Martial God Development Plan

“Ji Zhao…” The old man jumped off the ruins and reached out to touch his face. “I am despairing. I don’t know how to escape Xiaoyao Feng’s net. I don’t know how to find a chance to kill you who are becoming more and more powerful. I can’t do anything. So, I can only beg day and night, hoping that God can send you to me…”

Tear!

The old man tore off a human skin mask, revealing a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life underneath, and many horrific wounds left on it due to torture... Who else could it be if not the Dong Taoist who symbolizes a ray of hope for the world? !

The man slowly walked towards Ji Zhao, his frantic internal energy surging at an overloaded state, causing devastating damage to the meridians. At the same time, it also allowed the Taoist Dong to temporarily suppress his injuries and exert his most extreme strength at the moment.

"This is the most powerless prayer. I gave up everything I had and only prayed for the will of God, which I didn't know whether it existed or not... But God responded to me. You came and arrived in front of me. I didn't even feel your breath until the wooden board was lifted. Then I was sure that God had not abandoned me. God also used up everything to send you to me... Maybe it's because God doesn't want to die either."

The Taoist Dong spoke softly, and his voice was carried gently into Ji Zhao's ears by the wind.

"Do you understand, Ji Zhao, God, it doesn't want to die."

Volume 5: The Escapers: Chapter 72: The Desperado

Ji Zhao believed that no matter what, Taoist Dong would definitely appear in front of him again. Even if he didn't appear today, he would appear one day in the future. Moreover, even if Xiaoyao Feng sent people to hunt him down, these people would be instigated by Taoist Dong one by one, until finally, Xiaoyao Feng would become this ray of hope.

reason?

No...If I have to say it, it is Ji Zhao's recognition of the glimmer of hope. At this moment, the Taoist Dong is the incarnation of God's will. Heaven is unwilling to let him die, so nothing in this world can kill him.

This is not luck or fate, but an invisible big hand controlling everything. However, many people cannot distinguish the difference between these hands and fate... But in fact, it is very simple to distinguish the two. As the Dong Taoist said, God will also die, and only living things can die.

The flag protected by these big hands symbolizes a glimmer of hope. The Dong Taoist is the only one who can fully understand the will of heaven, so the only one who can kill him is... Ji Zhao.

This is completely opposite to the idea of ​​the Taoist Dong. The Taoist Dong believes that this is his last chance, and after this, he will definitely not be able to escape Xiaoyaofeng's encirclement... Due to the difference in cognition and experience, the two made completely different judgments. As for who is right or wrong, it is no longer important at this moment.

Ji Zhao did not run away. He stared at the Dong Taoist. It was not so much that his face was expressionless, but rather that he was too lazy to put any effort into controlling the muscles in that part. As a result, all his muscles were in the most primitive and primitive postures. He looked a little dull. At first glance, one might wonder "Is this kid stupid?" But after looking at him a few more times, he looked like a puppet in a horror movie. He was obviously a human, but he gave people the feeling of not being a human. The uncanny valley effect had reached its peak.

"No one wants to die..." Ji Zhao said slowly, "However, death is the fairest thing in the world. It is the end of everything."

To others, this sentence could be said to be confusing, and they had no idea what Ji Zhao was talking about. However, to the Taoist Dong, it was a powerful symbol of Ji Zhao's response to his identity once again. Although he had confirmed this matter a long time ago, hearing it again strengthened his determination to complete his mission.

He didn't know the causes and consequences of the world's destruction like Ji Zhao, but there was only one thing he was absolutely sure of, and that was what he should do.

"Come on... Ji Zhao." The voice of the Dong Taoist sounded. He stood on the ruins, letting the ground beneath his feet continue to shake. His muscles quickly turned red, emitting an unusually high temperature... This was a self-destructive overload of internal energy. Sometimes the price was the meridians, sometimes life. But at this moment, the Dong Taoist didn't care. He squeezed out a few words from his throat, as if they also carried a burnt breath, "We should end this."

Ji Zhao did not respond, the sound of the two spears being unsheathed was his answer.

boom! ! ! !

