"Huangfu Dengyun, I told you, you're not going anywhere today!"
With a death sentence that sounded like a judgment, Ye Weiming's face remained utterly calm. As he looked at the peerless expert Huangfu Dengyun charging straight at him like a cornered beast, his mind entered an exceptionally rare state of absolute composure.
All along, Ye Weiming had held a sense of awe toward supreme powerhouses like Venerable Huang, Zhang Sanfeng, and Huangfu Dengyun—the true ceiling of power in the game—regardless of whether they were friend or foe.
Because he knew perfectly well just how enormous the gap was between himself and experts of that level.
Even though he had previously used his own methods to put a powerhouse like Di Shitian to death in the Wind and Cloud Secret Realm, it had not changed his sense of awe toward the experts mentioned above. In that battle against Di Shitian, aside from their own strength and meticulous planning, luck had undoubtedly played an enormous role in their victory.
For instance, Ah Hong's timely transformation, and Jiang Jin Jiu, Old Niu, and Dao Mei each being able to counter—or at least withstand—one of Di Shitian's powerful killing moves. While many of those factors could still be counted as the hard strength of Ye Weiming's team, their performances had been far better than Ye Weiming had expected.
That was why Ye Weiming truly could not shamelessly attribute the main reason for that victory to himself.
But today was different!
Although Ye Weiming had used even more trump cards today, including sacred relics capable of summoning two powerhouses at the strength ceiling, Venerable Huang and A Qing, every shift in the situation had remained entirely within his control. Nothing had gone beyond it.
Everything had developed according to the script he had written beforehand.
