Chapter 950 - 721: Benefactor (Part 1)_2
Another Beastman who also possessed the rare Space Ability initially planned to pierce through space and launch a sneak attack on Shen Tang. However, just as they managed to approach, the female in front of him suddenly vanished.
Immediately after, the terrain shifted again, and his comrade unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
His attack landed squarely on his comrade.
"Ah!"
Before long, screams of agony echoed continuously.
Mixed in were plenty of curses and accusations.
"Are you blind? Why are you hitting me?"
"Damn it, it was you who hit me just now, right? I knew you’ve been displeased with me for a while. Daring to sneak attack me, you’re asking for death!"
This group of Beastmen already appeared disorganized, and Shen Tang played them against each other, causing several to turn on each other. The scene was comical beyond belief.
Wu Wei’s expression was no longer smug; astonishment flashed across her face.
This Foreign Clan female’s Earth Skill could actually alter the terrain; this was the power to move mountains and fill seas that only peak-level Earth Element Ability could manifest!
How could she have such a strong superpower?
But that wasn’t all.
If Earth Element Ability was more defensive, then Shen Tang’s true prowess extended far beyond that.
Shen Tang dodged the attack, her figure landing high on the mountaintop. With a stomp, ice rapidly spread out, freezing the entire ground into layers.
The surrounding trees and rocks were all frozen, and any Beastman who came into contact was invaded by the cold, frozen inch by inch.
Regardless of their human or beast form, many Feather Clan Beastmen accidentally stepped on the ice or touched frozen trees; legs, wings, and claws all became encased in ice.
The Feather Clan excels at aerial combat, but once a part of their body is frozen, their flying ability plummets, followed by a drop in combat strength.
The situation shifted quietly.
Shen Tang’s expression grew colder, her actions increasingly decisive and fierce. With a raise of her hand, she conjured countless Spirit Blades, piercing through the air.
Those Beastmen couldn’t even see the trajectory of her spiritual power and had no chance to escape, soon crying out as they fell into pools of blood.
Wu Wei’s expression turned horrendous; she cursed internally at the group of incompetents. So many of them together couldn’t defeat one Foreign Clan member; it was truly shameful.
However, this ignited a previously unseen fervent battle intent within her.
From a young age, she had never met a female stronger than herself; even those so-called male prodigies in the city were no match for her!
Unexpectedly, this Foreign Clan female’s strength was beyond expectations.
Worthy enough for her to handle personally!
Then let her personally end it, and it would even be considered an honorable death.
Excitement and murderous intent flashed in Wu Wei’s silver-gray eyes; her thoughts stirred, and she immediately sprang into action.
Here, Shen Tang was just about to finish off the opponents when suddenly she felt an overpowering and fierce aura swiftly approaching.
Her heart trembled violently, as if it skipped a beat.
This aura was much stronger than those Beastmen! Fierce and dominant, she felt an enormous threat.
She couldn’t even stabilize herself, flying like a windblown kite, knocked several meters away.
Immediately, Wu Wei closed in on Shen Tang in the blink of an eye, a razor-sharp Wind Blade condensed in her palm, aiming straight for her neck.
Shen Tang’s pupils contracted sharply; if this were in the past, she could guarantee she couldn’t dodge this strike!
But now, having gone through so many battles, her body reacted faster than her mind, instantly activating her Space Ability to escape.
"Ha! Not a single prey has escaped under my watch."
Wu Wei also possessed Space Ability and instantly pursued her.
But just as she caught up, a storm of Ice Blades rained down.
Wu Wei reacted quickly, immediately forming a wind wall in front of her, smashing the Ice Blades apart.
At the same time, she sensitively sensed a spatial fluctuation somewhere, her palm swiftly conjuring a Wind Blade, striking towards that space.
Shen Tang couldn’t escape further, forced to reveal herself and flee from the space.
Having fought for so long, Shen Tang was clearly depleted, her chest heaving heavily, in far worse shape than at the start.
Wu Wei said arrogantly, "Stop flaunting those tricks; I’ve seen through them. You’re not my opponent at all."
Wu Wei was immensely talented and strong. Not yet thirty, she had already reached the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier a year ago. In Sky City, none of her peers were her match!
This Foreign Clan female was indeed formidable; she guessed she too was at the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier.
Moreover, what made her both wary and envious was that this female’s superpower and skills were particularly strong, surpassing even her.
However, judging by appearances, she must have only recently reached the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier; her strength wasn’t as settled as Wu Wei’s.
Furthermore, she had already unraveled her tactics.
This battle, she was certain the victory would be hers.
"Oh, is that so? Then I guess... you haven’t seen this before." Shen Tang’s breath was uneven, yet a mysterious smile curved at the corner of her mouth.
Wu Wei hesitated, unable to react before a thick, long vine suddenly sprang from the ground, directly entangling her body.
This vine was a darker green than ordinary ones, almost black, its edges lined with sharp thorns that directly pierced into her flesh. The pain twisted her face, eliciting a furious roar.
Wu Wei struggled desperately to free herself, but the vines tightened like venomous snakes. The more she fought, the deeper the thorns embedded, the pain intolerable.
What terrified her more was that these vines seemed to be sucking away her life force!
No... how was this possible?!
How could this Foreign Clan female possess such a bizarre technique?!
Shen Tang approached her, now looking down upon her from a victor’s vantage point, her mouth curved in a gentle smile.
Casually, she asked, "How does defeat taste, young lady?"
Wu Wei had never lost in her life.
To be defeated by a female she looked down upon felt worse than death.
Her face turned extremely grim, struggling desperately, but the pain forced her to halt.
Wu Wei spat, glaring ferociously at Shen Tang, "You think you’ve defeated me? Keep dreaming!"
Shen Tang calmly observed her rage and embarrassment, her hand instantly summoning an Ice Sword, resting it on her neck, and lightly said, "True strength is never afraid to acknowledge defeat. Seeing you so flustered and angry is truly laughable."
"You—" Wu Wei’s face contorted further in rage, yet she was speechless.
Shen Tang didn’t bother wasting words with her, directly cutting to the chase, "I have a few questions to ask you. If you can answer, I might consider letting you go; otherwise, I’ll kill you."
"What makes you think you have the right to threaten me!" Wu Wei was furious, her face flushed, staring at Shen Tang with a gaze filled with murderous intent.
She had never experienced such humiliation growing up.
Shen Tang said nothing, merely pushed the Ice Sword forward.
A bloodstain immediately appeared on Wu Wei’s slender neck, blood trickling down.
Her body stiffened, for the first time feeling the threat of death, falling silent instantly.
Shen Tang saw she was subdued, pursed her lips, and said softly, "I want to ask you about Xiao."
