Although he was wary, his scalp tingled.
Fei Yi could not possibly retreat directly today.
After all, he represented the dignity of the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, as the first demon to encounter Yi Zi.
He had the responsibility to find out exactly what Yi Zi's rule, which could suppress other Dao arts, was.
"What Dao is this of yours?"
After pondering for a moment, Fei Yi finally spoke and asked Yi Zi.
"This is the Way of the Gentleman!"
Yi Zi did not hide it and replied directly:
"The Way of the Gentleman—repay kindness with kindness, repay enmity with enmity!!!"
The benevolent are not anxious, the wise are not perplexed, the brave are not afraid!
"The Way of the Gentleman—repay kindness with kindness, repay enmity with enmity?!"
When Yi Zi proclaimed it, he did not merely chant a line as he had when first employing his methods. Instead, he directly used his will to shake the world.
Many living beings capable of receiving the will of a Great Luo now understood Yi Zi's Dao.
Yet those words alone were not enough for them to comprehend.
What exactly the Way of the Gentleman was.
In Luoyang City, Zhou Yuan sensed Yi Zi's condition.
Seeing him use the Way of the Gentleman.
His state of mind immediately settled.
"At least dealing with a Fei Yi shouldn't be a problem."
Zhou Yuan thought.
Sure enough.
Yi Zi quickly allowed all beings under heaven to experience the so-called Way of the Gentleman.
"The benevolent are not anxious!"
Yi Zi chanted.
Whoosh.
As Yi Zi's words spread.
The humans locked in battle, their nerves taut and minds already on the verge of collapse, suddenly seemed to receive a supreme blessing.
In but an instant.
The spiritual light in their minds blazed anew.
An endless stream of aid emerged from the void and poured into every human.
Under its influence.
When they faced the demon race again, they unexpectedly developed an incomparable confidence—
The demon race was nothing more than this!!!
The feeling was somewhat illusory.
Yet whether it was illusory did not matter.
What mattered was that it gave humanity boundless confidence.
"Yi Zi, Yi Zi!"
The title Yi Zi had naturally not existed before.
But today.
At this moment.
As Yi Zi displayed such divine abilities.
Everyone instinctively understood.
How they should address Yi Zi.
"The wise are not perplexed!"
Watching humanity become vigorous and lively under the blessing of his Way of the Gentleman, sweeping away their previous exhaustion, Yi Zi once more set the laws in motion.
A second blessing.
A comprehensive enhancement from the physical body to the five senses.
Thus, when the humans fought the demon race again.
They felt that both their minds and five senses had become incomparably sharp.
And before them.
Those demons who had lost all their Mana and divine abilities, and could truly rely only on their physical bodies to fight.
Suddenly became sluggish and slow.
Though rationally speaking.
These demons were no different from before.
Yet in the eyes of every human warrior at this moment.
The demon race had become like dull-witted beasts, to be slain at will.
In the end.
When battle involved divine abilities, Mana, spiritual treasures, and the like, it came down to whose divine abilities were more powerful, whose treasures were stronger, and whose Mana lasted longer.
But after losing those things.
Insight and sharpness took the lead.
With Yi Zi's blessing.
Humanity did not hold an absolute advantage in this regard.
But at the very least, they were no worse than the demon race.
And so, did the battle not immediately shift from humanity being overwhelmingly suppressed to humanity pressing the demon race into the ground?
"So it's a large-scale enhancement Dao..."
Previously, not knowing what Yi Zi's Way of the Gentleman was.
Fei Yi could not help lacking confidence when facing Yi Zi.
But after seeing Yi Zi act again and again.
Fei Yi relaxed.
After all, Yi Zi's methods clearly marked him as support.
Support, after all.
If he hid within the walls of Xuandu City.
And coordinated with other Great Luos to launch attacks.
He would indeed be a huge problem.
But it was now obvious that there were no powerful experts in Xuandu, and Yi Zi could only hold the field on his own.
Thus, even this support had rushed onto the front lines.
Now there was nothing to fear.
"Yi Zi's Way of the Gentleman naturally crushes those below Great Luo."
"If paired with other Great Luos, it could indeed achieve victory with fewer against more."
"But if he is alone, then he is no threat at all!"
Fei Yi felt that he had grasped the essence of Yi Zi's Way of the Gentleman.
At this moment, he cast aside his earlier timidity.
His mind stirred.
He immediately set his Dao laws into motion.
Fire of Calamity!
"Mount Hunxi has no vegetation but much copper and jade. The Xiao River rises there and flows northwest into the sea. There is a snake with one head and two bodies, named Fei Yi."
"Where it appears, that country suffers a great drought!"
Fei Yi.
What he represented was calamity.
Drought was a fire tribulation.
The power of Fei Yi's laws was the Fire of Calamity.
Once unleashed.
It could not only inflict immense damage upon enemies in the present world.
It could also take effect upon an intangible level.
