Chapter 3835 — Yielding the Way of His Own Accord
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Already badly frightened by Wei Zhao's sudden acceleration rushing at his face, and then assailed by such a chilling premonition of danger, Yu Jiang was scared witless. Even knowing that a single slight strike now would surely seal his opponent's death, he still instinctively chose to beat a hasty retreat!
Rather than seize the chance to delay Wei Zhao and wipe away his humiliation, Yu Jiang plainly valued his own life more. After all, if he died, everything was finished. As for Wei Zhao—it did not matter if he let him off for now; with Nan Tianyong on his heels, the boy could never escape!
Seeing Yu Jiang yield of his own accord, Wei Zhao could not help but chuckle. "Clearing the way for me voluntarily? Then I truly must thank you for sparing my life. Your great kindness and boundless virtue—I shall never forget them as long as I have teeth!"
As the words fell, Wei Zhao paid not the slightest attention to the fuming Yu Jiang, accelerated once more to sweep past him, and in the blink of an eye had left him far behind!
"Are you insane? With such a perfect opportunity, why in the hell would you clear the way for him?" Nan Tianyong, closing in fast, was so furious at the sight that his mouth nearly twisted out of shape.
Through the dense crowds, he had chased from the inner street entrance all the way to the market entrance, yet had failed to catch a mere peak early Foundation Establishment expert. Add to that the earlier face-to-face provocation from Wei Zhao in the inner street, and Nan Tianyong now had a whole bellyful of fire pent up.
Upon seeing Yu Jiang block the exit, Nan Tianyong had thought Wei Zhao was finally out of chances to escape death—only to find that this inescapable trap of a pincer attack had been inexplicably abandoned of his own accord by his own disciple!
Yu Jiang grimaced awkwardly but could not utter a word. After all, even if his instincts had warned of that extremely lethal danger, it was hard to justify being frightened off by a mere peak early Foundation Establishment expert when the situation was so overwhelmingly in their favor.
Fortunately, Nan Tianyong merely cursed once and then paid him no further attention, for he still had to chase the Wei Zhao ahead.
With such a perfect opportunity—master and disciple joining forces, a peak late Foundation Establishment expert and a mid Foundation Establishment expert—if Wei Zhao still escaped, they would truly have no place left to put their old faces.
Once out of the crowded market, with no more passersby in the way, Nan Tianyong's speed increased markedly. Even Wei Zhao, accelerated by the acupoint true qi technique, was far from his match.
Had he not been momentarily stunned by Yu Jiang's voluntary yielding of the way, Nan Tianyong might normally have caught Wei Zhao within three breaths. Even now, it would cost him at most twice the time—and then, with a single move, he would obliterate him!
In but a few short breaths, the market was left far behind by Wei Zhao. Given the peak speed of his Butterfly Microstep and Gale-Chasing Lightning Boots, plus the extreme acceleration of the acupoint true qi technique, Wei Zhao's speed at this moment was truly no joke—even a mid Foundation Establishment expert like Yu Jiang could only gaze after him helplessly.
