Chapter 2609 — So This Is What It Feels Like to Have Someone at Your Back
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
It seemed that everyone who walked out of Tagan Long's sect was a monster! Truly too powerful—powerful to an unimaginable degree!
"Hmph!" Wei Zhao snorted coldly. "Say what you like. I only just got here—how could I possibly know who you are? Jingyi never said. She only said you people had kidnapped Han Jingyi!"
"You know Han Jingyi?" Xiao Yi's brows knitted at once, and he thought, This is bad! He had overlooked the fact that Sun Jingyan actually knew Han Jingyi and had told Wei Zhao about it. If Wei Zhao had a loose tongue and told the white-collar leader, things could get troublesome!
So this had to be settled quickly! With that thought, Xiao Yi gave Wei Zhao no further chance to speak. Suddenly he crossed his arms before his chest and made a most bizarre motion; at last he brought his palms together and thrust them forward. A vast true-qi vortex like a tornado burst forth from between his hands and swept savagely toward Wei Zhao!
"Heaven Rank martial art—Tornado Heaven and Earth, Eleventh Form!" Xiao Yi bellowed alongside the whirling tornado. In his view, Wei Zhao was a mere Earth Rank expert; even the most ordinary Heaven Rank martial art could kill him. "Die, Earth Rank whelp!"
An unprecedented pressure rushed at him. Wei Zhao frowned slightly and instinctively shoved Sun Jingyan away, but it was too late for him to dodge—the whole man was swept up by the tornado, hurled into the sky, and then slammed heavily to the ground with a thunderous crash, smashing a pit more than a meter deep.
Merely the eleventh form of a Heaven Rank art—the most rudimentary Heaven Rank martial art—and it carried such might. The people who came out of that place were lunatics, sure enough! Fortunately it was only the eleventh form. Wei Zhao had protected his body with true qi and barely withstood it; he had taken some internal injuries, but they were not severe.
Wei Zhao could not spare the time to heal his internal injuries. Instead he compressed the true-qi bomb with all speed—this was his last resort. If it truly came to it, he would use the Heaven-and-Earth Nets; if possible, blowing this man to death would be best of all.
"Jingyi, take Xinyan and get out of here!" Wei Zhao feared, first, that Xiao Yi would harm them, and second, that when the true-qi bomb went off it might injure them. With only himself to worry about, he would have far fewer misgivings.
"Oh—right!" Sun Jingyan decided on the spot. The two of them had already built up an excellent rapport back in the Ulanhot Mountains, and Sun Jingyan knew Wei Zhao was probably gritting his teeth to unleash some great move. She and Wang Xinyan could only distract him by staying, so she grabbed Wang Xinyan's hand and made to leave.
"You've come—so don't go." Xiao Yi was somewhat surprised that Wei Zhao was not dead and could still speak, but for the moment he paid him no more mind. Instead he turned his head toward Sun Jingyan and Wang Xinyan. (To be continued.)
