Chapter 3040 — I Return Your Silver Needles
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
The more he thought, the more likely it seemed. A cold sneer flickered at the corner of Wei Zhao's mouth. So you like using the Fuxi Nine Needles, do you? Fine then—I'll let you have a taste of the Fuxi Nine Needles yourself! With true qi channeled into them, the Fuxi Nine Needles can save a life or take one; good and evil lie in the single instant of a thought. But the method of saving lives had long been lost—leaving only the art of harm!
Channeling true qi into silver needles and then inserting them into an opponent's body can inflict unbearable agony. Wei Zhao went straight to Sun Jingyan's side and plucked every last silver needle from her body! He had no authentic Fuxi Nine Needles—but he noticed that the silver needles Xiao Shiyi was using were no ordinary needles. They seemed to be a replica set of the Fuxi Nine Needles!
"Xiao Shiyi, is it? Don't think you're the only one who knows how to torment people!" Wei Zhao sneered coldly, then snarled viciously: "Prepare to die!"
Sun Jingyan had already been drifting at the edge of consciousness, thinking she would never see Wei Zhao again. But at Xiao Yi's sudden shout she opened her eyes, and saw Wei Zhao arriving atop the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast—and she could scarcely believe it!
How had Wei Zhao known she was in danger? And the two opponents were both Heaven rank experts—the very two who had once driven Wei Zhao into a corner with no room to fight back. How did Wei Zhao dare appear here so openly and brazenly?
Wasn't he... afraid? And he had actually said something so savage to Xiao Shiyi as "Prepare to die"?
In that moment, Sun Jingyan was overcome with emotion. She suddenly recalled a line from a television drama, spoken by Zixia: My beloved is a peerless hero; one day he will come to marry me clad in golden armor and sacred raiment, treading upon rainbow clouds...
Wei Zhao might not have been treading rainbow clouds, but he was riding the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast—like the prince on a white horse from a fairy tale...
"Damn it!!" Xiao Yi had not expected Wei Zhao to attack the moment he arrived and snatch away all her silver needles. Her attention had been fixed entirely on the needling, so how could she have anticipated that Wei Zhao's first target would be neither her nor Xiao Yi, but the silver needles in Sun Jingyan's body!
Xiao Yi's expression turned fierce as well. Wei Zhao's disruption of Taganlong's healing threw him into a frenzy of anxiety and rage, and he wanted to strike out at Wei Zhao—but just then, Huoshaoyun made his move! Huoshaoyun was a late-stage Heaven rank expert, and one raised with devoted care by an ancient sect, so although his strength was inferior to Xiao Yi's, he would have absolutely no problem keeping him occupied. At the very least, with Xiao Yi's strength, there was no way he could annihilate Huoshaoyun in an instant.
Though Xiao Yi was irritated by the sudden appearance of a late-stage Heaven rank expert, there was nothing he could do but grit his teeth and endure, dealing with him as patiently as he could. He wanted to cut Huoshaoyun down in one stroke, but that simply wasn't realistic!
What was most infuriating was that Xiao Yi hadn't brought his divine weapon with him—he had left it in the car! In his eyes, dealing with the Sun family required no divine weapon at all; his role was merely to assist Xiao Shiyi in watching over Taganlong. Who could have guessed that Wei Zhao would bring along a late-stage Heaven rank expert? Where had this man even come from?
Xiao Yi had no Heaven rank divine weapon—but Huoshaoyun did. A palm-leaf fan appeared in his hand, and flame-wreathed true qi was channeled out from it, blazing straight toward Xiao Yi, making him curse inwardly without end!
