Chapter 2238 — The Clever One?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Everyone can talk big. If you want the thing in my hands, you will have to get through me first." As Wei Zhao spoke, his confidence was noticeably lacking. Back at the hidden clans' assembly, he had bluffed and blustered those early-stage Heaven-rank old fellows into not daring to make a move, creating the illusion that he was invincible below Heaven-rank and could even hold his own against Heaven-rank experts.
But this man before him, Wei Zhao could sense, was not as timid or as burdened by gain and loss as those Heaven-rank old-timers. This man was absolutely a ruthless character!
"Get through you? An early-stage Earth-rank expert dares say such words before me—what sheer ignorance." The Grand Protector looked at Wei Zhao with some derision. "Hand over what you carry like a good boy, and I guarantee your woman will not die!"
The Grand Protector could now see Sun Jingyan clearly as well. At this moment he could conclude that this person was not the one they had sought all those years ago, merely someone who bore a slight resemblance—but even so, this person must surely be connected to the one from back then. Thus the Grand Protector could not make the decision himself; he must bring her back to that place and let those lords decide...
"In that case... then you can go to hell, old thing!" As Wei Zhao spoke, a true-energy bomb shot out, and then the fifth form of the Frenzied Fire Fist, paired with the Fireflow Divine Bullet, was unleashed as well!
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar erupted against the Grand Protector's chest, and then Wei Zhao's fifth form of the Frenzied Fire Fist struck out as well, attacking the Grand Protector's chest!
Since this thing had appeared before him, Wei Zhao could not avoid a battle with him, so Wei Zhao struck with killing moves from the very first blow, leaving no room whatsoever.
Flee? Wei Zhao certainly could not outrun a Heaven-rank expert. However exquisite his movement techniques, he was no match for a Heaven-rank expert. Against Earth-rank experts or those Heaven-rank old-timers of the hidden clans, Wei Zhao was confident he could escape—but against someone like the Grand Protector, Wei Zhao had not the slightest confidence!
Coming and going with a drift—much like Aunt Qing and the little冰糖 girl he had seen in the Ice Palace—these were "true" Heaven-rank experts, utterly different from those Heaven-rank experts who had been forced upward with pills and rare treasures and lacked any real combat experience.
Especially with Sun Jingyan at his side, Wei Zhao had even less means to flee alone, so he could only fight the Grand Protector head-on!
The Grand Protector had never imagined that an expert of Wei Zhao's rank would dare strike first against a Heaven-rank expert. This both startled and enraged him!
Though an attack of Wei Zhao's strength could not do him much harm, he was still furious! This was Wei Zhao's contempt for him!
The Grand Protector was already fully aware of what had happened earlier when they surrounded and hunted the fire lion at the foot of the mountain range. Though Wei Zhao had caught the Eighth Protector off guard and killed him, he had been beaten by the Fifth Protector until he was scrabbling on the ground like a ball being kicked about. Had the great fire lion not come to his rescue, Wei Zhao would by now surely have been kicked to death!
Moreover, by the Grand Protector's reckoning, Wei Zhao should still be nursing unhealed injuries. Even if he had taken pills like the Little Restoration Pill, he could not possibly have recovered so quickly—so the Grand Protector had never imagined that Wei Zhao would dare provoke him first!
