In Chi Xue and the others' minds, Ling Tian was a man of many tricks—or, to put it another way, he had plenty of methods at his disposal. For instance, if he teleported into their ranks again and launched a sneak attack, probably not one of them could be certain they would withstand it. Even Chi Xue had no absolute confidence.
