Chapter 2442 — Two Moves
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The sixth stance of Wei Zhao's Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm was equivalent to the twelfth stance of ordinary Heaven-rank martial arts. The eleventh stance had been enough to cripple Old Bi; the twelfth could instantly kill an expert of peak late Earth-rank strength equal to Old Bi—a trifling matter!
The short Heaven-rank early-stage robber was greatly alarmed. He had not expected that the person stepping off the bus was actually a cultivator. It suddenly dawned on him that this man might be Wei Zhao, whom Right Panhu had mentioned over the phone. Shocked and furious, he meant to strike out and teach Wei Zhao a lesson—but to his surprise, having finished off the tall robber, Wei Zhao sent another palm straight at his chest!
"Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm—Seventh Stance!" After unleashing the sixth stance of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm, Wei Zhao did not pause but directly unleashed the seventh stance! This too was Wei Zhao's strategy: using the sixth stance to draw out the seventh, the success rate was higher!
"Bang!" A furious surge of blazing true qi poured from Wei Zhao's palm and converged on the short robber's chest. The true qi burst forth in an instant; the short robber gave a miserable scream, and he too followed in the tall robber's footsteps!
The short robber was blasted away by the seventh stance of Wei Zhao's Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm. Though he managed to stagger to a halt after being driven back some distance, not flying into the ravine like the tall robber before him, he was clearly in a sorry state. With a "wa," he spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief, crying out in alarm, "The thirteenth stance of Heaven-rank martial arts—how is that possible... Are you a mid-stage Heaven-rank expert? No... you're not..."
After saying this, the short robber spat out another mouthful of blood. He appeared to have suffered extremely severe internal injuries.
Seeing the short robber's appearance, Wei Zhao's heart immediately eased. Success—it had actually succeeded!
Previously, Wei Zhao had also tried to unleash the seventh stance of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm, but each attempt had met with some obstacle. This time, however, he had never expected that in the heat of the moment it would actually succeed. Though somewhat stiff and unpracticed, it had succeeded in the end!
As expected, in a moment of crisis, a person's potential is limitless! Without pressure before, Wei Zhao had merely cultivated day by day in routine fashion, deducing and unleashing his martial arts without any sense of urgency, never driven to the brink, and so had never succeeded.
But today, facing an early-stage Heaven-rank expert, the seventh stance had come forth successfully! Still, it must be said that this was a rather lucky thing. Wei Zhao had truly taken a risk; had the unleashing failed, he would have lost the best moment to strike, and even he was not confident of injuring this early-stage Heaven-rank expert!
The sixth stance of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm was formidable, but in truth it was only equal to the twelfth stance of ordinary martial arts—that is, the martial arts used by normal early-stage Heaven-rank experts and peak early-stage Heaven-rank experts. Against this short expert, it amounted to no more than a match of equals!
If the two had clashed, it would have been hard to say whether Wei Zhao or the short robber would be the one injured. So Wei Zhao had no choice but to take the risk!
