Chapter 60: Showdown

Ever since their parting on the night of the Lantern Festival, Cui Xingze and Cui Xuan had never met again. This long-overdue reunion felt as though it spanned across lifetimes.

They won the match, and two consecutive rounds of eight-win streaks made them the only team in the playoffs thus far that had yet to suffer a formal defeat.

Lineup 1: Goalkeeper Szczesny, defenders Sagna, Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Gibbs, midfielders Cazorla, Wilshere, Song, forwards Walcott, van Persie, and Jin Yuan. This was essentially the starting XI from last season, with the sole exception of Gibbs.

If Manchester United were to lose this match, it wouldn't simply mean losing the league title; being swept in the season series by their arch-rivals Arsenal was something Manchester United fans found utterly unacceptable, especially in a match of such immense importance.

Li Kuafu said nothing. Was this what they called the underworld? What surprised him the most was Lin Canglan's parting remark about laying down one's life for a brother. At the mention of brothers, the honest, simple-minded face of Xing Tian immediately flashed through Li Kuafu's mind.

Suddenly, without any warning, the exact words Li Kuafu had spoken to Xiao Wuyin when they first met in this very space echoed once again in Xiao Wuyin's ears.

That radiant, brilliant sword—a sword that, though unable to cast a dazzling glare, could completely rivet your gaze upon itself; a sword that isolated everything around it into darkness.

Superior officers turned a blind eye to such actions because the Red Army had suffered severe attrition through countless battles. Many units had shrunk so drastically in numbers that they could not even retain their official designations.

Shrines were places of worship for Japan's Shintoism. Unlike Buddhism, this religion mostly enshrined indigenous deities of the Eastern Isles. As for the torii gate at the entrance, it marked a boundary separating the mortal world from the shrine. Having passed through the gate, the group had stepped into the spiritual realm revered by the people of the Eastern Isles.

In the Tianyuan Continent, two prevailing theories were common: either one had been implanted with a demonic seed by the Senluo Temple, or one's soul had been contaminated by it, turning one into a fallen, evil spirit. Yet, almost no one knew the connection between the two.

However, Wang Yun never expected that after he swore a ghostly oath and Zuo Ming signaled that he could leave, the moment he turned and took his first step, a voice called out to stop him.

Enveloped by dark clouds, the twins were still struggling silently. Their strength was immense; without abilities of B-tier or higher, binding them would likely be extremely difficult.

Yet at this moment, though he felt envy, he did not harbor the slightest intention of seizing the treasure. Having witnessed Lin Han's performance earlier, he understood clearly that he was by no means the other's match. Whether considering the mecha he had just witnessed or the opponent's own formidable strength, entertaining such thoughts and actions would undoubtedly be courting death.

"Perhaps she prefers a slow-paced place!" Hearing Chen Ruixi describe some details about Keyu, Li Mingyou suddenly realized.

Yet, could she really keep it a secret? Wen Yi had endured too much hardship over the years. Now that she had lost her sight, she must deeply yearn to have the one she loved by her side.

Ordinary zombies would only run toward the scent of the living, which caused them to run closer and closer to one another until they ended up completely clustered together.

"Xia Liu, are you alright? When I didn't see you just now, I thought you were trapped!" With that, Yuan Bingning gestured to the fully armed police officers beside her, signaling them to disperse and search the rest of the upper floors.