The earthquake was still not over, the ground was shaking violently, the sound of buildings collapsing continued to be heard, smoke and dust filled the air, and the panicked voices of the crowd merged into one. In this scene that seemed like the end of the world, the Taoist moved without any reservation. He stepped on the ground with one foot, and with a surge of internal energy, he kicked a table with a missing leg towards Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao slapped with his backhand, and a terrifying force surged, breaking the table into pieces, revealing the Taoist priest behind him. He flew over with great momentum and slapped with his palm, with strong gust of wind. Although he was clearly several feet away from Ji Zhao, the terrifying cold wind was like the ghost face of Yama, and it flashed past Ji Zhao.

Swish!

Ji Zhao had already prepared his hidden weapon, ready to throw it out at any time, but when he saw the Taoist Dong's fearless look, he knew that the hidden weapon, a small trick that could threaten the enemy's life but could not quickly have a great impact on the enemy's combat effectiveness, had lost its effect. Without hesitation, he stepped on the Immaculate Lotus Step taught by Xiaoyao Feng, wearing the Scarlet Divine Robe that could ignore certain physical rules. For a moment, he was like a ghost, and his whole body retreated like a spirit.

Although the Taoist Dong missed his attack, he was not discouraged. A martial artist of his level was already a top master in the world in his prime, only inferior to a master with one rare move. Although he was not in good shape now, he was still smart. Decades of experience in fighting against enemies were still there. He lightly tapped the ground with his toes, completed the leverage and released a second burst of internal energy, and pressed forward like a lingering ghost.

Swish!

With a flash of cold light, Ji Zhao advanced instead of retreating. The two spears in his hands made a strange angle and stabbed straight at the Taoist Dong.

This sounds like he is seeking death. One has to know how advanced the Taoist Dong is. If a martial artist of normal level were to control Ji Zhao, even if he were given ten lives, the wheels would not be enough to kill him. Although he missed the first attack, he relied on his many years of experience and launched the second attack almost instantly. There was almost no time for the old strength to be used up and the new strength to be generated. Ji Zhao, on the other hand, had been retreating at first, but now he suddenly moved forward to attack... Even if his cultivation was higher than that of the Taoist Dong, he would still suffer a great loss by retreating first and then advancing, not to mention that his cultivation was far lower than that of the Taoist Dong.

But, Ji Zhao has a heavenly weapon... the Scarlet Divine Robe! This piece of clothing can help him turn the impossible into possible.

call out!

With a flash of cold light, the double stabs instantly turned retreat into advance. Not only did Ji Zhao's body almost ignore inertia, it also gave him extraordinary physical explosive power, which was equivalent to a car accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour in one second... His movements were so fast that even the Hongyue internal energy with amazing explosive power had no time to react!

The explosive power of the body is faster than the explosive power of internal breath. This usually only happens to martial artists who practice physical training!

Even though Dong Dao Ren had decades of experience in the martial arts world, he had never seen such a strange scene. However, he was not afraid at all. Facing Ji Zhao's double spears that emitted a chilling cold air, he had no intention of dodging. Instead, he increased his internal energy output and rushed straight towards Ji Zhao!

How to crack it…?

No.

That's right, Taoist Dong had no idea how to break Ji Zhao's stab which was so tricky and dangerous at an extremely sharp angle. At first glance, he had no choice but to dodge the stab and suffer the loss. But Taoist Dong proved... there was actually a choice.

That means to redouble your strength and fight with Ji Zhao.

Is this a struggle for survival?

No... this was a move of mutual destruction. Ji Zhao's double spears would pierce his head, and his palm with the remaining strength would also shatter Ji Zhao's heart meridians.

There was no room for easing up or testing, nor any chance for regret. At this time, the two sides had fought for less than two breaths, and their internal energy and physical strength were still sufficient. However, Taoist Dong did not hold back at all and wanted to die together with Ji Zhao!

Volume 5: Escape 1: Chapter 73: Endless Bloody Battle

The Dong Taoist has something that Ji Zhao doesn't have...he dares to fight to the death.

Ji Zhao used to be the most desperate person in the world. No one was more familiar with the taste of death than him, because he had died many times in the game. However, he was unable to fight desperately now.

Because his life is too precious...he is no longer living for himself.

Ji Zhao was a very strong-willed person... He was born in such a poor family, without a father or a mother, and depended on his grandmother for support, leading a poor life. As a result, he was sensitive, inferior, and strong-willed. It's just that he achieved great success later on, so these problems did not show up, but that doesn't mean they really disappeared.

