Chapter 3115 — Dongfang Ying Strikes Back for Revenge
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao frowned at once. It was true that he could kill a peak mid-stage Heaven-rank expert in a single blow—but that relied on a surprise attack while the other was off guard. Now this peak mid-stage Heaven-rank expert before him had gone all out from the very first moment and had even drawn his Heaven-rank divine weapons, which set Wei Zhao on edge as well. To claim he was confident would be boasting. So Wei Zhao shouted, "Vice President Ouyang, strike together—otherwise we both die today!"
Vice President Ouyang's expression changed at once. He too could see how fierce the man before them was. What he had said earlier had likely all been heard by Dongfang Ying. Though it was not he who had killed Dongfang Jian, Dongfang Ying clearly did not care—he took him for Wei Zhao's accomplice and meant to slay them together. After a moment's hesitation, Vice President Ouyang knew this day's affair could by no means end well. So he did not tarry either: reaching under his desk, he swept up a great saber that fell straight into his hand—this was his Heaven-rank divine weapon. The saber gave off a dim blue glow, clearly a weapon of the highest caliber; and since the heart-method incantation Vice President Ouyang cultivated was of the water element, and he had an elder who was the second honorary太上 president, what he held was certainly no poor thing.
Vice President Ouyang had only just drawn the blue saber when Dongfang Ying moved. His hands trembled slightly, and at once a "wu-wu" quavering note came from the steel tridents, as if borne up from the nine-fold underworld. A killing intent leaped forth, and that terrifying murderous aura, as though given substance by the sound, came surging toward Wei Zhao and Vice President Ouyang!
"Damn! Do not listen!" Wei Zhao's jade pendant suddenly sent out a violent warning signal, and Wei Zhao knew there was something wrong with the sound. He roared at Vice President Ouyang.
When Vice President Ouyang had heard the sound, his whole body had gone slightly slack, his eyes already somewhat vacant. Now, jolted awake by Wei Zhao's shout, he came to himself, and a slick of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The sound from the steel tridents was like a demonic melody, instantly bewitching Vice President Ouyang's mind—this was clearly a technique that could influence another's will. Had Wei Zhao not warned him, he would by now have been a ghost beneath Dongfang Ying's tridents!
Though this affair had been stirred up by Wei Zhao, and it was Wei Zhao who had killed Dongfang Jian, Vice President Ouyang was still grateful to him. After all, Dongfang Ying cared for none of that; in his eyes, Vice President Ouyang was likewise a participant, and would surely die as well!
"Hmph. A mere early-stage Heaven-rank, and you can see through my demonic melody—you have some skill! But with the strength of you two, to join hands and slay my elder brother is impossible. Tell me—who else was in league with you? I can grant you a swift end and spare you torment!" Dongfang Ying gave a cold snort and asked arrogantly.
"If you want to know, then first defeat us!" Wei Zhao gave Dongfang Ying no chance to speak further. The Fuxi Nine Needles in his hand shot out at Dongfang Ying. Dongfang Ying's face turned exceedingly ugly—he had not expected Wei Zhao to dare strike first and shatter his plan! Indeed, Dongfang Ying had said so much to Wei Zhao and Vice President Ouyang because he had a plan. He had cultivated a heart-method incantation that could hypnotize and bewitch another's mind, and he meant to hypnotize Wei Zhao and Vice President Ouyang and draw out the truth of his brother Dongfang Jian's death—but Wei Zhao had cut him short. How could he not be furious?
