The twilight was four, the sky was gradually darkening, and the night wind was extremely cold, Chen Yexing blurted out the words of sacrificing himself to save others without thinking, and he didn't even react to himself.

But his instincts told him that the Waste Fruit wasn't doing what he wanted, and that perhaps protecting the host's safety was its primary responsibility.

At this time, there was a scorching air flow in Chen Yexing's body, circulating back and forth between his meridians, endlessly, and after a while, the pain and itchiness in Chen Yexing's body gradually faded, and his limbs began to regain consciousness.

But Chen Yexing was immersed in a trance, just now this body was obviously influencing him with his subconscious, and the words that blurted out were undoubtedly what this body dominated him, that is, this body was controlling him!

As the current owner of this body, Chen Ye is like falling into an ice cellar, and his soul penetrates into this world, once his consciousness is driven away by this body, it will mean death!

The happiness of obtaining the Devil Fruit vanished in that instant, and Chen Yexing wanted to ask why this happened to the Waste Fruit, but the cold voice remained unanswered, as if it had disappeared, and there was no movement around except the howling cold wind.

As the sensation of his limbs gradually recovered, Chen Yexing subconsciously understood that the toxins in his body had been abolished by the waste fruit, and it seemed that this devil fruit, whose name sounded extremely unknown, still had its purpose at a critical moment.

In addition to worrying that his consciousness would be driven away by his body, what Chen Yexing was most worried about now was the poison in his junior sister and the frail old man.

They couldn't move now, and if the black-clad man who had fled was scared to return to this place in the future, none of them would end well.

This body did not give Chen Yexing useful memories, they may be the people who know the original owner of this body best, and will be an important link between him Chen Yexing and this world, so he can't let these two people have an accident.

So Chen couldn't care so much, since his limbs were already movable, even if the residual poison in his body had not dissipated, he had to get up to find an antidote for them, and it was these men in black who applied the poison, in case they accidentally injured their companions, maybe they would have an antidote.

But it often backfired, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, after getting up with difficulty, with a drowsy head, Chen Yexing searched all the corpses on the ground, but still did not find the antidote he wanted, he turned his head in disappointment, and looked at the two people lying on the ground uncomfortably.

One was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season, with a soft body and beautiful facial features, and a smile bloomed on her tear-stained face, and she said to Chen Yexing: "It's okay, we will definitely have other ways." ”

It should be Chen Yexing's junior sister, and next to her is an old man with a face full of vicissitudes but a gentle expression, with mottled blood stains on the corners of his mouth, several obvious wounds on his body, and his pupils are surprisingly black, like a pool of thick ink.

He said to Chen Yexing again in his weak and old voice: "Xiao Ye, come here, Master has something to say to you." ”

Chen Yexing was stunned, does Xiao also mean me, could it be that this body has the same name as me?

Chen Yexing's long black hair was disrupted by the cold wind, and his heart suddenly tingled, just like seeing a dying relative, his eyes instantly burst into tears, he couldn't tell whether this reaction was his body or his own, and he walked over in a daze to help his master and sister.

His master gazed at Chen Yexing's clear eyes gently, and in the battle with those black-clothed people, he saw with his own eyes that his apprentice had been hit by the poisonous sword that had quenched the Seven Star Begonia, but his pupils were no different from normal people at this time.

Seven Star Begonia is a terrible poison, the poisoned person from the pupils gradually turn black, after the eyes are covered with black, the toxin invades the brain, the poisoner begins to lose memory, and finally becomes an idiot, and after that, the toxin will pass through the brain and spine, eroding the human body, the muscles of the whole body will decay and peel off step by step, within seven days, until there is a skeleton left.

But the eyes of Koya in front of him did not turn black, which proves that he is not poisoned!

A smile of relief appeared on the old man's wrinkled face, he eased his breath, and continued to say to Chen Yexing: "Xiao Ye, take off the ring on your left hand for Master." ”

Chen Yexing couldn't help nodding, and took off the ring on the old man's left index finger as he said, it was a pure black ring, and the ring was engraved with a mysterious pattern that he didn't recognize, the pattern was simple, the structure was peculiar, or spiraling or bending.

