"Not enough, far from enough. This Chi Clan Immortal Lord is very likely deliberately exposing weaknesses. If we follow the original plan, we will certainly die. I have already seen nineteen thousand six hundred possible endings to our deaths."
"It can see through us. Its Shadow Mirror Sky Lantern is too powerful, comparable to the Yin-Yang Two Energies of our Great Cultivation World. We have lost our home-ground advantage here. We are in a very passive position."
"Stop attacking immediately. We need to withdraw. Every attack lets this Chi Clan Immortal Lord understand us a little better. The expedition has failed. We must retreat."
Ling Yue suddenly spoke. He seemed to be activating his precognitive ability. After all, as the foremost Imperial Observatory Prophet, foreseeing the future was his specialty, not fighting.
But Wang Wu did not stop. He continued sending Supreme Hairs to their deaths, one every second, doing so tirelessly.
"You are not its match."
Ling Yue tried to persuade him again, but it was still wasted breath. Wang Wu turned a deaf ear.
The reason, of course, was not that Wang Wu possessed some winning secret or overwhelming trump card. He was merely learning. It sounded absurd: every second, he sent out a Supreme Hair, constantly changing his methods and tactics. It looked like suicidal attacks, like he was peeling away his trump cards one by one, but throughout the process, he was also studying the Chi Clan Immortal Lord's methods.
Especially that Shadow Mirror Sky Lantern. How could it be so damn incredible? Its effect rivaled the Yin-Yang Two Energies, yet it was more convenient and effective to control?
That was worth learning. Call it a trap if you wanted, say the Chi Clan Immortal Lord had deliberately exposed those weaknesses, but some things remained constant.
