397: Chapter 397: Awakening from Serious Injury 397: Chapter 397: Awakening from Serious Injury In a narrow dark alley in Hong Kong.
A woman was limping forward while supporting herself on the wall, warm liquid spilled from her abdon—blood.
With every step she took, a new bloody footprint was left on the ground.
She pressed her hand against her wounded abdon under the dim street light that faintly illuminated her face, beads of sweat the size of beans surfaced on her forehead, and her face appeared sowhat pale and agonized.
“Whoosh.” Suddenly, the sound of the wind blowing past, and a figure appeared in front of the woman.
“Master.” Recognizing the person by the faint light, the woman knelt down with fear and reverence, inadvertently aggravating her abdominal wound, gasping in pain.
“Stop kneeling, there’s evil energy attached to your wound.
If not treated in ti, it will cause intolerable pain,” the person in front said, tone flat and hoarse, also a man, his face masked by a black covering.
If Ye Shikai were here, he would be shocked; this was his old adversary in Yanjing, known as “Boss Xing.”
“Poisonous Concubine, is Refining Mo already dead?” the man asked in a low voice.
This Poisonous Concubine was the female assassin who had attempted to seduce Ye Shikai in the hotel disguised as “Su Qingyu,” only to have her cover blown and be subdued by him.
And now, she and Boss Xing had both co to Hong Kong.
“Yes, master, it’s my incompetence,” Poisonous Concubine imdiately knelt all the way down, her body trembling.
“Here, take this to heal,” the man snorted coldly, throwing a pill on the ground.
But to Poisonous Concubine, it was as precious as a treasure.
She crawled a few steps, swallowed the pill, and the wound on her abdon stopped bleeding imdiately, quickly forming a scab.
Poisonous Concubine circulated her Inner Strength, taking a long breath of relief.
“Thank you, master,” Poisonous Concubine said respectfully.
“Lord above has already foreseen all of this, you don’t need to be too scared.
This is all Refining Mo’s own doing.
Blinded by vengeance, he also caused such a commotion that even the National Security Bureau sent people.
Everyone says Refining Mo is cunning, but I think he’s just a foolish donkey,” the man’s tone was filled with disdain for Refining Mo.
“But the results of the HST experint…”
“Don’t worry about it.
Since Refining Mo willingly accepted the injection of the potion, he’s already one of our puppets, not a pity to die.
If he is dead, lord above will find soone else,” the man said turning around indifferently.
“But what if Ye Shikai investigates?” Poisonous Concubine said a bit worriedly.
“It’s alright if he investigates.
Refining Mo has been killed by him, the trail has broken.
He won’t find us any ti soon,” the man continued, his tone suddenly becoming serious, “Right, is Ye Shikai in any danger now?”
“He shouldn’t be.
It’s just that he seems possessed, continuously slaughtering,” Poisonous Concubine said, feeling a chill down her spine as she rembered the intense fight in the laboratory between Ye Shikai and Refining Mo that she had witnessed.
That presence, that power, was chilling to the bone.
“That’s good, you know the lord’s command.
If Ye Shikai’s life is threatened, our lives are as good as over,” the man growled low, serious in tone, as if in dread and apprehension.
“Yes, I understand.” Poisonous Concubine nodded repeatedly, “Master, what exactly is the relationship between Ye Shikai and lord above, why is there such a command?”
“Shut up, don’t ask what you shouldn’t, don’t you even understand that rule?” Poisonous Concubine had not finished speaking before the man sternly shouted to stop her, stepping forward swiftly and angrily slapping Poisonous Concubine, knocking her to the ground.
“Yes, Master, I am sorry.” The Poisonous Concubine kept apologizing, the man glared at her with so anger, a gust of wind blew past, lifting the Poisonous Concubine’s outer garnt.
When the man saw the sowhat torn and shattered garnt, a trace of unusual color flickered in his eyes, then he slowly turned around and vanished into the dark alley.
…………
One day later.
“Where am I?” Ye Shikai slowly opened his heavy eyelids, everything in front of him was a white expanse.
Could this be heaven?
Am I dead?
“Bro, you’re awake.” At this mont, a voice rang by his ear, and the next second, a pretty face entered his vision.
“Zi Yun, why is it you again?” Once Ye Shikai recognized the person before him, he couldn’t help but exclaim.
“What do you an ‘again’?
Do you really dislike that much?” Zi Yun huffed coldly, turning her head away with her lips pouted in annoyance.
“Hehe, where are the others?
And, how long have I been unconscious?” Ye Shikai took a long breath of relief, realizing that his life was still intact, he finally relaxed and gently circulated his Inner Strength, adjusting his condition.
“They are all healing.
When Illusion Fox Sister asked to rush to the laboratory yesterday, all of you were already seriously injured and unconscious, especially you, Brother, I almost couldn’t feel your breathing anymore.” Zi Yun spoke with a bit of complaint.
Ye Shikai carefully thought about it, and it seed true.
Soul Destroyer, Demoness, and Nightmare had all been injured by Refining Mo, and it was their desperate efforts that had successfully delayed Refining Mo’s actions.
Zi Yun cheerfully picked sothing up from the side and handed it to Ye Shikai.
“Bro, you really are amazing, you killed Refining Mo.” Zi Yun said with a smile.
Ye Shikai looked closely at the object in front of him – it was a knife handle, a cracked knife handle.
“Refining Mo is really dead?” Ye Shikai couldn’t quite believe it.
“Bro, you didn’t forget, did you?”
“After the Demon Addiction outbreak, I don’t know anything that happened afterward.” Ye Shikai shook his head, he only rembered holding onto that strange stone, and then…
His mory was cut off.
“What?
Bro, your Demon Addiction broke out again.” Hearing this, Zi Yun exclaid excitedly, jumping directly onto the bed, causing Ye Shikai to stagger.
“Yeah.” Ye Shikai nodded, each outbreak of Demon Addiction left him unsure of what the outco might be, he might be lucky to survive or he might be gone for good.
But this ti was different; if Ye Shikai didn’t harness the energy of the strange stone to induce an outbreak of Demon Addiction, perhaps Refining Mo would have succeeded.
Speaking of this, Ye Shikai recalled the ssage he sent before the fight, wondering if Qingyu had seen it.
Ye Shikai didn’t know, nor did he dare to think about Su Qingyu’s reaction to that ssage – it was like a will.
Fortunately, he had co back from the brink this ti, it’s just that it seed he had so explaining to do now.
“Bang.” Just then, the door to the room was opened and in walked Soul Destroyer and Demoness, while Nightmare stepped in with the support of Illusion Fox, Ye Shikai looked at his seriously injured comrades and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pathos.
When would he have enough strength to protect everyone around him?
