Peter's attack on Evelyn's shoulder was like a calculated strike from a dragon's claw, his intention clear: hurl her deep into the room's shadows.

Evelyn, not one to be outdone, channeled her vital energy with lightning speed, executing a move called Tai Chi Shake. Peter's assaulting force became but a conduit, flowing through her body and dissipating into the very core of the earth beneath her feet.

The maneuver was nothing short of brilliance, morphing Evelyn's body into a sleek, eel-like fluidity. Peter's dragon claw, touted as the apex of grappling techniques, slid off her shoulder like a bead of water, his hand repelled by an unexpected surge of power emanating from Evelyn.

As the abruptness left him reeling, the disoriented state worsened as Evelyn's lightning-swift retaliation landed on his face another two resounding Big Slaps that left Peter seeing stars. Those blows were like throwing oil onto the flames of his already escalating rage.

"I'll end you, you wench!" he roared, c

It defied reason. Yet, a glimmer of hope ignited within Evelyn. With a resounding cry, she exclaimed,"Save me!"Little did they know, in the adjacent room 309, Edward had eavesdropped on the exchange between Evelyn and the scoundrels Benson and Peter. He had honed his hearing to a supernatural level through relentless practice, and now, even the fall of a pin a mile away would be as clear as day."What's this security sweep nonsense?"

Get out of here instantly!"However, Edward paid him no mind, instead pointing to Evelyn on the floor and demanding of Pe

Despite not towering over Evelyn, Zoe possessed a charm of her own, especially with a figure sculpted as if by the hands of a gym artist."Yep, Evelyn, you have no clue the levels of anxiety you've put us through. We were brainstorming abduction scenarios and everything. So, how'd it go? Did you snag that leading lady role?" injected another roommate, Linda.Her speech was a rhythmic dance as her twin braids swayed in tandem as if in sync with her bubbly persona, creating an endearing sight.Her expression transformed, lips pursed, eyes widened as if awaiting a juicy secret."I'm itching for the deeds!" she exclaimed."I apologize for p

Cozying up at home with you to watch TV is like finding the lost chord of happiness.""Alright, the baton is in your hand," Edward quipped, a gentle smile teasing his lips. "You've got some real magic up your sleeve, Lily."With the cue taken, Edward chauffeured Lily to the neon-lit fast-food joint they'd caught sight of through the car window. In a minute, Edward and Lily came out of it with a bundle of burgers."It looks like we didn’t buy any coke," Lily arched an eyebrow, a note of regret in her tone."No worries, we've got plenty

The melody of the music wove through the air, intermingling with joyous laughter and merriment.Edward found himself amidst a bustling throng, a sea of young souls swaying and twirling, liberating torrents of hormones. He couldn't help but be swept up by the contagious atmosphere, surrendering to the music's embrace and grooving gently.In the midst of this, a light tap on his shoulder interrupted him. Edward turned, eyes widening in pleasant surprise as he saw it was Ray.

    The grand hall was a cauldron of animated chatter, unleashing waves of excitement that reached towering heights."Look at that greenhorn, he doesn't even know which way the wind blows. Our president's kid, that blond-haired lad, not only has blue blood coursing through his veins but also grew up amidst stacks of bills. His mum's a billionaire, for crying out loud. The entire school's tough guys wouldn't dare ruffle a single hair on his head. I reckon the newbie is in for a major embarrassment.""But who's to say the newbie's the one in for trouble? It might just be the other way around.""Can't say for sure. This new bloke seems to have some tricks up his sleeve. If he manages to put that cocky lad in his place, that would be a showstopper.

His every move was precise, dance steps flowing with the grace of a seasoned master. Suddenly, Daniel decelerated, his body flowing like liquid. The arch of his back was soft and seamless, as if propelled by some enigmatic force. Then, in a swift motion, he pressed his body to the floor, executing a roll - a move of impressive complexity. The audience watched in rapturous awe, emitting sporadic bursts of cheers. “He’s truly living up to the title of our school's hip-hop dance king." From within the crowd, some girls joined in the chorus, "I adore you, hip-hop prince!"

    Since Edward had previously taken the pill of Roaring Thunder, which could help him cultivate in the lightning. Seeing that his blue lightning would soon hit Edward, Promete smiled. It was true that most people would be dead if they were attacked by powerful lighting. However, he did not know that Edward was immune to lightning attack now. On the contrary, Edward could even absorb the last bit of power from any lightning. Instantly, the lightning wound itself around the body of Edward. “Ha-ha, go to hell,” shouted Promete, who thought he was an unparalleled genius. “You’re getting too above yourself!” Edward smiled, who started to play with the lightning as if he was a magician. Edward toyed with the crackling lightning ensnaring him, as though it were a cherished bauble in his grasp. Promete, wide-eyed and dumbfounded, couldn't fathom how his electrifying assault had utterly failed against Edward. "How on earth are you able to do that?" Promete's jaw threatened to kiss the grou

