Chapter 2225 — The Thunder Pig Seeks Help

If even the Fifth Protector was no match for him, then Tagan Long would have had no choice but to expose his true strength and fight Wei Zhao to the bitter end—but now it seemed there was no need for him to lift a finger.
Beside him, however, Sun Jingyan was watching with her heart in her throat.
Earlier, when Wei Zhao had held the upper hand, Sun Jingyan had been overjoyed—but the good times did not last. In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhao's situation had turned dire.
Though Sun Jingyan was no cultivator, she was no stranger to fights between cultivators. She knew that Wei Zhao's earlier advantage had not come from being stronger than the Fifth Protector, but from the endless surprise attacks he had launched from out of nowhere.
Now, however, the Fifth Protector had seen through all of Wei Zhao's tricks, and so the Fifth Protector had begun a frenzy of retaliation and counterattack.
Yet for all her anxiety, Sun Jingyan was helpless—there was nothing she could do to help Wei Zhao.
"Bang!"
Another thunderous crash—before Wei Zhao could even scramble up from the ground, the Fifth Protector drove a kick into the small of his back and sent him flying once more!
"Pff—"
Wei Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood in midair, his face turning instantly deathly pale. His body tumbled over and over through the air before slamming hard into the ground, and another gush of blood welled from the corner of his mouth—he had clearly taken serious internal injuries.
Wei Zhao had not gotten up before because he had been healing himself the whole time! Even when he was struck the second time and sent soaring into the air, Wei Zhao had not left the jade pendant's space, but continued healing within it! Wei Zhao had hoped to find a way out by stalling for time, only to discover, to his dismay, that he could not stall at all.
The injuries the Fifth Protector inflicted on him were simply too severe—each time he recovered, it was not even a third of what the Fifth Protector's blows had cost him! In other words, Wei Zhao's healing could not possibly keep pace with the Fifth Protector's attacks.
"Still not dead? Very good, boy—don't die too fast. I haven't finished tormenting you yet!" The Fifth Protector thought of the dead Eighth Protector, thought of his manhood, which was in a state still unknown, and a sinister sneer slid across the corner of his mouth. He was going to torture Wei Zhao—torture him to death!
At that thought, he was in no hurry to finish Wei Zhao off. He came to Wei Zhao's side and kicked out again: "Mountain-Splitting Leg—Fifth Form!"
This time the Fifth Protector did not use the Tenth Form of the Mountain-Splitting Leg, but the Fifth Form instead. The reason was simple: Wei Zhao was already lingering on his last breath. A few more kicks of the Tenth Form and Wei Zhao would likely be dead in short order.
But with the Fifth Form, he could toy with and humiliate Wei Zhao a good many more times. Wei Zhao could not even get up now, so there was no fear of him turning the tables.
"Bang—"
Another heavy thud, and Wei Zhao was sent flying again. Feeling that the force of this blow had lessened considerably, Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief—at least his recovery could now gain some ground. If only the Fifth Protector would ease the force a little more, that would be even better…
Wei Zhao hit the ground, twitched a couple of times, and lay there like a dead dog.
He was faking it. In truth, he still had the strength to get up, and the strength to strike back—but he did not. He wanted to feign weakness, to make the Fifth Protector ease the force a little more.
So he put on the appearance of one at death's door.
"I never thought you'd be so fragile!" The Fifth Protector sneered, yet did not ease the force in the slightest: "Mountain-Splitting Leg, Fifth Form!"
Another Mountain-Splitting Leg, Fifth Form. The Fifth Protector meant to toy with Wei Zhao, but he could not keep this up indefinitely.
