Chapter 3170 — Two Who Died with Their Eyes Open
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
For Wei Zhao could plainly sense the ill-intentioned air about these two! They were nothing like the men of the Blood Garment Yellow Springs Sect from before—whether in their expressions or their cold, aloof manner, everything about them declared that they had come as enemies, not friends!
"You two pay a visit so late at night—is there some business you have?" Wei Zhao did not walk over to the door. The jade pendant had already given off a faint warning signal, and if he went nearer, it would likely warn him violently.
So Wei Zhao merely stood at the villa's entrance, watching Dongfang Yinxing and Ancestor Pure Yin beyond the iron gate from a distance.
Wei Zhao had already decided: at the first sign of trouble, he would run to the rear courtyard, mount the Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast, and flee. Shen Yushu's backing was the Five Luminaries Sect; surely these two would not dare lay hands on her, however formidable they might be. As for Xu Shilan, Wei Zhao could only pray the two of them would not go upstairs looking for anyone. Otherwise, he would have to circle back, waste the sole Heaven Net and Earth Web he possessed, and rescue Xu Shilan.
"You must be Wei Zhao?" Dongfang Yinxing was in no hurry to strike. He had to be certain, lest he kill the wrong man and make a mess of things—as had happened with Dongfang Song and the others, who had charged straight at the Dark Night Palace's inheritor and been finished off by that sect's Grand Elder.
"And you are?" Wei Zhao asked in return.
"Dongfang Yinxing!" Dongfang Yinxing declared with arrogant pride. "You killed several of my Dongfang family. Today, I shall make you pay blood for blood!"
"Dongfang Yinxing?" Wei Zhao frowned and turned to Ancestor Pure Yin. "And you? You aren't also of the Dongfang family, are you?"
"I am Ancestor Pure Yin. By the command of Ancestor Mad Dragon, I have come to take your life!" Ancestor Pure Yin offered no lengthy explanation, stating simply the purpose of this visit.
Both here to kill him? Wei Zhao drew a deep breath, and in the next instant turned to flee. He had no choice but to run—two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank, and he was no match for them at all. To say nothing of two, even one was more than he could handle!
"Open the gate and meet your death; I will grant you a quicker end," Dongfang Yinxing said. "Do not think of running. Against two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank, you cannot escape."
What to do? Wei Zhao hesitated a moment, then made to turn and flee. After all, if he did not run now, it would likely be too late!
Just as the tension reached its breaking point, not far away, Ancestor Blood Garment and Ancestor Yellow Springs exchanged a glance, then said in unison: "Go—leave not a single one alive!"
As they spoke, the two soared through the air to land behind Dongfang Yinxing and Ancestor Pure Yin. Ancestor Gloom, meanwhile, did not move—he was waiting for his chance.
Dongfang Yinxing and Ancestor Pure Yin were just about to strike and finish Wei Zhao when they suddenly sensed a wave of danger behind them. Both men's hearts clenched, and they whirled around to see two figures in black hurtling toward them!
Damn it, who in the hell were these people? Both were badly startled, for the aura of Ancestor Blood Garment and Ancestor Yellow Springs—the full, perfected power of the peak of the late Heaven Rank—was laid bare without the slightest concealment, and the two had no choice but to respond with utmost caution!
These two had reinforcements? Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing were aghast. Yet for all their bewilderment, they had no choice but to simultaneously draw Heaven Rank divine weapons to meet the assault—otherwise, faced with two cold-gleaming dark-iron swords, they would surely die!
