Chapter 1853 — Unexpectedly Unharmed
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Good—Brother You, you deal with that dog. I'll finish these two girls first. Brother Yu, you go inside and find Wei Zhao!" Zhao Guang'er clearly meant to wipe out everyone here, leaving no witness alive.
Yu Liu frowned slightly, recalling the family head's words—that he was not to harm anyone close to Wei Zhao. He did not know why, and he was minded to remind Zhao Guang'er of it, but thinking of the gulf in strength between them, he held his tongue.
After all, by rank Zhao Guang'er was unquestionably the strongest, with late Earth-rank strength; he himself and You Shisan were merely mid Earth-rank adepts.
"Looking for me? No need to search inside—I've come out on my own." A flicker of shock crossed Wei Zhao's eyes; he had not expected all three men before him to be Earth-rank adepts—and one of them a late Earth-rank master at that!
Wei Zhao, only just recovered, felt his heart tighten. Even if he compressed true qi bombs, he might still not be able to handle all three before him—and three true qi bombs would take no small time to prepare. He had already come off worst against You Shisan once, and he was not about to repeat the same mistake.
But Wei Zhao could walk out calmly to face the three adepts who had come knocking; he was no fool. In his heart stirred an even more reckless notion...
"Wei Zhao... you're actually unharmed?" Zhao Guang'er stared at him in shock. He had heard from Zhao Qibing before that this Wei Zhao was a master of deception—that each time his strength was spent, he would lure his enemies in and then annihilate them in one stroke!
Zhao Qibing even suspected that Wei Zhao could not be bothered to hunt his enemies down himself, and used this method to draw them all to his door, then cut them down one by one—saving himself a great deal of trouble.
Naturally, wary as Zhao Guang'er was in this moment, he felt not the slightest fear. In his eyes Wei Zhao was nothing more than an early Earth-rank adept; even if he had broken through, the peak of the early Earth rank was the very most he could manage—even defying the heavens, he could reach no higher than mid Earth rank. And on his own side were three Earth-rank adepts: one late Earth rank and two mid Earth rank. A combination like that was enough to slaughter any cultivator below late Earth rank—and to slaughter them with ease!
"Naturally I'm unharmed!" Wei Zhao looked at the three before him and smiled faintly.
Wei Zhao's answer left Zhao Guang'er and the others uncertain and alarmed. What did he mean by that? Naturally unharmed? Did that mean he had been waiting here all along, waiting for them to come make trouble for him?
"Don't listen to his nonsense. When I came looking before, he was dead to the world—these two girls had hidden him here. If he were truly unharmed, he'd have gone back to the villa long ago. Why would he still be here?" Yu Liu punctured Wei Zhao's lie outright.
