Chapter 31 Hostage Exchange?
"Following you is the easiest way to relieve stress, and it also helps to share the burden," Wang said with a smile.
Caesar didn't even have time to glare at him. He smashed open the fire door of the stairwell, jumped down without hesitation, and his figure quickly disappeared into the gap of the descending stairs.
Huo Yuhao, sensing Caesar's rapid descent from below, quickly guided Chu Zihang from behind.
In order to find Caesar, Huo Yuhao had to overdraw his mental energy. Now he was bleeding from all seven orifices and was so weak that he could not even stand steadily. He could only be carried by Chu Zihang.
It wasn't that Huo Yuhao was embarrassed to let Erii continue carrying him; in fact, Erii didn't mind either. But Chu Zihang had stepped in, so naturally he couldn't watch a petite girl do this kind of physical work.
"Senior brother, the boss is being chased." Huo Yuhao's voice was very soft. If he hadn't been speaking right next to Chu Zihang's ear, and if Chu Zihang hadn't had such keen senses as a mixed-blood, he probably wouldn't have heard him. "It's Yuan Zhisheng, and there's also someone wearing a mask."
Erii paused in her steps.
She doesn't want to meet with Genjiro right now.
"Are you sure Caesar will come down from that direction?" Chu Zihang continued running forward.
"Sure."
So Chu Zihang put Huo Yuhao down and said to Erii, who was behind him, "Eri, take Sakura out."
Huo Yuhao had no objection to this.
"Eri, let's go first."
In his current state, Huo Yuhao would be of little use against Yuan Zhisheng, except as a hindrance.
His mental energy was not only exhausted, but it was also about to reach its limit, and he would soon fall into a coma.
Erii breathed a sigh of relief, then happily carried Huo Yuhao on her back, preparing to leave Genji Heavy Industries through the emergency escape exit.
But Chu Zihang was even faster than Erii when he returned. As soon as they met, he put Murasame on Erii's neck.
Behind Chu Zihang, Genjiro placed his Spider Cutter on Caesar's neck.
Not far away, Wang stood with his hands tucked into his sleeves, seemingly unconcerned that it was none of his business.
"Eri, come here to your brother." Genji didn't even glance at Chu Zihang, seemingly not believing that Chu Zihang's sword could pose any threat to Erii.
The king seemed to give a soft hum.
Erii froze, her expressionless face betraying the embarrassment of being caught running away from home.
She looked to Huo Yuhao for help, as if asking for his opinion.
Huo Yuhao: ...
He felt a splitting headache.
The worst-case scenario has occurred.
"Well done!" Caesar, unconcerned about the knife at his neck, whistled with delight at the sight.
Both sides have hostages, so neither side has lost this round!
"Eri, senior brother, let's go!"
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth.
No matter how you look at it, there's no chance of winning against Genjiro now. He can't help anymore. Chu Zihang has also exhausted a lot of his strength, and Caesar has been captured.
Currently, only Erii is capable of fighting, but Erii will not fight Genji.
What's the point of playing then?!
"Caesar, the Academy and the Gattuso family will avenge you!" Chu Zihang said decisively.
Caesar glared at them, annoyed, but then smiled and waved to them, "Let's go, when the principal arrives, let him avenge me first."
Chu Zihang nodded.
Erii's gaze briefly swept over Genjiro, then she turned and ran out without hesitation.
"It seems our respected patriarch doesn't quite have the authority of an elder brother." Upon witnessing this scene, the king let out a low, undisguised laugh from beneath his mask.
Erii's act of running away made him feel really happy.
Genji ignored the general who had come for some unknown reason, his eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao on Erii's back, his tone chilling: "Release Erii, and I can let you all leave alive!"
Caesar glanced at him sideways.
So this guy also thinks that Lu Mingfei used some kind of method to control Uesugi Erii.
Upon hearing Yuan Zhisheng's invitation to exchange hostages, Chu Zihang subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao had already fallen into a coma.
------------
The core area of the Starry Sky Forest, on the shore of the Lake of Life.
Lu Mingfei spent two days and finally completed the preliminary preparations for cultivation with the help of Tianmeng.
Upon discovering that Lu Mingfei had poor mental fortitude, Tianmeng attempted to examine Lu Mingfei's memories to see what was wrong with him.
However, Tianmeng failed. Although Lu Mingfei had a spiritual body and could appear in the Sea of Spirit, he was essentially using Huo Yuhao's body.
The memories are stored in the body, and no matter how much Tianmeng investigates, all she can see is Huo Yuhao's now empty memories.
This is also why Tang San and Ning Rongrong didn't realize that Lu Mingfei was faking amnesia.
Huo Yuhao's mind was truly blank.
Lu Mingfei's cultivation speed using Huo Yuhao's physical body was the same as Huo Yuhao's original cultivation speed. However, Huo Yuhao had previously sealed his legs and left arm due to eating random things, which greatly reduced his cultivation speed.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei's cultivation speed is very slow now.
Moreover, in order to stand up again, Lu Mingfei had to use the soul power he had cultivated to refine the ice and fire energy in his legs and arms.
It's actually a very tedious thing, but if you treat it like playing a game or clearing a dungeon, it's not too difficult for Lu Mingfei.
Cultivation, leveling up, monster fighting, leveling up... this process is just like playing a game for Lu Mingfei.
Playing games is Lu Mingfei's only forte!
"This child has quite good aptitude for cultivation." In her spiritual sea, Ice Emperor said to Tianmeng, "It seems you don't need to use Yuhao's body to cultivate for him anymore."
Tianmeng also felt this was an unexpected joy; finally, there was some good news.
"Yuhao had already refined most of the ice and fire energy; his body should return to normal soon," Tianmeng said, stroking her chin as she transformed into human form. "Once he recovers, let's begin training his combat abilities."
Lu Mingfei's performance when facing Tang San in Qiankun Wenqing Valley is enough to show that this kid... has no fighting instinct and no sense of danger!
Tianmeng even doubted whether the child had ever been in a fight.
He clearly comes from a world called "Dragon Raja," where dragons exist. This child shouldn't have never experienced battle.
"Tenmu, you're too anxious," Hyotei couldn't help but remind Tenmu.
Hyotei was not unaware of Tenmu's dangerous ideas.
This guy is afraid of death, yet he's incredibly bold.
"Actually, Xue Di and I don't care. We weren't going to live for many more years anyway," Tian Meng looked at Bing Di with deep affection, her tone bitter, her expression hiding guilt and unease. "Even if we only live for a few more decades, we've actually gained something. But you're different..."
Even if Hyotei couldn't survive the 400,000-year tribulation, she still had 10,000 years left to live.
