But before he could speak, Wei Zhao spoke first!
The driver hesitated and glanced at White Leader. After all, he was merely a driver for the tour company, while White Leader was these people's teacher; the final decision had best be left to White Leader. Otherwise, if anything happened to the students on the bus, the tour company might bear some responsibility.
White Leader looked at Wei Zhao, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "Do as he says."
White Leader knew that Wei Zhao was a cultivator. Though he did not know exactly how high Wei Zhao's combat index was or how formidable he truly was, a cultivator was always far stronger than an ordinary person. Wei Zhao saying this surely meant he intended to find a way to deal with the two robbers before they boarded the bus.
This was what White Leader wanted as well. If those two were allowed onto the bus, the students' pockets held no money now, so there was nothing to fear from robbery—but what he feared was that, finding nothing of value, the two might fly into a rage and turn on the students!
A thief never leaves empty-handed, and White Leader understood this too. These men had expended great effort and gotten nothing; naturally they would not be pleased, and venting their anger by hurting a couple of students was entirely normal!
On the bus, Wei Zhao could also have dealt with them with ease, but he would inevitably have been constrained, afraid that while he killed one, the other might turn on the other students. So it was best if Wei Zhao could get off the bus!
"Oh... all right." The driver nodded. Since White Leader had spoken, then whatever went wrong would be White Leader's affair; he could wash his hands of the responsibility.
"Skreee—" The bus's electric door slid open at once, and Wei Zhao arrived right at the bus's doorway. The two robbers—one tall, one short—were just about to climb aboard, and seeing the door open so obligingly, they froze for a moment!
Originally, they had assumed that if the driver was too scared to open the door, they would smash their way in. For two capable men like them, breaking open such a door was as easy as turning a hand—but they had never expected the door to open by itself!
"Greetings, esteemed robber brothers!" Wei Zhao said to the tall and short robbers the moment he opened the door.
"?" Both the tall robber and the short robber were stunned, utterly baffled. What was with this person on the bus? Was he sick in the head? From the look of it, he seemed to welcome their coming aboard to rob them—otherwise, why greet them at all?
"May I ask, are you here to rob us?" Wei Zhao continued.
"We..." The tall robber and the short robber did not know Wei Zhao. Before coming, they had only seen photographs of Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi, and they had also heard Right Panhu say that there were only two girls in that class, very easy to identify. As for Wei Zhao, he would surely be one of those sitting beside Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi; they had simply paid him no mind!
After all, once they unleashed the pressure of Heaven-rank strength, Wei Zhao would surely not dare to act rashly.
"Oh, then you may go die now. Bye-bye!" Wei Zhao's idle chatter had successfully diverted the tall and short robbers' attention. As he spoke these words, his palm pushed out flat, and he bellowed, "Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm—Sixth Stance!"
This palm strike was aimed at the tall robber, that expert of peak late Earth-rank strength. With a great "bang," the tall robber was blasted away by Wei Zhao's Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm, flying like an arrow loosed from a bow into the ravine below the median strip beside the highway, without even time for a scream before all went silent!
