Chapter 52: On Edge

The palm strike came crashing down, its immense force enough to make Ye Rou's heart tremble. She hurriedly raised her sword to block, but she had clearly underestimated the strength behind that palm. The surge of power knocked the sword from her grasp, and the residual shock numbed her wrist, making her entire right arm tremble. Meanwhile, Ye Cheng’s assault was relentless, like an unending tide—his left hand struck out, landing squarely on her chest, and the tremendous impact sent her flying.

...

Perhaps it was due to her poor health and lack of appetite, but Lady Li barely ate. After only a few steps, she started coughing. The “power detection” was a function of the Sword God System; it could analyze the attributes of any enemy whose strength was not vastly superior to the system’s host.

“Don’t get any ideas. I’m just worried you won’t be able to get up. When you’re injured, you must keep up your nutrition. After you finish eating, go and rest. You have the day off. If we get hungry after our nap, we’ll just order delivery ourselves.” Ye Anqi, clearly remembering what Fu Yan had said, blushed and tried to slip away.

Everyone suggested naming her child simply “Maple,” which was both fate’s will and her husband’s wish. Moreover, Wang Xi had regained her previous memories; the only thing she couldn’t recall was what happened after Min Yucheng revealed his identity. She was desperate to ask Yun Yi about it.

A thunderous roar echoed throughout the entire Ghost God Alliance’s inner sect, startling Lin Ying, who had been watching the sunset with Zi Mo’er. He recognized the voice and burst into hearty laughter.

Li Si’s eyes widened in disbelief—he had never expected this fellow to be so shameless.

“Ever since I started pretending, no one has seen through me. How did you find out?” So the girl had been suspicious all along, but where had he slipped?

Sun Zudong, following the chief of staff’s suggestion to train and test the new recruits, ordered two newly formed platoons to assist the investigation squad.

The person across from him said nothing, and he himself had nothing to say. After watching the air conditioner’s fan spin for a while, his eyelids began to droop. They wrestled against sleep for a bit, but eventually both drifted off.

“Your Highness, why don’t you stop them?” Huang Jin was puzzled; those three demon priests seemed to be carrying burdens too heavy to bear.

At that moment, Hou Yi was truly furious. “If everything is fate, then what’s the point of anything existing in this world? Destroy it all and be done!” His tantrum was so much like a child’s that the Great Emperor Pangu simply ignored his outburst.

“I do! I do! As long as you’ll marry me in the end, I don’t mind if you go out and have fun!” Xu Xinya was at her wit’s end, desperate to keep him. In the private room, Wang Shulin was so stunned by what he heard that even his bowels seemed to freeze.

Seeing this, Mu Fan gathered his strength and fled swiftly. The Three-Colored Green Snake chased him relentlessly, while the realgar on both sides proved useless.

Indeed, for the past month, Team IV had been tirelessly practicing their FT-OP tactics. In their practice matches, this double-edged sword approach allowed them to go toe-to-toe with some of Korea’s top teams, achieving an even win rate—this was the fruit of their training.

She had been secretly following Ji Feng all day and witnessed the incident at the station. But she had never known what level of strength Ji Feng possessed, nor had she ever seen him in action.

“I don’t know you, damn it!” These guys had no idea who Wang Hao and his group were. They assumed some rich kid was pretending to be close to Ji Feng, so they cursed and charged at him.

After casting a slowing spell on Kennan, Gnar twisted and dodged left and right. As long as he avoided Kennan’s skill shot, he’d survive.

Of course, both the Six-Pointed Star Array and the Big Dipper Array had always existed only in theory. After all, never before had so many people undergone tribulation at the same time; even the Four Symbols Array was being used for the very first time in countless years.
