Was there any order in the Purple Moon era? There was! However, it was only built on strength and served the powerful.
In this era where survival was the priority, etiquette was broken. Even if people wanted to establish the old civilization's law and order, they were powerless to do so.
Those who were slightly knowledgeable knew that etiquette and order could not restrain the powerful or even the common people.
In this world, there was not a single faction that could provide real stability for the common people. They did not have to worry about food every day and did not have to worry about the future.
Since they could not live and work in peace, what else could they use to follow etiquette? Moral sense? Never underestimate the frailty of human nature.
Therefore, the main theme of the Purple Moon era was the chaotic law of the jungle.
Without the restraint of etiquette, how much morality would the people have left? No one dared to make such an assessment.
Tang Ling was being targeted, so it was only natural for everyone to leave.
What was the highest rule of the Purple Moon era? To live!
"How would Tang Ling feel now?" Lancaster wiped the blood off his mouth and stood in front of the crowd, looking at Tang Ling's back from afar.
Is the disaster of this voyage finally over? Lancaster did not expect that he would fight to such an extent again.
In the next moment, he was ready to leave.
In this era, no one could criticize anyone for doing anything for the sake of survival. If they had not been so persistent, humans would have gone extinct after the Purple Moon Catastrophe descended.
If there was a bottom line, it would be that one's actions should not be against humanity.
However, for some reason, Lancaster felt sad for Tang Ling, so he was eager to know what Tang Ling was thinking about.
After knowing what Tang Ling was thinking, he calmed the unfamiliar emotion in his heart — guilt.
Why should he feel guilty? What was the only comfort in this era? It was the gods that evolved humans to the point where they no longer resembled humans, yet they did not strip away the emotions in their hearts.
Love, family, and a few other emotions could only be built on the naive friendship of childhood.
Therefore, in this cruel era, people could only feel a little warmth in the dark night because they had a lover, a family, and a friend.
Therefore, the feeling of guilt could only be given to the people around them. Why would it be given to Tang Ling?
He was not a family, so he was not a friend either. Besides, in order to survive, there was no need to feel guilty.
Lancaster looked at his palm. The blood was reminding him that it was time to leave. He had lost his bet on Tang Ling.
What about himself? Be it the gains from the Nirvana Giant Pagoda or the advancement resources, it meant that he had a bright future ahead of him.
Only the living can bear the responsibility, right?
"Then, I'd better thank Tang Ling before I leave." No matter how natural it was, Lancaster could not avoid the emotions in his heart. In fact, these emotions were getting more and more turbulent. He decided to leave in a way that he could accept.
"Thank you, Tang Ling. But I have to … "Just as Lancaster made up his mind, a voice rang out.
Lancaster abruptly raised his head and found that Liszt had already led his men to a broken but still usable ship and left silently.
It should be expected that Liszt would be the first to do so. Everyone knew about the grudge between him and Tang Ling. If it were not for the fact that they had no other choice, they would not have fought together.
However, Liszt's way of doing so gave everyone a way out, so after Liszt did so, some of the young men stepped up and left.
Lancaster looked at the scene and sighed softly.
He never thought of using Liszt's inevitable departure as a way out. Maybe because of the complicated feelings in his heart, even someone as smart as him did not think about it.
"More or less, everyone is a little ashamed. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to wait for Liszt to leave first before … "Lancaster looked up at the sky. Coincidentally, the sea rarely had gloomy weather, but it was getting dark at this moment.
Did he see the sky?
Lancaster only noticed the problem when the wind blew. What did it mean? The Death Mist Zone is going to disperse soon, right?
However, it was too late. If he could ask his family for help, Lancaster would do everything he could to protect Tang Ling. It was definitely worth it to do a favor for someone like Tang Ling.
"Captain, what about us?" At that moment, the men apologized to Tang Ling one after another before they left. Finally, Lancaster's crew could not help but urge Lancaster to leave.
"We …" Lancaster coughed and a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His injuries were not light.
After wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth, Lancaster said, "We'll leave a little later. Besides, you … "
**
"We'll leave a little later." Samuel felt terrible in her heart, but what made her even more uncomfortable was the unprecedented entanglement in her heart.
