Chapter 142 The drug doesn't work on me
When Wu Yong heard this, he was completely stunned. He looked at Li Mao with horror, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
Wu Yong's eyes widened, his body trembled slightly, and his voice became a little distorted due to excitement.
"Boss, how could you do such a thing? Why...why did you betray everyone? Why did you collude with these people?"
Li Mao's face showed pain and confusion. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain but didn't know where to start.
He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Wu Yong's eyes full of anger and disappointment, and stammered:
"Wu Yong, I... I had no choice. They threatened my family. If I didn't do what they said, my family would be in danger."
However, the fact is that the men in black did use Li Mao's family to keep him under control.
But it is undeniable that deep in Li Mao's heart he actually harbors hostility towards Mo Tianyu.
Back in the valley, it was those men in black who found Li Mao and threatened him with his family to kill Mo Tianyu in secret.
At first, he was unwilling, but because he liked Ye Zirou, he slowly developed hatred towards Mo Tianyu. This hatred spread wildly in his heart like a poisonous weed, gradually devouring his sanity.
In the end, he agreed to the black-clad men's request, which was to drug them when they arrived near Baiyu Village.
He also didn't know what the man in black had planned.
But what he didn't expect was that they not only wanted to kill Mo Tianyu, but also Ye Zirou.
Of course, he didn't know that there were actually two groups of men in black, and he always thought they were from the same group.
So, when the man in black tried to kill Ye Zirou just now, he regretted it deeply.
Wu Yong couldn't listen to Li Mao's explanation at all. He roared:
"But boss, you can tell Miss Ye and the others about this! They will definitely help you. It was you who told me not to go against Miss Ye and the others. It was you who told me..."
Wu Yong stopped abruptly when he was about to say something, because Li Mao told him that Mo Tianyu and his group were not as simple as they seemed.
Along the way, all he saw was the warmth and kindness of Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu, especially the fact that Ye Zirou had once extended a helping hand and saved his life in a time of crisis.
At that moment, his heart was filled with gratitude and admiration.
However, what Li Mao did was beyond his comprehension.
Li Mao was full of regret at this time. He shouldn't have let hatred cloud his mind.
Then, Li Mao immediately looked at Ye Zirou and said with a guilty look on his face: "Miss Ye, it is Li's fault. Li is sorry to everyone."
Ye Zirou did not respond to Li Mao's words, but turned around and continued to speak to the man in black:
"He didn't play tricks on you. I just saw through his tricks a long time ago. Besides, the drug doesn't work on me."
Li Mao was even more surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ye Zirou already knew that he had drugged her, and he felt even more guilty.
He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from her."
At this moment, Li Mao's eyes were always fixed on Ye Zirou, hoping to find a hint of forgiveness in her eyes.
He realized that his actions had caused irreversible consequences, and all of this was caused by his impulse and hatred.
He began to reflect on his behavior and hoped to find a way to make up for his mistakes.
At the same time, he also understood that no matter what, he could not hurt Ye Zirou or anyone else.
Then, he suddenly raised the sword in his hand high, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the man in black who was threatening him.
"I will never help you frame Miss Ye and the others again. Release my family immediately." He roared angrily.
The man in black laughed out loud towards the sky.
"Hahaha~ Xiaoyao Pavilion never leaves anyone alive."
After hearing this, Li Mao's face turned pale instantly, his body trembled slightly, his eyes were red, and a strong sense of despair surged in his heart.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand and said through gritted teeth: "What? You...you killed my family? In that case, I will fight you today, even if it means death."
Although his voice was a little trembling, it was full of firm strength.
After saying that, he rushed towards the man in black, waving the sword in his hand like an angry beast.
Facing Li Mao's attack, the man in black showed a cruel sneer on his face.
After all, they are well-trained killers, agile and ruthless.
The man in black easily dodged to the side, avoiding Li Mao's seemingly fierce but disorganized attack, and then drew his sword and fought back at an extremely fast speed.
There was a flash of cold light, and before Li Mao could even react, the icy sword had already pierced his chest.
Li Mao widened his eyes, filled with reluctance and disbelief.
Li Mao slowly lowered his head, looking at the countless wounds on his body and the blood that kept flowing, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that he could no longer escape.
He used up the last of his strength, turned his head with difficulty, and looked in the direction of Ye Zirou and the others, his eyes filled with guilt and reluctance.
Finally, Li Mao's body slowly fell down and landed on the bloody land.
His eyes were still open, as if telling of his inner resentment and regret.
When Ye Zirou and Wu Yong saw Li Mao fall to the ground, their faces were filled with shock.
Wu Yong rushed forward, hugged Li Mao tightly, and cried out at the top of his lungs.
"Boss, boss, please wake up!"
His eyes were red, tears were streaming down his face, and his face was filled with sorrow and anxiety.
Then he cast an expectant look at Ye Zirou.
"Miss Ye, Miss Ye, please save the leader quickly, please, please save the leader quickly!"
Just as Ye Zirou was about to step forward to check on Li Mao's injuries, the man in black suddenly stepped forward to stop her and stabbed Ye Zirou with the sword in his hand.
Mo Tianyu reacted extremely quickly. He rushed forward at a very fast speed and used the weapon in his hand to successfully deflect the sword of the man in black.
The man in black missed his attack and suddenly felt ashamed and angry. He widened his eyes, tightly gripped the sword in his hand, roared, and pounced on Mo Tianyu again.
Tianyu dodged sideways and avoided the attack from the man in black.
However, the man in black did not give up. He quickly adjusted his posture and swung his sword again.
At this time, Bai Wan and Bai Qian also joined the battle. They shuttled among the crowd and fought fiercely with Mo Tianyu.
Seeing this, Long Yi and Long San stepped forward to help without hesitation.
For a while, the fight was so intense that it was difficult to determine who was the winner and the scene was extremely chaotic.
