Chapter 1110

However, these beastmen's strength was by no means ordinary.

Tang Ruan simply could not break free.

Crack! Crack!

Zhao Chi's lightning struck them, yet they didn't even flinch.

Tang Ruan truly became furious.

Her face flushed red as she screamed with all her might:

"Aaaahhhhhhh!!"

"Get out of my way! Get out of my way! Get out of my way—!!"

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh—!!!!!!"

Whoosh!

A blurred pink-white shadow shot out.

Boom!

Fragments of the wall were flung in all directions.

Both Zhao Chi and Tang Ruan felt a sense of unreality.

And a faint chill…

Had Tang Ruan really broken free?

They crashed toward the VIP trading room.

But they moved too fast, tripped over the falling boulders, and tumbled straight into the VIP trading room.

They fell to the ground, every part of their body aching.

Why did it hurt so much?

Logically, Tang Ruan's skin armor was still intact—she shouldn't have felt this pain, right?

It was heart-wrenching agony.

She looked down and saw blood everywhere around her, source unknown.

But neither Zhao Chi nor Tang Ruan paid it any mind.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ruan had actually broken free.

This caught Zhao Chi off guard.

But the most important thing now was to frantically gather Expansion Stones.

She extended her tender palm and grabbed three more Expansion Stones.

【Race Gene Expansion Stone】 ×1

【Race Gene Expansion Stone】 ×1

【Personal Gene Expansion Stone】 ×1

That box was already empty.

There were none left nearby.

These three must be the last ones.

Tang Ruan and Zhao Chi waited for the next powerful tug.

But no powerful tug came.

Only cries of shock.

Zhao Chi turned his head.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Behind them… was another Tang Ruan?

The beastmen were gripping tightly onto one Tang Ruan.

That Tang Ruan wore a smooth jade armor over her chest and abdomen, a mask and helmet on her head, gauntlets on her arms, half-destroyed leg armor, and combat boots on her feet.

And that Tang Ruan… was struggling?

And screaming wildly: "Let me go! Let me go! Why are you holding me? I'm Zhao Yu! I'm Zhao Yu—!"

Zhao Chi was stunned.

What was that?

Who was she?

An illusion?

Zhao Chi looked down again.

Before him were two large, rounded mounds, straining the white shirt taut.

From Tang Ruan's perspective, she couldn't see her own toes.

She bent down to look.

Her legs were clad in white silk stockings, her feet in white high heels.

The outfit had automatically switched to fashion mode.

Tang Ruan's exposed palms and arms were all a tender red.

Tender, tender red.

Pink, pink tender red.

Like skin freshly peeled by Zhuang Ya—exquisitely pale and fresh.

This is…

So…

What those beastmen were holding—was it Tang Ruan's jade armor?

But how could that jade armor speak?

Damn, is this a ghost?

At this moment, many beastmen's gazes turned toward them again.

"Quick, move aside, the enemy has reinforcements!"

"Don't let her get anything else."

"Charge, charge!"

Half the beastmen still clung only to Tang Ruan's... jade armor, while that "jade armor" continued to scream...

The other half of the beastmen rushed forward.

Their speed remained as swift as the wind.

In a flash, Zhao Chi realized they could not pull Tang Ruan back.

This meant...

Zhao Chi immediately tapped Return.

Whoosh!

Tang Ruan vanished on the spot.

Only the struggling pure-white jade armor remained, along with half a set of damaged steel armor and weapons.

The scene before his eyes shifted.

Immediately, he saw pairs of anxious eyes.

They were Gu Qing and the others' eyes.

Zhao Chi and Tang Ruan had returned.

They were back in Penglai Village!

Damn...

Zhao Chi's heart was still racing wildly.

No, it was Tang Ruan's heartbeat.

In the final moment, Zhao Chi had no time to use the Chaotic Marking Talisman.

The Chaotic Marking Talisman's duration is one minute; the one used earlier had already expired.

But it should be fine.

After all, Zhao Chi had teleported directly to Penglai Village.

This was his first time teleporting this way; as long as it doesn't happen often, the other side almost certainly cannot track them.

After all, even nobles back then found it difficult to track unregistered territories.
