Chapter 4417 — The Situation Settled
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The others had no idea what that meant and were still puzzling over it when they saw the four from Qingtian on the field suddenly switch their target as one—from the enemy's weakest, the late Golden Core, to the enemy's strongest, the peak of late Golden Core!
"Haha, I've never seen such fools. I was going to let only two of you die—now I'll wipe you out entirely!" The Yongxing woman chief escort laughed in triumph. They could not even break through the weakest late Golden Core, yet they meant to go after the strongest, the peak of late Golden Core—if that was not courting death, what was?
Yet no sooner had the woman's laughter risen than it broke off short, like a duck suddenly seized by the neck—indescribably comical.
But no one present felt the slightest urge to laugh. Every one of them gaped, jaws hanging open for a long while, because on the field at that moment, the strongest of Yongxing's men—that peak late Golden Core—had truly been cut down in a single exchange by the four from Qingtian striking together!
That sight stunned everyone—even the four from Qingtian, who had done it, found it hard to believe.
A moment ago they could not even break through the weakest late Golden Core, and in that instant the enemy had shown not the least sign of underestimating them or holding back—still the same arrogant, overbearing Blazing City. So why was it, once they switched their target to the strongest, the peak of late Golden Core, that it all became so effortless?
They had thought at least two of them would die—but now, not one of the four had fallen; they were merely wounded.
"How did you see it?" Steward Song had at some point come to stand behind Wei Zhao.
"Simple. Their Blazing City depends on the rapport between them. That late Golden Core looks weakest on paper, but his coordination with the others is the tightest, which makes him the hardest to break. The one who looks strongest on paper, that peak late Golden Core, is exactly the opposite—so he is the best point to break through." Wei Zhao smiled faintly.
Since he had styled himself the on-the-spot coach, he naturally had to fulfill a coach's duty. Never mind that he merely stood at the sidelines doing nothing—in truth he had been watching for the enemy's flaw all along.
While the enemy had not taken the initiative to attack, that flaw had not been very obvious. But now—well, it was a fly on a bald man's head: plain as day.
Watching her own man fall before her eyes, the Yongxing woman chief escort turned ashen. Blazing City was a four-man combined strike; lose any one of them and it could not be deployed. Now they were finished.
"Young Hero Ling, truly brilliant—this old man is in awe," Steward Song said with wholehearted admiration. With matters having come this far, anyone could see the outcome was settled: Yongxing had lost a man, their combined strike was broken, and the four from Qingtian had taken advantage to seize the escort goods—their cause was lost.
"Ha, Steward Song flatters me. I merely rather enjoy the look on certain people's faces when they eat shit." Wei Zhao smiled and cast a meaningful glance at the arrogant, overbearing woman chief escort.
The eyes of the onlookers immediately turned speculative. A moment ago this woman chief escort had publicly declared that if she could not beat the Qingtian Escort Agency she would eat shit—and no one knew whether she would keep her word...(To be continued..) R527
