Chapter 2874 — Accepting the Condition

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then it..." Standing before this mass of ghost-thing, Tianchan felt an unmistakable pressure. For some reason, even when facing the Five Baleful Dragon, she had never felt such overwhelming oppression.
"Zhang Naipao! Wake up!" the ghost-thing suddenly bellowed, startling both Wei Zhao and Tianchan.
"Ah!" With a hoarse cry, Zhang Naipao's previously dull eyes turned clear in that instant. He raised his head in bewilderment, looked at Wei Zhao, then at Tianchan and the ghost-thing that had just awakened him, and slowly began to recall what had happened during this time...
Like Wei Zhao, once lucid, he still remembered everything from his peak. Zhang Naipao now knew that Wei Zhao had driven him to his peak, and that Wei Zhao had also found him and healed him. Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a deep sense of defeat...
Originally, he had come to the Five Baleful Wasteland full of vigor, armed with his unique skills, eager to show his prowess and strike a blow at Wei Zhao. But he had never imagined that in the end, it was he who would be struck down! How had his unique skill suddenly been learned by Wei Zhao?
And that was not all. After being hit by this skill, he himself could not undo it, yet Wei Zhao could neutralize it with ease and even summon a helper to undo it for him. Wasn't that utterly absurd?
Moreover, though he was an expert of the early Heaven rank and Wei Zhao only of the late Earth rank, there was no comparing their true strength. Zhang Naipao finally realized how insignificant he was before Wei Zhao—like a clown capering on a stage.
Every time, he arrived in high spirits and left in disappointment. His own strength had grown, but so had Wei Zhao's—and grown in ways he could neither withstand nor fathom...
With just the Hellfire Frenzy Fist alone, Zhang Naipao was already powerless to fight back...
"Why did you save me?" Though Zhang Naipao now remembered what had happened around him while he was lucid, he had not heard Wei Zhao and Tianchan's conversation in detail, nor did he dwell on it. What occupied his mind now was this: Wei Zhao could clearly have finished him off—so why had he instead saved him? What did that mean?
"Help me draw the Five Baleful Qi out of her body, and we'll call this matter settled. Once we're out of here, our paths part and the bridge stands between us." Wei Zhao pointed at Yang Qiqi on the ground and spoke to Zhang Naipao.
"So you wanted something from me after all. I was wondering why you woke me up." One glance at Yang Qiqi and Zhang Naipao thought of the Five Baleful Qi. And since he knew the Bee-God Absorption Art, he could naturally absorb and neutralize the Five Baleful Qi.
"Cut the nonsense. Will you save her or not?" Wei Zhao asked.
