Xuantian Gong circulated, and Tang San carefully released his contained killing intent, forming a barrier of aura. His terrifying physique, beyond that of ordinary people, also displayed its might at this moment.
Tang Sui, who did not retreat, exclaimed: "!"
She was like a cat whose tail fur puffed up upon sensing a threat, her feigned indifference shattered.
"Mianmian."
A deep voice sounded, and an even more colossal and terrifying pressure descended from the heavens, easily shattering Tang San's defensive line. He was forced back two steps with a pale face, spitting out a mouthful of reversed blood from his throat.
"Cough!"
Tang San was routed under this terrifying pressure. He looked up, staring in horror at the strange man who had suddenly appeared. Before he could even process the man's terrifying power, he heard Tang Sui, also somewhat surprised and confused, call out to the newcomer:
"Grandpa?"
Tang San's eyes widened abruptly.
Grandpa!?
Seeing the little cub's face filled with "How could you be here," the King of Slaughter looked down at the human boy who had developed a fondness for the cub. Under Tang Sui's rapidly twitching right eyelid, the corner of his lips curled into a cold sneer. Within Tang San's trembling pupils, he slowly raised his hand.
"Grandpa."
Tang Sui called out to Tang Chen again. Tang Chen's lifting hand paused. He swept his gaze over the cub, whose small face was stern and disapproving, clearly indicating that she was taking sides with an outsider. His brows furrowed slightly. His icy, blood-red eyes, devoid of any warmth, swept over Tang San, and he warned in a voice imbued with immense power:
"You unlicked cub, she is not someone you can approach." Sudan Novel Network
No!
She is clearly my sister!
Tang San cried out silently in his heart. But before Tang Chen's overwhelming power, he was completely unable to move or utter a sound.
He didn't know how Sui Sui had become involved with this man of terrifying strength, nor why she had regressed to her childhood state. However, he couldn't help but suspect this man.
Unaware that a huge black pot had just fallen from the sky, Tang Chen, after warning Tang San, turned to Tang Sui, his tone not much better.
"How much longer do you intend to stay down here? It's time to go back."
Tang Sui, who inexplicably detected a hint of sourness, responded, "...emmmmm"
She hesitated, glancing at Tang San, who was completely suppressed, then at Tang Chen, whose entire demeanor screamed "I'm unhappy." She leaped into the air, not needing any support, and landed beside Tang Chen. Then, she was scooped up by the petulant patriarch, and in front of Tang San, they both disappeared.
Once again, watching a golden opportunity slip away before his eyes, Tang San swayed unsteadily, almost falling off the eave in a stumble.
As Tang Chen departed, the terrifying pressure that had locked onto him instantly dissipated.
Tang San coughed, a speck of blood spraying from the corner of his mouth.
Anger, unwillingness, and confusion filled his heart. He raised his head, his azure eyes gazing chillingly in the direction Tang Chen had disappeared. His hands clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking.
No matter what that man had done to Sui Sui, no matter if he had deceived her, he would make Sui Sui remember everything. And then... he would never let him off!
...
The elder and the youngster didn't exchange a single word until they returned to the Hell Palace. Tang Chen's dark expression remained unchanged.
Tang Sui looked at Tang Chen, who seemed to be emitting dark energy from his back. Their positions seemed reversed, with Tang Sui looking helplessly at the sulking old child. "Are you still angry?"
Tang Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Who's angry? It's just a family reunion, a tearful one, isn't it?"
"But I didn't talk to him in the end. I was just very surprised that he actually called out my name," Tang Sui comforted Tang Chen's emotions like a grown-up.
The King of Slaughter snorted. "If I hadn't appeared suddenly, that kid would have already poisoned your mind and you would have left with him, wouldn't you?"
Tang Sui, who had indeed considered finding a place to talk and gather information for a moment, blinked. A tiny flicker of guilt flashed in her eyes.
Tang Chen, who had been observing Tang Sui closely, spotted this guilt. His expression immediately darkened further, so much so that water could have dripped from it.
"You want to leave the City of Slaughter with that kid?"
Tang Chen asked gloomily.
He could tell at a glance that the kid was here for training and would never stay here in the future.
When this issue was brought up, Tang Sui's demeanor changed from guilt to righteous indignation as she looked at Tang Chen, saying meaningfully, "The City of Slaughter cannot exist forever. This is not the end."
When it came to serious matters, Tang Chen's anger subsided somewhat, but he was still very unhappy.
"Then what does that have to do with me intending to teach that presumptuous kid who dared to get close to you a lesson?"
Tang Sui opened her mouth, about to tell Tang Chen that Tang San was the Son of Destiny in this world.
But thinking of another entity "monitoring" this side, she swallowed the words that had reached her lips. She looked earnestly at Tang Chen and promised, "I will not leave with a stranger who suddenly appeared. Even if there's a blood relation, it doesn't mean anything."
"It was you and Uncle Snake who saved me. I will definitely not abandon everything you have paved for me and leave."
"And what I promised you, I will definitely fulfill."
Tang Sui's sudden seriousness left Tang Chen with no room to argue.
Upon hearing the last sentence, a dark glint flashed in Tang Chen's eyes, and he coldly snorted, "You better mean it."
