Chapter 5051 — The Outcome Is Decided
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Even so, Leng Leng still held to her preconception and did not take Wei Zhao for a cultivator. Her first reaction was to wonder whether this was some high-tech device from the secular world. Wei Zhao had told her about the bombs of the mortal realm, whose power was said to be immense—perhaps even cultivators like them could not withstand them!
Leng Leng could not make sense of it, but Fei Yangnian on the other side was beginning to. He had failed to recognize Wei Zhao earlier, and he could not distinguish a spirit-body as precisely as Sun Baimei, but he had suffered at the hands of a qi bomb before!
Only half a month had passed—there was no way he could fail to recognize it. What was more, Wei Zhao's figure was very close to that spirit-body outline from before, and his thoughts naturally ran in that direction.
One look at his expression told Wei Zhao that something was wrong, and he gave the man no chance to speak at all. He lunged straight in with a furious barrage of the Wild Fire Eight Trigrams Palm—this man had to die today!
He was only a spirit-body at the peak of early Foundation Establishment and could no longer casually fight opponents above his realm as he once had, but his opponent was merely a mid-Foundation-Establishment cultivator, and in a one-on-one fight Wei Zhao still held a strong advantage.
In the blink of an eye Wei Zhao and Fei Yangnian were locked in battle, and only then did Leng Leng finally snap out of it, her face a mask of utter shock and disbelief. She would never in her wildest dreams have guessed that Wei Zhao, who had been at her side for half a month, was a Foundation Establishment expert!
Quite a few people had come out from the ancient little jianghu for training this time. Even if she could not possibly know them all, she must at least have seen each of them once, and they would have some impression of one another—after all, they had all left the secular world together. Of one thing Leng Leng was certain: Wei Zhao was absolutely not from the ancient little jianghu.
And if he was not from the ancient little jianghu, then he must be one of these native cultivators of the secular world. Could there really be a Heaven Dao expert among them? That was completely at odds with what she had been told!
In the brief moment Leng Leng stood dazed, Wei Zhao and Fei Yangnian traded blows at lightning speed, and within a few short exchanges the outcome was clear—Fei Yangnian, a mid-Foundation-Establishment cultivator, was beaten until he spat blood!
But Wei Zhao had paid a price as well; he now bore quite a few wounds. To kill Fei Yangnian as quickly as possible, he had just now risked trading injury for injury in a straight clash—though it was light wounds traded for heavy ones, and with the jade pendant's space as his backing, it was acceptable.
Bang! A moment later Fei Yangnian took another Wild Fire Thousand Kicks and was slammed upside down against the wall, reduced to a human-shaped mural, unable to move for quite a while.
"The outcome is decided." Wei Zhao immediately moved to finish him off. The man had no strength left to fight back, but this was no time for soft-heartedness. Once word that he was a spirit-body was passed from this creature to the other Heaven Dao experts, endless trouble would follow—who knew whether any of them were cut from the same cloth as Sun Baimei?
Leng Leng stared blankly at the scene, unable to react. Her heart was still in turmoil, and for the moment she simply could not accept the fact that Wei Zhao was a Foundation Establishment expert.
As for whether Fei Yangnian lived or died, she did not care in the least. In truth, even if Wei Zhao had not moved to finish him, she might well have done it herself. After all, this man, like Sun Baimei, had not only meant to kill her but was foul and depraved besides—they were sworn, irreconcilable enemies. (To be continued.)
