Chapter 131: Annihilation

"Boom!"

On the silent, deserted street, the motorcade was thrown into chaos as several vehicles were blown to pieces right where they stood!

"Miss Chu, run!"

More than a dozen Dragon Squad martial artists rushed to the rear, shielding Chu Qingcheng as they hustled her out of the car, immediately retreating: "Report, we are under attack, requesting—"

Jian He had not eaten anything since the afternoon, and upon smelling the aroma, her stomach let out an uncooperative growl. This sound naturally did not escape Xuanyi's ears; he curled his lips slightly, pretending not to hear.

With these three teams offering complementary technical skills, they were truly like fish in water, regretting that they hadn't met sooner. By learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, they were surprised to find their collective research standards steadily rising, giving them much more confidence in the goal of redeveloping the prototype.

The plaza was enclosed by five giant pillars. At its center stood a massive, hundred-meter-tall statue of an Orcish creature—a phoenix in flight, yet it possessed a pair of human hands, clutching a cyan orb of light that emitted a faint radiance.

"What is going on!?" Lin Ai looked in astonishment at the desolate place before her, so completely different from the place in her memories that was always filled with colorful balloons and fireworks rising into the sky.

But when good game development companies are squeezed out and blacklisted, the dominant party is, of course, smug and satisfied. But what about the players?

"What's wrong?" 2B looked at Lin Ai, whose eyes were flickering with a strange light. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a sense of unease. Her intuition was correct, for in the next second, Lin Ai lunged forward, tilted 2B's chin upward, and kissed her directly.

Thinking of the cruel methods the Legion Commander used on those who failed, Nivar gnashed his fangs until they rattled, his pupils dilating in concentric circles.

As of today, I no longer feel any pain or sickness. This feeling of lightness is just like the sensation I had after the Young Master's first treatment.

Li Guo'er's change in expression did not escape Hua'er's eyes. When Li Guo'er's face darkened with fury, Hua'er truly wanted to take the cloth balls out of her ears to hear what was going on.

After all, since it was their first meeting as allies, there was no harm in revealing their identities to avoid any misunderstandings that might lead to unnecessary trouble.

Long Xing had no desire to look back; he turned and searched for his father, mother, Chu Qi, and Xiao Shuang.

According to Dongfang Qingyue, her master, the Sword Lord, would arrive in Jiangcheng today, and as a disciple, she naturally had to wait there to receive them.

Speaking of this, Shui Shaoyun looked at Luo Xinghan with anticipation, waiting for an answer. Luo Xinghan sat quietly in his chair, his eyes filled with contemplation. He picked up his teacup several times as if to drink, only to slowly set it back down; clearly, he was quite hesitant.

Here, Zhao Xian specifically used the term "great clan," implying that while the Xie family might eventually become an official household, they would never again be what they once were: a centuries- or even millennia-old aristocratic family of great scholars and celebrities, indifferent to the rise and fall of dynasties.

As the voice sounded, a blueprint slowly appeared on the screen, with a hand drawing the corresponding content in time with the narration, introducing the Imperial Star.

The man wore a smile, spat out a single word, and then his figure rapidly faded. The ripple vanished the moment before it made contact with the "star."

This was the Disease-Clearing Pill refined by Zhao Qingyue, a one-star elixir. For common illnesses, a single dose was all it took to recover.

"...And that is how it is." Old Fan finished his brilliant speech, and Shan Gao looked with a bitter smile at the various heroes below, who were all stunned into silence.

White Wolf also ceased the infusion of fire elements. The flames that had erupted from the rune array vanished instantly, and he patiently listened to Ku'ai's explanation of the matter.
