Chapter 4725 — Pierced Straight Through
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
At last, after a faint, all but inaudible crack arose amid the chaos, the thunderous roar of the Furious Fire Thousand Explosions Fist gradually died away, and the blinding firelight scattered with it. The narrow canyon passage returned to its former state.
Only then did Kang Jingming once again locate Wei Zhao standing right before him, and he burst into wild laughter. "Poseur, did your brain take a swim? You really think I don't dare kill you? You know your sneak attack failed, yet you don't run, and you've got the damn nerve to still be standing here. Have you posed your way into idiocy?"
"I'm not an idiot, but you're about to become one." Wei Zhao smiled faintly. Almost before the words left his mouth, a thread of blue electric arc leaped from his fingertip, tracing a clean curve, and landed in an instant on the crown of Kang Jingming's helmet.
Kang Jingming was stunned. He had not expected Wei Zhao to be able to generate lightning! Could this be some divine artifact Han Jingyi had given him?
But he was not afraid, either. He was just about to sneer—after all, his smart armor was proof against electricity; in his eyes Wei Zhao's little trick was sheer buffoonery. Yet before he could even curve his lips into a grin, he heard a crack-crack-crack-crack of sharp reports above his head, and his whole body suddenly began to convulse wildly, breaking into a bizarre breakdance on the spot.
Beneath the flashing electric light, even the outline of his bones inside became faintly visible. Black smoke came streaming from his head—by God, the man was being live-roasted on the spot!
Xu Lingchong, who had fled to one side, was utterly dumbstruck at the sight. What on earth was going on? He had assumed Kang Jingming could eat Wei Zhao alive with that formidable gear of his. But from the way things looked now, how had it turned out to be the other way around—Kang Jingming being eaten alive?!
To be honest, Wei Zhao had only just mastered this power of thunder and lightning, and its might was hardly anything to write home about. But once Kang Jingming's smart armor had its insulating protective layer breached, it turned into a veritable metal cage, and unwittingly multiplied by several times the power of the lightning poured into it. So long as he still wore that smart armor, Kang Jingming had no way to escape.
Even so, the man still thrashed about desperately like some unkillable cockroach. In the end, it was simply that Wei Zhao's electric arc was too weak!
With no other choice, Wei Zhao could only keep pouring on the power of lightning with all his might. Blue-glowing arcs streamed ceaselessly into the metal armor, and Kang Jingming had no chance to break free at all. He could only stand pinned there, his whole body twitching wildly.
Thus Kang Jingming was now completely at Wei Zhao's mercy, without the slightest ability to fight back. Even if his vitality really was like that of a cockroach, at this rate being electrocuted to death was only a matter of time—it would merely cost a bit more effort.
But just then, from far behind them, Huo Yudie's startled cry suddenly rang out: "Watch out!!!"
Wei Zhao's heart lurched. In truth, even without Huo Yudie's warning, the jade pendant had already alerted him. But because his entire mind had been fixed on Kang Jingming, for a moment he simply failed to react. And the opponent's attack was far too fast—without prior anticipation, there was no dodging it at all, because this was a laser!
In the end, Wei Zhao's reaction was still a beat too slow. A blindingly brilliant laser beam came silently at the speed of light, without any shocking sound, and yet it pierced straight through Wei Zhao's abdomen, blasting a harrowing hole clean through him!
