Chapter 1342 — Coming to Kill at the Door
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That's true... for now I can only look on the bright side. I wonder whether that boy Wei Zhao is dead yet — the meddling brat!" the boss said hatefully. "If not for him, today's business would already be done!"
"Yes, but with Mr. Yu making his move, the boy is fated never to see tomorrow's sun!" Little Simpleton nodded in agreement.
Wei Zhao did not dare meet Elder Yu's attacks head-on — he had no wish to die — and could only rely on his swift body to evade Elder Yu's strikes.
"Eh? You little whelp have some skill!" Previously Elder Yu had not given Wei Zhao a second glance. When he had killed Mr. Qiu in an instant, it had cost him hardly any effort at all; a man of Elder Yu's stature regarded such lowly practitioners with contempt.
So when Wei Zhao dodged one of his blows, Elder Yu cried out in some astonishment.
Wei Zhao said nothing, only waited for his moment. Against an Earth Rank expert there was no room for luck; it had to be one strike to the mark, to end the threat for good. Otherwise, if he failed to kill the man, he would be the one beaten to death first.
Even so, Elder Yu still did not take Wei Zhao seriously, toying with him as he would a low-grade martial artist, his moves arrogant, as though granting Wei Zhao death were a great honor.
Wei Zhao dodged again, but a wisp of Elder Yu's true qi grazed his right cheek, and at once the right side of his face swelled red.
Wei Zhao was startled. That had been no more than a brush of true qi; if Elder Yu landed a punch on him, he would be lucky to come away with his life — at best he would be gravely wounded.
"Little whelp, you're too weak. There's no use dodging — killing you is easier than turning my hand!" Seeing Wei Zhao's right cheek swollen, Elder Yu laughed. "Well? Hurts like hell, doesn't it?"
"Hmph!" Wei Zhao gave a cold snort and said nothing, but inwardly he grew more and more alarmed. It seemed he must use the energy bomb sooner rather than later! An Earth Rank expert was far harder to deal with than he had imagined. Those he had faced before were mostly of his own level; even when stronger than him, they were of the same stage. This man was a full rank above him.
Wei Zhao made his decision at once. He circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art and began compressing the true qi within his body. He did have the jade pendant space, but in the middle of an enemy's attack, how would he dare enter it to fetch energy? So for now he could only make do with the energy in his own body.
Seeing that Wei Zhao did not flee, only stood there watching him coldly, Elder Yu suddenly found it dull. He had wanted Wei Zhao to run first, so that he could strike him down from behind — that would have been a bit more satisfying. But this boy before him seemed not to be playing along.
"Boring. Enough — little whelp, give me your life!" Elder Yu had had his fun and was ready to finish Wei Zhao with a single move. In his eyes, in truth, Wei Zhao was a one-blow affair.
