327 The Sinister and Vicious Means
Xiao Mingyan struggled to get up, and he accidentally stretched the wound on his back. Blood immediately soaked his clothes, and he looked extremely miserable. Even A’tian couldn’t bear to see him in this state, and he subconsciously glanced at Ye Xuan.
“Young Master Ye, he will die if he continues…”
Ye Xuan was expressionless. He knew that A’tian wanted to help, so he shook his head and said, “I only asked him to get up on his own. If he can’t even do such a simple thing, how can we talk about the rest?”
It wasn’t that Ye Xuan was deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Mingyan, but he wanted to see how far Xiao Mingyan could go.
To Xiao Mingyan, what Ye Xuan said that was simple was even more difficult than ascending to heaven. This was because the wound on his back was once again pulled, and it could be said that it was a heart-wrenching pain.
The supreme dragon bone had been pulled out, and it could not support his movements anymore. The current Xiao Mingyan was no different from a cripple. He gritted his teeth, and finally staggered to his feet while holding onto the wall.
An ordinary person could complete this action in an instant, but he had spent a lot of time. After finishing all this, he was already sweating profusely. His sweat mixed with blood, almost flowing into a small stream on the ground.
Xiao Mingyan was seriously injured and had not received good treatment. When he stood up, he felt his vision go black, and his body swayed as if he was about to fall.
A’tian cried out in shock. At the critical moment, a pair of hands held Xiao Mingyan and he was pulled back from the abyss. The last thing he saw before he lost consciousness was Ye Xuan’s pronounced face.
Immediately after, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with something. A strange medicinal fragrance spread out with a bit of sweetness, and his drowsy consciousness also recovered.
When Xiao Mingyan opened his eyes again, although the wounds on his body were still painful, it was much better than the tormented feeling just now. He could barely move now.
Knowing that it was Ye Xuan who had saved him, Xiao Mingyan said in a complicated mood, “Many thanks.”
Ye Xuan sized him up. “Do you know that you’ve been poisoned?”
Xiao Mingyan couldn’t believe it. “Am I poisoned?”
Seeing Xiao Mingyan in this state, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder. He had seen unlucky people, but he had never seen someone like Xiao Mingyan. Not only was his supreme dragon bone dug out, but he was also poisoned.
“The poison is quite interesting.”
Facing Ye Xuan’s sympathetic eyes, Xiao Mingyan had a feeling that what he was going to say next wouldn’t be very pleasant.
“It’s not obvious at first. It gets more and more painful as time goes on. But at the same time, it also has the effect of prolonging life, which is to hang on to your last breath and not let you die in pain. It only destroys your mind until forty-nine days later, when you bleed to death from all seven apertures. During this process, you will experience what can be called hell-like torture.”
A’tian couldn’t help but gasp. Just listening to the description was enough to make people shiver. “Who on earth did this? It’s too vicious.”
Ye Xuan was also very emotional. “That’s right. What is the deep hatred? I’ve only heard of it but never seen it. After all, this poison is rare. I didn’t expect to see it on you.”
Xiao Mingyan was a little stunned. He recalled what Xiao Wuyou had said. This must be the ‘hell on earth’ he had mentioned. It seemed like his younger brother hated him to the core.
He just didn’t know if Xiao Hong and Liu Ruxue knew about this. They didn’t let him live in peace. Instead, they wanted him to suffer and be tortured before he died.
Ye Xuan was still wondering why Xiao Mingyan was still alive even though he was so seriously injured. Other than his shocking willpower, this poison must also affect him.
The person who poisoned Xiao Mingyan did not do it to save his life, but rather to make him wish he was dead. It was truly sinister to the extreme.
“I think I know who that person is…”
Xiao Mingyan lowered his head and didn’t say anything. He had thought that he wouldn’t be disappointed again, but he didn’t expect that he had underestimated the human heart.
Seeing that his aura was getting weaker and weaker, A’tian quickly changed the topic. “Where should we go next?”
Among the three of them, besides Ye Xuan who had high combat power, A’tian didn’t have much cultivation. Whereas Xiao Mingyan was seriously injured and was in a precarious situation. Whether he could survive was a problem.
“We can’t stay in this place now.”
With the deaths of Zhao Qing, Zhao Pei, and others, the Zhao clan lost four masters all of a sudden. It could be said that they had suffered a heavy loss. If they knew the truth, they would not let Ye Xuan off easily.
The Zhao clan was powerful while the Xiao clan had Xiao Wuyou. If they knew that he had saved Xiao Mingyan, they would think that they were on the same side and deal with them.
Of the four big clans in Jade City, they had offended two at once. Ye Xuan and the others’ future was a little bleak.
“With the power of the Xiao clan and the Zhao clan, they should be able to find this place soon.”
A’tian seemed to have thought of something. “I know of a place. It’s remote and uninhabited, and very few people can find it.”
The three of them quickly headed to the location that A’tian mentioned. It was an abandoned mountain in the suburbs.
There used to be a mine here, but over-mining had led to very little ore left. In addition, there had been a major mine accident, which caused many people to die. There were also rumors of ghosts, so this place was gradually abandoned and no one ever visited it again.
“Let’s hide here first. Even if the Xiao and Zhao clans have eyes everywhere, they couldn’t find us in a short time.”
Along the way, Xiao Mingyan was very silent. It’s probably because of the reason why he was poisoned. No one would be in a good mood if they knew.
Ye Xuan had finally managed to arouse Xiao Mingyan’s desire to live. He wasn’t going to let him become dispirited. However, Xiao Mingyan had to overcome the hurdle in his heart. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how others tried to persuade him.
There was silence in the air. A’tian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he shut up when he saw that Ye Xuan and Xiao Mingyan didn’t speak.
After a long while, Xiao Mingyan finally broke the silence. “You said you would help me earlier. How are we going to break out of this situation?”
