Volume 1, Chapter 135: Run Faster

Before him, there was only pitch-black darkness. Shen Xingchen finally realized he had lost consciousness.

It had not been a giant falling meteorite at all; it was that wretched kidnapper kicking his backside!

"..."

"Are you taking your frustrations out on me just because I didn't pay the ransom?" Shen Xingchen thought the kidnapper was being quite unreasonable, his tone laced with a hint of complaint.

Hearing this, Mo'e and Li Ziye exchanged glances. Then, Mo'e raised a claw, and a beam of black light descended, causing Wang Luo to collapse to the ground instantly.

Subsequently, they found Tristan. When Schalz proposed taking a small group of mages out for reconnaissance and asked Tristan to remain behind to assume temporary command, Tristan gladly accepted.

The Stone Man saw that Li Bai had moved far away from the temple and sat down at the entrance, motionless as a great mountain.

Many people opened their eyes in shock, roused from their meditation, and looked up at the sky, wondering what had happened.

As soon as Zhang Chen's divine sense touched the black mist, he felt a sharp, stabbing pain. Alarmed, he hurriedly withdrew his consciousness, but the Xuanyuan Sword continued its trajectory, shooting toward Bai Yue.

Zhen Qian finally understood clearly: people in this era valued their reputation more than their lives. Especially for someone like Wang Cheng, who could not let go of his pride and had a powerful family behind him—how could he possibly defect to the pirates?

Zhao Yan frowned as he looked at the crowd kneeling before him and noticed the growing number of onlookers outside.

"Very well, Senior, follow me." The Xuanji Sect cultivator was overjoyed and tossed out a magical artifact, flying off into the distance.

Having said that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Bolie to respond. Moments later, Bolie heard the fax machine beside him begin to chime.

Nearly two hundred meters in length—could something so massive really fly? Lao Qi still felt a bit uneasy; after all, flying in the sky was not like being on the ground, and once something went wrong, there was no way out.

"Is that all?" The man braced himself on the bed with his hands, pulling back slightly from Su Nuan, and asked with keen interest.

As long as you do not strike him down completely, Yi Shuihan will always find a way out of his predicament and never stop moving forward.

"We are now broadcasting a latest update: betting pools have been opened for this dog competition. To all viewers and friends, if you wish to place a wager, now is the time." Just then, the style on the big screen shifted abruptly, turning into a betting segment for Er Ya and her dog.

Finally, Huang Yichen arrived with two large magical beasts, also tense and ready for battle, only to find that everything was quiet and nothing was happening. He was left speechless, as was everyone else.

Prince Jian had been staying here for over a month. Seeing that the time was ripe, Fei'er went to him to build a rapport.

The men in white coats finished bandaging Deng Yang's wounds and left after collecting their payment from Meng Fei. Ruan Xiangqin came out to take the baby and bring him to Zhu Zhu for feeding; after all, breast milk was the best natural nourishment.

Furthermore, Shuihan's level of martial arts knowledge was far superior to anything on Earth. His cultivation realm was truly much higher than Du Shaohua's. He integrated the moves of this spear technique into the methods of the Great Immortal World, only to discover that it was better suited for executing these external martial arts than using the foundations of Earth's martial arts.

On the other hand, the suffering Leng Ye endured in his childhood was beyond what any ordinary person could imagine. Therefore, although Steward Wang disapproved of some of Leng Ye's actions, he felt a sense of heartache and helplessness. Bound by his position, he could not stop Leng Ye's deeds, yet he could not help but try to offer some counsel.

The Du family had already learned from Du Haiyang about Luffy's draconian terms, and they were furious. Since when had the Du family become mere nobodies to be bullied? Yet this fellow had the audacity to demand forty percent right off the bat—he wasn't afraid of choking on it.
