Chapter 8: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Dark Flame quickly removed the shoes and socks on his feet, and by the moonlight, he saw that in the center of his right foot, a small hole with the size of a needle tip was constantly flowing black blood, but in an instant, half of his foot had turned purple and black.

"Plotting?" Ziyan sneered: "Dark Yan, could it be that you forgot, you were the one who plotted against me first? Not to mention that I also left so many poisonous scorpions on the ground, but you even forgot that scorpions can burrow into the earth, who is to blame?"

Dark Flame clenched his fists hard, his teeth clenched loudly. When Ziyan confronted him, half of the poisonous scorpion returned to his body and became an arm, while the other half put on a half-moon formation in front of him, but he didn't move again, only made a defensive posture. Although Dark Flame's attention never moved away from the purple smoke, he didn't notice that among the countless poisonous scorpions, one of them quietly burrowed into the ground and stung a tail hook in the center of his foot.

"Tell me, why did you set up an ambush to assassinate me? Although Ziyan could see clearly, the black blood in the center of the dark flame was still flowing out, but he didn't dare to approach it carelessly, and still stayed in place, but he already had a smile on his face: "There are bones in the underground of this scenic spot, and you must have arranged it in order to coax me over." It's just that...... Was this your idea, or was it ...... Somebody's idea?"

Even if Fang Cai's hand took the lead, Ziyan finally knew that her rank was a craftsman, but Dark Yan was a warrior. And no matter what time it gets, it will not be a good choice to approach a fighter rashly.

"What do you think it would be someone's idea?" Dark Yan's handsome face was already distorted and hideous: "If I tell you that it was the dean who wants to kill you and order me to do it, do you believe it or not?"

"Dark Yan, do you think I'm an idiot?" Ziyan sneered: "If it's really the dean who wants to kill me, do you still need to spend a lot of money on Zhou Zhang? I won't even make up this kind of crude lie, Dark Flame, you have disappointed me too much. Besides, what reason does the dean have to kill me?"

"Ziyan, you're getting two things wrong. A heavy killing intent suddenly appeared on Dark Yan's face: "First, what we want is not your life, but the map of that seed that you secretly obtained. ”

"What?!" Ziyan's originally smiling face suddenly froze at this moment: "What seeds are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb. Your subordinates have already sold you, but you yourself are still in the dark. Dark Flame clenched his fists hard: "And the second thing is...... As a craftsman, you will never be able to understand the rank of warrior!"

As Dark Flame's words fell, the big tree surrounded by one person where he landed suddenly broke from the top half, and at the same time, Dark Flame also turned into a black shadow and fell straight down.

When the dark flame jumped, the force of a kick backwards was able to break this lesson of the big tree! And the direction in which he fell was not the purple smoke, but the Jiang Xiao under his feet!

Ziyan didn't expect that Dark Flame would immediately attack again in such a short period of time. The poisonous scorpion she evolved is called the Israeli Golden Scorpion, which is the most poisonous of the scorpions, not to mention ordinary people, even the awakened people of the civilian rank, and they can't be stung a few times. But Dark Flame had just been stung at the moment, but it was able to recover immediately!

And the dark flame that shot at Jiang Xiao like a bow and arrow, at this moment, the whole body turned into a faint dark red! And the clothes on his body also burned in an instant, and they turned into ashes and scattered in a moment.

Ziyan's reaction was naturally far beyond ordinary people, and as soon as the dark flame moved, she had already rushed towards Jiang Xiao. And the pile of poisonous scorpions on the ground that had formed a half-moon array had already returned to Ziyan's body after Dark Flame had just been stung, and they had melted into his left arm.

At this moment, Ziyan sprinted forward rapidly, and his left arm began to evolve again. Although her ability allows her body cells to infinitely simulate all kinds of creatures she has come into contact with, if she wants to change species, she can only evolve again after those creatures have reunited with her own body. And this time, what evolved from the left arm was countless poisonous bees flying in the sky.

To treat the three subordinates of Dark Flame just now, or to sneak attack Dark Flame himself, it is naturally more appropriate to use poisonous scorpions. But now that Dark Flame has made a head-on attack, and with this slow-moving poisonous scorpion, even if it is far more poisonous than the poisonous bee, there is no chance that it will be able to meet it.

It's just that after the bee cluster evolved, it didn't take effect at all as Ziyan expected. Although they flew towards the dark flame, enveloping the dark flame like a cloud of smoke, not only did they not stop the dark flame's advance, but instead rose a spark, followed by the diffuse smell of burning.

And Ziyan, who was sprinting towards the foot of the tree, also changed his complexion and snorted. The creatures she evolved, no matter what kind of species they were, were made up of cells on their bodies, and once they were injured or killed, they would also reflect the injuries on the body of Purple Smoke.

And since the swarm of bees failed to block Dark Flame, in the next second, Dark Flame's fist hit Ziyan's lower abdomen hard.

A scream, mixed with the sound of charred flesh, sounded at the same time, and the dark flame's fist had passed through Ziyan's lower abdomen, and out of itself, but there was not a trace of blood on it—because the blood had already evaporated.

But at the same time, Jiang Xiao was also kicked away by Ziyan, drew an arc, and fell into the distance, accompanied by Ziyan's shout: "Run! Run!"

