Chapter 1506 — I Am the Protagonist!

"Thump!" With a dull thud, Yang Qiqi actually struck Zhang Nai Pao right on the neck!

After landing the blow, Yang Qiqi dared not linger and swiftly fell back to one side! On the other side, Yu Bing had meant to hold the two Zhuang brothers in check, only to find that the two showed not the slightest intention of making a move, clearly brimming with confidence in Zhang Nai Pao!

Yet a flicker of barely perceptible worry crossed Wei Zhao's eyes! For after Yang Qiqi struck Zhang Nai Pao, Zhang Nai Pao seemed none the worse, as if he had not been affected at all!

The next moment, Wei Zhao suddenly felt a powerful surge of true qi come through his palm, rushing straight into his body and blasting him flying backward!

Wei Zhao's body slammed heavily onto the ground, his entrails churning violently, and he could not help spitting out a mouthful of blood!

Miserable as Wei Zhao looked, his injuries were in fact not serious. The instant he sensed something wrong, he had ridden Zhang Nai Pao's true qi and flown out with its force. Had he tried to meet it head-on, he might have been hurt far worse!

"So you do not fear attacks from external masters?" Wei Zhao wiped the blood from his mouth and rose from the snow, sighing inwardly. It seemed his first plan had failed; Zhang Nai Pao simply did not fear attacks from external masters!

"Did you think I can only absorb the true qi of internal masters? Idiot!" Zhang Nai Pao looked at Wei Zhao as if he were a fool. "No wonder you came strutting over full of confidence to cause me trouble. You thought you had a trump card against me? You must have eaten too many brain-damage pills. Who told you an external master could handle me? If I could be beaten by some mere external master, I would not bother running around in this world!"

"It seems I underestimated you!" Wei Zhao said with a self-mocking smile.

"Ha ha ha ha! Wei Zhao, let me tell you the truth. My mind art is almighty. It can not only absorb other people's true qi, but any blow struck against me, including blows from external masters, once it enters my body will be converted into true qi for my own use! Do you know how I cultivate? I often leave myself covered in wounds to raise my strength! And poison too is useless against me. I can turn it all into true qi!" Zhang Nai Pao said triumphantly. "You never studied energy conversion, did you? All energies can be converted into each other! Ha ha ha ha, let me tell you, before me you are simply pathetically weak! If this were put in a novel, I would be the protagonist, strutting out with a halo and cheat powers, while you are just a supporting extra for me to trample madly underfoot! Wahahahaha!"

Wei Zhao was deeply shocked, and what shocked him was not that Zhang Nai Pao feared no external master, but that the mind art mantra Zhang Nai Pao cultivated bore a strange resemblance to his own Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art! Both were almighty mantras of energy conversion!

Only his own mantra converted the energy inside the jade pendant space into all kinds of different energies, while Zhang Nai Pao's worked in exactly the opposite way. He could convert every energy from the outside world into his own true qi!

The two achieved the same wonder by different paths! Wei Zhao had never imagined Zhang Nai Pao would have such luck and fortune as to cultivate so formidable a mind art!

"Your mind art is formidable indeed! It kills internal and external alike? Then even if I never touch you and strike you with a weapon, you could still convert it into true qi for your own use?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Naturally!" Zhang Nai Pao laughed loudly. "Today I will let you die enlightened. To tell you the truth, below Earth rank I am invincible, the number one man below Earth rank! Unless you are an external master or an internal master of early Earth rank or above, before me you are all drifting clouds!"

"It seems Zhong Yongliang did not take the wrong little brother. You are formidable!" Wei Zhao said with a bitter smile. "Finding an external master to deal with you was my first plan, but now it seems useless! And striking you with a weapon without touching your body was my second plan, but now that too has failed! My third plan was poison, yet you do not even fear poison. You truly are invincible! All three of my plans seem to have come to nothing!"

"Ha ha ha ha, I already told you, I am like the protagonist. What are you? You are nothing but an ant. You thought a few rotten plans could deal with me? Dream on!" Hearing Wei Zhao admit defeat, Zhang Nai Pao grew all the more triumphant. "But today I will not kill you. I will make you lose all your strength once more! I am sparing you so Brother Liang can finish you off with his own hands!"

Hearing that all three of Wei Zhao's plans had failed, disappointment and alarm spread at once across Yu Bing's and Yang Qiqi's faces! Was this Zhang Nai Pao too mighty? It simply defied imagination that none of Wei Zhao's three plans had any effect on him!

"Is that so? But I have always felt that I am the real protagonist?" Wei Zhao suddenly said, then struck without warning, thrusting out his right palm toward Zhang Nai Pao, true qi bursting forth all over his body in an instant, clearly driving his internal art!

"Ha? At a time like this, you still dare to show off before me?" Zhang Nai Pao had not expected Wei Zhao to dare take the initiative even now, let alone to circulate his internal art. Was that not courting death? A cold sneer curled Zhang Nai Pao's lips as he too raised his right hand, ready to meet Wei Zhao's palm and drain every drop of true qi from his body. "Since you want so badly to be the protagonist, today I will let you play the part, but only as the protagonist of one chapter! I will give you a few more close-ups, so you can die more miserably! Cackle!"

"Thump!" Even as he spoke, Wei Zhao's palm met Zhang Nai Pao's, but in the next instant Zhang Nai Pao discovered that Wei Zhao had suddenly stopped circulating his mantra, and his palm was once more devoid of true qi!

"Huh? What are you up to? Playing this trick again?" Zhang Nai Pao froze for a moment, then prepared to blast Wei Zhao flying once more with his true qi.

Yet in the next breath, Wei Zhao's true qi came surging over like a tidal wave that could topple mountains!

Zhang Nai Pao started, then burst into loud laughter. "Ha ha ha, I get it! You meant to catch the instant when I was about to hit you and was not running my Bee-Absorbing Divine Art, and strike me by surprise, right?"

"So what if I did?" Wei Zhao retorted.

"Oh, nothing much. Only have you noticed that your true qi is still pouring into my body in an endless stream?" Zhang Nai Pao said, eyeing Wei Zhao with scorn.
