Chapter 894 — Sister Yaoyao Is So Mighty

For the wound on Wei Zhao's leg, Gu Mengyao did not dare cut too wide. She figured that only her mouth could draw the bullet out, and with it the poisoned blood around it, which she could then spit away.

In that moment, Gu Mengyao never stopped to consider whether doing such a thing would be improper. She had already noticed that Wei Zhao's voice was growing weaker with every word; seeing it, she was frantic inside, so how could she spare a thought for anything else?

The bullet was out in no time, which came as a relief to Gu Mengyao. She spat it out and then helped Wei Zhao suck at the poisoned blood in the wound...

Shen Yushu and General Mighty fetched the stream water and, unwilling to waste a single moment, came racing back. But the instant she stepped into the cave, she was greeted by a sight that left her jaw hanging.

"Holy cow, Sister Yaoyao, you are so mighty! You are helping Arrow Man..." Shen Yushu cried out in astonishment. "You want to give yourself to him already? But no, you cannot! Arrow Man is hurt and very weak, so stop it now and wait until he recovers before you go any further, all right?"

One could hardly blame Shen Yushu for having such a vivid imagination. Gu Mengyao had her back to the cave entrance, her head buried between Wei Zhao's legs, and Wei Zhao was not wearing any trousers. A scene like that would have been hard for anyone to mistake.

At first Gu Mengyao did not catch what Shen Yushu meant, but when she heard the rest of it, understanding struck her all at once... She nearly choked to death on Wei Zhao's poisoned blood, hurriedly rose to spit it out, and turned to glare at Shen Yushu. "Xiaoshu, what nonsense are you spouting? I am sucking the poison out for Wei Zhao!"

"Huh?" Shen Yushu was taken aback. Seeing that Arrow Man was perfectly fine and still had his clothes on, she realized she had misunderstood, and a wave of embarrassment washed over her. "Oh, I see... hehe... Sister Yaoyao, here is the water. I brought it..."

Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a look, but then she thought of how suggestive her posture must have been just now, and could only shake her head with a wry smile. Thank goodness it was only little Xiaoshu who had seen it; anyone else would surely have blushed and quietly slipped away.

Gu Mengyao helped Wei Zhao clean the wound, then stood up. She had no mind to hold a grudge against Xiaoshu over what had just happened, and instead asked urgently, "Do you have any gauze we can use for bandaging?"

"No..." Shen Yushu rummaged through her schoolbag for a long while, then said in a small voice, "Would sanitary pads do?"

"..." Gu Mengyao did not know what to say. "Those are for absorbing blood, are they not? I do not think they will work, will they?"

"Then I suppose we do not have any," Shen Yushu said, then added with some surprise, "But Arrow Man's wound does not seem to be bleeding much anymore?"

Gu Mengyao turned to look, and sure enough, the wound on Wei Zhao's leg had stopped bleeding. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let us stick a sanitary pad on it as an emergency fix for now, and we will carry him down the mountain!"

Wei Zhao's body had been steeped in all manner of medicines since he was a child, so his capacity for self-repair was quite good; stopping the bleeding was a simple matter for him.

While Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were talking, Wei Zhao at last could hold on no longer and drifted into a dazed faint. He was simply too exhausted, his strength severely overdrawn.

The next moment, Wei Zhao entered the jade pendant's space. This was the one thing he had to be thankful for — that he could still enter the jade pendant's space. Earlier, he had been terrified that if he fell unconscious from too deep a poisoning, he would be unable to connect with the jade pendant's space ever again.

"Phew—" Wei Zhao silently counted himself lucky. Catching sight of Old Jiao in the jade pendant's space, he could not help but grin. "I never thought I would live to see you again!"

"I never thought so either. I truly never thought so. I was sure you were done for this time," Old Jiao said, nodding in wholehearted agreement. "But who would have guessed that a brat like you would dream up such a mad move? You are a lunatic, plain and simple! Utterly insane! Do you realize that if you had retreated a single step later, you would have been smashed to pieces? Do you think you are tougher against blasts than Ma Zhu, who cultivated the Golden Bell Shield?"

"That..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile, suddenly awkward. "At the time, I could not afford to care about anything else, could I? How could I have thought about the consequences? What I was thinking then was that it would already be good enough to take Ma Zhu down with me! By the way, Old Jiao, why did you not warn me?"

"What good would my warning have done? You had already stopped caring about such things — would you have paid any heed to my warning?" Old Jiao shook his head. "Still, I never imagined that you would develop such an application for energy — an energy bomb. Truly vicious! That one blast was no less powerful than the explosives you used to blow up the Qibing Building!"

"Heh... at school, my physics teacher always used to say one thing: when you are out of ideas, think of energy. So I thought of energy..." What Wei Zhao meant was the way one solved physics problems.

Over this period, Wei Zhao had often sat in on classes at school. When solving physics problems, the phrase his physics teacher repeated most was "when you are out of ideas, think of energy," and Wei Zhao had taken it to heart. Who would have thought it would become a crucial means of saving his life?

"..." Jiao Yazi was somewhat speechless. "You can call it luck, but I have to say, you have created a trump card — one that lets you defeat opponents above your level. Still, its usefulness is rather limited."

"Oh?" Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback, then nodded, understanding what Jiao Yazi meant. The energy bomb might be devastating, but unleashing it did tremendous harm to himself as well. If it killed the opponent outright, well and good; but if it did not, and the opponent still had the strength to strike back, then Wei Zhao would be the one in grave danger!

The energy bomb drains every last drop of energy from the body; once it is unleashed, one has staked one's entire life and fortune on that single move. It is dangerous in the extreme! That is why this move can only be used when there is no other way out.

Take today, for instance. Though Ma Zhu had been gravely wounded by the blast, he still had the strength to strike at Wei Zhao. Had he not been scared witless by Wei Zhao at the time, had he kept attacking, Wei Zhao would most likely have met his end right there!

The only thing was that Wei Zhao could still stand at that moment. Bedraggled as he looked, there were no signs of grave injury, and that left Ma Zhu utterly terrified. He feared that if Wei Zhao unleashed another such sure-kill move, he would truly be blasted into nothingness!

"Indeed, this move cannot be used carelessly. Otherwise, it really is dangerous!" Wei Zhao nodded.

"All right, hurry up and take a look at your own injuries," Jiao Yazi said to Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao sat cross-legged and silently circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. His body was in desperate need of replenishing its energy!

Energy from the jade pendant's space surged into Wei Zhao's body at incredible speed. This feeling of being filled to the brim with energy was truly wonderful! Wei Zhao could not help letting out a cry of pure comfort, reveling in the influx of energy!

But the very next moment, an expression of utter horror appeared on Wei Zhao's face!
