Chapter 3127 — Volunteering for the Task
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
And that made sense of everything. The Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect's disciples were all experts capable of fighting above their level; it was no wonder an early Heaven rank could instantly kill a peak mid Heaven rank. Even a fine hand like Dongfang Bushu, at the peak of the late Heaven rank, had been instantly slain by an early Heaven rank expert—where was the justice in that?
"Yes! Dad, I can't swallow this insult—what do we do?" Dongfang Buruo said.
"It's not just you—I can't swallow it either. But to go after this man, ordinary experts would be useless. If he can instantly kill a peak mid Heaven rank expert, then his own combat index has already reached the late Heaven rank. Unless we send an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank, there's no assurance of holding him!" Dongfang Jinxing had thought it through clearly—except that he had overestimated Wei Zhao's strength.
"Hiss..." Dongfang Buruo was startled and inwardly counted himself lucky. He asked quickly: "Then, Father, even you are no match for him?"
"I wouldn't say I'm no match for him, but at least I have no confidence of holding him. So to deal with them, unless your grandfather or your uncle takes the field in person, no one in our Dongfang family is his match!" Dongfang Jinxing sighed inwardly. The two ancestors had sent no word; these two top experts of the Dongfang family existed in name only!
"Then... can Grandfather and Uncle take the field?" Dongfang Buruo asked.
"That I'll have to ask about. Buruo, for now find somewhere to hide and lie low. At least until your grandfather or uncle takes the field, don't act rashly again!" Dongfang Jinxing warned.
"Yes, I understand the gravity of it, Dad." Dongfang Buruo was no fool. Dongfang Ying was dead; with only himself left, would he dare act rashly? That would be courting death.
"Mm." Hearing Dongfang Buruo's firm reply, Dongfang Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, hung up, and strode quickly toward the rooms where Dongfang Badao and Dongfang Yinxing were in seclusion.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Midnight knocking on the door again!
Dongfang Badao recognized Dongfang Jinxing's footsteps and spoke: "Jinxing, if there's something the matter, come in and say it!"
"Father, brother, something terrible has happened!" Dongfang Jinxing felt thoroughly depressed—every time he came knocking, it was because something terrible had happened!
"What terrible thing has happened now?" Dongfang Badao's heart tensed, and he asked.
"Dongfang Ying is dead too!" Dongfang Jinxing then recounted in detail to Dongfang Badao and Dongfang Yinxing how Dongfang Ying had gone to the Cultivators' Guild that day, encountered the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect disciple, and been wounded, and how that night he had met the same disciple again and been killed.
"What? The Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect again?" A sharp, venomous glint flashed through Dongfang Badao's eyes. "This is too much!"
"A mere disciple, only at the early Heaven rank, yet with a late Heaven rank combat index—this Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect is truly sinister!" Dongfang Yinxing was furious as well. "If this boy is not removed, he will surely become a mortal threat to our Dongfang family! Father, I volunteer to go and finish the brat, and avenge Bushu, Dongfang Jian, and Dongfang Ying!"