Even when she was facing her family's problems, she was not this conflicted, but now …
"Can't we contact the outside world?" After deciding to leave, Samuel asked reluctantly.
Before this, when she realized she could see the sky through the mist, she had asked her men to contact the outside world.
The sea was the Poseidon family's territory after all. If she could contact the family, there would be many ways to get here and save Tang Ling.
For someone like Tang Ling, it was definitely worth it to do him a favor. On top of that, other than a favor, there should be some camaraderie, right?
With that in mind, Samuel felt even worse, but she had to leave this place alive.
Given the situation at hand, other than abandoning Tang Ling, what other choice did she have?
"Tang Ling, I know it's pretentious to say this, but I'll always remember you. But I will always remember you. You … Is there anything you need me to do? What if I can do it? " At that moment, a strong and well-dressed young man walked up to Tang Ling with his crew. He did not hide his guilt at all.
Tang Ling shook his head with a smile.
As a matter of fact, from the moment the first young man thanked him, Tang Ling had been smiling calmly.
He was a man of few words. Other than a smile, he only nodded. Sometimes, he would say that he was fine or reject some kind offer.
No one knew what was going through his mind.
However, the more Tang Ling behaved like that, the more troubled Samuel became.
"I can't contact him." Especially when she asked again with hope, the answer she got was still the same.
What else could she do?
Seeing that the crowd was dwindling, it was time for her to say goodbye to Tang Ling. This goodbye might be … forever?
Samuel suddenly thought of her first encounter with Tang Ling. Her heart felt heavy as if a heavy rock was pressing down on her.
**
More and more young men chose to leave.
There should have been more than a thousand men in the fleet, but there were only a hundred left.
Van Persie's face was heavy as he watched the scene in silence. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His mission this time was Tang Ling, but given the current situation, even if he and the rest of the Red Tiger Squad sacrificed their lives, he could not save Tang Ling.
On top of that, he had no way to contain the Stardust Council.
What else could he do?
Who was more important, Tang Ling or the other young geniuses? Even if Van Persie was given the right to choose, he knew that no matter how talented Tang Ling was, he was not as important as the other young geniuses.
Even if the other young geniuses were not willing to leave, he had to let them go and keep Tang Ling.
However, was it a little too cruel for Tang Ling?
With that in mind, Van Persie realized that he had to muster his courage to look at Tang Ling. After all, compared to Tang Ling, he was considered an adult, a senior.
If he gave up on Tang Ling in silence, he would look like a coward.
Tang Ling was still smiling. His eyes were as calm as a deep pool of water as he nodded at the young man who thanked him.
No matter how he compared it, the young man was still weaker than him.
Was he too rational that he lacked courage?! Should he plead for Tang Ling? Van Persie chuckled bitterly as he thought about it.
Silence ensued.
As a matter of fact, Van Persie was not the only one who felt the same way.
Everyone else in the Red Tiger Squad felt the same way.
What kind of cruelty had they not seen in Iron-Blooded City? Sometimes, they even had to shed tears and abandon their comrades.
But what could be more humiliating than staying silent and not doing anything, not even fighting, and abandoning a youth that he had originally wanted to protect?!
However, there was no other way.
**
There was no other way!
That was what everyone was thinking. A single word of thanks sounded so light at this moment. It would be a mark of shame for the rest of their lives.
With such thoughts lingering in his mind, Lancaster finally walked up to Tang Ling.
There were not many who had left, including Samuel, the Dark Nine Feathers, the True Capital Seven, and Tang Ling's comrades.
"I've bet all my chips on you," Lancaster said seriously to Tang Ling.
"Thank you." This time, it was Tang Ling who thanked Lancaster.
"You don't have to thank me. Survival in this world is all about benefits. It's no different from the old civilization because you're worth it. "Lancaster took out half a pack of cigarettes with blood stains on it.
"I'm not a smoker. You see, I always have something like this with me to deal with any situation. Regardless, it's a luxury item in this era, "Lancaster added as he took out a bloody cigarette and passed it to Tang Ling.
