A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 157 Breakthrough
The black-clad man's aura surged several times over, his strength becoming unfathomable. Even when Shen Tang tried to kill Xue Yinzhou back then, she had never sensed such a terrifying aura!

This is a genuine ninth-tier orc, not like the one who was on drugs back then!

One of his large hands transformed into a sharp, black claw, piercing the air as it swung down heavily.

Xueyinzhou's hard snake tail was instantly torn apart, revealing five deep bloody gashes, and it rolled on the ground in pain.

"Xueyinzhou!"

Shen Tang called out anxiously.

At this moment, Shen Tang put aside all past grievances and only hoped that nothing would happen to him, otherwise she would be the next to suffer.

The man in black looked at the star-crossed lovers, his smile growing even more arrogant. "Don't be afraid, little beauty. Once I've dealt with this troublesome fellow, it'll be your turn soon!"

Xue Yinzhou didn't turn around, but only said, "Don't be afraid, you'll be fine."

The two engaged in another fierce battle.

The earth-shattering commotion almost shattered the space itself.

In the clash between the two powerful figures, Shen Tang didn't even have a chance to get close.

She wanted to help Xue Yinzhou, but the earth spikes she condensed were instantly crushed by the shockwaves generated by the collision of the two forces, preventing her from joining the battle.

Xue Yinzhou's strength at the peak of the eighth rank was ultimately inferior to that of the ninth rank.

His magnificent silver-white tuxedo was completely torn apart, and his jade-like naked body was covered with bloody wounds. His lower half of the snake tail was torn to shreds, with most of its scales scattered.

He didn't even utter a groan of pain; his brows furrowed slightly as he stared intently at the man in black opposite him.

The man in black was completely covered up, so no wounds could be seen, but his violently heaving chest revealed that he was not in good condition, though he was much better than Xue Yinzhou.

He tilted his head, clenched his fists, which cracked loudly, and his voice grew increasingly sinister and terrifying, "Damn it, I underestimated you!"

Despite being only one level apart, she managed to hold him off for so long!

With this serpent beast's talent and strength, its future is undoubtedly limitless.

But today, having encountered him, and even attempting to oppose him, he won't be leaving here alive!

This formidable enemy, which is not yet fully developed, must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will pose an even greater threat to "them" in the future!

Shen Tang looked worriedly at the heavily injured Xue Yinzhou, realizing that he was also at his limit and no match for his opponent.

Her throat bobbed, and she said hoarsely, "You don't need to do this."

Shen Tang admitted that when she saw Xue Yinzhou appear in the space, many bad guesses flashed through her mind, but at this moment, even she, who was slow to realize, could see that Xue Yinzhou was protecting her.

But, why?
She whispered, "He wanted to kill me, it has nothing to do with you."

"I'm already divorced from you, you don't need to protect me anymore."

The fact that Xue Yinzhou was able to tear through space to get here means that he can still leave.

But if he continues fighting like this, he will be seriously injured and exhausted, and he may really be unable to leave.

At that time, neither of them will be able to escape, and they will have no choice but to go to the underworld together.

She was terrified of dying.

But it's better for one to die than two.

Xue Yinzhou swayed slightly, seemingly unable to bear the pain; his clear, cold voice was hoarse and weak.
"In that case, what I want to do is none of your business!"

"you……"

After finishing his sentence, Xue Yinzhou ignored Shen Tang and continued fighting with the man in black.

Even if she no longer acknowledges him as her beastly husband.

Then he was also her loyal follower.

The first principle of a suicide squad is to protect the safety of their master.

As Shen Tang watched Xue Yinzhou's wounds worsen, revealing glimpses of bone, she grew increasingly anxious. She couldn't understand why he was being so stubborn, nor could she comprehend what this snake-beast was thinking all day long.

He tried to kill her several times back then, but now he's risking his life to save her. What's he after?
Her death is exactly what he wanted, isn't it?
Shen Tang was too lazy to care about anything else now; she was only worried that Xue Yinzhou would really be killed by the men in black.

He was clearly outmatched; a large pool of blood snaked out from beneath the snake's tail. Shen Tang wanted to find an opportunity to treat him as soon as possible; perhaps, the two of them still had a chance to escape.

But their fight could not be stopped.

The man in black would absolutely not give the two a chance to receive treatment.

On the contrary, if Shen Tang were to reveal her healing abilities again, it might excite the men in black even more, making them want to possess her even more!
The man in black had clearly grown tired of playing around. With a powerful punch, he slammed Xue Yinzhou to the ground, causing the ground to sink several meters deep.

Half of the snake's tail drooped on the ground, almost motionless.

Shen Tang's face was pale, and she stopped breathing.

The man in black turned to look at her, and with a deathly gait, laughed as he approached, "Little beauty, now it's your turn!"

Suddenly, the silver-white snake tail was covered with purple-gold patterns, and the surrounding energy surged wildly.

This sudden turn of events shocked the man in black. He abruptly stopped and turned to look, only to see Xue Yinzhou climbing out of the pit.

They're still alive?!

The man was covered in wounds, his long silver hair stained red with blood, looking like a deadly demon.

Most terrifyingly, his aura surged, breaking through the peak of the eighth rank and leaping into the ninth rank in one fell swoop!
The man in black was filled with horror and disbelief.

He snapped out of his daze and cursed under his breath. He was too lazy to fight Xue Yinzhou anymore and wanted to deal with Shen Tang as soon as possible, so he left.

But the next second, Xue Yinzhou appeared in front of him like a ghost and punched him hard in the face, sending him flying several meters away, crashing into a stone wall and being buried by the rubble.

"Cough cough, damn it!"

The man in black crawled out of the ruins in a disheveled state.

Another thick, long snake tail swept him away, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string once again.

The man in black was also a veteran with rich combat experience. He quickly stabilized his body in the air and landed. In a flash, he appeared behind Shen Tang and used his fist to form a claw, stabbing fiercely at her heart.

The female figure suddenly vanished, leaving a deep crater in the ground.

Damn it, it's earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth).

The man in black cursed inwardly, but before he could capture the fleeing Shen Tang, Xue Yinzhou attacked again, blocking his intention.

Both were at the ninth level and were evenly matched in their fight.

Even the black-clad man was somewhat afraid and unable to defeat Xue Yinzhou because of his strange abilities.

His mysterious black robe was torn apart inch by inch, revealing his body.

Xue Yinzhou seized the opportunity and ripped off his black robe, wanting to see who he really was.

The man in black was clearly flustered, and with a loud "bang!", a powerful energy surge erupted.

Xue Yinzhou was knocked back several meters, his black robe fell to the ground, and he disappeared without a trace.

Just ran away?
Shen Tang didn't expect the other party to run away so quickly. This was a space he had created, so escaping would be too easy for him. He probably wouldn't be able to find it now.

Fortunately, his life was no longer in danger.

As the man in black left, cracks appeared in the space like a mirror, and things began to crumble.

Shen Tang's face lit up with joy. She turned to look at Xue Yinzhou, who had his back to her. Her feelings were complicated, but no matter what, he had saved her this time.

Shen Tang mustered her courage and stepped forward, wanting to thank Xue Yinzhou.

But the next second, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression changing drastically!

This is a follow-up update from last night.
