The multiple pellets of a shotgun shell disperse the impact force among each individual pellet, and since spherical pellets have relatively weak penetrating power and limited flight stability, they often fail to inflict sufficiently lethal damage when striking a target at a significant distance.
Qiu Ming, the master of the Yellow Sand Hall, was a boorish man with an impulsive nature. Having always lived a sheltered life, this trip to the headquarters was his first time venturing far from home, let alone visiting a prestigious sect like the Shaolin Temple—a prospect he had never even dared to imagine.
Everyone fell into a daze, so silent that no one dared to even breathe loudly; the only sound echoing in the space was the slapping of Brother Shui against his own face.
Wu Wei felt a twinge of disappointment upon hearing that he had to wait another day, but since he did not yet know what the City Lord’s reward entailed, he was not in a rush. He asked the City Lord for permission to use the teleportation array; although he no longer needed it himself, Phil and her mother would still require it to leave, and the City Lord readily agreed.
Li Shiyi’s Necromancer could only vaguely sense that Lin Yan’s mental state was somewhat turbulent, but she had no idea what the specific circumstances were.
The soldiers immediately raised their rifles at Wu Wei. Although they had taken aim, they doubted whether their weapons could pose any threat whatsoever to the demon standing before them.
Di Yuesheng and Di Mengping did not speak at all, for they knew that in the current situation, it was not their place to intervene.
Back then, due to her own weakness, she had chosen to remain hidden, but after obtaining the Black Jade, the stone had unleashed her hatred completely. Thereafter, Lin Rou chose vengeance! She killed her enemies in the most agonizing way possible.
Chen Ao briefly explained his thoughts, omitting only the darker intentions he harbored in his heart. Su Fan and the others naturally had no objections; in fact, they were eager to contribute.
Furthermore, the various European clans had brought their elites to this Holy War. If they suffered excessive losses here, they would have no way to answer to their clan leaders upon their return.
A-Luo did not look very much like her biological mother, yet the shrewdness and calm confidence in her eyes resembled Xie Mingxi perfectly.
"You—you—you’ve come to the wrong place, haven't you?!" Tang Heng, wearing Spongebob pajamas, opened the door with sleep-heavy eyes, looking completely bewildered.

Clearly, they had no intention of reconciling. They were only acting with such impunity because they knew he was currently alone and trapped in their encirclement, waiting to see how Chu Chen would react.
Based solely on the merit of being the first to surrender to the Emperor, the Prince of Chenliu’s estate could secure a firm footing and maintain its wealth and status for decades without issue.
"Sigh... it is a pity the Human King Sword is no longer in my hands. I wonder if, in my current state, the sword would still drain the unique energy from my body?" Chu Chen was eager to test it, but unfortunately, the precious blade had been stolen and lost. Still, he felt there was a high probability, as it was, after all, just a mortal sword.
Li Xiangru also engaged in endless discussions with the others, frowning and sighing by turns. Not a single person suspected her.
That was his plan: to let Xia Ying stay at the Pei residence and then quietly spread the rumor through high society that "Xia Ying is a murderer."
Ever since Zheng Shihuan could remember, he had lived there, never leaving except to go to school.
"Fine. I came up with this game, so it's your turn next," Ye Hua said with great generosity, letting the other person set the challenge.
Lü Su: "But is there really such a large space beneath us? That leaves only one possibility: there is something high-tech down there. It cannot be a void distortion, as that would not be so complex. However, there is another possibility—this is a natural labyrinth with passages extending in all directions."
He was a man of contradictions, and his actions left me feeling feverishly agitated.
A look of panic suddenly appeared on Feng Yue’s face. She reached out to pull at Yin Gezhi and pointed at Yi Zhangzhu, looking exceptionally anxious.
Her heart tightened, and she forced herself to calm down, struggling not to think about anything related to Li Huai.
"No, I did not! This is a trumped-up charge; if you are determined to condemn someone, you will always find a pretext." Zheng Yuxuan was furious. Before coming to see Li Mu, he had anticipated difficulties, but he never expected Li Mu to attack him right from the start, and in a way that left him with no room to argue.

She could not bring herself to say that the current President Si was the one ordering them to suppress and torment Ai Mu in every possible way; she could only use such subtle hints to tell her that all the unfair treatment she had received since joining the company was orchestrated by the current President Si.
Seeing the door close without her even glancing at him, Li Huai suddenly felt a sense of frustration in his heart.
Just as he was thinking this, the face before him suddenly loomed larger, leaning down slowly as if intending to kiss her.
Facing the man who had suddenly appeared, Yin Linzi did not resist, allowing the other to spirit him away. This was because Yin Linzi discovered that the man harbored no killing intent and appeared battered, suffering from countless external and internal injuries.
To keep up the act even in front of her own mother—what a performance! If she hadn't bitten her tongue hard, she surely would have burst out laughing.
Moreover, Grandfather wanted to resolve this matter before retiring, and he still had several years left, which meant this affair was extremely complicated.
"It’s not that I'm unhappy; it’s just that I suddenly remembered something." Hearing this, the expression on Chen Fei’s face faltered for a moment, his eyes flickering with a dazed look.
"It’s okay. We will return to Earth." He Momingshi did not know what else to say, and only after a long silence did he manage to utter those words.
