Chapter 2769 — Love at First Sight!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
As Wei Zhao's car drove along the road back, Tang Zhi returned to her cultivation room. From then on, perhaps the two of them would have no further contact. Tang Zhi had seen the Wei Zhao of the present; though she missed him, she was content.
The car sped along the deserted little road. But suddenly, not far ahead of Wei Zhao's car, two people appeared! Two people dressed in black!
"Screech—" Wei Zhao slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop.
There was plainly a trace of coldness on the faces of these two, and what made Wei Zhao frown most was that both of them were early-stage Heaven-rank experts! Even if Wei Zhao drove straight into them, he would gain nothing; one martial technique from them and his car would likely be smashed to pieces.
Ill intent! That was Wei Zhao's first thought, because the two of them were clearly not hiding their strength. They had revealed the full power of their early-stage Heaven-rank cultivation without reservation and stood in the middle of the road with overwhelming dominance—clearly they had come to block Wei Zhao's car.
He who comes brings no good, and the good do not come. It was just that Wei Zhao was rather puzzled—when had he ever offended such enemies as these? Judging by either their looks or their attire, Wei Zhao had never seen these two before. He did not know where they had come from, and most importantly, why they had appeared on his road home from Snow Valley!
If they wanted to make trouble for him, why not go to Songshan City or Donghai City?
Or were these two simply highway robbers, standing here to randomly rob cultivators returning laden with goods from Snow Valley?
The last possibility seemed quite likely. After all, most cultivators who went to Snow Valley were there to trade for rare natural treasures. Two Heaven-rank rogue cultivators robbing travelers here and snatching a few good things was only reasonable.
Wei Zhao took a deep breath and got out of the car. Against these two highway robbers, it was useless for Wei Zhao to try to drive away—after all, they were no slower than a car. So Wei Zhao could only choose to flee on foot or fight the two of them.
But as things stood, Wei Zhao did not want to abandon the car and flee alone on foot. After all, there was a Heaven-rank divine weapon in the car, along with four spirit medicines for treating Wang Xinyan's illness. If Wei Zhao ran, what would happen if these things were taken?
Moreover, in Wei Zhao's subconscious, these two had come to rob him, so he absolutely could not flee! Still, if Wei Zhao did want to run, he was quite confident he could get away. The other side was only two Heaven-rank experts, and their strength was not far from his own.
Back when Wei Zhao was at the Mystic rank, his speed had been not much inferior to that of the Bingtang girl. Relying on his lightness skill, the Butterfly Microstep, he could barely keep up with her. Now that Wei Zhao's strength had grown greater, his lightness skill was naturally a cut above as well, so escaping from these two Heaven-rank experts really would not be difficult.
"What do you two want?" Wei Zhao asked coldly, staring at the two before him.
"What do we want? Do you not know?" One of the two black-clad Heaven-rank experts, a man with short hair, gave a snort and said with a cold laugh, "Do not tell me you do not recognize us!"
"Recognize you? What would I recognize you from?" Wei Zhao was startled!
