Heaven and Earth were completely dyed red by this overwhelming blood-red color. Bathed in it, everyone's eyes were red. Even their pupils were dyed red.
Tang Zheng was apprehensive. He hadn't expected such a huge reaction. He subconsciously recalled how the Great Ancestor had stopped him a moment ago.
Could it be that there was some danger in dripping blood to claim ownership?
Xiao Bai didn't pay much attention to this. He only remembered to drip blood to claim ownership. After his heart's blood fused with the Bloodthirsty Scepter, he blurted out the incantation, and a mysterious connection was established between him and the scepter.
His body was also dyed red, and a ball of flame rose from his body. It burned fiercely, turning him into a man of fire.
Everyone was silent as they stared at him. They knew there was no turning back. They could only wait quietly for the result.
The Bloodthirsty Scepter flew up and shone with a blood-red radiance. It flew into the flames and landed in Tang Zheng's hand.
When the Bloodthirsty Scepter landed in his hand, a ball of blazing red light soared into the sky and merged with the flames. In an instant, the flames seemed to have become even more powerful.
Tang Zheng couldn't take his eyes off the scepter. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart as a strange energy emerged spontaneously from every corner of his body.
"This is that lethal poison …" He was shocked.
When the lethal poison entered his body, he was wholeheartedly focused on the Bloodthirsty Scepter. He even swore to fight to the death with the scepter.
He didn't pay much attention to the lethal poison and even seemed to have gotten used to it. He didn't expect the poison to show its effects now that things had calmed down.
He sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately circulated his energy to resist the poison. However, the poison had unknowingly entered every part of his body.
"Oh no!" He suddenly shouted. His attention was focused on Yuanying's body. The lethal poison had also infected Yuanying.
The Nascent Soul was even more fragile than him, and it immediately reacted strongly. It struggled to stand up in pain, and he immediately experienced this kind of pain.
His body felt like it was being torn apart as tens of thousands of steel needles pierced his body. The feeling was worse than death.
He had never cried out in pain before. No matter how serious his injuries were, he could endure it. However, this time, there was no other way. This was inhumane torture.
"Ahhh!"
A heart-wrenching scream rang out, scaring everyone.
Only then did everyone notice Tang Zheng's abnormal state. His entire body was emitting waves of black gas.
The Grand Ancestor turned pale with fright and shouted, "He's poisoned!"
Everyone suddenly realized that it must have been when they were underwater. What should they do?
The Old Ancestor was also helpless. In the past, there were others who had been poisoned by this poison, and they would definitely die. There was no medicine that could save them.
Otherwise, the Imperial Family would not have been wiped out. This was the result of the poison being too powerful.
Xiao Bai had already completed the blood binding process. The flames and bloody light around his body had disappeared, and the Bloodthirsty Scepter was quietly held in his hand.
When he saw Tang Zheng's miserable state, he was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He hurriedly said, "Master, I'm here to save you."
Tang Zheng's remaining consciousness hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xiao Bai, don't come over. This poison is dangerous."
Even he himself had been poisoned. If Xiao Bai were to save him and both of them were poisoned, wouldn't that be a great loss?
"No, Master, I must save you," Xiao Bai said stubbornly. His eyes were bright red, and he didn't care about his own life at all.
When the Grand Ancestor and the others saw this, they were so scared that their souls almost left their bodies. They cried out, "Your Majesty, don't!"
However, this time, they couldn't stop Xiao Bai at all. Xiao Bai rushed in front of Tang Zheng and was about to make a move without saying anything.
Tang Zheng understood Little White's temper and knew that even if he cried, it would be of no use. He suddenly had an idea as he had been able to neutralize quite a bit of the poison over the years. Wasn't this also related to the Bloodthirsty Scepter?
Could the Bloodthirsty Scepter be able to detoxify the poison?
Since that was the case, there was hope for him to cure the poison.
"Xiao Bai, don't be rash. The Bloodthirsty Scepter can cure the poison. Think of a way to cure me with the Bloodthirsty Scepter. I can still hold on," Tang Zheng shouted.
Xiao Bai was startled. He immediately communicated with the Bloodthirsty Scepter's artifact spirit. "You can cure the poison?"
"Yes, Master," the artifact spirit replied, no longer as unruly as before.
Xiao Bai was overjoyed. He secretly praised his master's intelligence. He had just seen the pond water being purified. How did he connect it to the Bloodthirsty Scepter?
"Then hurry up and save Master," Xiao Bai urged.
"Yes, Master."
The Bloodthirsty Scepter replied. A bloody light shot out from the scepter and landed on Tang Zheng's chest. Then, the red light spread out like veins and covered Tang Zheng's entire body.
Tang Zheng stared blankly at the changes happening to his body. When the bloody light hit him, the pain he felt decreased several times.
When the bloody light reached his Yuanying, the Yuanying stopped struggling. It was as if the medicine had cured the disease. The pain had completely disappeared.
All of these changes happened too quickly. His poison had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared in the first place.
Tang Zheng looked left and right. He couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
All of these changes were too inconceivable.
His gaze involuntarily fell on the Bloodthirsty Scepter. This peerless divine weapon was indeed a good item. It could even cure such a powerful poison in such a short time.
Xiao Bai looked at Tang Zheng in pleasant surprise. He asked worriedly, "Master, how are you?"
Tang Zheng shook his head. "Xiao Bai, thank you."
Xiao Bai scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
With that, he subconsciously stroked the Bloodthirsty Scepter with his finger. Streaks of bloody light swam around the scepter, rippling unsteadily.
When the others saw this, they couldn't help but marvel at the Bloodthirsty Scepter's power. It was simply a holy item for curing poisons. If they had it back then, dealing with the traitor wouldn't have been so troublesome.
They wouldn't have failed back then either.
However, the old ancestor's brows were still locked in a frown as if he was worried about something. His gaze wandered between Xiao Bai and the Bloodthirsty Scepter.
Xiao Bai jumped for joy and boasted to the old ancestor. "Ancestor, look, I've cured Master … Eh, Ancestor, what's wrong? Aren't you happy for me?"
The Patriarch's distressed expression attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at him in puzzlement. Only Tang Zheng's head twitched as he remembered that the Patriarch had stopped Xiao Bai from dripping his blood to recognize him as the Patriarch's master. He asked worriedly, "Patriarch, is there a problem with the Bloodthirst Scepter?"
The Forefather's heart trembled as he inwardly praised Tang Zheng's cleverness. His impression of Tang Zheng had changed a lot, so he didn't have a cold expression on his face. Instead, he nodded worriedly and said, "Yes, this Bloodthirsty Scepter is far more extraordinary than you can imagine. Recklessly dripping blood on it to recognize it as its master … sigh … I'm afraid … it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse."
The old ancestor wanted to say something but stopped. His attitude made everyone's heart hang high in the air.
