“Then there’s nothing more to say!!”
Tang Haofei’s sudden outburst astonished the sovereign and left Wen Yu in a daze, while Bai wore a smile, seemingly having expected Old Tang’s temper all along.
As Tang Haofei erupted in anger, Bai transmitted a mental wave to Wen Yu.
“I’m here sincerely trying to help you, and you want to bite me back? That’s a bit inconsiderate, don’t you think?”
Indeed, with Bai’s intelligence, he had deduced the words Wen Yu had wanted to say but hadn’t spoken—namely, that he wanted to tell Tang Haofei that Bai had other plans and that Tang Haofei was being used by Bai...
It must be said that earlier, Wen Yu had indeed felt a flicker of emotion—he even wanted Tang Haofei to escape this invisible vortex as soon as possible.
However, it was clear that Old Tang was quite genuine...
Or perhaps, foolishly lovable...
“Boom!”
The powerful punch struck the sovereign’s forehead directly, but faced with Tang Haofei’s full strength, the sovereign did not dodge.
The force of the heavy punch was partially dissipated by the white light rippling around the sovereign, and the remaining power was simply insufficient to penetrate the sovereign’s defenses!
Then, there was a buzzing sound.
The sovereign tilted his head slightly, dissipating the residual force of Tang Haofei’s heavy punch, and then, accompanied by a whistling sound, the sovereign delivered a vicious whip kick to Tang Haofei’s waist!
The distinct sound of bones shattering echoed, and in an instant, Tang Haofei’s lower body turned into a mist of blood. Following that, the sovereign swung his fist again, a punch as fast as lightning crashing into Tang Haofei’s forehead. In the blink of an eye, amidst the chaos of red and white, Tang Haofei was dead...
But as previously mentioned, for the owner of the life and death battle resolution, death is merely the beginning...
“I have a task for you.”
In the brief skirmish, Wen Yu had not yet found an opportunity to strike when Tang Haofei was crushed and killed by the sovereign. As Wen Yu was in a daze, Bai suddenly spoke up.
“Say it!”
Wen Yu’s response was quick and decisive—The situation was already very clear; neither Tang Haofei nor the sovereign was giving him a chance to speak. The only option left was to team up with Bai for a fight against the sovereign, which might give him a slight chance to escape...
Even though Wen Yu still had doubts about Bai’s appearance, given Bai’s personality, he surely wasn’t here seeking death, right?
Since he wasn't here to seek death, it proved that Bai at least had some confidence in handling the current situation...
In other words, regardless of Bai’s purpose, Wen Yu had only one path to take: cooperating with Bai!
“Use the dream-come-true skill system to enhance Tang Haofei’s combat power, and then try your best to protect me. Don’t let me die at the hands of the sovereign. Can you do that?”
“I’ll do my best!”
Wen Yu nodded immediately—Bai's request was not simple for him, but it was indeed achievable.
In the blink of an eye, after crushing Tang Haofei, the sovereign’s gaze shifted to Wen Yu and Bai. He was contemplating, seemingly suspicious of Bai's purpose for appearing here. Hence, the sovereign did not strike at Bai immediately, which indeed reduced the difficulty of the task for Wen Yu.
As the sovereign momentarily paused, on the ground, Tang Haofei’s body suddenly jerked. With the shattering of a revival item from the Spatial Ring, all of Tang Haofei’s injuries healed instantly. He slowly got up from the ground and quietly retreated back to the front of Wen Yu and Bai.
“This situation is a bit tricky.”
After the brief exchange, Tang Haofei also sensed the sovereign’s power. At that moment, a bitter expression appeared on his face, but his fists clenched tighter.
The atmosphere became tense until the sovereign suddenly smiled and shook his head.
“Forget it, I won’t think about it…”
