Chapter 2305 — A New Martial Art
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
What exactly was the reason for that? Shaking his head, Wei Zhao set the question aside for the moment. With Han Jingyi beside him, a walking pill furnace, it hardly mattered whether he himself was an alchemist; would it not be far better to devote himself single-mindedly to the study of smithing?
It seemed he must hurry and gather the three materials—pure yellow jade, blue crystal powder, and colored steel—as quickly as possible. Only the more of these three he collected could he refine the essence inner core necklace and the storage space! Still, he guessed the Tagan clan must possess these three materials, or at least several of them. Back when Tagan Long had sought to condense the essence necklace, he must already have begun collecting these auxiliary materials; otherwise, even finding a spirit beast's essence inner core would have been useless.
That was impossible now. In the future, once his strength had grown, he would find an opportunity to pay the Tagan clan in Ruileida Town another visit and steal a few good things. Never mind the auxiliary materials—just Tagan Long's Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm alone made Wei Zhao's mouth water.
Only the first stance, and its power was already boundless. What kind of overbearing martial art was this?
At the thought of that Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm, an itch crept into Wei Zhao's heart. Such a martial art was simply unheard of; had he not experienced it himself, he truly could never have imagined that in this world there existed a martial art even more refined than one as superior as the Frenzied Fire Fist!
The Frenzied Fire Fist, as the cornerstone martial art of Uncle Qing's ancient sect, was certainly formidable. Over several thousand years, several sect masters had cultivated it, and among them were not a few masters who had reached the peak of the late Heaven rank, perfect and complete. That alone showed how superior the art was!
Even if Uncle Qing's sect was merely a second- or third-rate ancient sect, anything touched by the ancient world could not be simple! Feng Nitian and Zhang Naipao, for instance, were likewise not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Wei Zhao felt an urge to steal the art. Even the mere thought of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm's might was almost more than he could contain. He wanted to probe the Tagan clan once more! Wei Zhao was quite certain that if he could learn this martial art, then defeating a late Earth rank peak expert while fighting above his own level would no longer be a dream!
Tagan Long's defensive ability was nothing much, but his offensive power was beyond doubt. Though he had ultimately been gravely wounded by Wei Zhao, the damage he had dealt Wei Zhao was by no means small! Wei Zhao knew very well that had he not held the Fireflow Divine Bullet in hand, it would have been hard to say who fell first... Of course, Wei Zhao could have fled halfway through, but that would have left him rather unwilling.
The Five Elements Eight Trigrams Palm, stealing the art—these were but a flash of inspiration in Wei Zhao's mind. Yet once the thought surfaced, it could hardly be suppressed, taking root and sprouting in his heart like bamboo shoots after the rain, clamoring to drive him into action!
Of course, that was impossible—it was plainly an act of delivering himself to death. Wei Zhao would certainly not do it. Even without the fearsome Old Twelve and Old Six lifting a hand, Tagan Gan, Tagan Hao, the Second and Third Estate Guardians—these alone would be enough to give Wei Zhao a bitter cup to drink.
So rather than take the risk, better to carefully savor the scene of last night's exchange with Tagan Long!
At that thought, Wei Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and scene after scene from last night in the Tagan clan's library slowly replayed before his eyes like a film.
