Chapter 26

It was only after she reached the shore and collapsed that she noticed the large pool of blood spreading on the ground beside her head, and the realization finally hit her.

"So, what’s it going to be? Will you let me go, or should I take her down with me?" Li Chuan asked with a rogue’s grin, as if he were certain Xiao Yan would compromise.

Unexpectedly, once the stinging heat in Wen Ruochu’s mouth subsided, she decided not to let anything go to waste and picked up her bowl and chopsticks to continue eating.

Ruan Zhicheng’s mind was clouded by alcohol. In his hazy state, seeing Jiang Pan’er doing everything herself, he was inexplicably struck by the delusion that she was Ruan Youning.

Gu Jin agreed, and with steady, unhurried precision, he began to explain the fundamental theories. Qin Yao didn't really want to listen, but she patiently hummed along.

Song Suihuan was bewildered when she received the call. Seeing the address Gu Jin had sent—which was not the villa where she lived—she replied, "I’m busy," meaning she had no time to spare.

Every mercenary legion in Dragon Valley seemed to have evaporated into thin air. Even their lair on Rilong Island in the Wada Sea was deathly silent. The legions had vanished, leaving not a single weapon or piece of ammunition behind, save for a hollowed-out, empty factory.

We walked for a while longer until a cliff face blocked our path, forcing us to choose between two diverging roads.

Back then, the matter of Wang Aiwu had been masterminded by Chen Wentian; it would be quite easy for him to leak some information now.

This time, under the watchful eyes of the Imperial Guard, Lin Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet, mount his horse, and give chase.

"That is correct." Even though Lin Feng was astonished, he replied with a calm, indifferent expression.

Zhang Ze listened to Yan Zhi’s explanation attentively, sat down to drink a cup of tea made from tea dust, and then asked to see the new house Yan Zhi had built before departing with a smile.

In the past, Jing Xing had often thought about how, in the end, he would leave with dignity, refusing to suffer a life of indignity in this world.

Even when the water flow was severed by the dimensional rift, it remained unharmed, slowly coalescing into a human form once it reached the temple gates.

The soldiers gathered in a circle, watching their general duel, while Lin Feng’s cavalry stood motionless, observing their commander clash with the opposing general.

"Rou’er, are you afraid?" Qing Wushang lowered his gaze, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply like a trapped tiger, ready to seize any opportunity to escape.

Lu Ming shook his long spear, sending several bursts of spear light erupting outward. Moments later, those young men were left behind on the battle platform forever.

Zhou Wei had been standing nearby the whole time Lin Hao and his companions were eating, and no one had paid him any mind. Lin Hao hadn't intended to mistreat him; keeping him confined was merely to help him overcome his addiction.

Although Xiao Yuan believed that a team's spirit had to be forged through match after match rather than simply summoned at will, he thought the external stimulus suggested by Heng Dao Yi Jian was worth a try. Moreover, he was more concerned with Heng Dao Yi Jian’s final remark about bringing Li You back to the team.

Clapping her hands, Yu Jinxiu finished off the two malignant tumors, walked back into the house, gripped her Nether Dagger, and tucked it into her waistband.

"It’s you again!" One of the zombies, radiating supreme majesty, looked down upon Jiang Dong and his companions like a king.

The NBA has never lacked examples of the weak overcoming the strong. Every season, there are always a few powerhouse teams that simply cannot beat the weaker ones. The weak are not truly weak, and the strong are not truly strong—this is precisely what makes the NBA so compelling.

Last year, Yi Yang turned down the mayor’s invitation to spend time with his family. This year, the mayor specifically instructed Yi Yang not to leave and to bring his family along.

Su Xiangwan stood by waiting. Zhou Youwei emerged wearing a nude-colored gown; noticing Su Xiangwan, she paused for a brief second before withdrawing her gaze and walking toward a pre-set scene.

Gong Xiangqin and Yao Wenwen arrived at the photo studio by car. Before they had even stepped out, Yao Wenwen was already shouting with excitement, happy as a child, grabbing Gong Xiangqin’s arm and pointing outside while chattering incessantly.

Shi Nuan felt a headache coming on and leaned back on a lounge chair to rest. Seeing this, her colleagues asked with concern if something was wrong.

Titan had already used his Teleport to return to his lane, preventing Mu Jing from widening the experience gap too much, so he was barely keeping up in levels. But if he were sent home again now, he would undoubtedly be finished.

Listening to her tone—calm yet filled with firmness and composure—Mo Hengjun curled his lips and smiled to himself.

Father Zhang grinned, turned his head to look at Gong Xiangqin and Fu Jiani, and nodded with a smile.

"Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, Tie Yi, Ye Feng, come here," Tie Junyi said, addressing the back mountain. He had sensed their positions the moment he arrived.

Seeing this fellow escape so decisively just as he was about to break free, Mo Shu felt a surge of panic. He immediately swapped his Fire-Tipped Spear for his divine iron chain, throwing the last of his strength into the strike, hoping to bind his opponent.

The room was in disarray, littered with cigarette butts. Zhan Lin massaged his throbbing temples with his right hand, forcing himself to face the truth.

"It’s nothing, just went for a walk." Ling Wei was exhausted and didn't want to say more. However, to ease Huangfu Yao’s concerns, she managed a faint smile.

"I must admit, your ruthlessness, your treachery, and your cunning are impressive. But today, you committed the greatest act of stupidity. If this were a fine blade, it would never have been left untouched in a house for decades. It is merely heavy; it seems to possess no other remarkable qualities." Tie Junyi shook his head and laughed.
