Chapter 3711 — Are You Messing with Me on Purpose?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Unfortunately for them, their target was Wei Zhao, not only an early Foundation Establishment expert at the peak of the stage who had concealed his true strength, but also a formidable man who possessed the jade pendant's space and whose will was extraordinarily tenacious. Twice the pressure was enough to crush any newcomer present, yet it could do nothing to Wei Zhao.
The doubled pressure had begun to make Wei Zhao feel somewhat strained, but that was all. Given his current mental condition, combined with the true qi replenishment from the jade pendant's space, he could have endured this level for another two incense sticks without the slightest problem.
Wei Zhao's unchanging calm left several Enforcement Hall experts staring in bewilderment. Below the stage, Xu Lingchong continued to signal them urgently, urging them to hurry and deal with Wei Zhao. Little did he know that they had already made their move. It simply had not shown any effect on Wei Zhao.
This kid really does have some ability. A newcomer who came up from the secular world can actually withstand pressure of this intensity without changing expression. No wonder even a young master like Xu Lingchong is taking special aim at him!
The Enforcement Hall experts were secretly alarmed. But this was something Xu Lingchong had ordered, and there was no chance they would simply stop. After exchanging a tacit glance, they joined forces to raise the oppressive force around Wei Zhao once more, taking it directly to three times its original intensity!
For a moment, the pressure weighing on Wei Zhao grew several degrees heavier. At last, he began to feel some mental fatigue, and the true qi circulating through his Xuanyuan Dragonmaster Art also became somewhat sluggish. Still, the problem was not too serious. At least it had not yet entered a vicious cycle, and he could continue holding on.
Wei Zhao had yet to encounter any real trouble. Instead, Meng Zhou, not far away, was the first to suffer.
One had to understand that the Enforcement Hall's oppressive-force formation was a naturally integrated whole, including all the surrounding pavilion buildings. Even if the several Enforcement Hall experts could join forces to adjust the pressure in a particular area, they could not focus it with absolute precision on a single person. Those nearby were bound to be affected as well.
In other words, while releasing three times the pressure above Wei Zhao's head, they had also dragged Meng Zhou, who was not far away, into the disaster. The pressure descending upon him was not quite as outrageous as three times the original, but it was still twice as strong!
Twice the pressure was nothing to Wei Zhao, but upon Meng Zhou, it was lethal!
One must not forget that although he was an early Foundation Establishment expert, he had only broken through the day before by relying on the effects of a Foundation Establishment Pill and Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. He was a genuine newcomer at the early Foundation Establishment stage.
Compared with the other experts at the peak of the Heavenly Stage, he naturally possessed ample confidence. But among those at the same early Foundation Establishment level, he was nothing more than a weakling and a complete novice.
Pfft! Meng Zhou had already been struggling. When the pressure upon him suddenly doubled, he was caught off guard and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
The sight instantly drew a chorus of gasps from the other newcomers below. He was the first newcomer that day to be forced into spitting blood, and he was even Meng Zhou, one of the four early Foundation Establishment experts. It was truly unexpected.
After spitting blood, Meng Zhou dared not remain onstage any longer. He hurriedly stumbled down, terrified that he might lose his life up there.
