Chapter 3518 — Wei Zhao Is Ruthless Too
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Zhong Yongliang was beside himself with frustration. What the hell was this? The Five-Shas Dragon did not look especially clever, so how could it tell that the oppressive might came from him? And even granting that it did, Wei Zhao had stabbed it a moment ago—should it not go take revenge on Wei Zhao, who was closest? Instead it lunged at Zhong Yongliang some distance away. Truly baffling!
But there was nothing Zhong Yongliang could do. Where was he supposed to go to reason with anyone? There was no place to appeal at all! Moreover, he did not dare keep using the Wild Dragon Divine Art. Though the art worked on any expert below heaven-tier grand completion, and its effect on the Five-Shas Dragon was hardly weak either, circulating it drained his physical strength and true qi enormously. If he kept it up, he would soon exhaust both!
And what then, once it was spent? Would he not still be attacked by the Five-Shas Dragon? With no physical strength or true qi left, he would not even be able to run!
The oppressive might of the Wild Dragon Divine Art existed so that one could strike while the foe was suppressed. But what use was striking when even the Five-Shas Dragon was suppressed? Who could do anything to it? Had they not seen that Wei Zhao, hailed as the foremost man under the heavenly dao, had spent every ounce of his strength only to open a tiny wound?
This Five-Shas Dragon simply could not be dealt with—the ancient patriarch Xuanchen had warned as much back then! And since it could not be dealt with, what use was the oppressive might?
Now Zhang Naipao was crippled as well. Had he not been, Zhong Yongliang could still have had him try circulating the Bee-Devouring Divine Art to drain all the physical strength and true qi from the Five-Shas Dragon's body, degrading it below the yellow tier.
But Zhang Naipao could no longer be put to the test; Zhong Yongliang was left to fight alone.
"Assistant Kang, send someone to cover me, quick!" Zhong Yongliang was drenched in cold sweat from fright. He did not have Wei Zhao's exquisite footwork. Watching Wei Zhao toy with the Five-Shas Dragon had seemed like a joke, but with him in that position, it was peril at every turn—one moment's carelessness and the Five-Shas Dragon's claw would swat him flat!
Kang Jingming was indecisive too, unsure whether he should step in and help Zhong Yongliang, because things had now departed from their earlier plan. They had meant for the Five-Shas Dragon to deal with Wei Zhao, but now it had abandoned Wei Zhao and was fixated solely on Zhong Yongliang.
As matters stood, if they helped, it would amount to everyone fighting it together, and killing Wei Zhao would become well-nigh impossible.
"Wei Zhao, why aren't you helping? Are you thinking of loafing on the job?" Kang Jingming rolled his eyes and shouted at Wei Zhao.
"I have been putting in effort all along. Now I'm rather worn out and need a short rest," Wei Zhao said mildly.
"If you don't make a move, I'll treat it as your refusal to follow deployment," Kang Jingming said.
"Oh? All right, then I'll give it a try!" Wei Zhao nodded, sneering inwardly. You brought this on yourself. Originally I had no intention of going after Little Eleven in this trial—after all, everyone was united against the Five-Shas Dragon.
Had Wei Zhao targeted Little Eleven alone, it would have been far too obvious. But now it seemed Wei Zhao no longer intended to spare Little Eleven either. Since Kang Jingming had shown no benevolence, he could hardly blame Wei Zhao for showing no righteousness!
Wei Zhao stood up and ran toward the Five-Shas Dragon, then condensed his true qi into sound and said to it: "In a moment, go after that woman beside Kang Jingming. Make a fool of her for a while, then toss her in front of Han Jingyi—the girl standing over there in the little black blazer."
