Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Panda Novel

Also, although what Zhan Xiao Xiao had said seemed calm and sounds forceful, it had given away his defeated mental state. ‘You’re waiting for me? And intend to kill me?’ This sentence is essentially focused on the fact that the enemy intends to kill himself…

If he had arrived full of confidence, it should have been: ‘You’re finally not fleeing anymore? Did you choose to wait for your death here?’

Although the words were similar, but the meaning was worlds apart…

Jun Mo Xie could definitely be counted as a top psychologist in this world. Right now, although Zhan Xiao Xiao was masked, from his actions and tone, how could Jun Mo Xie not tell that this fellow had developed some qualms in his heart?

“Before we strike, I want to grumble a little. Your speed is truly too slow; no matter how I see it, I can’t tell you are a Saint Venerable!”

Jun Mo Xie’s hands were behind his back as he lightly sighed. Using a voice that didn’t allow people to gauge his age, he slowly said, “Earlier, for the sake of waiting for you, I couldn’t help but have to keep slowing down so many times, then increase my speed when we were making turns to shake you off… It has really been hard work leading you all the way here. Finally, I’ve found a suitable location to put an end to this meaningless game of tag!”

Since the enemy already has some apprehensions, then I shall kick it up a notch!

Zhan Xiao Xiao’s heart jolted. Could it be that this entire journey, it is not because I’ve chased him until he is tired and exhausted, fleeing for his life? But because the enemy already has schemed to lead me by my nose all the way here? And this choice of place is discovered by chance?!

“Haha… How amusing! When you said this sentence, did you forget how pathetic you were from my pursuit, practically left with no path ahead for you? With your mere strength, do you really have the right to be saying this?” Zhan Xiao Xiao laughed loudly.

“Did you really think, from this entire journey of pursuit, that my strength is only that of what I had displayed?”

Jun Mo Xie chuckled. “Let me ask you back. If this old man really intends to escape, with my methods, will you be able to stop me from joining the help that is on its way behind? If this old man joins forces with those back up, how confident are you in being able to retreat without sustaining any losses?”

“This… Maybe not!” Zhan Xiao Xiao was stumped. He was someone with status; he was not willing to speak without a conscience. So he could only reply with a ‘maybe not’. In fact, when he had heard this sentence, cold sweat began to trickle down his back!

Just from analyzing the opponent’s movement technique, this person’s prowess is definitely weaker than me. But it wouldn’t be that far off. Especially with his movement technique—he is outstanding. If he did not choose to flee for his life and turned around to join the help that was on the way, naturally I won’t be able to stop him… Then if Cao Guo Feng and Miao Jing Yun and the rest caught up, they could join forces to kill me… It is not that difficult for them!

This person definitely has the capability to trap me and allow himself to flee easily!

If that is the case, even if I want to escape, I’ll have to pay a hefty and significant price for it. And more importantly, there is a high chance of exposing my real identity!

But why didn’t he do that?

Could it be that he is this confident and certain that he will be able to defeat me?

Zhan Xiao Xiao raised his head and cackled. “Then why didn’t you do that?”

“As to why this old man did not do that? There are two reasons.” Jun Mo Xie turned around, his hands still behind his back. He turned about extremely slowly, gracefully, and calmly. Even Zhan Xiao Xiao felt that his act of turning about was very carefree and attractive…

Looks like the opponent really has no mental pressure.

When this thought appeared in Zhan Xiao Xiao’s mind, Jun Mo Xie suddenly increased his speed. His half-turned body had already turned around completely with a whoosh and he raised his head!

A pair of arrogant, condescending, cold piercing gaze locked into Zhan Xiao Xiao’s eyes!

Jun Mo Xie’s series of actions could be done in a smooth flow. And the amount of each action was done to perfection! With his posture, he arouse Zhan Xiao Xiao’s doubt. Then with a couple of sentences, he aroused his suspicions. When Zhan Xiao Xiao was asking in an interrogating manner, he suddenly turned around and locked gaze!

This was a classic case of gaining the upper hand by showing of strength!

Two enemy camps: if one side had doubts in their hearts, they were bound to falter, or at the every least, they wouldn’t be at their original peak! And during this period of time, he must have some other thoughts! This was a rare gap between thoughts!

If both parties exchanged blows that were mediocre in strength, then it didn’t matter!

But if both were invincible experts, then this opportunity was extremely rare! And ample enough to become the boundary that separated life and death!

In an exchange of blows between experts, especially experts who are of the same level, it is always a bad choice to compete in strength. Even a battle of wits is only considered mid-tier! Only the battle of might is the real battle!

Right now, they were battling their might!

Their auras!

