Chapter 145: Shock

The scarred man did not expect that Tang Yun, despite being severely injured, could still erupt with such powerful strength.

"You... what kind of monster are you!" The scarred man's voice carried a hint of trembling.

Tang Yun did not answer; he walked toward the scarred man step by step, each step feeling as if he were treading on the scarred man's heart.

"I'll ask you one last time: what did you do to her!" Tang Yun's voice was cold and bone-chilling, like a freezing wind from the Nine Underworlds.

The scarred man swallowed hard, forcing himself to stay calm: "I... I only..."

"Ah!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Tang Yun suddenly appeared before him, grabbed his throat, and lifted him high into the air.

"You deserve to die!"

Murderous intent was fully revealed in Tang Yun's eyes, and the force in his hand grew stronger and stronger.

The scarred man's face flushed red, his breathing became increasingly difficult, and his eyes were filled with terror. He struggled desperately, but he could not break free from Tang Yun's iron grip.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the scarred man's neck was snapped by Tang Yun.

The scarred man's body hung limp, all signs of life extinguished.

The live stream room was silent; everyone was stunned by Tang Yun's thunderous methods.

Tang Yun slowly lowered the scarred man's corpse and turned to walk toward Leng Yue.

He carefully untied Leng Yue from the tree and held her in his arms.

"Leng Yue, are you alright?" Tang Yun's voice was filled with concern.

Leng Yue weakly opened her eyes, looked at Tang Yun, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"I... I'm fine..."

After saying this, Leng Yue fainted.

Tang Yun looked at the unconscious Leng Yue, his heart filled with self-reproach.

It was all his fault; if not for him, Leng Yue would not have suffered such torture.

"Damn dark energy..." Tang Yun cursed in a low voice.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with determination.

"I must completely master this power; I will never let anyone be hurt again!"

Just then, Tang Yun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, and black patterns emerged once again, denser and more ferocious than before.

"Not good!" Tang Yun shouted inwardly.

He felt his consciousness gradually blurring, and the power within his body was running wild, out of control.

"Ah!"

Tang Yun let out a painful roar, his body falling backward uncontrollably.

"Cloud God!"

A series of gasps came from the live stream room.

Everything went black before Tang Yun's eyes, and he completely lost consciousness.

At the very moment Tang Yun fell, a golden light descended from the sky, enveloping both him and Leng Yue.

When the golden light dissipated, the figures of Tang Yun and Leng Yue had vanished.

All that remained was the mess on the ground and a stream of panicked comments in the live stream room.

"Where's the Cloud God? Where's Leng Yue?"

"Where did they go?"

"Were they captured by aliens?"

The live stream room was in an uproar, with screens full of "???" floating by.

Interspersed with various profanities and questions like "WTF" and "What's going on?"

Some veteran fans began to analyze the situation, guessing whether Tang Yun had triggered some hidden mission or had been teleported to a new map.

Others were worried about Leng Yue's safety, as she was still in a coma.

Meanwhile, a man wearing a ferocious ghost mask appeared at the spot where Tang Yun had fallen.

He looked around, his gaze sinister, and let out a sneer: "Hmph, nothing more than this."

The man was the masked man who had been blown away by Tang Yun earlier. He had thought he was surely dead, but he hadn't expected Tang Yun's power to spiral out of control, giving him a chance to breathe.

He struggled to stand up, followed them all the way here, and witnessed the scene where Tang Yun and Leng Yue disappeared.

"This power..." The masked man reached out, feeling the residual energy fluctuations in the air, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. "If it could be used by me..."

He licked his lips, revealing a cruel smile.

"No matter where you've gone, I will find you."

The scene shifted, and Tang Yun slowly opened his eyes. What met his sight was a strange landscape.

Dense jungle, towering ancient trees, the air filled with rich spiritual energy, and the sounds of strange birds and insects ringing in his ears.

He struggled to sit up, feeling sore all over, as if his body had been hollowed out.

"Where is this?" Tang Yun looked around, his brows tightly locked.

He looked down and found Leng Yue lying quietly beside him, her face pale and her breathing shallow.

"Leng Yue!" Tang Yun hurriedly reached out to check Leng Yue's breath, and finding she was still breathing, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

He helped Leng Yue up and gently patted her cheek: "Leng Yue, wake up."

Leng Yue slowly opened her eyes, looking at Tang Yun with a dazed expression: "Tang Yun... where are we?"

"I don't know either." Tang Yun shook his head. "It seems we were teleported to some unknown place."

"This is..." Leng Yue looked around, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Such rich spiritual energy! Could this be the legendary Secret Realm?"

"Secret Realm?" Tang Yun was stunned, then immediately realized.

In their world, besides highly advanced technology, there existed some mysterious areas known as Secret Realms.

These Secret Realms contained abundant resources and powerful energy, but they were also filled with danger.

"If this really is a Secret Realm, we must be careful."

Tang Yun's expression was grave. "Secret Realms often contain powerful guardians and various unknown dangers."

"Mm." Leng Yue nodded and struggled to stand up. "Let's check the situation around us first."

The two walked cautiously toward the depths of the jungle. Not long after, they heard the sounds of fighting ahead.

"Someone's there!" Tang Yun and Leng Yue exchanged a glance and hurriedly ran toward the direction of the sound.

Pushing aside the dense bushes, they saw a man in black being besieged by a group of winged monsters.

The man was agile, his long sword dancing with great force, but there were too many monsters, and he was gradually unable to cope.

"Let's help him!" Leng Yue said, preparing to rush out.

"Wait!" Tang Yun grabbed Leng Yue. "Let's observe the situation first."

The two hid behind the bushes, observing the battle.

The man in black fought while retreating, gradually being forced to the edge of a cliff.

"It seems he can't escape," Leng Yue whispered.

Just then, one of the monsters suddenly lunged at the man in black, its sharp claws reaching for his chest.

"Careful!" Leng Yue couldn't help but gasp.

The man in black seemed exhausted and unable to dodge the blow.

At the critical moment, a golden light flashed.

"Pfft!"

The monster's claws were severed by the golden light, and it let out a shrill scream before falling to the ground.

The man in black was stunned and turned to look in the direction the golden light had come from.

Tang Yun and Leng Yue also stepped out from behind the bushes.

Seeing Tang Yun and Leng Yue, the man in black's eyes flashed with vigilance: "Who are you?"
