337 Trapped in A Dangerous Place
“Why?” Gu Mingzhou’s face was extremely pale, with traces of blood still remaining at the corner of his mouth. He held his chest with his left hand, staggered up from the ground covered with tortoise-shell cracks, and asked in confusion.
They were supposed to fight the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog together, so why did they suddenly turn hostile?
Moreover, Gu Mingzhou had never expected that the person who had fallen out with him would be the always graceful Shangguan Fei. This was really unbelievable.
“In front of benefits, all are enemies. Do you really think that no one will know about the matter of you obtaining the Qing Emperor’s inheritance just because you don’t say it?”
Hearing this, Shangguan Fei smiled brightly and was about to answer smugly, when a gloomy and sharp voice suddenly rang out and answered first,
The one who spoke was the poisonous hedgehog. No one knew when he had flown into the cave and was suspended above Shangguan Fei and the other three. He shook his spikes and stared at Gu Mingzhou.
Shangguan Fei and the other three, who had been like enemies just a moment ago and were envious at the sight of each other, did not guard against the approach of the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog at all. Instead, they were more like friends approaching them without the slightest discomfort.
No matter how stupid Gu Mingzhou was, he could see the clues.
“You guys are working together?” Gu Mingzhou was on the verge of collapsing as he spoke with a pale face.
Although he didn’t want to believe it, the truth was right in front of him. He couldn’t believe it.
Before he could finish, he started coughing violently again.
His body was in severe pain. Even though he had stood up again, his entire body was still on the verge of collapse, like a candle in the wind.
Gu Mingzhou’s injuries were too severe.
He had been seriously injured by the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog’s sneak attack on his lower abdomen. Although he recovered a little later, the internal strength in the thorns had damaged his injury in the battle just now.
Especially Shangguan Fei’s fatal blow, although he obviously did not kill him and held back.
However, it was obvious that he was prepared to directly cripple Gu Mingzhou.
His palm was so fierce that it almost instantly destroyed Gu Mingzhou’s eight meridians.
If Gu Mingzhou had not used his spiritual energy to temper his body in the past, the meridians in his body would have long disintegrated and he would have become a useless person.
His body was in a terrible state now. It was messy, scattered, and broken. It was already a miracle that he could stand up.
With his serious injuries, he was bound to be captured by Shangguan Fei and the others, as well as the even more terrifying nine-nether poisonous hedgehog.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Haven’t you heard of this saying?” The one who answered Gu Mingzhou was neither the poisonous hedgehog nor Shangguan Fei.
Instead, it was Wu Ji patriarch who had returned to his human form. He glared at Gu Mingzhou and said in disdain.
“Kid, I’m afraid you didn’t expect that you would have this day, did you? Do you still remember how you tortured me in the stone house? I’ll made you pay it back double today!”
Wu Ji patriarch walked out, as if he really wanted to attack Gu Mingzhou and avenge his humiliation.
What Gu Mingzhou had done to Wu Ji patriarch in the stone house still left him brooding!
It was no wonder. After all, Wu Ji patriarch was a big shot. In his eyes, Gu Mingzhou was just a lucky clown.
He, who was high and mighty, was humiliated by a clown whom he had always looked down on. Naturally, he would take it to heart.
He had always been a vengeful person.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have prepared for a hundred years and even lowered his status to cooperate with others just to destroy the seven demons Hall.
Gu Mingzhou naturally knew Wu Ji patriarch’s personality, so he had the intention to kill him in the stone house.
This kind of person had to be eliminated at the root to prevent future trouble.
Otherwise, it would be endless trouble for them to grow again in the spring breeze.
It was a pity that the situation was inappropriate at that time. Gu Mingzhou had to bear with it because of Shangguan Fei’s existence.
Shangguan Fei and the others, who were irreconcilable with the demons, suddenly changed sides and cooperated with the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog.
Gu Mingzhou was disheartened and felt that he could not escape this calamity.
Gu Mingzhou was all alone. Although he had received the Qing Emperor’s inheritance, how could he escape from everyone with his old and new injuries?
“However, if you want to kill me, you will have to pay a price!”
As he thought about it, he summoned the spear in his body and prepared to counterattack when Wu Ji patriarch attacked.
“I attacked just now because I had no other choice. If you are willing to hand over the Qing Emperor’s inheritance, I will ensure that you leave this place safely. What do you think? ” Shangguan Fei, who didn’t say anything, suddenly reached out and stopped Wu Ji patriarch, pulling him back. He himself took two small steps closer to Gu Mingzhou.
With a warm smile on his face, Shangguan Fei politely cupped his hands at Gu Mingzhou.
If one didn’t know about his past deeds and actions, one would probably think that he was a modest gentleman.
But unfortunately, after he suddenly attacked Gu Mingzhou with his palm and almost broke all the meridians in Gu Mingzhou’s body, Gu Mingzhou had a new understanding of this hypocrite.
“Hehe, you promise?” Gu Mingzhou pointed at Shangguan Fei and then moved to the left and right. He pointed at He Youliang, Liu Youcheng, Wu Ji patriarch, and the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog floating in the air behind Shangguan Fei and said with a cold smile.
He knew that it would be difficult to escape today, so he no longer hid anything.
He wouldn’t let them get the inheritance so easily.
The Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique was too terrifying. It must not fall into the hands of any one of them.
Otherwise, it would be a huge disaster for the entire world!
Hence, he definitely could not hand over the inheritance.
Cultivators would truly disappear from the world when they used soul obliteration.
All that was left was a useless body!
“I didn’t expect you to be such a tough nut to crack. This King has a hundred ways to obtain the inheritance from your soul!” In the face of Gu Mingzhou’s fearlessness in the face of danger, the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog spoke at an appropriate time and said with disdain.
The poisonous hedgehog’s seemingly casual words hit Gu Mingzhou’s heart.
The Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique must not fall into their hands.
However, even committing suicide to destroy one’s own soul could not destroy the Heavenly Devouring Technique. This made Gu Mingzhou feel a heavy sense of helplessness. However, the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog’s words had yet to be verified.
The obliteration of the divine soul was not an ordinary death. It was the true meaning of the soul scattering.
He didn’t believe that the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog would be able to obtain the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique after its soul was destroyed.
This kind of thing, it was better to believe it than not!
There must be no mistakes caused by the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique.
“Toad, you seem to have a grudge against this kid. I’ll give you a chance to take revenge. Just leave him alive, and you can do whatever you want!” The poisonous hedgehog suddenly changed the topic and looked at Wu Ji.
“Old hedgehog, although I’m not convinced by you, I fully agree with your decision. Thank you!” Wu Ji patriarch sneered and cupped his hands at the poisonous hedgehog.
Wu Ji sect’s patriarch pushed Shangguan Fei away and walked toward Gu Mingzhou with a sinister smile.
Shangguan Fei wanted to stop him, but he seemed to have thought of something. There was a moment of hesitation in his eyes, but in the end, he gave up the idea of stopping Wu Ji patriarch and looked at Gu Mingzhou coldly.
Gu Mingzhou pursed his lips slightly, his expression was grim.
He stared at the approaching Wu Ji patriarch and clenched his right hand again. The spear appeared in his body and he was ready to fight.
