Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Then, his gaze fell on Shen Ye.

"They should be my sister's people, but who is that man, and why did he say that only I can deal with him?"

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Li Maozhen still couldn't figure it out. Although he often asked people to inquire about Qi Guo and his sister, he didn't know that his sister now had a man.

When Shen Ye saw Prince Qi, Li Maozhen, looking at him, he felt a sudden pang of panic. Although Li Maozhen's strength was nothing to him, and he could probably defeat him in a few dozen moves, he was still the Empress's brother and his brother-in-law.

However, just as he was pondering this difficult question, Chi Meng suddenly darted out from behind him, wielding a short sword and lunging at the Witch King.

"Sigh, we still have to fight. Forget it, let's take down my brother-in-law first, then deal with the Witch King." With a slight sigh, Shen Ye turned to Shi Yao and said, "Shi Yao, you help Chi Meng deal with the Witch King, I'll go... take down my brother-in-law."

Shi Yao nodded, then flashed in front of Chi Meng and struck the Witch King with a palm.

However, the Witch King made no move. He simply snorted, and a pair of conjoined twins with their hands tied together leaped out from behind him. They were Flower Bat and Ghost Head Demon, whom he had used his poisonous skills to cultivate into Great Heavenly Realm experts.

Upon seeing two Grandmaster-level experts suddenly appear, Hou Qing, who had been gently playing his bone flute in the back, could no longer hold back and made his move. He whispered a message to his sister and then launched a fierce attack.

“You should also go help Meng’er.”

Although there were two experts at the Great Heaven level helping Chi Meng, Shen Ye was still worried and said to Lu Linxuan and Miao Xuan.

The three women nodded, then leaped into the fray and joined the battle.

After glancing at the fighting group and seeing that they wouldn't suffer any losses in the short term, Shen Ye slowly walked towards Li Maozhen.

Then, when he was about ten steps away from Li Maozhen, he stopped, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Brother-in-law."

Li Maozhen, who had been wearing a cold expression, was taken aback: "What did you call me?"

"Brother-in-law," Shen Ye said with a grin, "Yun Ji is my woman, so of course you're my brother-in-law."

Li Maozhen frowned: "You say so? I didn't agree, and I don't believe my sister would be interested in you."

As an older brother, he has a general idea of ​​how high his younger sister's standards are.

Moreover, in those days, marriages were arranged by matchmakers and parents. The brother and sister lost their parents at a young age, and as the elder brother, Li Maozhen took on the responsibility of being a father. Although he was not a good one, he still had to give his approval if it concerned his sister's happiness.

“It’s fine if you don’t agree, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me, anyway, Yun Ji and I have already slept together. Of course, if you don’t believe me, we can go back to Qi Kingdom together and talk to Yun Ji face to face.” Shen Ye said with a smile, “However, the premise is that my brother-in-law can give me a way to kill that poisonous bastard.”

After speaking, he bowed deeply again, his attitude unusually polite.

But Li Maozhen remained unmoved, coldly looking at Shen Ye: "You think you can disturb my peace of mind with such words? How ridiculous."

"I'm telling the truth." Seeing that Li Maozhen didn't believe him, Shen Ye said with a wry smile, "Besides, I really don't want to fight with you, my brother-in-law."

“But I think so,” Li Maozhen said coldly.

……

(Let's go out for a drink to celebrate reaching one million words)

Chapter 461! Twin Miasma

……

"Also, don't call me brother-in-law. I don't acknowledge you as my brother-in-law."

After Li Maozhen finished speaking, he vanished from his spot in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Shen Ye, and he unleashed a powerful surge of true energy towards him with both hands.

Although Li Maozhen and his sister are both far above the Great Heaven Realm in strength, he is more than ten years older, and during his time in Miao territory, in addition to learning the art of Gu control, he has not fallen too far behind in cultivation. Compared to the Empress who also has to deal with the affairs of Qi Kingdom, he is still much stronger.

However, it's still not enough for Shen Ye, unless Li Maozhen can cultivate for another hundred or two hundred years like Yuan Tiangang.

However, Li Maozhen was far stronger than the Great Celestial Realm, and as soon as he made a move, Shen Ye immediately dodged to the side.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Maozhen is the Empress's brother.

"You really aren't going to fight back?"

After launching more than a dozen attacks, Li Maozhen stopped and stared coldly at Shen Ye.

But Shen Ye still said the same thing: "You are my brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Li Maozhen continued his attack without expression, and this time he held back, using all his strength.

Facing Li Maozhen, who was using all his strength, Shen Ye finally mustered up some energy. After all, his opponent was a master above the Great Heaven Realm. Even if he didn't suffer serious injuries, he wouldn't have an easy time after taking a few punches and kicks.

At the same time, Shen Ye would occasionally retaliate with a few moves, because constantly dodging would only make Li Maozhen feel that he was being looked down upon, which would worsen his already bad impression of him.

However, Shen Ye didn't dare to use too much force when he fought back. If he accidentally got killed or injured by his brother-in-law, how would he face the Empress in the future?

While their fight was relatively uneventful, Chi Meng's side was fighting much more fiercely. In her enraged state, Chi Meng was fighting with a life-or-death mentality, recklessly rushing towards the Witch King, but she was always stopped by the strange conjoined twin brothers.

If it weren't for the help of Hou Qing and Shi Yao, two experts at the Great Heaven level, she would have been defeated by that conjoined twins long ago.