If Ji Zhao had traveled to this world alone without carrying anything, he would be a useless man now, because he would not be able to persuade Lie Yufei... If you don't want to give it, fine, then I will leave and will never pester you or ask for anything in return.

However, in the end he compromised, hid his true self, and accepted everything that was beneficial to him... In order to accomplish his great cause, nothing can be compromised, nothing can be given up. Not only did he have to betray everything in the world, he even betrayed himself.

Therefore, Ji Zhao did not dare to die... He went from being the person who feared death the most in the world to being the person who feared death the most in the world. On the contrary, Dong Taoist was the opposite. After meeting Ji Zhao, he went from being the person who feared death the most in the world to being the person who feared death the least in the world.

tread!

Ji Zhao retracted his move, and his Red Moon internal energy burst out. He stomped heavily on the ground, and the violent internal energy surged, breaking the ground into pieces. If it were normal, this move would definitely not affect the Taoist Dong. However, at this moment the earthquake had not stopped, and even with the Taoist Dong's level of cultivation, it was inevitable that he had some problems with balance. Ji Zhao immediately seized the opportunity and hit him hard with a fast and fierce whip kick.

boom!

A sharp collision sound was heard, and the Taoist Dong flew backwards and smashed into a house beside the street, smashing down the already crumbling house. Amid a chaotic sound, the Taoist Dong slapped the ground with his backhand, overturned the many sundries that were pressing on his body, and returned to the battlefield in an instant, but there was a blood mark on his waist and abdomen... Ji Zhao used the Broken Wind Cut taught by Yunxiao in this whip kick, creating a striking effect almost like a sharp weapon. Fortunately, the Taoist Dong was an old veteran and saw the clue of Ji Zhao's move, and used his internal energy to defend himself. Otherwise, if he was not cut in half, at least some of his internal organs would be exposed.

Click.

Ji Zhao put the spear back into the sheath, then pointed his toes and landed on a martial artist. He rolled up his sleeves and took the weapon the martial artist was using into his hand... It was an iron stick with a black dragon pattern on it and the whole stick was silver-gray. Ji Zhao knew it was a good weapon as soon as he picked it up... The martial artist had just caught a glimpse of the fight between the two and was frightened by the Taoist's internal breath fluctuations. He didn't dare to say anything when Ji Zhao took his weapon and ran away without saying a word.

"What's wrong... double thorns, no need for it."

Perhaps because he could see that Ji Zhao had no intention of escaping, the Taoist did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he circulated his internal energy to restore his body's condition, while quietly closing the distance between him and Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao's face still had a dull and horrified expression, with only his eyes moving. How to describe this state? It was as if his soul was in another dimension, and had only briefly descended on this strange body through some kind of call.

Ji Zhao changed his weapon to a stick, naturally to prevent the Taoist from fighting him desperately. Weapons are always stronger the longer they are, and more dangerous the shorter they are.

boom!

Seeing that Ji Zhao had no intention of answering, Taoist Dong did not delay any longer and rushed forward with his internal energy bursting out again. However, how could Ji Zhao, who had changed his weapon, give him the chance to get close to him? He danced with the long stick in his hand tightly, and all the sets of gun and stick techniques taught by Xuan Tianlie were put into actual combat. Every move of his hands and feet showed the demeanor of a martial arts master.

The Taoist wanted to fight Ji Zhao to the death, but he couldn't find any chance. Even if he launched a strong attack regardless of casualties, Ji Zhao could deal with it calmly or awkwardly... This is not to say that Ji Zhao is better at using a stick than double spears. In fact, short weapons such as double spears and daggers should be the weapons that Ji Zhao is most proficient in. It's just that in this battle, long weapons are more suitable.

After more than ten moves, Taoist Dong still couldn't break through Ji Zhao's defense. Instead, he was hit several times in the chest, waist and abdomen. Although Ji Zhao didn't accumulate enough strength, relying on the special burst of the Scarlet Divine Robe, these blows were still powerful and made Taoist Dong's blood surge.

The Dong Taoist knew that this battle could not go on like this, so he got ruthless and took the opportunity to take Ji Zhao's stick. This time, Ji Zhao exerted full strength, and the stick was so powerful that it was unstoppable and smashed the Dong Taoist's collarbone. Then he swept it and hit the Dong Taoist's ear... However, this blow was not in vain. The Dong Taoist took the opportunity and used his soul-capturing technique, which was even more advanced after being tortured by Xiaoyaofeng, and stabbed Ji Zhao's brain directly.

