Lea’s legs clamped down on Cole’s waist while his hands gripped at Cole’s underarms to control his hands. His huge tail curled around Cole’s neck. Lea was like a rope binding Cole tightly.
Cole struck Lea’s nose with a vicious head butt.
Blood spurted out but Lea appeared unconcerned. His tail remained tightly wound as he held firm to the resolution to kill Cole.
Cole narrowed his eyes dangerously and gazed towards the still-sleeping Gu Mengmeng. With a smirk, he unleashed his fifth-level beast aura to force Lea off him.
Such a powerful aura was not something pure willpower could withstand. Lea was forced down to the ground and could not even lift his head. It was as if every inch of his bones had been ground to dust. Blood spurted out of his mouth, but he maintained his sly smile.
Lea’s chest heaved and his gaze slackened for a moment.
“What did you do?!” Cole asked as he gripped Lea’s neck.
Lea suffered serious internal injuries and spat out blood with every cough. He was obviously very weak now but still kept his victorious smile. “Give me the antidote for Chixuan and I will tell you… how to counter your poison.”
Cole held his head and laughed coldly. With his features half-hidden in the shadows, he looked horrifying and sinister.
“As long as I replace your position beside Ah Gu… what fear should I have against any poison?” Cole slowly pulled Lea closer to him. His smile was twisted and heinous. “Didn’t you know that Snake’s Tear of the Beast Deity is immune to all poisons? I just need to mate with her once, there is no poison that can’t be counteracted.”
Lea snorted. “It seems like you have a poor understanding of the Tear of the Beast Deity.”
Cole loosened his grip and flung Lea to the side. He squatted down while using his beast aura to restrain Lea. “What do you mean?”
Lea spat out some blood and placed one hand on the ground and the other over his own chest. “Mengmeng’s body is filled with venom now. Whoever mates with her will die of poison.”
Cole sneered. “Ninth Highness, your lying skills are so lousy. If she cannot mate, why is your mark on her ear?!”
Lea stared at him scornfully. “So what if I am lying? Do you think that you can still force her at this stage?”
Cole frowned with disapproval. “I didn’t force her then, and I will not force her now. I just… want to replace your position.”
Lea furrowed his brows and clenched his fists. Cole’s face was now even uglier and more twisted than that time when he placed him in exile. However, he could not summon the same hatred and rage as before.
Relaxing his fists, Lea shook his head with disdain. “I gave you your chance. It would have been great if you had just handed over the antidote for Chixuan, at least… your corpse would have been whole.”
Before Cole had time to comprehend Lea’s words, his innate fighting abilities caused his body to react. He took a huge leap backwards to find a murderous-looking Elvis standing in Lea’s original spot.
“Your hand…!” Cole was stunned.
Elvis smiled with a measure of scorn. His voice was cold and calm like the waters in the deepest wells of hell. Clear and without a ripple. “Having made so many mistakes and not even realizing it. You are truly… stupid.”
