Chapter 990 - 740: For Her_2
As time passed, he gradually showed signs of fatigue, feeling increasingly powerless.
On the other hand, Xiao Jin grew more courageous the longer they fought, as if his strength was inexhaustible.
Mo Yan anticipated danger too, suspecting that no matter how much he continued to hold on, he may not be able to match this leopard!
"Xiao! If I die, you’ll never get your hands on Return Nest again!" Mo Yan turned his head to look at Lu Xiao from a short distance away, threateningly saying, "You’ll die a much worse death than me!"
Shen Tang heard this, and suddenly became tense.
Xiao Jin’s movements also suddenly paused, a slight trace of conflict appearing on his handsome face.
Killing this old guy was just a matter of a flick of the wrist, but Lu Xiao’s current situation was rather special; if the old guy died, it would certainly implicate him.
This old guy always had a life-saving trump card in his hand, making it impossible to make a move against him.
If he died, Lu Xiao would be doomed too.
Lu Xiao’s complexion remained pale, yet there was no panic on his face, just an excessive calmness, as if he wasn’t affected by Mo Yan’s words at all.
"Big Boss, don’t use this to threaten me, I’ve already obtained ’Return Nest’."
Lu Xiao spoke, and unexpectedly took out a vial of potion directly from the Space Ring, with a deep blue liquid shimmering inside.
Mo Yan’s expression changed to one of incredulity.
"Big Boss, what do you think I have been lurking by your side for all this time?"
Lu Xiao’s voice seemed to have returned to its usual calmness, even carrying a hint of meaningful smile, as if the pain he was enduring just now was merely an act.
Mo Yan’s eyes widened as he shouted, "No! Impossible! Return Nest has always been under my control, there’s no way you could get it!"
Mo Yan simply couldn’t believe this had happened, he completely unleashed the power of Return Nest within Lu Xiao!
Mo Yan had never planned to kill Lu Xiao before, he merely wanted to torment him, slowly breaking his wings, hence always keeping it under control. But this time he completely unleashed the true power of Return Nest, capable of making one suffer unbearably, wishing for death rather than life!
However, contrary to his expectations, Lu Xiao’s expression remained unchanged, as if his body was devoid of any pain.
He kept calmly watching Mo Yan, as if looking at a laughable jumping clown, without even the slightest disturbance in his aura.
Mo Yan’s face turned exceedingly gloomy, his lips trembling slightly, as if the trump card he had controlled for years and been proud of had suddenly failed.
He staggered back several steps, a previously unfelt fear suddenly surfacing in his heart.
Seeing that Lu Xiao had already obtained the potion, Xiao Jin thought to himself that this kid seemed on the brink of death earlier, but unexpectedly had obtained the potion secretly, rendering the old man’s threat useless!
His fighting became even more wanton and reckless.
Xiao Jin unleashed his attacks wildly, his moves ferocious and ruthless, each punch hitting the body, which was beyond what an old man over fifty could withstand.
Mo Yan finally realized that he was bound to lose today, and his mindset completely crumbled. In his anger and humiliation, compounded by the pain of losing a son, he even wanted to risk everything to take them down with him.
Xiao Jin noticed and instantly punched him, interrupting the spellcasting.
Shen Tang quickly took Lu Xiao and escaped using the Space Ability and Instant Teleportation Ability.
...
Here was a very remote and tranquil forest.
Shen Tang did not know where this place was, but it seemed incredibly far from Sky City, likely devoid of any threats.
They finally escaped!
After confirming their safety, Shen Tang smiled with relief, just about to turn and share the good news with Lu Xiao when the man’s heavy body suddenly collapsed.
Shen Tang hurriedly supported him, but the man’s heavy and tall body suddenly crashed down, causing her to stagger and lose her footing, both of them falling to the ground.
"Ah! Oof..."
Shen Tang grimaced, slightly hurt by the fall, though thankfully her physique was quite strong now, and the pain did not concern her much.
She was more worried about Lu Xiao’s condition.
"Ah Xiao, what’s wrong?"
Shen Tang frantically looked at Lu Xiao, only to discover that the man’s expression was even more haggard than when in the palace, almost entirely devoid of any color.
His forehead veins bulged, a few shades of ferocity appeared on his face, and he unexpectedly coughed up blood, most of it splattered on her clothes.
