"Hahahaha! Wei Zhao, weren't you so arrogant? Didn't you think you were so impressive? At the aristocratic clans' convention, you told my Kang family to get lost! How does it feel now? You're getting what you deserve, aren't you?" Watching Wei Zhao driven steadily backward, Kang Jingming burst into delighted laughter. "Let me tell you something: retribution never fails. It only waits for the right time!"
"Kang Jingming, you've got some nerve. Where did you find such an expert?" Wei Zhao asked while repairing his injuries. The damage within him was growing more severe by the moment, but each time he was injured, he repaired his palms and meridians first, ensuring that the force of his attacks would not diminish. As for everything else, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"Where did I find him...? Hmph. Why should I tell you?" Kang Jingming was not a fool. He knew Wei Zhao was trying to draw information out of him, and he would not fall for it so easily.
"He's still alive?" You Shisan was somewhat astonished. By all rights, even if Wei Zhao were an Earth-rank expert, he should have been dead by now. And if not dead, he should at least have been too badly injured to get back on his feet. How could he still be speaking?
Astonished though he was, You Shisan raised both palms once more and struck at Wei Zhao! His purpose was simple: to help Kang Jingming eliminate Wei Zhao. He had no need to waste words on him.
Wei Zhao was sent flying again, exactly as expected, yet by some miracle, he rose to his feet once more...
After this happened three more times, You Shisan finally began to lose patience! His palms had already swollen badly. Wei Zhao might have been only an early Earth-rank expert, two levels weaker than him, but under such a high-intensity, head-on exchange, he was still inflicting a certain amount of damage!
This infuriated You Shisan. He had made his name through palm techniques and was most skilled in their use. Yet after striking Wei Zhao so many times, he still had not managed to kill him. Most unbelievable of all, Wei Zhao's hands had not been crippled. He could still use his martial skill and contend with him!
Could this kid be an external cultivator who specialized in training his hands?
"Thunderous Stormcloud Palm!" Enraged, You Shisan launched another attack. Wei Zhao continued to counter each move as it came.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, a faint smile crossed Wei Zhao's lips. He thought, Even if I cannot overpower you, I can still keep fighting. Water can wear through stone, and with enough persistence, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. I will grind you down blow by blow. Your martial skill is based on your palms, isn't it? Fine. Then I will cripple those hands of yours and see how you fight after that!
Wei Zhao had such confidence because You Shisan's palms had gone from completely unharmed at the beginning to horribly swollen now. In that, Wei Zhao saw hope!
"Again!" After repairing his palms and meridians, Wei Zhao rose to his feet and said to You Shisan, "Come again!"
"!!!!" You Shisan was on the verge of madness. What the hell was this man? After taking so many blows, he still would not die. Wei Zhao was plainly suffering severe internal injuries, yet somehow his hands remained intact, while You Shisan's own palms had been beaten swollen. And he still wanted to continue?
Driven into a fury by humiliation, You Shisan struck toward Wei Zhao once more. Wei Zhao, however, met the attack with a smile!
