Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 595 - 31: Deer Witnessing Injustice

The moment where neither heaven nor earth would respond was not Tang Xian's first encounter with such a situation; similar circumstances had presented themselves when he was dragged by the great Tengu to sink into the Ashen Sea on the southern islands.

But this time was the most special.

The fourth ray finally struck, and Ju Mang's rapid dodging within this confined space made her resemble a continuously bouncing marble.

After igniting her innate talent, Ju Mang could easily evade Constantine's attacks, yet she was unable to protect Tang Xian at the same time.

Constantine paid no attention to that, as he had corresponding means to deal with all situations.

Unable to escape this place, Ju Mang was like a fly trapped under a glass cover, tirelessly struggling until she would eventually come to rest, exhausted, at some point.

Constantine's gaze fell on Tang Xian, his indifferent diamond-like eyes devoid of any emotion.

This fourth ray was more powerful than the one that had annihilated Uranus and Ganesa.

It pierced straight through Tang Xian's knees.

Even Tang Xian could not bear such pain; his knees seemed as if they had been hollowed out, and he let out agonizing howls, but his body did not fall.

Because in the space before him, a metal spike suddenly appeared, nailing him in place.

Tang Xian's breathing grew more and more rapid, and his consciousness gradually began to blur.

While Ju Mang, dodging metal spikes at high speed, could only watch this scene from a distance.

The sixth and seventh rays came, and Constantine seemed to take pleasure in this act, as if it was punishment for blasphemy against the gods. His assault did not cease, continuously mounting attack after attack.

Rays horrifyingly penetrated through Tang Xian's ribs and joints.

After enduring such immense damage, what shocked Ju Mang was that Tang Xian was somehow still alive.

Indeed, the attacks avoided vital points, but even a Child of Order after igniting their innate talent could hardly endure so many devastating assaults.

Ju Mang understood the terror of that ray, and in these few seconds, Tang Xian had endured a full twelve, which would have meant certain death for any other being.

Yet Tang Xian's eyes remained open, as if to confirm Constantine's words that children of Eden are extremely hard to kill.

Tang Xian was like Jesus nailed to the cross. He weakly opened his eyes, looking at Constantine.

He had endured more painful things before: the corrosive burn of stomach acids from calamity-level beasts, the freezing cold and solutions poured over him by the Zhenhai Cang Dragon.

Only this time did he truly sense the Grim Reaper knocking at his door because the life recovery ability surpassing that of calamity-level beasts had vanished.

In the mines, even within the belly of the great Tengu, he could survive thanks to his powerful life force and terrifying recovery speed.

In terms of sheer resilience, Tang Xian was on par with any creature.

But now he was out of options, as the Exhaustive Ray from the judgment knight could suppress the life recovery of any beast. His greatest reliance was completely subdued.

Tang Xian's breathing grew more difficult, and as Constantine's footsteps approached, he said:

"Although torturing you like this truly has no purpose, I know that pain can bring about human memory. I am not able to feel the pleasure of revenge, but I understand that you will regret due to the pain."

Tang Xian did not respond. He had no more strength left to reply.

The combat ability of an Orderly far exceeded the imagination; he was utterly unable to mount even the simplest resistance, and that was the most desperate thing.

Powerful vitality and recovery, along with the accumulated resistance, were the trumps that had carried Tang Xian thus far, taming countless powerful creatures. But this trump was ineffective against the enemy before him.

Constantine's palm faced Tang Xian, and he said:

"Your memories are locked; you cannot access what transpired within the ruins of Eden. I can't go to the world of all beasts for now, but in any case, your plans will collapse with your death."

Destructive energy gathered before Tang Xian's forehead, and this time Constantine decided to kill Tang Xian.

Ju Mang wanted to intervene, but Constantine seemed able to anticipate her moves, and wherever Ju Mang planned to go, those shadow-like black metal spikes would immediately appear around her.

The only help was now rendered useless, the Grim Reaper whispered in his ear, and Tang Xian's mind flashed with many images.

All of them were regrets.

Whether it was failing to reclaim the fox clan for Qing JiuYu and Tang Xiaojiu, or not unraveling the mysteries of this world, or failing to bring the wonders of the Divine Kingdom to Baichuan City.

These regrets filled Tang Xian with a strong unwillingness, and he finally realized his own insignificance.

Though he often thought of himself as an ordinary person of no particular merit, his actions had still been too provocative to the Pyramid World.

The ray filled with the intent to destroy grew ever more intense, and at the moment it was to be unleashed, Tang Xian's thoughts turned to his parents and Li Xiaoyu.

He had not located his parents' place of death, nor looked after Zhong Xiuxiu properly, and most importantly, he had broken his promise to Yu. He had failed to bring back the people of the Li family and had even ended up putting himself at risk.

Burdened with guilt and resentment, it took Tang Xian a full second to realize that ray—he did not hit him.

In the instant between life and death, his eyes widened, and all his sensory abilities temporarily ceased functioning due to the massive blood loss.
