Chapter 2376 — Mutual Destruction?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In Wei Zhao's original estimation, with Piao Laoliu beaten to death by his hand, Piao Huotai would surely choose to retreat—to slink off with Piao Laoliu's corpse as fast as he could. But Wei Zhao had never imagined that this creature would abandon even Piao Laoliu's body and instead carry Chen Xi away. It was frankly incomprehensible to Wei Zhao!
Could this thing's lechery truly reach such a degree? Even in a situation like this, he did not forget to take Chen Xi with him—what kind of person was this!
But Wei Zhao wanted to stop him and was too badly hurt—he simply could not climb to his feet! And even if he stood, he might not be able to bar the way, for this creature Piao Huotai was practically impervious to blade and spear. To deal with him would be even harder than with Piao Laoliu!
Piao Laoliu could be targeted with that Frenzied Fire Heaven-Splitting Earth-Rending Claw, but Piao Huotai was different. This creature did not fear blows; striking him was useless.
Seeing Piao Huotai about to step out the box's door, Wei Zhao was seized with alarm. Heedless of his injuries, he scrambled up from the ground regardless of everything and roared at Piao Huotai, "Stop!"
"!" Piao Huotai was given a great fright by Wei Zhao's roar, for in his earlier judgment Wei Zhao and Piao Laoliu must have perished together—after all, both had lain motionless on the ground. Piao Huotai had subconsciously assumed both were dead. But who would have thought Wei Zhao would rise again, as if back from the dead?
"You're not dead?" Piao Huotai started, turning back to look at Wei Zhao, who stood tottering to his feet. Then he laughed. "A spent arrow—what can you do to me? You've probably guessed by now that I have no offensive martial arts, but you absolutely cannot stop me from leaving, because my defense is formidable—you can't kill me! It's good that you're not dead. I'll be going first—till we meet again, or never!"
In Piao Huotai's view, since Wei Zhao was alive, the sect behind him could not be too enraged. He also knew that those great sects of Huaxia possessed some top-grade third-tier elixirs. With elixirs, he believed, Wei Zhao's recovery was only a matter of time, and the sect behind him would not cross mountains and rivers to seek trouble with him in Southeast Asia.
"You…" Wei Zhao was unwilling, yet he had to admit Piao Huotai was telling the truth, for at this moment he truly could not defeat Piao Huotai. The man was impervious to blade and spear, much like those external-school cultivators who trained in the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt. To keep him here without a true qi bomb was impossible.
But in Wei Zhao's current state, even healing was a strain—where would a true qi bomb come from to use against him? So Wei Zhao, with no other choice, was frantic yet helpless. His injuries unhealed, he still had to grit his teeth and fight!
"Frenzied Fire Heaven-Splitting Earth-Rending Claw—Fifth Style!" Wei Zhao did not know whether the Frenzied Fire Heaven-Splitting Earth-Rending Claw would work on Piao Huotai, but he did know that the earlier Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm's fifth style had done Piao Huotai no harm. So he could only try the Frenzied Fire Heaven-Splitting Earth-Rending Claw.
"Hmph!" Seeing that Wei Zhao still dared to attack, Piao Huotai was somewhat irritated. His brow furrowed slightly, and who knew what technique he summoned: "You won't shed tears till you see the coffin!"
