Chapter 2441 — Robbed Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The bus's brakes squealed again and again, quickly dropping from a hundred kilometers an hour to twenty, and then it was finally cut off by the heavy truck and forced to a halt—the driver had no choice but to brake!
When something strange happens, there's bound to be a demon behind it. In all his years, the bus driver had never encountered anything like this! Playing such games on the highway was practically murder! Yet the heavy truck didn't seem to want to kill—it had given the driver ample reaction time and braking distance.
Though the heavy truck kept trying to force the bus to stop, it wasn't impatient; it proceeded step by step, letting the bus slow down gradually before finally bringing it to a halt, minimizing the danger.
"We might be running into more robbers..." the driver said, his face pale. He had finally thought of the least likely possibility—but in fact, it was the most likely one...
"What?" Right Panhu was stunned by the driver's words! Surely they couldn't be that unlucky? They'd just been robbed, and now another gang of robbers? Could there really be such a coincidence?
The other students on the bus also changed color at the driver's words. They'd just been robbed, and now more robbers—how had all the bad luck in the world fallen on this one bus? So many cars on the highway were fine, yet theirs had run into trouble twice in a row?
As the people on the bus were saying this, the cab of the heavy truck was pushed open, and two people climbed out—one tall, one short—and after getting out, they walked straight toward the bus's door!
Upon seeing these two, Wei Zhao's eyelid twitched slightly, and something suddenly occurred to him. He glanced at Kang Jinglong, beaten into a bloody gourd, and nearly laughed out loud! This was really too much of a coincidence!
These two who had climbed down from the heavy truck looked utterly ordinary, but with his golden finger, Wei Zhao saw their strength at a glance! The tall one was a peak late-stage Earth-rank expert, and the short one was an early-stage Heaven-rank expert!
The tall one, Wei Zhao wasn't afraid of—about on par with Old Bi, no more than a single move in Wei Zhao's hands! Wei Zhao was mid-stage Earth-rank; even back when he could only unleash the fifth form of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm he hadn't feared such an opponent, let alone now, at peak mid-stage Earth-rank, able to unleash the sixth form!
What worried Wei Zhao somewhat was the short early-stage Heaven-rank expert. Against this man, Wei Zhao wasn't fully confident of killing him—after all, the other was a Heaven-rank expert while Wei Zhao was still Earth-rank, and not yet at peak late-stage Earth-rank.
Fortunately, this early-stage Heaven-rank expert didn't seem too powerful—just an ordinary Heaven-rank expert, surely not the sort of figure that came from the ancient levels! Of course, this man was most likely a Heaven-rank expert sent by Right Panhu of the Right family; probably some retainer or disciple type, strong but not too strong—otherwise, someone truly formidable wouldn't be hiding out as a retainer for the Right family, but would have joined an ancient sect or ancient clan long ago.
