Chapter 2844 — No Chance Given
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Wei Zhao, you're actually unharmed?" Zhang Naipao looked at Wei Zhao in great puzzlement. He had never imagined that Wei Zhao could awaken himself.
"Unharmed. Are you terribly disappointed?" Wei Zhao glanced at Zhang Naipao indifferently, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
"Wei Zhao, you may have woken this time, but I don't believe your luck will hold every time. Even for Heaven Rank experts, self-awakening is a matter of chance—it's impossible to dodge it every single time!" Zhang Naipao said.
"Heh, is that so? Then can you dodge it?" Wei Zhao countered.
"Me? What do you mean?" Zhang Naipao was startled.
"Nothing..." Though Wei Zhao said so aloud, inwardly he was desperately recalling how Zhang Naipao had triggered the Infernal Yin Demon Fist earlier! Possessing the Myriad Martial Arts, Wei Zhao could modify and synthesize martial techniques himself, so ever since waking he had been replaying and imitating in his mind the way Zhang Naipao had unleashed the Infernal Yin Demon Fist!
That Thorns Divine Art of Zhang Naipao's was a passive martial technique and mental cultivation method, requiring no active triggering—so Wei Zhao could not imitate it even if he wanted to. Without the mental cultivation incantation, it was simply impossible to use.
But the Infernal Yin Demon Fist was different. Wei Zhao had clearly seen Zhang Naipao's hand gestures and triggering method, and had already simulated it in his mind to near perfection—he just did not know whether he could trigger it successfully on the first try.
"Wei Zhao, since you're none the worse for wear, let's call it a day. Neither of us can do anything to the other—let's call it a draw and settle it next time!" Though Zhang Naipao could still force out one more Infernal Yin Demon Fist, if Wei Zhao woke quickly again this time, killing him would be as easy as turning his palm. So Zhang Naipao hesitated, not quite daring to trigger the Infernal Yin Demon Fist; yet pitting the Thorns Divine Art against Wei Zhao in a contest of endurance would leave him outlasted. Thus he began to entertain thoughts of retreat.
"What? Afraid?" Wei Zhao asked mildly. "Where did all that ferocity from before go?"
"Wei Zhao, don't think I'm afraid of you. If not for wanting to save you for Brother Liang, I wouldn't have let you off so easily!" Zhang Naipao gave a cold snort.
"Is that so? You think you can fight when you want and stop when you want—is the Five Fiends Wildlands your backyard?" Wei Zhao saw through Zhang Naipao's bluster perfectly, but he had no intention of letting him off so easily. If the ghostly thing in the jade pendant had not pulled him back to reality in time just now, Wei Zhao would likely already be dead at the eight-legged lizard spirit beast's hands!
"Wei Zhao, don't push your luck. I refuse to believe you can wake up smoothly this time too!" Zhang Naipao's face twisted, and he began circulating his mental cultivation incantation, preparing to trigger the Infernal Yin Demon Fist once more!
But at that same moment, Wei Zhao had no intention of giving Zhang Naipao the chance!RS
