On the riverbank, Huang Yuzhen stared solemnly at the person opposite him.
Minute beads of sweat slipped down the side of his pale cheek; he didn't dare move. The poison coupled with the severely injured thigh left him unable to escape.
Currently in the Extreme State, he could still hold on. But once the time of the Extreme State elapsed, he would be at others' mercy.
"You... haven't acted immediately. What do you want from me?"
Zhang Rongfang smiled.
"If I wanted merit, wouldn't killing you here be a loss for me? The forces behind Ouyang Jianrong, without thinking, can't be resisted by me alone. So..."
He intended for Huang Yuzhen and Ouyang to wound each other severely, then he would come out to take advantage and claim the credit.
But upon reconsideration, the merit was so substantial that he might not withstand it.
If investigated, it wouldn't necessarily be possible to conceal his identity and strength.
So...
He needed a safer method.
