Chapter 1567 — True and False Wei Zhao — She and Wei Zhao Are Still Young, So It Is Too Early to Talk of Marriage; Who Knows What the Coming Years May Bring? Moreover, Now That Tang Yun Has Accepted Feng Xiaoxiao, What the Future Holds Is Harder Still to Say!

Although Tang Yun had initially promised Feng Tianlong to let Feng Xiaoxiao and Wei Zhao be together, she had been thinking at the time that Xiaoxiao did not have long to live — even if she did end up with Wei Zhao, she herself would only suffer a temporary grievance. The days ahead were still long!

But later, through her growing bond with Xiaoxiao, Tang Yun came to accept this girl from the very bottom of her heart, and she did not want her to leave. That was precisely why she had been so overwhelmingly supportive when Wei Zhao set out to seek medical treatment for Feng Xiaoxiao!

Since matters had already progressed to this point, Tang Yun decided to be magnanimous and stop meddling in the affairs of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. After all, Wei Zhao would handle everything himself — overthinking it would only wear on her nerves, and it was far better to let nature take its course, just as she was doing now.

Zero One crashed to the ground. Though he scrambled up almost at once, his left hand was a bloody pulp — the white bones clearly visible inside. Evidently, that hand of Zero One's was finished!

What surprised Wei Zhao was that Zero One, once injured, neither cried out nor spoke a single word. His eyes merely turned somewhat bloodshot, betraying a hint of irritation — but that seemed to be all: mere annoyance. The pain of his wound brought him no suffering whatsoever!

After getting back on his feet, Zero One charged at Wei Zhao once more — and this time, the hand he swung was his right one!

A faint, mocking smile flickered across Wei Zhao's lips. This Zero One seemed rather dim-witted — having already been injured under the very same circumstances, the man was actually using the same move again? Was it courage born of repeated defeat, or simply mindless bravery?

Wei Zhao casually condensed another small energy bomb in his palm and struck Zero One's right hand with it in exactly the same manner. Without the slightest suspense, Zero One was blasted backward in a most pathetic fashion, crashing heavily to the ground — his right hand likewise reduced to a bloody mess!

Wei Zhao's ability to cripple Zero One's both hands in the blink of an eye shocked Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian alike. Wu Chengtian in particular was stunned: he knew better than anyone how formidable Zero One's hands and body were in combat. Even his Iron Hand Technique would have had no sure chance against them — yet Wei Zhao had dispatched him with ease!

Thinking of this, Wu Chengtian could not help but feel a chill of aftershock. Thank heavens he had had the good sense to recognize the situation and submitted to Wei Zhao as his leader! Had he gone on acting foolishly as before, still fighting Wei Zhao over Sun Jingyan, and Wei Zhao had delivered such a palm strike to him, wouldn't his Iron Hand Technique have been shattered?

After hitting the ground, Zero One once again scrambled to his feet and charged at Wei Zhao — but this time, he thrust that very same injured right hand at Wei Zhao yet again!

Seeing this, Wei Zhao was immediately bewildered. Did this thing feel no pain at all? And attacking someone with a wounded hand — wasn't that just plain crazy? Was this thing actually stupid?

Stupid? The moment that possibility crossed his mind, Wei Zhao froze slightly — then suddenly recalled the utter blankness he had seen in Zero One's eyes the very first time he laid eyes on him. A bold conjecture flashed through his mind!

Could it be that this Zero One was a being without thought? Reflecting further on Zero One's bizarre behavior — entirely mechanical, fearlessly suicidal — Wei Zhao could not help but suspect that something was truly wrong with this Zero One!

With this in mind, Wei Zhao no longer intended to finish Zero One off. Honestly, given his current approach, it would have been child's play to blow out Zero One's legs and feet as well — and once all four limbs were ruined, killing him would amount to no more than a casual flick of the hand.

But now, finding Zero One rather eerie, Wei Zhao decided to capture him alive and see what exactly was going on with him. Truth be told, Wei Zhao himself was quite curious about the sudden appearance in Songshan City of an evil man bearing such a striking resemblance to him.

Having made up his mind, several silver needles suddenly materialized in Wei Zhao's hand. He flicked them out, and they landed squarely on the charging Zero One's body! Zero One's complete failure to dodge only further confirmed Wei Zhao's suspicion — Zero One had no autonomous will of his own, for no ordinary person, seeing hidden weapons flying toward them, would simply fail to evade!

With Zero One's level of strength — at the peak of the late Xuan Tier — dodging a handful of silver needles would have been as easy as flipping his hand! How could he possibly allow them to simply embed themselves in his body?

Trained in medicine, Wei Zhao knew every acupoint on the human body like the back of his hand. So the very next instant, Zero One was frozen solid where he stood, utterly immobilized! Put plainly, Wei Zhao's technique bore a striking parallel to Feng Nitian's Heaven-Defying Divine Art!

Feng Nitian channeled his true qi to bind his enemies, rendering them unable to move a single inch, while Wei Zhao used silver needles to pierce acupoints, temporarily severing the sensation in his opponent's limbs from the brain's command.

Of course, this technique was effective against ordinary people or those whose strength ranked below Wei Zhao's. Against an expert of the same level or a higher existence, it would seem rather laughable — the opponent could dodge with ease. Zero One, too foolish to even think of dodging, was the first person Wei Zhao had ever encountered like this!

Wei Zhao walked over, seized Zero One's limbs, and crushed the joints of all four, robbing him of any ability to attack. He then retrieved the silver needles from Zero One's body. The entire sequence flowed with the smoothness of water, completed in a single fluid motion — leaving the onlookers dumbfounded!

Prior to this, many of the onlookers had been astonished by the simultaneous appearance of two Wei Zhaos. And they were no strangers to Wei Zhao's face — this man was the suspect from that video clip circulating online!

But upon seeing two Wei Zhaos, the crowd was not foolish: they immediately drew the parallel to the True and False Monkey Kings from Journey to the West, and came to the general conclusion that one of the two Wei Zhaos was good and the other was evil!

And in the end, when the good Wei Zhao easily defeated the wicked one, the onlookers erupted in cheers, one and all praising the real Wei Zhao's prowess for capturing the villain who had thrown everyone into a state of panic!

As for Wei Zhao crushing Zero One's limb joints — not only did no one think him cruel for doing so, everyone found it thoroughly gratifying!

"That's wonderful — turning this scoundrel into a cripple! Let's see how he goes about harming people now!" said Passerby A.

"Exactly! I said it before — this young man looks like a fine fellow, and by no stretch of the imagination does he look like a villain. So the real evil one is someone else altogether!" said Passerby B.

"Indeed — they look so much alike. I'd say it's eight-to-one he was framed, and this man is truly despicable," said Passerby C.

"Justice prevailing over evil — it warms the heart to see it! This criminal suspect is finally going to face the law!" Passerby D declared with delight.
