"Impressive!"
Watching Lin Chuan emerge completely unscathed, Chen Xuanyi and Ye Qingyang both revealed looks of surprise, giving Lin Chuan's maneuver full marks.
What had been a battle on the verge of erupting was dissolved by Lin Chuan without a trace—subduing the enemy without fighting.
Was the Red Emperor really that easy to deal with? Of course not. But Lin Chuan had forced the Red Emperor into a position where he had no choice but to hold back, thus avoiding this great battle.
What had seemed like an offhand provocation made the fire-obsessed Red Emperor promise to let Lin Chuan leave as long as he reached Mars Palace. Yet he had not expected that Lin Chuan did not need to walk there at all. The no-fly restriction here, along with the altered spatial laws, could only suppress his Yomotsu Hirasaka. But the Red Emperor had no way to counter, nor predict, a Dojutsu like Amenotejikara, which instantly swapped positions. Lin Chuan had used that loophole to arrive directly beside Mars Palace.
Of course, the Red Emperor could still have attacked on the grounds that Lin Chuan had not entered Mars Palace itself. But Lin Chuan had released Supreme One Siming at just the right moment. If the Red Emperor attacked, Supreme One Siming would definitely strike to protect Lin Chuan. In that case, the Red Emperor's attack would have little meaning. At most, they would fight a battle, and in the end, Chen Xuanyi and the others would still have to intervene and let Lin Chuan leave.
After weighing the pros and cons, he could only compromise.
