Chapter 999 - 744: Tell That Coward to Come Out and Face Me_2
Lu Xiao’s eyes flashed with a hint of determination as he used the last bit of his strength to throw Shen Tang off his back——
Shen Tang’s body was propelled away by a gentle force, while he himself was suddenly pulled toward the center of the vortex by a terrifying suction.
"Ah Xiao! No——"
Shen Tang’s face turned deathly pale, desperately trying to rush back.
But the force was too strong, she couldn’t control her body at all, and could only helplessly watch as Lu Xiao’s figure grew further and smaller, eventually swallowed completely by the bottomless black vortex.
Then, that suction suddenly turned toward her.
Shen Tang didn’t have time to react and was also drawn in.
As the world spun, Shen Tang felt like a fallen leaf, tumbling and dropping in the violent air currents, unable to discern direction, her consciousness turning into a void.
She didn’t know how long had passed. When she regained her senses, she was surrounded by gurgling water. Upon opening her eyes again, she found herself in the eerie deep sea.
Shen Tang had a water pearl given to her by Jia Lan previously, enabling her to breathe normally even in the deep sea, but Lu Xiao couldn’t breathe normally in the sea area.
Moreover, he was a Feathered Beast, unable to stretch freely in the sea area. Even with his present power, capable of constructing an energy barrier around himself to block seawater, it was still highly dangerous if he truly fell into the sea area.
Not to mention, his Return Nest had relapsed, and he was alone. If he encountered danger, perhaps...
Shen Tang didn’t dare to think further, calling out loudly, "Ah Xiao——! Ah Xiao!"
No response.
Her voice was swallowed by the sea, with not even an echo.
Her heart felt gripped by an invisible hand, and Shen Tang forced herself to calm down.
Lu Xiao had been pulled in before her, so he should also be nearby. She must find him.
Shen Tang spread out her spiritual power to search for Lu Xiao, encountering numerous attacks in the process.
In the vast and deep sea area, especially within numerous abyssal trenches, many giant Mutated Sea Beasts emerged, as if targeting her specifically, launching fierce attacks.
Yet Shen Tang was now at the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier, her power much stronger than before. All the Mutated Sea Beasts she encountered were slain by her.
"This female’s power is truly formidable. So many Overlord Level Mutated Sea Beasts, enough to destroy a city, were unexpectedly all handled by her."
The hidden Sea Beastmen whispered in shock.
"No wonder Your Majesty sent us to deal with this Foreign Clan female. But putting that aside, this outsider female is truly beautiful. Doesn’t Your Majesty love beauties the most? Surprising that he sent us to kill her."
Someone sneered, "Ha! Your Majesty values noble bloodlines highly. Only those with noble and beautiful Sea Clan female identities are qualified to serve by his side. This female seems to be from a Foreign Clan from the land."
"Foreign Clan female? Why does she seem unaffected in the sea area? Could she have a Water Clan partner?"
"Did you notice the faint blue aura emanating from her? It feels oddly familiar, reminiscent of Your Majesty’s aura... Also, Your Majesty has never ordered so many of us to hunt a female before. Could it be something between them..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty sent us to kill this female, how could he be related to this Foreign Clan female!"
"Stop with the nonsense, hurry and kill this female, then report back to Your Majesty!"
The Sea Beastmen emerged from the shadows, surrounding the female from all directions, launching a fierce attack.
Indeed, this female was exceptionally powerful, on par with their Sea Clan’s Great General. However, it was many against one, and the female had surely expended much energy fighting those fierce sea beasts earlier.
They were confident they could take down this female.
Yet reality was far harsher than they imagined. When these Beastmen were all dealt with by Shen Tang, and even the Great General fell at her hands, their disdain finally turned to fear.
Shen Tang left one alive because she needed someone to send a message.
She spoke arrogantly and coldly, "Go and tell Your Majesty, sending these shrimp soldiers and crab generals over, aren’t you afraid of disgracing yourself? Truly embarrassing!"
