Chapter 1511 — Wanting to Say Sorry

Since he had already made enemies of Yubing and Wei Zhao, he might as well carry on! Yushan might be a worthless wretch, but Feng Nitian would still honor what he had promised him earlier — that, too, was a matter of an ancient family's word.

With such a beginning behind him, he was confident that collaborators would not be lacking at his side in the future.

And now, having heard Yushan's words, Feng Nitian was even less inclined to let Wei Zhao and Yubing off. As he himself had said, if Yubing were crippled as well, he still had hope!

"Yushan, you're deluding yourself! Even if I'm wounded and crippled, I won't let you live easy!" Yubing said.

"That's not for you to decide!" Yushan laughed aloud. When he heard that Feng Nitian had no intention of sparing Wei Zhao and Yubing, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "Your teammate has already been locked in place by Brother Nitian. Take one more step forward, and you'll be locked in place too!"

"Ah?" Yubing was briefly stunned. He raised his head toward Wei Zhao, and only then discovered that Wei Zhao had indeed become utterly motionless!

At that moment Wei Zhao was frozen in the posture of a palm strike, as though he were about to unleash a move — and yet could not unleash it.

Wei Zhao had indeed been locked in place by Feng Nitian's Nitian Divine Art. He could think, he could see clearly what was before him, he could hear every word that passed between them — but his whole body would not move.

So it was true! Wei Zhao thought to himself. It was exactly as Yubing had once described it: his body felt bound by something, and no matter what he tried, he could not stir a hairsbreadth.

"Ling Yi, I admit you're formidable — you even defeated Zhang Nai Pao. But before me, you will still lose. No cultivator below the Earth rank can break my domain. Your body will not move, no matter what!" Feng Nitian gazed at the motionless Wei Zhao, thoroughly pleased with himself.

He had never crossed hands with Zhang Nai Pao before, but they were both disciples of the ancient level, and the urge to prove who stood higher was there all the same. Only their respective positions made a true contest impossible — yet neither yielded to the other, and each was set on holding his head above the other's.

But now he could defeat Wei Zhao, and Wei Zhao had wounded Zhang Nai Pao. That being so, it was as good as saying he could defeat Zhang Nai Pao as well. How could Feng Nitian not be pleased?

"Brother Nitian, we've finally found you... Huh? What's this, you two...? Isn't that Brother Ling?" Zhao Qitan and Zhao Qijiu were not in the same squad as Feng Nitian, and so they had been searching for him and Yushan all along. Now, at long last, they had managed to find Feng Nitian — but... something seemed to have gone wrong?

"Young Master Tan, it looks like a fight has started..." Zhao Qijiu said in a low voice.

"This..." Zhao Qitan was taken aback. He hesitated a moment, but in the end withdrew to one side.

The news that Ling Yi had crippled Zhang Nai Pao had reached his ears as well, and it had astonished Zhao Qitan greatly. He had never imagined that Ling Yi could be so formidable as to defeat even Zhang Nai Pao, who had come out of an ancient sect!

It left Zhao Qitan rather regretting having entangled himself with Yushan. Without Yushan, if he had made a squad with Ling Yi and Feng Nitian, would they not have been invincible under heaven? But now, seeing Wei Zhao and Feng Nitian squared off, he hesitated and then decided to help neither side.

For in his eyes the contest between Wei Zhao and Feng Nitian was a fifty-fifty affair; he was not at all confident that Feng Nitian would win outright.

"This... what's going on here? We all know one another. Harmony brings wealth..." Zhao Qitan put on a hypocritical show of ignorance and offered to mediate.

"Qitan, this is none of your business. Just stand over there and watch," said Yushan, who feared that Zhao Qitan had come to stir up trouble, and spoke up quickly.

"This... very well then!" Zhao Qitan had been worrying over how to find an excuse to stand by with folded arms, and now he readily followed Yushan's words and accepted.

"He... what should we do?" Yang Qiqi looked at the motionless Wei Zhao and could not keep herself from asking Yubing.

"I don't know either... but let's not add to the confusion..." Having witnessed how Wei Zhao had dealt with Zhang Nai Pao before, Yubing trusted him: if he were not sure of himself, he would never have made a move.

"Oh..." Yang Qiqi frowned, but she did not move either.

"Enough. I'll deal with you first, and then the two of them!" Feng Nitian glanced at Yubing and Yang Qiqi, then said to Wei Zhao.

With that, Feng Nitian swung his fist at Wei Zhao. He used no technique whatsoever. In his eyes Wei Zhao was already as good as dead, fit only to stand there and take the beating, so any technique would have been superfluous. Better to simply drive a fist straight at him.

"Boom!" A tremendous crash. Yubing and Yang Qiqi instinctively shut their eyes. To them, formidable though Wei Zhao was, this time he had no power to turn the tide. Feng Nitian was not Zhang Nai Pao, after all — his mental cultivation method was far too strange, able to lock a man in place so that he could not move a muscle!

That crash was far louder than the one Zhang Nai Pao had made before; it could well be described as shaking heaven and earth.

In an instant, all the accumulated snow around Wei Zhao and Feng Nitian was blasted into the air. It swirled in a wild flurry about them, so that no one could make out clearly what had happened within.

"Brother Nitian is truly formidable! Not only is his Nitian Divine Art utterly heaven-defying — even this plain, ordinary blow is heaven-defying too!" Yushan looked at the snow filling the sky and hastened to flatter him. His heart instantly grew calm; with a commotion that great, Wei Zhao was certainly dead. Even if he somehow survived by luck, he would be a man hanging on by a single breath!

Zhao Qitan, too, wore a look of shock. He had not expected that, apart from the Nitian Divine Art, Feng Nitian could unleash such a mighty move — it was simply too impressive! People who came out of the ancient families were truly different!

"Ling... Ling Yi!" Yubing cried out instinctively. His bond with Wei Zhao was not merely that of temporary teammates; there was friendship in it, even the closeness one feels toward a brother-in-law. So he absolutely did not want to see anything happen to Wei Zhao!

The powerful aura unleashed by the avalanche abruptly shoved Yubing, Yang Qiqi, Zhao Qitan, Zhao Qijiu and the rest backward; because every one of them was a cultivator, they only narrowly avoided falling flat on the ground!

A flicker of sorrow crossed Yang Qiqi's face as well. She had once sworn to kill Wei Zhao, but after several encounters she had found him to be a decent man. Though she would not admit it aloud, in her heart she could not deny that Wei Zhao really did seem a good person; as for his healing her wounds earlier, that had come from simple kindness — while she, it seemed, was truly like the great grey wolf whom Mr. Dongguo saved, repaying kindness with enmity!
