Chapter 3441 — Three Traitors Run Fast
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
He had come this time with the intention of avenging Xiao Yi, so now that the opportunity was here, he meant to make an example of Wei Zhao first. He held nothing back, directly circulating and invoking the mnemonic of his heart technique, and brought his staff crashing down toward Wei Zhao's face!
Xiao Er was fast, but Wei Zhao had actually been prepared all along. Wearing his Gale-and-Lightning Boots, he set his feet into the Butterfly Microstep, and lightly evaded Xiao Er's attack! Speed depended on whom you were facing—against Song Lingwei and Song Xianghua, he might have been caught off guard, but with the Gale-and-Lightning Boots working together with the Butterfly Microstep, and with preparation on his side, being hit would have been the real surprise!
Seeing Wei Zhao dodge, Xiao Er couldn't help but start! He prided himself on having the fastest speed in the Five Luminaries Sect, and had never seen anyone evade him so easily! Yet Wei Zhao had done just that!
He hastily tried to chase down Wei Zhao, but as he turned his head, he saw a palm wreathed in blazing flames sweeping toward him!
"Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm, Twelfth Form!" Wei Zhao bellowed, seizing the moment to strike Xiao Er with a single palm!
Since Xiao Er meant to use him to establish his prestige, then he, too, was in fact using Xiao Er to establish his own!
After these days of training at the Song family, Wei Zhao could now successfully unleash the Twelfth Form of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm! The Twelfth Form was already formidable in its own right, and with the attack bonus of the Essence Necklace added on, this one palm strike—even if Xiao Er did not die, would leave him a cripple!
"Boom—" Xiao Er's whole body was sent flying backward by the palm wind Wei Zhao pushed out, crashing to the ground beside Kang Jingming. His legs twitched once, and then he moved no more; whether he was dead or alive, no one could tell!
"Gah!" Kang Jingming was dumbstruck, and so were the three Zhao family experts! What was going on here? Had he really been killed in a single instant?
"There, done in a second. Zhao Qibing, did you see that?" Wei Zhao said with a smile, looking at Zhao Qibing—not in the least bit like a man who had just finished off a top-tier expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank who had achieved Great Perfection!
"Uh..." Zhao Qibing's face went ashen at once. With a "thud," he dropped straight to his knees, scared witless!
Kang Jingming's face paled as well! He had never imagined that Wei Zhao was this powerful, finishing off Xiao Er with a single move!
Could it be that Wei Zhao had been capable of killing Xiao Yi back then but had simply chosen not to act, and had sought out the Paoli clan for some other purpose? For a moment, Kang Jingming had no idea what to do, standing rooted to the spot, caught between advancing and retreating!
"Young Master Bing, what's the matter? Something wrong with your legs?" Wei Zhao regarded Zhao Qibing with derision. His physical stamina and true qi were in fact completely spent! Because he had discovered that, at his peak mid-Heaven-rank strength, he could unleash the Twelfth Form of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm at most once!
Not even a little more was possible—it drained far too much physical stamina and true qi! So although he looked terribly impressive on the surface at this moment, in truth he was racing to recover his stamina and true qi!
If the three Zhao family experts had come looking for trouble with Wei Zhao right now and surrounded him, then Wei Zhao would have had no choice but to summon the Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast and flee! Because he did not even have the stamina and true qi left to activate the Butterfly Microstep.
