But now, finding Zero One rather eerie, Wei Zhao decided to capture him alive and see what exactly was going on with him. Truth be told, Wei Zhao himself was quite curious about the sudden appearance in Songshan City of an evil man bearing such a striking resemblance to him.
Having made up his mind, several silver needles suddenly materialized in Wei Zhao's hand. He flicked them out, and they landed squarely on the charging Zero One's body! Zero One's complete failure to dodge only further confirmed Wei Zhao's suspicion — Zero One had no autonomous will of his own, for no ordinary person, seeing hidden weapons flying toward them, would simply fail to evade!
With Zero One's level of strength — at the peak of the late Xuan Tier — dodging a handful of silver needles would have been as easy as flipping his hand! How could he possibly allow them to simply embed themselves in his body?
Trained in medicine, Wei Zhao knew every acupoint on the human body like the back of his hand. So the very next instant, Zero One was frozen solid where he stood, utterly immobilized! Put plainly, Wei Zhao's technique bore a striking parallel to Feng Nitian's Heaven-Defying Divine Art!
Feng Nitian channeled his true qi to bind his enemies, rendering them unable to move a single inch, while Wei Zhao used silver needles to pierce acupoints, temporarily severing the sensation in his opponent's limbs from the brain's command.
Of course, this technique was effective against ordinary people or those whose strength ranked below Wei Zhao's. Against an expert of the same level or a higher existence, it would seem rather laughable — the opponent could dodge with ease. Zero One, too foolish to even think of dodging, was the first person Wei Zhao had ever encountered like this!
Wei Zhao walked over, seized Zero One's limbs, and crushed the joints of all four, robbing him of any ability to attack. He then retrieved the silver needles from Zero One's body. The entire sequence flowed with the smoothness of water, completed in a single fluid motion — leaving the onlookers dumbfounded!
Prior to this, many of the onlookers had been astonished by the simultaneous appearance of two Wei Zhaos. And they were no strangers to Wei Zhao's face — this man was the suspect from that video clip circulating online!
But upon seeing two Wei Zhaos, the crowd was not foolish: they immediately drew the parallel to the True and False Monkey Kings from Journey to the West, and came to the general conclusion that one of the two Wei Zhaos was good and the other was evil!
And in the end, when the good Wei Zhao easily defeated the wicked one, the onlookers erupted in cheers, one and all praising the real Wei Zhao's prowess for capturing the villain who had thrown everyone into a state of panic!
As for Wei Zhao crushing Zero One's limb joints — not only did no one think him cruel for doing so, everyone found it thoroughly gratifying!
"That's wonderful — turning this scoundrel into a cripple! Let's see how he goes about harming people now!" said Passerby A.
"Exactly! I said it before — this young man looks like a fine fellow, and by no stretch of the imagination does he look like a villain. So the real evil one is someone else altogether!" said Passerby B.
"Indeed — they look so much alike. I'd say it's eight-to-one he was framed, and this man is truly despicable," said Passerby C.
"Justice prevailing over evil — it warms the heart to see it! This criminal suspect is finally going to face the law!" Passerby D declared with delight.
