Chapter 34: A Kitchen Knife Surveys the Crowd
Su Li gripped the kitchen knife and took a step forward.
"Mom, put the knife down, don't be impulsive!"
"Mom—if there’s going to be a fight, let’s just fight! Why are you bringing a knife?"
Su Li glared sternly at her third and fourth sons, the two most sensible heads in the family.
"Mom, let’s go!"
Li Meilan, carrying a shoulder pole, walked over, confused as to why Su Li had stopped. The moment she saw Su Li grab the knife, her first instinct had been to follow her mother-in-law’s lead.
Lingdang had an outgoing personality; no matter whose arms she ended up in, she could strike up a conversation, chatting about anything and everything.
"He detonated himself. He compressed all his internal energy into his Dantian. Once it reached a critical point, a single thought was enough to trigger a violent explosion. It is a suicide tactic; the higher the cultivation, the greater the destructive power."
Clang! Stark was shocked to find himself, along with his heavy steel armor, sent flying by a massive blow.
The deceased had carried the trash bin out of the courtyard gate. He must have walked toward Tuen Mun for a stretch, then turned south before veering east, eventually arriving at the East Gate and ending up in this stone house.
However, the observant Murad IV still caught a glimmer of resentment and dejection in their eyes.
They whispered among themselves, but as they watched the two being whipped, many of the onlookers dared not look anymore; the punishment was brutal.
The last one remaining was the big man, but seeing the situation now, his eyes were filled with terror.
Bullets pinged against the shadows. The lead Super Winter Soldier faltered, charging toward Hawkeye, who was firing arrows. Hawkeye had to scramble and dodge in a panic, yet even so, he managed to squeeze off a cold shot, piercing the throat of another terrorist.
"You really are pathetic, though. Of all the places to run, you had to come to me." He snorted coldly, his feet light as he flashed forward.
Little did he know, when it came to digging up dirt on Zhang Yingxia, Li Mingyang didn't even rank on the forums.
Although he felt no fondness for Louise, he had to admit she had a magnificent figure. Her enchanting, beautiful face and devilish body were the most lethal weapons for any man, stirring up the most primal desires.
Perhaps for fear of being caught in the fire, there were no members of the Soul Hunting Stronghold nearby, and naturally, no guards to be seen.
This was a direct order: regardless of the process, the outcome had to be exactly as he described! Otherwise, what dignity would his honorable Empire of Japan have left?
Golden light erupted as Mo Fan’s body was enveloped in a radiance that replaced the Green Lotus Divine Flame, forming an energy cloak that covered him completely. This was the power of the Flawless Sacred Body.
Meanwhile, Shen Long and Ding Xiaoxie had made their final preparations. Numerous bodyguards surrounded Shen Long, Luo Huiling, and the three Fang sisters, shielding them as they headed toward the courthouse entrance.
Upon reaching this point, the taxi driver felt uneasy about proceeding further. After all, on such a dark and windy night, with Jing Guantian heading off alone into this wilderness, heaven only knew if he was about to commit some illegal act.
Panic clouded Lin’s face. Forgetting her own status, she reached out to pull at the people lying on the ground, but after searching, she could not find Lucy anywhere.
No matter how nicely she put it, if she didn't reveal Ling Qingwan’s whereabouts to them, she would gain nothing. Chen Xiaomei gripped her phone tightly, the veins on the back of her hand bulging. She took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.
"Bai Sang! You are the greatest scholar I have ever met. Your understanding of Japan is superior to all the Japanese scholars I have ever encountered put together!" Tian Mu even changed how he addressed Shen Long.
Many years ago, because of the Gu family stocks in Gu Xianglan’s possession, she had severed ties with the Gu family for a long time. The Qi siblings naturally hadn't returned to the Gu family either, and the two had barely met more than a few times.
