The energy in the surroundings suddenly surged violently, condensing into a sharp blade that stabbed straight toward Shen Tang.

Shen Tang’s expression changed abruptly as she quickly dodged aside to evade the attack.

But almost at the same time, several chains formed from energy instantly wrapped around her body and limbs!

She didn’t even have time to struggle before she was yanked into a cold, razor‑sharp embrace filled with danger.

"Let go—ugh!"

She didn’t even have time to see the newcomer’s face clearly; a sharp pain hit the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness.

"Tangtang!"

"Xiao Tang’er!"

The Beast Husbands’ eyes almost split with rage, their furious gazes wishing they could tear that suddenly appearing Beastman to shreds.

The man was cold and imposing, his aura overwhelming, his strength even more powerful than several of the Holy Seats they’d encountered before!

He probably also possessed a Concealing Ability, and had definitely been hiding nearby for a long time, waiting until Xiao Jin and the others were tied up in battle before finally making his move to seize the female... To lay a trap so silently—this person’s strength was likely already at the Peak of Breaking Yuan Rank.

Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao immediately prepared to rush in and snatch the female back.

Zhuang He instantly clamped his hand around Shen Tang’s throat, his voice cold and low. "Don’t move, or I’ll snap her neck right now."

Shen Li and the others felt as if they’d been nailed in place, unable to move.

The people of the Divine Hall were vicious and ruthless. Even if Shen Tang still had value to them, if truly driven to the brink, it wasn’t certain they wouldn’t kill her.

Zong Gao, wounded all over, withdrew from the battlefield and stepped to Zhuang He’s side. Though his expression was ugly, his tone carried mockery. "Opposing the Divine Hall is just courting death. Stop struggling pointlessly."

"We’re taking this female with us."

"She belongs to the Divine Hall to begin with."

"You bastards! Let her go! I’ll fight you to the death!"

Xiao Jin’s eyes were blood‑red, tears of blood almost spilling, as he charged forward like a madman.

So what if he died—he’d drag them all down with him!

Zhuang He was momentarily stunned.

Fuck, he’d forgotten there was a lunatic.

He raised his hand and tore open a Space rift, taking the unconscious female hostage, and vanished in an instant together with Zong Gao.

The remaining army surged forward like a tide, and the Beast Husbands’ figures were instantly submerged.

Boom—

In the next instant, energy exploded outward, blasting the Divine Hall Beastmen flying; some were burned to ashes on the spot, scattered to the wind!

Three figures rushed out after the blast, chasing hard along the trail of the Space escape.

"Like maggots clinging to bone—truly annoying."

Zhuang He’s face showed disgust. He then turned his head and ordered Zong Gao, "Stop them. Don’t let them catch up. If necessary—abandon your body."

"The Divine Hall created me. I will not fail my mission."

Zong Gao detached himself from the Space and blocked Xiao Jin and the others who were pursuing, buying Zhuang He time to retreat.

A moment later, a deafening explosion echoed from afar.

Zhuang He, carrying the unconscious female, entered the Divine Hall and completely sealed the entrance.

...

When Shen Tang woke up, she found herself locked in a dungeon, her hands and feet bound tightly by specially made energy chains.

Her face darkened immediately. She gathered power in both hands, and the chains shattered with a thunderous bang.

"Not good, the test subject is awake."

"She’s trying to run."

"Quick, seize her. We absolutely can’t let her escape!"

The guards rushed forward one after another.

Shen Tang swept her hand up, blasting a large group aside, then flashed to the front of the dungeon door.

The door was locked tight; it needed both an Identity Card and an iris scan to open.

The System detected her escape and immediately triggered a red alert, summoning more guards to come arrest her.

Energy gathered in Shen Tang’s palm, and she blasted a large hole in the prison door, striding out and charging along the route she remembered.

Zhuang He had originally been heading to the inner sector to report, when he heard someone hastily come to inform him that the test subject they’d just captured had escaped.

Even he was shocked. He had clearly injected her with a massive amount of drugs; even a Beastman of Holy Seat Level should have been unconscious for at least three days. He hadn’t expected her to wake so quickly.

The growth rate of this test subject truly exceeded their expectations.

He immediately dispatched a very high‑ranking Beastman to go report to the inner sector, while he himself turned back again, personally leading people to capture Shen Tang.

As Shen Tang fled along the way, she discovered that compared to her last visit, the Divine Hall’s guard presence had multiplied several times over.

Several times along the way she was almost discovered.

She rushed to the entrance, only to find it had already been sealed.

"The test subject is over there! Grab her quickly!"

A large wave of pursuers surged up from behind.

She also sensed a familiar, powerful aura—it was the Beastman who’d captured her before!

Shit.

Just as Shen Tang was about to find a place to hide, a slender hand suddenly reached out from the shadows, wrapped around her waist, and yanked her into the darkness in an instant.
