31: Mingxuan Tianwang

"A Level 2 S-rank Talent is truly powerful!" Tang Ping exclaimed, feeling the strength within his body. This was a completely different concept compared to E-rank Talent.

He could clearly tell that a Level 2 S-rank Talent could completely crush a Level 3 E-rank Talent!

It was as simple as slaughtering a chicken!

"With this strength, I can barely survive in the Wasteland now."

Tang Ping then took out the infected serum. Although his physique now exceeded forty, making him more resistant to Infected infection, drinking it was better than not drinking it.

After taking care of those things, Tang Ping tidied up the Shelter, and it finally became clean and orderly.

"It seems there's still something about Mo Xuanji that needs to be investigated. Forget it, I've already left. It won't be too late to check when I go back later." Tang Ping was curious if there was a person named Mo Xuanji a hundred years later, but he had already left the Safe Zone and didn't plan to return anytime soon.

Moreover, the food in the Shelter, if rationed, would last for many days.

Tang Ping found a secret manual. This secret manual was also compiled by a Heavenly King Level Expert, and this Heavenly King Level Expert was ice-attributed and skilled in using a sword.

After his mental strength broke through forty, he could almost read ten lines at a glance, and quickly memorized three secret manuals.

Rumble! The Shelter suddenly shook!

Even a small portion of his health bar dropped. Tang Ping was startled, the secret manual in his hand was shaken off. He quickly steadied himself, looking at the constantly dropping health bar, and hardened his heart. He had to go out!

If the situation was bad, he needed to get away, otherwise, if he got caught up, no one knew what would happen.

He immediately exited the Shelter, his pupils trembling!

It was a Calamity Beast!

Although it was far away, he still recognized it as a Storm Beast!

However, this Storm Beast was too large, sitting there like a mountain!

Its eighty to ninety-meter-tall body was much taller than most of the high-rise buildings in the Jiangcheng Ruins!

"There's actually a Storm Beast here. This Storm Beast must have reached Level 6!"

Tang Ping's heart chilled, a hint of fear rising within him. A Level 6 Storm Beast!

As a Calamity Beast, the terrifying combat power of a Storm Beast was equivalent to a human S-rank player of the same level!

Its powerful physique, exaggerated size, terrifying destructive power, coupled with its extremely abnormal Talent abilities.

Only S-rank Talent players of the same level had the strength to fight it.

"Who angered this terrifying Calamity Beast?" Tang Ping's heart was filled with dread, and he immediately ran towards the outside of the Jiangcheng Ruins.

He hadn't run far when he saw the gloomy sky enveloped by purple flames.

The purple flames were incredibly hot; just the heatwave made Tang Ping feel as if his mind was being roasted over a fire.

This was a flame that specifically attacked the mind!

And it was definitely S-rank!

Tang Ping immediately switched his Talent to Extreme Ice, and the extreme cold enveloped his entire body, which finally blocked the aftershocks of the purple flames.

His heart was filled with dread. Who was the owner of these purple flames? Just the temperature emitted by the flames made him so disheveled. What would happen if he were at the center of the flames?

Running behind a large building, Tang Ping stopped and looked back.

In the sky, a figure stood.

Purple flames enveloped the sky, making the world bright. Although the distance was great, Tang Ping, whose physique and mental strength had broken through forty, could still clearly see the person's face!

His heart was filled with disbelief.

"Brother Niu!"

Suddenly, he remembered what that person on the forum had said earlier about someone betraying the Xingyao Safe Zone.

Now, this place was near the Safe Zone, and while the remnants of Star Glory were being hunted, Brother Niu could appear openly in the vicinity.

What that represented was self-evident.

Tang Ping thought of that honest and simple big brother, still somewhat unwilling to believe that he would be the one to betray the Xingyao Safe Zone.

His gaze quickly swept over the figure again.

This time, he immediately noticed something was off.

"No, that's not right, this isn't Brother Niu." Tang Ping narrowed his eyes.

This person bore an almost ninety percent resemblance to Brother Niu, but there were still some differences.

"Moreover, this person's aura is clearly much younger. Brother Niu has been working for over twenty years, even if he changed, he couldn't have this kind of youthful vigor."

After reconfirming, Tang Ping was certain that this was not Brother Niu.

But this person was so similar to Brother Niu that it was impossible to say there was no connection between them.

Before Tang Ping could think more, he saw purple flames filling the sky, enveloping the Storm Beast!

The Storm Beast spewed hurricanes, and the already dilapidated ruins of the surrounding buildings were instantly shredded!

But as the purple flames burned, a large hand suddenly reached out and directly extinguished the hurricane!

"Level 7! S-rank Talent!"

"This is a Heavenly King Level Expert!"

Tang Ping lowered his gaze, not daring to look too much, as if afraid that an extra glance would make him noticed.

The Storm Beast's shrill screams echoed in his ears, and soon, the sound disappeared.

"Oh, congratulations, Niu Mingxuan, no, no, now I should call you Mingxuan Heavenly King!" A charming voice rang out in the sky.

"Empress Lihua, what are you looking for me for?" A indifferent voice carried a hint of wariness.

"Oh dear, we're all family, why be so nervous? Since you're here, why not come to my place for a visit?" Empress Lihua said with a smile.

The other side was silent for a moment.

"Alright."

When Tang Ping heard Empress Lihua, his spirit tensed, and his gaze swept over the two figures again. When he saw Empress Lihua's face, he instantly recognized her!

"It's her, it's actually her."

That hateful face, he knew it too well. Even if she turned into an old hag, he would recognize her at a glance! It was Wang Yanyan!

"Empress Lihua is actually Wang Yanyan." Tang Ping's gaze was gloomy; this was something he had truly not expected.

If Empress Lihua was Wang Yanyan, then the destruction of the Xingyao Safe Zone made some sense. This woman was extremely suspicious and most feared those she had suppressed surpassing her.

One must know that the core high-level executives of the Xingyao Safe Zone were basically all this woman's former subordinates, who had been tormented by her to the point of being worse than pigs or dogs. What she liked most was to withhold wages.

Often, she would withhold wages for half a year. With so many employees under her, she would hold their salaries for half a year, then use the company's convenience to make some high-return investments, and another piece of her sports car puzzle would be collected.

Once, Sister Wang's mother was seriously ill and urgently needed money. Sister Wang wanted to get back the half-year's wages that had been withheld, but all the money had been taken by Wang Yanyan for investments, so of course, there was none. The result was that due to the delay in treatment, even though colleagues all chipped in, it wasn't enough, leading to her condition worsening. Finally, after half a year, Sister Wang's mother pulled out her oxygen tube herself and passed away.

"Who exactly is this Niu Mingxuan?" Tang Ping muttered under his breath.

But in his heart, he had already figured out who it was. However, should he really tell Brother Niu? And it was Brother Niu from a hundred years ago.

"Then I'll just warn Sister Wang." Tang Ping's gaze was serious; he believed Sister Wang would make a very good judgment.

In the sky, the purple flames disappeared, and the man and woman returned to the Safe Zone.

Tang Ping withdrew his gaze and returned to his original position.

"Niu Mingxuan." Tang Ping repeated the name, quietly waiting for his return.

The pulling sensation in his consciousness appeared again, and Tang Ping fell into chaos.
