830 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 12 (2/2)

The same thought arose among the group. Was this Supreme Wit's clever plan? Supreme Cloud was simply too cunning! Without any warning, he had trapped them all and kept them oblivious to it for so long…

The girl seemed to have revealed their original plan when she spoke previously, but Supreme Cloud had set up a fatal trap for them by making use of the opportunity just as they had thought that they had succeeded. The group had speculated Yun Yang's strategy from the couple's conversation and carried on with their initial tactics, executing it to the fullest, only to land face first in the hands of his deadly wile.

It was fortunate that they did not find out about it too late. If they had waited until they were truly exhausted, would they have the energy to defend themselves then? Or would they become prey, waiting to be looted?

There was a more petrifying reality that Mr. Nian had swiftly discerned – Supreme Cloud and the girl must be possessed of a recovery method that they did not know or could not even understand. This was how they could be so confident in anticipating their reaction. Was this another form of waiting at their ease for the enemy to become fatigued?

Once he thought of this, Mr. Nian could not help feeling pessimistic and discouraged, even with his extensive experience. Since they now understood that the depletion strategy would only be a form of self-sabotage, there was no need to continue it. They had to adapt to the situation! They had to be quick about it too, or else they would be digging their graves soon.

With Mr. Nian's holler, everyone from the Four Seasons Tower who were immersed in the battle withdrew themselves swiftly into the fog, vanishing without a trace.

A clear but obviously tired voice emerged from the thick mist, ”Lord Supreme Cloud lives true to your reputation as Supreme Wit indeed. Such adaptive ability and intelligence shows how clever you are. We are really impressed. It is unfortunate that a momentary impulse wastes a lot of effort. We wonder if Lord Supreme Cloud feels that it's a pity as well.”

Yun Yang answered faintly, ”Killing one man is a gain for me. There's nothing that I regret. To me, it's already a bonus if I can eliminate one person. All of you have spent so much effort setting up this kill zone – would I be sorry to Mr. Nian if I don't play any longer with you? Since the sentiment is reciprocated, we're doing good to each other!”

Mr. Nian's voice had already faded, so he might not have heard what Yun Yang had said. The latter continued to listen for some time after he spoke before pulling Ji Lingxi's hand and began sprinting in the fog soundlessly, slipping away to another direction.

”Let's go!”

”The thick fog was to facilitate their tactics, but we can utilize it to our advantage as well.”

”We can't accurately tell where they're coming from when it's their initiative to attack in this blanket of mist, but when the offensive and defensive positions are switched and we're the one attacking now, it's similarly oppressive to them!”

”Actually, what Mr. Nian has guessed, or what all of them guessed, is still wrong.”

”What I was waiting for isn't the moment when they lose all energy and waiting to be killed.”

Yun Yang's gleeful gaze was glinting dangerously with killing intent.

”What I'm waiting for is for this minute, when they find out about this. Otherwise, why would I reveal myself and break this impasse?”

Ji Lingxi could not understand what he was saying, and asked, ”Why? Isn't it better to finish this battle this way? Why do you need to expose yourself first? Wouldn't it be easier to finish them off when they're really drained?”
