Chapter 1573: Suppress First, Boost Later
Li Yao’s words were simply too arrogant, especially to those top-tier experts who were itching to tear him apart.
This was practically rubbing their faces into the dirt repeatedly, and yet they had no way to fight back.
Li Yao had first killed the Faceless Apostle, showcasing his sharp judgment and skill. Then, in a domineering counterattack, he ambushed a top-tier expert who attempted to sneak attack him, further demonstrating his power and tactics.
Now, the Flying Demon had been slain, and Edward had only managed to escape through self-detonation, leaving him clearly in a weakened state. Judging by his condition, it looked like he wouldn’t be able to participate in the subsequent battles.
Additionally, Edward had revealed his trump card, likely ruining his chances of claiming a first kill. Without Edward, the odds had significantly decreased.
The remaining experts, who were still aiming to secure a position, were struck with fear. It wasn’t that they were truly afraid of Li Yao—after all, this was just a game and not a life-or-death situation.
But this was a dungeon where the first kill was up for grabs. They started to realize that their opportunities to attack Li Yao and seize his spoils were running out. Many of them wisely chose to give up.
Those who couldn’t quite let go also didn’t dare act recklessly. They could only watch as Li Yao slowly stored the spoils from the Touch of Darkness into his backpack.
