Chapter 4726 — Wei Zhao in Peril
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
If Huo Yudie really had been following right beside Wei Zhao just now, forget dealing with Xu Lingchong—she herself would probably have been half blown to death first. Then Wei Zhao would have had to divert his attention to look after her, leaving him no chance to focus on dealing with Kang Jingming.
"Wei Zhao! Wei Zhao! Don't die!" Huo Yudie stared helplessly at the frightening bloody hole in Wei Zhao's abdomen, watching him sink into deep unconsciousness. His breathing grew fainter and fainter, and at last his remaining vital signs seemed about to vanish entirely—yet she was utterly powerless to do anything.
Looking at Wei Zhao's ashen face, Huo Yudie sobbed uncontrollably. Apart from loathing her own incompetence, she truly did not know what to do. If there were any way to bring Wei Zhao back, she would have been willing to pay any price—but how? How could he be saved?!
"The Great Return Pill! Yes, yes, I still have a top-grade Great Return Pill!" Like a drowning person clutching at the last straw, Huo Yudie hastily took out the top-grade Great Return Pill her master had left her to preserve her own life, and tried every means to make Wei Zhao swallow it.
Though she also knew it might well be useless. If she could not find a way to deal with the bloody hole in Wei Zhao's abdomen soon, then no matter how many top-grade Great Return Pills he swallowed, it would all be in vain.
After all, this was not the secular world. If Wei Zhao could still have kept sufficiently clear-headed, he would have had a way to give himself some simple treatment—but Huo Yudie could not do that. How would she know how to perform such a daunting surgical operation?
It was only because Huo Yudie was a little bolder than most. Any other girl, seeing Wei Zhao's injuries, would long since have fainted from fright.
While Huo Yudie was weeping here with her mind a complete blank, Xu Lingchong took the opportunity on the other side to stash away the Thunder Mystic Vine he had mostly dug up. He did not bother with the other one; without another word he hoisted the half-dead, unconscious Kang Jingming onto his shoulder and turned to flee.
Although he still had the laser cannon in hand, he had no intention of staying to tangle with Huo Yudie. After all, this girl was a peak Nascent Soul expert—her true strength was far greater than his!
And most important of all was Huo Yudie's Eastern Continent background. He was not willing to make an enemy of her over nothing. Although this business seemed to have been done without anyone noticing, what if it was discovered?
For Xu Lingchong at this moment, he had already done everything that needed doing, and his mission was complete. There was really no need to linger and dawdle, only to invite trouble.
Besides, he had blasted Wei Zhao dead with a single shot on the spur of the moment—he still had no idea how he was going to explain this to his superiors when he got back. Granted, under the circumstances he could be excused, but in the end he had still violated his superiors' orders. He did not know whether the mysterious man would blame him. Ah, he could only take things one step at a time.
But even if the mysterious man really did hand down a punishment, Xu Lingchong could only pinch his nose and accept it. In any case, he had taken this chance to successfully eliminate his mortal enemy Wei Zhao; by any reckoning he had not come out at a loss. And if things really went badly, he could always use Kang Jingming as a scapegoat, leaving himself conveniently out of it...
Over there, Xu Lingchong had already carried Kang Jingming and flown swiftly to the exit. Only then did Huo Yudie, mired in grief and bewilderment, suddenly begin to come back to her senses.
If Wei Zhao really was doomed to die, then even at the cost of her own life, she would put these two chief culprits, Xu Lingchong and Kang Jingming, to death and avenge Wei Zhao!