Tang Ling lowered his head and lit the cigarette. Lancaster also passed the rest to Tang Ling.
"I won't thank you for giving you half a pack of cigarettes. It'll only make me feel more regretful, and … "Lancaster did not continue.
Tang Ling spat out a mouthful of smoke and said with a smile, "I might not die until the very last moment. I'll take the cigarette. "
Looking at Tang Ling's smile, the suppressed emotions in Lancaster's heart reached its peak.
He felt like he could not talk anymore. He gazed deeply at Tang Ling before he turned around and left.
Tang Ling was really a charismatic person. One could not help but want to trust him and follow him. One would have a strong feeling that as long as one was with him, one's life would be different.
But … maybe God was jealous of the talented? Lancaster thought of a phrase that even he found funny.
However, he could not laugh!
He did not promise to do anything for Tang Ling. Instead of saying it out loud and expecting Tang Ling to reject him, he might as well do it quietly.
If his busy life did not make him forget about it back then …
The reality of the Purple Moon era was tragic. Given Lancaster's rationality, this was the most sincere kindness he could offer.
**
Samuel felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and every step was so heavy.
Even though it was difficult to move forward, she still managed to reach Tang Ling.
What she saw was Tang Ling's calm smile, but Samuel did not want to see it. She would rather see that shameless bastard who took advantage of her.
Tang Ling made her feel distant and unfamiliar.
"I bet you didn't expect me to come and thank you, did you?" Samuel sniffled, feeling sour.
I don't even know him, do I?
Samuel tried her best to comfort herself.
As though he saw through Samuel's thoughts, Tang Ling suddenly said, "It'll be weird if you don't come. You look like a coward."
"You little bastard!" Samuel could not help but scold him, but she did not know why. Her nose felt sour when she scolded him, and her eyes started to bulge.
"Hurry up and go. Don't waste your time and thank me," Tang Ling urged Samuel.
However, the more Tang Ling urged him, the more Samuel refused to move.
What did she want to do? But what could she do?
"Why don't you get intimate with Higan now?" Samuel suddenly suggested to Tang Ling.
Higan was beside Tang Ling, but she was calm.
Tang Ling blushed. "What are you talking about? Do you believe that I'll beat you up? "
"I'm serious. Higan might have your child because of this, and I guarantee that your child will receive my best care, even if it's a boy. On top of that, the child will have the eternal friendship of the Poseidon family. "Samuel was serious.
"Hmph, I'll count to three. If you don't leave by then, I'll really beat you up." Tang Ling's face was burning hot. Samuel was really interesting. He suddenly lightened the heavy atmosphere.
"Not a bad suggestion," Higan said with a smile, but Samuel had already run away.
She knew that Tang Ling would do it. If he really beat someone up, she might not be able to beat him up.
However, she really hoped that Tang Ling would leave something behind for her to take care of.
"You little bastard." Samuel wiped her eyes. Before she left, she clearly saw Tang Ling telling her to take care of Higan.
He rejected everyone's thanks and requests, yet he made a request for her. So, she was still considered Tang Ling's friend, right?
But … why can't he live?
Samuel felt very aggrieved.
**
"I'm wronged. I've always wanted to fight alongside you. Not for this kind of battlefield, but for a bigger, brighter goal. "Wu Qing stood in front of Tang Ling.
"Me too. I finally understand what you said to us on the halo." Ling Yu and Wu Qing stood side by side and said the same thing to Tang Ling.
Standing behind them were the True Capital Seven and Dark Nine Feathers.
It was the end, so they had to leave.
As a matter of fact, there were a lot of questions. Tang Ling seemed to know that he was facing a dead end, so the questions he wanted to ask would only add to his sadness.
However, regardless of what Tang Ling thought, Wu Qing and Ling Yu believed that they had a special tacit understanding with Tang Ling. There was no need for thanks!
Yes, there was no need! From the moment he chose to join the Harvest, Tang Ling acknowledged the tacit understanding.
