Tang Zheng's heart was in turmoil. He could clearly feel that the blood essence was moving towards Chi You's heart.
The blood essence had not yet returned to Chi You's heart and was still under his control. If it returned, it would be too late.
"Let's take a gamble!"
Chi You definitely did not have any good intentions. This kind of old fox who had lived for tens of thousands of years was shrewd and astute. Tang Zheng knew that he was not his opponent at all. If he was careless, he would fall into his trap. At that time, he might even be sold off and help him count the money.
Tang Zheng hurriedly circulated his energy, causing the blood in his heart to stop moving. Suddenly, it changed direction and moved in another direction.
Chi You was shocked and shouted, "Tang Zheng, what are you doing?"
"Nothing." Tang Zheng coldly replied.
Chi You was not an idiot. He immediately saw through Tang Zheng's intentions. "You don't want the blood essence to return to your heart?"
"This blood essence is so useful. I think it's more useful if it stays in your heart." Tang Zheng said.
"No, you're wrong. If the blood essence stays outside your heart, then your strength will be greatly reduced."
Tang Zheng snorted. "Is that so? Why don't I feel it now?"
Chi You was startled. He paused and said, "It's still too short, so it hasn't appeared yet. △ ←, when it does, it will be too late."
"I'm not afraid. This is my body, not yours. Why are you so anxious?"
"I'm thinking for you. After all, I'm in your body. We're in the same boat." Chi You said earnestly and anxiously.
Tang Zheng was still indifferent. The more anxious Chi You was, the calmer Tang Zheng was. He had never seen Chi You so sad about something before. Even when the Hundred Changes Star Lord was about to break the array, he was not so anxious.
There must be a reason for this abnormality.
Tang Zheng felt that he must have guessed correctly. As expected, Chi You was up to no good.
He couldn't help but feel a bit of lingering fear. His back was drenched in cold sweat. If he hadn't overthought things and allowed his blood to return to his heart, then everything would have been too late.
The two people living in his body were not ordinary people. It was as if he was walking on thin ice. He had to be careful with every step.
Close call!
It was too dangerous!
However, Tang Zheng didn't expose them. Both sides maintained a superficial balance. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for anyone if they fought to the death.
Since the heartblood was so important, it would be better for him to control it and balance Chi You. This was more advantageous than letting the Inner Demons restrain him. After all, the initiative was in his hands.
With a thought, Tang Zheng directed his blood to move towards his Dantian.
"What do you want now?" Chi You asked.
"I have to find a place for my blood to stay. My Dantian is a good place. I'll leave it here for the time being."
After Tang Zheng finished speaking, the blood came to his Dantian. Under the golden light, the blood was still bright red. It wasn't affected by the golden light.
However, the Golden Pellet suddenly started to rotate, and all the energy in his Dantian started to gather towards it. Especially the blood in his heart, there were traces of faint red light floating out. After fusing with the Golden Pellet, Tang Zheng clearly felt that his True Qi was slowly rising up.
"What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it!" Chi You roared as if he was about to lose his life. His voice was almost changing.
If he had a face, he would have seen that his face was deformed.
"Why are you shouting again?" Tang Zheng was unmoved. Instead, he asked indifferently.
"What are you doing?" Chi You was so anxious that his voice was hoarse.
"Nothing."
"Nothing yet? Your Golden Elixir is absorbing the energy of the blood. "
"Oh, is that so? What's there to be surprised about? Since there's enough energy in the blood, it's not a big deal to add a little to the Golden Elixir. After all, they're all part of my body. We help and love each other. "Tang Zheng said calmly as if he was used to it.
Chi You really wanted to say that the blood was his, not his, okay?
But he really didn't dare to say it. If he said it so openly, there would be a danger of falling out. Moreover, the blood was in Tang Zheng's hands now. He couldn't do anything.
He never thought that it would be such a result. Previously, when Tang Zheng kept urging him to stop, he had a little idea.
Chi You was a ten thousand year old fox. He was brave and smart. He had crossed more bridges than Tang Zheng. With a little thought, he came up with a brilliant idea.
This idea could solve the crisis in front of him and prevent the Hundred Faces Star Lord from breaking the formation. It could also benefit him endlessly and even change from passive to active.
He took the initiative to offer his blood to help Tang Zheng resolve the crisis.
What was the blood?
This was the source of power for Chi You's heart. It was the core of Chi You's heart. It was the key to the survival of Chi You's soul.
Losing the blood was definitely a devastating blow to him. Although it wouldn't immediately cause his soul to scatter, he would never be able to possess another body and be reborn.
He had always hidden the blood very well. Tang Zheng had probed Chi You's heart countless times, but he didn't find it.
When the blood absorbed the energy in the light screen, the energy contained in the blood would be very strong. When it returned to his heart, Chi You's soul would also become very strong. In time, he would be able to surpass Tang Zheng, take over the host, and be reborn.
