Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257

"Hahaha, Group Leader Tang, you really have guts to come here alone for this meeting. I admire you."

A man in black wearing a Jade Emperor mask led a group of masked individuals out from the cave.

"Are you the mastermind behind all this?"

Tang Ming stared intently at the man with the Jade Emperor mask and gritted his teeth, "I’m here now. Where’s Wu Xiaoyu?"

The man in the Jade Emperor mask was none other than Nangong Tianyue. He wanted to see Tang Xin submit at his feet with his own eyes.

"Hehe, are you sure I will bring Wu Xiaoyu here?"

Nangong Tianyue chuckled, "If I say I didn’t bring her, what can you do to me?"

"What can a cripple like me do to you?"

Tang Ming snorted coldly and then said cruelly, "Although I can’t do anything to you, I can end my own life. You want to capture me, just to get the method to neutralize the Genetic Poison from me. Can you afford to let me die?"

"Clever. But now that things have come to this, do you think your life or death is still in your own hands?"

Nangong Tianyue secretly admired him while mocking Tang Ming.

"Do you think a Poison expert like me wouldn’t have a poison that allows me to die instantly?"

Tang Ming raised his head, confidently looking at Nangong Tianyue.

Hearing this, Nangong Tianyue’s expression changed slightly.

Although Tang Xin’s cultivation was crippled, his medical skill must have been retained. The ones who can detoxify are often also adept at poisoning, and if he truly wanted to seek death, there might actually be nothing Nangong Tianyue could do.

"Bring Wu Xiaoyu out."

Nangong Tianyue, silent for a moment, waved his hand coldly.

Immediately, someone dragged a bloodied Wu Xiaoyu out from the cave.

At this moment, Wu Xiaoyu was unrecognizable. Her hair, once black and shiny, was now tangled and matted with blood, her entire body without a patch of intact skin.

The nails on both her hands and feet had been pulled out, bleeding profusely, a sight too tragic to behold.

"Bastards, how could you torture a girl ."

Upon seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s tragic state, Tang Ming roared with eyes blazing.

"We had no choice. This stubborn girl wouldn’t tell us your whereabouts."

Nangong Tianyue shrugged, speaking helplessly, "In the end, you were going to fall into my hands. I really don’t know what she was holding out for, it was just a waste of time."

Tang Ming clenched his fists tightly. If he had more strength, he would have rushed forward to fight these animals to the death.

"Master, just leave, leave now."

Seeing Tang Ming appear, the unrecognizable Wu Xiaoyu called out with difficulty.

"Xiaoyu, don’t worry. Today, I’ll definitely get you out of here. Hang in there."

Tang Ming comforted her hastily, shouting in pain, "They wanted to know my whereabouts, you should have told them, why suffer ."

"I won’t betray Master. Don’t worry about me, I..."

Wu Xiaoyu struggled frantically, but as soon as she moved, the pain from her wounds overwhelmed her, causing her to pass out.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, wake up, answer me!"

Tang Ming cried out anxiously, rushing towards Nangong Tianyue and his group.

Nangong Tianyue snorted coldly, and a group of mysterious figures swiftly pinned Tang Ming to the ground.

"I’ve already fallen into your hands; treat Wu Xiaoyu immediately and let her go."

Tang Ming struggled and shouted furiously.

"Hehe, Tang Xin, oh Tang Xin, are you being naive? Now that you’re in my clutches, why should I let Wu Xiaoyu go?"

Nangong Tianyue laughed out loud, looking playfully at Tang Ming, "Capturing the Wu family’s young miss wasn’t easy, the best course of action is to finish her, silence her, and destroy the evidence. Otherwise, if the Wu Family investigates, it will be a big problem."

Tang Ming glared, looking coldly at Nangong Tianyue, "If it’s merely my corpse you seek, go ahead, break your word and see what happens."

"Hehe, now that you’re in my hands, you won’t even get the chance to die, how can you threaten me?"

Nangong Tianyue stepped on Tang Ming’s face, cursing coldly, "Die, you worthless scum, why don’t you drop dead for me now?"

"Hahaha, fine, then let’s die together."

Tang Ming laughed maniacally, exerting force, his body immediately glowing red.

Everyone was startled and quickly retreated to the side.

"Are you scared now?"

"Tang Xin, you, don’t act recklessly."

Nangong Tianyue glared at Tang Ming, gritting his teeth, "Wu Xiaoyu is still in our hands, if you act recklessly, she’ll die too."

"Better to die than remain in your hands facing torture."

Tang Ming smiled coldly, saying domineeringly, "Since I dared to come, I wasn’t planning on leaving alive. Taking down so many of you with me is worth it."

"You, what the hell do you want?"

Nangong Tianyue panicked. Though he didn’t care about others’ lives, he cherished his own.

"Let me take Wu Xiaoyu away, we’ll all be better off; otherwise, we’ll die together."

Tang Ming shouted ferociously.

Nangong Tianyue frowned, speaking coldly, "At most, I’ll agree to let Wu Xiaoyu leave, but you must stay. If I don’t deal with you today, I’ll have no chance later, better to die together than face your retaliation later."

Nangong Tianyue’s tone was firm; in this situation, if Tang Ming rescued Wu Xiaoyu, it would be impossible to find another chance to exploit someone close to him in the future.

If Tang Ming truly didn’t care about Wu Xiaoyu’s fate, he wouldn’t have risked himself, he could simply hide and not show up.

Nangong Tianyue concluded that Tang Ming’s goal was to rescue Wu Xiaoyu; leaving together was a bargaining tactic.

"Fine, as long as you let Wu Xiaoyu go, I’ll willingly surrender and let you deal with me."

Tang Ming wasn’t unreasonable and nodded solemnly.
