A huge steel gate carved with the image of a lion appeared out of thin air, ready to squash the Mother Empress and Tang Zheng into pulp.
A massive shadow quickly obscured the sky, crashing down with the power of Mount Tai. Tang Zheng's face remained calm, ready to dodge, but the Mother Empress was one step ahead. She grabbed his neck and slammed him into the ground, creating a deep pit.
