Although Dong Xia remained calm, Tang Rao still caught a fleeting glimpse of panic in the depths of her eyes.
Tang Rao had always suspected Dong Xia's identity, as well as her strength.
Dong Xia's actions, although seemingly harmless to him, were only on the surface and in aspects visible to Tang Rao.
In places Tang Rao couldn't see, what she did was completely unknown to him.
As for guessing Dong Xia's strength, it was rely Tang Rao's speculation.
He had encountered many Half-step Great Perfection cultivators, but none gave him the sa feeling as Dong Xia.
Dong Xia exhibited the aura of a Half-step Great Perfection, yet Tang Rao always felt this aura was oddly artificial, as if deliberately mimicked.
However, he couldn't solely rely on this to confirm that Dong Xia was a Great Perfection cultivator.
His great suspicion arose after he t Li Shengxuan.
The feeling Li Shengxuan gave him was very similar to that of Dong Xia. Li Shengxuan's simulated commoner aura closely resembled the Half-step Great Perfection aura from Dong Xia.
And Li Shengxuan, without a doubt, was a Great Perfection cultivator, and even stronger.
"Let guess again, are you... the Soul Capturing Pavilion Master?" Tang Rao squinted, his fingers lightly tapping the tabletop.
Dong Xia remained composed, also looking at Tang Rao.
The two of them stared at each other, neither speaking for a full ten minutes.
"Silence is dull. If you wish to remain silent, I can only assu you admit to being the Soul Capturing Pavilion Master. If that's really the case, I'm sorry, but next ti we et, we may have to confront each other with weapons," Tang Rao said icily.
Claiming Dong Xia was the Soul Capturing Pavilion Master was a wild guess without any basis.
But if his guess turned out to be right, then he truly needed to bid farewell to Dong Xia.
Soul Capturing Pavilion Master... Hmm...
"I am not," Dong Xia finally spoke, "I am not the Soul Capturing Pavilion Master."
"Then, are you a Great Perfection cultivator?"
"Yes." Dong Xia no longer kept it hidden.
"Since when?"
"Tang Rao..."
"Speak!"
"Ten years ago..."
Bang!
The next mont, Tang Rao ferociously smashed the stone table in front of him, his entire deanor and face beca terrifying.
"Ten years ago! Ten years ago! Why didn't you save Ajiu!" Tang Rao roared, his tone chilling.
"Tang Rao, I have told you, the matter with Ajiu is far more complicated than you think. Moreover, I was constrained at that ti, I had my difficulties..."
"Xiao Hei, should I kill her?" Beside them, Li Shengxuan looked at Tang Rao.
Seeing Tang Rao's twisted expression, Li Shengxuan was angry, almost losing control.
She disliked this woman called Dong Xia, greatly disliked.
Tang Rao glanced at Li Shengxuan and then shook his head.
"Tell everything you know." Tang Rao looked back at Dong Xia, fists clenched.
"I... can't say."
"Xiao Xuan, let's go." Tang Rao stood up directly.
"Tang Rao, listen to , I..."
"Dong Xia, from now on, I, Tang Rao, will have nothing to do with you ever again. We're completely cutting ties." Tang Rao said darkly, throwing out his words.
Then he turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.
"Stop right there!" Dong Xia suddenly roared, "Tang Rao, can you calm down? Do you think I don't want to save you or save Ajiu? If I could, do you think I would just watch you being hard, watch you almost dying? Aren't you smart? Why don't you think about it!"
"I have thought a lot. If you are unwilling to talk, then never speak of it again. Do you know what I hate the most? It's people like you, always hiding things and saying nothing. Claiming it's for my own good, bullsh*t." Tang Rao cursed.
"Tang Rao, don't force ..." Dong Xia took a deep breath, her tone growing colder.
"Force you? Ridiculous!" Tang Rao suddenly turned back, "Xiao Xuan, break one of her arms."
"Okay."
Upon receiving Tang Rao's command, Li Shengxuan nodded and then suddenly pointed a finger.
Space twisted, everything folded; at this mont, everything stopped, the whole world as if experiencing nurous annihilations and rebirths.
"Ptui!" A flash of cold light, and Dong Xia's left arm was cut off instantly, dropping to the ground with a snap, blood spurting and engulfing the air in a mist of blood.
Dong Xia stood there foolishly, staring at Li Shengxuan, then looked down at her severed left arm, completely stunned.
She... she is a Cultivator at Great Perfection.
Why, why didn't she even see the opponent's move, she didn't even know what happened.
"Xiao Xuan, let's go." Tang Rao glanced at Dong Xia, grabbed Li Shengxuan's hand, and strode away.
...
It wasn't until the figures of Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan were no longer visible that Dong Xia ca to her senses, sowhat dazedly picking up her severed arm and reattaching it.
Who exactly is this Li Shengxuan? Strong to an extent she couldn't comprehend.
Could it be... soone from the Land of Immortals?
But how could a person from the Land of Immortals enter here? Even if they had an avatar, at most it would be at Great Perfection. Once it surpassed Great Perfection, it would imdiately be crushed by the rules.
Moreover, with such powerful strength, why would Li Shengxuan obey Tang Rao's commands?
Nothing makes sense, what on earth is going on!
Dong Xia suddenly realized, she knew too little about Tang Rao, no... she never really understood him.
Of course, what made Dong Xia feel the most suffocated was that Tang Rao said he hated her...
"Tang Rao... I really, I've always been trying to help you." Dong Xia lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
...
"Xiao Hei, I hate Dong Xia, why didn't you let kill her directly?" Li Shengxuan gritted her teeth, following behind Tang Rao.
"She has her difficulties." Tang Rao stopped, looking towards Dong Xia's residence, his eyes filled with regret, "I'm sorry, Dong Xia."
Li Shengxuan was a bit puzzled. Just now, Tang Rao was so angry that he almost wanted to kill Dong Xia. How co he was apologizing now?
"It's not easy for her. Perhaps this way, she will be safer. I need to save Ajiu, I will offend many people, many powerful people, I don't want her to risk her life because of ," Tang Rao said softly.
"So you an, you did it on purpose…" Although Li Shengxuan didn't know who Ajiu was, she understood Tang Rao's intention.
"Alright Xiao Xuan, let's end this matter here, let's go. From now on, Xiao Hei, I will rely on you for protection, please ensure my safety, don't let the bad guys harm ," Tang Rao said.
"Why aren't you afraid of dragging down?" Li Shengxuan pouted.
"We share life and death, you protect now, I will help you take revenge in the future. Don't worry, once I beco powerful, I'll cover you!" Tang Rao draped an arm over Li Shengxuan's shoulders and said.
"Alright, that's also good. Anyway, I'm not afraid of being dragged down by you, you are my benefactor, I'm willing to die for you," Li Shengxuan said seriously.
Tang Rao opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
