Chapter 59: True Precision Demolition!
The strength of the Immortals was plain for all to see.
Their thick scales made them as durable and resilient as dragons. Ordinary weapons could not pierce their defense at all, and even bullets and explosions were useless against them, leaving not even the faintest white mark upon their scales.
Moreover, even if their hearts were pierced, all their vital organs completely destroyed, or their limbs severed, it was all to no avail. They possessed terrifying self-healing abilities, were exceptionally rich in combat experience, and were capable of using spiritual incantations.
Especially because...
"If sealing the gambling dens by imperial decree is unfeasible, Tianling has indeed thought of a method, though I am uncertain whether it will prove effective." Once the Emperor finished speaking, Tianling spoke up, then quietly awaited the Emperor's inquiry.
Looking at the somewhat delirious Han Mucheng, Qiu Ai was momentarily at a loss as to what kind of method had been used. "Could it be that Annie has awakened some kind of hallucinogenic poison-type ability?"
Noticing the commotion, Qiu Ai finally climbed up and dusted the dirt off her body. Suddenly feeling a slight ache in her abdomen, she pressed a hand to her stomach, guessing that her period might have arrived. Seeing the giant purple snake guarding her, she figured the mission must have been a success.
In the past, whenever Ye Chen's cut-off hair was swept away during an episode, it was simply thrown out directly. She had never once considered selling it.
"Come here, Niannian. These grapes are imported—safe and delicious. Grandpa knows that Niannian loves grapes the most, so he specifically had someone buy them back. Eat a few more." The old man picked up a grape and personally peeled it for her.
Grandpa Hai smiled and recounted the events that had transpired by the viewing platform to Tianling. Having served by the Emperor's side for so many years, he could tell that the Emperor treated Tianling with exceptional distinction. Those who served before the throne always paid more attention to reading people than to looking at their age.
It seemed her strike had indeed been a bit too heavy. Tianling glanced at the irritated Liang Shengzi, knowing full well that no matter how she explained, it would be useless now.
The Butcher was relatively calm; seeing the Demon Lord appear did not shock him overly much, though he was somewhat surprised by the Demon Lord's sudden arrival.
By evening, they finally reached a town. It looked rather desolate and scarred by ruin, suggesting that any survivors must have perished long ago.
Black Mountain was the only mountain possessing a spiritual vein within a remote and barren mountain range west of the Dragon Creek Kingdom. Moreover, the spiritual vein belonged to a substandard tier, which was why the Dragon Creek Kingdom completely ignored everything concerning this place.
"Hehe, my fault, my fault." Zhang Yi immediately hurried to the other side of the office desk, wearing a ingratiating and cheeky smile.
"Don't thank me, I didn't do anything!" Turning her face away, Fang Xiaojia said with a slight flush. Had Tom not been truly pitiful and Li Shaoyang persistent, she never would have agreed to let Li Shaoyang return.
Within the Luo Fu Sect, mutual slaughter among sect members was strictly prohibited—no sect permitted such behavior.
A dense barrage of explosive kinetic energy resounded. The two figures were sent tumbling backward, tumbling out with a dull thud beyond the bamboo fence. Their complexions were pale, their Dharma robes torn to shreds, and even the Daoist crowns upon their heads had fallen off, revealing disheveled manes of long hair.
Gongsun Xuanba furrowed his slender brows, and with a gentle tap of his bare feet, he slowly suspended himself in mid-air.
He did not ask any further questions, nor did he converse with the blue-light great demon. Taking advantage of the demon's profound internal terror and gradually failing spiritual defenses, he immediately thrust his fingers out and violently shoved them into the creature's mouth.
Rena Mizunashi's apartment building was located near Beibo Square—the very same Beibo Square where Inspector Megure had once experienced a narrow escape. As for the amusement park nearby, the place that held memories for Officer Sato, it had now been converted into an urban agricultural experimental base.
During this time, a log was discovered, from which they learned that the base had hosted a New Year's cocktail party to welcome the visiting fleet, and all the soldiers had gone ashore to attend. They also received a prompt suggesting they visit the restroom, so they went and relieved themselves there.
Her eyes widened instantly, staring in disbelief at Fang Zhong and his outstretched longsword. The sword had already pierced her battered body, and fresh blood instantly gushed forth.
"I say, cute girl, were you triggered by something? Why are you cursing me?" Sun Hao said helplessly.
