Chapter 44: A Sudden Tackle Out of Nowhere

Just as the car was about to plunge into the pond, faster than thought, Qin Ze swiftly spun the steering wheel, swerving his vehicle diagonally to intercept Song Xixi's car. At the very moment before impact, he precisely controlled his speed, using the side of his car as a physical barrier to forcefully block her path.

"Bang!" Accompanied by a screeching sound of brakes and metallic collision, the two vehicles finally came to a halt.

The deafening crash jolted Song Xixi back to her senses. She sat there in a daze. It was these friends of hers, yet even her cousin showed no concern—or perhaps, the truth was that he was well aware of their true colors.

After getting out of the car, Jiuer handed Tuanzi over to Yu Huan for safekeeping, then took Jing Muyuan by the hand and led her to a seat at Milk Tea Tales on the second floor of the mall.

And so, reluctantly feeling their way past the rigid zombie soldiers for the better part of a day, Wu Xie and Fatty began to make out the faint outlines of objects, whether because their eyes had adjusted to the darkness or because there was indeed some light around them.

"Master, let's charge in! It looks like Mom and the others are in extreme danger!" Red Thread urged her master anxiously.

"Don't cry!" Watching Chai Jiayin shed tears, I panicked instantly, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, and tried to comfort her with a flustered tone.

As if recalling something, Hong Sicheng gave a start, his entire body shuddering. Then, leaping up with difficulty to conceal his excitement, he tremblingly pulled out a thread-bound ancient volume that clearly had a long history.

No wonder people always say heroes have a hard time resisting beauties; if Gu Nianqing were to treat him like this always, he would willingly forfeit his life for her.

A sharp scream came from behind. Gu Nianqing turned her head and saw those two matrons lunging madly and indiscriminately toward her and Murong Jing.

Su Can found it impossible to believe. Such a powerful opponent—one that even dared to tear off the arm of the spacetime nightmare and swallow it raw—would fear a mere trifle of poison?

The Ghost Envoy gave a playful smile, as if he had encountered something amusing. However, his eyes lacked their previous casualness, turning earnest instead.

Tang Nian's grades always hovered near the passing line, while Tang Min's were among the best. Therefore, Tang Min was waiting to watch Tang Nian make a fool of herself this time, eager to see if she would be lucky enough to pass once more.

Hearing such boastful nonsense, Chen Jiamin didn't want to waste any more time with him, so she grabbed him directly and shoved him out the door.

There was only one chance. Perhaps when Rolf couldn't find his whereabouts, he would peek out. If he could seize that moment, he might be able to take down the opponent—though, of course, this possibility was entirely Wang Hao's own guesswork.

"Is that so? Where in the world is there any easy kung fu to learn? The sword techniques of Sword Lake Pool are not that easy to master, wouldn't you say?" Kong Xuan asked Fei Wuji.

After their mental power was enhanced, Qin Yi and Jianbai once again began to consume the soul energy of those two Tribulation-stage ghosts.

Just as the soul blades of those several ancient ghosts before them were about to slash down, a ray of light flashed like a shooting star, and those ancient ghosts were instantly blasted into nothingness.

Zhao Yang's vision went black as a whirlwind suddenly rose around him. Opening his eyes to look, he saw Mo Wuxie already standing guard before him, the dragon-tendon cleaver in his hand spinning rapidly like a windmill to slice apart the oncoming pillars of snow.

They shook their heads, having no idea what this man meant by his words, and didn't dwell on it further as they began to busy themselves around the hall. Li Dong's challenge had left the place in utter chaos; not only did they have to tidy up the venue, but they also had to reorganize the students.

Right at that moment, Hulk was hoisted onto the highest throne by the native inhabitants of the desolate planet, leading the survivors to begin rebuilding their homeland on this scarred and battered earth.

"Dad, to tell you the truth, I actually came back long ago and stayed in Shanghai for a while. Originally, I had no intention of returning to Changjiang, but I received some news. That's why I had to come back—I'm going to take back everything we lost!" Murong Feilong said with a piercing gaze.
