Chapter 4744 — How Did He Get Out?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
Without some special move, an ordinary cultivator truly had no way to attack it from the outside.
Such a trifling obstacle, however, was naturally no trouble for Wei Zhao. If all he had wanted was to strike the array's core inside, he had no fewer than five methods at his disposal; but since the requirement was to use his strongest martial technique, Wei Zhao chose without question the Five Elements Killing Qi.
A low, soul-stealing dragon roar sounded, and a stream of Five Elements Killing Qi came surging out from the center of Wei Zhao's palm. Swift and overbearing as it was, it gave one the impression of a true flood dragon, drifting and gliding as it pleased—one thought from Wei Zhao and it could effortlessly change course at any moment.
As expected, the Five Elements Killing Qi slammed squarely into the teleportation array's core without any suspense. Then, before Huo Yudie's utterly astonished eyes, the entire teleportation array blazed abruptly with a burst of blinding white light—it had actually activated!
Watching Huo Yudie's figure vanish within the teleportation array, Wei Zhao's heart settled at once. That last strike had used only fifty percent of his true qi, yet it had sent Huo Yudie off without a hitch—proof that his theory, even if not entirely correct, had to be close to the mark.
His earlier guess had been right on one point: the reason West Island's authorities stated flatly that one month was the teleportation limit was that the attack limit of a peak Nascent Soul expert could reach no further. But Wei Zhao was different. His true strength could already rival that of a genuine Xuan Sheng stage expert, and the might of his martial techniques far surpassed that of any ordinary peak Nascent Soul expert.
More than that, on the surface Wei Zhao was still only a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert, and the true qi he unleashed was genuine Nascent Soul true qi—only its power was astonishingly great. Thus he himself was not subject to the teleportation array's rank restrictions.
Otherwise, had a Xuan Sheng stage expert been in his place, one blast of Xuan Sheng true qi would likely have been more than the teleportation array could bear, and naturally there would have been no sending anyone out as Wei Zhao had done.
Perhaps this was where the true secret lay. It was like a ferry: to cross a hundred-li river lashed by fierce winds and high waves, one needed sufficiently powerful propulsion, or one could never reach the far bank—yet at the same time the passengers could not exceed the ferry's own load capacity, or else never mind crossing the river, they would not even be allowed aboard.
An ordinary peak Nascent Soul expert could not supply such powerful propulsion, while a Xuan Sheng stage expert, though possessed of that strength, was himself severely over the weight limit and could not board the ship. Only Wei Zhao, that freak, carried the weight of a Nascent Soul expert while wielding the power of a Xuan Sheng expert—and only thus could he force the crossing.
Without hesitation, Wei Zhao stepped into the teleportation array, and another stream of Five Elements Killing Qi activated the teleport.
By afternoon, after a wait of agonizing, day-after-day torment, Kang Jingming and Xu Lingchong had at last safely and successfully arrived at the moment when the trial results were to be announced.
In the side courtyard of the temporary palace, the panel of judges and the trial participants gathered once more. When Ning Shanghe reappeared before the crowd with Ning Xuefei, the corners of Kang Jingming's mouth split into a grin. Gazing at Ning Xuefei, he gulped down his drool again and again—from this moment on, this little beauty would belong to him!
