Chapter 1510 — The Unfortunate Yushan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Consider yourselves lucky! I will not cripple you. Now get out of here!" Yushan took the spoils with a smug look and waved the squad away.
The squad had no intention of lingering, of course. Seeing that Yushan was letting them go, every one of them felt a great weight lift from his heart and hurried off.
"Ha! Brother Nitian, your name alone carries such weight! You just stand there — no need to speak, no need to circulate a single technique — and they hand over their treasures of heaven and earth like lambs!" Yushan's points had now broken past the five-hundred mark, and Feng Nitian's had climbed past eight hundred. All along the way, plundering and searching alike, they had reaped a rich harvest.
"This suits me well enough. It saves me the trouble of lifting a hand. I will conserve my strength to help you deal with Yubing," Feng Nitian said haughtily.
"Who knows where that wretch Yubing, that short-lived coward, has hidden himself? Why have we not run into him by now? He would not be deliberately hiding from us, would he?" Yushan was growing impatient. Once Yubing was crippled, the seat of Yu family head would be his beyond any doubt.
Although the Yu family had long shown an inclination to let Yuning take over, Yushan knew that sooner or later Yuning would become the Yu family's ancestral guardian — an existence like that of Grandfather — and the family's affairs would still need a patriarch to manage them, just as Yu Xiaochen did now.
This, then, was the opportunity he had to seize.
These words happened to fall upon the ears of Yubing, who had just arrived. He was so enraged that he clenched his fists, and could not keep himself from saying, "I am a wretch, am I? Then what are you? We are brothers of one house — does that make you a little wretch?"
"Oh? Is this not my dear eldest brother? You have finally come to throw your life away? You have no idea — your little brother has been dying to see you!" Yushan turned his head, caught sight of Yubing, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. So he had delivered himself at last!
"Dying to see me? Or dying to see me dead?" Yubing asked mildly.
"Bah, even so, we are blood brothers — you might put it a little more delicately!" Yushan laughed. "I hear you found yourself a formidable helper, one who even crippled Zhang Nai Pao? What a pity — no matter how formidable he is, before Brother Nitian he is no better than garbage!"
"I would not put it that way. The fact that he could defeat Zhang Nai Pao means he does have some strength. It is only because of my technique that I am an invincible existence below the Earth rank," Feng Nitian said with a wave of his hand, putting on great airs.
"Yushan, you really do not seem to have an ounce of goodwill about you, do you know that? I have come to cripple you," Wei Zhao said coolly. "I will make Yubing the head of the Yu family. As for you, a stumbling block — well, this is a fitting occasion to clear you away."
"Hmph!" Yushan sneered. "You fool. Truly, ignorance makes one fearless! With death at your door, you still dare to spout such arrogant words? Do you not know that before Brother Nitian, you are nothing at all?"
"If I am nothing at all, then you are even less than garbage." Wei Zhao wasted no more words and struck straight at Yushan with his palm.
Seeing Wei Zhao come at him, Yushan neither dodged nor flinched. A mocking edge curved at the corner of his mouth. "Brother Nitian, freeze him! We will take our time playing him to death!"
But the moment Yushan finished speaking, Wei Zhao's palm had already landed on his chest, sending him flying. His body traced an arc through the air and crashed into the snow not far off, smashing out a great crater. Then, with a wet retch, he vomited a great mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.