Ji Zhao had experienced this move many times. Even though the Taoist Dong had made great progress in his soul-capturing technique, he was still unable to control Ji Zhao for too long. Ji Zhao broke free almost in an instant... But now the two sides were not at the stage of looking for each other's flaws from a distance of dozens of meters. They were in close combat!

The Taoist Dong, who had been hit by the stick repeatedly and had to forcefully burst out his internal energy many times, had his gums soaked with blood and his pupils were full of bloodshot. He gritted his teeth, not caring about the injuries on his body, and letting the wounds burst and worsen. He mobilized all his strength and rushed forward. He wanted to end Ji Zhao's life with a slap on the head, but he saw that Ji Zhao's eyes had regained clarity and his head subconsciously tilted back. He had to settle for the next best thing and slapped Ji Zhao's chest with his backhand. At the same time, he used his left hand to take away the long stick from Ji Zhao's hand.

boom!

Ji Zhao was blown away by a palm strike, and the iron stick in his hand also fell into the hands of the Dong Taoist. The latter did not know how to use the stick, and without even looking at it, he threw it behind him with a backhand. He knew that he did not kill him with that blow just now, and he would definitely not give Ji Zhao the chance to get the weapon again.

Ji Zhao was blasted into the wreckage of the previous inn. After taking a short breath, he immediately slapped the ground with his palm, stood up, and at the same time stretched out his hand and rolled up the weapon that he had just seen during the flight into his arms. Fortunately, this is Taixuan City now. Most of the streets are filled with martial artists and weapons are everywhere. If it were another city, Ji Zhao would not be able to take the weapon so easily.

This time, the weapons that Ji Zhao held in his arms were a knife and a saber... His face was still dull and terrified, with a sword in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. His eyes could no longer hold anything else except the Taoist priest.

The Dong Taoist spat out a mouthful of black blood, laughed loudly, but also gritted his teeth.

"Double stabs, fists, kicks, sticks, and then swords... Can you really understand?"

Volume 5: Escape from the Realm: Chapter 74: The Wrath of Ghosts and Gods

Many people claim to be proficient in all kinds of weapons, but anyone who knows a little about martial arts will understand that it is just a joke... It's just that those people rely on their own understanding of the principles of martial arts, coupled with the unique reaction speed of a warrior, so they look very skilled, after all, that's the foundation.

But Ji Zhao was different. He knew the characteristics of the weapons very well. As soon as the Dong Taoist fought with him, he knew that this was real kung fu that had been cultivated with countless efforts!

But how old is Ji Zhao?! How many weapons can he master?

The Taoist Dong moved, and his body shot out like an arrow, with light green internal energy lingering around him, and he rushed towards Ji Zhao with a momentum like the collapse of the sky.

It must be said that the Scarlet God Robe is indeed the 'last piece of the puzzle' for Ji Zhao. Before he got this robe, he had an obvious weakness that was easily exploited, which was that he had little internal energy. If someone attacked him from a distance, he would be dead. Although there was room for movement and evasion, sometimes, even if Ji Zhao did his best, it would be useless. In a famous sect like Luohe Pavilion, the masters would teach their disciples how to use continuous long-range attacking martial arts to lock the enemy's evasive space. At this time, Ji Zhao's movement was useless, and he could only hope that his opponent would make a mistake. If a warrior pins his chance of victory on his opponent's mistake, then his defeat can be predicted.

However, Ji Zhao got the Scarlet God Robe, which gave him nearly infinite room for maneuver - unless the opponent was a grandmaster and directly sent an AOE that affected the entire map, Ji Zhao would have a chance to dodge.

Taoist Dong saw through this in the previous battle, which was why he had to engage in close combat with Ji Zhao. Even though he knew his opponent was good at close combat, he still had to do so. This was the domineering aspect of the Scarlet Divine Robe.

Swish!

The Taoist Dong took a breath and unexpectedly drew a large sword in the distance into his hand. He moved quickly and struck down Huashan with great force. His move was ordinary, but with the Taoist Dong's decades of experience, it had a bit of the flavor of a heavy sword without a sharp edge.

