Chapter 19
"I..." A gust of wind blew across the arena, leaving only the man who had been shouting earlier trembling in fear. He wanted to flee, but catching a glimpse of Tina's icy gaze fixed upon him, he dared not move a muscle.
In the hearts of the Warriors fans, the team winning the championship was a foregone conclusion; there was not the slightest room for doubt. Even the odds offered by some sportsbooks for a Warriors title were so low that there was almost no profit to be made even if the bet hit.
Too many soldiers from the Human Alliance had lost contact, and while it was likely that most had fallen on the battlefield, there were certainly many captured by the Orcs for various reasons. Bai Feng was unsure whether it was worth sacrificing an entire province just to rescue them.
When he and Zoro ran to the arena, Jiang Li was already gone. After they told Luffy, Nami, and the others about Jiang Li, they searched the entire city but couldn't find him. By the time Pell informed them that Jiang Li had already left Alabasta, they had no idea where he had gone.
As a result, less than three days after Uesugi Kenshin left the main Uesugi army, Uesugi Kagetora, who had been appointed commander-in-chief of the 100,000-strong force, used his authority to order Goto Nobuyasu to launch a probing attack on Koshimizu Castle.
"Tashigi, that's enough. If you can't see, don't try to do these things. I'm not thirsty!" Jiang Li looked at Tashigi with a warm, gentle smile.
However, his hearing was extraordinary, and the voices of people watching the battle elsewhere reached his ears without missing a word—from loud to soft, from start to finish, they were almost entirely condemnations of Xiao Yan.
The Warriors' players all knew that Sun Dahei had overdrawn his stamina for the sake of this victory, which was why he was so exhausted that he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. The "Big Three" watched the sleeping Sun Dahei and, by tacit agreement, remained silent. Everyone sat in front of their respective lockers, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
Although worried about his master's safety, Qiu Yunjing had been instructed not to go looking for his physical body and soul, so he let the matter go. Despite his anxiety over the situation of his master, his senior brother, and the young girl, he had enough faith in his master's strength.
Xiao Hong thought this was the only way. Feeling exceptionally agitated, he waved his hand and ordered everyone to withdraw.
Moreover, these matters had weighed on the heart of the Earl of Xinyi for a long time. Carrying these secrets daily was a heavy burden, and confiding them to Qiuzi now would surely relieve some of that pressure.
The Five Wanderers also looked at Yang Xiao. It was clear they had heard Yang Xiao's shout earlier and mistakenly thought that Xu Shutao and Yang Xiao knew each other.
The young man's howling lasted only a moment. When he noticed the irregular twitching of the muscles on his arm, his mood became excited; he was the one who felt it most clearly.
Ji Yubin suddenly turned serious. With a grave expression, he walked over to her, knelt on one knee, and pulled a red velvet box from his pocket. Opening it, a large diamond ring lay inside.
"What's the rush? Look, the two aunts are back. They'll stuff you full in a moment," Murong Dan replied with a roll of her eyes.
Wandering here and there, I spotted the Xuanming Auction House. Thinking that my low-level healing pills were of no use, I figured I might as well sell them to the auction house, so I dashed over to the service desk.
Back at Lingchou Valley, Wu Yu had been prepared to abandon the idea of going down the mountain. Firstly, the purpose of this trip was to kill Qiuzi and seize his treasures; the secondary goal was to gather intelligence on the Life-Devouring Gate. If Qiuzi didn't show up, there would be no point in going to the border.
"Boss, the Cloud Ship is already like this, why still hesitate! I'm going to kill this jerk today!" Deng Kai glared at Zhuang Kun, his fists clenching and cracking. His gut told him that the scoundrel had done it on purpose.
A teeth-grinding sound of impact echoed. In the blink of an eye, the battle ended instantly. Batman landed with elegant grace, while the five evil Robins lay limp on the ground.
Huo Minrui feinted twice to break through, then flicked his wrist to pass the ball to Yun Zhou on the left wing.
Lei Zhan shouted again, and an incredibly dazzling formation appeared in his hand. This was the Nine-Dragon Thunder Array from his Kun Dragon Art. The moment the formation materialized, the green-clad man turned his gaze toward him.
This is the art of law-making; the Senate's decision satisfied the Emperor's demands without creating loopholes that other gladiators could exploit.
Ye Shao said this, released Deputy Director Liu's hand, and followed Su Su and Sun Xiaoyue. He kept looking back, waving and apologizing to Deputy Director Liu as he walked toward the exit.
"I think the power of Kunlun, the power of life, the origin of life, might be useful. Perhaps your parents will have a way," Naze said, both answering Momo and offering a hint to Cain.
Huang Tianchou, who had been busy prying at his thigh, glanced at me twice and was immediately captivated, his eyes filled with shock.
Innocent temptation, sweet torment? Should I just eat it and see?! Naze fell into deep contemplation.
Karina now envied Liu Shiya greatly, but she felt that living together with Su Yang was also a very happy thing. She believed that a wedding was merely a formality.
He had just ignited his own origin divine blood, burning it at a great cost. Furthermore, his divine soul had been struck by Lin Fei, leaving him severely injured.
Saying this, Lei Zhan picked up Ashara, tapped his feet lightly, and sprinted toward the barbarian ruins.
Suddenly, just as Zhou Xuan's thoughts were wandering, a burst of noisy clamor reached his ears.
About seven years had passed since Charlemagne and Tyr left Uldaman. Presumably, the temporary body Azadas had crafted for Tyr was complete; it was about time for Tyr to return to his companions.
Chen nodded without saying another word and turned to walk out of the courtyard. At the same time, he flicked his fingers toward Madame Wang and Cao Linlin, unblocking their pressure points.
The State of Song was not a problem at all; this time was about competing for hegemony with the Three Jins, while also showing off some muscle to states like Zheng and Wei.
Hearing Zhou Xuan's voice, Yan Ruyu finally snapped out of her daze and looked at him with a grim expression.
