Su Tang guessed the intentions of these people from the Protectorate. They were aware of Lu Ping's purpose, and that was why they had brought her out. They wanted to lure Lu Ping, or maybe they wanted to take her as a hostage.
But she understood Lu Ping's thoughts better. If Lu Ping had come to save her, he must have done his best. At this moment, he was either still asking where she was, or he was already on his way. Either way, this sound transmission from the Protectorate had helped him confirm the direction, and he should be very grateful. And Su Tang was equally grateful. Whether it was life or death, it was always good to be able to see him again.
So this thank you was very sincere. It was so sincere that Xing Wen finally looked at Su Tang.
"Thank you for what?" he said.
"Let me see him as soon as possible." Su Tang said.
"You don't think he'll escape?" Xing Wen said.
"At least not now." Su Tang said. In her and Lu Ping's modus operandi, there had always been an escape option. But right now, these people couldn't even find Lu Ping, so there was no way for him to escape.
"That's good." Xing Wen nodded. He didn't look away, but raised his hand towards the big man who brought Su Tang.
"Kill her." Xing Wen said.
"Ah?" The big man, who had an impatient expression when he grabbed Su Tang, was as obedient as a little sheep in front of Xing Wen. He didn't even raise his head very high. He was a little surprised to hear this order. This was a little different from the plan he knew.
But he quickly knew that he didn't hear wrong, and immediately walked forward and dragged Su Tang to the side. His method of killing was a little cruel, and he was worried that the blood would splash on Lord Xing.
"I have a rule. Whatever the opponent expects, I must make him suffer. " Xing Wen was still looking at Su Tang, but he didn't see the panic on Su Tang's face. He only revealed a little regret. After listening to Xing Wen's words, he even smiled.
"I also have a rule," Su Tang said.
The big guy could already make a move, but when he saw that Xing Wen seemed to be listening, he naturally slowed down. Then, he heard Su Tang continue, "In order to survive, I will do my best to struggle."
After saying that, she turned around abruptly. A hand pressed down on her shoulder, and the big person who was about to twist off her head suddenly felt that something was wrong. The power that was transmitted from his shoulder to his hand was incomparably abundant, so strong that it made one's hair stand on end. The force he subconsciously used to stop her was instantly crushed into pieces. Su Tang's shoulder bumped into his waist. He heard the sound of his ribs breaking. It was so clear that it made his hair stand on end.
Pa! Pa!
The chains on his hands and feet were also broken in an instant. The big man fell on his back. Su Tang didn't even look at him and rushed forward. From the day she was chained, Su Tang had been accumulating her strength. She had never tried to break free because she never had a good opportunity. Breaking free of the chains was not her goal; escaping was. But from the day she was captured, even though she was chained up, they had never relaxed their watch on her. She could only endure.
But now? There was probably no worse opportunity than this in front of the Black Army's Protector, Xing Wen. But Su Tang had no other choice. She could see that Xing Wen's intention to kill her was not just a threat. She could only give it her all and fight for this last chance of survival.
"A Child of Blood Strength?" Xing Wen looked at the shattered chains on the ground, his expression unchanged. The six people behind him were the same, as if nothing had happened.
Xing Wen didn't care about Su Tang, but this didn't mean that he knew nothing about Su Tang. Children of Blood Strength, a bloodline that couldn't be passed down, were extremely rare on the continent. But Su Tang's cultivation level was only at the Linked Three Spirits. Even with such a rare bloodline, she still wasn't much of a threat. This kind of person couldn't be used by him. If she was killed, then so be it. He wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pity.
What surprised him was that Su Tang could actually break free of the chains.
This Soul Concealing Lock came from Zhen Shan He, a secret workshop under the Protector. It specialized in researching and developing magical weapons used by cultivators. Xing Wen was very clear about its use. Even a cultivator with the Linked Four Spirits would have their soul power suppressed within the range of perception. As for the Linked Three Spirits, a stronger cultivator would be able to feel a bit of soul power. A weaker one would be no different from being hit by the legendary Soul Concealing Lock.
But now, this Soul Concealing Lock had been forcefully broken. This was something he hadn't expected and was a little surprised.
"Interesting." He raised his head and looked at Su Tang. The Child of Blood Strength increased the attributes of the Soul of Strength in all aspects, including strength, endurance, speed, and even touch. Right now, Su Tang was unleashing her maximum speed with all her might. She didn't look back and ran with all her might. But the street in front of her was a little too long.
