Martial Emperor of Couching Phoenix - C345 interstitium manus
After confirming again, Zhao Mingzhe realized that other than Ouyang Yao and the bones that filled the ground, there was indeed no one else.
There was still a faint pain coming from his shoulder. Glancing over, Ouyang Yao realized that a piece of flesh had indeed been gouged out, and the blood that had flowed out had gradually turned from black and purple to dark red. However, Ouyang Yao was holding a boning knife.
Raising the dagger in his hand, Ouyang Yao curled his lips.
“What are you looking at? The flesh on your shoulder was indeed gouged out by me. However, it is to understand the poison in your body.
Zhao Mingzhe touched his neck and discovered that there was also a faint wound there.
“Is this for the antidote?”
“The wound on your neck, is definitely not for the sake of detoxification, but because someone wants to kill you. It was Xiao Meng who blocked it for you. Otherwise, your head would have been chopped off a long time ago. The person who attacked you, upon hearing the sound of my arrival, probably ran away out of fear of causing too much trouble.
Zhao Mingzhe frowned, and saw blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth unceasingly. It seemed that after he had fainted from the poison, Xiao Meng must have protected him with all his might.
“Is Xiao Meng alright?”
“Fortunately, I received quite a bit of injury, but I did not lose my life in the end. However, I’m curious, who actually wants to attack you? ”
Hearing Ouyang Yao’s question, Zhao Mingzhe became silent. At that time, other than the few people who had already lost their minds, there were only Ye Jinxuan, Lv Badao and Zhao Wenwu present.
At that time, Grandma Meng had also come here from the whirlpool, and she had followed Ye Jinxuan closely. However, when everyone was fighting with Candle Dragon, she had not appeared.
As the saying goes, an old man never dies while being a thief. Grandma Meng had always been good at using poison, and this kind of person had a vicious mind. It was completely possible that he hadn’t gone crazy from fear of Candle Dragon.
Most importantly, Grandma Meng had once said at the cliff face that as long as she didn’t die, she would be loyal to Ye Jinxuan.
Following this line of thinking, it was most likely that although Ye Jinxuan said that she did not want the animal core, she did not think that way. In the end, she still arranged for Grandma Meng to poison her and take the opportunity to take the animal core away.
Fortunately, the heavens had eyes, and when Ye Jinxuan wanted to kill him, she couldn’t do so because of Xiao Meng and Ouyang Yao.
Although this was only Zhao Mingzhe’s speculation, the more he thought about it, the more Zhao Mingzhe felt that it was possible.
At that time, Ye Jinxuan should have understood the meaning of Zhao Mingzhe’s words. After leaving the Red Mountain Fury Sea, he would sooner or later seek revenge against her.
Zhao Mingzhe’s face, was obviously gloomy. Although he had long understood that the human heart was dangerous, Zhao Mingzhe had never thought that he would be nearly be in Ye Jinxuan’s hands again!
Seeing Zhao Mingzhe not speak for a long time, Ouyang Yao curled his lips and said:
“Looking at your appearance, could it be that you have been deceived by your closest kin in this desolate mountain range? The person who lied to you, could it be that Ye Jinxuan who was betrothed to you again? ”
Zhao Mingzhe’s eyes turned cold, and he ignored him.
“Look at your expression, is that true?” Zhao Mingzhe, I am not saying, you do not have much memory, you should have already steeled your heart and killed that Ye Jinxuan … ”
“Do I need you to teach me how to do things?”
Ouyang Yao choked a little at Zhao Mingzhe’s words, and then said somewhat angrily: “You … … you … … you … …”
“How can you be like this! You can’t tell who is good to you, can you? I’ve come all the way here to save you, but who would have thought, not only are you not thanking me, you’re even showing me your face!
“If it wasn’t for the homocentric Gu, which linked the two of us together in life and death, would you have come to save me? Also, when you saved me, did you not think of harming me? To be honest, when I was unconscious, were you interested in digging out my heart to remove the homocentric Gu? ”
Ouyang Yao’s face suddenly changed, and then there was shock, as though he could not believe that Zhao Mingzhe would say such a thing.
“Zhao Mingzhe, explain it to me clearly! When did I think of harming you? I think you must have been tricked by Ye Jinxuan again, to have vented all your anger on me. Let me tell you, if you have the guts, I’ll immediately tell you when I’ve hurt you. Otherwise, I’ll show you who’s boss! ”
Zhao Mingzhe suddenly stood up, looked into Ouyang Yao’s eyes and said:
“That light blue divine spear has a demonic aura within it. Back then, I was already trapped by my inner demon. Did you remind me not to use that light blue divine spear at all? If it wasn’t for the lucky chance I got at Zen Buddhism, I would have fallen into the Path of Demon sooner or later due to that pale blue long spear! That’s it? You said you didn’t think of harming me? ”
Ouyang Yao was stunned, a confused look flashed past his eyes.
“That’s impossible. I accidentally obtained that spear in the Celestial Transformation Pool. There’s no reason for it to have demonic qualities. How could this be? I really do not have any intentions of harming you. If it harms your thoughts, then I, Ouyang Yao, will be struck by lightning … ”
The more Ouyang Yao talked, the more excited he became. The boning knife that was used to treat Zhao Mingzhe had already been placed on Zhao Mingzhe’s neck the moment he bared his fangs and brandished his claws.
Zhao Mingzhe tilted his head and casually said:
“If you’re willing to swear, that’s your problem. Let go of this blade first, we can still talk!”
Ouyang Yao was startled, he took the knife back and aimed it at his own chest.
“If you don’t believe me, I can use my death to prove my innocence!”
“Pull it down. I only realized today that you are so unyielding. But can you use your brain? If you want to commit suicide, don’t I have to die as well? Forget it, I’ll just believe what you said! ”
“Really?”
Zhao Mingzhe nodded.
“It’s true!”
Originally, Zhao Mingzhe did not suspect Ouyang Yao too much. His words just now were half a test, and the other half, however, because of the loss of the Candle Dragon animal core, Zhao Mingzhe was already agitated. Yet, Ouyang Yao was still blabbering on and on about Ye Jinxuan’s mockery of himself.
Slightly dispirited, Zhao Mingzhe sat on the ground and sighed.
“As expected, the human heart is separated from the belly. No matter how close one is to death when killing the Candle Dragon Beast, once faced with such a huge temptation like the Candle Dragon animal core, everyone would choose to betray one another. Perhaps, it can’t be said that I betrayed you, and can only blame myself for not being able to ruthlessly kill Ye Jinxuan like you said. ”
Seeing Zhao Mingzhe’s dejected expression, Ouyang Yao felt too embarrassed to continue using his “taunting” ability!
“Actually, losing your Candle Dragon animal core was not a loss at all. Instead, you earned big!”
Zhao Mingzhe frowned, he did not understand what Ouyang Yao meant.
Under Zhao Mingzhe’s puzzled gaze, Ouyang Yao took out a rainbow colored bead from his spatial ring. Zhao Mingzhe realized that the spirit energy contained within the bead far exceeded that of the Candle Dragon animal core.
“Who is this pearl?”
“The essence of the Torch Dragon’s Eye, the Spiritual Gathering Pearl …”