This was Chi You's plan that he thought was flawless. With Tang Zheng's experience, he definitely wouldn't be able to see through it. Moreover, at this critical moment, Tang Zheng definitely wouldn't think too much about it.
Then, he could complete all of this without anyone noticing.
However, things didn't go as he wished. He never expected that Tang Zheng would think one more step after sensing the surging energy in the blood.
Just this one small step caused him to lose the entire game. He lost completely.
Once the blood left Chi You's heart and entered Tang Zheng's body, it naturally wouldn't be under Chi You's control.
This was also why he never dared to take out the blood easily. There were too many unknown variables.
He was always hunting geese, but he was pecked in the eye by the geese.
Chi You suffered in silence. He couldn't speak of his bitterness.
He hated it. Why was he so stupid? Why did he come up with such a stupid idea that he thought was perfect, but in fact, it was extremely bad?
Moreover, he couldn't say it out loud.
Chi You's heart was bleeding as he watched his Gold Core absorb the energy in the blood. It was like a blunt knife stabbing into his heart and gouging out large chunks of flesh.
Tang Zheng didn't care whether Chi You's heart was bleeding or not. In any case, he had already confirmed that Chi You really didn't have good intentions. One of his feet had already stepped off the cliff, and he almost fell down and shattered his bones.
One shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but one should always be on guard against others.
This sentence wasn't deceiving him!
If Chi You didn't want to harm him, he wouldn't have gone for wool and come home shorn. As for absorbing the energy in the blood, Tang Zheng didn't feel burdened.
However, the energy contained in the blood was very strong. He couldn't absorb it all in a short time.
At this moment, he had already absorbed enough energy. It was even more than the energy in the crystal.
True Qi rushed up and overturned rivers and seas. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and bloomed with joy.
"Haha, my cultivation has broken through again. I've reached the eighth stage of the Gold Core Realm. It's really a blessing in disguise."
"Tang Zheng, you're absorbing my blood to improve your cultivation." Chi You wanted to die and asked hoarsely.
"Why can't I?"
"This is my blood."
"Didn't I say it before? You're in my body. What's yours is mine. You and I are in the same body. Why are you so clear about it? "
Tang Zheng's words almost made Chi You vomit blood. However, he didn't give up. Chi You wanted to trick him. He couldn't encourage this evil trend, so he immediately released the Inner Demons.
Although the Inner Demons couldn't speak, they were watching coldly from the sidelines. They had already seen everything clearly. Immediately, they couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"Hahaha, Chi You, you also have a day like this. How about it? You still want to trick Tang Zheng. Now you know what it's like." The Inner Demons saw through Chi You's thoughts clearly.
Chi You didn't admit it. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm helping him."
The Inner Demons snorted. "Do you really think that other than yourself, everyone in the world is a fool?"
The Inner Demons changed the topic and began to flatter Tang Zheng. "Young man, you're really smart. You saw through his sinister intentions at a glance. Hehe, let me tell you, this blood is very useful. After you absorb its energy, your cultivation will increase."
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say a word.
The Inner Demons continued, "You and Chi You are in a state of rising and falling. The more energy you absorb from the blood, the weaker his strength will be. Don't you think this is a good thing?"
Tang Zheng was overjoyed. This was, of course, a good thing.
"Tang Zheng, don't listen to the Inner Demons' nonsense. He's setting a trap for us. He's killing two birds with one stone. Once my strength decreases, he'll gain the upper hand. Won't you be in danger? You have to be on guard against his evil intentions. He's not a kind person. "Chi You hurriedly reminded.
Hmm?
Tang Zheng's heart sank. These two old foxes were indeed not easy to deal with. Every word was a trap. They were digging a hole for him to jump into.
Fortunately, there were two checks and balances. If there was only one, it would be a tragedy for him.
It seemed that although the blood was good, it couldn't absorb too much energy. Otherwise, Chi You's strength would be too weak. In the future, he would be suppressed by the Inner Demons. Then, there would be no way to keep him in check.
However, it shouldn't hurt to absorb a little energy occasionally. After all, Chi You was so powerful. A little energy leaked out from under his fingernails would be enough for Tang Zheng to digest slowly.
"Young man, don't listen to Chi You's nonsense. I'm doing this for your own good. Say, when your cultivation is powerful, will you still have to worry about the Hundred Faces Starlord in the future? You can crush him with one finger. Strength is the most important thing. "The Inner Demons said earnestly.
Tang Zheng snorted. Strength was the most important thing. His life was the most important thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enjoy it even if he had strength.
"Inner Demon, do you think you can hide your vicious thoughts with your flowery words? Tang Zheng isn't a fool. He won't be deceived by you. "Chi You retorted.
The Inner Demons wanted to refute again. Tang Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted at them to shut up. Immediately, the two couldn't even let out a fart.
