Chapter 373: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
“All we need to do is let the Plasma Cannon blast onto us.”
When the people around Yang Wei heard his words, they were shocked and speechless.
Not because the idea was extremely bright, but because the idea was so crap in their eyes that they couldn’t believe it had come from Yang Wei’s mouth.
“Yang Wei, have you not rested enough yet?” Jing Feng asked in concern as she felt like he was still feeling exhausted.
“You can head back to take a cold shower if you need to,” Shan Zhilan added.
They were now in a perilous situation, and hearing Yang Wei’s words made her a bit angry.
Like now wasn’t the time for a joke, but a serious solution suggestion.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei raised an eyebrow in confusion.
‘Why does everyone think I’m joking?’ Yang Wei wondered silently.
“I’m being serious right here,” Yang Wei said, hoping to have them hear him out first.
“Sun Tzu’s Art of War had stated in the Thirty-Six Stratagems, we can borrow a knife to kill. At the current scene, the Plasma Cannon may be our death, but it could also be our hope in overturning the situation.” He added.
“What exactly do you mean by that, Yang Wei?”
“Yeah, how are we supposed to use the enemy Plasma Cannon to our advantage?”
As Yang Wei regained everyone’s attention back, he flashed a wicked smile.
Retrieving a sphere-looking object from his storage ring, Yang Wei showed it to everyone.
“This is an energy blaster, and we can use this to redirect the Plasma Cannon shot to another direction.” Yang Wei said.
The spherical object was emitting a powerful spiritual qi aura, and upon closer inspection, the spherical object was rapidly absorbing the spiritual qi around the area.
Even the barrier that Grand Elder Huo had formed wasn’t safe from the greedy absorption.
“Just what is this powerful energy blaster?” Kong Yusheng muttered as he had never seen such an item before.
It was the same for Jing Feng, Shan Zhilan, and Grand Elder Huo as they all held a dumbfounded look.
How did Yang Wei ever get a hold of such an item before?
They all had this same question as they remember Yang Wei was just a poor man in a small village.
Thus, they could never expect him to pull out such a miraculous item.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei thanked Fan Ping secretly for lending him such an item.
‘It sure is a good feeling to be looked up to…’ Yang Wei thought.
Sometime later, Yang Wei proceeded to explain the function of the energy blaster and how he will use it to borrow a knife to kill.
“The energy blaster will absorb the shot from the Plasma Cannon. Afterward, I will activate the energy blaster and send the shot right back at a certain sect.” Yang Wei said with an evil grin.
Everyone here is a clever person, so it didn’t take long for them to understand where they would redirect the shot toward.
And that was none other than the Phoenix Sky Sect.
Added with Yang Wei’s previous words, they are going to use their own weapon against themselves.
It was an extremely sinister and devious move yet clever. They don’t even need to lift a single finger to deal an extreme blow at the Phoenix Sky Sect.
Not only could they avoid the Plasma Cannon that was firing at them, but they now could use it to launch an attack as well. A double win-win situation for them.
“Yang Wei, you are really unbelievable as usual.” Jing Feng praised as she hugged him lovingly.
Yang Wei gladly enjoyed the hug from Jing Feng.
The warmth from her body, and the sweet fragrance she emitted made all of his training worth it.
“I’m glad to see you being the aggressor this time, Jing Feng.” Yang Wei whispered sweetly in her ear.
Jing Feng blushed a little bit as she mumbled, “Haven’t I been the aggressive one the entire time? After all, I’m still higher than you in terms of cultivation. Until the day you surpass me in cultivation, you can never be the real aggressor in our relationship.”
Yang Wei chuckled softly at her words.
Her encouragement words were always different from what others would normally say.
Instead of telling him to just be stronger, she would rather hit his self-esteem and urge him to strive for the better.
“Don’t worry, Jing Feng. I promise it won’t be long for that day to happen.”
“You better honor your words then. I’ll make sure to bring you back to my home and show everyone how wrong they are.”
