Although Chi Xue and the others were currently using their Externalized Small Worlds fused with formation patterns and restrictions to fend off the attacks of the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers and Demon Soldiers, and could even kill them all if given enough time, they weren't satisfied with that. They hoped the Lord of the Universe would have some misgivings and wouldn't rashly launch the final battle. In other words, they wanted to make him delay once again.
The best way to force the Lord of the Universe to delay was naturally to wield a means powerful enough to intimidate him. At present, the best way to do that was to make him think they were still holding back a powerful trump card. Of course, if Chi Xue and the others appeared relaxed enough, that alone would also serve as a deterrent.
That was why Chi Xue had deliberately said those words. He wanted to put on an act and mislead the Lord of the Universe.
Hearing Chi Xue's words, Ling Tian's Clone and Tu Gui were delighted. They were certain the Lord of the Universe had heard him, and even if he didn't believe it, he would surely have his doubts. As long as he had doubts, there was a chance he wouldn't dare act rashly. That was exactly what they wanted.
"Heh, all the better! We've kept a trump card to deal with the Lord of the Universe. If he attacks Fellow Daoist Ling Tian, we'll go all out. I'm sure our methods can give him plenty of trouble, perhaps even severely wound him. We might even be strong enough to contend with him on our own." Tu Gui picked up the thread. Like Chi Xue, he deliberately spoke loudly, ensuring the Lord of the Universe could hear him.
