Chapter 2224 — The Gap Is Too Great
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
So this time he left only a small fraction of his true qi at his head, and the greater part of it he used to protect his lower half. For the Fifth Protector guessed that a man as venomous as Wei Zhao would likely strike at his lower body again—that root-severing fist of his. Despicable as it was, it was also devilishly effective.
"Boom—"
Wei Zhao's Fourth Form Frenzied Fire Fist slammed straight into the Fifth Protector's skull and sent the man flying backward through the air!
True, the Fifth Protector had left some true qi to guard his head, but certainly not much—and so the tragedy unfolded. This time Wei Zhao had not used the martial art of the Myriad Transformations of Forest and Wood, but had switched to Frenzied Fire Fist!
The Myriad Transformations of Forest and Wood was uncanny, to be sure, but it split its power among a number of separate punches. Had those six punches not landed on the Fifth Protector's manhood, he would never have been injured so badly.
Frenzied Fire Fist was a different matter. Its Fourth Form was enough to rival the Fifth Form of other martial arts, and this one punch of Wei Zhao's all but gave the Fifth Protector a concussion!
"Brat, I'll kill you!" Sent flying, the Fifth Protector clambered shakily to his feet, his face slick with blood, his expression utterly savage. He had not expected to come off the worse again. This Wei Zhao was simply too cunning—his martial arts were not only numerous but uncanny, different every time, leaving him no way to respond.
Of course, domineering as that punch of Wei Zhao's was, the gap in rank between him and the Fifth Protector was simply too vast. Even with the Fifth Protector caught off guard, the blow still could not deal him a fatal injury.
Instead, the pain in his head and his lower body only roused the Fifth Protector's savagery. He drew a deep breath and forced his emotions steady. In an instant the true qi within him surged to a roar, his blood-red eyes glittering with dense killing intent, and with a furious bellow he charged at Wei Zhao, trailing a murderous vigor that seemed to blot out the sky!
"Mountain-Splitting Leg—Tenth Form!"
Watching the Fifth Protector come on like a raging leopard, Wei Zhao's heart sank a little. His opponent's strength far exceeded his imaginings—beaten as he was, the Fifth Protector still possessed such ferocious fighting power!
"Frenzied Fire Fist—Fourth Form!"
There was no help for it. Wei Zhao could only pit his strongest martial art, Frenzied Fire Fist, against the man in a straight clash. His true-qi bomb could not be used again in so short a time, and the Myriad Transformations of Forest and Wood was unsuited to head-on confrontation—it was fit only for surprise attacks.
"Boom!"
Wei Zhao's fist and the Fifth Protector's leg collided with a thunderous crash like a peal of muffled thunder!
Wei Zhao's body was sent flying backward on the spot. In a straight clash, he was indeed no match at all!
Watching Wei Zhao tumble through the air, the Fifth Protector's lips curved in a cruel smile, killing intent churning in his heart!
Today he must slaughter Wei Zhao, or the hatred in his heart would never be appeased!
Never mind that the Eighth Protector had died at Wei Zhao's hands—even his own manhood, the Fifth Protector's, was now in who knew what state. Wei Zhao had to die!
"A Fourth Form martial art, is it? A mantis trying to stop a chariot—what presumption!" The Fifth Protector sneered, and giving Wei Zhao not the slightest chance, he launched himself forward again: "Mountain-Splitting Leg, Tenth Form—brat, go to your death!" (To be continued) RQ
