Chapter 1386: The Troublemaker (III)
“Since the senior has already made a move and Zheng Yu’s offended you to the point of no return, can’t the senior hold him off for a bit?” Li Hao asked with resignation. “I know that the senior can’t kill him because of the cat’s presence, but pure defense without fighting back should be doable, right? Is the senior just going to sit back and watch?”
“......” Everyone was quiet.
Celestial Pole blinked with astonishment and nearly choked on his next breath. No one... had considered this course of action. In the eyes of powerhouses, he was as good as crippled when laboring under certain restrictions. Zheng Yu thought this way as well.
But Li Hao said... help me hold him off for a bit.
Yes you can’t kill him, but your physical body is so strong that even a half step emperor is hard pressed to match you. If you focus purely on defense, it will take him a while to break through, won’t it?
The young man was quite dejected. Celestial Pole... really was just standing on the sidelines and watching with his hands by his sides.
You’re already suffering, so why not suffer a little more and let someone beat you up? Can Zheng Yu kill you in an instant? If he could, he wouldn’t bother with all of these plots.
It was such a simple notion, but none of the powerhouses had ever considered this perspective. Differences in identity, strength, and knowledge induced them to naturally discard the idea of only defending.
When Celestial Pole spoke to the Great Li king, he made a great deal of sense. You can’t beat your opponents, but you can hold on for a while in defense.
Yet when it came to himself, he completely forgot the idea.
Celestial Pole’s expression abruptly shifted and he interposed himself between Li Hao and Zheng Yu.
“So it turns out that I can still defend!” he gritted his teeth. Despite the words being silly, he had no problem voicing them.
