Chapter 989 - 740: Give Her to Me
Lu Xiao’s vision was nearly failing him, but at the moment Shen Tang appeared, he saw her clearly, his ash-gray pupils trembling intensely.
Why did she come too?
Lu Xiao sighed helplessly, "Tangtang... Didn’t I tell you not to come back?"
"So you’re telling me to let you wait for death alone? To let me miss the last chance to see you!"
Shen Tang half-knelt beside Lu Xiao, stroking his pale, haggard face. Seeing him like this made her feel angry, annoyed, and heartbroken. Her nose tingled as she said, "Didn’t you say you were fine? That I shouldn’t worry about you? How could you let yourself end up like this!"
"Didn’t you say that after you finished things here, you would come find me, meet me..."
"You lied to me, didn’t you? How dare you lie to me, you promised... you would never lie to me..." As Shen Tang continued speaking, her eyes grew more moist, a hint of sobbing in her voice.
If she was still clueless now, she couldn’t imagine how regretful she would be when she really left.
After that departure, in this lifetime, she would never see him again.
She finally understood, when they last separated, Lu Xiao’s gaze clearly was full of longing, yet it seemed to hide a trace of worry, perhaps he had already decided to part with her forever.
Lu Xiao raised his hand to gently wipe the moisture from the corner of her eye, his emotions surging within.
No matter who is weak and near death, seeing their beloved person risking their life to come, the overwhelming waves of emotion and love drown them completely.
Yet, she shouldn’t have come today; he hadn’t wanted her to see him like this, but she did see him...
Shen Tang didn’t care what Lu Xiao was thinking now. Regardless, she came to take him away!
"Come with me. If you don’t, I’ll stay here, and you can watch Mo Yan kill me!" Shen Tang was furious.
Lu Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed painfully as he swallowed those words.
She said it like that, so he had no choice but to let her do as she wished.
A complex expression emerged in his eyes; he wanted to hold her tightly, but his whole body ached fiercely, and he had no strength at all.
Shen Tang held onto his shoulders, helping him up, "Let’s go!"
Seeing this, Mo Yan was infuriated to the extreme: these three were indeed in cahoots, joining forces to trick him!
"Today, none of you should think about leaving here!"
Mo Yan immediately moved to attack Shen Tang.
Xiao Jin rushed forward to block the attack, throwing a fist at him, "Old fool, blind? Look clearly! Your opponent is me!"
Mo Yan was struck by that thunderous fist, forced back several steps, startled internally: this leopard’s power is unexpectedly strong!?
Despite being so young, he possesses such remarkable talent and strength, causing apprehension, even jealousy!
Mo Yan gritted his teeth, speaking furiously, "You despicable and shameless things, kidnapping my son, trespassing into the Royal Palace to take away the criminal, challenging my tribe’s dignity, destined to be Sky City’s eternally wanted criminals!"
Xiao Jin spat, as if chuckling at stupidity, "Old fool, if you don’t realize how much you’re hated, let me tell you! You’ve been the City Lord for so many years, secretly accumulating enemies, who knows how many want to use your precious daughter against you, what right do you have to doubt us!"
"Moreover, there was also a Divine Hall member there then, why don’t you suspect them! Could it be you lack the courage?"
Mo Yan glared at him, "The evidence is conclusive, trying to argue, truly thinking this City Lord will fall for your provocation! Hand over my son!"
He was convinced Wu Wei’s disappearance was absolutely related to them, unwilling to listen, refusing to believe anything they said, determined to be their enemy.
The two sides continued their fierce battle.
Xiao Jin and Shou Jin already possessed Late-stage Primordial Beast Rank, even Peak, strength. With superpower fusion, their strength reached a new peak, even Breaking Yuan Rank in the Legendary Realm!
He was still young, having broken through not long ago, his strength and aptitude far below the wily Mo Yan, yet Mo Yan’s past glory had faded; he was now a middle-aged Beastman, his strength long past its former peak, not matching the young and vigorous Xiao Jin.
