Chapter 40

The five of them had been caught up in the heat of their battle, and it would have been a disaster had they been ambushed at such a moment.

Setting aside the sheer amount of physical talent required for the Eight Inner Gates, the knowledge of the body's meridians and the precise locations of the eight gates should technically fall under the domain of medical ninja.

Leng Lie maintained a composed expression, his body as steady as a mountain. With a fluid motion, the tea he had splashed out returned to the cup without a single drop being lost.

Chen Feng had never truly considered this issue. He had always believed that as long as he continued to cultivate his internal energy, he would eventually achieve a breakthrough. He had overlooked, however, the fact that some people spend their entire lives without ever managing to break through their limits.

Picking up a wine bottle nearby, Kakashi produced a cup from somewhere, filled it to the brim, and downed it in one breath.

"Did you untie her?" Qi Feng turned around and sat on his bed with a bold, imposing air. With a stern face and a buzz cut, he looked every bit the neighborhood gang leader as he questioned them with a self-righteous tone.

If anything had happened to Guo Man during the previous incident, Guo Fanghua would certainly have made Hong Kong tremble.

At that moment, Itachi, lying on the bed, opened his eyes. Looking at the two familiar faces before him, he knew that the plan to escape had succeeded.

Seeing the lethargic state Wei was currently displaying, many nations began to feel that after the joint strikes by Chu and Wu, Wei had suffered a grievous blow and was no longer capable of fighting.

Upon learning that this five-thousand-point contribution reward was the result of Ye Buxiu's wager, the crowd on the scene was filled with excitement.

I do not know how much time had passed, but suddenly, Jing Jian felt someone standing beside him. He looked up to see a middle-aged man in a jacket, frowning and pondering something intently.

"Also, treat my brother Mars well. Try to let him live a 'splendid' life. And those two followers—they are rare, courageous warriors," Omar added with sudden concern.

He also obtained the jade pendant that only the leader of the national special operations unit, the Dragon Group, is entitled to wear. This pendant, known as the Dragon Jade, is rumored to have been crafted from the jade of the imperial seal used by the emperors of the Song Dynasty. It is said to possess some sort of mysterious power.

There was one more crucial point: regarding the fact that the Demon King still needed to absorb the spiritual energy of others, Long Tian had a hunch that this Demon King had not yet returned to his previous state. Otherwise, he would have no need to drain the spiritual energy of these people.

"Hey, open the door!" A knocking sound suddenly rang out, followed by Winona's dissatisfied voice.

Fairy Xiao wished she could find a piece of tofu to bang her head against. Why hadn't she listened? Why had she moved around? If she hadn't moved, would she have returned to the modern world? Being crushed by a quilt was highly unscientific; at most, she should have just fainted. Could she be in a hospital now, with her soul only visiting temporarily? Perhaps she could return once she reached the West.

I had thought Lin Tong was really going to teach me how to swim, but as soon as I got into the water, she gave up.

When Lin Jingxue heard my question, her face turned pale instantly. Anyone with eyes could see that I had hit the nail on the head.

"Evidence? I don't need evidence. I just want revenge... This is divine justice!" Su Su's emotions were clearly running high.

"Think about it, everyone—in the battle just now, who suffered the lightest injuries?" Zhang Tianyang asked, keeping the rhythm of the conversation under his control.

Xu Xian's voice rang out, answering Ning Ye's question without hiding his thoughts in the slightest. His meaning was clear: he believed that the medical path was also a way to establish oneself in the world, not just through brute strength.

Most of the people who came were He Lingxiu's relatives. In the center of the mourning hall sat a coffin, containing none other than the remains of He Lingxiu.

When Long Seventeen heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that something was terribly wrong. Just as he was about to open the door to the interrogation room, the door opened from the inside, and Long Xuan, covered in blood, walked out.

Before Macbeth could answer, he saw the warhorse of Clodius take a few steps forward.

The architecture of this sacrificial city looked so familiar. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen this layout somewhere before. However, apart from Zhenxun, the only other ancient city he had seen was in an illusion. Other than that, Xing Jie had never seen any others, so why did he have such a strange feeling?

Ayrton Senna was a racer who "died in battle" on the track. It was only later that Schumacher took over the title of the racing god.

Zhu Zhiyu was flying toward Pakistan. His vacation had ended, and an emergency had broken out in Pakistan: two Jiuyou people had been kidnapped there by local terrorists. To the Pakistani government, kidnapping locals was of little consequence, but kidnapping Jiuyou people was a matter of great importance.

With a vote of five to four, Duan Zhetao officially became a member of the Gulin County Standing Committee and Vice County Magistrate. Once the organizational procedures were completed, he could officially take office.

However, more people would feel a sense of joy; in a certain sense, this was an honor.

Hawk-Eye paid no attention to Long Sixteen, who was glaring at him with dissatisfaction. He kept his gaze fixed on Long Xuan, his tone filled with provocation. "I have long heard of the 'Nine-Tailed Fox's' reputation. I'd like to test it out today, wouldn't I?" Judging by his posture, it seemed he wouldn't leave easily unless Long Xuan accepted.

"Don't make a scene, we're here, we're here!" Jiang Youxi quickly changed the subject upon seeing this. Lin Tian realized then that the two of them had arrived at the ice cream shop.

"Hmph, finally come to your senses?" The man gave a cold snort, still feeling quite disgruntled by Meng Wanyin's earlier kick.

Since Meng Wanyin was so determined, he could tell her everything; it might put her at ease. He had always wanted to keep her away from these treacherous schemes.

Qian Yan lifted her eyelids and cast a glance at him. Zuo Gang realized he had spoken out of turn, and his dark face was stained with a hint of embarrassment.

Her true intention was to deliberately avoid Yue Jiangcheng. Since arriving in France this time, Meng Wanyin felt that their relationship had grown much closer, which caused her some panic.

Duan Chuyi's brows knit slightly, his face as cold as frost. The gloom in his heart was a brewing anger, but he did not let it show, merely taking a calm sip of the tea in his hand.

"Once she is reduced to an ordinary palace consort, her name forgotten by the outside world, whether the Emperor kills her or punishes her, who would cry injustice for her?"

"My brother is at J University, just not in this department. I came by to see you, but you wouldn't come down. That's very impolite, you know." Lu Zhuo looked up at Lin Tian. Lin Tian moped his way down, only to find there were no chairs left.
