Chapter 3440 — Instant Kill One for Me to See
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Song Lingwei, standing to one side, stared at Wei Zhao in great astonishment! The first time Kang Jingming had called Wei Zhao's name, she had thought she misheard and taken it for Ling Yi—but this time she was certain the little man had said Wei Zhao! Not Ling Yi!
This man was Wei Zhao?! Then wasn't he the very person she was supposed to kill? How could that be?
True, the names Ling Yi and Wei Zhao sounded somewhat alike, but Song Lingwei had not thought much of it—after all, it was like a Chinese person hearing a foreign name; many similar sounds all seemed about the same. And Song Lingwei had grown up overseas, so naturally it was the same for her: she assumed there were many people in China with the same names or similar-sounding names, and so she had not given it much thought at first.
Now, thinking it over carefully, and recalling the strange expression on her sister Qiu Lingshan's face when she heard the name Wei Zhao, she finally understood: this Ling Yi was Wei Zhao—the man she was to assassinate, and her brother-in-law!
At the thought of this possibility, Song Lingwei's spirits instantly sank, and a chill of fear followed! If this man had not been her brother-in-law, and she had rashly gone to strike at him, wouldn't she have been beaten to death? Had she not seen how wretchedly those four Fire Wolf war gods died?
Song Lingwei sighed. Thank goodness she hadn't acted recklessly—otherwise she'd have died without even knowing how.
"Enough of that useless talk!" Kang Jingming, his sore spot touched, was instantly displeased. "Look—these Zhao family masters you once trampled underfoot are ruthless men now! Soon enough, you'll be the one crying!"
Wei Zhao swept a glance over the Zhao family masters, his gaze growing cold. "Zhao Qibing. Long time no see—still strutting about?"
"Heh heh, Wei Zhao, winners become kings and losers become bandits—I, Zhao Qibing, have finally risen! Not just you, but Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu too—the humiliation and injury they heaped on me, I will surely take back! After you die, they'll follow in your footsteps!" Zhao Qibing had finally gotten his chance, and so he began to shout maniacally.
"Is that so? Then don't regret it later," Wei Zhao said blandly. "Choose to oppose me, and there's no good end waiting. Don't think that just because you're a master at the peak of the late Heaven rank in the Great Perfection stage, you're safe—you know as well as I do that my specialty is instant-killing across ranks!"
"Instant kill?" Zhao Qibing's expression shifted slightly as certain memories came back to him, but he quickly steadied himself. "Hmph, instant-kill a master at the peak of the late Heaven rank in the Great Perfection stage? What a colossal joke! If you've got the ability, instant-kill one for me to see!"
"If I instant-kill you, how will you be able to see anything?" Wei Zhao looked at Zhao Qibing mockingly.
"Cut the nonsense—since you can instant-kill, then instant-kill me first! Take this!" The little man's hands shook, and an ink-black staff appeared in his grasp. It was his Heaven-rank divine weapon, able to channel true qi into unleashing a great technique, pushing the power of the twentieth form of martial skill to its utmost limit. Even if it could not kill Wei Zhao outright, it would cripple him! RP
