[System, unbind.]
Deep in the distant dense forest, Shen Tang appeared completely unhard. She had removed the "Thousand Faces" mask, restoring her original appearance.
She touched her smooth cheek, thinking that her own face felt more comfortable. Wearing the mask these days, she was afraid that dog man Necro would discover her true identity; she didn’t dare take it off for a single second, and it almost gave her acne from being covered for so long.
A flash of white light returned the Substitute Doll to her hand. Unfortunately, there was a small hole pierced in the chest area, but luckily it wasn’t completely shattered; it could still be used later with a bit of covering up.
Indeed, it was only the Substitute Doll that "died" in the chaos of battle.
The battlefield was too chaotic at the ti, so Shen Tang seized the opportunity to swap identities with the Substitute and create the illusion of death.
The system asked in confusion, [Doesn’t the host hate Necro? You’ve always wanted to kill him, wouldn’t his death be just right? Why did you save him in the end?]
Shen Tang replied, "Do you think Necro is so easy to kill? The opposing side sent Tenth Rank experts several tis to kill him, and each ti they were utterly defeated, yet he still survives just fine?"
"Besides, those people said they wanted to capture him alive. What they want is a living Blood Clan mber. Even if I didn’t send out the Doll to intercept that blow, he wouldn’t have died."
"I happened to need an opportunity to escape, so why not take this chance to earn a favor by saving his life?"
Although the process didn’t quite match her expectations, the outco still satisfied her needs.
Let’s leave it at that.
The situation at the ti was urgent, and she couldn’t think of a better solution.
The system remarked, [Host, your move is just like that crafty fox’s, absolutely brilliant!]
Shen Tang retorted, "...Are you looking for a fight?"
[No, no! But host, this trip was truly worthwhile. You succeeded in killing Shen Qingli, defeating the enemy system, found out about the Blood Clan, secretly racked up so rewards, and even made Necro promise to retreat his forces! This round, you killed three birds with one stone, you truly hit the jackpot!]
Shen Tang gazed into the distance. She was already several hundred kiloters away from the Blood Clan’s forbidden grounds, unable to see anything.
Xiao Cui Hua was dead, leaving only Shen Tang in this world.
If Necro truly felt guilty because of this, she hoped he wouldn’t forget his promise to withdraw his troops.
Shen Tang collected her emotions, just about to instruct the system to teleport her back to her Beast Husband when she suddenly felt a fierce killing intent!
Her face drastically changed as an urgent system alert sounded in her mind, [Not good, host! Watch out behind you!]
Having abandoned her disguise with no risk of identity exposure, Shen Tang no longer hid her true strength. She raised her hand to summon a sturdy earth wall, blocking the attack.
But the earth wall lasted only a few seconds before crumbling to pieces.
She swiftly dodged the attack, her eyes coldly fixed on several shadows rushing out of the forest.
The figures were cloaked in black, hiding their faces, but emanated the sa strong and familiar aura as those who had surrounded Necro before.
How did they track her here? Were they after her?
They pursued Necro to obtain the Blood Clan’s bloodline. What would they want with a female like her?
The leader of the black-cloaked figures held a device resembling a compass, the needle firmly pointing in Shen Tang’s direction.
Shen Tang’s face darkened as confusion gripped her—it was this device that led them to her? But why did the needle point to her? Did she possess sothing they wanted?
Shen Tang couldn’t comprehend it, but these black-clothed figures seed intent on explaining nothing.
The leader imdiately issued an order, "We’ve found the person we’re looking for—that’s her!"
"Capture this female, and destroy the system on her!"
System?!
They actually knew she had a system!
Shen Tang was hit by a wave of horror, her body breaking out in cold sweat beyond her control. Who were these people really, and how did they know about the system’s existence?
The black-clothed figures launched their attack, their energy nets suppressing even the system’s capabilities, making the teleportation function temporarily unusable. Shen Tang was forced to engage in battle.
Initially, the black-cloaked figures didn’t regard her highly, but as they battled, they realized that this female was quite tricky—she was actually of Peak of Ninth Rank strength!
Previously, they wouldn’t have cared. Unfortunately, their abilities were suppressed to below Tenth Rank in this area. Coupled with Shen Tang’s plethora of superpowers, from the Healing Ability that allowed her to recover at any ti, to the indefensible spiritual power and space ability, eliminating her quickly proved more troubleso than expected.
Still, Shen Tang was rely a Beastman yet to break through to Tenth Rank, significantly weaker than they were. With the opponents outnumbering her, she soon found herself struggling to hold on.
She imdiately pulled out the Superpower Breaking Potion from the system’s backpack and drank it.
[Host, forcing a breakthrough now is too risky!] The system exclaid in panic.
But Shen Tang couldn’t worry about that at the mont.
After drinking the potion, a powerful force coursed through her body, her limbs and bones feeling as though a flood had washed over them; her body seed on the verge of exploding, her aura growing wild!
The black-cloaked figures on-site were stunned.
"She’s forcing a breakthrough!" soone shouted, "Kill her quickly!"
The black-cloaked figures charged again.
The next mont, a powerful force exploded from the female’s body, pushing them back several ters.
They showed disbelief on their faces.
This female had broken through—she successfully advanced to the Tenth Rank!
Shen Tang sensed the swelling power within her, deeply aware of the difference between Ninth Rank and Tenth Rank—a qualitative leap!
Her eyes sharpened with murderous intent as she once again gathered her superpower to fight against these attackers.
Boom!
Rocks crumbled on-site, the ground trembling faintly, birds and beasts fleeing in all directions.
Even at Tenth Rank strength, Shen Tang’s superpowers were bizarre and changeable, and she managed to battle four opponents simultaneously without falling behind!
Finding her opportunity, she ford a spiritual power blade and suddenly pierced the chest of one Beastman, taking his life!
Damn!
The remaining black-cloaked figures, now bearing multiple injuries, realized they’d underestimated this female; had they known, they would’ve brought more troops.
"Looks like we have to use that."
They watched as the leading Beastman took out a transparent sphere and lobbed it toward her.
Shen Tang mistook it for a bomb, slashing out an attack hoping to shatter it.
However, as soon as her attack touched the transparent sphere, the sphere suddenly expanded, enclosing her like a barrier.
The barrier resembled transparent glass made from so unknown material. Though Shen Tang unleashed attacks trying to shatter it, she found it untouchable.
Shen Tang suddenly recalled the last ti in the laboratory when Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin were trapped by the sa thing.
Her face turned grave, unleashing frantic attacks to break the transparent barrier.
Even if her attacks left faint cracks on the barrier, ti was against her.
Dark green smoke sprayed inside the transparent barrier.
Inhaling this strange smoke, Shen Tang staggered, her vision gradually blurred to near unconsciousness.
She covered her mouth and nose to avoid breathing, but the smoke even penetrated through her skin pores.
"System, is the teleportation function repaired? Take away quickly!" Shen Tang pleaded to the system.
But she suddenly realized that ever since being confined within the transparent barrier, the system seed to have vanished, it hadn’t said a word.
No response no matter how she called.
Shen Tang abruptly rembered the words of the black-clothed figures—they wanted to destroy the system.
Could it be that the system really has... disappeared?
