Chapter 104: Just a Hair’s Breadth Away

“Teacher Yu, you’re here?” The bus door opened once more. This time, the person boarding was Yu Baichuan. He nodded slightly to the crew before stepping onto the bus. His eyes immediately landed on Mu Sang sitting in the front row, and he looked momentarily stunned, almost compelled to turn around and get off.

Mu Sang, feeling his intense gaze, instinctively stood up, adjusting the camera in his hands accordingly.

Yu Baichuan stood at the bus entrance, sunlight falling upon him, casting a faint chill in the air.

Hearing Teacher Ximen Jian’s words, the young teacher could only smile bitterly, knowing full well that this particular teacher held a long-standing prejudice against celebrities.

Yu Jiao appeared courteous and warm on the surface. But as her eyes swept over Mei Niang and Yun Xiang, a sinister glint flashed deep within them.

Ye Fantian’s eyes carried a cold sharpness as he looked at the other. In his hand, a massive divine sword suddenly materialized.

“You actually love her so much.” The wind bit into his face, causing slight pain. Leng Qingqing inhaled the faint fragrance drifting from Ximen Piaoxue and leaned onto her shoulder, laughing bitterly at herself.

Magaiti’s strength surpassed Zhou Zheng’s, making it difficult for Zhou Zheng to secure his position. However, in the past few days, Kobe had taught him many tricks, allowing him to finally catch the basketball.

In front of the formidable members of the Zang Xuankong family, he showed no mercy, instantly crippling one of Zang Xuankong’s arms.

Afterward, the group returned, had some light refreshments, brought their horses to the river for water, and prepared to enter the mountains.

Before leaving, Jupiter collected the two fallen heavenly artifacts left by Lan Feng. Though severely damaged, they could be repaired and used again later. Usable items should never be wasted.

As he recited the mantra, Pan Yuhong found his heart truly settling. Yet, as he focused, he felt a warm presence behind him, startling him enough to tighten his spirit and continue chanting the calming technique.

Moreover, she believed that if Yi Ling intended any harm, he would have acted long ago; there was no reason to wait until now.

The old emperor listened, his eyes darkening with increasing malice, while Madame Jing beside him looked deeply aggrieved.

“There’s no way to finish them off online. Are we just going to watch and lose?” The King of the Sea’s voice grew louder, revealing his sour mood.

“Why don’t you quit here? Is something wrong somewhere? Or is there some family matter?” Zhao Guodong hurriedly inquired.

Three days later, the remaining eunuchs and palace maids were given poisoned wine, including Biling and Sisi. Though simple-minded, Sisi was bold; seizing a moment when the guards were inattentive, she dragged Biling and fled from Huayue Palace.

Meanwhile, other missions, such as killing the fifth-generation Mizukage Terumi Mei and the fourth-generation Raikage, were classified as S-rank tasks, beyond Badak’s intended scope. What he wanted now were tasks that would take him to Konoha and some supplementary missions he could handle along the way.

Watching the old man leave so resolutely, Wang Jie was taken aback. This old fellow was truly no ordinary man—he knew when to grasp and when to let go.

“Hmph, I’m afraid you all have your chances now!” a cold voice spat. Suddenly, a lightning sword descended from the sky, seeming to merge into the space itself. Briefly vanishing, it reappeared, cleaving the gaunt cultivator in two, dissipating the gathered spiritual energy in an instant.

Zhong Li Shuo was likely aware that if Shangguan Hong were punished, the empress and crown prince would turn their wrath on him. Yet, he found himself strangely anticipating it—even though it was perilous and might cost him his life.

“You two will be the sacrifices!” Badak sneered, his expression suffocating the two dragons. A chilling aura rose from their feet to their heads, and they were utterly cowed by Badak’s overwhelming presence.

“It seems I was too gentle before. Had I known, I would have left Li Batian helpless back then,” Ye Feng lamented.
