Chapter 952 - 723: Benefactor (3)
Shen Tang froze on the spot when she heard those words, a swirling mixture of emotions she couldn’t pin down filled her heart, choking her up so much that she could barely breathe, even her fingers were slightly trembling.
Control... Return Nest...
During the days Lu Xiao disappeared, he actually went through so much, yet she knew nothing about it.
No wonder he kept avoiding her, wouldn’t meet with her, and couldn’t leave with her.
No wonder he told her to leave and never come back.
So when he said he’d come back to find her once things were handled, that was a lie, right?
When he said those words, he probably already realized in his heart that he couldn’t come back.
And all of this was because Lu Xiao wanted to find her at the beginning, which is why he resolutely joined Sky City, even willingly becoming a puppet for the Big Boss.
That was Lu Xiao, such a proud and dignified person at his core, how could he possibly willingly bow down to anyone, acting as a groveling dog for that Big Boss?
Shen Tang was trembling just breathing, her mind filled with imaginary scenes of Lu Xiao being tortured by Return Nest, a torment worse than death that probably no one could endure.
He’s most likely already been tormented to the point of losing his mind, maybe that’s why he agreed to marry Wu Wei.
If it is true, how could Shen Tang bear to blame him?
But thinking of all this made her heart feel as though it was being seized by someone, hurting so much she couldn’t catch her breath.
Why didn’t he say anything to her and acted like nothing was wrong in front of her? She couldn’t imagine he had been through so much suffering.
However, Shen Tang couldn’t blame him.
She could only blame herself.
If only she could have found him sooner.
Shen Tang was so overwhelmed that her power and aura began to go haywire.
Seizing the moment she was lost in thought, Wu Wei broke free from the vines binding her.
Wu Wei retreated to a safe place and looked at the devastated Shen Tang, laughing delightedly, "Xiao is now one of us in Sky City. He will be loyal to us for the rest of his life and will never leave with you again!"
"We will be married next month. If you manage to leave here alive today, I might show some kindness and invite you to the wedding feast!"
After saying this, Wu Wei lunged again.
Shen Tang snapped back to her senses, her expression icy as if carved from ice, eyes burning with overwhelming anger.
These people dared to treat Lu Xiao this way, not even being torn to shreds would be enough!
The two started fighting again.
Both were at the Peak of the Primordial Beast Tier, truly standing at the pinnacle of the world’s strength. When they went all out, their superpowers clashed violently, creating visible giant waves in the air, spreading tens of miles.
Nearby rocks trembled.
The shockwave from the energy explosion almost blew the entire mountain apart.
Describing this scene as earth-shattering would not be an exaggeration!
The surrounding males were stunned with fear, not daring to intervene, nor even approach, for fear of getting caught in the crossfire, and could only watch the distant battle that made their legs go weak.
Good heavens, two females fighting like this, with such tremendous uproar!
They just crouched by the sidelines like little quails just hatched.
In the world, females were already scarce, those who could fight were even scarcer, each standing at the top of the world.
Today they witnessed two top females clashing; even living ten lifetimes, they might never get to see this again, it was too shocking.
Many among these people were Wu Wei’s suitors. They always knew how powerful this young lady was, but today was the first time witnessing her true capabilities, it was just terrifying.
If they were to marry her and somehow make her angry, wouldn’t they be ground to dust, leaving no trace?
The battlefield grew more intense, Wu Wei, having suffered before, dared not to be arrogant again, treating Shen Tang as a genuine opponent, focusing with utmost concentration.
She didn’t fall for any more traps, but Shen Tang’s superpower was too strong.
Both of their levels were about the same, and Wu Wei had even broken through the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier earlier, but Shen Tang’s superpower was not only varied but also ruthlessly combined, which put Wu Wei at a disadvantage.
At first, they were evenly matched, but Shen Tang figured out Wu Wei’s tricks after a few rounds, gradually gaining the upper hand!
Wu Wei grew more agitated and unwilling as they fought on.
She never imagined that a foreign female could dominate her in a fight.
Initially, her hostility toward Shen Tang was merely because the male she had her eyes on was taken; she just wanted to get rid of this troublesome obstacle, which was the usual practice in Sky City.
If Shen Tang managed to escape, Wu Wei wouldn’t care much, as this female posed no real threat to her; as long as she didn’t show up and cause trouble, letting her go was not out of the question.
