Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

The tumor seemed to be its vital point. The python king let out a deafening scream, its massive body twisting wildly. Zhan Yan was thrown so hard he almost fell, and could only grip the sword hilt tightly, letting the black blood pour down the blade onto himself.

"Give it your all!" Wei Ziyuan led the remaining guards, bundled the burning dry branches into torches, and thrust them all at the python king's eyes and vital spot.

The python king's eyes were scorched by the fire, and it completely lost its way. It frantically crashed into the shore, knocking down a grove of trees and causing the boat to shift repeatedly, about to slide into the deep water.

Several of the less seriously injured guards rushed to the side of the boat and used ropes to secure it to a large tree on the shore.

Taking advantage of the python king's struggle, Zhan Yan suddenly drew his long sword and thrust it towards its vital spot.

The sword went straight to the hilt, and the python king's movements suddenly stopped. Its scarlet eyes gradually lost their luster, and its massive body crashed to the ground, breaking several large trees. Dark green venom flowed from the wound, corroding the ground and creating grooves.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, still shaken. Zhan Yan, clutching his bleeding arm, looked at the ship, his expression growing increasingly grave: "The ship has suffered several more breaches, and the water is seeping in even faster."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the dense forest. Accompanied by a hoarse roar, dozens of savages wearing animal skins and wielding stone axes rushed out. Their faces were painted with strange colors, and their eyes were fierce. They had obviously been attracted by the commotion.

Wei Ziyuan leaned against the tree trunk to stand up, his brows furrowed: "It's the Blackwater Barbarians. They use the Blackwater Python as their totem. We killed the Python King, and they will never let this go!"

The savages had already rushed forward, swinging their stone axes at the nearby guards, and a new round of fighting broke out instantly.

At this point, the ship was leaking water faster and faster, and half a foot of water had already accumulated at the bottom. If they could not repel the barbarians and repair the ship in a short time, they would probably be trapped and die on this wasteland.

Zhan Yan had been provoked into a rage by the Python King, and his attacks became increasingly ruthless.

In a short while, all of the dozen or so barbarians fell to the ground and died.

The remaining few were terrified. They dared not make another move and knelt down heavily on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

Zhan Yan winked at Wei Ziyuan, who then quickly stepped forward and asked, "Who ordered you to release the python king to attack us?"

The barbarian answered tremblingly, "It was Protector Rong. He promised us that as long as we could protect Queen Min Yue of Li Kingdom, he would give us food!"

Zhan Yan's expression suddenly darkened, and he pressed directly, "Is Min Yue on this island?"

The barbarian nodded hastily: "Yes, she's here!"

Zhan Yan urged, "Take us there quickly!"

The barbarian led the way and soon they found Min Yue hiding in a thatched hut.

She seemed surprised that Zhan Yan could still find her alive, and was greatly alarmed.

She cried out in a trembling voice, "Help! Stop them!"

However, those Blackwater barbarians were already terrified of Zhan Yan, so how could they possibly help her?

Instead of approaching, they even hid far away.

Zhan Yan sneered, "Min Yue, Rong Jue is dead. Do you think the Heavenly Mandate Palace can still protect you?"

Min Yue trembled with fear, asking incredulously, "Rong Jue is really dead? How could he be?"

Zhan Yan raised an eyebrow impatiently: "How could he not? His tricks are no match for me. It's only a matter of time before he dies a gruesome death!"

He waved his hand, and Shadow Soul and Shadow One quickly stepped forward and grabbed Min Yue.

After the ship was repaired, Zhan Yan led his men back to the capital of Li Kingdom.

Min Yue was heartbroken; she ultimately couldn't escape the pursuit.

Just before entering the palace, Zhan Yan stuffed a black box into her hand.

She instinctively frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Zhan Yan said in a deep voice, "Why don't you open it and see for yourself?"

Min Yue reached out and lifted the lid, only to see Rong Jue's head.

"Ah!" she screamed in fright and threw the box away.

Zhan Yan sneered, "Pick it up, or I'll tie Rong Jue's head to your back and make you carry him to apologize to the King of Wu!"

Min Yue shook her head in fear: "No, killing is just a matter of beheading. Marquis Zhanyi, why are you making things so difficult for a weak woman like me?"

Zhan Yan stared at her with hatred: "You, Min Yue, are you a weak woman? You are so ruthless that you poisoned the King of Wu. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Min Yue dared not argue with him any further, and could only suppress her fear as she put Rong Jue's head back into the box.

She thought it was better to carry a box than to carry a human head.

She was dragged into the inner palace and saw the King of Wu lying on his bed, barely alive.

She sobbed sadly, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted a place to stay!"

Upon hearing her voice, the King of Wu's previously dull eyes suddenly regained their luster.

It wasn't joy, but rather intense hatred.

He suddenly grabbed Min Yue by the neck with one hand, which frightened her so much that tears streamed down her face.

She cried and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I am willing to stay by your side and serve you like a slave!"

King Wu sneered, "Min Yue, you ruined me. Do you think you can still live?"

Wu Guojun's fingers tightened like iron clamps, strangling Min Yue's neck so tightly that her breath stopped instantly.

She kicked her legs and scratched wildly with her hands, her nails scratching across the withered arm of the King of Wu, leaving several bloody marks, but her strength did not diminish at all.

The suffocating pain made her vision go black, and tears mixed with snot covered her face. Her previous ruthlessness and scheming had vanished, leaving only a pure will to survive.

The King of Wu's voice was hoarse, like a broken gong, each word dripping with blood: "You think a simple 'it wasn't intentional' can absolve you of all your sins?"

His eyes were filled with venom as he stared intently at Min Yue's face, which was flushed from lack of oxygen: "I have treated you well, made you queen, bestowed upon you palaces and treasures, and provided you with the place you wanted to live. Have I ever mistreated you?"

Min Yue opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She could only shake her head desperately, her vision blurred by tears, and she could vaguely see the ferocity on the pale face of the King of Wu.

She regretted it; she regretted poisoning him.

If he were still alive, he would surely give her a way out based on their past relationship.

But what should I do now?

Just as her consciousness was fading, the King of Wu suddenly let go of her.

He collapsed onto the bed and began to cough violently.

Blood gushed from his lips, a truly horrifying sight.

Lin Yiwan and the Holy Maiden hurriedly entered and immediately began to help the King of Wu.

The King of Wu shook his head weakly: "Sister, Wanwan, don't waste your energy. I'm already at my limit and have no chance of survival!"

The saintess pleaded in a trembling voice, "Wanwan's medical skills are superb. She can give you a few more days to live. You must trust her!"

King Wu closed his eyes tightly. He had been able to hold on until now entirely because of his hatred for Min Yue. Now that she had no way out and Rong Jue was dead, he had no regrets whatsoever.
