Chapter 142: Destined!

After all, Chen Fan and Tang Xuan-yi were on brotherly terms.

And Tang Xuan-yi was his team captain!

Coupled with the fact that Chen Fan was the Raging Dragon, Chen Chen-guang simply didn't dare to call him "Brother Fan" anymore!

Addressing him as "Master Fan" was an absolute must!

This left Chen Fan momentarily dumbfounded, good grief.

Was that really necessary?

...

"We discovered this first. Considering we are all of the demon clan, I won't make a big fuss about it. Just return the item to us, alright?" said a guy with two horns on his head, standing at the very front.

Having lived for so long, he had never witnessed such a scene. For a moment, he thought the child in his arms had suddenly been possessed by an evil spirit.

Looking at it now through Duan Tian's explanation, combined with Tu Ben-hu's attitude at the Yang family's villa that day, everything became crystal clear.

As the voice faded, An Jian-min, supporting Elder An, pushed the door open and walked in, holding a few sheets of A4 paper.

Gao Lun and Gao Ting returned together to the Gao family residence, which was the large courtyard where they lived alongside Gao Zhan and the others.

The autumn split playoffs adopted the global ban-pick system, prohibiting the repeated use of heroes, with a peak showdown allowed in the final game.

Kaïros merely raised an eyebrow, entirely unfazed by having one of her identities exposed.

"Think about it. Based on the intelligence we currently have, do you think this kind of supernatural creature is the result of a mutation? Do you even know what its prototype is?" Bai Yu-ze stared intently into Dian Mang's eyes, asking seriously.

In less than ten minutes, everyone raised their hands one after another, and even Li Yu, who had been hesitant earlier, awkwardly raised his hand as well.

"Let me do it," Panda said at this moment, taking off the anchor-shaped necklace from its neck and shaking it in its hand.

This showed that their bond was indeed strong, yet the inability to immediately obtain the complete information made Shen Shuang-yu even more uneasy.

"Forget it, I'll cultivate another time!" Han Hao shook his head. Now was certainly not the right moment for cultivation; if he ended up severely injuring his vital energy, whether he could make it out of this ruined palace would become a complete unknown.

Following the pre-expedition rally, the ideological stance of the entire New Army began to achieve a high degree of unity, and later historians even studied this rally speech as a milestone topic.

Xiong Ba was right. Fire was different from ice; the fire element required morale and an unstoppable courage. Only the flames of the fearless and undaunted were the strongest flames, and clearly, at this moment, I was just that.

"Roar—" Airborne, Yang Qian let out a loud shout, his left hand executing a hand seal as a droplet of water jetted onto the ground, propelling his body upward by another inch, grazing past the Yaksha's spiked club.

"Overwhelming Wave Fists!" Han Hao gripped his fist with a single hand, channeling an indomitable punch force directly toward the back of Xu Fei-yu's heart.

In August of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, news came from the north that Huang Taiji had ordered Dorgon to lead a hundred thousand Qing troops to bypass the Guanning defense line and break into the hinterland of the Ming Empire from the Northern Great Wall. Emperor Chongzhen immediately summoned three major regional commanders, including Xuan Da, to reinforce the front, causing the Qing troops to retreat slightly.

Originally, they had assumed this place only held some minor cannon fodder. Even someone as powerful as City Lord Gonghu Qingxiao in their eyes was nothing more than mere grit, and the elders of the Ye family—the First and Second Elders—encountered on the Ye family's territory were even more unpresentable, which was why they had let down their guard just a little.

"Never mind, as long as they don't come out to harm people, that's fine. Let them live in peace. Did your father know that you were following him?" Hao Hong-liang asked.

"Heh, it's just a broken keyboard. Bro has plenty of money, I can just buy a new one. But you made my desk so disgusting, we can't let it go at that!" Jiang Yang said with a cold sneer.

Immediately afterward, he drew a short spear from behind him and thrust it straight into the wound created by the longsword, driving the entire short spear—hilt and all—deeply into the flesh, before withdrawing the longsword and stepping back.
