Chapter 3440 — Instant Kill One for Me to See

Song Lingwei, by contrast, looked even more excited, as though she was about to watch a fine show.
Led by Wei Zhao, the Song family arrived at the main gate, where Wei Zhao saw Kang Jingming standing with a stranger—and, at their side, three familiar faces.
The stranger Wei Zhao had never seen before, but judging by his attire, he was surely a disciple of the Five Luminaries Sect—though which rank, Wei Zhao could not say. As for the other three familiar faces, they made Wei Zhao frown.
They were actually from the Zhao family! Zhao Qibing, Zhao Guangyin, and Mian Huatang! What were the three of them doing here?
"Kang Jingming, so you really were just spinning me nonsense during the day—and now you bring men at night to wipe out me and the Song family?" Wei Zhao said coldly, looking at Kang Jingming.
"Ha, Wei Zhao, you still don't get it, do you?" Kang Jingming laughed heartily. "The reason I've come tonight is that the Five Luminaries Sect has entered into full cooperation with the overseas Fire Wolf Gang. Those four were men of the Fire Wolf Gang, and you had the Paoli clan kill them—so how could we possibly let you off? This time it isn't just you—the Song family is finished too, and that Song Lingwei, we'll be taking her with us! Right now, you can cry to heaven and heaven won't answer, cry to earth and earth won't respond. With no Paoli clan to save you, let's see what you'll do!"
"Are you finished?" Wei Zhao regarded Kang Jingming blandly. "Are you really so confident you can destroy me?"
"Naturally. Do you see this man? This is my second senior brother, a master at the peak of the late Heaven rank, in the Great Perfection stage!" Kang Jingming gestured to the little man beside him. "And if you think he's the only top-tier master at the peak of the late Heaven rank, you'd be badly mistaken—because there are more!"
"More?" Wei Zhao frowned and turned to look at the three Zhao family masters, for only those few had come—there was no one else. So the "more" Kang Jingming spoke of could only mean these three.
But Wei Zhao knew what their strength had been before—none of them had been much to speak of, and he had paid them little mind. Now, though, a single glance gave him a small shock! These three were also masters at the peak of the late Heaven rank, in the Great Perfection stage?
How was that possible? How could the strength of these three have risen so fast? If they were all Inheritors, Wei Zhao could believe it—but three ordinary cultivators of the Zhao family, stepping into the ranks of top-tier masters in such a short time? That was a bit too incredible.
Kang Jingming, however, had no idea Wei Zhao possessed such a cheat. Wei Zhao turned to him and smiled faintly. "What else? Go on."
"These three Zhao family masters are now masters of our Five Luminaries Sect as well—my personal guards and enforcers besides. Killing you will be child's play!" Kang Jingming looked at Wei Zhao smugly. "Now, I'll give you a chance: tell us—how did those four overseas masters die?"
"They just died, that's all," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"Hey, I see you won't take a toast but will take a forfeit!" Kang Jingming's expression changed. He had not expected Wei Zhao to remain so utterly at ease before four masters at the peak of the late Heaven rank in the Great Perfection stage. Instantly displeased, he said, "Second senior brother, teach him a profound lesson! Let him know who's in charge here! Didn't you want to avenge our eldest senior brother? He's the one who got him killed!"
"Wei Zhao, is it? I've heard of you for a long time," the little man said coolly. "You couldn't beat him yourself, so you had others trap and murder our eldest senior brother—truly despicable and shameless! I've long wanted to settle accounts with you!"
"Heh. You mean Kang Jingming? Couldn't beat me himself, so he rounded up a whole crowd?" Wei Zhao smiled faintly, utterly unperturbed.
