Chapter 2795 — Breaking the Rules

"No—Young Hero Lin—!" Ge Xian seemed to have realized something and shouted to stop him, but it was already too late...
Yet Wei Zhao's Mad Fire Eight Trigrams Palm did not land on Zhang Naipao. He had chosen as his target one of Zhang Naipao's Heaven Rank mid-stage lackeys!
"Bang—!" With a tremendous crash, the Heaven Rank mid-stage lackey to the left behind Zhang Naipao was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground far across the dining hall. But who knew what materials the hall was decorated with—the floor was utterly unscathed!
Perhaps the Xuantan Sect had anticipated that these cultivators would come to blows here, and so had used special materials.
"Aagh—!" The left lackey gave a scream. His chest was instantly reduced to a bloody mess, caved in; after a single cry, his eyes rolled back and he fainted dead away...
Wei Zhao had not used his full strength. He had held back a few parts of it—a few parts for fleeing! In part he feared Zhang Naipao would strike, and in part he feared that killing the left lackey would violate the trial's rules.
But even though Wei Zhao had shown mercy and not killed the left lackey, the man was now a cripple. Clearly, even the Great Return Pill could not save him.
Wei Zhao's strikes now were no longer what they had been back in the Mystic Rank days. Feng Nitian had been saved by the Great Return Pill, but this left lackey was beyond saving.
"You... why did you hit him?" Zhang Naipao was both startled and furious. He had stood there to let Wei Zhao strike him, yet Wei Zhao had not hit him, and had instead gone for the lackey behind him. The lackey had not even understood what was happening before he was reduced to a wreck!
This was a Heaven Rank mid-stage expert—even the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect had only a handful of them! But what left Zhang Naipao even more aghast was that Wei Zhao could actually wound a Heaven Rank mid-stage expert. And with a single move?
Zhang Naipao's expression shifted darkly, uncertain. He wanted to strike here, yet he feared Wei Zhao's strength—especially since there were four others at Wei Zhao's table. Apart from Zhao Qilei, whom he knew, the other two were of unknown strength, and he dared not act rashly.
Birds of a feather flock together. If Wei Zhao could bring down a Heaven Rank mid-stage expert in one move, who could guarantee the people around him lacked the same ability? Zhang Naipao had never expected to be thwarted the moment he arrived at the Xuantan Sect trial!
And the one who had thwarted him was none other than Wei Zhao! How alike this was to the Ice Palace trial of old! Back then, it was he who had given Wei Zhao a show of force, reducing Wei Zhao to a ruined man; and now Wei Zhao had given him a show of force in return, crippling one of his Heaven Rank mid-stage lackeys!
Zhao Qilei was surprised too, but he had long known that Wei Zhao could slay Heaven Rank mid-stage experts in an instant, so his feeling now was merely excitement. Feng Shihua and Ge Xian were different, however—both knew something of Wei Zhao's strength, and to see that a late Earth Rank could cripple a Heaven Rank expert—what a feat that was!
