Chapter 149: A Hearty Appetite

Their flesh undergoes subtle chemical changes under various influences, either becoming more delicious or losing some of its flavor. But death is inconsequential—some live yet vanish from sight; others die but remain forever preserved in the collective memory.

Once visitors from the higher realm arrive, everything changes. They must have a close connection to their lineage, and if the Five Elements Divine Child reveals secrets to them, the situation for Zhao Tianxiong and the others will become perilous, potentially attracting even more enemies.

In the distance, a wave of murderous energy sweeps like a vast ocean, unsettling the mind and cracking with a sharp, brittle sound, as if about to shatter. Yet for Qin Chuan, who has already mastered the soul flame, it is utterly ineffective.

Though not a combat unit, those below suffered terribly, the ground littered with countless corpses.

“Could these be some undiscovered weapons from the original story?” Wu Fan couldn’t help but wonder.

Li Dusi, seeing Zeng Guofan's sudden fury, felt a buzzing in his head, a silent cry of despair. His legs weakened, and he collapsed to the ground.

The technical specifications of the P40 fighter jet were etched into the minds of the reserves, rehearsed endlessly. Everyone longed for the day this legendary aircraft—said to rival the mysterious Japanese fighter—would take to the skies for a fierce battle against the Japanese.

“Ono-kun, do you think the Empire of Japan will win?” After a long pause, Nishiyama Hideaki suddenly asked.

But the other party showed no hesitation, immediately grabbing Lisa, their tail flicking toward Li Wei like swatting a fly.

The primordial spirit is indeed the most vital part of life, yet a mere spirit alone cannot wield much influence.

Now, reality is less rigid than before, especially after the awakening of elemental powers. Battles have leaned toward the mystical; even before awakening, great families do not clash merely through capital or business.

Clark steadied himself in midair, gazing toward the storm’s center, where nothing remained but a vast, empty plain.

Before reaching the courtyard gate, several beautiful servants surged forward, helping the injured inside.

Some weak-willed individuals had their consciousness shattered; even if they left now, their fractured personalities would leave them as fools.

Just as Qin Chuchen pondered, a group approached the hall, led by Blade Azure Domain Lord Sun Hong.

Anxiety and panic tightened his grip on Xiahou Shuyao’s hand.

Luo Tong complied, scribbling on paper. At that moment, Fang Yuanshan called, inquiring about his sales and recent successes.

Hualuo’s mission in this world was to protect Baolian, preventing her from being wronged by others and thus averting the true apocalypse.

“I just want to go on a date; why is it so difficult? Wherever I go, trouble follows. Am I a walking disaster? Or is the mercenary title ‘Evil Lord’ truly cursed? Those who bear it rarely live past a year?”

Thus, as Jiang Xinyu repeatedly pushed past her limits in appetite, the table’s contents were nearly cleared.

Seeing Xiao Xiwei’s clear eyes, Chu Xizhi’s nose suddenly tingled with emotion. He bent down, kissing her forehead, holding her close without speaking for a long while.

When Wei Qianlan and Gu Ningyan were preparing to leave the palace, they unexpectedly met Su Pin coming toward them.

That roar startled Xiao Tangjian; he hadn’t expected Xiao Tang Tang to refuse so decisively. When did they gain such courage?

Recalling how every meeting required dressing as a boy, styling hair in a boy’s topknot, deliberately lowering his voice to mimic a voice-changed youth, and constantly deceiving his father, he felt utterly foolish.

“Truly cursed,” Ning Fuchen sighed, beginning to channel his cultivation to resist the pull.

“Shangguan Qing is me. Can you hear my voice?” Ye Luo shouted upon hearing her.

But thinking back, he should have sold the motorcycle then, at least to have some money. Looks like he’d be sleeping rough tonight, seeking a rooftop to absorb starlight.

In this life-or-death duel, no one would deliberately hide their strength. Moreover, Li Muyang’s every deed was grand and bold; he was no man for subtlety.

Rin and Obito looked at Kakashi with joy, sensing their old friend had returned.

Juinna was moved—Long Fei was truly striving to resurrect Minato, venturing alone into peril and confronting the world’s deadliest.

Yang Yi and Jones led 150 cavalry as mercenaries, forming the second wave. The Lev Knights, fully armored, stood at the forefront. Because this was a formal war, the knights adhered to tradition, agreeing to meet on a neutral clearing at the border.

Seeing their expressions, Lv Benzhong knew his words had an impact. If he could sway them further, he might yet save his own life.

A well-acted drama naturally brought rewards. Under Yang Yi’s subtle hints and blatant demands, bags of gold flowed into his pouch. Each time, Yang Yi and Fuman would secretly stash the ill-gotten gold away.

“Indeed, the intelligence unit has confirmed: the Iwa and Kumo villages’ forces have joined the Akatsuki. They are gathering on the far side of the Gray Plains. If you doubt, you can see for yourself,” Long Fei said, tapping the table with nonchalance.

Yet no one answered. “Huff!” Four high-grade magical tools shot toward the disciple. Sensing the attack, he swiftly wielded his own advanced artifacts in defense.

This made things much easier. Still, L refrained from rash action, uncertain if Light Yagami had exchanged for the Shinigami’s eyes.

Li Muyang’s body rose slowly, forcing open a huge hole in the oppressive light dome’s sword energy overhead.

Jinzi’s actions infuriated the Liang family. From the moment they arrived from the Qiu family, they were relentlessly beaten down, and in the end, the villains accused the good men and turned the tables.

Ye Chen’s heart hardened; his speed surged as he closed to within two meters behind the monstrous centipede. With his right hand forming a sword finger, a detached sword energy shot straight into the wound at the beast’s nape.
