The Human-Faced Bee knew very well that killing a Spirit Severing cultivator was difficult.
Then, in a battle between Spirit Severing Grand Lords, pursuing a severe injury to the opponent as much as possible was the most rational choice. There was truly no need to aim unrealistically high.
Yet precisely because of that, it deliberately did the opposite, splitting off only a small portion of its main body to flee.
The larger part of it turned back, intending to attempt a hard fight so the other side would not use the opportunity to wear down its reserves.
In short, before the ambush, the other side would definitely have predicted its reaction, and it did not mind predicting the other side's prediction!
The Human-Faced Bee did not feel there was anything wrong with its choice at all—this entire chain of logic was perfectly natural.
If the other side was stupid enough not to even think of this, then it would accept that. No matter what, it had to clash once before it could achieve Mental Clarity.
The Human-Faced Bee's logic was clear, and it had thought of everything, worthy of its Spirit Severing realm.
Yet unfortunately, it had miscalculated one point—its opponent was not afraid of going head-to-head with it. On the contrary, he was looking forward to it very much!
One could pay tribute to a saying from Blue Star: "Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival; arrogance is."
But this mistake was not entirely its fault. After all, among those three illusory figures, if even one escaped, it would not count as a loss. At the very least, it could rise again very quickly.
Seeing it charge back again, even True Venerable Xiwu was a little surprised. "Eh, a mighty Spirit Severing cultivator is this resistant to illusions?"
