Chapter 3126 — Another Misunderstanding

Zhao's villa. Glancing at the departing car, Wei Zhao hesitated and did not give chase. The ninth form of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm had consumed nearly the greater part of the true qi in his body, leaving only a small reserve. So quite apart from whether he could catch Dongfang Buruo, even if he did, the remnant true qi would be all but spent, and he had no absolute certainty of finishing him. Worse, he might expose his own weakness—better to let Dongfang Buruo see his strength and learn caution! Otherwise, if the man next brought two Heaven-rank experts to make trouble, Wei Zhao truly would not know how to cope. Watching in the rearview mirror as Dongfang Ying coughed blood while flying backward through the air, Dongfang Buruo silently counted himself lucky. This was the martial might of an expert at the peak of the mid Heaven rank! Because he was fleeing, he had not examined Wei Zhao's own strength closely, but had gauged the power of Wei Zhao's technique—and so he subconsciously concluded that Wei Zhao, too, was an expert at the peak of the mid Heaven rank. In that case, instantly killing Dongfang Ying, who was of the same rank but already wounded, was naturally no problem at all! But what had Dongfang Ying's other words meant? This man before him belonged to the Tomorrow-after-Tomorrow Sect? Since when had the ancient Feng family... or rather, since when had Feng Tianqi been connected to the Tomorrow-after-Tomorrow Sect, enough to persuade its people to come out and protect Xu Shilan? Or had that slut Xu Shilan seduced a disciple of the Tomorrow-after-Tomorrow Sect into serving as her bodyguard? The first possibility seemed unlikely—in Dongfang Buruo's eyes, utterly impossible. If Feng Tianqi truly had such ability, he would long since have held real power in the Feng family; why would he still fear Feng Tianhu? So, in his view, the second possibility was the most likely. Dongfang Buruo could not help cursing inwardly: Xu Shilan, that bitch—and he had thought her so pure and innocent! To think he had come to play with another man's leftovers! Yet the more he thought, the more his fury refused to subside. He had to have Xu Shilan, or he would never swallow this humiliation! But the pressing matter now was to save his own skin! As for Dongfang Ying on the ground, Wei Zhao would certainly not let him live. The people inside the villa had heard the commotion outside as well, and Feng Sanmang and Wu Chengtian came rushing out. "Brother Feng, Chengtian, dispose of this man for me." Dongfang Ying would soon die even without Wei Zhao lifting another finger, so he simply told Feng Sanmang and Wu Chengtian to find a place and get rid of him. "Yes! Thank you for stepping in, Mr. Lin!" Feng Sanmang said gratefully. This was an expert at the peak of the mid Heaven rank! Dongfang Ying was not yet fully dead, and Feng Sanmang could see his strength clearly enough—his heart was shaken beyond measure. Wei Zhao was formidable indeed; even an expert at the peak of the mid Heaven rank was a one-strike affair for him! "But Dongfang Buruo got away. I didn't manage to keep him here." Wei Zhao sighed. "Mr. Lin, if you will permit me to speak plainly, Dongfang Buruo's escape is actually a good thing. If you had truly killed him, this feud would have become enormous!" Feng Sanmang said hurriedly.
