It was not just in strength—Ye Tian also surpassed Fu Bai in tactics and observation.
That meant Ye Tian had defeated Fu Bai in every aspect he took pride in. In the end, Fu Bai wore a calm expression, seeming to accept his fate of defeat and death without a word.
Looking at Fu Bai, who had calmly accepted his fate and died, Ye Tian muttered to himself:
"You think I couldn't see through your tricks? You were merely fast and level-headed, so why could you calmly respond every time I wanted to cast an immortal art? Your Soul Chasing Silk was so useful—you couldn't possibly have used it only once."
In truth, this was why Ye Tian had never found a good opportunity to win.
Logically speaking, his attainments in Myriad Swords Return to Origin and Lotus Step were already sufficient. At the very least, there should have been no noticeable movement when he used them.
Yet even after Ye Tian severed the other party's Soul Chasing Silk, Fu Bai reacted swiftly every time Ye Tian gathered spiritual energy.
A cultivator's perception had limits, and it did not come without cost.
Unless divine sense transformed into divine essence, it was impossible to keep watch over an enemy's movements at all times, much less achieve something that resembled foreseeing the future.
Even Ye Tian's spatial arts could be predicted by Fu Bai in advance.
No one could possibly maintain such vigilance and sharp perception in the midst of an intense battle.
This was definitely not something divine sense alone could accomplish.
Every one of his movements and every adjustment of his spiritual energy had been within his enemy's calculations. Of course such a battle would feel incomparably difficult.
Thus, Ye Tian guessed that Fu Bai had tampered with something again.