"It's good that you understand. Remember what I said, and you guys have agreed, as long as it doesn't go against your stance, our comrades will join forces with you guys. "Tang Ling took out the half-pack of bloody cigarettes that Lancaster gave him and passed it to Ling Yu and Wu Qing.
They took it.
Wu Qing did not know how to smoke, and he choked badly, leaving just like that.
As for Ling Yu, he gazed deeply at Tang Ling. The smoke shrouded his face, and before Tang Ling could see his expression, he too left.
**
After that, other than Tang Ling's comrades, all the other young geniuses had left.
The battle had destroyed many ships, but there were still some that could be used. After all, they had been through many battles together, so they did not mind sharing a ship for many years.
Since Tang Ling had accepted being abandoned, he did not mind being generous to the end. He told Han Xing to unlock 10 ships and let them out.
At least, the young geniuses did not have to squeeze together.
More than 20 ships were filled with the young geniuses who had escaped death. Maybe because of some tacit understanding, none of them left. The ships were still gathered in the sea area.
Including Liszt!
The sea vicious beasts started to get impatient. They had been holding it in for a long time and wanted to vent their anger.
Seizing the opportunity, the officer from the Stardust Council stepped up and said impatiently, "It's been more than 10 minutes. Are you done with your farewells?"
As he spoke, he looked at the Harvest where Tang Ling was. "Those who haven't left yet, can I take it that you want to stay and die with Tang Ling?"
Han Xing, Ro Li, the Four Saints, and Fatty did not say anything.
On the other hand, Higan did not even look at the officer. She held Tang Ling's hand quietly as if she was enjoying the scenery.
Van Persie took a deep breath. He could not … He could not just sit there and do nothing, could he?! His aircraft drifted a few meters forward and he wanted to say something.
However, the officer from the Stardust Council pulled his mantle off and removed his uniform before he jumped out of the ship.
A towering aura rose from his body, and with every step he took, his body was undergoing changes.
He grew taller and stronger.
Black stripes started to appear on his skin.
His arms started to transform into claws!
His face started to change as well. At first glance, he looked like some kind of large feline like a tiger or a leopard.
It was a rare talent! The talent of beastification must be controlled by a group of mysterious mutations in the genetic chain. Only then would the talent be born!
The reason why such a talent was rare was because if the person could not control the group of genes, they would completely turn into a beast. Their human intellect and traits would disappear.
Since it was rare, it was natural for it to be powerful.
One thing worth noting was that the large felines in the Purple Moon era were not like the ones in the old civilization. They could evolve into mutated beasts or even vicious beasts.
Would a beastified high-tier Purple Moon Warrior just be a mutated beast?
On top of that, beastification also meant that he had other talents! Didn't vicious beasts have talents too?
Beastification meant double talents. It was common knowledge.
It also meant that he was extraordinarily powerful, much more powerful than a Purple Moon Warrior of the same rank!
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was a blatant threat.
As expected, after the beastification, the officer from the Stardust Council said, "The Stardust Council has always been very clear about how we treat our enemies.
At a time like this, we won't stop anyone from dying with Tang Ling, nor will we stop anyone from interfering. Because … whoever chooses to do so will be the Stardust Council's enemy.
Against the enemy, any method is acceptable! Killing them all doesn't matter! "
The words that Van Persie had prepared to say were stuck in his throat.
As a matter of fact, wasn't that what he was worried about? If the Stardust Council wanted to kill Tang Ling, there would be no room for negotiation. A high-tier Purple Moon Warrior alone could hold back half or even all of their forces, let alone so many vicious beasts.
If he could only protect Tang Ling with his life, it would be fine, but Van Persie was afraid that the young genius, who already had doubts and unwillingness in his heart, would do anything inappropriate under the influence of the atmosphere. The Stardust Council would find an excuse to kill him.
"Give me a few more minutes. Is it difficult? You're a high-tier Purple Moon Warrior and you have so many vicious beasts. Do you have to be so petty? "Van Persie dared not speak, but Tang Ling was fearless.
His words obviously put the officer of the Stardust Council in a very awkward position. If he did not give him a few minutes, there would be a lot of people watching.
