Chapter 2399 - The Spectacle
The Angler understood Su Yi’s character.
Su Yi was a sword cultivator who killed decisively. He hated wasting his breath, and when it came time to attack, he disdained a single wasted word.
Yet now, here he was, making idle chatter.
This uncharacteristic behavior had long since put the Angler on guard. Now, he could hold back no longer. His brow furrowed, and he said, “If you don’t attack, I’m going to leave!”
With that, he turned around as if to leaf. This was a form of probing.
But Su Yi just stood there calmly and said, “The spectacle has not yet begun. If you’re really willing to leave now, go right ahead.”
“...” The Angler didn’t know what to say to that. “You’re bluffing. Quit feigning mysteriousness. Seems to me that you’re just stalling for time until reinforcements arrive!”
Su Yi shook his head. “Such methods are far too coarse. Even if I’d called for far more reinforcements, if you tried your utmost to escape, I’m afraid they won’t be able to hold you back.”
This seemed like an acknowledgment of the Angler’s abilities, but this just put the Angler even more on guard. He was bewildered, and he couldn’t figure out what Su Yi was trying to pull.
The Treasure Leaf Demon Ancestor watched from not far away. When he saw how Su Yi had filled the Angler with uncertainty, leaving him afraid to advance or retreat, he couldn’t help but grin. That insidious old schemer excels and nothing more than mental warfare and plotting.
Who could have imagined that this time, someone would manipulate him to such an extent?
“Schemes are, ultimately, a lesser Dao. When a schemer meets a powerful foe, they’re prone to second-guessing themselves at every turn. That means they’re already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum!” Off in the distance, the Butcher shook his head.
