Chapter 4576 — Truly Unafraid to Die?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
They could not simply watch Qiao Hongcai be killed by Ma Dangfeng. And if they could not stop him, then they could only choose to send Ma Dangfeng to the grave with him—to avenge Qiao Hongcai! Otherwise, how could they ever face Wei Zhao again?
Killing intent surged abruptly from all four as they launched a simultaneous assault from four directions.
"Hmph. Worthless dogs—and you dare run wild before me?!" Ma Dangfeng did not even glance at the four. His gaze upon Qiao Hongcai beneath his foot grew ever more savage, as though Lu Bianren and the other three truly did not merit his notice—not even worth a second look.
Seeing Ma Dangfeng so utterly unruffled, Lu Bianren and the others felt not relief but dread. Without hesitation, each unleashed their strongest killing move. That the enemy should be so careless and contemptuous was, to be sure, a great boon for the four of them—but was it really?
And what happened next explained precisely why Ma Dangfeng held them in such contempt. There was no other reason: the gap in strength between them was simply too vast—they were not on the same level at all.
Just as he had dealt with Qiao Hongcai before, four fissures suddenly burst from beneath Ma Dangfeng's feet, racing at a speed the eye could scarcely follow to the ground beneath Lu Bianren and the other three. This time, however, the intent was not to trap them—from within the seams, a savage spike of concentrated force shot skyward, and the four had not even a moment to react!
Nothing is indestructible; only speed is unbreakable. Yet these four spikes deployed against Lu Bianren and the others were formed of extremely condensed true qi, possessing both terrifying hardness and horrifying speed. This was a method born purely for killing—utterly covert and sudden, and devastatingly effective!
Without exception, all four were struck simultaneously. Though they failed to dodge in time, fortunately Lu Bianren, Xiao Che, and Li Zhengming were no ordinary men.
Though their strength was far inferior, their reflexes were quick enough. Struck by the spikes, they at least managed to avoid their vital points—but each had a great chunk of flesh scraped away, blood streaming, a sight to make the heart quail!
By comparison, the Bitter Senior Brother, far less gifted, had no such luck. Amid a hoarse, gut-wrenching scream, a spike pierced clean through his right thigh without the slightest resistance, hoisting his whole body aloft—blood spraying as he hung upside down in midair.
The agony made him struggle; the struggling drove the spike deeper; and the deeper it went, the worse the pain. Everyone present was frozen in horror at the sight, even their own wounds forgotten. The spike was sharp at the top and broad at the base—if the Bitter Senior Brother kept thrashing, the hole through his thigh would only gape wider, until at last the entire right leg would tear clean off!
"Bitter Senior Brother!" Qiao Hongcai, pinned beneath Ma Dangfeng's foot, felt his eyes nearly split with rage at the sight! (To be continued..) R527
