Hu Yan Nan and Man Hanting each used their full ten layers of power, fighting an intense battle… The guards anxiously stood by, unable to intervene. More and more guards gathered, surrounding the room completely…
Hu Yan Nan knew his chances of leaving alive today were slim. Man Hanting seemed to have prepared a trap both inside and outside the palace. If not for his exceptional skills, he would have died multiple times on this journey.
He was ready to die, wanting to avenge his wife and children and fulfill his life’s last wish… And to take away the woman who both moved and chilled his heart – if he couldn’t have her, no one else would…
Hu Yan Nan’s peripheral vision caught Zhao Yeqing and Shan Xiaoya, and his anger rose. If not for Zhao Yeqing, he would never have sent her there, never made her become so cold, ruthless, and lost.
His face darkened horrifically. The despair and rage in his eyes gave him a dark, hellish aura, like a messenger of death radiating a bloodthirsty light.
Chapter 094
Hu Yannan delivered a thunderous palm strike to Man Hanting’s chest. The power of this strike was immense, sending Man Hanting crashing through the roof and flying out. Man Hanting was sent flying like a fallen leaf. The intact roof was forcefully punctured with two holes. Man Hanting struggled to stand on the roof’s edge. Looking up, he saw Shan Xiaoya beside him. Thinking she was frightened, he didn’t notice her hostile expression and reached out. “Xiaoya, come help me quickly.”
Shan Xiaoya’s mouth curved into a cold smile. Her eyes flashed with merciless light. A ghostly voice drifted into Man Hanting’s ears. “Help you? What’s in it for me? The defeated are not worthy of my support.”
Man Hanting stared at Shan Xiaoya in disbelief.
She looked so unfamiliar now, just like when they first met – cold and distant, completely different from the previous gentle and charming woman. It was as if he had returned to their first encounter…
Hu Yannan had already pursued them. Standing between Shan Xiaoya and Man Hanting, he mockingly looked at Shan Xiaoya. “See clearly? This is the man you ultimately chose. Utterly useless.”
Shan Xiaoya shrugged indifferently. “Only men with power and wealth are worth following. You…” She shook her head contemptuously. “One is vicious, the other incompetent – neither is what I want. Continue your business, don’t mind me.” Turning decisively to leave the roof’s edge, her eyes clearly showed disgust…
Hu Yannan looked at the drastically changed Shan Xiaoya, his heart turning to ash. This was a woman trained by the demon’s kiln – clinging to power, loving wealth without compassion. Yet, it was also his own doing. Since he had already made up his mind, why hesitate?
Hu Yannan struck another palm at Man Hanting…
