"Wei Zhao, didn't see that coming, did you? My lion ate your beloved. Doesn't that feel just great?" Gou Huli said smugly.
"You wretched woman, give me your life!" Wei Zhao had never expected that all of this was Gou Huli's doing. In a flash he struck out with a Frenzied Fire Fist at Gou Huli!
"Bang..." Gou Huli was nothing but an ordinary person; a single Frenzied Fire Fist from Wei Zhao sent her flying. But when Gou Huli hit the ground, Wei Zhao heard the voice of someone else.
"Brother Wei Zhao, how cruel you are. Jingjing nearly died for you, and you actually want to kill Jingjing..." The Gou Huli on the ground suddenly became Han Jingyi, and Wei Zhao's heart clenched violently!
"Jingjing, how are you?" Wei Zhao rushed to Han Jingyi's side, about to use the Xuanyuan Dragon Controlling Art to heal her wounds, but the Han Jingyi on the ground suddenly changed—she became Tian Chan!
"Wei Zhao, you scoundrel, I'm going to kill you!" Tian Chan drew a dagger from her bosom and thrust it at Wei Zhao's chest...
"Ah!" Wei Zhao felt he was going mad. Why did the people around him keep changing, one after another? Why had they all betrayed him?
Yet just as Wei Zhao was shocked that Gou Huli had become Tian Chan, the Tian Chan in his arms transformed again into another girl—a girl who looked somewhat familiar, yet whom he did not know!
"Wei Zhao, holding another girl in your arms—so you don't want me anymore? If you don't want me... I'll die right before your eyes..." The girl gazed at Wei Zhao with quiet reproach, a look that struck him as achingly familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before, though he could not place it.
"You... you are?" Wei Zhao looked at the girl before him, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Wei Zhao, you... you don't recognize me?" A flash of disappointment and grievance crossed the girl's eyes. Suddenly her hand rose slightly, and a wisp of snow-white mist spread from her palm, completely enveloping Wei Zhao: "Before I die, I'll see you dead too!"
"You... you're from the Snow Valley..." It suddenly came back to Wei Zhao—this girl was the one he had fallen for at first sight in the Snow Valley. But he had only ever seen her from afar; they had never even spoken. Why would she want to kill him?
Wei Zhao's mind grew more and more muddled, like a pot of paste, until he could not help but cry out once more: "Ah—"
Zhao Qilei had not expected Zhang Naipao to suddenly unleash the Infernal Yin Demon Fist. After Wei Zhao was struck, his eyes went dull; he let out a great cry, clutched his head, and squatted on the ground—strikingly similar to Dongfang Bushu's condition before.
"Chief, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Zhao Qilei was startled and shouted anxiously.
"Yes, Brother Lin, wake up!" Feng Shihua was anxious too, and reached out to steady Wei Zhao—but unexpectedly, Wei Zhao lashed out with a Frenzied Fire Fist that struck Feng Shihua square in the chest!
Fortunately, in the illusion Wei Zhao had been striking at Gou Huli, an ordinary person, so he had used only the power of the first stance of the Frenzied Fire Fist. It did no real harm to Feng Shihua, though he was still left somewhat breathless from the blow.
"Brother Lin, it's me!" Feng Shihua cried out in alarm. Though this was only the power of a first- or second-stance Mystic Rank martial art, Wei Zhao was a man who could kill a mid Heaven Rank expert in an instant, and Feng Shihua was only early Heaven Rank—he feared Wei Zhao might wipe him out by accident!
But Wei Zhao paid Feng Shihua no heed at all. He simply swept out an arm to block, shoved Feng Shihua aside, scrambled to his feet, and with another cry of "Ah!" went sprinting off into the distance...
