Chapter 177: Chapter 172 Lead the Way Ahead
There’s a saying that goes, "With the eight extreme moves and armor, even gods and ghosts are afraid." After these two moves from Ye Tian, Ye Ying was already disoriented and suffering from multiple comminuted fractures.
However, Ye Tian was not heartless. Remembering the days when they had faced life and death together, even though he knew that Ye Ying had betrayed him, he still showed restraint. Otherwise, it would have only taken one punch to end Ye Ying’s life.
"Big brother! What are you doing! It’s me, Ye Ying!" Ye Ying’s mouth was bloody as he shouted in shock.
"What am I doing? How dare you even ask me why? You know very well what you have done!" Ye Tian’s expression was icy.
Ye Ying was seriously injured, especially his left arm and shoulder, which were comminuted fractures. Such terrifying injuries would have rendered any common person unable to stand, but Ye Ying was merely contorted in pain.
"What did I do?" Ye Ying looked bewildered, like a wronged child. His acting was indeed good, but it was not enough to deceive Ye Tian.
"You should know what I’m capable of, don’t force me to act," Ye Tian said with a grave expression.
There was a time when Ye Ying was Ye Tian’s left and right hand, his most trusted brother, the kind who would take a bullet for him.
Yet now, Ye Ying had sided with the King of Hell, aiding Ye Tian’s greatest enemy in deceiving and plotting against him, setting a trap for Ye Tian to fall into.
Such a brother was utterly disheartening.
This kind of brother, who betrays his own, is better off gone!
Hearing Ye Tian’s icy words, Ye Ying’s heart trembled. From Ye Tian’s detached gaze and cold tone, he could sense something was off.
Could it be that I’ve been exposed? Ye Ying couldn’t help but start to doubt.
Ye Tian’s gaze grew even colder, and he slowly said, "For the sake of our past brotherhood, I don’t want to torture you. Be sensible and tell me everything. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to be ruthless!"
Staring into the sharp disappointment in Ye Tian’s eyes, Ye Ying instantly furrowed his brows, realizing Ye Tian must have discovered his true identity. However, his life was in the hands of the King of Hell, and if he were to betray him, he would die a terrible death.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Ye Ying would rather die by Ye Tian’s hand than suffer a gruesome fate at the hands of the King of Hell.
After a moment of silence, Ye Ying spoke with regret, "Brother Tian, I am sorry, I have betrayed you. But I had no choice. If I had not been poisoned by the King of Hell, I would have never betrayed you." ...
"It really is the King of Hell!" Ye Tian guessed correctly; Ye Ying truly had colluded with the King of Hell.
"The King of Hell has poisoned my body. Without the antidote, I would rather be dead than alive. You know what the King of Hell is capable of—he has a thousand ways to make a person’s life a living hell. I, I really had no choice," Ye Ying said with regret, but overwhelmingly with helplessness. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The King of Hell, a devilish presence, could easily poison Ye Ying without trouble. Ye Ying had no way to resist.
Hearing this, Ye Tian frowned slightly and held Ye Ying’s pulse, immediately sensing the anomaly within his body.
"It’s Blood Scorpion Poison!" Ye Tian said, frowning.
The King of Hell, notorious in the Dark World, used his unrivaled poisoning skills. Wherever he went, bodies floated in rivers and blood flowed into streams, his brutal and bloody methods were clear to see.
This Blood Scorpion Poison, as notorious as the Peony Flower Poison, was frequently used by the King of Hell. The poison was potent and difficult to cure, and across the world, aside from the King of Hell himself, almost no one could cure it.
"Brother Tian, I didn’t want to betray you, but this Blood Scorpion Poison..." Ye Ying’s expression grew somber, filled with regret but also helplessness.
Back in those dark days, many talented and ambitious individuals, because of the King of Hell’s Blood Scorpion Poison, couldn’t endure the superhuman pain and eventually became his slaves, their brilliance ruined in an instant.
Ye Tian clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging into his palms, but he remained unmoved.
"You damn old devil from Hell, I will never let you go!" Ye Tian was furious.
This damned King of Hell, using such despicable means to persecute Ye Tian’s brothers, forcing Ye Ying to betray him, was infuriating beyond words.
If only he knew of the King of Hell’s whereabouts, the furious Ye Tian would march there directly and take his life without hesitation.
"Tell me! Where is the King of Hell?" Ye Tian glared at Ye Ying coldly; if not for his sympathy for his plight, just for his betrayal of him alone, he could have blown him away with a single punch. Disloyal people cannot be kept! ...
"And why did you trick me into coming here, what are you guys plotting? If you dare to deceive me again, I will not let you live!" Every sentence from Ye Tian was ice-cold, with absolutely no trace of leniency. ...........
Being poisoned might be pitiable, but it is no excuse for betrayal.
