Chapter 3126 — Another Misunderstanding

Wei Zhao rose to his feet, left the room, and walked toward the villa's front gate. Since they had come, he had no intention of letting them inside—Dongfang Buruo was a cultivator too, after all, and Wei Zhao feared he might do harm to Xu Shilan and Shen Yushu. Everyone knew what a lecher the boy was; even if he did nothing to them, having his lecherous eyes crawl over them would leave Wei Zhao thoroughly uncomfortable. "Young Master Buruo, once we grab Xu Shilan we leave—no more complications!" Dongfang Ying said to Dongfang Buruo after getting out of the car. "I know..." Dongfang Buruo was deeply irritated by Dongfang Ying's tone, but he also knew that so many had already died; a swift, decisive end was unquestionably the best approach. Still, he felt somewhat unwilling—the Dark Night Palace's Grand Elder had taken one female student away, and one remained. If he could get his hands on the other one along with Xu Shilan, nothing could be more delightful. But he could hardly say so aloud. "Hm... Hm?" Dongfang Ying was just about to step through the gate when he suddenly saw Wei Zhao standing at the villa's entrance, and gave a violent start. "It's you?! Young Master Buruo, run—I'll hold him off!" Dongfang Ying cried out instinctively. At the Cultivators' Guild he had learned firsthand just how formidable Wei Zhao was. He had fled in disarray back then; now, gravely wounded, his injuries shackled him and he could not bring out even a fraction of his strength. To say nothing of beating Wei Zhao—he could not even guarantee Dongfang Buruo's safety. So he hurriedly urged Dongfang Buruo to flee! Dongfang Buruo was briefly stunned, but he was no fool: if Dongfang Ying was telling him to run, there was surely danger. Without a thought for Dongfang Ying's life or death, he spun around and leaped into the car! Wei Zhao frowned. He had wanted to keep both Dongfang Ying and Dongfang Buruo here, but he had not expected Dongfang Ying to be so alert! Still, keeping one was good enough! "Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm, Ninth Form!" Seizing the moment when Dongfang Ying's attention wavered, Wei Zhao struck out with the ninth form of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm, and Dongfang Ying, his mind on Dongfang Buruo, had no time to defend himself. Wei Zhao's palm was already before him; he was startled and tried to dodge, but seeing that Dongfang Buruo's car had not yet started, he could only close his eyes in helpless resignation and take the blow head-on, buying time for Dongfang Buruo's escape! It had to be said that the Dongfang clan's people were remarkably loyal. Had he dodged, Wei Zhao would very likely have followed through and landed that same palm on the car just then starting up. And Dongfang Buruo would have died beyond any doubt! "Boom!" Dongfang Ying had already circulated his heart-method incantation and shielded himself with true qi, but he had never imagined that Wei Zhao's strike carried such power—it blasted him clean off his feet! Dongfang Ying's body shot out like a cannonball with a "whoosh," hurtling violently toward Dongfang Buruo's car, which had only just started! The force was immense; had he struck the car, it would surely have been overturned, and that was the last thing Dongfang Ying wanted to see. He had no choice. He could only dispel the true qi shielding his body and desperately use his own true qi to resist the force of Wei Zhao's blow. "Pfft!" Dongfang Ying's original injuries had not been fatal, but in that instant—though he had blunted the force of his flight—he also suffered severe internal injury. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his lips, and by the time he landed at the rear of Dongfang Buruo's car, he was breathing more out than in. Especially since he had abandoned his true-qi shield, the wound on his head had taken another extremely violent impact. Plainly, he would not survive! "Vroom! Vroom!" At the same moment, Dongfang Buruo started the car and vanished at top speed from the front of Wei
