Chapter 1004: Some People are Terrified
Actually, both Sword Sect's Sect Master and Cao Chong, as well as Yu Xiyi and Yun Jianyue, could see very clearly that even though Chen Chao was currently pushing the Demon Emperor northward, this battle was still Chen Chao falling into a disadvantage.
Both of them were at the Fuyun Realm, and the Demon Emperor was already injured. But even so, Chen Chao was still far behind.
Yun Jianyue said worriedly, "Could it be that the Demon Emperor is deliberately showing weakness, only to counterattack and kill in one strike later?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiyi turned to look at the Sword Sect's Sect Master. Although he did not speak, the meaning in his eyes was very clear - he wanted an answer.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master glanced at Yu Xiyi and said, "It is not impossible. An existence like the Demon Emperor is powerful not only in cultivation realm, but in many other aspects as well. In a battle, he knows far too well when his opponent is at their weakest."
Yu Xiyi frowned and asked, "So you're saying Chen Chao this fellow, who seems so imposing right now, is actually being deliberately led on by the Demon Emperor? And when his momentum weakens, that will be the moment of final decisive battle?"
The Sword Sect's Sect Master said nothing. Some things were already obvious.
Cao Chong said, "Once it reaches that moment, with the Demon Emperor's experience and insight, he will not let the opportunity slip away."
He was also somewhat worried. Chen Chao was too young, how could he possibly contend with an old monster who had lived for several hundred years?
