Chapter 28: Battle!

Hades? Damn, isn't this unfair? Chen Fan sharply inhaled a breath of cold air! In everything, there are limits—first and second chances, but not a third. You bring in Ares, the God of War. I can endure that. Then you introduce a dark deity like the seductive Moonlit Ling, which I can also accept. And now, lurking in the shadows is Hades?

Everyone was puzzled about Lin Tian's intentions when suddenly an eerie force enveloped the spring. The gas ignited instantly like burning fuel, filling the room with a raging fire, and the gas from the underworld spring was particularly terrifying, causing some to scream in agony. Although Amaterasu could reduce targets to ashes, Rōbu and Shuiyue were not easily convinced that their futures would end this way. After all, a future consumed by flames showed no signs of suffering.

This was the proud and familiar figure of Huangfu Qi, known to all disciples of the Demon Cult, not the twisted and irritable person consumed by hatred.

In truth, Xu Ying had intended to meet with Vice Dean Zheng to record an audio, but the latter would not see her. If she hadn’t been so busy these past few days, Zheng would not have come to her, and she wouldn’t have been able to make that recording. Qin Lin discussed in detail with everyone, assigning tasks for the next day while sending someone to comfort Prince Bayin, assuring him that General Tulan would not be overlooked.

In their recent confrontation, both had reached a stalemate. In terms of battle experience and skills, they were evenly matched; however, in strength, Hatake Kakashi was at a disadvantage, which was evident in the final strike where he appeared weaker.

She was about to shout and make a fuss, but the pain in her arm brought her back to reality. Xu Ying was squeezing her tightly, yet there was a smile on her face, giving the impression to outsiders that she was cheerfully sending her off.

The first checkpoint was manned by Cucumbers and Soybeans, while the second was guarded by Zhang Yang, Gourd, and Chestnut. Having passed these two checkpoints meant they had qualified for the preliminary selection.

"Attack!" At the command, the Leaf Village ninjas launched their assault. Explosive tags and fire release techniques followed one after another. They had come along with Xu Zian; joining the fray was one thing, but actually facing off against them was another matter altogether.

Bubu's husband had been missing for two months, and Zheng Taiyuan was the last person to see him. She had many questions for Zheng Taiyuan.

Madam Xu first glanced at Xu Yingjun, who shook his head slightly, and she realized that there was something in the milk. Her son had advised her not to drink it.

Tong Yujin raised an eyebrow at Xia Yan, who responded with a glance, and the two silently understood each other.

The guards following Tong Yujin trailed them quietly to the dock, showcasing their skills as they concealed themselves at the rear of the boat, their bodies hovering above the water, gripping the oar post.

"He still can't be cut down! After Helian Mingde left the capital, there has been no trace of him. Sooner or later, he will confront Xiao Yuanfeng," Ming Xuan's eyes darkened. Then, he suddenly lost focus, yet his body pivoted, catching the ball effortlessly before swinging his racket horizontally, sending the ball soaring back toward Natsuzuki's baseline.

Qin Xing emerged from Qin Liu's room, looked up at the moon, and wondered where Ming Xuan had gone.

"Yes, nice to meet you for the first time. I hope Sister Qiong will take care of me," Liu Xuwei smiled gently at her.

Susan watched Anthony exploring his unknown territory, feeling a slight stirring in her heart.

They dined, drank, and chatted merrily, while Huang Rong, Cheng Ying, and Guo Fu sat nearby, watching and unable to join their conversation.

She had a pair of dragon horns on her head, branching out, unmistakably indicating that she was a transformed dragon.