    Chapter 153 Lightning Strike

    As night descended, the winds began to stir, fueling the twin-headed fire dragon flames, making them burn even more intensely. They blazed brilliantly, as if they intended to incinerate the darkness in an instant. But the most crucial aim was to annihilate their enigmatic adversary, the one they believed had met his match in these mystical, fiery behemoths. Regina and Pugno were convinced that the dual-headed dragon, born from the transformation of their twin swords, held the power to vanquish their foe. However, Edward knew that their opponent's combat capabilities far surpassed their own. Their audacious move seemed like a proverbial case of bringing a knife to a gunfight. So,Edward understood the necessity of intervening when needed. The muscular figure, bare-chested and built like a tank, proved to be far from a pushover. He moved with lightning-like speed, nimbly weaving through the fire and seemingly unaffected by the intense flames, which reached temperatures soaring into the

    “OK, let’s go and destroy this evil Gluttony Hell!” said Edward. Just as Edward, Regina, Pugno and his men from Blood Sword Sect walked only for a few minutes, they were stopped by a bunch of strong men in black, who marched like columns of mechanical men, their eyes straight ahead, their legs and arms swinging almost in unison, like those marionettes under the control of a single pair of invisible hands. It looked like they were trained rigorously. “Who are you?” shouted Edward. “Who are we?” sneered one of the men with a crew cut in the lead of the people, who was stocky---not heavy but well-muscled, with strong arms and thighs. His eyes, short and narrow like small cracks in a huge wall, glinted with slyness. He made no effort to be gentle, elbowing his men as he forced his way to Edward. The stocky man suddenly untied his coat and showed the T-shirt inside it which read ‘I’m an evil guy’. Pointing at his T-shirt, he added with another sneer, “Look at this! You are unlucky to

    Naturally, Regina closed her eyes, decided to let Edward do anything to her. Edward leaned close enough until he could even hear the beatings of her heart. Glancing at her ample part of her generous bosom, Edward felt blood started to rush both to his heart and the most private part of his body under the equator, just like a cannon erecting up to the sky, ready to send bombs at any moment. Yet, Edward knew he had to contain his excitement as he had promised his girlfriend that he would restrain himself and wouldn’t do anything that would harm their relationship. Thus, though drooling over the beauty of Regina, Edward just swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then calmed himself down. “Well, open your eyes, Regina,” Edward said with an awkward smile, ‘Actually, I’ve got a girlfriend and I love her very much. I won’t do anything that would harm my relationship with her. Besides, you know, I was saving you not because I wanted to get something from you. I’ve told you, you’re a free will

    Instantly, there was another huge explosion when celestial ice arrows met those fiery swords halfway. Edward, handsome and unstrained, exuding an aura of confidence, became more overbearing with every step toward Regina. “Hey, what do you think of my counterattack?” sneered Edward. “What kind of other moves do you have? Show me more!” Hearing that, Regina was almost hitting the roof. Before she could launch another round of attacks, Edward swiftly maneuvered behind her and lightly flicked her head, causing her coiffed hair to quickly come undone. Now, with her unbound tresses streaming over her shoulders, she was indeed an unparalleled beauty. “What are you doing?” seethed Regina, glaring at Edward. “You’re acting like a lascivious bastard. Apparently, you’re courting your own death.” Yet, Edward, a vibrant youth with unparalleled manliness, immediately flirted, “I like to fight with a beautiful girl. I have to say if you’re not my foe, I probably will fall in love with you. I

    Edward reached out his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a chill ran down his spine as the Celestial Gem soared right into his waiting chest. Yet, the extraordinary unfolded before his very eyes. Edward felt an overwhelming surge of power coursing through his veins, a sensation like no other. In an instant, his entire body turned translucent, akin to the purest glass. Edward experienced an unprecedented blessing that could only be attributed to the Celestial Gem. Was this the fabled "light at the end of the tunnel" that he'd heard whispers of? His heart raced as he involuntarily assumed a lotus position, eyes shut tight. Darkness was only thing he could see in his shut eyes, but the energy emanating from the pearl illuminated the abyss inside his eyes, bathing everything in a radiant glow. "Could this be what they mean by 'seeing the light'?" Edward mused silently. "It's simply marvelous." Before long, a comforting warmth enveloped his entire being, like snuggling under a cozy win

    "Ah..." Caelum's body plummeted rapidly, and he felt his demise was all but certain this time. The cliff was unbelievably high, a mind-boggling abyss that seemed to stretch at least five kilometers deep. He closed his eyes, surrendering to the howling winds swirling past him. The gusts stung his face, and although the wind kissed his cheeks, it cut deeper than a knife into his heart. Suddenly, Edward's voice echoed in his ears. "Rest assured, I won't let you go down that easily. Since you killed Laura with no remorse, I'll torment you in every conceivable way, time and time again." Edward's voice was as cold as ice. It looked like Caelum was getting his just desserts. Caelum opened his eyes to find Edward hurtling down the cliff right alongside him. It offered some small comfort – if he were to meet his end, at least he'd have some company. "You're a devil, Edward. If you'd choose to end your life this way, why torment me like this?" Caelum exclaimed in fury. "Me?" Edward sneer

Yet, if you take this pill’ Roaring Thunder,’ it will make you immune to lightning and thunderous attack.