Zheng!

The sound of fierce metal clashing was heard, and Ji Zhao raised his sword to block the blow. In this battle, he had nothing to save except his own life. The Blood Battle Pendant was naturally activated early. The level 8 duel gave him a huge attribute enhancement. Otherwise, with Ji Zhao's physical fitness, he would definitely not be able to block this blow.

Both of them had a lot of internal energy attached to their swords. Although the swords were well-made, they were just ordinary products after all. After such a collision, a huge gap was immediately broken. Small blade fragments flew everywhere, wrapped by the internal energy of Taoist Dong, and stabbed directly into Ji Zhao's eyes!

Roar!

Ji Zhao didn't hesitate and roared like a lion!

Luohe Pavilion would not arrange for masters to teach special countermeasure martial arts such as Lion's Roar, but there were many sonic martial arts in the Sutra Library. If you were interested, you could borrow them and practice by yourself. Ji Zhao practiced such a sonic martial art, called Wrath of Ghosts and Gods, which required extremely high levels of comprehension and martial power, both of which happened to be Ji Zhao's strengths. As a result, he practiced it to a deep level in a very short period of time, which not only allowed him to capture the enemy's mind, but also disperse the opponent's internal energy.

The breathtaking sound waves rolled in, overturning the blade fragments, causing them to roll back and pierce into the Dong Taoist's chest. At the same time, the Dong Taoist's brain felt dizzy, and the circulation of his internal energy was also stagnant. Ji Zhao did not stop at all, and slashed at the Dong Taoist's head with a sword in his backhand!

puff!

The sound of swords hitting flesh was heard, and it was the Taoist Dong who came back to his senses at the critical moment. However, his internal energy was dispersed by Ji Zhao, and he had no choice but to use his body to block Ji Zhao's sword... Fortunately, Ji Zhao's internal energy was almost consumed by the wrath of the ghosts and gods, and he didn't get a breath back. Otherwise, even if the sword was not good at chopping, it would definitely cut off the Taoist Dong's arm.

Even so, the Taoist priest whose arm was cut had no strength to hold his sword anymore. With a clang, the sword fell to the ground and was immediately carried away by the shaking earth.

Taoist Dong's eyes turned red, and he exerted force with his arms suddenly, completely ignoring the hand that was cut, and punched Ji Zhao's heart with his left hand!

Ji Zhao dropped the knife in his right hand and slapped the Taoist priest with his palm. He had never learned Tai Chi, but he was very skilled in how to use clever strength and how to move a large object with a small force. He leaned forward and clapped his hands, and actually managed to dissipate the Taoist priest's fierce attack into nothingness.

At the same time, Ji Zhao naturally raised his leg back, like kicking a shuttlecock, without even looking, and kicked the big knife that he had just discarded. Then he loosened the sword that was stuck in the Taoist's arm, reached back and grabbed the big knife in his hand, and chopped it down!

The Taoist Dong had no choice but to retreat again, but Ji Zhao's body seemed to be controlled by a hundred telepathic operators at the same time. He attacked with his right hand, lifted his left foot back, let go of his left hand and chopped forward with the knife. These movements were connected smoothly, as if no thinking was required. When the last movement was completed, Ji Zhao's right hand had silently passed across his waist, and two silver needles flashing with cold light pierced straight into the Taoist Dong's eyes!

The Taoist Dong still had no choice. Ji Zhao's attack was like a violent storm. This rapid offensive had made him lose his accurate judgment of the situation. He was not afraid of death, but could he really get a chance to attack after taking this blow... When this thought came to his mind, his body had already responded before him, and he dodged... Because of the angle of the silver needle, he could not move backwards, and both sides were locked by Ji Zhao. The Taoist Dong had to bend down, which was a very dangerous posture in a martial artist's fight. How could Ji Zhao miss such a good opportunity? He shook the big knife in his left hand lightly to relieve the excess force, and then chopped it down.

The Taoist Dong had a stern look on his face. He slapped the ground with his hands to support his body, and kicked upwards, aiming directly at Ji Zhao's wrist!

Ji Zhao could dodge this attack, but doing so would mean losing the rhythm of attack, so he dropped his knife without hesitation for the second time, and with the help of the power of the Scarlet Divine Robe, he kicked the Taoist priest on his other foot, which he used to balance his body!

