Chapter 139: A Silent Woman? Fainting Before the Restaurant

"What exactly is this thing?" Captain Ginyu struggled to his feet. A power level exceeding two hundred thousand filled him with profound dread. Fortunately, that massive claw had vanished; otherwise, only Frieza could have stood a chance against it.

Moments later, the door swung open and Hua Sheng walked in. Mo Yange’s face, which had finally lost its crimson flush, turned bright red once again.

Mo Xixi could hardly wait to see those detestable people beaten to the ground by her brother.

"Gou Zhe, have you lost your mind? You spent so much spiritual essence stone just to buy this thing?" San Bai whispered, leaning in close.

Since Xu Fei had suggested it, I felt confident enough to give it a try. I gripped the steel bar in my left hand and the sword in my right, delivering a downward slash. I felt only the slightest resistance, much like cutting wood with a sharp blade. With a crisp "clang," the steel bar was severed in two, the cross-section perfectly smooth. I inspected the sword’s edge, but there was not a single notch to be found.

"San Bai, look. I don’t even need to dismiss them; those who are determined to leave will do so of their own accord," Lin Zhe transmitted telepathically.

As the workday drew to a close, Chen Xiuqiao and Yu Dazhuang finally returned. To Xu Tianyu’s surprise, Chu Minglan was with them.

Of course, Adlan could wait a little longer—ten or twenty days—until the Endless Sea returned to calm, with only the occasional Naga causing trouble. Then he could deploy his massive army, ensuring a smooth passage to his destination.

After all, this was her first time acting tough. Chen Xiuqiao blushed slightly, feeling quite nervous, though she had to admit, the feeling of asserting herself was actually rather nice. Tee-hee.

Although these two martial slaves practiced martial arts, they were not qualified to obtain formal techniques for cultivation; they were merely ordinary men with slightly stronger physiques.

The ten-minute walk took twenty minutes. Not until they reached the entrance of the dormitory building did the two stop, standing silently face to face.

In a Shanghai hotel, Ouyang Ren sat before his computer. Seeing that the Lin Group had found a moment to breathe, a smile touched his lips. Yet, anyone who saw that smile would have felt a chill; though he appeared to be laughing, his eyes remained ice-cold.

"That guy, just because he has a higher cultivation realm than Brother Yiyang, he thinks he’s so great! If Brother Yiyang were at the same level, he’d definitely beat him like a stray dog," Niuniu said, furious at the sight of Yiyang’s injuries.

The spacious hall fell into a long, heavy silence, where one could hear a pin drop. After a long while, Lin Han took a deep breath, pushing aside the turmoil in his heart. Composing himself, he looked toward the Xiao clan ancestor, Xiao Yunshan, and spoke in a solemn voice.

In their respective rooms, the various factions reacted differently. Those on good terms with Dongxing were all smiles, while those who were indifferent or even hostile frowned, weighed down by heavy concerns. Han Yiwei’s sudden display of strength had instilled a fear that reached deep into their very souls.

After the brutal clash, Yiyang felt a massive jolt. An incredible sensation flooded his heart; he realized that his strikes were now effortless and focused, yet far more powerful than before.

Ye Qian was stunned—but for only a fleeting moment, and that was enough for him to die. He sat blankly on the ground, his eyes vacant as if his soul had been extinguished. After plotting against monsters that had lived for ten thousand years, he had been outplayed by a teenager. He had lost, and he had died right before his eyes.

"Three minutes!" Yu Bin immediately calculated the time he could retain his sanity. It was so fleeting; no wonder those powerful Abyss Watchers were one by one corrupted by the abyss. Such terrifying power was almost beyond human resistance.

Feng Qingkuang frowned. He had watched the battle between Lin Yu and Feng Yitian; if he were closed in on, his fate would be miserable. Thus, as soon as the wind element enveloped him, he retreated through the air. At the same time, he channeled the Immortal Phoenix Art, gathering fire elements to manifest wings.

As the words "Green Demon Order" left Lin Han’s lips, a bizarre scene suddenly unfolded.

Seeing Xie Zi’er reap so many military achievements, Lin Xian and the others, who were at a distance from the monster army, grew green with envy. Especially after seeing the Dazzling Wind-Chasing Eagle temporarily evolve into a Green-Winged Gale Eagle—knowing it was the effect of a special card—their envy only deepened.

A-Li’s companion had barely stepped inside when Yang Fan flashed to A-Li’s side like a ghost and slapped him across the face.

As it turned out, shortly after they had departed, the commander-in-chief of that warship received a restriction order from the U.S. government. Suddenly realizing that the ship that had just left was suspicious, he gave chase, leading to the current scene.

To be honest, Yu Chuxuan could swear that since their freshman year, he had never seen Wang Renxin and Tang Hao so unanimous in their opinions. Finally, after Yu Chuxuan’s repeated demands, the three of them allowed him the chance to put on his coat.

Under the gaze of numerous students, the boy in a sharp suit suddenly knelt before Luo Xueying. Tossing his hair back, he presented a large bouquet of roses and, after gathering his emotions, feigned deep affection: "It was love at first sight. The moment I met you, I knew I would die at your hands; only you can save me."

Although Chu Nan and Wang Fengming’s Young Marshal Army were currently at the height of their power, they still could not compare to the Yamaguchi-gumi. In the three northeastern provinces, the only force capable of challenging the Yamaguchi-gumi was the Black Dragon Society. However, the Black Dragon Society had business dealings with the Yamaguchi-gumi, making it impossible for them to help fight against them.

The Sea Siren Queen remained unhurried. The dragon’s might exerted no suppression upon her. In other words, while she feared the Dragon Emperor’s heaven-shaking power, she felt no fear toward the dragon race itself. Consequently, the pressure was useless. After a few graceful backflips, she dodged the Azure Dragon with a final, swift movement.

"He deserved to be beaten. From now on, every time I see him, I’ll beat him again," Yu Chuxuan declared arrogantly. When it came to fighting, he feared no one. Naturally, Jiang Yuxuan and the other two would not let Yu Chuxuan be surrounded; they stood by his side, ready for a major brawl.

Yang Fan hurriedly dodged, evading Red Scorpion’s attack, and then, spinning around, pulled her back into his arms.
