Chapter 1508 — Feng Nitian's Arrogance
Having already offended Wei Zhao to the death in his eagerness to curry favor with Zhang Nai Pao, was this not the very moment to make amends?
Wei Zhao accepted what Zhuang Niao Pao handed over and nodded. "All right, you two can get lost. Just looking at you makes my hands itch to give you a beating!"
"Uh..." Zhuang Niao Pao froze for a moment, then said hastily, "We will vanish at once, absolutely swiftly, guaranteed to be faster than light!"
With that, Zhuang Niao Pao fled at full speed with Zhuang Niao Qiang. Zhang Nai Pao had been reduced to a cripple, and although they had no idea what method Wei Zhao had used, they were certain that if Wei Zhao turned the same method on the two brothers, it would not go well for them!
"They run fast enough, faster than rabbits!" Yang Qiqi watched the two Zhuang brothers scatter like monkeys when the tree falls, and felt a surge of indignation. Where had all that arrogance gone when they had teased and robbed her?
Now that they saw Wei Zhao wound Zhang Nai Pao, they were calling Wei Zhao grandpa to his face. What sort of creatures were they?
"All right, take your Snow Lingzhi! Do not lose it again this time!" Wei Zhao returned the Snow Lingzhi to Yang Qiqi as he spoke.
"Ah!" Yang Qiqi took the Snow Lingzhi, a flicker of gratitude crossing her face, then said, "Thank you..."
"No need for thanks. You did your part before." Wei Zhao waved his hand dismissively.
"But... I did not really help at all..." Yang Qiqi felt rather embarrassed. She had seen with her own eyes that her earlier strike had done nothing to Zhang Nai Pao.
"I only needed you to help me buy time. Those earlier plans were all about stalling. I never thought any of them would actually work." Wei Zhao said, "But if you feel bad about it, you can always give the Snow Lingzhi back to me."
"No!" Yang Qiqi hurriedly tucked the Snow Lingzhi away. "You already promised it to me."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. "We shall meet again if fate allows. Your points should be nearly enough. Even counting Zhang Nai Pao and the Zhuang brothers, we have only five hundred points apiece. We must gain more points to pass safely!"
"Can I... come with you?" Yang Qiqi was truly frightened this time. What if she were robbed again? Having barely recovered the Snow Lingzhi after losing it, she did not want to lose it a second time.
"You? Come with us?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback.
"Do not worry, I will not be a burden to you, and I will not ask for your natural treasures. I just feel safer this way..." Yang Qiqi said hurriedly.
"Then come along." Wei Zhao had no reason to refuse, so he nodded.
The news of Zhang Nai Pao's defeat spread like the wind among the trial participants. Although many had not seen it with their own eyes, they heard it from others! That Ling Yi had crippled Zhang Nai Pao!
Such shocking news caught them all off guard! That was an expert from an ancient sect, a master with unique skills, and he had actually lost? Was that Ling Yi really that formidable?
And so these people went from guarding against robbery, theft, and Nai Pao at first to guarding against robbery, theft, and Ling Yi now! Of course, that was only a joke. The man everyone was now chiefly on guard against had become Feng Nitian!
For Feng Nitian was engaged in the same business as Zhang Nai Pao. With Yu Shan at his side, he too went about robbing and plundering other people's natural treasures.
"Brother Nitian, I heard that kid Ling Yi crippled Zhang Nai Pao? What on earth happened? How can that kid be so powerful?" Yu Shan had naturally received the news as well, so he asked rather nervously.
For Wei Zhao and Yu Bing were in the same camp. If Wei Zhao were truly such a powerful being, how was he ever to deal with Yu Bing?
"Who knows? But pay him no mind. No matter how powerful he is, it means nothing! Before me, all are drifting clouds!" Feng Nitian said, "Below Earth-rank, I control everything! Whether he is a master of the internal or the external school, none can escape the range of my domain! Once he enters my domain, he cannot move. If he cannot move, how can he strike? He will have no choice but to take a beating!"
"Ha ha ha ha, true enough. Put that way, Brother Nitian is far stronger than Zhang Nai Pao!" Hearing that this was indeed the case, Yu Shan felt his heart settle at once! When the time came, Feng Nitian would use his Nitian Divine Art to pin Wei Zhao down, and what move could he possibly make then? No matter how mighty his techniques, he could only choke with frustration!
"You cannot quite say that. Each has his own strengths!" Although he said so, Feng Nitian remained very proud, for what Yu Shan said was not wrong. A man Zhang Nai Pao could not handle, he, Feng Nitian, was absolutely confident of handling!
"Still, that Zhang Nai Pao is certainly not as formidable as you, Brother Nitian! If he ran into you, he would only be beaten! Once you pin him down, he cannot touch us, and then can we not do whatever we please with him?" Yu Shan said flatteringly.
Feng Nitian smiled faintly and said nothing. He had heard, after all, that Zhang Nai Pao's qi-absorbing divine art was a passive skill that could be unleashed whether he was pinned or not! Even so, Feng Nitian truly believed himself stronger than Zhang Nai Pao. If they really fought, even if he could do nothing to Zhang Nai Pao, once he had pinned him he could simply shoot him with firearms. Would that not kill him just the same? He refused to believe Zhang Nai Pao could turn bullets into true qi as well!
At the highest point of the Ice Snow Spirit Mountain stood two women in gauze robes, one in cyan and one in white. They were none other than Xiao Qing and the Ice Palace Master of the Ice Palace!
The spot where the two stood afforded a full view of the entire Ice Snow Spirit Mountain. The sight and perception of Heaven-rank masters were beyond comparison with ordinary cultivators. Without the aid of any electronic instruments, the two could see clearly everything that happened upon the mountain!
"That Ling Yi is rather interesting!" The Ice Palace Master had also witnessed the scene of Ling Yi defeating Zhang Nai Pao, and she remarked faintly.
"Indeed. I wonder what move he used to cripple Zhang Nai Pao." Xiao Qing said with some puzzlement, "But now that a disciple of an ancient sect is hurt, will they vent their anger upon our Ice Palace?"
"Would they dare?" The Ice Palace Master said calmly, "We changed the trial rules for them and forbade trial participants from killing one another. That is already giving them enough face. Now, sparing his life counts as our account to them. Dare they blame us? Even if the ancestor of the Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect came, he would be no more than an existence on my level..."
"That is true!" Xiao Qing nodded upon hearing this. "Our Ice Palace has never feared anyone!"
