Volume 1, Chapter 39: Is She Truly Beyond Saving?

The Diamond Gang seized upon this, linking human organ harvesting to their usury business. They even set fixed prices, forcing those unable to repay their high-interest loans to settle their debts with their own organs.

He repeatedly practiced the Blood-Slaying Spear, polishing his spear intent until it became increasingly refined. Gradually, the amplification provided by the nascent spear intent reached fifty percent.

Zi Lingtian stood in the center, calm and composed, looking down at the hundred-plus people wailing on the ground. "If this were a life-or-death struggle, I could have finished you all off in a few moves," he said.

Chen Fan muttered to himself as he reached the office door. It was closed, which puzzled him; under normal circumstances, Hu Xiang'er should have been there at this time.

Both of these are the bane of spirit weapons, yet one of humanity's greatest advantages over spirit beasts is the ability to augment their strength through such weapons.

However, within the fire formation, his strength was heavily suppressed, making it far less easy to slay the fire ape.

Were it not for the famous general Hu Lüxie, who was serving as the Inspector of Shuozhou in the North at the time, and his clever tactics in defeating the Turkic cavalry, the situation would have been even more critical.

"Really? That’s wonderful! You are the heroes of Huayun Star; please stay in the City Lord's Mansion to await the birth!" City Lord Wu Yang exclaimed, overjoyed.

"Could it be that the young man has taken a fancy to Lady Yiqian and intends to kill the handsome youth by her side?"

The bride gave a soft, shy, yet sweet response. She had fallen for him at first sight and resolved that, from this day forward, she would support her husband, raise their children, and be a devoted wife.

Yin Shixiu was so amused by Xiao Anhe’s smug expression that he began to chuckle, only to fall into a fit of coughing.

That night, Mei Sanniang arrived at the villa, grievously wounded. Her painted skin was ruined, seemingly slashed by a sword, revealing the charred true form beneath. Her soul was flickering, on the verge of dissipation, until Shi Hui burned three sticks of incense to barely stabilize her form.

Meanwhile, Li Dong suddenly recalled the large pit behind it. Generally, graves are located behind tombstones. If his intuition was correct, that pit must be where Tang Haishan was buried.

Zhou Zekai was in a good mood. Seeing that it was already half-past eight, he instructed the hotel chef to prepare another breakfast before heading to Tang Bingyu’s door, ringing the bell, and waiting for her to come out.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six states and brought an end to the era of slavery, ushering in feudal society, yet human sacrifice did not cease. Shi Hui did not care for the exclusive exaltation of Confucianism, but she felt it had its merits. One should be grateful to Confucianism for the decline of human sacrifice; it truly played a role in reducing the practice.

Jinkui saw it clearly: these people were the very same tea drinkers who had been boasting and chatting in the teahouse earlier. It turned out that the person who had booked the entire inn was an agent of Zi Zhao.

Upon seeing Captain Song’s gesture, Wang Mazi suddenly realized that his own voice would attract the insects. Conscious of his mistake, he quickly clamped his mouth shut and said no more.

Hearing Shi Yao’s words, Baili Ziqian said nothing, merely glanced at her, and turned to walk into the bamboo grove.

Gu Fanghou’s face alternated between red and white, beads of sweat thick on his forehead, yet they refused to fall.

Shura’s words reminded Shi Hui of the curse’s backlash suffered by Empress Yinyue. In the bones of Empress Yinyue lived an arrogant pride; such a person cares far more about a traitor than an enemy. Could the one for whom Empress Yinyue would risk self-destruction to curse be Blue Demon?

Duofuding’s eyes grew moist, his hands trembling incessantly as he was moved by the sight. Afterward, he wiped the tears from his eyes.

This process is irreversible; citizens of the IT Federation will no longer enjoy human rights in the material world and must obey Detroit forever.

"Nothing, just wandering around the neighborhood. I saw it looked like they were filming a movie and it seemed quite lively, so I came to take a look." Mu Zhixuan cast a faint glance at Cheng Nuo, placing special emphasis on the word "lively," which made Cheng Nuo’s heart skip a beat.

Yin Yi excitedly flipped open the legendary college entrance exam mock papers, eager to read them, only to see Zhou Quan walking toward her, looking dejected.

Following this, Sun Wutian dodged an attack from Raditz behind him, using a series of "M"-shaped jumps to put some distance between himself and the two.

There are two ways for martial artists to enter the game: one is by directly scanning their physical data, and the other is by selecting a system character for combat. Regardless of the method, both grant the martial artist combat experience and improve their strength.

Long Qingchen sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing. In truth, fighting two matches in a row had not consumed much of his dragon power or spiritual energy, but he had to keep up appearances—it was a sign of respect for his opponent and a way to save face for the Jiang family.

"I understand what you mean now. What do you need me to do?" Long Jianfei felt a surge of secret joy.

Although Long Jianfei was staring at the screen, he noticed a slight anomaly. The lights in the corridor outside were on. Subconsciously, he moved his hand toward his headset, creating a gap between the earphone and his ear, and could clearly feel the rise and fall of warm air just two meters behind him.

"Is this the laboratory the God-Slayer mentioned?" Zhang Shanfeng was puzzled; it looked nothing like the laboratories he had seen on Blue Star.

A faint red dot suddenly appeared in Xirui’s left eye. He spun around abruptly, staring blankly in the direction of the Blood-Stained Wilderness.

He never expected that after coming to this world, the computer program he controlled would become so miraculous once he used divine power to nurture its intelligence.
