Boom!
A violent tremor sounded out on the flat ground.
At the same time, a massive wave of air, like a typhoon, swept outwards in all directions.
The men in black lying on the ground were forced to roll several times, their injuries worsening instantly.
The old woman, however, held her cane firmly, preventing her from being swept away by the blast.
"Ah!"
Wu Tian let out a fierce roar, pouring all his strength into resisting Su Qiannai's spiritual energy.
But this surge of spiritual energy was too heavy, too fierce. Wu Tian felt like a mortal struggling against a giant god.
A faint light flickered within Su Qiannai's beautiful eyes, and behind her, a massive phoenix-like figure abruptly spread its wings!
"Let it all end."
Su Qiannai said softly, and the phoenix immediately lunged at Wu Tian!
"This is bad!" Wu Tian's pupils contracted. Before he could retract his hands, he was sent flying by the phoenix!
"Wow!"
He crashed hard into Tang Qi's Ferrari, and in an instant, the luxury car disintegrated, parts scattering everywhere.
The entire Ferrari was rendered scrap!
The millions of dollars Ferrari had completely fallen apart.
Fragments of the Ferrari littered the ground, and black gasoline flowed slowly across the surface. Fortunately, it did not ignite.
The old woman was completely stunned by the scene. Such a spectacle was beyond the scope of normal human understanding.
In a daze, she thought she was dreaming.
Su Qiannai swayed her serpentine waist and slowly walked towards the wreckage of car parts. Her beautiful eyes shifted downwards, looking at Wu Tian lying on the ground.
"Wu Tian, you seem to be in quite a predicament," she said with a smile.
At this moment, Wu Tian was extremely weak.
His face had lost all color, as pale as white paper.
The only thing that drew attention was the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
His right hand was already ruined, the muscles completely blown apart, his entire arm a bloody mess.
Su Qiannai's attack, combined with the uncontrolled surge of his own spiritual energy, had inflicted unprecedented damage upon him.
If not for the residual spiritual energy protecting his body, he would likely have died here moments ago.
Su Qiannai sighed and said, "Why did you have to do this? What's the use of resisting?"
"Couldn't you have just left with me obediently? Why did you end up like this?"
Wu Tian could barely hear what Su Qiannai was saying. His ears were buzzing, and the nervous system in his entire brain seemed on the verge of paralysis.
He opened his eyes slightly, his gaze cloudy, not knowing what he was looking at.
Seeing his reaction, Su Qiannai knew his condition was dire and said, "Come with me."
"I cannot heal your injuries, but if we return, the family should be able to cure you."
With that, she opened her jade hand, and spiritual energy immediately enveloped Wu Tian.
Feeling the invasion of that spiritual energy, Wu Tian's eyes snapped open as if he had been electrocuted!
"Don't touch me!" he roared hysterically.
Su Qiannai was startled by Wu Tian's sudden reaction.
She was about to speak, but then, something incredible happened!
From amidst the pile of car parts, something emitted a dazzling radiance!
The light was so blinding, it was like the sun!
"What is that?"
For a moment, even Su Qiannai was greatly shocked!
She used her spiritual energy to shield her eyes and forced herself to look at the light.
It was a bronze toad, and the light was emanating from the pearl in the toad's mouth!
This toad was something Wu Tian had bought at an auction. He never expected something so miraculous to happen at this moment.
"Could this be..."
Sensing the supreme aura emanating from the pearl, Su Qiannai furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with disbelief.
As she stood there stunned, a world-shattering dragon's roar erupted from the pearl!
Immediately after, the toad exploded, and the intense blast of energy forced Su Qiannai back more than ten meters.
The pearl slowly floated into mid-air.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a golden-scaled dragon coiling and twisting within the pearl!
At this moment, the pearl seemed to have come alive.
It flew directly towards Wu Tian, then passed through his chest, merging with him!
The moment the pearl entered his body, Wu Tian felt a surge of spiritual energy, as vast as the sea, coursing through him.
He roared in pain, feeling as though his entire body was about to be torn apart by that spiritual energy!
Su Qiannai watched this scene with astonishment, not taking another step forward.
No one knew what she was thinking, only hearing her softly murmur:
"How could the Sacred Dragon Pearl appear here?"
"Could it be... that the legendary person is Wu Tian?!"
After a long while, Wu Tian finally regained his composure.
Strangely, his weakened state was gone. Not only had his complexion returned to normal, but his right hand had also healed completely.
He slowly got up from the ground, his chest rising and falling with heavy breaths, his eyes filled with anger and exhaustion.
Even though he didn't know what had happened, his physical condition was still not great. It was almost impossible for him to use his spiritual energy.
Su Qiannai quietly observed Wu Tian, and at this moment, her gaze had become somewhat peculiar.
No one could describe her look – it held surprise, confusion, and even... a hint of girlish curiosity.
Then, she withdrew her gaze, her expression solemn as she asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Wu Tian looked at her intently, a smile playing on his lips, as if teasing or mocking:
"Don't you know me better than I know myself?"
"If even you don't know who I am, how could I possibly know?"
Su Qiannai fell into a long silence, seemingly deep in thought.
"Is this fate?" she suddenly let out a low, cold laugh, then raised her head, her radiant smile returning.
"Wu Tian, you truly surprise me," she said, looking at Wu Tian, her expression shifting, as if filled with emotion.
"It seems I cannot take you with me today."
Su Qiannai's words made Wu Tian pause, then he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
At this moment, Su Qiannai shrugged and said, "Who knows? Perhaps taking you back wouldn't be a good thing for me either."
Su Qiannai's sudden change of heart left Wu Tian bewildered.
What had happened to make this powerful woman suddenly change her mind?