The old man straightened his face: "Xiaoye, you kneel." ”

Chen Yexing looked at the old man with a solemn face, struggled for a few seconds, and then knelt down.

The old man forcibly raised his weak voice: "Zhong Yan, the ninth generation head of the Yushan faction, I would like to pass on the position of the head of this sect to the tenth generation disciple Chen Yexing!"

Chen Yexing looked at the old man in front of him with a blank expression, where is me?

The gentle look on the old man's face was replaced by sternness, and he said slowly, word by word: "Chen is okay, take over the ring of the head of this sect!"

Looking at Chen Yexing, who was kneeling there with a blank face, the old man's voice turned gentle, but his cough was even more serious: "Xiao Ye, the master's order cannot be violated, you will be the head of the Yushan faction in the future, wear it quickly." ”

As the cough ended, a mouthful of blood flowed out of the corner of the old man's mouth, and his breathing was immediately turbid, Chen Yexing hurriedly stood up and supported him, the old man did not have extra physical strength to support himself, and lay in Chen Yexing's arms.

Next to it was the helpless cry of the junior sister: "Daddy...... You're going to be okay. ”

Chen Yexing followed the old man's intentions and put the black ring on his left index finger, and the moment he put the ring on his index finger, an indescribable warm air flow suddenly passed through the ring and flowed along the meridians of his arm to his lower abdomen.

Seeing Chen Yexing put on the black ring, the old man was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, like a child watching himself grow up.

Chen Yexing wiped the bruises from the corners of the old man's mouth, in fact, he didn't care about the position of the head of the Yushan faction, he only hoped that the old man in front of him could have fewer regrets when he was dying.

Supporting the old man, Chen Yexing had already seen the fatal wound on his chest, the wound pierced the lungs with a sword, penetrated the shoulder blades, and did not find the antidote to the Seven Star Begonia, and he was powerless to return to the sky.

The old man was poisoned by the Seven Star Begonia, the wound was black and ulcerated, and the smell was smelly, as if to cover up his injury and not let his daughter worry too much, he held on to his last breath.

"Five years ago, you betrayed the Yushan faction and joined the Luo Wang organization, I didn't remove you, because I know that you have a bitterness that you can't say," the old man said intermittently, "Everyone says that you are the big devil, I know, my apprentice is not the devil, he is always careful and kind, amazing, he is the pride of our Yushan, the genius of the world." ”

The old man could barely say a very continuous word, his breath became weaker and weaker, his eyes began to drift, and Chen Yexing could feel that the old man's body was getting cold.

Tears came out of Chen Yexing's eyes, and he could only hear the old man's voice when he lowered his body: "Ah Nian is still young, after I leave, you have to take good care of her, don't avenge me, live well, I'm sorry for you......"

The old man lying in Chen Yexing's arms finally closed his eyes, his wrinkled face was apologetic, and the junior sister next to him couldn't cry: "Daddy......"

Chen Yexing had never experienced the scene of life and death, he couldn't comfort his junior sister, so he could only hug the old man's gradually cooling body tightly, and let the tears on his face fall down in the cold wind.

The junior sister next to her cried and couldn't breathe: "Third senior brother, why don't you come earlier......"

Chen Yexing couldn't answer her, he raised his teary eyes, the shadows of the night sky on the bamboo forest were swaying, the stars were scattered, and the junior sister next to him kept muttering and repeating that sentence in her sobbing, Third Senior Brother, why didn't you come earlier, until you finally passed out.

Chen Yexing put down the body of the old man in his arms, went over to probe the breath of his junior sister, she was just over-grieved and temporarily unconscious, Chen Yexing wiped away the crystal tears on her face for her, and then walked towards the corpses of the group of black-clothed people.

In his search for the antidote, he searched through all the contents of the corpse, and although he couldn't find the antidote, there was still something that could be used.

The senior sister was hit by the sad breeze, he could hold her and leave here, but he couldn't let the old man's body stay here, if he did, her senior sister would definitely hate him for the rest of his life, the old man was not only his master, but also the former head of the Yushan faction, and he would die with dignity.
