Rope Descent
There were no secrets in the view through the telescope. Both sides watched each other's every move. Zhao Ziwu asked anxiously, "Wait, we're going down just like this?"
"That's right. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We were going to face them head-on anyway, so there's no need to sneak around."
From the very beginning, Li Bai had intended to force his way through head-on.
Schemes, whether devious or straightforward, were only useful when you lacked strength. Now that he was powerful enough to sweep through everything single-handedly, why bother with all that pointless nonsense?

"Like last time?"
Zhao Ziwu swallowed involuntarily, remembering what Li Bai had done in Canada's Rocky Mountains.
It was laughable how Three Rivers Pavilion had relied on a permanent military base and still been so full of itself, thinking it could withstand the action group's assault.
But they hadn't expected that, despite the lack of heavy weapons, their fortifications would prove utterly useless. They were demolished one by one like paper tigers, serving none of their intended purpose.
