Chapter 2440 - Who’s a Traitor?
But Su Yi’s next words left his friends stunned. “Stay here. I’ll be enough on my own.”
“By yourself?” Wen Qingfeng seemed to find this hard to accept. “Daoist Brother Fuyou, we’re no burdens. Now that the progenitors are dead, with our strength, dealing with the remaining Demon Emperors is absolutely within the realm of possibility!”
Su Yi laughed. “I understand, but in this case, it’s best if I go alone.”
Wen Qingfeng was about to object when Luo Yao pulled him back. “It’s not like you don’t understand how Daoist Brother Fuyou does things. He’s made his decision, so he’s not going to change it.”
Wen Qingfeng sighed, obviously unwilling to accept this.
Su Yi said warmly, “I’m going to go test their mettle and see what kind of countermeasures Ol’ Man Heart Demon prepared. Once I’ve gotten a feel for things, I’ll come back and lead you all into battle.”
Wen Qingfeng’s eyes lit up. “So you’re saying that you’re not going out there to settle things with the Outsider Celestial Demons all at once?”
Su Yi shook his head. “You have to eat your meals one bite at a time. Even though Ol’ Man Heart Demon’s gone, added up, the Outsider Celestial Demons still number in the millions, with at least one hundred Demon Emperors. Short of drawing on the hidden cards I keep in reserve, I have no means of slaughtering them all at once.”
He paused, then said, “This time, I plan to act as an assassination and engage in guerilla warfare. I’ll try to kill my targets in one shot, and if I fail, I’ll extricate myself immediately.
“My first step is to create upheaval in their ranks. Once they’re all afraid and too on edge to eat or sleep in peace, they’re likely to seek retribution of their own accord.
“And that will make things much simpler.”
Luo Yao and Wen Qingfeng couldn’t help but nod to themselves.
