Chapter 1240: Battle of the Heavenly Will (I)
“What do you think of Zheng Yu?” The Moon God had never asked this question before, but chose to today.
“Him?” The man with the sword on his back thought for a while before smiling. “He’s not bad.”
Not bad?
The Moon God raised an eyebrow, having expected an answer of “trash” or “could not withstand a single blow”. The man was a very proud individual, so it was startling that he would say Zheng Yu was not bad.
The man seemed to know what was running through the god’s mind and chuckled softly. “That’s right, not bad! He reached peak Empyrean King without being stymied by too many difficulties. There’s no doubt that his potential is first rate! His intelligence is passable as well. At the very least, he knows how to craft some strategies that seem impossible to achieve. His only drawback is... he’s too cowardly!”
The man’s assessment of Zheng Yu was decent; he simply found the man too timid.
The Moon God took a while to digest this conclusion, continuing after a long moment, “When it comes to him and Li Hao, who do you think is more likely to become our future enemy?”
“It’s fifty-fifty for the moment!” laughed the man. “We have more trouble at hand apart from the two of them—Zhang An’s been looking for me all this time. He might find me soon, he has way too much time on his hands!”
“We can just kill him...”
“It won’t be that simple. Although he’s barely reached peak Saint and hasn’t touched Empyrean King, he’s not someone to run afoul of. He’s bided his time till present day. He knows that it might’ve just been a few years in New Martial, so he’s not in a hurry.
“Actually, Li Hao’s risen so quickly that what he should be worried about is that the young man will devour Silver Moon world and run off with it. That would be the end of his hopes for returning to New Martial. But instead, he’s busy making trouble for me. What a slow mover!
“Alright then, that’s enough of that. Let us wait! Li Hao is still too young and inexperienced for the moment. At present, our greatest threat is still that exalted emperor. No matter how strong the others are or how smart they are, they are hard pressed to overcome that one!”