With a couple of sentences and a few actions, Jun Mo Xie had already gained the upper hand! It seemed easy, but it was full of his precise mental manipulation and timing!

Not a single one of them must be lacking!

Zhan Xiao Xiao instantly felt that there were two dazzling rays of lightning that shot into his own eyes! The moment the opponent’s piercing gaze locked onto his!

It was like a bolt of lightning! It just came pressuring over! Instantly, he developed an urge to avoid the look!

Although Zhan Xiao Xiao ultimately did not close his eyes, he still couldn’t help but squint a little and moved back slightly! Then, he felt that he was showing his weakest in doing this and retreated that step!

All these were subconscious acts!

But this subconscious series of action had caused all that might that Zhan Xiao Xiao had gathered from his defeated mental state to completely crumble!

Zhan Xiao Xiao could distinctly see that when faced with this opponent, he had already fallen into a complete disadvantage, with no chance of turning it around! If this situation could not be altered, if he were to battle with an opponent who was on the same level, he could only bring out eighty percent of his strength!

When experts exchanged blows, life and death happened in an instant! The smallest difference was enough to cause a great disparity. Forcefully exchanging blows with a strong opponent when he was not in his full condition was basically giving his life to the opponent’s hands!

Zhan Xiao Xiao was a little anxious now!

“Two reasons? False bravado, hahaha…. Clearly it is because you are a coward! And afraid of death!” Zhan Xiao Xiao laughed mockingly. “Why must you try to cover up to save your own face? Escaping from me should be something glorious for you!”

Jun Mo Xie did not speak and did not rebuke it. He just silently stared at Zhan Xiao Xiao!

Zhan Xiao Xiao realized that there was a look of pity and mockery in the opponent’s eyes!

“Don’t look at me like that!” The naked mockery in the opponent’s eyes caused Zhan Xiao Xiao to feel an indescribable fury! And with that yell, Zhan Xiao Xiao realized that his emotions were unstable and he quickly controlled them! To be this absurd in your thinking when facing a strong enemy! That was an unforgivable act of asking for death…

“Can you believe what you just said? If it was not true, you would only be full of disdain. Why would you be this enraged?!” Jun Mo Xie’s gaze turned cold, with an eerie air of absolute power as he spoke condescendingly. “In fact, since I appeared, I had been taking the initiative! And you had never had the strength to alter anything about the situation! What you saw has always been my back view! And you are only worthy of seeing my back! If I did not wish for you to see me from the front, then you’d never be able to see it!”

What Jun Mo Xie had just said was completely redundant. He had been fleeing in front, and the enemy had been chasing from the back. He had never once managed to catch up—how could he not only see his back view? If he had seen from the front, then that would mean that he had successfully blocked his way and not pursuing him…

As to taking initiative… If someone who was fleeing didn’t hold the initiative… then he’d have been caught a long time ago…

If this was said earlier, Zhan Xiao Xiao will definitely snort and wouldn’t be bothered by it. But the effects were greatly different when it was said now, when Zhan Xiao Xiao’s mind was wavering!

Indeed, if the chasing earlier was a competition, the opponent had indeed been taking the initiative the entire time. Even until now, choosing to face off in a place like this… it was also his decision… otherwise, I’ll have to continue chasing all the way!

A Saint Venerable expert like me has been led by the nose for almost three thousand li!

Upon thinking here, Zhan Xiao Xiao’s entire body was covered in cold sweat and his inclination to battle already withered…

“Stop talking bullsh*t!” Zhan Xiao Xiao forcefully controlled his mind and his gaze gradually became sharp. “Victory and defeat is never determined from mere talk, but by fists! Let the two of us fight fairly!”

To be honest, Zhan Xiao Xiao no longer dared to listen to the opponent speak anymore.

The more the opponent spoke, the more he felt like his confidence was dropping!

“Why? A Saint Venerable of his generation doesn’t have the confidence to finish hearing what I have to say?” Jun Mo Xie laughed carefreely. The condescending look in his eyes increased. “Are you afraid?! Afraid that I will crumble your confidence with words? Afraid that you will be unable to fight afterwards and be defeated? Afraid that you will flee and run away before I’m done talking? From the way I see it, you are already unworthy of fighting me!”

“Bullsh*t! What use is there in talking so much! Show your moves!” Zhan Xiao Xiao cursed, having his thoughts guessed accurately by Jun Mo Xie.

“You are wrong… the battle between the both of us has already started a long time ago! In fact, from the moment the chase began, this battle already began!”

A warm and smiling expression appeared in Jun Mo Xie’s eyes. This friendly look had made Zhan Xiao Xiao feel like he had been used. Although he didn’t know why the enemy had suddenly changed the pressuring look in his eyes when he was in full advantage, he only felt slightly relieved…
