Sword Forest, if you barge in, you won't be able to leave?
Tang Zheng subconsciously thought of the array formation outside the Witch Tribe in the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains. Didn't it also cause people to lose their way?
"This is definitely a type of array formation. It's just that you're not proficient in these things, so you lost your way." Tang Zheng said solemnly.
"You have a way?"
Tang Zheng did not say too much, and said: "Let's take one step at a time. In any case, it's much better than facing the Imperial Advisor."
Li Xiaotian thought about it and agreed, the Imperial Advisor would not let them go, although they would lose their way in the Sword Forest, but wasn't there still Tang Zheng? His identity as a cultivator might be able to turn danger into safety.
"Martial, how are you feeling?" Tang Zheng turned his head to look, but did not see any trace of the Imperial Advisor, so he asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Martial's breathing was somewhat hurried, his face flushed red.
Tang Zheng touched her forehead and said: "Your forehead is so hot. Li Xiaotian, didn't you say that you have the antidote? "
A trace of panic flashed across Li Xiaotian's eyes, and he stammered: "I …" No. "
"What?" Tang Zheng turned pale with fright, "You actually lied to me again!"
Tang Zheng was so angry that his eyes widened. This Li Xiaotian really did not change his nature, he actually lied to him at this critical moment. Furthermore, this concerned Martial's life.
"You …" Tang Zheng's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast, he fiercely grabbed onto Li Xiaotian's collar, "You want to kill you!"
Li Xiaotian squeezed out a smile and said jokingly: "I saved you, but you want to kill me. Is this how you repay me for saving your life?"
"You are harming Wu's life. If I don't kill you, do I have to thank you?" Tang Zheng was furious, he blamed himself for being too naive, to actually believe her nonsense.
Li Xiaotian was not afraid and continued, "Do you think that if you hand yourself over to the Imperial Advisor, he will really give Wu the antidote? You're too naive. What kind of person is the State Preceptor? How could he just watch her leave? Both of you are already on his death list. He's just trying to trick you into submission. "
Tang Zheng was slightly startled. He had also thought of this at that time, but for that slim chance of survival, he had to take this risk. He had no other choice.
"Looks like you know this as well. You're just deceiving yourself. If I hadn't deceived you, would you have obediently turned around and fled? For her, you will definitely continue to hand yourself over to the State Preceptor without hesitation. At that time, both of you will be finished, and the State Preceptor will be the final winner. Do you really want to see this scene? "Li Xiaotian continued to chatter.
Tang Zheng was speechless.
"If you want to kill me, then kill me. In any case, I'm not your match. However, in the future, others will say that you, Tang Zheng, are ungrateful and actually want to kill your own savior." Li Xiaotian pretended to be carefree and said.
Tang Zheng's expression kept changing as he glared fiercely at Li Xiaotian. His gaze was as if he wanted to cut her into a thousand pieces.
Li Xiaotian, however, was not afraid at all. He raised his head and stared at him with a burning gaze.
Tang Zheng was in a mess. He really didn't know what to do. Without the antidote, wouldn't Wu's life be in danger?
If he went out and surrendered now, would he be able to exchange for the antidote?
He immediately rejected this absurd idea. Forget about what the State Preceptor was thinking at the beginning, with the State Preceptor's personality, how could he give him the antidote?
Therefore, this had already become a dead end.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on Tang Zheng's arm. Martial looked at him affectionately, shook his head, and said: "Don't kill her. She did the right thing. You can't sacrifice yourself for me."
Tang Zheng was about to refute when Martial's finger pressed down on his lips and continued: "Don't say it, I understand. This is fate. I accept it."
After saying that, he turned to stare at Li Xiaotian and said: "Although I hate you, I have to thank you this time. Thank you for helping me out just now, so that everything can still be salvaged and not slipping into an irreparable abyss."
Li Xiaotian laughed: "Tang Zheng, it seems that women are more reasonable than you."
Tang Zheng coldly snorted, and hatefully released his fingers. Li Xiaotian regained his freedom, tidied up his clothes, and said: "Let's not be in a hurry to blame who is right and who is wrong, leaving this place first is the most important thing."
Tang Zheng turned a deaf ear and asked Martial gently: "Can you hold on?"
"I'm fine." Martial said quickly.
Tang Zheng frowned and grabbed Martial's hand. What kind of person was Martial? She was a precelestial martial artist, so the running just now definitely wouldn't cause her breathing to become so chaotic. There must be a problem.
"I'm fine." Martial wanted to break free from Tang Zheng's hand, but his hand was like a vise, how could she break free?
She was very clear about the situation with her body. In fact, she had already felt that something was wrong. There was a faint pain in her chest, and she was unable to breathe. This kind of situation had never happened before, so it was obvious that the Heart Devouring Pill had begun to take effect.
