Chapter 2951 — The Rain One Appears
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Still, watching Shen Yushu being beaten before his very eyes was agony for Zhao Qilei.
Yet at that critical moment, a tremendous roar came ringing through!
"Roar, roar--" It was the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast. Sensing the danger at the villa's gate from the back courtyard, it cast aside all worry about being discovered and charged out with General Mighty, hurtling straight at Zhao Qibing, who was about to do violence to Shen Yushu!
The arrival of the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast and General Mighty let Wei Zhao breathe easy. Though he had known all along that his two spirit beasts could never stand idly by and would surely come to Shen Yushu's rescue, that had been mere conjecture after all; only when they truly appeared did Wei Zhao feel reassured!
Zhao Qilei breathed a sigh of relief as well, only then recalling that Wei Zhao still had reserves to play. Without these two spirit beasts, Shen Yushu would likely have been in grave danger today!
What neither Wei Zhao nor Zhao Qilei had anticipated, however, was that Zhao Qibing was not the least bit afraid. Instead, he burst out laughing!
"Heh! I knew you foolish spirit beasts would come!" Zhao Qibing sneered, and all at once swept out his hand, flinging a handful of powder at the two beasts racing toward him. "Did you think I'd dare kill Shen Yushu here without making any preparations?"
Struck by the powder Zhao Qibing threw, the two spirit beasts dropped straight to the ground and lay there senseless. It happened in the space of an instant, leaving everyone present dumbstruck!
Zhao Qibing had naturally come prepared. The medicinal powder in his hand had been supplied by Sect Master Wo of the Qianshan Sect; it could deal with any spirit beast below the earth rank. Any beast struck by the powder would fall into a deep sleep and wake naturally an hour later. It did the beasts no harm, but it could put them out cold for a time.
Such powder was scarce. Had it not been for the need to deal with Wei Zhao on this occasion, the Qianshan Sect would never have brought it out.
"Shen Yushu, let's see who can save you now! Your spirit beasts are finished, aren't they?" Zhao Qibing said smugly. "Now come and meet your death, quickly!"
"Damn! You little Zhao, getting full of yourself, are you? You think just because I hit you once, I won't dare hit you a second time?" At some point the black iron fine-steel rod had appeared in Shen Yushu's hands, and she raised it to swing at Zhao Qibing!
It turned out that the Thunder Pig, seeing from afar that things were going badly, had brought the black iron fine-steel rod to Shen Yushu!
"Hmph!" Zhao Qibing assumed Shen Yushu was only struggling in her death throes. In his view, a single punch of his landing on her carried far more force than her one swing of the rod; with luck he could kill her on the spot, and in that case she might not even manage to land the rod on him.
So Zhao Qibing did not dodge at all, but charged straight at Shen Yushu and smashed down at her.
"Bang!"
It was a tremendous crash, but it was not the sound of Zhao Qibing's fist striking Shen Yushu; it was the sound of Shen Yushu's black iron fine-steel rod smashing onto Zhao Qibing's head!
"Aah--" Zhao Qibing let out a miserable scream, his head split and streaming blood from Shen Yushu's blow. As for his fist, though it had landed on Shen Yushu, she had only staggered back two steps and seemed otherwise unharmed!
Zhao Qibing stared at Shen Yushu in disbelief. How was this possible? He had not used any martial technique, true, but a fist driven by early earth-rank true qi had struck her; even if she did not die, she should have been half crippled. How could she be completely unhurt?
Instead it was Zhao Qibing himself who had been beaten bloody about the head!
"Wah yah yah yah yah! Courting death!" Zhao Qibing was beside himself with rage. Baring fang and claw, he charged at Shen Yushu once more, bent on striking her down beneath his palms!
