"Tang San, don't even think about escaping! You'll taste the consequences of daring to provoke my man!"
Liu Erlong couldn't catch Flender and was already furious.
Now that she had a small fry to bully, she was completely unhinged.
Tang San was running towards Xiao Yexuan, but calculating the distance, he wouldn't make it.
Liu Erlong wouldn't let Tang San off the hook.
So, Tang San raised his arm. He still had plenty of Hidden Weapons.
When Tang San raised the Hidden Weapons, Flender's pupils widened, and he was instantly terrified.
Back then, Tang San had used this very posture to shoot a Hidden Weapon that had nearly killed him and Yu Xiaogang.
Flender loved Liu Erlong, and of course, he didn't want to see her hurt.
He quickly reached out to stop Tang San, shouting:
"Tang San, no! Don't hurt Erlong!"
But Flender was already far away from Liu Erlong. There was no way he could get between them in time to shield her from a fatal blow.
Even if Xiao Yexuan had a way to save Liu Erlong, Flender couldn't bear to watch her die in agony.
His heart would ache terribly.
"Ah~!"
Tang San's Hidden Weapons could injure even a Title Douluo, let alone a Soul Saint whose soul power was sealed.
A purplish-black Hidden Weapon pierced through Liu Erlong's chest, embedding itself in the ground.
Liu Erlong let out a soft cry, her body going limp as she sank to the ground.
She then gasped for breath, staring at the wound in her chest with disbelief.
What was this thing? It made her feel as if she'd rather be dead.
It hurt too much. She... she was dying.
Before she died, Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang behind her, filled with regret.
The moment she heard Yu Xiaogang say he loved her was also the moment of their separation in life and death.
Yu Xiaogang's expression was cold, revealing nothing.
But in Liu Erlong's eyes, this was the most handsome, the most caring Yu Xiaogang.
"Tang San! You... you bastard! Quickly give Erlong the antidote! Quickly give Erlong the antidote!"
Flender roared at Tang San, he didn't want to watch Liu Erlong be tortured to death.
"Hmph! This is her own fault, who told her to want to kill me? I'm just giving her a lesson." Tang San said with a cold snort.
He didn't care at all.
"You... you..." Flender was so angry he couldn't speak.
Suddenly, Flender seemed to have remembered something, and quickly knelt towards Xiao Yexuan, loudly imploring:
"I know you have a way to remove the injury from Erlong, please, please help Erlong, I don't want to see Erlong be tortured to death!"
"If there's a price to pay, you can make me pay any price, even my life!"
Liu Erlong was stunned to see Flender's disregard for everything, all for her.
Her heart began to doubt. Flender, who didn't even have the courage to confront her directly, how could he act so heroically?
Suddenly, Liu Erlong understood Flender's intention. He definitely wanted to use a Feigned Injury Scheme to win her heart.
Presumably, Flender beating Yu Xiaogang to that state, almost killing him, was also to eliminate a competitor.
What a devious and cunning person. Damn it, she said coldly to Flender: "Flender, stop being so fake in front of me. I... no matter what you do, I won't agree! I absolutely won't believe a single word you say."
Flender's heart ached, but he didn't stop kowtowing, wanting Xiao Yexuan to show mercy. As long as it could reduce Liu Erlong's suffering, he would do anything.
Xiao Yexuan couldn't help but shake his head. This Flender was too weak. He was still hoping to use Flender to give Yu Xiaogang a good punishment.
Finally, all he saw was Yu Xiaogang's vile face.
It was incredibly disappointing.
Xiao Yexuan had also had enough of Yu Xiaogang's act; he didn't want to watch this play any longer.
Then, with a wave of his hand, three people were ensnared by the vines and hung in front of Xiao Yexuan.
Flender was excited; Xiao Yexuan was about to act, and Liu Erlong wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
"Little San San's poison is still so deadly!" Xiao Yexuan smirked, not rushing to treat Liu Erlong. Then, he looked at Flender and Yu Xiaogang and said:
"I won't remove the poison, but I can transfer it. Which of you wants to bear the brunt of it?"
"Let... let me!" Flender didn't hesitate and raised his hand.
"Hmph! Flender, I don't need your fake kindness. Even if you died for me, I… wouldn't be sad for you!"
Liu Erlong bluntly retorted.
"I…" Flender, his good intentions met with ingratitude, wanted to argue, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
He could die then. At least he would have protected his 'princess.'
Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a smile. Excellent, Flender really is going to throw his life away, then die.
"Flender, Liu Erlong has rejected your offer, so this poison also cannot be transferred to you."
Xiao Yexuan said calmly.
"Why?!" Flender and Liu Erlong shouted simultaneously.
Liu Erlong, although she had refused Flender's offer, knew that if Flender didn't take the hit, then her beloved Yu Xiaogang would have to.
She didn't want Yu Xiaogang to die.
"A refusal is a refusal; there's no room for regrets. So, Master Yu Xiaogang, do you… want to transfer this poison injury for Liu Erlong? You might not die, but the pain will be ten times worse than the last time you were poisoned!"
Xiao Yexuan looked at Yu Xiaogang with a mocking expression.
"That's right, Yu Xiaogang, since you love Erlong so much, then… take this poison injury for her! Do you dare? Will you do it!"
Flender said through gritted teeth. He'd been nearly silenced and his heart sealed by Liu Erlong earlier.
Now, he could finally mouth off.
Although Liu Erlong didn't want Yu Xiaogang to suffer such pain, as a woman, no matter how strong she was, how could she not hope that the man she loved would shield her from the wind and rain?
Liu Erlong didn't immediately stop Yu Xiaogang. Instead, she watched him expectantly, truly hoping that the words "I do" would come from his lips.
Meanwhile, cold sweat poured down Yu Xiaogang's forehead.
Ten times the pain? Could anyone even survive that? He, Yu Xiaogang, was a man who had things to do. Who knew what kind of mental damage that kind of pain would inflict?
So, Yu Xiaogang shook his head decisively.
"I don't! Let Liu Erlong bear it herself."
Yu Xiaogang's tone was extremely cold, and he didn't even look at Liu Erlong once.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong stood frozen in place. Had she heard wrong? Yu Xiaogang didn't care about her life or death?
Impossible…
