Volume One, Chapter 40: The Corpse Demon

Lin Yun turned over the pages of the Prison Master's Magic Codex in his mind, reviewing the newly entered data of the muscular man from the Heavenly Demon organization, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Criminal: Liu Xizong
Evil Index: Level 7
Strength: Peak Tier 9 Super Esper
Status: Imprisoned
Capture Participation: 1%
Reward: 120 Experience Points/Hour

The muscular man in Cell Number 1 of the East District, Liu Xizong of the Heavenly Demon organization.

"With the same Level 7 Evil Index and the same Tier 9 Super Esper status," Lin Yun muttered to himself, "yet he provides even more experience than my top experience baby, Crimson Hair."

"It seems there are disparities in strength even among Tier 9 Super Esper powers. Liu Xizong's strength is definitely greater than Red..."

Thus, Leng Yan's oppressive aura did not cause Qiu Qiu to feel fear; instead, it allowed her to relax.

In a daze, Xu Fengchun felt extremely cold. Sensation of warmth beside him prompted him to lean closer. Giving little thought to what this warm object might be, he hugged it tightly and drifted back to sleep.

However, Gu Peng had already become a Tier 5 Awakened One, and the shadow clone he condensed had reached the Tier 4 level. Even if Liao Xiuqing and the others discovered the shadow clone in the future, they would no longer be able to defeat it.

Especially during the dead of winter and the period right after winter ended, it was utterly impossible for anyone to go exploring or budget-traveling in such a place.

Furthermore, many creatures of other races were dormant among this mountainous terrain. Witnessing this scene, their hair stood on end and their spines chilled. For a moment, a wave of shivering rippled through the mountain forest; grass and trees scattered haphazardly, green leaves and wood chips flew about, and all of them fled in a flurry.

It seemed as though she had truly lost far too many memories, leaving An Caiwen unable to keep pace with so many matters.

Everyone was seized with terror, looking up in panic beneath the blood-colored moonlight as vast quantities of gray shadows descended from the sky, resembling ferocious, clawing malevolent spirits of boundless terror.

Crystal tears streamed from Chi Wan's clear eyes. She revealed a bitter smile and spoke with a trembling voice.

However, it was merely a Dark Flame Demon Wolf, meaning the problem was not yet overly grave; after all, he still possessed that trump card! Yet this must surely be his opponent's ultimate trump card, Jerry thought to himself.

"Boom—rumble..." As they were speaking, a tremendous noise erupted, so powerful that it caused the barrier released by the stars to ripple slightly.

Fang Chen waved his hand to signal him to wait a moment, then turned and walked back into his room. He retrieved three century-old ginsengs from his spatial storage, pondered for a moment, and added quite a few Tier 2 fruits. Afterward, he took the last black fish from the refrigerator, placed it into a bamboo basket, and finally stepped out into the courtyard.

Consequently, Red Dragon recounted everything that had happened within his base. Listening from the side, Li Xin's expression gradually shifted, the corners of his mouth twitching from time to time as his inner thoughts remained completely unreadable.

"No, that's not right... This is not a true Xuanwu; one can only say that the shell beneath him was once a part of a Xuanwu!" After studying it for a short while, the Tree Ancestor crone spoke up.

Lu Haodong was discussing confidential intelligence sent back by Chen Bao's team in the South China Sea with his veteran core ministers and the founders of the Psychic Association.

Seeing this, Liang Yu's gaze flashed as his figure moved, leaving behind nothing more than a blurred afterimage of an impending action. In the blink of an eye, his five fingers were already spread wide, viciously clawing toward Zheng Su's throat.

Every time he came, he used this trick to slip away. He never stayed with them for too long; twenty minutes was the absolute limit of his endurance.

At this moment, Hu Ao's speed had reached its absolute limit, rendering him completely invisible to Rongrong and the others—even his shadow could not be seen, and they could only faintly sense a powerful wave of energy swirling around the cauldron.

Hong Yuxue choked, never expecting Chu Tian to pinpoint the problem at a single glance. It seemed this fifth-grade alchemist was truly extraordinary. Under the piercing gaze of Chu Tian's eyes, she could only nod.

Jiang辰 (Jiang Chen) was still young back then, wholly focused on playing games while worrying that some mishap might befall his wealthy patron, so he would occasionally drop by the internet cafe to check on things.

Passing through the illusion array, the scene inside shocked Kang Mang'ang immensely, proving even more mind-boggling than when he first entered the "dog kennel."

Upon hearing this, Han Yutong nearly leaped out of her seat. Catching sight of the English teacher frowning at the table, she could only offer a sheepish smile.

When he saw that the person before him was actually Chen Yang, Uncle Bao's face instantly bloomed with a brilliant smile.

Shielding the other party from the Astral Origin Beast, Li Yang's pressure instantly doubled. Hearing the question, he offered a brief reply.

When Lu Ping caught sight of Lü Shiang's expression, a strange feeling washed over him. Lü Shiang had spoken very little from beginning to end, and facing Li Tian's arrogant and threatening words, he ought to have been angry. Yet unexpectedly, he remained remarkably calm, and illuminated by the candlelight, a faint smile flickered across his face.

The further along, the more arduous it became. Hai Ping felt that every subsequent step harbored crisis, and a moment of carelessness would result in all previous efforts being wasted. Without absolute certainty, he did not dare to attempt it lightly.

Jumping down from the vehicle, Wang Chaoyang and Luo Xingyi lifted Wang Weilong's stretcher onto the "Sea King" helicopter.

Qiu Wanqian let out a stern shout. Although his palm had been grazed by the ancient sword in Xiao Tiandao's grip, Xiao Tiandao's ancient sword could no longer advance an inch further into Qiu Wanqian's palm.

Before long, Xuanyuan Sanfeng's subsequent words directly validated the thoughts of the majority.

Ruoxi cast one final glance at Bailong, slowly withdrawing her hands from his handsome and resolute face, and stood up.

The Jade Rabbit was nowhere to be seen, but Chang'e gleefully linked arms with Lin Tianyao, resembling a youth in the mortal world experiencing the stirrings of first love.

A gust of breeze drifted into the room, carrying a faint trace of wine fragrance. Qing Rang tiptoed out of the house in search of the aroma, only to discover his elder brother, Yunze, drinking alone in the courtyard.

Over the past few years, the economy had been sluggish; interest rates at CCTV had dropped, and the economic downturn was evident. The company had filed for bankruptcy, yet anyone driving a Ferrari these days undoubtedly possessed the net worth of a multi-millionaire.
