Who Gave You Such Confidence?

Snap!

Qianhou slapped Five Ghosts to the ground, saying, "You think you're the loudest?"

The Five Ghosts, who boasted that they could take on four at once, were defeated in a single move, and the Five Ghosts, lying on their backs, suddenly returned to reality.

The confidence he gained from the Sword Forger's sword was the reason he was able to say those words.

Seeing this, Alos couldn't help but sigh.

"Five Ghosts, do you believe me?"

Five Ghosts was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but Qian Hou grabbed his neck and couldn't say a word.

"Five Ghosts, if you believe me, then listen carefully, you..."

Pfft!

Before Alos could finish speaking, Arthur directly cut off his head, and the severed head rolled to the front of the Five Ghosts.

Arthur: "Why so much nonsense?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Five Ghosts nearly lost his breath. His body instantly split into five, breaking free from Qian Hou's restraints and scattering away in an instant!

However, just as he rushed out of the palace, he was bounced back by a strange force!

It was like hitting an invisible wall!

Upon seeing this, Yi Jing flipped his wrist, instantly folding and compressing the structure of space, directly pressing the five Five Ghosts' bodies together in one place.

Guess what my ability is?

The ability that the I Ching can utilize in this game is the ability of space.

Although it cannot unleash the complete Eight Trigrams Space, it can create a Yin-Yang barrier, just like now, leaving the Five Ghosts nowhere to escape.

The Five Ghosts, manipulated by the I Ching, began to tremble. The I Ching gradually became terrifying in Five Ghosts eyes, just like... facing Bai Ye.

In fact, after Yi Jing refined Bai Ye's abilities, he could have become invincible among his peers, just like Bai Ye.

But he didn't.

Because the I Ching and the Bai Ye are different.

Bai Ye is a bit too arrogant. Even if he is very capable, it is still a bit too much for him to challenge all the sequences by himself.

The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. The more capable you are, the more you should hide your abilities. The less you show off, the safer you are. It's a very simple principle.

Yi Jing is very low-key, and many people don't take him seriously. No one compares him to Bai Ye, and not many people hold a grudge against him.

Just like 003.

This applies to the I Ching, but not all sequences are like this; most sequences are very fond of showing off.

Why?

Because they were originally from the lowest rungs of society, when they gained power and climbed from the abyss to the peak, anyone would become arrogant, even Li Yuan was no exception.

This is only natural.

But if they learn their lesson and still don't repent, that would be foolish.

If you can't learn from your mistakes, then there's no such thing as growth; it's just falling down in the same predicament again and repeating the same mistakes.

Many sequences learn to be discreet after a period of expansion.

Of course, 009 is always an exception.

He never knew how to restrain himself and always fell in the same places, but he was able to get up again and again, tirelessly trying new things.

But you know what? When you fail a lot, you always learn something.

If you're looking to learn how to succeed from someone, it's better to find a loser and learn from them how to avoid failure.

A successful person may point out a smooth road for you, but they may not necessarily tell you where the pitfalls are along that road.

Similarly, 009 keeps falling into the same pit, getting up, and then falling into the same pit again.

But he refused to believe in bad luck and insisted on crossing the pit.

Either he fills the pit with corpses, or he'll never get over it.

Get up from where you fall, and fight to the bitter end – that's 009.

Of course, as an exception, his ability to remain so unrepentant is entirely due to his immortality.

If he could die, he wouldn't have had a second chance to court death.

"Alright, Arthur, give him the final blow."

"Etc!"

The Five Ghosts suddenly spoke up, "You can't kill me now. If you kill me now, you'll never find the King of Alos!"

"And my king!"

"If you can't find the king, you won't get the crown. Killing me will be pointless!"

Arthur stuck out his tongue and licked the blade of the dagger. "Do you think I believe you?"

Centaur: "Stop talking nonsense, kill him, and we'll have plenty of time to look for him later!"

Thousand Throat: "Kill him!"

Upon hearing this, the Five Ghosts felt a chill run down their spines. "Then, then I'll join you?"

The I Ching says, "Do not accept, do it."

Arthur: "Okay!"

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

In the darkness, a scream shattered the silence. Arthur walked out of the palace and took out a piece of cloth to wipe the blood from his hands.

"I didn't expect to kill the Night King so easily. I thought it would be a tough battle."

"It seems the famous Night King is nothing special after all."

"Hiss..."

"Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly starting to worry again. Could the Night King Alos have some backup plan?"

"No way?"

Thinking of this, the men turned back to the palace, and by sheer coincidence, they saw a headless corpse stand up and pick up a human head from the ground.

Seeing this, the headless corpse holding the severed head and the centaur fell silent.

"He's really not dead?"

Arthur returned with his sword, and the Night King Alos was numb.

He had already imagined fifty ways he could die, but he never expected that these people could launch a surprise attack.

Aren't the Chaos Splitter usually thick-skinned? When did they become so meticulous and even know to look back?

Alos put his head back on his neck and then sat on the bed.

"You can't kill me, don't waste your energy, I'm immortal."

Arthur sneered, "What if I don't believe you?"

The I Ching has also turned back on itself; is Alos immortal?

Does he have that ability?

It's impossible, but it's also possible.

Two scenarios.

The first scenario is that many people believe he is immortal, so he truly is immortal.

The second possibility is that Alos had the ability to hypnotize himself, deceiving himself into believing that he was immortal.

Although it may be self-deception, conceptual abilities are often insufficient to explain the underlying principles.

As for the specifics, Alos didn't say, and the I Ching certainly couldn't have imagined it.

"Kill."

Without saying a word, Arthur flashed forward and thrust in front of Alos, piercing Alos through the heart with a sharp blade!

Immediately afterwards, another knife appeared in his left hand. He held the knife with both hands and unleashed a storm of slashes, cutting Alos into pieces of minced meat.

"Come on, let me see you live?"

Alos remained motionless. Yi Jing pondered for a moment, then said, "Arthur, you stay here and guard Alos."

"Centaur, Dog, one of you go find the King of Alos, and the other go find the King of the Five Ghosts."
