Volume 1, Chapter 64: Xie Zhigang's Dying Struggle

The Xie Corporation was in a precarious state, battered by winds and rain.

The once magnificent and imposing office building was now shrouded in a dead, suffocating gloom.

Xie Zhigang’s hair was disheveled, his eye sockets deeply sunken, and his bloodshot eyes filled with a complex emotion intertwining anxiety and panic.

He paced back and forth in the office like a trapped beast, his expensive leather shoes treading heavily on the carpet, producing a dull sound that only heightened his irritability.

"What should I do? What should I do?!"

Xie Zhigang muttered incessantly, his voice as hoarse as an old, broken bellows.

Just as Liu Shifeng and his wife were discussing Liu Hong and Yun Tianhe, worrying about the marriage of the younger generation, Liu Hong, on the other side, furrowed his brows slightly and looked toward the east.

Sun Wukong stared fixedly at the talking demon beast. It was an Immortal Emperor whose cultivation level was on par with Sun Wukong's, but if it came to a fight, this demon beast would definitely not be a match for Sun Wukong.

Suppressing the riot of the Philosopher's Stone's energy caused by an unknown gravitational force, Liu Hong gathered them back into his Tanzhong acupoint, while simultaneously tapping rapidly around the area.

A cracking sound echoed from the solid rock, and the emerging fissures spread and danced along with the flying rubble. Ilott clutched his oppressed chest and flashed sideways to dodge, just as a deafening tearing sound erupted with a loud boom, and from mid-air, it collapsed and shattered into several pieces.

Zhang Jian suddenly felt a trace of regret for having allowed Yang Jian to take away Yu'er and Wu Gang. If they were still here, Chang'e would have had some reservations and wouldn't have been able to leave with such carefree detachment.

As a medical student, he was naturally unwilling to believe in such bizarre and supernatural phenomena, but for some reason, recalling the words Li Xueqi had spoken made his heart flutter with involuntary panic.

The moment Sang Ruo obtained that seal, within mere moments, the ocean returned to a calm and tranquil state. The vessel safely crossed into a safe zone, and the sharks in the water inexplicably vanished, replaced instead by a pod of playful, endearing dolphins that leapt and bounded out of the surface from time to time.

"Who told me to be so poor?" he muttered with self-deprecating humor. The next second, he abruptly reached out to clutch his abdomen, feeling a faint, internal pulling pain in his viscera.

A short while later, they more or less agreed on the rent. However, an unexpected issue arose: the landlord requested Xia Yi's identity card, but having been constantly running for cover and changing through several sets of clothes during that period, his ID card had long since been lost.

So there were such people in this world after all. That damned consumptive wretch was his disciple—no wonder Changning had been paying lip service while acting otherwise.

However, I also knew in my heart that this attack was likely exploratory in nature. The Nightwalker organization certainly had more than just these few chips up their sleeves, and they would probably make a comeback soon.

Malevolent Qi is different from murderous intent. Murderous intent is an aura generated by a person or animal toward their enemies or targets, whereas malevolent Qi is more of an encroachment; it slowly corrodes your fortune, step by step leading you toward a dead end.

After finally dragging himself through the preparation of the meal and sitting down at the dining table, the overwhelming hospitality of Xu Manman's mother made Li Ming feel thoroughly uneasy.

Qin Hao immediately agreed. Facing over a dozen corpses with such a large group of people would certainly be a messy ordeal, but for Qin Hao, he could guarantee that he would have absolutely no problems.

As for this eminent monk, he had accidentally obtained this sheepskin scroll, which was why he had specifically come to investigate. Who would have thought he would meet with a fatal disaster? Truly, it was all a matter of destiny and timing.

Hua Hu caught the pungent, choking smell of burning from afar. Upon drawing closer, he saw hundreds of coalition soldiers burned alive in a sea of fire. Across from them, three sorcerers were still slaughtering the remaining coalition troops, who finally broke under the cruel brutality of the scene and retreated amid agonizing cries.

Although the strength of the four members of the Bai Ze clan was unexpectedly formidable, they were all cultivators who had transcended the Martial Emperor realm. Since they were determined to escape, the three pursuers still had great confidence in letting them slip away safely.

Among Qianlong Tongbao coins, the carved mother coins are the most valuable. Since trial coins were cast directly from the carved mother coins, they are slightly larger in standard than ordinary coins, with extremely clear and deep script, and most importantly, exceptional quality. Therefore, while trial coins may not be as valuable as carved mother coins, they hold far greater value than ordinary Qianlong Tongbao coins.
