Chapter 1513 — A Hard-Won Victory, but at the Moment the True Qi Bomb Exploded, Wei Zhao Feared the Blast Would Harm Feng Xiaoxiao on His Back, So He Shielded Her with the Last Trace of True Qi in His Body, and That Is What Led to the Present Situation

"Ling Yi!" Seeing that Feng Nitian had risen while Wei Zhao still showed no movement, Yubing grew anxious at once! Though Feng Nitian looked miserable, at least he was alive, while Wei Zhao lay prone on the ground without stirring. How could he not worry?
Xiaoqing, standing on the summit of the snow mountain, asked in some puzzlement, "Palace Lord, that Ling Yi... can he be finished?"
"I do not know... Perhaps he used all the true qi in his body to shield that girl behind him," the Ice Palace Lord said with a frown.
"Ah! Then he really is a devoted man!" Xiaoqing sighed. "Does that mean he has lost in the end?"
"Hard to say... I just feel something is not quite right!" The Ice Palace Lord shook her head. "This Ling Yi does not seem like a reckless man. Perhaps he is not dead."
"I hope so. Otherwise, if Ling Yi is really dead, it will be quite difficult!" Xiaoqing said. "Feng Nitian broke the trial rules and beat a man to death, yet he himself is gravely wounded. Whether we punish him or not, we really will not know what to do!"
"That is nothing to worry about. If we punish him, the ancient Feng family will not fall out with our Ice Palace over a man who has already become useless," the Ice Palace Lord said, quite unconcerned about such things.
Just as they were speaking, Wei Zhao suddenly moved as well! Unlike Feng Nitian, Wei Zhao sprang to his feet in one leap, without struggling painfully up from the ground! Though the clothes on his body were tattered, Wei Zhao now looked refreshed and spirited, as if he had not suffered the slightest injury!
"Ling Yi! Wonderful!" Seeing Wei Zhao like that, Yubing felt his heart, which had risen to his throat, drop back into place at once, and he cried out in excitement, "You are truly formidable. You did not disappoint me!"
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly, though inwardly he felt helpless. He knew his own condition best. That leap to his feet had come only after gathering his strength for a long while and spending it all in one breath. In truth, his body was still very weak!
His internal organs together with his meridians had all suffered very grave damage. Wei Zhao had only used the Xuanyuan Yulong Art to forcefully repair the superficial wounds on the surface of his body, so that outwardly he appeared as if he had not been hurt at all, though in fact it was quite otherwise.
Seeing Wei Zhao actually stand up, Yushan fell into utter despair in an instant! It was over, utterly over this time. Was this Wei Zhao too mighty? If he had known Yubing had found such a powerful backer, why would he have fought him for the family head succession? He might as well have yielded it. He was no match at all!
