Chapter 162: Chapter 162 - 156: Confronting a Formidable Foe

Meanwhile, the black and purple smoke in the sky gathered into a barrier, blocking and shattering the deadly arrow!

The familiar power, along with the man’s icy embrace, made Shen Tang instinctively tense, her breathing suddenly tight.

Xue Yinzhou sensed the female’s resistance and fear, his eyes turned slightly dark, but he wound tighter around her waist,

his thin lips close to her ear, his cold breath like a snake’s tongue licking,

"After all this time, still afraid of me?"

Shen Tang’s ears tingled, and her whole body broke out in goosebumps.

Her heart was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, how could Xue Yinzhou appear here?

Wasn’t he already the male servant of the female protagonist Shen Qingli?

The two were in enemy camps, bound to fight to the death.

Xue Yinzhou would only want to kill her more than before!

Could this inexplicable space have been created by him?

Shen Tang felt cold all over, but what happened to that energy arrow just now? If he wanted to kill her, there was no need for all these twists and turns; he could have killed her directly like before.

The situation seemed not quite as imagined.

But it didn’t change the fact that Xue Yinzhou was extremely dangerous!

Shen Tang wanted to shake him off but couldn’t break free from the terrifying coil of the Snake Beast, her face darkened, she gritted her teeth, "How did you appear here? What do you want now?"

Xue Yinzhou lowered his gaze to her face, scrutinizing it bit by bit, carefully searching.

As if he had long wanted to see her up close, fulfilling this wish without wasting a single second.

Being slowly dissected by the man’s gaze, Shen Tang felt even more uncomfortable, gritting her teeth, "You, let go of me first!"

His Adam’s apple slightly rolled, he spoke indifferently, "Someone wants to kill you."

Shen Tang’s body stiffened once again.

Xue Yinzhou chuckled coldly, "Without me, those four can’t protect you, right?"

Shen Tang heard his disdainful taunting tone, and the body that was rigid and cold suddenly flared up with nameless anger.

So he came only to watch the show and take advantage of her misfortune, right? Seriously, does he want to take this opportunity to mock her for divorcing him back then? Laugh at her for being a fool who made a wrong decision?

But back then, it was clearly he who wanted freedom, and she granted it to him.

He’s ungrateful, and what’s more, he’s tangled with Shen Qingli and opposed her!

Thinking of this, Shen Tang became even more irate, angrily shouting, "Without you, I still live well!"

She could feel the man’s body suddenly stiffen, the snake tail wrapping her waist tightened inch by inch, the force so great it nearly crushed her bones!

Shen Tang ground her teeth, refusing to give in, "I never regret divorcing you; I only regret not divorcing you earlier, giving you the chance to stab me in the back again and again!"

Xue Yinzhou’s eyes darkened, the corners turned crimson, his breath cold and gloomy, "Shen Tang! Today I shouldn’t have..."

Suddenly, laughter and applause broke the tense atmosphere between them.

"What a good show, let me see what kind of blind thing dares to break into my space!"

Shen Tang turned her head in shock, looking towards the source of the voice, her whole body bristled.

Xue Yinzhou stayed calm, wrapping Shen Tang entirely with his snake tail, forming a defensive stance.

He squinted his silver-purple eyes, pupils narrowed into needle points, locking onto a particular space.

Subsequently, his fingertips brushed through the Black Fog, forming countless arrows that pierced the space, which shattered like a mirror!

A tall and strong figure emerged, covered by a black robe, face obscure, the entire body exuding a chilly and formidable aura, unfathomable in strength, instinctively fearsome!

Shen Tang’s eyes widened in shock; who was this person?

Another assassin sent to kill her?

She could sense that this person was on a completely different level than those small fry who had tried to assassinate her before!

This person gave her a strong feeling of life-threatening danger!

The man in black didn’t look at Shen Tang, as if in his eyes, she was already dead.

He looked at Xue Yinzhou with interest, his harsh and grating voice made one’s heart chill, "I underestimated you, breaking into my space... hehe, someone is seeking death, I don’t mind solving it along the way!"

Xue Yinzhou’s purple eyes darkened, had this person discovered him?

The strength of this person was definitely not below his, at least equal, possibly even stronger.

But in the Empire, above the Eighth Rank Beastman, it could only be the Family Head of a top family, yet a Family Head would not secretly engage in such deeds.

No matter who this person truly is, they must be eliminated quickly!

Xue Yinzhou placed Shen Tang in a safe spot away from the battlefield, and in an instant charged forward to engage with the black-robed man.

Shen Tang’s eyes were filled with astonishment; how did these two start fighting?

The man in black was clearly there to kill her, and Xue Yinzhou hated her so much, shouldn’t he be on the same side?

Even if they weren’t in the same camp, the enemy’s enemy is a friend, Xue Yinzhou would at most stand on the sidelines, leisurely watching her tragic demise as revenge for the humiliation back then.

But the situation, how was it completely different from what she imagined?

Shen Tang’s mind was chaotic, emotions complex, but for now, it seemed Xue Yinzhou was stopping the man in black from killing her; she could only hope Xue Yinzhou could counter and kill him.

His Peak of Eighth Rank strength was hard to find opponents in the Empire.

Yet the opponent’s strength was even more unfathomable, actually able to fight back evenly without falling behind.

The man in black attacked with brutal and domineering force, each move aimed at the deadly points, using vicious moves likely honed by countless mortal encounters!

Xue Yinzhou’s talent was unparalleled, but he was just a watchdog kept by the original master, locked in a dark basement for years during his youth, without systematic training, all his combat experience painstakingly self-taught, clearly no match for such an experienced killer!

Soon, blood was visible on his body.

The opponent also got bitten by him, snake venom spreading into flesh and bone.

The man in black cursed, his form suddenly disappearing, reappearing behind Shen Tang the next second, seizing her neck, viciously saying, "Darn it, come closer, I’ll kill her now!"

Xue Yinzhou’s movement stopped instantly, astonishingly, a trace of panic flickered in his always calm purple eyes.

The man in black laughed triumphantly, his large and thick hand relaxed, touched Shen Tang’s cheek, his hoarse voice revealed a trace of regret, "Didn’t expect you, ugly fat woman, have grown so beautifully, killing you directly seems a pity."

Saying this, he stretched out his cold, slender black tongue like a lizard, licking her face with obsession, "Otherwise, play with me tonight, if you please me, I might consider sparing you as a living corpse!"

Shen Tang was disgusted to the point of wanting to vomit; with the two so close, it was the best time for her to act, earth spike appearing in her palm, instantly stabbing at the black-clad man’s lifeline!

The man in black cursed, hastily dodging.

He never expected the female would counterattack; even though their superpowers differed greatly, this power could barely harm him, but precisely this moment’s distraction gave Shen Tang a chance to escape.

"Earth Element Ability, you actually awakened a Second Superpower!"

The man in black’s hoarse voice burst with surprise, one could imagine those eyes hidden beneath the black robe, radiating excited fervor,

he licked his lips, "I suddenly don’t want to kill you; I want to have you, make you my forbidden treasure!"

His hand like an eagle’s claw reached towards Shen Tang’s back.

A slender white shadow rushed up instantly, sending him flying several yards away.

Subsequently, the two resumed their intense fight.

This time, the man in black was determined to get Shen Tang, unleashing his full power, frighteningly formidable, incredibly the rumored Ninth Rank Beastman!
