Chapter 191: Trying To Kill Your Husband?
This decision was made in a flash. Asura's identity should be mysterious to Mei Gongzi. Back then, he looked completely different from now. Approaching Mei Gongzi using Asura's identity right now was naturally inappropriate. That identity was key to protecting her from the shadows and acting at critical moments.
But Tang San naturally wished to be with her every moment. Therefore, he swiftly made some changes to his plan.
“Humans? A human with two demonic bloodlines? How have I never heard of this?” Mei Gongzi’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing within them.
She could naturally tell that Tang San had previously used two abilities. One was similar to the Wind Astral of the Winged Tigers. The other was the ability to control plants. Dual bloodlines!
Dual bloodlines were not unheard of among demons and nymphs, but they were very rare. In addition, such dual bloodlines were usually weaker than purebloods. These beings were also known as mixed-blood demons or nymphs and were not highly regarded. After all, let alone mixed-blood humans, even demons and nymphs with mixed bloodlines rarely reached beyond the sixth order.
Tang San's mouth twitched slightly. Just now, to save his life, he could not care about concealing his strength. He didn't use Leopard Flash, fearing that his identity as Asura would be exposed.
“Yes, that’s right. I have two bloodlines.” As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and on his palm, orange light patterns surged, displaying the Orange Class mark of the Redemption Society.
When Mei Gongzi was willing to talk to him, Tang San knew that she would no longer attack him and that he didn't need to reveal too much of his abilities anymore. Instead, the identity of Redemption was the best means of saving his life.
"Orange?" Sure enough, upon seeing the orange mark, Mei Gongzi visibly relaxed a bit, and the energy she was emanating grew softer.
"Was this attack arranged by you? What was the purpose?" Mei Gongzi asked indifferently.
Tang San replied, "The purpose was to use your team’s power to kill the winged tigers while we reap the spoils."
He intentionally made his demeanor more respectful.
"Do you know my identity?" Mei Gongzi said softly.
At that moment, Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted; without hesitation, his hands swiftly clapped in front of him, and the Wind Astral exploded, propelling his body backward like a cannonball.
He knew he was in trouble.
Mei Gongzi's blue-level identity in the Redemption Society was a great secret, not something an Orange Class member like him could know. He wanted to explain quickly, but Mei Gongzi didn't give him the chance to explain and attacked directly.
As the Wind Astral shattered, Tang San saw something like a giant peacock quietly spreading its tail feathers before him. Everything around him became stagnant, and all space seemed to fold upon itself, blurring the line between reality and illusion. The countless dense layers of space sliced toward him with their unparalleled sharp aura.
Tang San had rarely felt such a bitter taste in his mouth.
Without a doubt, Mei Gongzi intended to kill him. And with his current strength, he simply couldn't withstand this strike.
He desperately wanted to tell Mei Gongzi, My dear, do you realize you're attempting to murder your husband?
He never expected that he would have to use the divine consciousness, which he had been saving precisely to be able to reach and help Mei Gongzi, against her of all people.
Well, if he didn't use it, dying at the hands of his wife would be quite the irony.
In this life-threatening moment, there was no room for hesitation. Tang San's eyes suddenly brightened, a strange brilliance blossoming in his gaze.
It was a soft golden hue, the strange gold flickering with a faint halo. At that instant, memories of his past life swirled in his mind, and his gaze became ethereal yet filled with warmth.
Staring at the lethal folded space, he slowly raised his right hand, making a grasping motion in the void.
As if sensing something, the folded space momentarily stagnated.
Then, an explosive roar suddenly erupted. "SHOW MERCY!"
Tang San's grasping motion and the folded space approaching him halted simultaneously.
Immediately following, a mass of intense firelight forcefully squeezed through, and fierce flames rose, enveloping Tang San and protecting him within.
The blue glow receded like a tide, revealing Mei Gongzi's figure. At this moment, her eyes held a trace of bewilderment mixed with a touch of strange brilliance.
Zhang Haoxuan stood in front of Tang San, gasping for breath. So damn close! Just a bit later and it would have been catastrophic!
If he had been one second late, his beloved disciple, the child upon whom he had placed his greatest hopes, might have been torn apart by his own people.
Mei Gongzi fixed her gaze upon Zhang Haoxuan.
"Don't misunderstand. He's one of our own. He's my disciple," Zhang Haoxuan explained urgently.
Mei Gongzi's brows furrowed slightly, and the confusion in her eyes faded as she spoke softly, "Is he supposed to know my security level because he’s your disciple?"
Zhang Haoxuan's thoughts raced. He immediately understood that Tang San must have revealed his Orange Class mark to Mei Gongzi. Naturally, she believed that revealing his Redemption identity to her meant he knew that she was also part of the Redemption Society.
"It's my fault. He is my only disciple, and I have high hopes for him, so I told him some secrets. I told him because I was worried about a clash between you when he encountered you at the academy. I will accept punishment from the organization for this."
"The academy? He's also at Kali Academy?" Mei Gongzi's eyes sparkled, but this time without a hint of murderous intent.
Zhang Haoxuan quickly nodded in acknowledgment, pulling Tang San from behind him.
The golden light in Tang San's eyes had faded; his back was ice-cold, and he was drenched in cold sweat. So damn close!
At that moment, his divine consciousness had nearly erupted.
Upon hearing Zhang Haoxuan's voice, he had already begun to rein in his divine consciousness; otherwise, it would have been too late. With Zhang Haoxuan's intervention, even if Mei Gongzi's spatial power hit him, she could retract her power as long as he didn't die instantly. With his teacher present, his life was undoubtedly safe.
What puzzled him, however, was that he had sensed Mei Gongzi withdrawing her spatial power before Zhang Haoxuan's voice emerged. Although she completely deactivated her power only after that, it was clear that she had .
Zhang Haoxuan slapped the back of Tang San's head. "Take off your mask and let Mei Gongzi see your face."
This kid doesn't make things easy for his master. The consequences would have been unthinkable if he had arrived just one moment later.
Tang San felt helpless. I am a God King, and you dare to slap me like that!
He removed the mask from his face, revealing his actual appearance.
When Mei Gongzi saw him, she was momentarily stunned and couldn’t help but blink a few times. In that instant, she seemed less cold.
“I see, so this is who you are?”
"Yes, it is me," Tang San nodded and said with a bitter smile.
Mei Gongzi looked at him and then at Zhang Haoxuan. She walked towards the two intact eighth-order Wing Tigers. Approaching one, she raised her hand and tapped the tiger's forehead. Immediately, a wondrous space power rippled. Indistinctly, Tang San could discern a vortex-like space in the palm of Mei Gongzi, extracting the spatial power from within the Wing Tigers.
The eighth-order Winged Tiger's body went limp the next instant, but it still had a faint breath. It wasn't dead!
The other tiger was treated similarly. Then, both eighth-order Winged Tigers were taken into Mei Gongzi's storage pouch.
Then she turned to Zhang Haoxuan and said, "This should not happen again."
"Yes," Zhang Haoxuan respectfully bowed to her.
Mei Gongzi glanced at Tang San, and then her figure flickered and disappeared into the forest's depths.
Tang San's gaze remained on her until she vanished from sight.
