A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 275 Advancement
The snow fell heavily, the cold biting to the bone, and the howling wind cut like sharp blades against the skin, but Xiao Jin seemed oblivious. He held the lifeless female in his arms tightly, lowering his head to kiss her cheeks haphazardly, his lips wet with tears, murmuring again and again in a hoarse voice, "Tangtang..."

"Don't scare me."

"You were just asleep, weren't you?"

His hot, burning chest was like a furnace, trying to transfer his body heat to the female and melt her stiff, cold body.

She gradually broke down in tears, "...Tangtang, wake up, don't sleep."

“I…I’ll take you back.”

No matter what he said or how he tried to save her, the person in his arms never woke up.

Xiao Jin felt as if a thousand sharp blades had pierced his heart, causing blood to gush out and extinguish his hope.

His trembling hands gripped the back of Shen Tang's head tightly, pressing her against his chest. His tears flowed even more freely, large, hot drops falling from his straight nose into her hair.

In an instant, all strength was lost.

Xiao Jin collapsed onto the snow, tightly embracing the female in his arms, and let out a painful, broken roar as he looked up at the sky.

"what!"

Xiao Jin's life was not smooth. He grew up in a slum and was often beaten half to death, but he never uttered a sound.

He risked his life countless times on the battlefield, shedding almost all his blood and sweat, but never shed a single tear.

He was exiled to a polluted area by a single sentence, losing all his past glory. All he thought about was making a comeback; it wasn't a big deal.

For the first time in all his years, Xiao Jin had lost control and wept uncontrollably. His heart ached unbearably, he trembled with pain, and he felt as if he were suffocating.

The only thing he felt fortunate about in his life was meeting Shen Tang. He had someone he truly loved and wanted to protect. But why did it have to be like this?

If she had traded her life for his to wake him up, he would gladly give his life back to her.

Xiao Jin buried his face in Shen Tang's damp hair, holding her in a daze.

He didn't know how long they hugged, until the frost and snow covered them both again, and his stiff body regained feeling, shaking off the snowflakes.

Xiao Jin carried Shen Tang in his arms, got up from the snow, and walked forward.

Chaotic footsteps came from behind.

Thousands of pursuers arrived and surrounded the two.

Among the group were two or three deserters who had seen Xiao Jin hanging at the city gate. When they saw him alive and well, they were astonished, as if they had seen a ghost. "Wasn't this leopard supposed to be dead with its arms and legs cut off? How come he's still standing here alive?"

"How can the dead come back to life? Don't spout nonsense and scare people here!"

"Capture these two wanted criminals and there will be a generous reward!"

The rebels at the city gate were all wiped out. The pursuing troops were transferred from other places and had no idea what had happened.

After Zaxis returned with serious injuries, he issued an arrest warrant, ordering the two men to be brought to justice, whether they were dead or alive!

The leading rebel general roared angrily.
"You two bitches aren't getting away today!"

"Kill them! Avenge our brothers!"

Xiao Jin's stiff fingers twitched slightly as he looked up at the menacing pursuers.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his cold, lifeless gaze sent a shiver down everyone's spine, causing them to instinctively back away.

But this leopard is only a peak eighth-tier orc, while the general present is a ninth-tier orc, and there are several eighth-tier peak deputy generals. Killing him would be a piece of cake!

"Damn it, you're about to die, and you still dare to put on this act to scare whoever you're trying to intimidate? Get him!"

The leading general roared and transformed into a ninth-tier lion, leading his men to charge forward.

Xiao Jin lowered his head and kissed Shen Tang's brow, then pulled her down to lie under the tree, whispering, "Tangtang, I'll kill them now, to be buried with you..."

The moment he finished speaking, his body swelled up, transforming into his true form. The magnificent, long-legged black panther was covered in surging golden lightning power, which surged forth and overturned the charging orcs. He sprang up on all fours, lightning-fast, and engaged the leader, the lion, in a fierce battle.

The black panther's claws were as sharp as blades, slashing the lion's side violently. Blood splattered onto the snow, the crimson color of the blood glaringly bright.

"Roar!" The lion roared in pain, but the black panther took the opportunity to pounce on him and pin him to the ground, suppressing his throat.

The lion, filled with terror, bared its sharp fangs and bit down on the black panther's forepaw.

The black panther seemed oblivious to the pain, even as a piece of flesh was torn off, it relentlessly suppressed him, biting and fighting like a madman.

While the two were locked in a fierce battle, an orc tried to sneak over and snatch the female's body.

Before he could even get close, the black panther instantly turned around and pounced, tearing him to pieces.

The lion escaped unscathed, scrambling to its feet, covered in blood and in a sorry state.

He looked at the black panther, which was also covered in wounds, his eyes bloodshot, and roared through gritted teeth, "Attack together! We must kill him today! This panther is at his last gasp and won't last much longer!"

Xiao Jin gasped for breath, the howling heat melting the falling snowflakes. His muscles were taut, but the pain in his body was nothing compared to the grief in his heart. He had only one thought in his mind: to kill them and avenge Shen Tang!
With bloodshot eyes, he stared at the onrushing rebel army, let out a deep, furious roar that shook the mountains and forests, and threw himself back into the bloody battle.

At the same time, he did not forget to protect the female behind him.

He can't afford to fall down again.

He couldn't protect Shen Tang, and he couldn't let even her body be defiled by this group of people.

He still wants to take her back.

As the bloody battle reached its final moment, an unprecedentedly powerful force suddenly erupted from Xiao Jin's body, almost terrifying.

A powerful and domineering force surged through his body, impacting his flesh and every bone, causing them to crack inch by inch, only to heal rapidly and crack again, with each explosion of pain nearly causing him to faint.

"Roar!!!"

Xiao Jin was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat and let out a long howl. The sound almost shattered the mountains and forests, and it was like a tangible energy wave that swept across the area, sending the pursuing soldiers flying several meters away and snapping several ancient trees in half.

"What terrifying power! What's going on?!"

"He! He advanced?!"

The rebels scrambled to their feet in fear, staring in horror at the black panther standing in the snow. Their bodies surged with energy, shaking away the falling snow.

The strands of golden lightning that enveloped his entire body rapidly evolved into a purplish-gold color, increasing several times in size and becoming even more terrifying and powerful.

The black panther's dark and robust body grew even larger, its claws and teeth became sharper, and golden dark patterns appeared on its body, like flowing lightning filling every inch of its flesh and bones. A golden pattern appeared between its brows, and its dazzling golden eyes were like flowing sunlight, radiating a chilling aura!

His aura suddenly surged.

Breakthrough to the ninth rank!

Yet they are far more terrifying than ordinary ninth-tier orcs, inspiring fear in all who behold them!

Even the ninth-tier lion seemed to feel some kind of suppression inherent in its bloodline. Its pupils dilated, it lost its will to fight, and let out a trembling howl, "Run!"

He tucked his tail between his legs, turned, and ran away.

The other beastmen were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they scrambled to their feet and ran away as fast as they could.

How could Xiao Jin possibly give them a chance to escape? These were all sacrifices meant to accompany Shen Tang in death!
His figure flashed away like lightning, and powerful lightning burst forth, sweeping across the entire area, emitting a deafening thunderous sound and exploding into countless lightning sparks.

After the lightning dissipated.

Thousands of corpses lay scattered on the ground.

The entire field was wiped out; no one escaped.

　I'll go to sleep later.
