Chapter 1000 - 744: Make That Coward Come Out and Face Me_3
"I look down on him."
The face of the Sea Beastman turned a mix of blue and red, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, because this female was indeed very strong, they indeed couldn’t defeat her, losing convincingly!
Shen Tang looked towards the distant sea area, continuing to sneer coldly, "If he really wants to kill me, let that coward come out and meet me personally, stop being a turtle that only dares to hide in its shell!"
"You! How dare you insult His Majesty! This is treasonous and..."
Before the person could finish speaking, Shen Tang directly conjured an Ice Sword and placed it against his neck, instantly leaving a trail of blood.
The Beastman immediately collapsed to the ground, too frightened to say another word.
At the same time, Shen Tang also cast out a spiritual power mark, landing it on his forehead.
"Relay my exact words to him, or you will immediately explode and die!"
After speaking, Shen Tang released the Ice Sword, and the Beastman scrambled away in fright.
Shen Tang’s expression grew colder, indeed much like she imagined, Liu Ye, having tasted defeat last time, would certainly not come out so easily this time.
She wanted to see who would lose patience first?
Shen Tang dealt with quite a few Sea Beasts along the way and continued searching for people.
Suddenly, she encountered a whirlpool again, and as her consciousness went black once more, she experienced another dizzying spin.
Bang—
She crashed heavily against something.
"Ugh..."
Pain radiated from her back, Shen Tang let out a muffled groan, struggling to get up. But her body felt like it had fallen apart, completely unresponsive.
She barely opened her eyes, taking in a scene of eerie imagination, this wasn’t the seabed.
Above was a gray sky, devoid of sun or clouds, only an expanse of dead grayness. Below was a black sand beach, the grains so fine they felt like powder, making no sound when stepped upon.
In the distance was an expanse of endless sea, the water an unfathomable black, silent without a ripple.
Behind her was a towering sea wind from where she must have fallen, nearly giving her a concussion.
A thick fog enveloped the surroundings, visibility less than a hundred meters.
What is this place?
[Host, I have sensed that Lu Xiao should be nearby.]
Shen Tang’s heart tightened, struggling to stand up, she quickly used her Healing Ability to treat her injuries, swiftly searching around.
She walked along the black sand beach, calling out Lu Xiao’s name as she went.
She didn’t know how long she walked, when suddenly, the fog before her thinned a little.
Shen Tang saw a figure.
The figure half-knelt on the ground, soaked all over, evidently just emerged from the sea, shaking violently.
Scattered around were many corpses of the Sea Clan pursuers, their deaths were very tragic, bodies cut into pieces by Wind Blades, or twisted into strange shapes.
Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat.
"Ah Xiao..."
Shen Tang quickly ran over but abruptly stopped in her tracks as she got close.
Lu Xiao raised his head.
His usually gentle deep eyes were now full of violence and savagery, his face full of pain and struggle, forehead veins popping, his teeth clenched with a grinding sound.
"Don’t... come closer..."
Lu Xiao’s voice was so hoarse it was nearly unrecognizable, every word seemed forced out through clenched teeth.
His body trembled more violently, fingers digging deep into the black sand, as if using all his might to control himself, even sensing himself on the brink of losing control, he directly struck his chest with a palm, spitting a mouthful of blood.
Shen Tang’s tears flowed out at once.
She knew how painful it was when the Return Nest flared up, but seeing him like this only made her heartache grow more intense and bitter.
The man from her memory, always gentle, always considerate, always shielding her, now resembled a beast on the brink of losing control, desperately suppressing the violent force within with his last shred of reason.
Moreover, she could feel the Return Nest flares up more frequently and intensely each time, Lu Xiao’s limits stretching infinitely under the acute pain, one final push away, and his thread of reason might completely snap.
She desperately wanted to help him, taking a step forward:
"Ah Xiao..."
"Don’t, please stay away from me... don’t come closer!"
Lu Xiao looked at her in agony, a low growl escaping his throat, those dark azure beast eyes full of struggle and fear, afraid of hurting her.
Shen Tang halted.
But she only paused for a second.
The next second, she walked towards him.
"Tangtang, don’t—"
Shen Tang crouched in front of him, reaching out to embrace him.
Lu Xiao’s body suddenly stiffened.
She could feel him trembling all over, his muscles hard as stone, scorching enough to feel burning.
He seemed to want to push her away, but instinct completely overrode reason, and he clung to her like a lifeline, clutching her waist with such force it felt like her bones might shatter!
The man’s breathing was as heavy as bellows, his throat emitting repressed groans.
Shen Tang didn’t speak or struggle at all.
She simply held him tightly, burying her face in his neck.
Lu Xiao’s body remained tense for a long time, then trembled even more violently, his hand suddenly clenched her clothing, the force so strong it nearly tore the fabric, yet he never pushed her away.
"Tangtang..." His voice was terribly hoarse, laden with extreme pain, "Go... quickly go... I can’t control it..."
Shen Tang held him even tighter.
"I’m not leaving."
"You’ll get hurt..."
"Then don’t hurt me."
Lu Xiao struggled to suppress that wild surging power within, his whole body shaking as if sifting grain, the Return Nest eruption growing ever stronger, nearly reaching his utmost limit, threatening to shred his reason completely.
He bit down hard, tasting blood flooding his mouth.
Lu Xiao tried as before to suppress a certain impulse with his reason, but this time, he couldn’t resist anymore, flipping the female beneath him!
