Chapter 53

While Lin Yang and the other three were shocked by the Heavenly Emperor's immense power, the Heavenly Emperor also formed a different perspective on their abilities. Mere ants from the lower realms had actually blocked his blow and remained completely unharmed. Had this been in the Divine Realm, these four would undoubtedly have possessed the potential to threaten him.

"Indeed, now is not the time to despair. The Chinese are strong, but we are not weak either," Lieutenant General Seiji Moriya nodded.

Judging by everyone's capabilities, someone like Akagi, with a little ambition, could easily attain a high position within the Academy, just as Zeppelin had become her junior. If everyone truly wanted to make a career at Ship-Girl Headquarters, their status wouldn't be low—this was the consensus view back at the Naval District.

Despite this, the heavily battered Japanese forces had all fallen into a state of frenzy. They fought desperately to resist the advance of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, it was all to no avail. The scales of victory in the war had tilted completely toward the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The resistance of the Japanese troops was nothing more than the final struggles of a cornered beast.

"Chairman Tian, the fact that you could come in person honors us greatly. How could sending someone else ever suffice?" Lei Jun said warmly.

The family shared a warm and cozy lunch. After Tian Huai'en and Tang Xiuxiu went off for their afternoon naps, Tian Ze had robots carry several metal cases out from the sports car. Accompanied by the robots, Tian Ze entered the second-floor workshop. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the robots and looked down at the metal cases on the floor with a gaze burning with intense enthusiasm.

Lin Yang had originally wanted Uncle Simu to act as a witness, but Uncle Simu said that marriage between a human and a ghost was profoundly inauspicious, and he wanted nothing whatsoever to do with it.

"Hahahaha! Surprised? That's right, that weapon was definitely prepared for us. It is the power of the holy light, and it is certainly not something a filthy creature like you can covet," Orier laughed ungraciously, as if she could already foresee the scenario where the Heavenly Council possessed all three divine artifacts.

Mansheng reached her hands over Xiao Ju's neck, placing her palms and the box against his chest, and the two set off. During the journey, Mansheng dozed and slept on his back, repeatedly brushing her lips against his neck quite by accident.

"Master, why have we come here?" Hearing Six-Finger Demon phrase it that way, Hua Rumei calmed down considerably.

Deafening roars echoed endlessly. Within the Beast Clan Valley, every cultivator sensed the aura of impending doom approaching.

A flash of complex emotions crossed her eyes, yet she desperately wanted to know whether the Third Prince truly loved her.

At Xu Yang's words, Master Mo's face twitched. In his eyes, the Purple Cloud Sword was forged exceptionally well; although not entirely flawless, it was undeniably a top-tier treasured sword.

During this period, Chu Liyue ordered all shops to cut back on expenses and refrain from hiring new workers.

Because of the rampage of the Tailed Beast's chakra, wounds could be seen all over Naruto's body. Although they were typical external injuries, treating them was extremely troublesome—especially the physical damage caused by the rampaging chakra, which meant that even with superior medical ninjutsu, the recovery speed could not reach normal levels.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi let out a long sigh of relief. What he feared most was that Qin Yibai would act on a sudden impulse and insist on pushing forward regardless of the consequences, in which case he would only have to risk his life to accompany him.

"Wind Servant, what is going on?" Within Feng Wuqing's soul sea, Divine Record's expression was somewhat peculiar, while Sui Xin's face was actually a bit pale.

Seeing Xiao Li lying on the ground unconscious and uncomprehending, Lin Chen gave him a vicious kick. "Utterly useless, passing out just like this." Lin Chen pulled a cigar from his pocket and lit it; he urgently needed to calm his nerves now, lest he frighten Zhong Qiqi.

Before the mysterious figure could finish speaking, Lin Yun suddenly felt a dazzling glare before his eyes and instinctively closed them. When he opened them again, the scene before him had completely changed.

Seeing Lin Yun emerge, the tall and thin cultivator immediately wore a full smile, though his narrow, slanted eyes gave off an impression of craftiness.

The other two monsters rushed backward, leaping high and darting low, yet the Soul-Calling Bell and the Death-Slaying Saber seemed to possess a life of their own. No matter how they moved, the weapons relentlessly pursued them. Feng Qinglong's eyes were bloodshot as he chanted incantations. He had stripped off his outer Tibetan robe to reveal a Daoist robe underneath, upon which two azure dragons writhed and coiled as if trying to burst free from the fabric.

Just a few days ago, she was still making excuses to move out, dropping hints over and over about keeping her distance from Prince Zhao's Heir, yet how was it that after only a few days, she was thinking of traveling back with him? Wasn't such snobbery a bit much?

"Mom, Minghai's issue has been resolved. Yu Le's ability is beyond your imagination." Jiang Wan sat down as well, leaning against Jiang Hongmei, speaking vaguely and not daring to meet her mother's eyes, as if feeling a sense of guilt.

Walking slowly past the Pool of Ten Evils Metamorphosis, night had already fallen, and those golden lotuses were slowly being dyed black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For many days thereafter, A-Huang sat cross-legged on a futon, leisurely meditating while holding a glass bottle resembling a cola bottle. As he sipped, he studied that peculiar stone he had previously acquired from the Yongqi Star Daheng Clan's auction house, which had been transferred to him by that person named Ming Xu.

Fortunately, the quarreling couple started arguing again, and most people glanced over briefly before turning their heads back. Only then did Taoran let out a heavy sigh of relief, thinking to herself: *Good thing it didn't draw attention! How boring, some people just love watching a spectacle—what on earth is so entertaining about an argument?*