One of the six people behind Xing Wen silently stood next to Xing Wen. After hearing his sigh and seeing Xing Wen nod slightly, he turned to the side and opened his arms. His right hand pinched the tail of an arrow. His left hand was empty, but he took the pose of shooting an arrow.
In an instant, soul power gathered in his left palm and stretched out, forming a bow. It was also formed from soul power. A shining thread hung down from the top of the bow and connected to the bottom.
The arrow in his right hand was nocked on the bowstring and pulled back. The bow didn't bend at all, but the bowstring formed from soul power was actually pulled back.
"Ha!" the black-robed man shouted softly. The soul power that had formed the bow suddenly gathered on the body of the arrow. The arrow shot out!
There was no sound of the bowstring, only the sound of the arrow tearing through the air. The street where Su Tang was running suddenly had a gust of wind, whistling towards her along with the arrow.
Su Tang abruptly turned around. The wind had already arrived, causing her bloodstained clothes to flutter loudly. Her hair seemed to want to tear off her scalp. She hurriedly struggled backwards, as if she wanted to pull Su Tang away to run.
Su Tang didn't look tense. She just gazed at the arrow shooting towards her.
During the days she had stayed in Nightingale, besides the improvement of her realm, Su Tang had learned another skill: archery. She had the innate bloodline of the Child of Blood Strength. She was considered the best candidate to inherit Zhong Qian's level 5 divine bow, Lie Feng, to continue the legend of the God of Archery that they had tried so hard to create.
Unfortunately, Nightingale was destroyed in the end, just like what happened to Zhenfeng College. Lie Feng fell into the enemy's hands. Su Tang and many of her fellows became the prisoners of the City Master's Mansion. Then, she was taken away by the Institute Supervisor. She was interrogated day and night.
She had always been persistent and patient. She had to try her best to survive no matter what! It was what she and Lu Ping had agreed on. Even if the arrow was pointing at her heart, she wouldn't give up. With the familiarity she had gained with archery this year, Su Tang completed each of her moves without thinking.
She took a step back, both of her hands reaching out.
Catch!
Her hands gripped the arrow tightly. The fierce impact made blood spurt from the gaps between her fingers.
Su Tang didn't loosen her grip because the arrow didn't stop. The arrow was still moving forward, bringing both of her hands into her heart.
Su Tang took another step back, exerting more force. The soul force of the Child of Blood Strength gathered in her hands. Su Tang felt that all of her energy had been drained.
She halted, because the arrow had finally stopped. She should continue running, but she didn't even have the strength to take another step.
"Worthy of being the Child of Blood Strength," the man in black praised from afar. Xing Wen looked at Su Tang from a distance, his face showing a trace of pity.
The Child of Blood Strength was valuable, but this little girl was even more impressive. However, these emotions wouldn't change his decision in the slightest. The man in black opened his hands again, forming an arrow with three fingers on his right hand. The soul force in his left hand surged, condensing into a bow.
The same posture, the same arrow. The wind on the street surged like a huge wave. Su Tang gritted her teeth, stood up straight, and reached out with both hands. She faced the wind and the arrow in the same posture.
"You can still do it?" The man in black blurted out. Then, he saw Su Tang catch the arrow. This time, she didn't take two steps back. Instead, she was sent flying backwards.
However, she still managed to catch the arrow. The arrow didn't pierce her heart. Su Tang tossed the arrow to the side and stood up with great difficulty.
The man in black's expression changed. Just like Xing Wen, he turned his attention from the Child of Blood Strength to the person in front of him.
The two of them were far apart in strength. Su Tang had been able to catch two of her arrows not only because of her bloodline, but also because of her astonishing willpower and will to live.
But what use was that?
The man in black sighed as he picked up the third arrow. If he had only seen Su Tang as prey before and only wanted to kill her, then he now saw Su Tang as an opponent and had considerable respect for her.
This time, his posture didn't change, but he would use all his strength for this arrow.
The arrow flew out!
The whistling sound of the arrow piercing through the air reached the end of the street. The wind and waves were brought up, but in the blink of an eye, they were left behind. Then, new waves were brought up, and they were left behind again.
This time, Su Tang's hair wasn't messed up. Because before the wind arrived, the arrow had arrived first.
"Sigh." Su Tang sighed softly. This time, she really didn't have any strength left. She couldn't even lift a finger. But at this moment, a familiar feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
A hand reached out from the side and firmly caught the arrow.
A familiar figure stood in front of her, blocking the gust of wind behind the arrow.
His clothes began to flutter, his hair began to dance in the wind, but he didn't move at all. A smile appeared on his calm face.
Su Tang immediately smiled.
"You're here."
