Chapter 776 — The Iron Aegis
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You... you've got an iron aegis on your head too?" Black Bird Bro was struck dumb by the sight, staring in disbelief at his four henchmen, who had been so full of fight just moments ago and were now crippled.
"I do!" Wei Zhao nodded.
"How could that be? Why didn't I see it?" Black Bird Bro was taken aback.
Yu Xiaoke was just as astonished. It was one thing for Wei Zhao to claim he had some kind of protective iron armor on him, but how could he possibly have armor on his head? Besides, Yu Xiaoke had been a little suspicious of Wei Zhao's words from the very start. She was standing very close to him and could clearly see that aside from the shirt he wore, there was nothing else on his body. Where was this so-called protective iron armor?
And the fists of those four men on the ground did not look at all like they had struck something hard! Even if a person punched a sheet of iron, the worst that would happen was a swollen fist or a fractured knuckle. There was no way they would end up like this! Judging by the condition of their fists now, it looked as though some external force had crushed and compressed them by brute force, completely deforming the men's hands, as if they had been blown apart in an explosion.
So Yu Xiaoke was deeply doubtful as to whether this protective iron armor Wei Zhao spoke of actually existed.
"Of course you can't see it," Wei Zhao said, his expression unchanged. "Because it's a skill I've trained. It's called the Protective Iron Armor Art."
"Huh?! Are you screwing with me?" Black Bird Bro was instantly furious at Wei Zhao's words, feeling as though he had been played for a fool! All this time he had assumed Wei Zhao was carrying some great treasure, only to learn that Wei Zhao had nothing of the sort, and that it was merely some Protective Iron Armor Art he had trained!
"I'm not screwing with you. I told you before, it's protective iron armor," Wei Zhao said innocently.
"But you never said it was the Protective Iron Armor Art!" Black Bird Bro was grinding his teeth in rage. What a humiliation this day had been. He had meant to teach Yu Xiaoke a lesson, but never expected that a boyfriend of hers would appear out of nowhere, not only flattening his four underlings but seeming not to have suffered a scratch himself!
"I was using the abbreviated name. I thought you knew. How was I to know you were this stupid?" Wei Zhao looked at Black Bird Bro with contempt.
"Kid, don't think that just because you've trained a bit of hard chi kung you can throw your weight around. Do you even know who I am?" Black Bird Bro's words were fierce, but his courage was failing. He too had not expected Wei Zhao to be so uncanny.
"I know. Didn't you say your name is Black Bird Bro? Don't tell me you've changed it again?" Wei Zhao looked at Black Bird Bro strangely. This thing wasn't like Shen Yushu, was it, changing its name for fun whenever it pleased?
When Shen Yushu changed her name, it was cute. When this thing changed its name, it was brain-dead.
"I, Black Bird Bro, am the second-in-command of the Songshan City pickpocket gang. Now you've injured my men. How do you propose we settle this score?" Black Bird Bro was no fool. Force had already failed. His four underlings had lost all their fighting capacity, leaving him a commander without an army. If he kept fighting Wei Zhao, wouldn't that be inviting humiliation?
Besides, this kid was downright bizarre. He wasn't afraid of being hit at all, and that Protective Iron Armor Art of his was so formidable that hitting him was like punching an iron plate. Wasn't that just asking to be tortured?
