Chapter 4605 — Long Time No See!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"From today on, every last one of you will be a cripple. Enjoy your lives as cripples in utter darkness, hahahaha!" Amid Ma Dangfeng's arrogant, triumphant laughter, the floorboards beneath him suddenly split open without warning into five fissures. With a sharp, ear-piercing shriek, they spread toward the feet of Lu Bianren and the others.
Though the five fissures ran in the same direction, each pointed toward a different person. Lu Bianren and the other four instantly turned pale, as if facing a great enemy. Last time they fought Ma Dangfeng, it was this move that had cost them dearly. Once the knife was out of the sheath and the sharp spikes burst forth, they would be finished!
None of them knew exactly what this move was called, but Ma Dangfeng's technique was truly formidable—even a Golden Core expert could not withstand such an attack, let alone the rest of them, who aside from Lu Bianren were all merely Foundation Establishment. The gap in strength was too vast. Even if they wanted to defend, there was simply no way.
Ma Dangfeng watched the scene with a savage grin. The backbone and daring of Lu Bianren and the others were truly no small thing—but before absolute power, it was all just a joke. Let him turn these fools into cripples first, and see whether they would still be so stubborn with their dead-duck beaks!
The fissures spread with incredible speed. Before Lu Bianren and the others could react in any way, the five fissures—each a path to lethal danger—had already reached their feet. What followed would be a repeat of last time: once struck by the sharp spikes that came after, even those lucky enough to survive would be left half-crippled. The wound on Poor Senior Brother's thigh still throbbed faintly to this day!
At a moment like this, whoever stood in Lu Bianren and the others' shoes would be lying if they said they were not nervous. After all, their lives were at stake. If they could successfully dodge, they would still have a chance to face the opponent's next assault; but if they failed, this life would end here.
Poor Senior Brother's face went deathly pale in an instant, his mind a complete blank. All he could do now was squeeze his eyes shut. He had already prepared himself to meet death with dignity—yet after waiting a moment, that sharp spike that had appeared in his nightmares countless times still did not come.
"How can this be..." Poor Senior Brother opened his eyes, half startled and half doubtful, only to find that although the fissure in the ground was still there, it now carried not the slightest ripple of true qi, nor any terrifying killing intent or attack.
It was not just him—Lu Bianren and the others all wore expressions of astonishment. Following their incredulous gazes, they saw that three paces ahead, a figure had appeared out of nowhere. It was a back that looked very familiar. Ever since this person suddenly appeared, Ma Dangfeng's ferocious sharp spikes had somehow dissipated into thin air, as if they had never existed at all.
"A year and a half, and everyone is still in good health, I hope?" When the figure smiled and turned around, the eyes of Lu Bianren and the whole group instantly went red. This person was none other than Wei Zhao.
Everyone was struck dumb on the spot, unable to speak a word for a long while. They had risked their lives to tear off all pretenses with Ma Dangfeng, set aside everything on the North Island, and resolved to travel thousands of miles to the South Island to brave its dangers—all to find Wei Zhao. Yet they had never imagined that Wei Zhao would suddenly appear at this very moment! (To be continued.)
