Chapter 1510 — The Unfortunate Yushan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I am an idiot — why did I not dodge? My Heaven-Defying Divine Art needs time to gather its power!" Feng Nitian said, half choked with fury at Yushan's incompetence, before hastily forming a few strange hand seals in the air. Only when Wei Zhao turned and struck at him again did he finally unleash the Heaven-Defying Divine Art.
In that instant, Wei Zhao was frozen where he stood, still holding the posture of his palm strike, yet unable to move a muscle — and unable to speak, either.
"Huh?" Yushan had not expected Feng Nitian's Heaven-Defying Divine Art to require a charge-up time. He had thought Feng Nitian could unleash and retract it at will. A wave of bleak sorrow washed over him. How could he be so unlucky? He had been all set to torment Wei Zhao and Yubing at his leisure, and now he had been beaten half to death by Wei Zhao.
Now the meridians and organs in the upper half of his body were all damaged. Even if his meridians were restored with a Meridian-Clearing Pill, his organs could not be restored. Even if he recovered, his strength would surely plummet. Never mind inheriting the position of family head — it was not even certain that he would receive his full allotment of cultivation elixirs when he returned.
As a member of the clan, Yushan understood the ways of the Yu family all too well. In the Yu family there was scarcely such a thing as kinship; there was only family interest. The family would not grant him special care merely because he was a Yu descendant. If he was crippled, the family might keep him fed, but it would certainly not pour any more cultivation resources into him. Even if his own father wanted to fight for it, Grandfather would never permit it.
"Brother Nitian... you... why did you not say so sooner?" Yushan clutched his caved-in chest and said wretchedly.
"How was I to know you would be stupid enough not to dodge when someone strikes at you? You are at least a mid Mystic rank expert. Even if you are inferior to a late Mystic rank expert, you should not be unable to dodge a single blow. You are utterly useless! I truly regret listening to you and joining hands with you!" Feng Nitian gave Yushan a cold glance. In his eyes, Yushan no longer had any value to exploit. He was a cripple now, and the terms he had promised would never be honored.
"I am sorry, Brother Nitian... But I beg you, Brother Nitian, avenge me! If Yubing becomes a cripple like me, then I will still have a chance to recover my strength, and when that time comes, all my promises will still hold!" Yushan saw the disappointment in Feng Nitian's eyes and said hastily.
Moreover, he had already calculated it all out. Among the men of the Yu family's younger generation, only he and Yubing were outstanding. If Yubing were also gravely wounded and crippled, then he would be standing on the same starting line as himself. The Yu family could not allow both of its finest young talents to be ruined, so it would surely spare no effort to heal them. Then there could be no question of favoring one at the expense of the other, and he too would be treated.
So crippling Yubing was his last hope.
"Do not worry, I will help you take revenge!" After hearing Yushan's words, Feng Nitian pondered briefly and grasped the reasoning as well. Seen in that light, it was not as though there was no hope left at all.