"Stop nagging. You're going to die anyway. "After a few seconds of silence, the officer stood still and did not make a move.
At that moment, Cai Dancing Pearl jumped off the Whirlpool Blue Whale and landed on the Harvest.
"Tang Ling, I …" Cai Dancing Pearl had a complicated look on her face. She always mocked humans for their treachery and always thought that humans were bad. Until today, she had to abandon a human who helped her.
"Everyone, remember this girl who helped us is from the mermaid race. I, Tang Ling, won't say anything else. " Before Cai Dancing Pearl could finish, Tang Ling suddenly took out the Wisdom Scepter and used it to transmit his words to everyone in the hall.
"Tang Ling." Cai Dancing Pearl's eyes shone with gratitude. While everyone else was grateful to Tang Ling and felt guilty, Tang Ling's words carried a lot of weight.
"You don't have to thank me. I hate the Stardust Council. Consider it as me sowing discord between you and the council." Tang Ling grinned at Cai Dancing Pearl.
"No matter what, I also …" Cai Dancing Pearl knew that Tang Ling was telling the truth, but compared to the relationship with the Stardust Council, the mermaid race's survival was more important. Tang Ling had indeed done the mermaid race a huge favor.
"You don't have to thank me." Tang Ling interrupted Cai Dancing Pearl again. "If there's a chance, we'll talk about it in the future."
"The future? Can we meet again? "Cai Dancing Pearl was confused, but she suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, so she covered her mouth.
Tang Ling looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
Cai Dancing Pearl did not want to ask anymore. She admired the young human from the bottom of her heart and hoped that he could live on.
Maybe asking too many questions would shatter the last glimmer of hope in her heart.
Regardless, the danger of the mermaid race was over, and she could finally answer to the people even though it was still a pity.
After that, Cai Dancing Pearl carried the Whirlpool Blue Whale and left.
The vicious beasts swam over and surrounded the remaining ships, including the Harvest.
**
"I say, it's time for you guys to go. Time is running out. That bastard only left me a few minutes. " Tang Ling put on a smile. It was no longer a faint smile but a sincere one as he looked at his friends who were still on the Harvest.
Everyone clenched their fists and went silent.
Tang Ling glanced over everyone and said, "Ro Li, you go first."
"Why me?" Ro Li squeezed the words out of his clenched teeth.
"Ro Xin, your father." Your father. "That was all Tang Ling said.
Ro Li's clenched fists loosened. He clenched them again and loosened them again. When he looked up, his eyes were red.
Their first encounter in the Ro Drifter camp, the adventure in the Ninth Ruins, the days in Darkness Port … Everything flashed before his eyes. In terms of feelings, he believed that his feelings for Tang Ling were deeper than everyone else's.
Then what? Would Tang Ling abandon him in this deadly situation and leave?
However, every word that Tang Ling uttered was the reason why Ro Li had to live. He took a deep breath, walked up to Tang Ling, and gave him a big hug.
"Let's go to Wu Qing and Ling Yu's ship. Don't go to the other ships," Tang Ling said when Ro Li walked to the bow.
Ro Li clenched his teeth, but he could not say anything. He lowered his head in silence for a few seconds before he jumped out of the Harvest.
"You four, go." Tang Ling looked at the East, South, West, and West brothers.
"We have no reason to go because we want to …" Dong Yang stepped up and the other three nodded.
As a matter of fact, who was not afraid of death? However, sometimes, an impulsive decision to die in front of someone who was worth it was the romance of young men.
"You're the only son of the school. Your master must have an important mission that he hasn't assigned to you. Even if I die, are you going to run away? Are you going to let your master draw water with a sieve? "Tang Ling shook his head." How disappointed would he be? "
"Why are you so mean?" Xi Feng was infuriated, but her anger eventually turned into tears. "You just want us to leave so you can die!"
Dong Yang pulled Xi Feng back and lowered his head in silence. He then looked up and inhaled deeply. "We were too impulsive just now. Let's cut the crap. We're leaving. "
"Mm-hmm." Tang Ling nodded. "You don't need me to tell you which ship to go, do you?"
