A truce? Watching from behind, Ye Xiaotian was somewhat dumbfounded. Half-Saint Jiang Buyi had chosen to back down?
Was this the pressure Ba Zunan had brought him?
"Absolutely insane..."
They had already made preparations for a fight to the death. The planned "Laugh for Ten Breaths" and "Risk Our Lives to Rescue Someone" were about to become reality, while Mei Suren's arrival could only barely be called an unexpected delight.
Yet the battle abruptly changed, changing into this.
The immense pressure Xiao Kongtong had exerted had not provoked Jiang Buyi into forcibly attacking. Instead, it had driven him back.
—Of course, this was the best possible outcome!
What was a perfect plan?
The most perfect plan was one in which all prior preparations went unused. Everyone merely showed their faces, then patted their butts and went home.
But...
Ye Xiaotian wondered whether such a perfect ending truly existed in this world. If he were Jiang Buyi, after failing to seize Xu Xiaoshou and having one Half-Saint incarnation cut down by the other side, how could he possibly wrap things up so casually just because of a few words from someone?
At the very least, he should have left behind a few harsh words or taken someone away, right? Mei Suren could not be taken away now, nor could the "Ba Zunan" Xiao Kongtong had become. If what Ye Xiaotian had guessed truly came to pass, then there were only two people who could be taken away...
Himself, or Xu Xiaoshou!
"Be careful."
Ye Xiaotian warned from behind, not relaxing in the slightest.
He understood the principle of falling short at the last step. The closer one came to the end, the easier it was to let down one's guard—and that was precisely when accidents were most likely to occur.
