Chapter 26

Because we have several consecutive away games coming up, including a back-to-back set.

The old man and she sighed in unison, falling silent for a moment, as if lost in some shared emotion.

Zheng Nan suddenly realized what was happening and cursed, "A diversion!" Furious, he threw a punch at the person’s face, kicked another bodyguard away with his foot, and hurried back.

This was a matter of prestige and the trust of his teammates; Ace was definitely someone who, like Kobe, could be trusted to take the final shot with absolute certainty.

Seeing that it was the last event, Kim Hyo-yeon said to Jessica Jung with a sense of reluctance.

Lu Yu felt a sting in his nose as he spoke. The faces of each of his loved ones appeared before him, and his heart was filled with lingering attachment. However, he had to bury these feelings deep within for now; he could not afford to be distracted, or there would truly be no way out.

At this moment, Old Fan also received the news. When he saw Li Qiang with his own eyes, he could not help but feel both amazed and excited. Li Qiang felt somewhat uncomfortable under his intense gaze, not understanding why the team’s doctor was looking at him that way.

Why were none of the familiar names to be seen? Was the timing wrong? Or had that butterfly flapped its wings again?

"Something’s not right; there’s something strange here." The man in black stared at the beginning of the curve, that sudden spike that lasted less than a second, yet looked glaringly out of place on the screen.

"What about a gift? I haven't prepared anything!" Zheng Nan said. He didn't object in his heart; after all, it was time to broaden his horizons, and he was curious about banquets of this nature. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to go and observe a gathering of "rich young masters."

At this moment, Shang Anyao was draped in only a thin, cicada-wing-like undergarment, her curves and contours completely exposed without any concealment.

"The fact that I am not holding you accountable for all your crimes is the final fulfillment of the relationship we’ve had for over a decade," Sun Xuefei said coldly. She walked inside without looking back, while Luo Qianqian shook her head with a sense of regret.

Sensing the eerie changes in their surroundings, Ling Xizi and the others felt terrified. The Primeval Spirit perceived their emotions and let out a roar of intimidation.

The sect leader’s token in Lu Qian’s hand was carved from a rare, fist-sized black pearl, worth at least hundreds of thousands in gold.

Then, the Heavenly Snake King waved the black halberd in his hand. With a flash of black light and a tearing sound, space split open. Their figures flashed and vanished into the rift.

Ivern looked at Chen Xi and smiled. His power remained unchanged, as the Emperor Willow had bestowed its strength upon him, and he had truly forged his own path.

If every soldier in the Vietnamese army could master such a divine skill, wouldn't their combat effectiveness increase several times over?

Shrugging his shoulders, Daoist Qingfeng looked somewhat displeased. Although there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, he did not ask any questions. People of his caliber were rare in the Cloud Mist Continent, and he was far superior to Zhou Xian, so naturally, he would not lower his status.

At this time, Ling Xizi would certainly not be foolish enough to investigate how he traveled between the Poisonous Swamp and the Demon-Slaying Town, or how he had learned the "Swift Storm Sword" technique.

"There was such a good opportunity!" Luo Ziyan suddenly kicked the object in front of him, his expression growing somewhat irritable.

"Uh..." Bao Mei did not insist. She let go and returned Ke'er to Nangong Han. The group returned to the hospital, where Nangong Han took them to Forrest's office to handle the bone marrow source. For some reason, he also brought Chenchen along. Only Du Man'ning and the orphan brought by Dr. Dong remained in the hospital ward.

She didn't want to tell him in advance. She thought that after the hypocritical banquet he had just endured, the surprise she would give him later would surely delight him.

Xue Ming sprang up from the ground. With a flash of snowy light, the hungry wolf’s claws were severed at the root. The intense pain stimulated the beast, and it used all its remaining strength to break free, but having lost two claws, it could no longer attack and collapsed to the ground, howling in a pool of its own blood.

Seeing Shen Feng bow in salute, Bai Yushang and Lu Changqing remained impassive, simultaneously pressing their palms together and bowing in return.

After being slapped twice, blood flowed from the corner of Duan Chi’s mouth. He hissed in pain, sucking in cold air.

"When he comes, tell him I’m waiting for him in the room!" After saying this, the third one limped away. Du Man'ning rubbed her aching head, feeling a sense of exhaustion.

A few days ago, his father’s official position had been inexplicably demoted, and his family’s other businesses had fallen into crisis. He felt the situation was very sudden. After investigating quietly, he realized it was Shi Zichen’s doing, and only then did he understand that his consistent help toward Su Momo had thoroughly enraged Shi Zichen.

He felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart; he had grown accustomed to the warmth of her presence when he returned home, and to seeing her smile.

***

"See you later!" Su Momo waved to Tian Tian and walked toward the dormitory. After such a long day of turmoil, she was utterly exhausted and longed to lie down and rest for a while.

Not far from the Yixin Dojo, Tang En and his group were discussing what to name the courtyard.

Yuzi made a funny face and giggled, running straight to her bedroom to watch television.

This grand and majestic posture, which commanded the reverence of mortals, was undoubtedly astonishing; Redfield was even left staring in a daze.

"What are you carrying in your hand? It looks heavy; why don't you put it down and wash up for dinner?" As Zhao Min reached out to take the black leather bag from Yu Ji, Yu Ji hurriedly turned away.

"What a terrifying monster!" He Xi exclaimed. He released three flying daggers, striking the disciple in front of him, who collapsed to the ground, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Underworld Soul-Locking Chain tightened further as the male ghost struggled violently, winding around him a few more times until he was bound securely.

The fierce ghost began to beg for mercy, but it was too late. After subduing the ghost, Zhang Xiuxiu tucked away the spirit pot and hurried back. She didn't even speak much to Xie Fangqing; it was clear that Zhang Xiuxiu had found a lead.

"Leave the small talk for after we've resolved this. The disciples of the Heaven Gate are acting very strange!" Long Ran warned.

As long as a patient is on the operating table, not even their closest relatives should disturb him; this was his responsibility toward his patients.

Die Meng’s expression was cold. Wielding a purple dagger that spat out several yards of light, she unleashed her shadow assassination technique, striking fiercely at the vital points of the giant Black Flood Dragon Emperor. She held a firm intent to kill, solely because the Dragon Emperor had insulted Qin Tian.
