Chapter 1343 — Busy Right Now
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Old Mr. Yu had his arm blown wounded for no reason at all, and was so furious that smoke seemed to pour from all his orifices: "Wah-yah-yah-yah, you wretch, how dare you plot against this old man! What crooked sorcery did you use?"
Old Mr. Yu had never heard of any energy true-qi bomb, and took it for granted that Wei Zhao had used some modern weapon like a hand grenade. Yet even a Profound-rank expert wrapped in protective true qi was already hard to wound, and he was now an Earth-rank expert. How could he possibly be hurt by a grenade?
Though Old Mr. Yu was baffled to the extreme, he also knew the great blast Wei Zhao had set off had already wakened everyone present. He could only endure the pain and hide himself in frustration, wondering to himself whether Wei Zhao had used something like nitroglycerin.
At such close range, even he with his protective true qi had been blasted into this state. Wei Zhao was but a trifling Profound-rank expert. Even if he had dodged backward, he must be badly hurt as well. Thinking of it that way, Old Mr. Yu felt a little more balanced. Gloomily, he fished a bottle of healing medicine from his pocket and sprinkled it over his arm...
Old Mr. Yu's guess was correct. Even though Wei Zhao this time had the experience to dodge backward, and even though the energy bomb was not the complete version, Wei Zhao was still wounded by the blast. Only he gritted his teeth against the pain and made it back to his tent.
Once inside the tent, a flush spread across Wei Zhao's face. With a "wah" he spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the ground, then sat down cross-legged with a darkened face and entered the jade pendant space.
Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan had also been wakened by the earlier blast. Just as they were wondering what had happened, they saw Wei Zhao come through the door, spit blood, and sit down cross-legged. They wanted to ask what was wrong with him, but dared not disturb him now, and could only wait anxiously to one side.
Before long, footsteps sounded outside the tent, followed by a voice speaking: "Husband-and-Wife Thieves, please come to Brother Black's tent for a talk!"
Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan exchanged a glance. Chen Yuxuan walked straight out of the tent, glared at the man speaking in the distance, and said: "What are you shouting for? Are you calling back souls? Our master is busy with private business. Wait a bit!"
"Ah?" The man of Brother Black's who had come for the Husband-and-Wife Thieves froze at Chen Yuxuan's words. Busy with private business? What did that mean? Then, thinking it over, it began to dawn on him. In the dead of night, could these Husband-and-Wife Thieves be... doing that? It seemed quite possible. No wonder they had this big fool standing guard at the door! With that thought, the underling said: "Did you not hear that huge blast just now?"
"I heard it. Whether our master heard it, I do not know. Anyway, they never came out from inside." Chen Yuxuan said flatly.
"Ah? Like that... all right, then when they are finished, tell them to come to Brother Black's tent." The underling thought to himself that it was only natural to hear nothing outside while doing that sort of thing, so he thought no more of it and went off to call on the others.
