Chapter 4266 — Equal Shares for Those Who See It
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
Two mere ants at the early Golden Core stage, yet when they joined hands they could unleash such a fierce martial technique—enough to rival the full-force strike of a peak late-stage Golden Core expert!
And though this gray-robed man possessed the strength of an Nascent Soul expert, he had just been far too careless and arrogant, which was why he had been reduced to such a sorry state, forced into a draw by two early Golden Core juniors. Even if it had taken only that one exchange, it was humiliating enough.
The gray-robed man's face instantly darkened like water, and his qi and blood surged within him. Only then did he realize that, caught off guard as he had been, he had actually taken a slight injury—truly the very picture of wretchedness.
"Hmph, you two do have some tricks after all. Two early Golden Core cultivators who can trade these two palms with me—you have every right to be proud." The gray-robed man did not strike again, but stood ten zhang away and laughed coldly. "What a pity—this is as far as you go. In all the world, there has never been an Golden Core expert who survived my Sundering Essence Palm. You two are worthy of praise, but unfortunately you still cannot escape death. Hahahaha!"
"Oh? You are that confident?" Wei Zhao remained sitting on the ground. He and Huang Xiaotao did indeed look rather worse for wear at the moment, but hearing the gray-robed man's words, he still raised an eyebrow and asked mildly in return.
"Confident? Hmph, this is not confidence—it is mere common sense. I will not deny that your combined palm technique is impressive in its power, but unfortunately it is ultimately crude and shallow—nothing more than a low-grade palm art that flails about wildly!" The gray-robed man sneered with confidence. "Even if you can block my Sundering Essence Palm on the surface, what can the likes of you use to withstand the damage to the primordial spirit? Your primordial spirits have clearly been gravely wounded, yet you force yourselves to put on a show before me. I want to see how long you can keep it up. Hahahaha!"
"Gravely wounded primordial spirits?" Wei Zhao could not help but laugh at this, looking at the gray-robed man as though at an idiot. "There is a limit to self-deception, is there not? Which of your eyes saw that our primordial spirits have been gravely wounded?"
Before the other could answer, Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao had already risen hand in hand. Both wore relaxed expressions—to say nothing of wounded primordial spirits, they did not even seem to have ordinary physical injuries. They looked entirely as if nothing had happened.
"H-how… how is that possible?!" The gray-robed man was struck dumb on the spot, so stunned that for a moment he could not even speak coherently.
He had absolute confidence in his Sundering Essence Palm. Even if he had been careless just now and had not struck with his full strength, he should at least have been able to wound the other's primordial spirit—so how could they be completely unharmed? Was his eyesight failing him?
What he did not know was that an ordinary Golden Core expert truly could not withstand his Sundering Essence Palm. Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao could not withstand it either—but unfortunately for him, Wei Zhao had an invisible helper by the name of Ghost Thing!
When it came to manipulating the primordial spirit, Ghost Thing considered himself second in the world, and likely no one would dare claim first. This was a true grandmaster; even if his opponent was an Nascent Soul expert skilled in such arts, how could the other possibly compare with Ghost Thing in this regard?
That bit of divine-sense attack the gray-robed man had mixed into his Sundering Essence Palm—Ghost Thing had dissolved it silently and formlessly, with such skill and subtlety that the man could not detect it at all.
