Volume 1, Chapter 52: The Attack

Li Zhian grasped the polo mallet, vaulted onto his horse in a single, fluid motion, and struck a dashing, heroic pose. This immediately drew screams of excitement from the surrounding noble maidens of the capital, causing the crowd to instantly erupt into a frenzy.

Yan Shengyu remarked from the side, "Although I think my brother is quite handsome, compared to the Grandmaster, he still lacks a certain unique charm."

Cheng Xi thought to herself that Li Zhian was indeed exceptionally handsome; otherwise, she wouldn't have teasingly spoken out that day, only to end up falling right into his trap.

On the other side, Yan Yu also leaped gracefully onto his horse, crowned in gold with dark hair and a jade belt around his waist, which likewise drew numerous cheers.

The whistle blew, and the teams surged forward from both sides. Li Zhian took the lead, raising his mallet to hook the ball high into the air...

As soon as these words were spoken, even the most discerning observers could tell that Jun Mochen was already furious. Right now, the mighty were bullying the weak, and Anyang had already fallen. Great Ling was also drifting precariously in the storm. If Jun Mochen were to fly into a rage and order an attack on the Ling forces, how could they possibly hope to resist?

I let out a sigh of relief, yet remained baffled as to why Jun Yuxuan would be willing to help me. It was simply a case of a desperate person turning to any doctor, though I truly never expected him to actually lend a hand.

Qingyou also stopped joking with Hua Chong, putting away his previous teasing demeanor as his expression turned somewhat more serious.

Following the wars of conquest that subjugated the Great Sun Demon Empire and the Heavenly Rain Empire, the vast territories belonging to Xia Fan began yet another round of integration, and a nation was officially established.

However, the Thirteenth Prince was Xia Fan's junior brother, and having not accompanied Xia Fan on his various campaigns in the beginning, he could not act without reservations now. Especially since he was a prince of the Great Han Dynasty, if he were to stir up any trouble, he might well be suspected of harboring ulterior motives.

Days passed by one after another. The tally marks left with fingernails on the headboard already numbered seventeen. Gu Qi had figured out the layout of the asylum, knowing where the wards were, where the nurses stayed, and where the doctors' offices were located.

As her voice trailed off, Xia Lan picked up the medical record book and walked out of Examination Room No. 3. Passing by a trash can, she casually tossed the record inside.

Accompanied by the roaring sound of water, we slept soundly until the afternoon. Feeling our strength fully restored, we packed our gear and prepared to enter the water. Since the闷油瓶 (Quiet-Bottle) and Old Hu both had injuries, Fatty and I went into the water first to scout the exact location.

Judging by the standards of a seasoned actor, faking amnesia was not a difficult task, but I didn't think the Quiet-Bottle was such a boring person.

Although the wounds had already scabbed over and the dead skin had peeled away, he could still see the pale purple scars left on her palms and knees.

Therefore, Shen Jingbin's cleaving strike, delivered from overhead with the force of splitting Mount Hua, would cause anyone receiving it to instantly stiffen up, showing just how fiercely determined Shen Jingbin was to take Chai Hua's life this time.

At this moment, he felt a certain dissatisfaction in his heart toward County Magistrate Wu Junhao. For he knew very well that the reason Guan Zhifeng directly issued instructions to them was because the true mastermind behind those orders was none other than the county magistrate, Wu Junhao.

Within this rebuilding, vulnerable team, even if Love was not a starter, his playing time was still quite substantial.

Sun Jiaojiao was well aware of Yi Feng's formidable capabilities, and upon Yi Feng's return this time, she had already heard quite a few rumors about him.

The screens of both cell phones lit up simultaneously, clearly displaying the balance on the card and the transferred amount.

Old Zhang directed the vehicles while chatting with Chai Hua, introducing the rules regarding hotel security and parking lot regulations. Naturally, he focused on the important points—those tied to deductions from wages and bonuses. Chai Hua roughly memorized them, which gave him a basic understanding of the parking lot's rules.

The Dean of South Spirit Academy wore a dark expression. No wonder Lan Mengyao didn't want to fight and kept questioning him repeatedly! If he let Lan Mengyao go out like this, was the championship trophy going to be handed over to East Xuan Academy on a silver platter?

After a slick and fluid sequence of dribbling, Paul suddenly burst forward, executing a spin followed by a behind-the-back dribble to evade Chen Mo's long arms and drive straight to the basket.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Blood Phoenix jerked its head, its sharp blade slicing across the Blood Dog's jugular artery as a spray of fresh blood splattered the Blood Phoenix's face.

Chen Li raised his hand and cast an Apocalypse Divine Spell upon himself, instantly healing the injuries all over his body.

Only in his heart, a strange feeling inexplicably lingered. Ever since Yuan Qingqing woke up after falling into the well, these bizarre sensations had been cropping up more and more frequently, leaving even him clueless as to what was truly going on.

A light purple princess dress perfectly showcased those two fair and slender legs.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault," Pei Jingwen said somewhat shyly upon hearing Ren's words.

The Jade Void Sacred Land was nestled in the eastern section of the million-li-long Kunlun Mountains at the border between the human and demon domains. Shrouded in mist year-round, its scenery was as picturesque as a dreamlike fairyland.

After all, Zhao Long was far too young, looking not much older than him at most. Could someone of such an age truly be a Dark Realm master?

Shen Nian said as he glared fiercely at Tang Li. Tang Li felt a jolt in his heart from the glare, and his expression instantly sank.

This was the only dock in the town. Travelers by water came ashore or boarded ships here, and waterborne cargo was loaded and unloaded at this very pier, making it bustling and busy.

"Even now... I might still not be able to defeat that monster..." At this, Bone Overlord was filled with despair.

"Brother Li, how could you not kill him! That bastard actually dared to speak ill of you." Ye Feng was still indignant over Ye Qintian's previous words.

Of course, Wu Laoxie approached Jiao Meng because his actions suggested that Jiao Meng should be a man who understood current affairs. However, understanding current affairs was one thing; whether that was a trait Yan and Qi needed remained to be seen.

"That's why I miss it!" Li Tian said indifferently. A year of prison life had not caused him to be cast aside by the times; instead, he had come to understand many things he usually wouldn't have, and perfume was one of them.

"Hey! How can you taste the true wonder of it drinking this way? You haven't been seen for so many days, where did you go?" Ignoring Han Jun's question, Zhu Peijiang asked with a smile, while Yang Yihe remained silent with a gentle smile.

"Hehe, Brother Li's moniker in the underworld is none other than the 'Death-Dealing Saber'. Tonight, I truly hope to witness a saber-king duel between 'Death-Dealing Saber' Li Gang and 'Cleaver' Hong Ming," Zhang Weiyong said.

Her figure was prominently displayed, all in vain for these men to gaze upon. Overcome with shame and anger, her killing intent soared! Within a radius of dozens of meters, everyone felt the surrounding air suddenly drop in temperature, their hairs standing on end—the unmistakable sensation of impending danger.

"She said she has a lame leg now and isn't worthy of me!" Li Tian recounted to Zhou Min what Xu Yang had said to him earlier today.

"Who betrayed us?" Li Ningguang's gaze swept across everyone, finally landing on Zhang Guodong as well.

"He is one of the masterminds behind the murder of Xiao Tian. His name is Chen Si, and he is the son of Chen Qi, the former leader of the Ten Gangs Alliance. I spared his life back then, but I never expected him to come looking for revenge today. Heh. As for his head, I fed it to the wild dogs." Tang Yuwang remained completely calm and composed as he spoke indifferently.
