Chapter 2875 — Trying to Steal the Technique
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Mine is called the Hellfire Frenzy Fist. It's different from your Hell Yin Demon Fist—they're two completely different martial arts techniques," Wei Zhao said.
"You think I'm an idiot? It's obvious to me you fabricated it based on my martial arts technique!" Zhang Naipao shook his head. "You're always lying to me. From now on I'll have to guard against you—I won't use any heaven-defying, overbearing martial arts techniques in front of you, or you might just steal them right out from under me."
"...You really do think highly of me." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. He hadn't expected that after Zhang Naipao regained his sanity from madness, his mind had actually gotten quite a bit sharper—figuring all this out wasn't easy.
Still, since Zhang Naipao had said as much, Wei Zhao couldn't very well keep peeking. Even if he watched, Zhang Naipao would find a way to hide it from him, so Wei Zhao simply stepped aside and stopped disturbing him. Instead, he asked casually, "If she doesn't circulate her mental cultivation formula, can you still draw out the Five Baleful Qi from her body?"
"Circulating the mental cultivation formula is for absorbing an internal-style cultivator's own true qi. This Five Baleful Qi isn't her own true qi, so I can absorb it directly," Zhang Naipao answered without hiding anything.
"Oh, I see." Wei Zhao nodded. "Then go ahead and absorb it. I'll step away for a bit."
"It's already done." Zhang Naipao had stood up and said to Wei Zhao, "She'll probably wake up in a little while."
"Good. Thank you for this." Though Wei Zhao and Zhang Naipao were enemies, Zhang Naipao had, after all, saved Yang Qiqi, so Wei Zhao still offered him a word of courtesy.
"No need for thanks—you saved me too, so we're even! Besides, the Five Baleful Qi from her body, once I absorbed it, actually healed quite a few of the injuries I'd suffered before." Zhang Naipao waved his hand. "You'd better start thinking about how we're going to get back."
Indeed, now that Yang Qiqi's Five Baleful Qi had been neutralized, the biggest problem was how to leave this place. Though Zhang Naipao had been unconscious earlier, he had also heard about the spirit beasts' suspension of their rest patterns, so he too was somewhat worried!
"Either we force our way through, or we look for the pattern again..." Wei Zhao said. "For now I don't have any better ideas. I can avoid the spirit beasts myself—as long as they're not Heaven Stage spirit beasts, it's no problem—but you two can't."
"Oh, right—who is this?" Zhang Naipao had no good plan for the moment either, so he turned to look at Tianchan. As for Wei Zhao's claim that he could evade the spirit beasts, he understood that too. Earlier, when Wei Zhao had been struck by the Hell Yin Demon Fist, he had miraculously dodged several spirit beast attacks, and Zhang Naipao had found it strange at the time; now, hearing Wei Zhao's explanation, he understood what was going on.
"My name is Tianchan. I was injured by accident in the Five Baleful Mountains, and Wei Zhao rescued me as well." Tianchan didn't say much to Zhang Naipao, just a simple self-introduction. She kept hidden her identity as the young sect master of the Xuandan Sect—it would have been fine to tell Zhang Naipao alone, but with Wei Zhao present, she didn't want to say it.RS
