Chapter 3518 — Wei Zhao Is Ruthless Too
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
It was unwilling to accept this, yet there was nothing it could do. This was not merely the dread all living things felt for the Dragon Totem, but also the innate oppressive might of the spirit-beast clan. It was too powerful, and it could not resist.
"Hahahahaha!" Zhong Yongliang burst into wild laughter. To his mind, this Five-Shas Dragon had been paraded in circles by Wei Zhao for so long that its intelligence surely could not be very high. So Zhong Yongliang figured that once the Five-Shas Dragon felt the oppressive might and sensed its humiliation, it would fly into a frenzy and attack Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao was somewhat at a loss, unable to make sense of what Zhong Yongliang was playing at. Was this his way of helping? Having seen Zhang Naipao crippled by Wang Xinyan, had he come to curry favor by helping Wei Zhao deal with the Five-Shas Dragon?
On second thought, that seemed unlikely. Still, for Wei Zhao this was a fine chance to cover things up. He and the Five-Shas Dragon had already agreed that at some opportunity it would feign defeat, and he would stab it once and draw off some blood.
But as things stood, Wei Zhao was a tiny figure fleeing out front while the enormous Five-Shas Dragon pursued him from behind. A chance to turn the tables would be hard to come by; if he cheated now, it would look far too fake. Even Wei Zhao would be embarrassed to do it.
And now heaven had granted him the perfect opening. Seeing the Five-Shas Dragon sprawled on the ground, Wei Zhao hastily fished a small knife and a little bottle out of his jade pendant's space, slashed once at the dragon's leg, drew off a bit of blood, and filled the bottle.
"Roar, roar, roar..." The Five-Shas Dragon let out a few cries, putting on a show of great agony.
Zhong Yongliang was somewhat stunned as well. He had not expected Wei Zhao to actually stab the Five-Shas Dragon with a knife. Was Wei Zhao trying to slay a dragon? Did he mean to defy heaven itself? Being able to hold his own against the Five-Shas Dragon was already impressive enough; wanting to slay it was nothing but a fool's dream!
Still, this was just as well. Zhong Yongliang had been fretting that the Five-Shas Dragon would not grow angry. Now, on top of being subjected to the oppressive might, Wei Zhao had even given it a slash. If it did not go berserk now, it would not deserve to be called the king of spirit beasts!
Truly, if you do not court death, you will not die! Had you not stabbed it, you might have lived; now that you have, you are surely doomed.
And yet this Five-Shas Dragon truly had hide like leather and flesh like stone, absurdly tough. When Wei Zhao stabbed it earlier, he had already brought out the full peak of the late heaven-tier grand completion, and even then he only opened a tiny wound. This was truly a savage beast that no ordinary cultivator could contend with!
At that thought, Zhong Yongliang hastily stopped circulating the Wild Dragon Divine Art, for Wei Zhao was still within close range of the Five-Shas Dragon. Once the oppressive might vanished, Wei Zhao would probably be swatted flying with a single claw, wouldn't he? Wahaha!
After Zhong Yongliang withdrew his power, he watched Wei Zhao smugly, already imagining Wei Zhao being savaged to death by the Five-Shas Dragon. But the scene he envisioned did not come to pass. The Five-Shas Dragon rose to its feet—and instead of attacking Wei Zhao, it whipped around with a "whoosh" and charged at Zhong Yongliang standing not far away!
"Ah?!" Zhong Yongliang was startled out of his wits. He had not expected the Five-Shas Dragon to ignore Wei Zhao and come for him instead. He nearly wet himself with fright and took to his heels at once. And so the earlier scene of the Five-Shas Dragon chasing Wei Zhao became the Five-Shas Dragon chasing Zhong Yongliang!
