Chapter 800 - 581: Recruitment
As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot, falter on the second blow, and be exhausted by the third."
At this moment, Champion Marquis, Heavenly Might General, Daoist Qing Song, and Lord Black Mountain, these four experts arrived together, their presence imposing, like a heavenly punishment descending, intimidating the hearts of men. However, after a great fire burned down, their momentum was lost, leaving them dejected and battered, their arrogance dashed.
It can be said that the Wind Summoning Technique taught them humility, brightening their eyes significantly; even harsh words were hard to come by, and their lofty attitudes were reined in.
Facing Master Taiyi once more, their expressions had turned solemn, and wariness arose in their hearts.
"Who just shouted Taiyi Demon Path from within the clouds? If I’m a demon path, then what are you? Dead men without bodies, or perhaps spirits of a wooden creature?" Li Yi’s gaze was cold as he swept the Crown Prince Sword across them: "You think you few can destroy me? I really don’t know where you get the courage."
"Very well then, today this poor Daoist will show great benevolence and send you few on your way, saving you from causing trouble by beating drums and gongs in the streets later on."
As he spoke, he also scanned them, considering who to strike first when the fight broke out.
"Master Taiyi, with your strength, why betray the court? Why hunt and kill the Incense Fire Gods with three thousand Jinyi Guards? Wouldn’t it be better to serve as the Master Preceptor, enjoying the incense offerings of the world? If you are willing to bow your head, I am willing to take you back to admit your mistake to His Majesty. I believe Emperor Shenwu and Grand Ancestor Emperor will forgive your wrongs."
Champion Marquis Zhao Zhen Shan spoke, understanding that engaging with such a fierce character was not wise, and the best approach was to recruit.
On the battlefield, without knowing the enemy’s and allies’ strength, engaging in combat rashly is self-destruction.
He was not a brainless brute, only knowing how to fight; at critical moments, he could be flexible.