Dong Yang nodded. He still wanted to say something, but he dared not because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his sadness.
He believed that Tang Ling did not need to be sad because Tang Ling did not think he would die.
"Fatty, let's go." Tang Ling squatted down and looked at Fatty, who had collapsed on the deck.
"I … I want to go, but I … I don't want to go." But I, I don't want to go. "Fatty didn't hide his snot and tears.
As a matter of fact, was there a need to be so sad? He was just a big brother that he had known for a few months. Why did he not want to go?
Tang Ling pulled Fatty up and whispered into his ear, "You'll grow stronger in the future. Isn't it a waste not to go? Besides, Xi Feng is gone … "
Fatty blinked his eyes twice, but he still couldn't move.
"What about your family? I don't care. Don't you want to go back and show off? Think about it. Your family might need to rely on you in the future when they're in danger, "Tang Ling added.
"Really?" Fatty did not believe him.
"Of course! Otherwise, why would they value a piece of trash like you so much? Didn't you prove that you're strong? Then, my theory is correct, "Tang Ling said seriously.
"T-Then, I-I'll go." Fatty felt that Tang Ling's logic did not make sense, but he had always trusted him, and he could not overstep his trust.
"Then, let's go." Tang Ling grabbed Fatty and tossed him out of the ship to Dong Yang, who caught him.
While Fatty was in the air, he suddenly remembered what Tang Ling had said to him through the halo. It was strange, and now he knew why it was so strange. Wasn't it like a will?
With that in mind, Fatty's heart felt like it was stabbed by a dagger. When Dong Yang caught him, he cried at Tang Ling, "Bro, you have to stay alive! You said it, but you might not die! "
Tang Ling did not turn around. He waved his hand impatiently and looked at Han Xing. "Do you want me to throw you out?"
"Then, we might have to fight." Han Xing did not care.
"Let's go. Do you still need me to talk nonsense?" Tang Ling glanced at Han Xing as he spoke. He entered the cabin and grabbed Monty, who was still shivering in the cabin.
Then, he brought Porky, the young man that Darkness Port had chosen to pilot the ship.
It was hard on him, but the good thing was that after this batch of young men went through all that, they would become great captains in the future.
At this point, there was no need to kill a great captain, was there?
Porky did not say anything. He and Tang Ling had not reached the point where they would die together, and he knew Tang Ling would leave him a chance to live.
"I'll remember you, Brother Tang Ling," said Porky.
"Take them away." Tang Ling shoved them into Han Xing's arms. Monty did not know what was going on, but it was sensitive enough to feel it. It was waving one of its antennae and wiping away its tears.
"I still need a reason," Han Xing said seriously.
"I'll give you two. First, I hope that you'll become the most talented swordsman in the Purple Moon era. Second, Ro Xin. Is that enough? "Tang Ling smiled.
Han Xing's lips twitched. He wanted to smile, but his face was unusually angry. He could not help but turn around and curse the officer from the Stardust Council, "Motherf * cker! Bullsh * t!"
The officer from the Stardust Council showed his anger, but for some reason, he held it in at that moment.
Since he could not kill all of them, he would not kill the only son of the Holy Tree's general in front of everyone to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As long as he could kill Tang Ling!
Han Xing brought Monty and Pocky away. Tang Ling gave the Harvest to them and chose to go to the last ship with Higan.
It was quiet and peaceful as if there were only the two of them in the world.
Tang Ling was already 16 years old, and compared to a year ago, he had grown a lot taller from his not-so-tall and scrawny body.
Of course, he was still not that muscular, but he looked tall and well-proportioned.
His appearance was still delicate and pretty, but as he grew up, his facial features became more three-dimensional, making this delicate and pretty look a bit handsome. However, his expression was still the same, with a bit of indescribable shyness.
Sizing him up again, even though he was not as handsome as Tang Long, one had to admit that he was a good-looking and charming young man.
As for Higan, who stood beside Tang Ling, her beauty was self-explanatory.
Under the gloomy sky, on the empty deck, surrounded by the vicious beasts, everyone who had yet to leave looked at the two of them with an indescribable sour feeling in their hearts.
