Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong's cooperation had always been very tacit. This kind of outflanking was not the first time the two carried out on this hidden route. Roughly where they would clash with the opponent, Wei Zhan had an idea in his heart. When he chased along the way, he had already made many kinds of plans in his heart. But when he reached the front, he hesitated.
He was clear that Wei Zhong would be a step ahead of him and should be waiting for his support right now. But in front, wasn't it too quiet? He chased all the way without any delay. Even if the battlefield of both sides had shifted, it shouldn't be too far away from here. How could he not sense any movement at all?
A bad premonition already floated up in Wei Zhan's heart. He stuck close to the mountain wall, very carefully poking his head out.
Then he saw Wei Zhong lying on the ground not moving at all.
Wei Zhan immediately retracted his head.
Wei Zhong, was he already finished off?
Wei Zhan's heartbeat suddenly sped up. The opponent had as many as five people, but most of their realms were not high. Wei Zhong alone might find it hard to fight five people, but holding on for a moment until Wei Zhan chased over, the two felt that it was no problem. Hence, the two could rest assured and brazenly carry out this kind of outflanking.
But now, Wei Zhan did not come late, but Wei Zhong had already fallen in this short moment. Wei Zhong who grasped the Floating Light Passing Shadow ability could not even hold on for such a short while? The opponent's strength seemed to far exceed the two's expectations.
Sticking close to the mountain wall, calming his emotions, Wei Zhan once again poked his head out.
He did not sense anything strange, the possibility of the opponent staying here to ambush shouldn't be high. But he still carefully observed the few places where the opponent might be lying in ambush in this area. These places were all places where the two of them had succeeded in ambushes many times, but now they became Wei Zhan's worries.
After a few confirmations, Wei Zhan finally heaved a sigh of relief, flashing out from behind the mountain wall and hurriedly walking to Wei Zhan's side.
Death was already confirmed without a doubt, the fatal injury was a blow that broke his neck. But before this, Wei Zhong had already lost the ability to resist. Wei Zhan discovered that his spine was all shattered.
From Wei Zhong's posture, and the bloodstains on the ground. Wei Zhan very quickly determined under what circumstances Wei Zhong's spine was shattered. Wei Zhan turned his head and looked towards the mountain rock at the side, it was precisely the position where Wei Zhong was hiding before.
The small hole in the rock was still there. Wei Zhan went forward to take a look. His expression also changed. His judgment was exactly the same as Wei Zhong's at that time. This mountain rock was easy to shatter, but it was difficult to pierce through. The person who could do this had incredible offensive prowess. At the very least, it was above the two of them.
There were no wounds on Wei Zhong's body, so he had undoubtedly dodged the attack. Based on his understanding of Wei Zhong, Wei Zhan quickly deduced the way he had dodged and even found the palm print that Wei Zhong had left behind on the mountain rock.
Turning his head back to look at the place where Wei Zhan had died, Wei Zhan's expression turned even more grim.
The strike that pierced through the mountain rock was indeed powerful, but the strike that knocked Wei Zhong down was even more terrifying. There wasn't much distance between the mountain rock and the place where Wei Zhong had fallen. This attack was fast, and more importantly, it was very accurate. He had taken down Wei Zhong with a single strike.
What about Flickering Light Shadow? Wei Zhong didn't use it?
Wei Zhan didn't think so. That strike that pierced through the mountain rock was enough to attract Wei Zhong's attention. Under such circumstances, how could he not use Floating Light Shadow Steps to dodge? In other words, under the circumstances that he had used Floating Light Shadow Steps, the opponent was still able to accurately kill him with a single strike? — — Although the strike that shattered the spine didn't kill Wei Zhong on the spot, it was still a fatal strike.
He could actually see through Flickering Light Shadow Steps.
In the information that the City Lord Manor had on the five of them, there were no clues about this at all.
Wei Zhong had paid the price of his death. What about Wei Zhan? Although he had deduced this conclusion, he had no idea what ability the opponent had relied on to see through Flickering Light Shadow Steps.
Right now, he. He didn't dare to continue chasing. An opponent that could instantly take care of Wei Zhong, even if he caught up, he would only be sending himself to his death.
He needed to regroup. Wei Zhan started to plan again. He didn't feel too sad because of Wei Zhong's death. He was more surprised. Towards this result of death, whether it was him or Wei Zhong, they were already mentally prepared.
Those who killed would be killed in the end.
Among the guards of the City Lord Manor, there were people like him and Wei Zhong who specialized in killing. Until now, none of them had a good ending.
After staying in this hidden mountain for a while longer, Wei Zhan continued on his way. He didn't dare to chase after them anymore, but he still hoped to grasp the opponent's tracks. He hoped to determine this by following the traces left behind by the five of them.
But this time, he was disappointed.
Previously, there were traces left behind because the other party's path was mysterious and hidden enough. But after encountering Wei Zhong, they didn't think so anymore. After that, they didn't leave any traces behind. Wei Zhan didn't forget that one of the five was in the same profession as them. He was quite professional when it came to killing and concealing his tracks.
Just like that, Wei Zhan followed this path into Canyon Peak City. But he had no clue where Lu Ping's group of five went.
Wei Zhan didn't dare to be negligent, hurriedly reporting the current situation to City Lord Wei Zhong.
Zhenfeng College. It was still the dean's office on the sixth floor. No one knew when Wei Zhong was going to leave, nor did they know what his plans were for Zhenfeng College.
But after Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong returned, Wei Zhong's expression eased up quite a bit.
He had already completely given up on his curiosity towards Lu Ping and the others. He didn't want to know what their background was, nor did he want to know what their intentions were. He just wanted them to die. Even though their deaths were far from enough to make up for the damage to the City Lord's Residence, it was too embarrassing and inefficient to continue to be entangled with them.
And he was still very confident that Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong would be able to complete such a simple task.
Until he received the news.
Wei Zhong was dead. The five of them had already infiltrated Canyon Peak City. Their whereabouts and intentions were unknown.
The secret agent who brought the news was trembling. All the subordinates in the dean's office were trembling. They simply didn't dare to imagine how furious Wei Zhong would be with this news.
But what surprised them was that Wei Zhong didn't get angry at this news. He was actually very calm and asked calmly, "How did Wei Zhong die?"
"He was seen through by Flickering Light Passing Shadow. He was killed in one blow." The secret agent immediately replied. This was the report from Wei Zhan. This was the only explanation of the process, and this one sentence was enough to explain a lot.
Wei Zhong stood up and looked towards the broken window. Wei Meng had been thrown out from there.
It seemed that the repeated failures weren't due to the incompetence of his subordinates.
The other party had strength beyond their imagination. From the beginning, he and the entire City Lord's Residence hadn't really paid any attention to the students of Zhenfeng College.
Wei Zhong really couldn't be blamed for such a mistake.
As the Governor of the First District of the Castellan Manor, and a Second Rank Governor of the Empire, it would be strange if he really took a few students from the Zhai Feng Academy seriously.
