Chapter 2611 — A Narrow Escape
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Taking advantage of the swirling sand and flying stones, Wei Zhao dared not waste a moment. He frantically circulated the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon Taming Art to repair the injuries within his body! He had to heal as fast as possible, so he could be agile enough to dodge Xiao Yi's next strike and successfully deploy the Heaven-and-Earth Net to ensnare Xiao Yi!
Wei Zhao had no other choice—he could only use his final ace, the Heaven-and-Earth Net. Though he was most reluctant to use it, without it, Wei Zhao had no confidence whatsoever of defeating Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi was simply too powerful, powerful to an inconceivable degree.
Back when Wei Zhao and Zhao Qilei were in the cave and first encountered the Heaven Rank monstrous man, that man had also been an expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank, yet he had absolutely not been as powerful as Xiao Yi. So Wei Zhao did not even need to look—instinct told him that his true qi bomb had probably not killed Xiao Yi, nor even gravely wounded him.
In truth, Wei Zhao's instinct was correct. Xiao Yi had also been sent flying backward by the terrifying force of the true qi bomb, and the violent shock had made him cough up a mouthful of blood—but it was only a few minor external wounds. There was no internal injury at all.
Even so, a look of shock appeared on Xiao Yi's face, and he muttered incredulously, "How is this possible? A mere expert at the peak of the mid Earth Rank, and he can actually make me cough blood? How is this possible? Could it be that he knew he was going to die and used self-detonation at the last moment?"
Self-detonation was the ultimate move a cultivator used when driven to desperation, to drag the enemy down with him in mutual destruction. The secret art was not hard to learn, with its own dedicated mental formulas and incantations, so many cultivators knew it—it was no secret at all. That was why Xiao Yi wondered whether Wei Zhao had used this move.
But he could not see Wei Zhao's situation now. The force from Wei Zhao's "self-detonation" combined with the Heaven Rank twentieth form martial skill, Tornado Heaven and Earth, had filled Xiao Yi's vision with flying sand and stone, making it temporarily impossible to see clearly what had become of Wei Zhao.
And it was precisely during this interval that Wei Zhao began frantically recovering from the injuries inflicted on his body by the true qi bomb and Tornado Heaven and Earth.
Sun Jingyan, with Wang Xinyan in tow, came running breathlessly into the school. Before long, they heard a thunderous explosion, followed by a succession of blasts rising and falling one after another. Turning to look, they saw flying sand and shattered stone all around the school gate, which gave Sun Jingyan and Wang Xinyan quite a fright!
What had happened to Wei Zhao? Was he all right? Though they were worried, they dared not go over to find out. Just as they stood at a loss, Wang Xinyan's phone rang.
"It's Teacher Bai..." Wang Xinyan took out her phone and glanced at it.