In the Purple Moon era, looks were not important anymore.
However, the young man and woman, who were in their prime and dazzling, were they going to be buried soon?
They were both outstanding, yet they did not have the courage to leave. Was it because they wanted to remember their last faces?
No one believed that Higan would not die.
Everyone knew that Higan had an inexplicable feeling for Tang Ling. It came in a strange way, but it was exceptionally heavy.
The girl would never leave Tang Ling.
The wind fluttered their hair. Wu Mingzhu stood expressionlessly on the head of the Level 5 vicious beast in the sea. She might seem calm, but there was a trace of deep emotion in her eyes.
He was deeply in love with Sma, so he was exceptionally sensitive to things like love. He could sense the pure and sincere love between the young boy and girl not far away.
He was inexplicably touched and also inexplicably envious.
But what was he envious of? Was he envious of how beautiful they looked when they stood side by side? He was envious of the fact that no one said that there was any deception between them, but many of the tribesmen did not see Sma's feelings for him.
Wu Mingzhu raised her hand. Regardless of whether she was touched or not, it was time to end this.
"One minute!" Tang Ling turned around abruptly and looked at Wu Mingzhu.
At that very moment, a certain aura rose from Tang Ling, giving off an irresistible feeling.
It felt like a mountain was pressing down on them.
Wu Mingzhu's hand froze in mid-air. Strangely, the officer from the Stardust Council was also stunned, but he did not rush her.
The aura … was very familiar. It was like that person, Tang Feng!
Of course, it was like that. This was Tang Feng's son!
Thinking about Tang Feng as an enemy, the officer from the Stardust Council lamented in his heart, but he did not hate him because Tang Feng was a man worthy of respect.
Unfortunately, people with different beliefs could not work together, so they were destined to be enemies.
If that was the case, a minute was a minute.
Wu Mingzhu did not object either. He told himself that he might be touched and did not want to destroy the warmth between the two of them.
As for the other young men, the bitterness in their hearts was still rising.
If they knew Tang Ling and Higan, they would know. The outstanding couple actually did not have anything to rely on.
Even if Tang Ling was Tang Feng's son, Tang Feng was dead and the Dragon Army did not leave anything for him. Otherwise, Tang Ling would not have had such a hard time with every step he took. He was completely oppressed as he walked step by step to where he was now.
It should have been a miracle, but it was going to end today.
As for Higan, she should be the treasure of the Stardust Council. She was loved by the outstanding Tang Long, but for Tang Ling, she gave up everything and had no one to rely on.
Similar to her background, her lonely background was a mystery, but in the end, she still chose to be alone.
Should the two of them who had no one to rely on be … destroyed just like that? Many of the young men clenched their fists. It was an unfamiliar emotion that rarely appeared in their growing up. On top of the guilt, there was also deep sympathy.
What were they fighting against? What were they saying? However, the boiling emotions could not support their courage.
Tang Ling's friends did not even look at them. All of them shut their eyes.
Yes, they did not have the courage to face them.
**
"What do you think I can say to you now?" Tang Ling looked at Higan with a beautiful smile. His eyes were filled with warmth, admiration, and a tinge of suppressed sadness.
It was the first time Tang Ling looked at Higan with such a direct gaze. Due to his personality and because of Tang Long, Tang Ling had always been 30% suppressed and 20% avoided the relationship between him and Higan.
"It's useless no matter what you say." Higan also smiled. Even under such circumstances, her smile was a little mischievous.
Since Tang Ling was looking at her with such deep love, it was rare. Her gaze at Tang Ling grew even hotter.
"Be good. Listen to me. What do you think about this?" Tang Ling looked at Higan and placed his hand on her waist. It seemed like he wanted to hug her for the last time.
"It's useless. I told you earlier." Higan shook her head.
"It's a pity that I haven't finished my present for you yet." Tang Ling's hand moved up from her waist like a couple caressing each other.
"We'll do it slowly in the future. I've been looking forward to it." Higan was nonchalant.
Tang Ling's hand stopped at the back of Higan's neck. Was he trying to give his lover a deep kiss at the last minute?
