Chapter 1122: Battle To The Death (II)
“Dean Zhang, does a descendent of the supreme need to skulk in the shadows like this?” Zheng Gong appeared young and looked around with a hint of wariness. His tone remained calm. “Boundless simply revitalized a few years earlier. The dean did not determine right from wrong before sending Li Hao to execute our guardian plant spirit. I say it’s the dean who’s betrayed our civilization!
“The dean now hides himself and is afraid to show his face. Is this what the supreme teaches his descendants?”
He was confident that Zhang An was here. Zheng Gong remained on high alert despite not knowing where the man was. Zhang An was still terrifying in modern times even without a physical body. He couldn’t detect where the dean was hiding!
Li Hao chose to remain silent. His body was crumbling, but there was so much Water of Life around them that they were blanketed in the resource. He seemed to be floating along a river of life. Thus, his body swiftly recovered.
The young man hadn’t expected that the enemy would mistakenly think that Zhang An was also here and be on guard against that eventuality. They were so cautious that they didn’t choose to take advantage of the opening created by Li Hao killing a Saint. Instead, they remained passively on defense!
This... ran counter to their expectations!
They had two Saints, dozens of Immortals, and tens of thousands of soldiers on their side, but they chose to defend simply because they hadn’t discovered Zhang An yet. They were that wary of the Evenround Martial dean!
Li Hao naturally wouldn’t say that Zhang An hadn’t come. He utilized the breathing space to furiously absorb Water of Life, an act followed by the others. There wasn’t just Water of Life to go around, but endless indestructible matter and core origin energy as well. Whether it was the Great Li king or Watercloud empress dowager, they pulled from their surroundings without saying a word.
Joy leapt in their hearts—this was the remains of a Saint!
Under normal conditions, they would have to engage both Boundless Saints at the same time. Although they’d killed one, the other would immediately follow up on their comrade’s death. There wouldn’t be anytime to stop and absorb these resources. Who would give them a chance to?
No one had expected that the enemy would misunderstand the situation at hand.