The Imperial Advisor said that after the Heart Devouring Pill took effect, it would devour her heart, causing her to bleed to death from all seven orifices.
She was not afraid of death, but she did not want to drag Tang Zheng down, nor did she want him to see her miserable death. She hoped that the image she left in Tang Zheng's eyes was beautiful.
"Don't move, let me check." Tang Zheng channeled his Innate Qi, and threads of Innate Qi flowed along her meridians towards her body.
When the Innate Qi reached her chest, Tang Zheng couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache, because he could clearly "see" the scar on her chest, which was caused by the Fire King of the dragon group in the northwest desert. Not only her chest, but her hands were also injured by the flames, leaving behind scars.
Tian Chanzi had once said that this kind of scar could be removed bit by bit with Innate Qi, but it was not a short period of time. After Martial obtained the Fire Underworld Palm, he was engrossed in cultivation and did not come to Tang Zheng to remove the scar.
Therefore, after delaying again and again, she still had this shocking scar on her body.
Seeing the strange expression on Tang Zheng's face, Wu immediately guessed what she was thinking. He subconsciously looked at his chest, as if he could see the ugly scar through his clothes. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
As the Innate Qi flowed, it immediately made a new discovery. Tang Zheng's heart couldn't help but tighten, as if it was being ruthlessly grabbed by someone.
"How could this be?"
Outside her heart, there was a black thing wriggling, as if it had a life of its own. It extended its tentacles and attached itself to her heart. Every time her heart beat, dark red blood would flow along those tentacles to that black thing.
"What the hell is this?"
Tang Zheng turned pale with fright, as this scene was too shocking for him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Tang Zheng's ashen face, Wu asked curiously.
Tang Zheng shook his head and said: "Nothing, don't move."
Tang Zheng could conclude that this thing was caused by the Heart Devouring Pill. The Imperial Advisor said that he could devour her heart, and it seemed that what he said was true. This damned thing was not just absorbing the blood from her heart bit by bit, it was not impossible for it to devour her heart in the future.
That thing was alive, which made Tang Zheng think of a legendary spell — the Gu Technique.
The Gu Technique was a very mysterious spell. Even in the original cultivation world, very few people knew this spell, and those who were proficient in it were even rarer.
Just now, the Heart Devouring Pill must have contained a Gu worm. When Wu consumed it, the Gu worm was awakened and attached itself to her heart.
If there was no antidote, the Gu worm would completely awaken and then slowly devour Wu's heart, completely killing her.
In addition, if the Gu Technique was cultivated to the extreme, one could use these Gu worms to control a person's consciousness and use them as puppets.
The State Preceptor's Heart Devouring Pill obviously doesn't have the ability to control the host, but it's not difficult to kill her. " Damn, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion actually has such a weird thing. It seems that Ninjutsu is not completely useless. In the past, the Island nation stole a lot of good things from Hua Xia. "Tang Zheng thought indignantly.
Even so, he did not intend to compromise. He was prepared to try and see if he could help her get rid of this damned thing.
Hearing that, Wu's body slightly stiffened. He took a deep breath and held his breath as he looked deeply at Tang Zheng. He knew that he was going to heal her.
Her True Qi flowed to the outside of the cluster of Gu worms. Suddenly, the Gu worms shook as if they were stimulated. Those tentacles quickly grew and drilled into her heart.
"Ahhh!"
Wu's facial muscles immediately contorted as he screamed in pain. Beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead like rain.
Tang Zheng was shocked and quickly asked, "Martial, what's wrong with you?"
"I..." I'm fine. "Wu clenched his teeth and held on, but in an instant, he opened his mouth and let out a mournful scream.
Tang Zheng "saw" those tentacles crazily drilling into Martial's heart, and Tang Zheng's heart felt as if it had been ruthlessly stabbed by a knife. He already understood the power of this Gu worm, and although his True Qi was powerful, it would definitely have a harmful effect on the Gu worm. It was precisely because the Gu worm had sensed danger that it would counterattack without any regard for its life.
If Tang Zheng continued, perhaps the Gu worm would die, but Wu's heart would also be devoured by the Gu worm. In that case, everything would lose its meaning.
Tang Zheng unwillingly withdrew his Innate Qi. As expected, those tentacles stopped moving and did not continue to drill into Wu's heart. However, they were still greedily sucking the blood from the heart. At this moment, those tentacles had already wrapped around half of the heart, and the speed at which they absorbed the blood became even faster.
Wu stopped screaming and gasped for breath. His face turned from red to pale as he asked weakly, "How is it?"
Tang Zheng's face was gloomy as he resolutely said, "I will definitely think of a way to cure your poison."
Wu was dejected. Since he said so, then the situation was especially serious. She looked deeply at Tang Zheng, squeezed out a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter. Life and death are fated. I'm not afraid."
