Chapter 3261 — Escape
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao did not dare pause for an instant. He Tianzu might be wounded, but plainly the Great Return Pill had done its work and he was no longer in any serious danger. If he caught up, killing the Wei Zhao of this moment would be easy.
After all, when Wei Zhao had triggered the tenth form of the Mad Flame Eight Trigrams Palm, he had spent most of the true qi in his body, and the little he had conserved had all gone into running.
So Wei Zhao ran flat out along the highway with one person on his shoulder and another on his back. Luckily there were few cars on this stretch of road — otherwise his behavior would have scared the drivers to death.
He Tianzu and Folieang'ou were no slowpokes either, and Wei Zhao was burdened with two people. Yet Wei Zhao not only had the exquisite lightness skill of the Butterfly Micro-Step to aid him, but also the divine Gale-Chasing Lightning Boots on his feet. His speed was unmatched — in the blink of an eye, he was leaving the two further and further behind.
"Damn it, is this brat riding on wind-and-fire wheels? How is he running so fast!" He Tianzu had gone all out, yet instead of closing the gap, he was falling further behind — which left him thoroughly exasperated.
"It really is uncanny. There's something strange about this kid!" Folieang'ou agreed. Though he had not guessed that Wei Zhao carried a divine weapon, he could clearly sense that the boy was unlike ordinary men.
At last, Wei Zhao vanished from sight. He Tianzu and Folieang'ou had no choice but to stop and sit down in the wheat field beside the road to rest.
Just then, He Tianzu's phone rang.
"Hello... Dad..." He Tianzu's voice was very cautious — after all, he had misjudged and made a grave mistake.
"Tianzu, where are you?" He Dantou's inquiring voice came through the phone.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I acted rashly. Not only was I wounded by Wei Zhao, but I let him get away!" He Tianzu said, dejected.
"What!?" He Dantou's voice caught, then turned angry: "Didn't I tell you to keep him steady first and wait for us to get there?"
"I..." He Tianzu naturally did not dare mention Xu Shilan, so he said only: "Wei Zhao seemed to have sensed something. After leaving the auction house, he drove straight onto the highway. We had no choice but to move in and intercept him!"
"Oh? Then you could have simply tailed him. You threw away such a fine opportunity for nothing!" He Dantou knew well that Wei Zhao was a cultivator — if he escaped, catching him again would be extremely difficult, hardly worth even thinking about. So he also knew that scolding He Tianzu now was useless. He could only say: "Forget it. If he's run, he's run. I had wanted to use this chance to make Wei Zhao surrender a share of his interests, so we could get our hands on a cheap automatic medicine cauldron. But now it seems that if Wei Zhao makes it back, he'll likely never come here again, and we'll have nothing left to hold over him."
