Chapter 4610 — Can't Make Sense of It
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At any other time, had anyone dared to look at him that way, Ma Dangfeng would have flown into a rage and struck out. But now he could not—he could not even stand, only kneel there before Wei Zhao in utter degradation. His dignity and confidence shattered in an instant along with his howls. What was left with which to teach these people a lesson?
Fear—deep fear was all that remained in Ma Dangfeng's heart now!
His mind had gone blank. He could not understand what had just happened, still less how he could have lost to a mere peak early-stage Nascent Soul expert—and by such a bizarre, uncanny means! He could not even believe what he was experiencing at this very moment, wondering whether this was all a dream.
He was a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert, he was the top-ranked new champion, an invincible presence who had swept all before him at the Threefold Pavilion's inner-sect tournament, a legendary figure who had overturned everyone's expectations and was destined for the annals of the Threefold Pavilion. How could he possibly lose a challenge match in such a humiliating, bizarre fashion? It was absolutely impossible!
Ma Dangfeng was still deceiving himself, but the onlookers around him were not about to join in his folly. Though none of them could make sense of what had happened, they could at least see one thing clearly: this clash between two generations of new champions had already been decided.
In a single move, Ma Dangfeng, the new top-ranked new champion, had been cleanly defeated—and so miserably that one could hardly bear to look.
For a time, every gaze turned on Wei Zhao carried incomparable awe. In the eyes of these people, a peak early-stage Nascent Soul expert was already a lofty and formidable existence, and Wei Zhao, a legendary figure besides, demanded even greater reverence—not a hint of disrespect dared be shown.
Before this, everyone had assumed Ma Dangfeng would become the new legend of the North Island's Threefold Pavilion. But now, not even the dullest fool would think so. A legend was a legend after all; before a true legend like Wei Zhao, Ma Dangfeng could only be a passing cloud in the background.
The scene stayed hushed for a full half-incense stick's worth of time. Wei Zhao drank his spirit tea just as leisurely, Ma Dangfeng knelt hoarse-throated before him, and everyone around held their breath and watched in silence, the occasional sharp intake of air to be heard—not only from shock, but because Ma Dangfeng's howls and contorted face made onlookers ache for him too...
Everyone wondered what had just happened, but alas, with their strength it would forever be beyond them to see. A method like the Five Elements Killing Qi—unless one were at the level of Shangguan Tianxia, no ordinary person could even imagine its dreadfulness and terror, could not even see it.
With Wei Zhao's present strength, a full-force strike of the Five Elements Killing Qi could instantly slay an expert of the Mystic Ascension stage; as for dealing with Ma Dangfeng, a mid-stage Nascent Soul, it was sheer overkill—a tenth of his power was more than enough. Before the Five Elements Killing Qi, this so-called Earth Dragon was nothing but nonsense. (To be continued...)
