Chapter 2614 — Not Dead After All?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Earlier, Xiao Yi had sensed the fluctuation of true qi from the opposite side, but she had not taken it to be Wei Zhao's. After all, when a cultivator unleashes a martial technique, it stirs up a powerful surge of true qi whose residual force lingers for a long while.
So after her initial shock, Xiao Yi's expression turned incomparably grim. If even this had not killed Wei Zhao, then how was he ever to be killed? Would she have to resort to a weapon?
Mighty as Xiao Yi's divine weapon was, wielding it required an infusion of true qi, and she had already expended a great deal. Even if she drew the weapon now, she might not be able to unleash a greater power.
Besides, Wei Zhao hadn't self-destructed, had he? Then what kind of move was that true qi explosion?
In truth, Xiao Yi was overthinking it. She had not seen Wei Zhao blasted away by a true qi bomb, so she still assumed he had miraculously survived her martial technique.
"I'm not dead, so I was thinking—shouldn't we have a talk?" Wei Zhao stood with both hands in his trouser pockets, his right hand gripping the Heaven and Earth Net, ready to unleash it at any moment. But he genuinely wanted to find out just which sect Xiao Yi and Tagan Long belonged to.
That way, even if he captured them, he could settle the score later—or at least he would know how to leak word to them that he had fled to Xixing Mountain Village.
"Talk about what?" Xiao Yi frowned, turning over in her mind why Wei Zhao was not dead. It made no sense—the Twelfth Stance, Tornado Heaven and Earth, had made Wei Zhao vomit blood, yet now he had taken the Nineteenth Stance and seemed perfectly fine, full of vigor. Xiao Yi was utterly baffled.
"What sect are you from? And Tagan Long? Why is his martial technique even stronger than yours?" Wei Zhao fired off the questions in one breath.
"Why ask so much?" Xiao Yi frowned. "All I can tell you is that we are very powerful, and that by crossing us you have only one road left—death... Hmm, that's right. Just now you were blown far away, same as me, weren't you?"
Xiao Yi studied Wei Zhao and suddenly realized he was a long way from her. Which meant that at the time, Wei Zhao had not been at the point where the technique was unleashed—he must have used that peculiar explosive martial technique to flee far away.
Hearing Xiao Yi's question, Wei Zhao sensed trouble. Damn—she seemed to have guessed why the Nineteenth-Stance Heaven-Rank technique, Tornado Heaven and Earth, had failed to kill him. It looked like he would get nothing more out of her. He would have to use the Heaven and Earth Net.
Sure enough, Xiao Yi gave a cold laugh and said no more. She brought her hands together, then spread them apart, preparing to unleash another Heaven-Rank technique. This time she would not use the Nineteenth Stance; in her view, the Fifteenth Stance alone would be more than enough to finish Wei Zhao.
