Chapter 1511 — Wanting to Say Sorry
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Since he had already made enemies of Yubing and Wei Zhao, he might as well carry on! Yushan might be a worthless wretch, but Feng Nitian would still honor what he had promised him earlier — that, too, was a matter of an ancient family's word.
With such a beginning behind him, he was confident that collaborators would not be lacking at his side in the future.
And now, having heard Yushan's words, Feng Nitian was even less inclined to let Wei Zhao and Yubing off. As he himself had said, if Yubing were crippled as well, he still had hope!
"Yushan, you're deluding yourself! Even if I'm wounded and crippled, I won't let you live easy!" Yubing said.
"That's not for you to decide!" Yushan laughed aloud. When he heard that Feng Nitian had no intention of sparing Wei Zhao and Yubing, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "Your teammate has already been locked in place by Brother Nitian. Take one more step forward, and you'll be locked in place too!"
"Ah?" Yubing was briefly stunned. He raised his head toward Wei Zhao, and only then discovered that Wei Zhao had indeed become utterly motionless!
At that moment Wei Zhao was frozen in the posture of a palm strike, as though he were about to unleash a move — and yet could not unleash it.
Wei Zhao had indeed been locked in place by Feng Nitian's Nitian Divine Art. He could think, he could see clearly what was before him, he could hear every word that passed between them — but his whole body would not move.
So it was true! Wei Zhao thought to himself. It was exactly as Yubing had once described it: his body felt bound by something, and no matter what he tried, he could not stir a hairsbreadth.
"Ling Yi, I admit you're formidable — you even defeated Zhang Nai Pao. But before me, you will still lose. No cultivator below the Earth rank can break my domain. Your body will not move, no matter what!" Feng Nitian gazed at the motionless Wei Zhao, thoroughly pleased with himself.
He had never crossed hands with Zhang Nai Pao before, but they were both disciples of the ancient level, and the urge to prove who stood higher was there all the same. Only their respective positions made a true contest impossible — yet neither yielded to the other, and each was set on holding his head above the other's.
But now he could defeat Wei Zhao, and Wei Zhao had wounded Zhang Nai Pao. That being so, it was as good as saying he could defeat Zhang Nai Pao as well. How could Feng Nitian not be pleased?
"Brother Nitian, we've finally found you... Huh? What's this, you two...? Isn't that Brother Ling?" Zhao Qilei and Zhao Qiwu were not in the same squad as Feng Nitian, and so they had been searching for him and Yushan all along. Now, at long last, they had managed to find Feng Nitian — but... something seemed to have gone wrong?
"Young Master Tan, it looks like a fight has started..." Zhao Qiwu said in a low voice.
"This..." Zhao Qilei was taken aback. He hesitated a moment, but in the end withdrew to one side.
The news that Ling Yi had crippled Zhang Nai Pao had reached his ears as well, and it had astonished Zhao Qilei greatly. He had never imagined that Ling Yi could be so formidable as to defeat even Zhang Nai Pao, who had come out of an ancient sect!
It left Zhao Qilei rather regretting having entangled himself with Yushan. Without Yushan, if he had made a squad with Ling Yi and Feng Nitian, would they not have been invincible under heaven? But now, seeing Wei Zhao and Feng Nitian squared off, he hesitated and then decided to help neither side.
For in his eyes the contest between Wei Zhao and Feng Nitian was a fifty-fifty affair; he was not at all confident that Feng Nitian would win outright.
"This... what's going on here? We all know one another. Harmony brings wealth..." Zhao Qilei put on a hypocritical show of ignorance and offered to mediate.
