Chapter 4177 — One Move, Instant Kill
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
To have successfully formed a Golden Core at twenty—this brat Wei Zhao was far too great a threat. If he was not eliminated today, there would be no end of trouble to come!
For a time, no one below the stage dared even to breathe too loudly. Miserable Senior Brother and the others were so tense they trembled in secret, and Shangguan Lan'er even tugged at Shangguan Tianxia, signaling that he could step in and save Wei Zhao now.
In their eyes, Wei Zhao was indeed an early Golden Core expert, but Su Zhaohe had not earned his fame for nothing either; this appointed duel today was still exceedingly dangerous.
Only Shangguan Tianxia, watching with perfect clarity, remained calm and composed. This little fellow Wei Zhao was the strongest Golden Core expert, one who had broken through in perfect form—would he lose to a Su Zhaohe of the same rank? Don't be ridiculous!
Annihilation! The instant Su Zhaohe's eyes blazed, he drew the Heaven-Shrouding Net closed, and countless strands of true qi that could shear through gold and cleave iron descended straight toward Wei Zhao's crown from every direction, leaving him nowhere to flee.
Yet Wei Zhao remained unhurried. At the final moment, as the Heaven-Shrouding Net closed in, his figure suddenly stirred, and he lashed a single Frenzied Fire Thousand Kicks straight at empty air.
Boom! Su Zhaohe's bedraggled figure abruptly appeared upon Wei Zhao's leg, and was then blasted backward like a cannonball, punching through stone walls dozens of meters thick and burying itself deep beneath the stands!
As for the deadly net that had surrounded him, in the wake of that astonishing kick it vanished into nothing, as though it had never existed at all.
So sudden was the scene that the whole crowd was left with their jaws hanging open. They craned their necks one after another to peer down into the deep pit, where Su Zhaohe now lay with his eyes rolled white, bloodshot eyes still staring fixedly, bubbling blood at his lips, unable to move—clearly breathing out far more than he drew in.
"One move! Instant kill!" After the entire hall had stood in dead silence for a long while, someone—no one knew who—cried out those words. Only then did the crowd come to its senses, and in an instant the place erupted in an uproar of endless discussion.
The number one newcomer truly lived up to his name. He had never been some posturing show-off at all; he genuinely possessed this crushing level of strength. Both were early Golden Core experts, yet a man like Su Zhaohe, who had been praised to the skies, could not withstand even a single move before him. What kind of monster was this!
And yet, when Wei Zhao finally spoke in a faint voice, the clamorous hall fell silent of its own accord. At this moment, he was the sole protagonist here.
"I could have spared you, but I have a friend named Huang Xiaotao..." Wei Zhao said lightly toward the deep pit, and Su Zhaohe, who had clung to his last breath, stiffened abruptly at those words; after a helpless, despairing convulsion, he died on the spot—dead beyond any doubt!
"He really did it for me..." Huang Xiaotao, up in the stands, was moved to tears at once. That Wei Zhao could kill Su Zhaohe in a single move naturally delighted her, but that final sentence, as she heard it, was more precious by far than the instant kill itself!
"Sister Xiaotao, do you like our little junior brother?" Shangguan Lan'er, herself still steeped in delight, looked at Huang Xiaotao with some puzzlement and suddenly asked.
"Ah? I... I..." The question came too suddenly, and Huang Xiaotao immediately began to stammer, not knowing how she should answer.
"Haha, so that's how it is. Then shall your junior sister play matchmaker for you?" Shangguan Lan'er could not help laughing, and on a sudden impulse made the suggestion.
