Off to the side.
The curve of Jiang Che's lips grew ever more wicked.
He lounged there, controlling the Hummingbird Reconnaissance Robot hovering in midair with his mind.
He recorded Ling Xiaodong's tear-and-snot-streaked face from every angle and saved the footage to the system's memory.
While Ling Xiaodong clutched his nose and mouth, lost in profound self-doubt,
Wu Xiao, the Boar Spirit he had kicked unconscious, happened to stir awake.
Wu Xiao's heavy, black-haired eyelids twitched. He opened a pair of huge, bloodshot pig eyes.
The moment his vision cleared, he locked onto the short-haired young man who had subjected him to such humiliation.
Forcing his battered body to move, Wu Xiao wrung the last scrap of strength from it and dragged himself out of the mud.
"Awooo!"
Wu Xiao let out a shriek that tore through the night.
He abandoned all defense, lowered his massive head, and charged straight at Ling Xiaodong with reckless, suicidal force!
Ling Xiaodong was busy trying to stop the fluids pouring from his face. How could he guard against an attack from behind?
Bang!
A dull impact rang out.
Wu Xiao's hard boar skull struck Ling Xiaodong square in the lower back!
The tremendous force launched Ling Xiaodong off his feet like a cannonball, sending him flying through the air once again.
His body traced an arc through the air.
He hurtled straight toward the stretcher carrying Liu Chongshan.
As luck would have it,
at that very split second,
Liu Chongshan, who had just fainted from rage, drew a breath and stubbornly began to come around again...
The weathered head of the Liu Family slowly opened his slightly clouded eyes.
His vision had not even focused yet. He had no idea what was happening.
Then a huge shadow blotted out everything above him.
