361 How Can You Be So Shameless?! (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie had expected that his rain of curses would be even more effective than Venerable Mei's punches if Li Jue Tian got to hear them properly. Li Jue Tian would lose control over his mind, and that would make his injuries worse. He would be enraged, and his Xuan efficacy would be damaged. This would lead to his internal organs sustaining harm. This would lead him to spit blood, and his condition would worsen.
Jun Mo Xie looked on coldly, and was delighted to see Li Jue Tian spitting blood. [This is only the beginning, old man. You will soon be delighted to see your child die in front of your eyes. Just wait for a moment, and I will show you your son's corpse. Then, I'll see that you spit more blood, you bastard!]
[Li Teng Yun, this Young Master had warned you of a bloody event. I had told you that you wouldn't be able to avoid it even if you wanted to. You hadn't believed me, right? Just wait. This Young Master will show you proof!]
[I've gotten a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today. My name isn't Jun Mo Xie if I don't kill you!]
These successive abuses were meant to attack Li Jue Tian's psyche! It could be said that Jun Mo Xie had employed the greatest psychological tactic. He had identified the weakness in his psyche, and had caught hold of that weakness. He had then advanced to catch hold of him, and had created an opportunity step by step. Jun Mo Xie had attacked him repeatedly, and had widened the breach as a result. And thus, he had reached his purpose.
Jun Mo Xie had seen Venerable Mei beat Li Jue Tian up. And, that's when Jun Mo Xie had come up with that bright idea to break his enemy down.
He had planned to humiliate Li Jue Tian from the beginning. The Silver Blizzard City had only helped him along by giving him an opening; that's all. In fact, Jun Mo Xie would've found a reason to rain abuses at Li Jue Tian even if Xiao Han hadn't jumped-in and spoken those stupid words.
However, that idiot Xiao Han stating ”we aren't defeated till they're dead” gave Jun Mo Xie a better reason to start.
A malicious thought had arisen in Jun Mo Xie's mind. [I won't spare anyone who tries to entrap my Jun Family!]
[It doesn't matter who you are… it doesn't matter if you had been forced into it… it doesn't matter if you had some difficulties. You will face my wrath if you were involved — the wrath of the Evil Monarch!]
”Ahem, this matter has ended in defeat, and it's not without reason. My brother and I sympathize with Supreme Commander Jun's bitter experience. And, we are glad that he has been lucky today, and has survived unhurt. It's indeed a matter worth a celebration!” Bu Kuang Feng's temperament was somewhat straightforward. Moreover, he had been discontent from the very beginning with respect to what he had witnessed in this battle. However, he was mainly annoyed with Li Jue Tian and the Silver Blizzard City.
This was because he had witnessed that a very tragic hero had come from afar to render aid to a person, but that person was too busy scheming to entrap this hero. But, the hero had stuck with his beliefs and duty. In fact, he had gone ahead by deciding to fight and die without any regrets! He had stuck with his duty even when he had faced imminent death. Moreover, he had given it everything he had… regardless of the schemes.
The cowardly conspirators had acted like tyrants. They didn't obey his commands, and broke ranks. But, the hero would have a clear conscience whether he lived or died. He had decided to employ the entirety of his military prowess to protect everyone; even the people who wanted to entrap him… and this was simply because they were a part of his group.
Anyone who had seen Jun Wu Yi's formation of troops with a discerning eye could've guessed that the result would've been a loss. But, one could also tell that it wouldn't have been such a miserable one. However, no one could blame Jun Wu Yi for the errors made.
He knew it was a trap. But, a soldier is a soldier. And, a commander is a commander. Jun Wu Yi was fighting for the Continent, and not for taking another breath. This seemed stupid. But, it was enough for men to follow his orders, and treat him with high esteem and admiration.
Lei Bao Yu and Bu Kuang Feng had come as witnesses. But, the Elusive World of the Immortals and Li Jue Tian still had some relations. Therefore, their point of view was a little biased towards Li Jue Tian, and this side of the continent. However, they slowly and unconsciously found their point of view deviate when they saw the events unfurl in front of their own eyes.
Jun Wu Yi had made no mistakes. And, people anyway sympathized with the underdog's situation. Moreover, the envoys of the Elusive World of Immortals considered themselves to stand on the side of justice. So, they obviously and unknowingly found themselves stationed on Jun Wu Yi's side.
It was enough at that moment… even if it was only temporary.
Tragic heroes were always easy to admire. And, Jun Wu Yi was the leading hero that day. He had become the focus of many Spirit Xuan experts.
”The first battle has ended in victory for Tian Fa!” Bu Kuang Feng stated. He then looked at Venerable Mei before he asked, ”Who will fight the second round from Venerable Mei's party?”
”The second round will be fought by Snake King! You can send any individual to fight this one. Regardless of victory or defeat in this round — I will fight the third round against all the senior experts present. I'm confident I will beat everyone.”
Venerable Mei snorted, and stared at Jun Mo Xie as her robe swayed gently. That glare felt like piercing pins to Jun Mo Xie, and he suddenly felt a fit of pain on his face.
”Venerable Mei is indeed bold!” Bu Kuang Feng smiled and continued, ”This youngster is also very good. He hasn't opened his meridians with some special medicines. Nor has he had any Spirit Xuan expert pour Qi into him. And yet, he's already at the Jade Xuan peak despite his young age! It can be said that he's a rare and talented genius… the likes of which are born once in a thousand years! Venerable Mei had approached close to him a few moments ago. Is it possible that you wish to take him as a disciple?”
