Chapter 3171 — A Windfall Delivered to the Door
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
It was not that he could not—it was highly likely he could! And even an expert at the grand completion of the peak late Heaven Rank would not dare claim he could easily slay two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank, would he? Slaying one, perhaps, but two together—quite possibly the one who suffered in the end would be that grand-completion expert himself! It was an even fifty-fifty chance.
Of course, if it had been anyone else—an early Heaven Rank expert slaying two at the peak of the late Heaven Rank—no one would believe it if word got out. People might even mistake him for a madman raving nonsense!
But when it came to Wei Zhao, everyone found it perfectly normal! Ever since his debut, Wei Zhao had been fighting opponents above his level without pause. Several experts of the Dongfang family had died at his hands, and Zhang Naipao—long hailed as the foremost man below a certain rank—had been defeated by Wei Zhao time and again!
Since Zhang Naipao could kill Dongfang Bushu, an expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank, then Wei Zhao, who was even more formidable than Zhang Naipao, why could he not kill two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank?
So beyond astonishment, people would hardly doubt it—and this was Wei Zhao's advantage now! Once Wei Zhao had reasoned this through, he was utterly delighted by this windfall that had fallen into his lap!
Though he could not guarantee the Dongfang family and the Mingri Fumingri Sect would never come to their senses later and seek revenge again, in the short term they could not possibly trouble Wei Zhao!
If two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank had died without anyone even knowing how, who would dare come? Come to throw their lives away?
Having reasoned this through, Wei Zhao cupped his hands toward the three Ancestors and said, "Good. I will keep the secret. In any case, I thank the three Ancestors for helping slay my enemies!"
"We take a man's money and spare him his calamity. We'll be going now!" With that, Ancestor Blood-Robed nodded and hurried off with the other two.
The sounds of fighting in the courtyard had also alerted those inside the villa. The first to emerge were Wu Chengtian and Feng Sanmang. Though neither had witnessed the fight, the moment they stepped out they saw two corpses!
"What happened here? Who are these two?" Wu Chengtian and Feng Sanmang were startled at once. The long stretch of peaceful days had led them to believe the Dongfang family had let the matter drop and would not come making trouble again—but what had happened tonight seemed to tell a different story!
Both men still gripped Heaven Rank divine weapons—clearly they were cultivators, and Heaven Rank cultivators at that. Most likely they were tied to the Dongfang family.
"One is called Dongfang Yinxing, the other Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy," Wei Zhao said. "Both were experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank. Chengtian, Brother Feng, deal with the bodies—don't alarm the neighbors."
"Dongfang Yinxing? Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy?" Wu Chengtian was unruffled, but Feng Sanmang turned ashen with shock. He knew exactly who these two were—top-tier experts long renowned in the martial world. And yet they were dead? Slain just like that by Wei Zhao?
Wu Chengtian was merely astonished at Wei Zhao's prowess—that he could now kill experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank despite the gap in level—and did not lose his composure as Feng Sanmang had. Amid his surprise, he simply nodded and said, "Understood!"
