Chapter 1567 — True and False Wei Zhao — She and Wei Zhao Are Still Young, So It Is Too Early to Talk of Marriage; Who Knows What the Coming Years May Bring? Moreover, Now That Tang Zhi Has Accepted Feng Xiaoxiao, What the Future Holds Is Harder Still to Say!

Although Tang Zhi had initially promised Feng Tianlong to let Feng Xiaoxiao and Wei Zhao be together, she had been thinking at the time that Xiaoxiao did not have long to live — even if she did end up with Wei Zhao, she herself would only suffer a temporary grievance. The days ahead were still long!
But later, through her growing bond with Xiaoxiao, Tang Zhi came to accept this girl from the very bottom of her heart, and she did not want her to leave. That was precisely why she had been so overwhelmingly supportive when Wei Zhao set out to seek medical treatment for Feng Xiaoxiao!
Since matters had already progressed to this point, Tang Zhi decided to be magnanimous and stop meddling in the affairs of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. After all, Wei Zhao would handle everything himself — overthinking it would only wear on her nerves, and it was far better to let nature take its course, just as she was doing now.
Zero One crashed to the ground. Though he scrambled up almost at once, his left hand was a bloody pulp — the white bones clearly visible inside. Evidently, that hand of Zero One's was finished!
What surprised Wei Zhao was that Zero One, once injured, neither cried out nor spoke a single word. His eyes merely turned somewhat bloodshot, betraying a hint of irritation — but that seemed to be all: mere annoyance. The pain of his wound brought him no suffering whatsoever!
After getting back on his feet, Zero One charged at Wei Zhao once more — and this time, the hand he swung was his right one!
A faint, mocking smile flickered across Wei Zhao's lips. This Zero One seemed rather dim-witted — having already been injured under the very same circumstances, the man was actually using the same move again? Was it courage born of repeated defeat, or simply mindless bravery?
Wei Zhao casually condensed another small energy bomb in his palm and struck Zero One's right hand with it in exactly the same manner. Without the slightest suspense, Zero One was blasted backward in a most pathetic fashion, crashing heavily to the ground — his right hand likewise reduced to a bloody mess!
Wei Zhao's ability to cripple Zero One's both hands in the blink of an eye shocked Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian alike. Wu Chengtian in particular was stunned: he knew better than anyone how formidable Zero One's hands and body were in combat. Even his Iron Hand Technique would have had no sure chance against them — yet Wei Zhao had dispatched him with ease!
Thinking of this, Wu Chengtian could not help but feel a chill of aftershock. Thank heavens he had had the good sense to recognize the situation and submitted to Wei Zhao as his leader! Had he gone on acting foolishly as before, still fighting Wei Zhao over Sun Jingyan, and Wei Zhao had delivered such a palm strike to him, wouldn't his Iron Hand Technique have been shattered?
After hitting the ground, Zero One once again scrambled to his feet and charged at Wei Zhao — but this time, he thrust that very same injured right hand at Wei Zhao yet again!
Seeing this, Wei Zhao was immediately bewildered. Did this thing feel no pain at all? And attacking someone with a wounded hand — wasn't that just plain crazy? Was this thing actually stupid?
Stupid? The moment that possibility crossed his mind, Wei Zhao froze slightly — then suddenly recalled the utter blankness he had seen in Zero One's eyes the very first time he laid eyes on him. A bold conjecture flashed through his mind!
Could it be that this Zero One was a being without thought? Reflecting further on Zero One's bizarre behavior — entirely mechanical, fearlessly suicidal — Wei Zhao could not help but suspect that something was truly wrong with this Zero One!
With this in mind, Wei Zhao no longer intended to finish Zero One off. Honestly, given his current approach, it would have been child's play to blow out Zero One's legs and feet as well — and once all four limbs were ruined, killing him would amount to no more than a casual flick of the hand.
