A sudden, overwhelming fear surged in Jian Jia's heart, for he realized he had only one more handball foul left before he'd be dead if hit again.
Li Xiu had kicked the ball at Jian Jia's hand four times, an occurrence far beyond coincidence, leaving a massive shadow in Jian Jia's mind.
Despite being physically superior to Li Xiu, Jian Jia found himself harboring a fear of Li Xiu now.
Li Xiu glanced at the stunned Jian Jia, lightly nudged the ball forward with his toe.
Jian Jia reacted as if he'd encountered a venomous snake, retreating several meters swiftly, only to realize that Li Xiu hadn't kicked the ball towards him, but was instead running towards him with the ball.
Jian Jia's face alternated between pale and green; within moments, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned to sprint towards his team's half.
This led to an astonishing scene on the field: Jian Jia was sprinting ahead while Li Xiu chased after him with the ball.
