Chapter 2294 — Shadowing in Secret
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The Tagan clan was situated within an independent manor in Ruileida Town. The estate covered a vast area, surrounded on all sides by fertile fields and woods, with not a single household along the roads nearby—for all of this was the Tagan clan's private domain.
Of course, no clan without a certain level of strength could possibly live in such a place. With no one around for miles, what if villains came raiding? Only a clan like the Tagan, with countless cultivators to its name, would dare to do so.
But this place suited Wei Zhao perfectly—a fine spot for murder and plunder, with no fear of being seen by anyone.
Lazi drove the Humvee at speed along the road before the manor. But suddenly, in the empty road ahead, a figure appeared! Lazi was startled half out of his wits—for a moment he thought he had seen a ghost!
After all, deep in the night, on a road where there had been nothing at all, a person appearing out of nowhere like that would frighten anyone. Fortunately, Lazi was something of a minor boss in the Adventurers' Guild and a cultivator besides. Seeing someone step out, his horror lasted only an instant; the next moment he realized the newcomer meant no good.
Still, Lazi had no intention of stopping. He floored the accelerator, meaning to run the man down. Anyone standing in the middle of the road to block a car was surely no good sort, and Lazi felt no need to be polite—just floor it and run him over.
Had Wei Zhao still been Yellow-Rank, he would naturally have feared a car striking him. But Wei Zhao was now a mid-stage Earth-Rank cultivator, protected by powerful true qi. Even if the car came at him, it could do him no harm; on the contrary, one punch from Wei Zhao could flip the speeding vehicle.
"Frenzied Fire Fist, First Form!" Wei Zhao struck the instant Lazi's car came rushing up. The first form of the Frenzied Fire Fist alone was enough. Lazi was only a Yellow-Rank fighter, and Wei Zhao truly feared striking too hard and killing him outright, so this punch was aimed mainly at sending the car flying.
"Boom!" With a huge crash, the speeding car shot abruptly into the air, flipped over once in the sky, and then came down hard on the roadside, its four wheels pointing at the sky and spinning with a whir. Wei Zhao's punch had been just right—it did not destroy the car and kill Lazi.
"Out of the car, Mr. Lazi!" Wei Zhao gave the stunned and uncertain Lazi no time to collect himself. He yanked the door open with force and hauled Lazi out of the driver's seat.
The car's frame was very sturdy, and it had merely rolled over rather than exploded, so for a cultivator like Lazi it had done no fatal damage—it had only given him a terrible fright!
