Chapter 481 (2/2)

”Brother Huo, watch out!” Xiang Shaoyun was the first to recover from his shock and quickly pushed Huo Xudong away. He was unable to do anything else in time and was sent flying by the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil.

Sphhlt!

Like a kite with a broken string, he flew away and crashed heavily on the ground over 100 meters away.

”Brother Xiang!” Huo Xudong cried out in alarm. He quickly blasted the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil with his weapon, attacking at his full power. He was able to eventually force the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil to flee underground. He then quickly arrived beside Xiang Shaoyun. A depression was visible on Xiang Shaoyun's chest, and Xiang Shaoyun was coughing blood without stop.

”How are you, Brother Xiang?” Huo Xudong asked anxiously.

”B-brother Huo, th-that d.a.m.nable bewildering sh.e.l.l devil has broken through my defense. M-my heart...I-I don't think I can last any longer...,” Xiang Shaoyun said weakly while coughing blood.

”What? Brother Xiang! You must survive!” Huo Xudong cried out anxiously.

”I-if it wasn't for Ugly Gambler's poison flaring up suddenly, I-I w-wouldn't have b-been hit by that attack...Brother Huo, i-ignore me. Leave!” Xiang Shaoyun said weakly as a dark shade started covering his face. This was the sign that the poison had invaded his heart.

”How can I leave like this? I considered you a good friend from the moment I first saw you. I won't watch on as you die. Take out and use some of your spirit medicines and antidotes. That might help,” Huo Xudong persuaded.

Although he looked anxious, inwardly, he was thinking, This kid can't be feigning his injuries, right?

”Th-the p-poison has invaded m-my heart. Brother Huo, just leave without me. I don't want to be a burden to you. If I am lucky enough to s-survive this, we will meet again in the future...” Xiang Shaoyun forced himself to stand up, but his body was swaying weakly. Evidently, he would not be able to live on much longer.

”Brother Xiang...,” Huo Xudong cried out again. Xiang Shaoyun ignored him and continued walking toward a certain direction. But he had barely taken several steps before he collapsed onto the ground.

Huo Xudong rushed over, a dagger in hand. Inwardly, he thought, This kid has definitely been harmed by poison. But I don't know for sure if that is enough to kill him. I'll give him a stab to be sure. His secret will be mine, and I can also complete the a.s.sa.s.sination mission while I'm at it.

”Die!” Huo Xudong stabbed the dagger at Xiang Shaoyun's head.

Just as the dagger was about to hit, a breeze blew past, and Xiang Shaoyun's body drifted to the side. Xiang Shaoyun turned around, looked at Huo Xudong, and said coldly, ”You are indeed up to no good.”

Huo Xudong blanked out slightly. He then smiled and said, ”Hehe, Brother Xiang, you are quite a good actor, aren't you? You fooled even me!”

He had always been a cautious person and had only decided to make a move after seeing the dark shade on Xiang Shaoyun's face and confirming that he had been poisoned. Alas, he had still been fooled.