Ye Ying knew Ye Tian was a miraculous healer, yet he chose to degrade himself by helping his enemies rather than seeking Ye Tian’s cure. This was enough to prove that he was not entirely loyal to Ye Tian.
He had ended up in this situation because he had brought it upon himself, so he couldn’t blame anyone else.
Even if we step back ten thousand steps, Ye Tian’s brothers-in-arms from those years weren’t only Ye Ying. Why did the King of Hell choose only Ye Ying and no one else? Ultimately, it was because Ye Ying had ill intentions and was vulnerable to being used and threatened, which made him the chosen one by the King of Hell.
Flies don’t buzz around eggs without cracks; the logic is that simple.
"All this was arranged by the King of Hell, I was just an underling carrying out orders; he told me nothing," Ye Ying’s gaze flickered, his expression somewhat miserable.
"Not telling the truth, huh? Then don’t blame me for not having old feelings!"
The situation had developed to this point, and Ye Tian had already seen through Ye Ying’s disguise, yet he still claimed to know nothing, which was clearly a lie.
"You really won’t cry until you see the coffin," Ye Tian said coldly.
Ye Tian spoke with a cold face, suddenly flipping his left hand, revealing a Dragon-whisker Needle in his palm, which, under the sunlight, shone coldly like a strand of hair.
Seeing this object, Ye Ying’s body immediately shook. He knew all too well how terrifying the Dragon-whisker Needle was. Back in the Dark World, even the fiercest of tough guys ultimately succumbed to this tiny silver needle.
"You should know how fearsome the Dragon-whisker Needle is; I am giving you one last chance. Reveal the King of Hell’s plot, or else..." Ye Ying narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat ruthless.
"I’ll talk!" Ye Ying confessed outright.
Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction, knowing he wouldn’t dare play any tricks anymore.
All Ye Ying said was, "It’s all the King of Hell’s plot. This Hilton estate is actually his hideout. He had me lure you in and set a trap inside to kill you."
"Is that all?" Ye Tian asked expressionlessly.
"Considering our many years as brothers, please spare me. I was compelled against my will. You must have heard how terrifying the Blood Scorpion Poison is. I really had no choice!"
Ye Ying began to plead, "As long as you spare my life, I am willing to lead you into the estate. The King of Hell is inside, and only I know his location."
"Where is he, speak!" Ye Tian frowned, annoyed at him for still trying to negotiate terms at this point.
"The King of Hell is inside the estate. If you spare me, I will lead you in, okay?"
Fearing that Ye Tian wouldn’t agree, Ye Ying even specifically reminded him, "The estate has many traps and mechanisms. I know you’re strong, but there’s really no need to take risks. I set up all those mechanisms."
A flicker of unusual brilliance passed through Ye Tian’s eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said coldly, "Lead the way ahead!"
The deal was finally done, and Ye Ying, for now, was relieved. He still had value to Ye Tian, who likely wouldn’t kill him as long as he led Ye Tian to the King of Hell. What happened next would be their own affair.
A great battle was inevitable; as for who would live and who would die, Ye Ying didn’t want to bother thinking about it—it was all the same to him.
Ye Tian followed behind Ye Ying, step by step, into the Hilton estate.
The estate was bigger than expected, with tall sequoias planted along the cobblestone paths, neatly trimmed lawns, and several unknown birds perching in the trees, chirping non-stop.
As Ye Tian walked along the smooth path, several majestic buildings came into view, including a quaint amusement hall, a castle-like palace, and even a sports stadium resembling a bird’s nest. As for the commonplace golf courses, they weren’t worth mentioning and were innumerable.
The Hilton estate was extremely expansive, featuring not only complete recreational facilities but also a vast private wine cellar housing all sorts of vintage wines.
This place was indeed like an empire out of this world.
After entering the estate, Ye Ying stopped frequently, disarming the hidden traps underneath one by one in front of Ye Tian, dismantling dark crossbows, flying arrows, and ground spikes.
Ye Ying obediently led the way, and Ye Tian had already noticed that the path he chose cleverly avoided the cameras, seemingly to prevent the King of Hell from seeing them. Indeed, he was genuinely helping, which put Ye Tian slightly at ease.
Fifteen minutes later, they passed an area where all mechanisms had been disarmed without triggering the estate’s alarm system.
Then, a modest villa appeared up ahead, and the leading Ye Ying finally stopped, saying, "This is the core of the entire estate, where all the mechanisms are controlled. The King of Hell is inside."
"Go, lead the way; you go in first," Ye Tian said, mistrusting Ye Ying, uncertain if this villa was yet another trap he had designed.
Ye Ying, aware of Ye Tian’s wariness, didn’t dare to play more tricks. Frowning, he walked step by step toward the villa’s door, pulling out a keycard required to open it.
