Chapter 34: The Dead Man's Tree
"Xiangye, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
All this happened in an instant, and by the time Zheng Tianyuan reacted, Granny Snake and Red Dragon had already turned into dried corpses, while Xiangye stared at the flower bones on the tree with an excited face.
"Crazy, hehe, the old man is not crazy, how can the old man be crazy?" Xiang Ye replied, but his eyes kept staring at the flower bones in front of him, and his expression looked a little crazy.
After absorbing the qi and blood of the snake mother and the red dragon one after another, the flower bone on the tree finally changed, the petals slowly unfolded, and a delicate and evil flower appeared in front of the three of them.
The flower has a total of five petals, and each petal shows a different color, red, yellow, blue, black, and white, which looks very showy.
It's just weird that on three of the petals, there is a human face, which is vaguely recognizable as Ah Leopard, Snake Mother-in-law and Red Dragon, the breeze blows, the flowers sway, the petals stretch and close, and the three human faces on the petals also slowly shake, as if they are smiling at people, which makes people shudder.
Zheng Tianyuan shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "That...... What's that?"
"That's the dead man's flower, the dead man's flower on the dead man's tree, the dead man's flower falls the everlasting fruit, the long-lived fruit ripens the living dead, and the dead man's tree buries white bones!"
Xiang Ye stared at the flowers, his eyes were eager, and he spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the flowers on the tree: "This tree is called the Dead Man's Tree, and that flower is called the Dead Man's Flower, and the Dead Man's Tree will bloom only if it is watered with living vitality and blood." As the name suggests, the fruit of longevity has the effect of prolonging life, strengthening the body, and inviolable to all poisons, and no matter how many injuries there are, as long as there is a breath, the longevity fruit can restore it, and it is one of the ten miraculous fruits. ”
"Dead man's tree, dead man's flower, longevity fruit, it's really ironic!" Ye Qing sneered: "To put it bluntly, isn't it just transferring other people's lives to yourself?"
"Hehe, it's not rough!" Xiang Ye grinned, his eyes still not off the dead man's flower on the tree.
"So, you raided the snake mother-in-law just to make the dead man's tree blossom and bear fruit!" Zheng Tianyuan asked.
"Not bad!" Xiang Ye nodded.
"Longevity Fruit, good, great, Xiangye, as long as you give me the Longevity Fruit, today's matter can be blamed for the past!" Zheng Tianyuan looked at the dead man's flower, and his eyes also became extremely hot.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiang Ye finally turned his head and looked at Zheng Tianyuan, his eyes surprised and playful.
"Alas, what a fool!" Ye Qing cupped his forehead, he could see that this Zheng Tianyuan was a fool with a lot of brains.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Zheng Tianyuan glared angrily.
Ye Qing spread his hands: "Gongzi Zheng, haven't you seen it yet? Today's incident is estimated to have been arranged by Xiangye!"
Xiang Ye glanced at Ye Qing with some curiosity: "When did you guess?"
Ye Qing said: "Just now, you should have known that there is a dead man's tree here, otherwise you wouldn't know so much about the dead man's tree, and from the moment you entered here, your attention was focused on the dead man's tree, which seemed a little strange." If these are all coincidences and accidents, then what is the explanation for your previous caution and rashly asking Ah Leopard to take the wooden box on it without figuring out the tree?"
"There is only one answer, and that is to let the Dead Man Tree absorb the life and blood of the leopard. The raid on Granny Snake was the same reason. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that Xiangye, your goal from the beginning is the Dead Man's Tree and the Immortal Fruit!, and Ah Bao and the others are all the food you prepared for the Dead Man's Tree!"
"Haha, the future is terrible, the future is terrible!" Xiang Ye laughed loudly: "Yes, the old man's goal from the beginning is to live forever." ”
"What do you mean?" Zheng Tianyuan still looked puzzled.
"What do you mean, it means that all this is arranged by the old man. Xiang Ye laughed proudly: "Otherwise, Zheng Gongzi, where do you think the treasure map of the old man with the blood shadow in your hand came from? It was given to you by the old man on purpose!"
"Granny Snake is your person?" Zheng Tianyuan said subconsciously.
Xiang Ye stroked his beard and said, "Of course, otherwise how could she have suggested that you cooperate with the old man in the first place? Otherwise, you idiot, how could you find so many people and obediently follow the old man here to die?"
"Of course, the old man just concealed a little bit of news about the Dead Man Tree and the Immortal Fruit, and I think Zheng Gongzi wouldn't mind. ”
"Granny Snake is your person, how can you be so ruthless as to kill her?" Zheng Tianyuan said in disbelief.
A cruel smile appeared on Xiang Ye's face: "There is only one immortal fruit, how can two people divide it, and one person is half? Of course, it is best to die one!"
"You are so vicious!" Zheng Tianyuan only felt that his body was cold for a while, and his eyes were black, as if the sky had fallen, he originally thought that the treasure map of the old man with blood shadow was a great opportunity, but he didn't expect it to be a well-designed trap.
"This dead man's tree needs the vitality and blood of the living to blossom and bear fruit, so you can just find some people with no background and no strength to kill them, why bother to provoke the Zheng family?"
Ye Qing said curiously.
"Hehe, if it's not necessary, the old man doesn't want to do this, but who let this dead man's tree grow next to the Jade Dragon Lake?" Xiang Ye said helplessly: "The blood of the Jade Dragon Lake is very weird, if you don't have special means or tricks, you don't dare to approach it at all." ”
"In Anyang County, there are very few people with such special means and tricks, and the old man inquired for a long time, only to learn that the Zheng family has a Buddha bone relic, which can restrain the strange blood of Yulong Lake! ”
"In addition, the more vitality and blood the Dead Man Tree absorbs, the better the quality of the immortal fruit it bears, and what is more vigorous than the vitality and qi and blood of a martial artist? And what martial artist can have a higher realm than the martial artist brought by Zheng Gongzi? The old man has always liked to keep improving, and he is perfect!"
