An unknown amount of time passed before the sound of breathing filled the room once more. Gu Yue leaned weakly against Kong Mingan's chest, her eyes hazy as she took small, quick breaths. After a while, she regained some strength and pushed against his chest, sitting up slightly to look at him. "This time... that's enough, right?"
Kong Mingan blinked and gave her a slight nod. Gu Yue immediately felt a sense of relief in her heart. She truly felt like she needed to make a run for it. If she didn't leave now, and this guy got interested again in a bit, she might really never be able to leave.
Her body seemed to be becoming stranger and more out of control in front of him. Although she knew this was only a matter of time, her rationality still told her she couldn't fall too deep.
Gathering a bit of strength to leave, Gu Yue prepared to get up. However, in the next moment, Kong Mingan pulled his arm back, drawing her back into his embrace. Her body stiffened as she looked at him, uncertain of what he wanted to do. Surely... he didn't want to do it again?
Gu Yue's heart was filled with apprehension.
However, Kong Mingan only adjusted his posture so she could lean more comfortably in his arms. He then waved his hand in the air, and a clear light screen appeared out of thin air, floating in front of them. "Watch a show with me for a bit?"
Gu Yue was somewhat puzzled. Following his gaze, she saw a figure frantically fleeing.
"This is..."
Kong Mingan said with interest, "Tang San."
Inside the light screen, the image was clear. Tang San's face was visible, but he no longer had his former appearance. Instead, he had become cold and distorted. His skin had an unhealthy pallor, carrying a distinct non-human quality. His eyes were red as blood, and traces of blood that hadn't been wiped clean remained at the corners of his mouth. His entire body emitted a thick, wicked Aura.
At this moment, he was frantically fleeing through a dark alleyway, looking wretched.
Behind him, several figures dressed in the uniforms of the Star Luo City Guard were in hot pursuit. These people were clearly Spirit Master experts specifically sent to capture him. A look of madness flashed in Tang San's eyes as he narrowly dodged a soul tool shell. The shockwave from the explosion sent him staggering, but he didn't have time to adjust his footing. Without looking back, the spirit power inside Tang San's body erupted recklessly. Enduring the pain of his Meridians being torn, he once again performed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. With a turn of his body, he continued to flee. However, sensing the figures constantly closing in behind him, Tang San's expression became increasingly ugly.
This evening, he had gone out to hunt as usual. Following his habitual method, he chose a back alley of a random tavern and waited silently. A target soon appeared, but just as he revealed himself and prepared to strike, that target instantly deployed their Spirit and attacked him directly. Furthermore, the City Guard, who had been lying in ambush nearby, also showed themselves and swarmed forward in an attempt to capture him on the spot. Had he not relied on his Paragon Golden Body to block the first wave of attacks and then decisively performed a Ring Explosion, using the powerful boost it provided to barely break through the encirclement and escape here, he would have been caught. Seeing the pursuers closing in behind him, the madness in Tang San's eyes became even more apparent. He absolutely could not be pinned down!
As these thoughts flashed through Tang San's mind, he saw another interception ahead. Without any hesitation, he triggered another Ring Explosion!
Boom!
With the support of violent Energy, the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand, covered in blood-red patterns, grew with the wind and then slammed down fiercely!
Boom—!
The ground shook, and a two-story building nearby collapsed, kicking up clouds of dust. Tang San didn't hesitate for a second. He turned his body, stomped his foot hard, and quickly darted in another direction, then ducked directly into a dark corner filled with clutter.
Just after Tang San's figure disappeared, the dust was directly dispersed. Several figures landed, looking left and right. Confirming no one was there, they flew out again. Tang San remained motionless, leaning against the cold wall and holding his breath. He carefully observed the situation outside until he was sure the pursuers had been temporarily lured away. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, but he immediately turned to continue his escape. Having been chased all the way, he knew how difficult these pursuers were. His diversion would only mislead them for a dozen seconds at most; they would discover something was wrong in a moment. Therefore, he had to keep running before they could completely form an encirclement.
Dammit... I've really been set up. It's all the main body's fault!
After habitually complaining about the main body in his heart, Tang San prepared to continue his escape. Then suddenly, a dark shadow appeared silently by his side like a Gui Mei. Tang San's eyes sharpened, and he immediately went on guard, the Clear Sky Hammer held in his hand with the blood-red patterns on the hammer's body glowing. The newcomer let out a low, light laugh, his voice raspy. "Relax, kid. We're the same kind."
As he spoke, the spirit power around him fluctuated slightly, and eight spirit rings unfolded. Black mist filled the air behind him, and an Aura similar to Tang San's current Spirit, yet deeper and more chaotic and evil, spread out. An Evil Soul Master... Tang San immediately frowned, instantly identifying the other's status as an Evil Soul Master. He had no good feelings toward Evil Soul Masters. One must know that not long ago, it was because of an assassination attempt by an Evil Soul Master that his Spirit had developed problems. Therefore, all Evil Soul Masters deserved to die!
What? He was an Evil Soul Master too?
Heh... how could that be the same!
Tang San said warily, "Who are you, and what do you want?"
The newcomer didn't seem to care about his guardedness and said quickly, "Nice reaction. However, the surroundings have already been blockaded by Star Luo's lackeys. It will be very difficult if you want to force your way out. Don't worry, I'm just here to take you away from this place of trouble."
Tang San frowned, feeling that something was wrong. However, the man had no intention of continuing to explain. He directly approached and grabbed Tang San's arm, and both their figures instantly vanished.
Tang San felt countless images flash before his eyes. Finally, his consciousness returned, and he regained his senses. He subconsciously looked around on guard, only to find that he had come to a high place. Looking left and right, he determined that he was currently on the city walls of Star Luo City. "What exactly do you want to do!"
Tang San opened his mouth to question, but in the next moment, a cold spirit power surged in, locking away his spirit power along with his ability to speak. The Black-robed man let go, his expression flat. "Just watch quietly. I'll explain what's going on when we get back."
As he spoke, the Black-robed man looked toward a certain direction outside Star Luo City. Tang San frowned, wanting to do something more, but in the next moment...
Boom, boom, boom—!
Earth-shattering explosions rang out one after another. Tang San snapped his head around to look outside the city. Beneath the pitch-black sky, a massive crimson vortex formed by countless grudges and blood-qi suddenly appeared!
Inside that crimson vortex, countless blood-red Puppets with distorted bodies emitting terrifying Auras struggled to crawl out, letting out ear-piercing shrieks. Then, almost at the same time, a blood-red giant as towering as a mountain rose from the ground. Its body was majestic, its heart thrumming and booming, carrying a violent Aura that could incinerate everything. Without any hesitation, the blood-red giant took a step and, with a hideous, wild laugh, reached toward the vortex!
