Chapter 264: 021 Duty Calls

The penguin’s rapid movement was indeed swift.

It came in a rush and left in a rush.

Yu Xing had to complain to the senior elders about this acquisition attempt, asking investors in the funding group: “Who the hell does something like this? Is this even an acquisition?”

Zhang Suyang: “Usually only someone with an inflated ego or someone truly formidable would act like this.”

Xu Xin added: “This vice president of Penguin is genuinely formidable as well; he…”

Wang Chonghan suddenly sat up, startling the men, two or three of whom immediately drew their knives. Wang Chonghan remained calm, sitting leisurely on the stool, smiling at them.

“What are you planning?” The goatee man, sensing Zhao Xin’s intent, stepped in front of his sister and met Zhao Xin’s gaze.

Before the leopard beastman could break through, two ox beastmen had already turned to ash, then the leopard beastman’s aura fluctuated wildly for a while before finally exploding.

Condensing qi into form is merely one way of carrying essence and energy; its shape can change endlessly, and its power depends entirely on one’s realm and the strength of one’s essence. It is a form of self-enhancement, and once damaged, it can be endlessly replenished with essence—so compared to the Dharma Form, they are entirely different.

The office door opened, and the three inside looked up in surprise; besides Liu Weiqiang and Guo Zairong, the man they had seen in newspapers and on TV now entered their view.

Later, Huang Chao misused his men; Zhu Wen defected mid-battle and slaughtered the rebel army, leaving bodies strewn across the land. Huang Chao, sensing his end was near, handed the Qingyun Sword to his nephew Lin Yan and the Baiyun Sword to his guard Lu Ji, ordering both to flee with the blades.

Xiao Cuixin lifted her head and saw the man before her with streaks of gray at his temples, his face gentle and kind, smiling at her. Suddenly, she remembered her father Yelü Bei’s voice and expression, her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Yi grew curious and walked over. Before he reached the door, he had already sensed through his spiritual sense who the visitor was.

The group drew a sharp breath and murmured in astonishment; especially Mark, who looked utterly stunned.

Luo Tianhua glanced sidelong at the barbarians, then slowly sheathed his Soul-Reaping Scythe, pulled out a handkerchief, and wiped the blood from his hands. Throughout the entire motion, the surrounding barbarians remained silent and motionless, too terrified to move.

Yet when someone treats you even slightly poorly, you forget all the good they’ve ever done you and instead feel they’ve wronged you.

Only upon closer inspection did she notice a string of golden earrings hanging from her thick earlobes, each step producing a chime.

I thought to myself: You dare pluck hairs from the King of Hell himself—this alone proves to every ghost in the Underworld that you’re an unprecedented real man.

“Gu Xinghun, can’t hold up anymore? Hmph! It’s child’s play for my Shadow Demon Sect to deal with you!” Jin Chengshan roared, charging fiercely at Gu Xinghun.

“That’s true,” Qian Longtian said, noticing Yue Anyi’s expression change. “Yue’er, think—when Yue returned to report, Ye was only a little over two years old. It’s only natural he wouldn’t recognize him.”

A golden flame swept through, burning vast stretches of vegetation, its devouring speed terrifying and spreading wildly.

After all, everyone knew about Zhou Xingyun’s little mess; Wei Suyao had been worrying lately about explaining to her master, begging the old man to show mercy and allow her to be with Zhou Xingyun.

A force of over a thousand troops was orderly deployed around, forming an ironclad defensive formation.

Only then did she realize, belatedly, that she was lying on a bed—and sharing it with Lu Feng. Her face instantly turned as red as an apple.

From his eyes, Mo Fan sensed another layer—experience gained from having once been adversaries.