Ye Qing shook his head: "I see! Xiang Ye is really a good means, a good plan!"
"Xiangye, this time my son has confessed!"
After a while, Zheng Tianyuan's head finally sobered up a little: "Don't want the immortal fruit Ben Gongzi, you calculate Ben Gongzi, killing Ah Leopard, Chilong and others, Ben Gongzi can also be regarded as if it didn't happen, and our Zheng family will not pursue it, as long as you let Ben Gongzi leave, how about it?" ”
"Hehe, it's great that Zheng Gongzi can think like this!" Xiang Ye smiled and slowly walked towards Zheng Tianyuan: "Actually, the old man doesn't want to be an enemy of the Zheng family!"
Zheng Tianyuan's face was happy, he only had the strength of the middle stage of condensation, Ah Leopard, Red Dragon and Snake Mother-in-law were all dead, he was not Xiangye's opponent at all, so he had to find a way to survive first.
As long as he can go back alive, what kind of bullshit Xiangye, dare to calculate him Zheng Tianyuan, he wants to make the other party unable to eat and walk around?
However, just as Xiang Ye approached Zheng Tianyuan, he slapped Zheng Tianyuan's head with a palm.
The incident happened suddenly, Zheng Tianyuan seemed to be scared stupid, or he didn't expect Xiang Ye to dare to kill him, he didn't react for a while, he was stunned in place, and watched Xiang Ye's palm fall on the top of his head.
However, at this moment, a flash of knife light suddenly slashed towards Xiangye's neck as if it had crossed the spatial distance.
This knife is extremely fast, but also extremely sudden!
But Xiang Ye reacted, and when the knife light was about to pass his throat, Xiang Ye's body floated back gently like a fallen leaf, dodging a knife that was close at hand.
"What a fast knife!" Xiang Ye exclaimed.
Ye Qing put away the knife and said with a smile: "Pass the prize!"
Xiang Ye was not angry because of Ye Qing's sudden move, and still had a kind smile: "The old man is very curious, how did you guess that the old man was going to kill him?"
Ye Qing smiled lightly: "What kind of person is Zheng Gongzi, presumably Xiangye, you know better than me, if you let him go, will he let you go? With Xiangye's shrewdness, how could you let him leave alive?"
"In addition, according to my observation, the dead man's flower seems to be incomplete, the dead man's flower has five petals, but now only three people have died, and only three petals have human face images on them, so there should be two more people, and the dead man's flower will bear fruit, and we only have three people left, not Zheng Tianyuan and me, can it still be Xiangye You? You deliberately let me in, isn't it just to make up for five people?"
"And compared with Zheng Tianyuan, Zheng Tianyuan's threat is obviously greater, so Xiangye, your first target will definitely be Zheng Tianyuan. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful, if it weren't for the fact that this immortal fruit must require the vitality and blood of five people to ripen, the old man is really reluctant to kill you!" Xiang Ye clapped his palms with a look of regret.
"You dare to kill me, you dare to kill me, my father is Zheng Feng, the head of the Zheng family, a martial artist of the Tuomai Realm, if you kill me, he will definitely not let you go!" Zheng Tianyuan came back to his senses from his previous stunned and screamed.
Xiang Ye smiled disdainfully: "The old man of the Zheng family can't afford to be provoked, but who will know that the old man killed you? Don't forget, this is Yulong Lake, not your Zheng family." Besides, when the old man eats the longevity fruit, increases his longevity, and then cultivates the "Blood Shadow Divine Skill", how can the old man take it in his eyes if he is just a Zheng family?"
"Therefore, you must die today. ”
Zheng Tianyuan was furious, mixed with a hint of panic: "You ......"
"I said Zheng Gongzi, save some effort, he won't let us go!" Ye Qing stopped Zheng Tianyuan and said: "For today's plan, we join forces and kill Xiangye, so that we can have a chance of life." ”
Yes, Ye Qing's purpose in saving Zheng Tianyuan was to join forces.
Although Zheng Tianyuan is not a good person, he is easier to deal with than Xiang Ye, so killing Xiang Ye first is the top priority.
"I want to kill the old man, hehe, I can't do it. Xiang Ye sneered, raised his wrist lightly, and two flying knives broke through the air, directly attacking Ye Qing and Zheng Tianyuan.
Ye Qing rolled on the spot, dodging the flying knife that shot at him with great grace, on the other hand, Zheng Tianyuan roared, took three steps in the air, and slapped it with one palm, with a fierce energy, vaguely with the sound of thunder and lightning.
The Zheng family is unlearned, and there is no limit to the thunder.
However, just as his palm was about to land on the flying knife, the flying knife suddenly became three, or to be precise, it was originally a three-handled flying knife, but it was blended together by Xiang Ye with special strength, so it looked like a flying knife.
After turning into three flying knives, the speed of the flying knives increased sharply, and the angle of the flying knives also looked very tricky and weird, attacking different parts of Zheng Tianyuan.
Zheng Tianyuan blocked the first flying knife, but he didn't react to the other two knives, one of the two knives was inserted into his chest and hit the heart.
The other slash was inserted into his eyebrow, killing him with a single blow.
One leaf blooms three flowers, and the flying knife chases the soul to kill!
