Chapter 697: 697

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 . ”