Boom!

The kick hit the wrist, and the kick hit the foot, both actions were completed at almost the same time. Ji Zhao's upper body staggered due to the violent force, and the Taoist Dong almost completely lost his balance. Although he still had one hand touching the ground, in his current posture, he could hardly exert any force. Fortunately, the Taoist Dong was experienced in combat, and when Ji Zhao turned around, he supported the ground with his other hand. With the combined force of his hands and waist, he managed to flip back to his right body. However, his feet had not touched the ground for less than half a breath when Ji Zhao's attack came again!

Volume 5: Human Escape Part 1: Chapter 75: The Sky-Swallowing Evil Ghost

A breathtaking rhythm... Obviously, Dong Taoist's physical fitness and internal energy are stronger, but at this moment, the rhythm is completely controlled by Ji Zhao. It is certainly true that Ji Zhao has superb skills, but the Scarlet Divine Robe also played a great role. If it weren't for this piece of clothing, Ji Zhao would have to get hit a few times if he wanted to control the rhythm like this.

Bang bang bang!

This time, neither side had weapons, and instead engaged in crazy fistfights and kicks... This was the domain of the Dong Taoists.

Ji Zhao's skills are more advanced than his, but this is not enough. Even Ji Zhao cannot control a three-year-old child to defeat the world fighting champion. Dong Taoist has the dual advantages of internal energy and physical fitness. Furthermore, and most importantly, he dares to risk his life... He will find an opportunity without hesitation to die together with Ji Zhao. In a life-and-death battle, one person dares to die while the other does not. This alone is enough to decide too much.

Therefore, in a fight of fists and feet, Ji Zhao will definitely be at a disadvantage...If the fight enters this stage right from the beginning, this conclusion would be correct.

But now, the rhythm is completely in Ji Zhao's hands. Taoist Dong can't even find time to circulate his internal energy. Ji Zhao's attacks are like a storm, one after another. Obviously there is only one opponent, but he has a feeling of facing thousands of troops... According to the words of the Divine Condor Heroes, this is the art of fighting with both hands, but Ji Zhao not only divides his mind into two, every organ in his body is a killing weapon.

Bang bang bang!

During the violent fight, Ji Zhao repeatedly broke through the defense of Taoist Dong, and his body was gradually covered with palm prints and claw marks... But Taoist Dong was an old hand with decades of experience, a top-notch master in the world. At his peak, he was ranked among the top 50 in the world. He immediately forced himself to calm down, and gradually discovered Ji Zhao's flaws.

【"......Eye!"】

The expression on Ji Zhao's face was almost dull, except for his eyes which were always moving at high speed. Taoist Dong saw that every time Ji Zhao was about to attack a certain part or to meet the attack from a certain part, his eyes would quickly scan in that direction.

If Ji Zhao and Dong Taoist were at the same level, this flaw would not actually be considered a flaw. By the time you see the other person's eyes, the fight would be almost over. However, Dong Taoist's cultivation is much higher than Ji Zhao's, and he has stronger dynamic vision...which means that he can capture the direction of Ji Zhao's attack.

After realizing this, Taoist Dong did not use this advantage to launch a counterattack rashly. He wanted to wait for an opportunity to kill Ji Zhao with one blow... This opportunity was not difficult to wait for. Even though Taoist Dong was at a disadvantage, his cultivation was much higher than Ji Zhao's. It would not be difficult for him to kill Ji Zhao with one blow as he could see through his opponent's attack intentions.

However, in this situation, every second was torture. During this period, the Taoist Dong had several opportunities to catch Ji Zhao's flaws, but he gave up these opportunities because they were not enough for him to gain an absolute advantage. For this reason, he could only struggle to hold on under Ji Zhao's torrential attacks, and even took the initiative to give up some defense in order to accumulate internal energy... For the Taoist Dong who was obsessed with saving the world, this was such a long and painful moment.

However, God did not give up on him after all.

[“Here we come!”]

The Dong Taoist accurately captured the movement of Ji Zhao's eyes.

[“If he were to attack my waist and abdomen, his body movements would probably be…”]

His excellent spatial imagination and rich combat experience allowed him to imagine Ji Zhao's next posture, and also allowed him to "see" the fatal flaw!
