Chapter 3950 — Blown Up by His Own Bomb
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Boom! The ground shook violently, and the faces of all below changed drastically. When the dust settled, more than half the arena platform had been destroyed.
The protective formation of the Welcome New Pavilion's arena platform was not, perhaps, of the highest grade, but the only one who had ever done such a thing before seemed to be Wei Zhao alone. Who would have thought that Kang Jingming, that spineless coward, was a ruthless character too!
With such power, only a freak like Wei Zhao could come off unscathed. Against any other newcomer present, it would surely have meant certain death, with no chance of survival.
This Kang Jingming fellow really did have some skill after all.
What they did not know was that this time, in order to secretly do Wei Zhao in, Kang Jingming had deliberately held back his pill-fire bomb for a long while, and its power had reached the limit of what he could produce. That was why it had gotten so out of hand that even he could not control it.
Now, thanks to that, the pill-fire bomb he had painstakingly nursed in secret had failed to blow up Wei Zhao—and had instead buried himself.
Originally, thanks to Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng's intervention, Kang Jingming, though in dire peril, would still have had a chance to fling the pill-fire bomb away in time and escape unharmed.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhao gave him no such chance. At the instant he released his hold, he had secretly slipped a thread of true qi inside. If Kang Jingming could still hold on until the bomb left his hand, that would truly be a wonder to behold.
Having barely escaped one calamity, he had never expected to be played by Wei Zhao in the end after all. This time Kang Jingming was truly out of luck.
Like the others, Wei Zhao stared fixedly at the scene on the platform. He, too, was eager to know one thing now: whether Kang Jingming was dead or alive.
Given the present balance of strength between them, Kang Jingming could hardly pose a real threat to him anymore. But in view of all their past grudges, Wei Zhao would not mind taking this chance to do Kang Jingming in.
A moment later, someone with sharp eyes among the crowd spotted Kang Jingming in the ruins of the platform. His whole body was covered in wounds, and where the flesh had been torn open, patches of ghastly charred black showed amid the bright red—a sight truly too awful to behold.
Hu Yunfeng's eyelid twitched at the sight. However much Kang Jingming disgraced him, the man was, after all, someone Xu Lingchong had instructed him to cultivate and promote. If he simply let him die here, it would be hard to answer to Xu Lingchong afterward.
With a flicker of movement, Hu Yunfeng appeared beside Kang Jingming and carefully checked his breathing. He found that the man was breathing out more than he was taking in, clearly on the verge of death—but fortunately, one last breath remained.
Hu Yunfeng hesitated a moment, then gritted his teeth and drew from his robe a top-grade fourth-rank Great Restoration Pill, feeding it to Kang Jingming. Precious as a fourth-rank Great Restoration Pill was, if it could buy back Kang Jingming's life, it would not only be a life-saving favor to the man himself, but also, crucially, put Xu Lingchong in his debt. All in all, it was well worth it.
Watching this, Wei Zhao could not help silently lamenting the lost chance. This time he had finally had a rare opportunity to openly do Kang Jingming in, and once this chance was gone, it would be a long while before another came his way. R1152
