Chapter 3041 — What Do You Mean?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh, go ahead, if you can find him." Wei Zhao curled his lip. Inwardly, he rather wished Ancestor Xuanchen would pay West Star Mountain Village a visit—he doubted the man would ever come back. Kill my grandfather? If my grandfather could come out, you'd all have been dead long ago!
"You..." Xiao Shiyi had not expected Wei Zhao to be so indifferent. She did not know what he was thinking, and assumed he was certain she could never find his grandfather. So she roared, "Wei Zhao, dissolve these needles and my senior brother and I will leave at once. How about that? We won't trouble you anymore!"
"Tsk, tsk. Are you stupid?" Wei Zhao regarded her with mockery. "I know a little fool who's plenty dumb, but next to you, she's a genius. You're beyond stupid—you've got no brains at all! You won't trouble me? It's obvious I'm the one who won't let you go!"
"You..." Xiao Shiyi grew frantic. "Senior brother, help me finish off Wei Zhao!"
"I..." Xiao Yi was about to speak when his attention wavered, and Huoshaoyun's fan came sweeping at him. He dodged, but the flames still caught half his face, burning away half his hair and instantly giving him a yin-yang cut—as if he had walked out of a barbershop halfway through a shave! After that, Xiao Yi did not dare let his focus wander again. Anxious as he was about Xiao Shiyi, Huoshaoyun gave him no opening at all.
Domineering as Xiao Shiyi was, she could see the predicament Xiao Yi was in now. He and Huoshaoyun were locked in an even match—Xiao Yi was clearly the stronger, but Wu Chengtian was landing sneaky blows from the side, leaving him unable to guard against every attack!
Wu Chengtian was only a late-stage peak Earth rank expert, but his Iron Hand technique, cultivated both internally and externally, was no joke. His blows could not inflict internal injuries on Xiao Yi, but they could still leave external damage—at the very least, a sudden strike could stagger him, and that gave Huoshaoyun his openings. The two worked in perfect sync: Wu Chengtian always struck from behind, landing a dirty blow and then shifting position, never lingering, throwing a punch and moving on whether it connected or not. That made it impossible for Xiao Yi to lock onto his position. In the end, Xiao Yi simply ignored him—the moment he turned to hunt Wu Chengtian down, Huoshaoyun's fan would come sweeping in, impossible to guard against!
It was the most frustrating fight Xiao Yi had ever been in. When he had faced Wei Zhao, how magnificent he had been—Wei Zhao had not even been able to fight back. But now, Wei Zhao stood off to the side torturing Xiao Shiyi to death, and there was nothing Xiao Yi could do about it.
"Xiao Shiyi, how does it feel? Pretty good, isn't it? Actually, the best part is still to come!" Wei Zhao watched her coldly. These needles were merely an appetizer. Looking at Sun Jingyan, already collapsed unconscious on the ground, a sudden cruelty welled up in Wei Zhao's heart!
Wei Zhao was not a man who enjoyed tormenting people. Most of the time, when he dealt with an opponent, his aim was simply to kill them. But this time, for the first time, Wei Zhao felt the urge to torture someone to death.
"What... what do you mean?" A flicker of fear crossed Xiao Shiyi's face. She was afraid—truly afraid now. Xiao Yi could not help her, and she could not act herself, and that realization had begun to terrify her.