“Rest assured, Jing Feng. Your family will definitely be jealous of your luck from snatching a wonderful man.”
While Jing Feng and Yang Wei were lost in their flirting, Grand Elder Huo almost wanted to rip them apart for flashing their love openly.
“Damn it, do these two people have no shame in their conduct?” Grand Elder Huo cursed aloud.
“They are a sect elder and disciple yet they are in love with each other. Shouldn’t that be a taboo act in the cultivation world?” He added.
“Oh please, Grand Elder Huo. What year are you living in now? Still so old school and traditional for no reason.” Shan Zhilan quickly intervened as she defended Jing Feng’s honor.
“The only person that should be ashamed of themselves is Meng Pao. Not only did he willingly sacrifice his own daughter for power, but he is also threatening the very sect that his own daughter is residing in.”
Grand Elder Huo twitched his mouth at the swift comeback of Shan Zhilan.
Wasn’t he just ranting aloud because he was jealous of their relationship?
Why did Shan Zhilan suddenly turn so ferocious and attack him?
“I-I was just joking, Elder Shan. You don’t have to bark at me so intensely.” Grand Elder Huo said bitterly.
“Uncle Huo, you should just learn from Sect Leader Kong.” Meng Yan interrupted as she pointed at Kong Yusheng.
Kong Yusheng was smart enough to turn around and not join in their conversation. He was acting like everything that had just occurred was not in his field of vision.
‘This damn bitch… How dare you try to act innocently and bring all the blame to me?’ Grand Elder Huo cursed at him silently.
“Alright alright, it’s my fault then, but can we get back to the main topic?” Grand Elder Huo raised his hand in surrender while reminding them the Plasma Cannon was about to finish charging up.
Shan Zhilan nodded her head.
Taking a step forward, Shan Zhilan tapped on Jing Feng’s shoulders, “You can flirt when this crap is over, but right now, we need Yang Wei to use the energy blaster soon. Otherwise, we will be fried into crisp by that shit cannon.”
“You heard her, right? Release me already.” Jing Feng glanced at Yang Wei as she whispered gently.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but my hand seemed to be stuck onto your slender waist. What should I do?” Yang Wei faked a gasp.
His action managed to tick off Shan Zhilan as she decided to forcefully drag him away.
“There you go, little boy. Is your hand still sticky now or do you need a round of beating to make it unsticky?” Shan Zhilan asked as she raised her sleeve up, ready to thrash him at any given time.
Yang Wei quickly shook his head, and his expression soon turned serious.
“I’m all power up now,” Yang Wei laughed as he kicked the ground softly, propelling himself up the rooftop.
Squinting his eyes, Yang Wei shouted, “Grand Elder Huo, please disable the barrier temporarily. That way the Plasma Cannon would not feel any restriction once it fired.”
Grand Elder Huo nodded his head.
With a flick of his hand, the defensive layer around the Swift Feather Wind Sect disperse.
Of course, that had alarmed other disciples that were still busy in their cultivation.
However, Kong Yusheng had quickly informed the disciples that nothing was going on and they were merely testing the barrier capability.
Sometime later, the Plasma Cannon had finally finished charging up.
The group of people that were controlling the Plasma Cannon smiled wickedly.
“Heh, look at the Swift Feather Wind Sect. They had even deactivated their barrier as soon as we finished charging this bad boy up.”
“Hmph, serve this kind of third-rate sect right. How dare they have the nerve to go against the Phoenix Sky Sect.”
“Enough nonsense, let’s just decimate the entire sect first before we search for Princess Meng Yan.”
As they finished discussing, the leader of the group began activating the Plasma Cannon.
A large and brightful glow began emitting from the Plasma Cannon as it fired toward the center core of the Swift Feather Wind Sect.
BOOOOOOOM!
A loud sound was created as a beam of light shot in a straight line.
“It’s time now!” Yang Wei sneered coldly as he quickly activated the energy blaster from his hand.
