Chapter 1708 — I Want to Ask You Something, But When It Was Given to Yushuixing, Yushuixing Still Treated It as a Treasure and Thanked Him Profusely

Now Yushuixing's third brother was dead, his nephew crippled, and his son freshly gone — what reason did he have left to live? Driven by hatred, he would sooner sacrifice thirty years of his lifespan and swallow the pill.
"An Earth-Rank expert! He's actually an Earth-Rank expert!" No one was more alarmed than Chen Kuanglan. At this moment Yushuixing's first target for revenge would surely be Chen Yuxuan, so Chen Kuanglan cried out in urgent haste, deciding on the spot: "Yutian, run!"
"Run? Run where? Not a single one of you will escape!" Yushuixing sneered. "Before Earth-Rank strength, you still think you can run? Chen Yuxuan, this old man will start with you — you can accompany my Feng'er in death!"
"Earth-Rank — is that so remarkable? Especially a false Earth-Rank, propped up by pills!" Wei Zhao, who had stood motionless at the doorway all this while, finally moved, speaking as he walked slowly toward Yushuixing.
Others might not understand what was happening, but Wei Zhao was no stranger to Yushuixing's sudden surge in strength. Black Panther had once shown something similar; it seemed Yushuixing had likely resorted to much the same means.
"Wei Zhao? Even if you too are an expert at the peak of the late Mystic Rank — the four of you peak late Mystic Rank experts together are still no match for this old man!" Yushuixing was clearly made of sterner stuff than Yu Lingtou, and bolder in risking his life.
Yu Lingtou had once cowered like a mouse before Wei Zhao alone, an expert at the peak of the mid Mystic Rank, not daring to make a move; yet this Yushuixing, facing four experts at the peak of the late Mystic Rank, was utterly unafraid!
But the dragon begets nine sons, each different — even though Yu Lingtou and Yushuixing were of the same house, their temperaments could not have been more opposite! Of course, if Yushuixing were to pit his current Earth-Rank strength against Wei Zhao and the other peak late Mystic Rank experts, he would still stand a fair chance of winning!
That is, of course, on the premise that Wei Zhao did not hold the energy bomb as his hidden card. With that energy bomb in reserve, even an Earth-Rank expert would be easy enough to blow to death.
"And what if I'm not?" Wei Zhao countered.
"Not? If you're not, then you have even less hope. It seems you're the one behind all of this — so I'll start by cutting you down!" With that, Yushuixing launched himself at Wei Zhao!
"Wait. Before we begin, I want to ask you something." Wei Zhao spoke.
"Haha, any last words you can leave behind! Though I can't promise anyone here will pass them on for you — because everyone connected to you dies today!" Yushuixing laughed triumphantly.
"I want to ask — has your Yu family ever served as close guards for an international drug-trafficking ring?" Wei Zhao pressed, staring straight at Yushuixing.
"Hm?" Yushuixing was momentarily stunned by Wei Zhao's words. He had not expected Wei Zhao to ask such a thing, and it caught him somewhat off guard! He had assumed Wei Zhao meant to utter some harsh threat or the like.
"Answer me. Have you or haven't you?" Wei Zhao asked.
"How could we? The Yu family conducts legitimate business — how could we possibly serve as close guards for some drug ring?" Yushuixing denied flatly. Yet his eyes flickered with suspicion and shock; he was trying to guess why Wei Zhao would know of such a matter.
"You haven't?" Wei Zhao had been an assassin, and his grasp of human psychology was sharper than Yushuixing's. Seeing the flicker in Yushuixing's eyes, he knew the man was lying. "You needn't deny it. I have two friends — one named Yang Huaijun, wounded at the hands of your Yu family, every meridian in his body severed, who nearly lost his life; the other named Pangolin, whose fate is still unknown..."
