Chapter 407 Losing the Joy of the Human World
Zhang Liang absorbed more than 6,500 years of vitality from 80,000 Xiongnu soldiers. He kept the rest for himself and only gave 300 years to Bai Yu, but this was more than enough for Bai Yu.
"If you can really save Bai Yu, I will follow you." Zi Yi said. If Bai Yu wakes up and Hei Yu is happy, she will be happy too. Besides, she feels much more comfortable looking at Zhang Liang than Zhao Gao.
"Give me the seed of life." Zi Yi said to Zhang Liang, the sooner Bai Yu wakes up, the sooner she can get rid of Zhao Gao. She really can't stand Zhao Gao's hypocritical face.
"I will only give this seed to Hei Yu." Zhang Liang withdrew his hand and held the seed tightly in his hand. This seed can only be given to Hei Yu. Only when Hei Yu gets it can it be considered as proof. If Zi Yi regrets, wouldn't he have wasted three hundred years of his vitality in vain?
"Give it to me..." A low voice came from the door. Zhang Liang turned around and saw Hei Yu in black clothes.
"Give it to me," Hei Yu said, "as long as Bai Yu wakes up, I will obey your orders."
No one knew when Hei Yu arrived here, and Zi Yi's aura was so strong that even Zhang Liang didn't notice his approach.
When Zi Yi saw Hei Yu outside the door, her eyes lit up, and Zhang Liang knew what was going on: It seemed that his guess was correct, this woman did have feelings for Hei Yu. Thinking of this, he was secretly happy, and he had one more bargaining chip to deal with Zhao Gao.
"Why should I trust you?" Zhang Liang asked tentatively, gently stroking the seeds in his hand.
Hei Yu looked straight at him: "Because there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends. Besides, the people I want to protect are the most important, and the others..."
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "We are the same kind of people, this is the only way to maximize our benefits."
Zi Yi sighed: "Now that things have come to this, let's go see Bai Yu first."
Hei Yu said nothing, turned around and walked out of the room, saying coldly: "Thank you very much, Zhao Gao."
He didn't say it explicitly, but Zi Yi understood what he meant and followed him silently.
Back at Zhao Gao's residence, Hei Yu went straight to the ice jade bed where Bai Yu was placed, ready to try the life seed given by Zhang Liang. However, Zi Yi suddenly stopped him and said, "Aren't you afraid that Zhao Gao will notice if you wake him up directly like this?"
Hei Yu glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'm afraid?" Then he slowly placed the life seed on Bai Yu's forehead. Soon, the life seed emitted green light and gradually injected energy into Bai Yu's body. Seeing Bai Yu's face gradually regain its color, Hei Yu's cold face gradually showed a smile. Zi Yi saw the smile on Hei Yu's mouth and felt extremely happy.
The energy of the life seed has been completely absorbed by Bai Yu, completing its mission. Its color gradually faded and eventually shrank.
Bai Yu opened his eyes and saw Hei Yu, Zi Yi and Zhang Liang in front of him.
Bai Yu tried to use his arms to support himself, but unexpectedly the originally cold blue jade bed suddenly turned red.
Seeing that something was wrong, Hei Yu immediately lifted up Bai Yu and blocked him behind him. Then, he said to the stone pillar in the distance: "Come out, there's no need to hide."
After saying that, he threw out a sharp weapon, and the stone pillar shattered instantly. A black light flashed and appeared in front of everyone.
"Oh, Zhang Liang is here too." Zhao Gao laughed sarcastically and said to Hei Yu, "Your brother has been lying on my ice jade bed for so long, and you didn't plan to thank me. Zhang Liang gave you a 300-year-old seed of life, and you trust him so much?" After saying that, he glanced at Zi Yi again, "Girl, you have such a big heart. I thought I was very good to you and you would do your best for me, but I didn't expect that it would not be able to match your friendship with this young man."
Zi Yi's face turned slightly red, and Zhang Liang slowly said: "Mr. Zhao, how are you?" He secretly inserted an unmarked seal into Bai Yu's back. Hei Yu felt Bai Yu's body tremble slightly, and thought it was just weakness from just waking up, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
This time, Zhang Liang used a seal that he had obtained from a mysterious Taoist priest in the city. The blue light in Bai Yu's eyes flashed and disappeared, and his pupils returned to their original purple color.
A hint of gloom flashed across Zhao Gao's eyes: "Zhang Liang, you have repeatedly obstructed me, and this time you want to win over my people?"
"Heh, Mr. Zhao, where do you get that from? You took Ziyi away from Heiyu, and Heiyu was at your mercy for Baiyu's safety, so how can you talk about the people around you?"
"Zhang Liang, don't make random accusations. I promised Hei Yu to save his brother. Over the years, I have been looking for a way to cure Bai Yu, and the cold jade bed is indeed maintaining his life. But now you only give him 300 years of life, do you think this can save him?"
"Mr. Zhao, this cold jade bed is indeed a rare treasure that can sustain life. But you didn't tell Hei Yu that it has a side effect, right?"
Hei Yu looked at Zhao Gao in confusion, as if to verify Zhang Liang's words. Before Zhao Gao could respond, Zhang Liang continued, "The Cold Jade Bed absorbs blood and injects ice. Although it can keep people immortal, if it continues for a long time, it will exhaust the user's blood and turn them into a living dead puppet. Am I right, Mr. Zhao?"
After hearing this, Hei Yu's eyes burned with anger. Zhao Gao had never told him this fact. If he had known this earlier, even if the cold jade bed could save Bai Yu, he would not have let Zhao Gao do it. He would rather take his brother to find famous doctors, even if the worst result, than let his brother become a living dead. Thinking of this, Hei Yu's body was full of demonic flames, anger filled his whole body, and the breath of death filled the entire space.
Zhao Gao was not in a hurry: "Hei Yu, I have expected this day to come. When the cold jade bed has drained your brother's blood, you will understand. But you are no longer useful to me. What happened today means that you are no longer my chess piece, so I will not keep you any longer."
Zhao Gao's right hand suddenly turned into a sharp claw, and went straight for Hei Yu's throat. The incident happened suddenly, and Hei Yu was unprepared, and instinctively raised the inlaid gold knife. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao's claw contained huge energy, which he had been hiding before, and only released it suddenly at this moment, without anyone noticing.
Hei Yu was knocked three meters away by Zhao Gao's palm and fell to the ground in a mess.
“Oh, Heiyu, do you think I’m still that useless guy who can’t even hold a weapon? After all these years, I’ve absorbed your evil spirit. Who else in the world can defeat me, Zhao Gao? Hahahaha…”
"Mr. Zhao, you are so confident and invincible. Is your next step to seize control of this city?" Zhang Liang looked at the arrogant Zhao Gao and continued to act while speaking.
"Zhang Liang, I see that you are quite talented. However, isn't it a waste of your abilities if you stay with the tyrant Ying Zheng? Follow me, Zhao Gao, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory." Zhao Gao had a very high opinion of himself at this time. He believed that he had refined Hei Yu's evil energy, and even if Zhang Liang and Hei Yu joined forces, they would not be his match.
"Mr. Zhao is an excellent martial artist, but he lacks what a man should have. If I follow you, I'm afraid Zhang Liang will lose the joy of the world."
