Chapter 4266 — Equal Shares for Those Who See It
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
"The facts are right before your eyes, and still you think it impossible?" Wei Zhao laughed, shot Huang Xiaotao a glance, and did not attack at once. "Does Your Excellency think that because our strength is ordinary, you have us completely in hand? Heh. I am afraid you are a bit too confident."
Wei Zhao's calm demeanor threw the already uncertain gray-robed man into disarray. The way he looked at Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao finally shed its earlier contempt and arrogance, becoming much more solemn.
He could see that Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao were truly uninjured at this moment. After taking his Sundering Essence Palm, not only were their primordial spirits not gravely wounded—they did not even have the most basic physical injuries. By contrast, he himself had actually taken a slight injury from that exchange!
Looked at this way, though these two before him were low in strength, when they joined forces their combat power and defense seemed in no way inferior to his own—one might say they were evenly matched, six of one and half a dozen of the other!
When something is abnormal, there must be something uncanny behind it. The gray-robed man felt a sudden jolt in his heart, sensing that today's affair would not be as easy and pleasant as he had imagined.
Having kept close watch on the changes in the gray-robed man's expression, Wei Zhao finally let out a secret breath of relief. From the very start the man had acted lofty and superior, looking down on the two of them; but now, after one exchange, he had been frightened by appearances and was thinking of the two of them too highly.
In truth, during that palm exchange just now, although Ghost Thing had erased the divine-sense attack for Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao, the lethality of the opponent's Sundering Essence Palm was still not to be underestimated. Both Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao had in fact suffered no light injuries—otherwise they would not have looked so wretched, knocked back and sent sprawling.
It was only that Wei Zhao could heal himself quickly, and since his hand was clasped with Huang Xiaotao's, within the span of a few sentences he had smoothed away even her injuries—which was how they could appear so utterly unruffled.
But the gray-robed man knew nothing of this. To his eyes, all he knew was that Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao, facing the Sundering Essence Palm he was most proud of, had come away without the slightest harm to either body or primordial spirit. What that implied behind it all was truly enough to make one's blood run cold!
"Very well. I am not an unreasonable man. Since you have proven your strength, I acknowledge that you have the right to speak with me." The gray-robed man spoke in a heavy voice.
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao were slightly taken aback. With that one sentence, the pressure the gray-robed man exerted on them vanished into nothing. Seeing that the two of them were not soft persimmons to be kneaded at will, he was now preparing to negotiate? This fellow's hide was thick indeed!
And so it was. To reach the Nascent Soul stage, the gray-robed man had certainly seen a vast deal of the world and possessed immensely rich combat experience. Even if he could not see through Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao's hidden cards, he at least knew one thing: these two were absolutely not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.
If he continued to force a fight, though as an Nascent Soul expert he believed his odds of victory were somewhat greater, given how troublesome these two had just proven themselves to be, it would surely cost him great effort—and quite possibly end in mutual destruction. That would hardly be worth it! What he feared most was that the fight would draw in a third party, and then he would gain nothing at all.
