Chapter 57: He Possesses Medical Skills
The two exchanged a glance, brows furrowing as tension instantly tightened their nerves. Rising, they stepped out of the lotus pond.
The maid approaching them stopped abruptly, startled by their drenched appearance. “Your Highness Ye Wang, Miss Sheng… did she fall into the lotus pond?”
Sheng Yunqing ignored the question and turned to the maid. “What happened? Has someone been poisoned?”
The maid snapped back to attention, panic evident in her voice. “It’s the young master. After taking a sip of the wine, he willingly took on the task of caring for someone’s wife. Hu Qiang was more than happy to do it. As for the child, it’s fine to send them to the orphanage later. This is a truly enviable assignment—most people wouldn’t get such an opportunity. Unexpectedly, today presents such a good chance. He really hopes that fat man acts rashly and does something foolish.”
Mang Ertai observed for a moment and gave a slight nod. It was clear that this Ming army squad was indeed a group of fierce and elite soldiers. Only because his own forces outnumbered them could they hope to overcome them. This also proved that a significant figure was present here, for otherwise such elite troops would not have been deployed for protection.
Hu Qiang silently nodded, then his stomach rumbled embarrassingly. He awkwardly rubbed his belly. Zhong Tongtong smiled and stood up, saying something.
The man surnamed Tang and Guo Rui were still resting in the cave, gravely wounded and unfit to descend the mountain at this time.
“This is no mere test of skill—those two dared to enter Lingyun Cave; they’re simply courting death!” The fiery qilin suddenly emitted a fierce aura. Nie Shao was startled; at this moment, the martial god’s presence erupted, pressing down on them all.
For those with cultivations like Xing Chen and Jian Li, the hail of boulders posed no threat within ten meters. But for the two thousand Brotherhood mages present, this barrage was a terrifying assault. Moreover, the terrain here was unsuitable for leaping or dodging.
Nevertheless, much information still spread to the public through connected text messages and overseas websites.
Facing any of the ten great demons with only 180 men was an utterly reckless act, bordering on madness. Even the strongest elite mages of the Ranger Brotherhood would not dare such audacity.
Because all they said was nonsense, filled with empty praise, never truly explaining what made Zhang Yifan’s tactics so skillful.
The specter no longer held back, nor did it attempt to control Lu Aoya. The soul-capturing sword shot out swiftly. Surrounded on three sides, Lu Aoya was overwhelmed, pierced repeatedly by the sword until blood soaked the flowers and grass, finally collapsing.
His body tumbled like a boulder from a mountain peak, crashing with unstoppable force into the trio of black thunderbolts.
Zhang Shujie believed Zheng Zhi should not have retreated so deeply. In this match, Zheng Zhi played as an attacking midfielder. With the Japanese team not fully pressing forward, there was no need for him to drop back like a defensive midfielder near the penalty area. He needed to connect the midfield and attack.
The ball was behind Zhang Shujie and in front of Montolivo. If Zhang wanted to shoot, he would have to turn his back to the goal; if Montolivo wanted to shoot, he would have to take several steps forward. In the penalty area, the Napoli defenders would never allow him to advance so freely to receive the ball.
Upon hearing this, Tong Yan couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He truly hadn’t expected the rebels to strike ahead of time.
As for the uncle who inherited his father’s status and position in Koka, Hoshiko Rokkaku’s impression was faint. In the past ten years, she had met him only a handful of times.
These soldiers were obstructive. To deal with the five men in black, they all gathered from other sections of the city wall, leaving some areas unguarded. If the enemy scaled the walls through these gaps, the entire situation would spiral out of control.