The dark red color emitted by the dark flame's whole body is the ultra-high temperature caused by the extremely fast operation of energy in the body. Although there was no open flame, every inch of his flesh was as hot as a hammer that had just been taken out of the hearth.

The naked Dark Flame smiled and turned his right arm in Ziyan's lower abdomen, which suddenly made Ziyan let out a terrible scream again. Around the wound where she was pierced by the dark flame arm, the cells and tissues had been scorched, and the farther parts were probably already ripe.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Xiao landed heavily. Ziyan's kick deliberately controlled the force, and although it kicked him away, it didn't hurt him much, just sent it far away. After rolling on the ground twice, Jiang Xiao had already climbed up, but his body was covered with mud.

But when he raised his head and looked at the purple smoke in the distance, his whole body froze.

Purple Smoke ...... It was actually inserted in his hand by the dark flame and held high!

Obviously, Ziyan kicked him away just now, making him flee immediately, but Jiang Xiao couldn't move his legs now.

Purple Smoke ...... Why save him?

If it weren't for saving him, Ziyan wouldn't have been easily shortened by Dark Flame, and he wouldn't have been caught by Dark Flame so easily.

Clearly...... I'm just an outsider!

"I told you a long time ago that the rank of a craftsman and a warrior is too far apart. Dark Flame leaned his face closer to Purple Smoke and stared at her face: "Now, tell me, where is that seed!"

"Do you think I'll tell you?" Ziyan forced herself to endure the sharp pain in her body, and actually squeezed out a smile.

"Tell me, and I'll kill you right away. After all, you and I are also friends, and I can't bear to see you being tortured. But if you don't say it...... "The dark red on Dark Flame's body suddenly darkened, and his voice became more and more gentle: "I'll continue to lower the temperature to the extent that it can make you live the longest, how about it?"

"Do...... Dream ......" Ziyan squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"Yes, I know that you have the ability to freely manipulate the cells and forms in your body, and even the ability to hive the tissues around the wound to isolate and slow down the transfer of heat. But...... What do you think is the point of this other than delaying your death?" Dark Yan snorted coldly, and his face was already full of expressions of victory: "For example...... That's it!"

Dark Yan's right arm suddenly pulled out of his lower abdomen, and then slammed into Ziyan's right chest, bursting out again with a burst of black smoke and scorching stench: "Do you think, is it because you control the cells faster, or do I shoot faster?"

Purple Smoke once again erupted into a terrible scream because of the severe pain.

Dark Flame tilted his head and looked at Ziyan's beautiful face distorted by pain for a long time: "Say, tell me where the seed is, and then I'll cut off your head right away—swear by our friendship in the past." ”

"Dark Flame ......" Ziyan's eyes had turned white, and it seemed that he would faint in the next second at any time, but he still murmured: "You should never know, in addition to the rank ability, what my innate ability is, right?"

Dark Flame was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, he had already noticed that the unburned part of the swarm had spread out and swept towards the two of them from all directions.

But—that's useless. It is impossible for any creature to touch his body, which can reach up to 500 degrees. And at such temperatures, no toxin can have its original chemical form.

But as soon as the bee swarm came into contact with Dark Flame's body, it would be burned to the ground like before, but Ziyan still controlled the swarm of bees to fly towards him, what was this for?

Dark Yan's heart moved, although he knew that Ziyan still had a back move that he hadn't used, but in this short moment, where could he think about what Zi Yan's back move was? Just when Yan Yan was stunned, Zi Yan's legs kicked hard and slammed on Dark Yan's chest.

As a warrior rank, Dark Flame naturally wouldn't suffer any damage from Ziyan's kick, but with the strength of his legs, Ziyan pulled his body out of Dark Yan's right arm. Although it was still a sharp pain that was heart-rending, there was no blood coming out of the burnt and charred wound.

At the same time, the swarm of bees also flew around Dark Flame.

And then—

Booming bang!!

A huge ball of fire rose from the spot where Dark Flame had been standing.

With the power of that kick, Ziyan also bounced himself far away, and his legs were weak, and he had already rolled to the ground.

She struggled twice to get up from the ground, but her slender legs were only halfway up before she immediately sat down. Dark Flame had already seriously injured her, and the last kick did not completely let her out of the scope of the explosion, and her internal organs were already injured and injured.

Damn it...... Are you really going to die here today?

Ziyan secretly laughed miserably, and her heart was already filled with despair.

But the next moment, a pair of strong arms had already picked her up by the waist.

"Jiang ...... Jiang Xiao, damn it, why didn't you run just now!" Ziyan reluctantly raised her head before she saw Jiang Xiao's face and exclaimed.

"You saved me, can I leave you behind and let the dark flame kill?" Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth and roared at the purple smoke in his arms: "You...... Why did you save me! I've only met you twice, and I'm not from your academy!"

"I ...... I don't know ...... either" Ziyan shook his head slightly and gasped: "I was originally ...... You can really leave your ...... alone But...... Never mind. ”

She stopped talking and looked back behind her. The fireball that had just exploded was gone, leaving only a large crater in its place.

And in the center of the big pit, a bloody figure was curled up with his head in his hands, slowly standing up!
