Aside from the Heaven-Rank freak... That was it! Could the "old madman" they spoke of be the Heaven-Rank freak? And at the thought of the Heaven-Rank freak, Wei Zhao abruptly recalled two men connected with him—Old Six and Old Twelve!
By the look of it, these two must be men of the Five Luminaries Sect, subordinates of Patriarch Xuanchen, fellow disciples of the former Little One and Little Eleven. Could it be that they had found the Heaven-Rank freak and were now besieging him?
The last time, in the Ulanhot Mountains, Wei Zhao had only escaped Old Twelve's pursuit by a hair thanks to his Heaven and Earth Net. Back then, Old Twelve, an expert at the peak of the early Heaven Rank, had seemed to Wei Zhao so lofty and unattainable!
But now Wei Zhao was himself an expert of the early Heaven Rank, and facing Old Twelve again, he would by no means be so wretchedly outmatched.
At the thought that the man they were besieging might be the Heaven-Rank freak, Wei Zhao hesitated no longer and dashed over in a few swift strides!
When Wei Zhao drew near and looked, his guess had indeed been right—the three before him were none other than the Heaven-Rank freak, Old Six, and Old Twelve!
The divine weapon in the Heaven-Rank freak's hands had changed from the black wrought-iron staff of last time to a pair of massive battle-axes, which he swung with a fierce and mighty flourish. What surprised Wei Zhao was that this time the Heaven-Rank freak did not seem mad at all, for he wielded the axes with considerable method, drawing out their utmost power!
Over there, Old Six and Old Twelve, two against one, had no advantage at all beneath the axes' twin onslaught—indeed, they were getting the worst of it!
Yet Wei Zhao could also see that though they two against one were losing ground, it was still impossible for the Heaven-Rank freak to finish off Old Six and Old Twelve. The two were only slightly inferior, and they worked together with incomparable默契—whenever one fell into danger, the other would swiftly step in to shield him—and so the Heaven-Rank freak's attacks failed again and again.
At the very least, Old Six and Old Twelve should have no great trouble holding out for three or five days; in the end, when both sides had likely spent their physical strength and true qi, they would simply disperse.
Toward the men of the Five Luminaries Sect, Wei Zhao was filled with hatred; Old Six and Old Twelve were his enemies as well. Though the hatred was not as great as that he bore Little One and Little Eleven, still—for having been chased like a beaten dog by Old Twelve—Wei Zhao meant to have his revenge!
At this thought, Wei Zhao cried out: "Master, I've come to help you!" and charged forward.
Wei Zhao was now an expert of the early Heaven Rank, and having only just arrived nearby, he had concealed his strength; neither the Heaven-Rank freak nor Old Six nor Old Twelve had noticed his coming. But Wei Zhao's shout gave them a start!
"Wei Zhao?!" Old Six and Old Twelve were alarmed and hastily raised their heads to look his way, recognizing him at once!
And in the hearts of Old Six and Old Twelve arose the same thought at once: that today's tide had turned against them. The two of them were already hard pressed to deal with the Heaven-Rank freak; add Wei Zhao to make more trouble, and they would likely fall prey to the Heaven-Rank freak's schemes!
Of course, in their eyes they had not the slightest regard for Wei Zhao's strength, for back in the Ulanhot Mountains Wei Zhao had been good only for running. And when Little One returned, he had said that he had beaten Wei Zhao like a dead dog—had White Leader not stepped in, Wei Zhao would long since have been dead and buried! RS
