Chapter 3239 — A Successive Breakthrough
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Of course, only Wei Zhao would dare to use such a method of surpassing and breaking through himself. Any other cultivator would already be dead at this moment—and of what use would surpassing oneself be then? Only Wei Zhao himself could heal injuries of this kind; even the Great Restoration Pill would be of no use now.
Once his joy had passed, Wei Zhao swiftly circulated the third layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art and began rapidly repairing his damaged body, meridians, and bones. None of this posed any difficulty for Wei Zhao; there, on the concrete below the dormitory building, he sat down cross-legged in meditation.
Only, Wei Zhao being blasted out the window and down to the floor below gave the Bloody Garment Ancestor, the Yellow Springs Ancestor, and the Sinister Ancestor a tremendous fright.
Mother of heavens—just now they had been so intent on finishing off the Black Horse Association's Grand Elder in a single move that they had neglected Wei Zhao. If they had blasted Wei Zhao to death like that, then their own deaths would likely not be far behind! Could Lin Dongfang spare them? Could Yang Zhao spare them?
If either of those two came calling, all three of them would be in for a world of trouble.
"Quick, see how Master Wei Zhao is faring!" The Sinister Ancestor was the quickest to react. He could not even be bothered with the Black Horse Association's Grand Elder's corpse, and leapt straight down through the window, with the Bloody Garment Ancestor and the Yellow Springs Ancestor close on his heels.
They were just as anxious. They had come to curry favor, but now the favor had gone awry and they had curried Wei Zhao to death—what wretched luck.
Yet when the Sinister Ancestor saw Wei Zhao sitting in meditation below, breathing evenly, he heaved a great sigh of relief.
He could sense that Wei Zhao was circulating his mental cultivation formula, and that his strength was that of a freshly broken-through peak early Heaven Rank. By the look of it, Wei Zhao was going to be all right.
What the Sinister Ancestor could sense, the Bloody Garment Ancestor and the Yellow Springs Ancestor could naturally sense as well. So the three of them simply took up the role of Wei Zhao's guardians, settling down right beside him to wait for him to return from his meditative state to reality.
Though Wei Zhao was cultivating, he could also sense the arrival of the Sinister Ancestor and the other two—and that they had actually taken up guard for him. This surprised him greatly; he had thought they would leave once the killing was done. He had not expected them to be so loyal, so true to their word.
The healing speed of the third layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art was very swift. Though Wei Zhao's injuries were grave, he recovered quickly as well. Soon enough, Wei Zhao opened his eyes, rose to his feet, and clasped his hands toward the three ancestors seated beside him: "Many thanks to the three ancestors for standing guard."
"Ah, Master Wei Zhao, you're all right?" Seeing Wei Zhao standing before him hale and vigorous, the Sinister Ancestor heaved a sigh of relief, while in his heart he was filled with boundless admiration. Worthy indeed of Lin Dongfang's grandson and Master Yang Zhao's disciple—formidable beyond measure, to break through under such pressure and then heal himself besides!
Then again, when he thought about it, could the juniors those two held in such regard be anything less than extraordinary?
"Naturally I'm fine. And I must thank the three ancestors for giving me the chance to break through." Wei Zhao knew the three of them could surely tell that he had just broken through. Better to speak the truth than to hide it and let them grow suspicious. Of course, Wei Zhao did not know what the three of them were truly thinking. If Wei Zhao did not speak of it, would they dare ask?