"What if, and I'm just saying what if, there's no future?" Tang Ling moved his hand away from Higan's neck and raised it up.
"Then, there's no future together." Higan suddenly smiled.
Tang Ling froze on the spot. He felt the changes inside his body and it started to invade the smallest part of his body.
Tang Ling was defenseless against the corrosion because the corrosion started from his cells.
"Higan, you …" Tang Ling felt chills all over his body. As tough as he was, he could not resist the cold because every single cell in his body started to shiver. How could he resist?
Higan wrapped her arms around Tang Ling's waist gently and said, "If you didn't knock me out, I wouldn't have attacked you."
Tang Ling's gaze started to turn sorrowful and hopeless.
Higan did not care. She looked at Tang Ling and smiled brightly. "But it's fun. I never thought I'd attack you one day."
Tang Ling's expression was filled with despair and anxiety. It was the first time he had a weak thought in his heart. Who? Who can save us now?
He could not stop Higan. She had made up her mind to die with him.
Was Higan that powerful? He did not even have the strength to resist.
Higan was delighted. She tidied Tang Ling's collar and said, "I forgot to tell you that you can't beat me. Do you understand now?"
After that, she let go of Tang Ling and walked to the front of the deck. She stopped and turned around. "Hold on for a few more seconds. You'll be fine."
Tang Ling wanted to scream, but he felt like his neck was being squeezed. What kind of power did Higan have? How …
"I don't want you to die. So, let's call it a day. "Higan smiled at Tang Ling." As for me, I'll give it my all. I don't know what will happen if I give it my all. But if I don't die, please protect me. "
A drop of warm tear rolled down from the corner of Tang Ling's eye.
Was he so helpless that he was crying? Tang Ling had forgotten how long it had been since he last cried. He could not help but recall that night when his grandmother let go of his hand and his arms were empty. His little sister was gone.
Higan turned around and looked at Wu Mingzhu and the officers from the Stardust Council further away.
"One minute. Time's up. Let's begin, "said Higan calmly.
Wu Mingzhu could not bear to watch, but for the sake of Smar, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and raised his hand again. Following a strange whistle, he swung his hand down.
Looking at Higan, the officers from the Stardust Council showed a strange expression.
As a member of the Stardust Council, he was no stranger to Higan. He knew she had a powerful power, but what was her power? Even he did not know.
Only a handful of people from the Stardust Council knew.
Following Higan's departure, her power was never revealed to the public.
However, no matter how powerful she was, how powerful could she be? She was still a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior. Surrounded by vicious beasts, there was no way she could survive.
The other young warriors' palms were drenched in cold sweat. Had it come to this? Both of them were going to die here.
Among the young warriors, there were a few who still held hope in their hearts because they had witnessed the queen's power before, so they knew how powerful she was.
This kind of strange ability, perhaps …
But it was hopeless, was it? Against so many vicious beasts, even a high-tier Purple Moon Warrior would have to pay a price to escape, would he not?
For some reason, they just felt that shouldn't they hate the Queen? Why were they so eager for her to survive at a time like this?
Wu Mingzhu swung his hand down, and the suppressed vicious beasts pounced towards the lonely ship that Tang Ling and Higan were on.
Not far away from the ship was the terrifying crack.
Tang Ling and Higan would die if they took a step forward, and they would die if they took a step back!
It was then that Higan's expression changed. She was very focused, but it did not make her look serious. Instead, she looked extra flirtatious.
Around her, gusts of wind started to blow wildly, fluttering her hair and clothes.
Her flirtatious appearance made her look like a beautiful poisonous weed swaying in the wind. She was filled with an astonishing charm, but she was deadly.
The vicious beasts arrived within a hundred meters of the small ship in the blink of an eye. Higan raised her right hand elegantly.
Her right hand was slender and beautiful, but there was no energy fluctuation at the center of her palm.
Tang Ling looked at Higan's figure. He wanted to stand up countless times, but he could not control his trembling body.
Suddenly, the sky darkened for a moment.
Higan's right hand was flung away, and a trickle of blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.
Then, everyone saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