However, as the experts brought by the Witch King gradually joined the battle, Shi Yao and Hou Qing alone were not enough to hold on. Moreover, the Witch King's people seemed to know that Hou Qing was practicing the Blood Weeping Manual, and even deliberately cut their palms and splashed blood on him, forcing him to defend and not attack.

Seeing the critical situation on Chi Meng's side, Shen Ye knew he couldn't continue to waste time with his brother-in-law. Immediately, his eyes narrowed, and he forced Li Maozhen back with a palm strike. Then, with a light tap of his toes, he pounced on the Witch King like a cannonball.

Fearing the Witch King's strange Gu insect techniques, Shen Ye drew his sword finger when he was still more than ten meters away from the Witch King. A crescent-shaped sword aura shot towards the Witch King, carving a deep trench in the ground it passed through.

However, when faced with Shen Ye's sword energy, the Witch King neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he channeled his inner energy and actually intended to take the attack head-on.

"Huh!" Upon seeing this, Shen Ye was immediately puzzled. He knew that the Witch King was aware of his strength. Although he didn't know where the Witch King had learned it from, he shouldn't be so arrogant, right?

Just as he was thinking this, the crescent-shaped sword energy struck the Witch King. As expected, he was knocked away by the sword energy, and the blood mist that he spat out was clearly visible in the sunlight.

However, before Shen Ye could deliver another sword strike to finish off his brother-in-law, he noticed that his brother-in-law also coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

"What... what's going on?" Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, and the true energy that had gathered between his fingers dissipated.

"What's going on? Hehe..."

The Witch King was not dead. Possessing the art of Gu worms, he clearly had an extremely strong ability to protect himself. He staggered up from the ground and pointed at Chi Meng, who was also completely astonished by this scene.

"Let this doll tell you."

Shen Ye turned to look at Chi Meng: "Meng'er, what happened? I fought the Witch King, how come my brother-in-law is also injured?"

Chi Meng frowned and said, "He used Twin Miasma on your brother-in-law."

"Twin miasma, so it was this witchcraft..."

Upon hearing these three words, Shen Ye immediately remembered that in the finale of the fourth season of the original novel, the Witch King had also used this witchcraft on Chi Meng. This witchcraft could make the caster and the victim live and die together; if the caster died, the victim would also die.

"But I've never heard of this witchcraft having this ability. I was fighting the Witch King, so how come my brother-in-law is also feeling the same way?"

Although puzzled, Shen Ye was somewhat relieved. If he didn't have this ability, he probably would have killed his brother-in-law as well.

But immediately, his face turned grim again. He dared not lay a hand on the Witch King now, unless he hardened his heart and killed his brother-in-law as well, but that was impossible.

Seeing Shen Ye's troubled expression, the Witch King laughed heartily: "I know I am no match for you, so this is the only way I can do it. Now, not only can you not kill me, but they can't kill me either, otherwise... His Highness Prince Qi will also die."

After saying this, the Witch King called all his men back behind him, while he himself stood at the front, hands clasped, looking at Shen Ye and the others with a smug expression.

Seeing the Witch King's smug expression, Shen Ye clenched his fist tightly, but then helplessly let go, cursing inwardly, "That poisonous bastard is really damn cunning..."

At this moment, Chi Meng and the others came to his side.

"What do we do now?" Hou Qing asked, frowning. He could tell that Shen Ye was hesitant and no longer wanted to fight.

"What else can we do? We can only leave here first and then think of a solution," Shen Ye said with a wry smile. He then looked at Li Maozhen, who was standing on the other side with a blank expression, and cupped his hands in greeting, "Brother-in-law, are you alright?"

But all he got in response was a cold snort from Li Maozhen.

Shen Ye didn't care about Li Maozhen's attitude. He only noticed that Li Maozhen's gaze towards the Witch King was somewhat unfriendly. He immediately understood that his brother-in-law probably didn't know when he had been bewitched.

As long as it wasn't intentional... Shen Ye thought to himself, then said to the people beside him, "Let's go."

“But…” Chi Meng looked at the Witch King with great reluctance, “Are we just going to let him go like this?”

"We can only let him go for now." Shen Ye stroked Chi Meng's hair and comforted her. "Killing him is easy, and there are many opportunities. But before that, we need to find a way to break the witchcraft in my brother-in-law's body."

"Only I can break this spell," the Witch King cautioned.

"Not necessarily." Shen Ye glanced at him first, then turned to look at Chi Meng. He thought of someone, someone who could remove the Twin Miasma.

Silently gathering his thoughts, Shen Ye cupped his hands to Li Maozhen and said, "Brother-in-law, please take good care of yourself during this time. I will find someone to remove the witchcraft from your body when the time comes."

This time, Li Maozhen nodded without making a sound.

Shen Ye smiled and then said to everyone, "Let's go."

……

Chapter 462! Dead Creek Forest

……

The Witch King did not stop Shen Ye and the others from leaving; he even ordered his men to make way for them to leave through the valley entrance.

After losing sight of Shen Ye and the others, the Witch King turned his gaze to Li Maozhen.

"I trusted you so much, yet you schemed against me." King Qi, Li Maozhen, was also looking at the Witch King, but his eyes showed no sorrow or joy, not a ripple of emotion.

The Witch King resumed his stiff expression, bowed slightly to Li Maozhen, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, but if I hadn't done this, I would have been dead just now."

"However, to atone for my sins, I am willing to fully support His Highness Prince Qi in his quest to dominate the Central Plains after the creation of the God of War and Strange Altar."

"Is that so?" Li Maozhen's eyes finally showed some movement, but the meaning was unclear.
