Chapter 1070: Chapter 774: Reunion with the Leopard Fox! (3)

It’s Xiao Jin.

She’s still alive.

He’s still alive.

Shen Tang’s nose suddenly turned sore, and her eyes turned red in an instant. She bit her lip, forcibly suppressing the sob that almost escaped, while her grip on Lu Xiao’s hand trembled.

Lu Xiao didn’t speak, but gripped her hand tightly, his palm dry and warm, providing a reassuring strength.

"Let’s go." His voice was steady.

The two of them flashed out of the Teleportation Channel, heading toward the direction of the explosion.

The arsenal over there had already turned into a sea of fire. Half of the gray-white buildings were blown apart, with rubble and metal shards scattered all over the ground, and the air filled with the pungent smell of burning and residual energy waves.

The Divine Hall’s army surged from all directions, surrounding the entire stretch of ruins tightly. At least a thousand elites from the Central District formed the guard, and the leading few commanders had a robust aura, all at the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier.

Xiao Jin was trapped in the center of the ruins, wounded but still standing. His whole body was entwined with crackling Thunder, the golden markings on the Black Panther’s fur flickering uncertainly, like a beast driven to the brink.

"Capture him alive!" the leading commander ordered sharply.

The guards swarmed forward.

Xiao Jin let out a low roar; Thunder exploded from within him, blasting the front row of a dozen people away. But there were too many people; as soon as one group fell, another surged forward, endlessly like a tide.

At that moment—

A huge figure descended from the sky, crashing into the center of the guards.

Golden wings unfurled, spanning several yards wide, the gust of air swept surrounding people away. A fierce wind raged through the ruins, lifting rubble and dust, forming tornado after tornado, tearing, tossing, and crushing the advancing guards.

Lu Xiao transformed into his true form, the figure of the Golden Feathered Giant Eagle blocked out the sun, with each feather emitting light.

He soared into the sky, countless Wind Blades flew out from under his wings, densely packed like a torrential downpour, flattening all the surrounding buildings. Rubble and metal fragments swirled in the wind, forming a death storm, leaving nothing alive in its path.

The screams of the guards rose one after another.

The face of the leading commander turned pale, retreating frantically, "Breaking Yuan Rank—! Retreat!"

It was too late.

Lu Xiao dove down, flapped his wings, and a huge golden Light Blade flew out from in front of him, splitting the entire ruin in two. The ground cracked open into a dark abyss, and the surrounding buildings collapsed thunderously, dust covering the sky.

Shen Tang leaped down from Lu Xiao’s back, landing at the highest point of the ruins.

She raised her arms, and the ground beneath her began to tremble violently. Countless stone walls rose from the ground, trapping the scattered fleeing guards in between. Immediately afterward, frost spread from her palm, along the ground, walls, and air, freezing everything visible into ice.

The guards frozen in escape poses maintained their poses like ice sculptures, solidified within the ruins.

Xiao Jin raised his head from the center of the ruins, seeing that familiar figure.

She stood on the highest piece of rubble, her black hair flying in the wind, surrounded by the silver-white glow of frost and spiritual power, like a Goddess descending onto the battlefield.

"Tangtang—"

He transformed back into human form, stumbling as he ran toward her, his voice changed, carrying the tremor of surviving a disaster and the long-repressed longing.

Shen Tang saw him too.

Finally found him.

He’s all right.

Thank goodness.

Her tears gushed out at once, she couldn’t care about anything else, directly jumping off the ruins to run toward him.

They collided amidst the rubble. Xiao Jin scooped her into his arms, holding her so tightly she could barely breathe. He buried his face in her hair, his whole body trembling.

"You’re okay... Thank goodness..." His voice was hoarse beyond recognition, muffled beside her ear, repeating over and over, as if confirming the fact that she’s still alive.

Shen Tang hugged him back fiercely, her tears smeared onto his neck, "You’re the one who’s okay! You scared me to death, do you know that!"

Xiao Jin said nothing, just held her tighter.

At that moment, a fiery red figure darted out from the shadows, landing beside the two.

Shen Li shed his disguise; nine fluffy tails unfolded behind him, and fox ears emerged from his hair, glowing a dark gold in the firelight.

"Tangtang."

Shen Tang peeked out from Xiao Jin’s embrace, seeing that familiar face, becoming completely stunned.

"Brother?!"

Her eyes reddened even more, her voice trembling, releasing Xiao Jin to leap over.

Shen Li caught her, gently patting her back, his mouth curving up, those beautiful fox eyes filled with tenderness.

"How are you here too?" Shen Tang looked up at him, unable to stop her tears from falling, "Are you okay? When did you arrive?"

"The most dangerous place is also the safest place." Shen Li replied with a smile, raising a hand to wipe away her tears, "I’ve been infiltrating the Divine Hall for a while, the Fox Clan excels at disguise and transformation. Since awakening as the Ten-tailed Heavenly Fox, my superpower became stronger, making it hard for those at the same level to see through."

Shen Tang laughed and cried, tugging his sleeve unwilling to let go.

They finally reunited!

More footsteps of pursuers echoed from afar, dark masses of figures surged from all directions, even more than before.

Flying troops in the sky began to assemble as well, surrounding the ruins tightly.

"Alright, let’s not say too much." Shen Li retracted his smile, his expression becoming serious, "It’s not time for a reunion; we need to leave here first."

Lu Xiao reverted to human form, landing beside the three of them, his aura steady, his gaze scanning the approaching pursuers, "Let’s go."

The four exchanged glances, then turned and vanished into the shadows of the ruins.

Behind them were towering flames and blaring alarm sounds, the entire Central District of the Divine Hall turned into chaos.

Shen Li led the way, guiding them through a series of turns, into a concealed passage.

The tunnel was long, winding, with an unknown destination.

Xiao Jin glanced back at Lu Xiao while running, disbelief filling his eyes.

Lu Xiao’s aura had grown far thicker than before, with a calm, extremely oppressive presence, clearly that of someone who had reached the Breaking Yuan Rank. Just now, seeing Lu Xiao single-handedly sweep through an army, the overwhelming strength of his golden wings, that earth-splitting strike, it was hard to believe he was the same person.

"You broke through to the Breaking Yuan Rank?" Xiao Jin couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Xiao nodded slightly, "Mm."

"What about Return Nest? Is it resolved?"

"Resolved."

Xiao Jin was so impressed he was speechless.

Leading the way, Shen Li listened to the conversation behind, with a complex look flashing in his eyes.

In terms of talent alone, Lu Xiao was not considered the most outstanding type. To make it this far, the effort he put in must have exceeded their imagination.

This determination, even he couldn’t help but admire.
