The cooperation between Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong has always been tacit. This was not the first time the two of them had carried out such an outflank on this secret route. Wei Zhan had an idea of where he would meet his opponent. While catching up all the way, I had already made various calculations in my mind. But when he came, he hesitated.
He knew that Wei would eventually be one step ahead of him, and he should be waiting for his support at this time, but it was too quiet in the front, right? I chased them all the way without any delay. Even if the battlefield between the two sides has shifted, they shouldn't be too far away from here. How can I not feel any movement?
An ominous premonition had already appeared in Wei Zhan's mind. He clung to the mountain wall and stretched his head forward very carefully.
Then he saw Wei Zhong, lying motionless on the ground.
Wei Zhan immediately retracted his head.
Wei Zhong, has he been killed?
Wei Zhan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. There are as many as five people on the other side, but most of them are not at a high level. Wei Zhong alone may not be able to defeat five people, but if they hold on for a while and wait for Wei Zhan to catch up, they both feel that there is no problem, so the two of them will confidently and boldly carry out such an outflank.
But now, Wei Zhan was not late, but Wei Zhan had already fallen down in this short moment. Wei Zhong, who has the power of "glimpsing light", can't even sustain it for a while? The opponent's strength seemed to far exceed their expectations.
After clinging to the mountain wall to calm down his emotions, Wei Zhan stuck his head out again.
He didn't sense anything strange, so it was unlikely that his opponent would stay here to ambush. But he still carefully observed several places in this area where his opponents might be ambushing. These places were where the two of them had successfully ambushed many times, but now they had become a worry in Wei Zhan's heart.
After several confirmations, Wei Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, stepped out from behind the mountain wall, and quickly walked to Wei Zhan's side.
Death was confirmed, the fatal wound being a blow to the neck. But before that, Wei Zhan had already lost his ability to resist, and Wei Zhan found that his spine was broken.
From Wei Zhong's posture, there were also blood stains on the ground. Wei Zhan quickly determined the circumstances under which Wei Zhan's spine was broken. Wei Zhan turned his head and looked at the rocks on the side, which was where Wei Zhan had been hiding.
The small hole punched through the rock was still there. Wei Zhan stepped forward and took a look. His face also changed. His judgment was exactly the same as that of Wei Zhong at that time. This mountain rock is easy to break but difficult to penetrate. Those who can do this will have the power of attack. At least above the two of them.
There was no wound left by the blow in Wei's life. He undoubtedly dodged the blow. Wei Zhan relied on his understanding of Wei Zhong to quickly determine his way of evasion, and even found the palm prints Wei Zhong left on the rocks.
Turning back and looking at the place where Wei Zhan fell dead, Wei Zhan's expression became even more serious.
The blow that penetrated the rock was certainly powerful, but the blow that followed and knocked down Wei Zhong was even more terrifying. There was not much distance from the back of the rock to the place where Wei finally fell dead. The blow came quickly, and more importantly, it was accurate. Wei Zhong was taken down in one blow.
What about glimpses? Didn't Wei finally use it?
Wei Zhan didn't think so. The blow that penetrated the rock was enough to attract Wei Zhong's attention. In this case, how could he not use Glimpse to dodge? In other words, even when his opponent used Glimpse of Light, he could still kill him with such an accurate blow? ——Although the spine-shattering blow did not kill Wei Zhong on the spot, it was indeed a fatal blow.
You can actually see through the glimmer of light.
There is no clue about this in the information about the five people that the City Lord's Mansion currently has.
Wei eventually paid the price with death. Where is Wei Zhan? Although he had deduced this conclusion, he had no idea what kind of ability the other party relied on to see through.
Him now. I didn’t dare to continue to pursue him. Even if he catches up with Wei Zhong's opponent who can finish him off in a matter of seconds, he will only die.
It was time to redeploy, and Wei Zhan began to make new calculations. He was not very sad because of Wei Zhong's death. He was more surprised. Both he and Wei Zhong were mentally prepared for the outcome of death.
Those who kill will eventually be killed.
Among the guards in the city lord's mansion, he and Wei Zhong were the ones who were dedicated to killing people. So far, no one has died well.
After staying in this hidden mountain for a while, Wei Zhan continued walking. He didn't dare to follow closely, but he still expected to grasp the traces of his opponent. He hoped to judge this by following the traces left by the five opponents.
But this time, he was disappointed.
There will be traces left before, obviously the path other than the other party is mysterious and hidden enough. But after encountering Wei Zhong, they finally no longer thought so, and they left no traces along the way. Wei Zhan did not forget that among the five people on the other side, there was one of their colleagues who was quite expert in killing people and concealing his whereabouts.
In this way, Wei Zhan walked through Xiafeng City along this road, but he had no clue where Lu Ping and the other five went.
Wei Zhan did not dare to neglect at all and hurriedly sent out the current situation and reported it to the city lord Wei Zhong.
Zhaofeng Academy is still the dean's office on the sixth floor. No one knows when Wei Zhong will sit here until he leaves, nor does he know what his plans are for Zhaofeng Academy.
However, after Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong came back, Wei Zhong's expression finally softened a lot.
He had completely given up his curiosity about Lu Ping and the others. He no longer wanted to know their background, nor did he want to know what their intentions were. He just wanted them to die. Even though their deaths were far from worth the heavy damage to the City Lord's Mansion in Wei Zhong's opinion, it would be too embarrassing and inefficient to continue to struggle with them endlessly.
But when a pure task like killing was left in the hands of Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong, he was still very confident.
Until he got the message.
The guard was finally killed, and the five people had sneaked into Xiafeng City, with their whereabouts and intentions unknown.
The spy who sent the news was trembling, and all the subordinates in the dean's office were trembling. They simply couldn't imagine how furious such news would make Wei Zhong.
But what surprised them was that Wei Zhong didn't get angry at the news. He was very calm and asked very calmly: "How did Wei Zhong die?"
"It was seen through the glimmer of light and killed with one blow." The secret agent immediately replied that this was a report from Wei Zhan. This was the only explanation of the process, and this sentence could already explain a lot.
Wei Zhong stood up and looked out the broken window, where Wei Meng was thrown out by him.
The repeated failures did not seem to be due to incompetence on the part of the subordinates.
The other party has strength beyond their imagination. From the very beginning, not only him, but also the entire City Lord's Mansion, had paid any real attention to the few student brats from Zhaifeng Academy.
If such a mistake occurs, Wei Zhong cannot be blamed too much.
It would be strange if the city lord's palace in charge of the first district and the second-rank official of the empire really took a few students from Zhaifeng Academy too seriously.
But now, Wei Zhong had to adjust his mentality and really pay attention to these people aggressively. (To be continued.)
