Chapter 1601: Chapter 1548 – Chapter 1549 Retreat Foolish_2

It can be said that Mo Yang’s retreat this time seems to have been carried out intact, but in reality, it has doomed him to no longer qualify to confront Wan Fayi. As time passes, the gap between them will only widen.

“Huntian Hammer Mo Yang has retreated!”

Someone murmured in a low voice.

Indeed, as Wan Fayi had speculated, the two of them had fought for such a long time, with such intense fluctuations rippling around, that they had already attracted countless onlookers.

Especially when many people realized that the battling pair was none other than the renowned strong figures Wan Fayi and Huntian Hammer Mo Yang, this made many more people lurk around, watching their confrontation.

On one hand, they wanted to see what these two people’s trump cards were, and to determine who was stronger and who was weaker. On the other hand, there were also those who harbored the mentality of the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind, hoping to take advantage of the situation.

“Even he is no match for that Wan Fayi?” Huntian Hammer Mo Yang’s strength was also top-notch among these people, and there were hardly a few in the audience who could truly say their power surpassed his.

These people were hoping that even if Mo Yang could not defeat Wan Fayi, should the two engage in a life-and-death struggle, it would surely result in a situation where both would suffer harm, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, what they hadn’t anticipated was that although Mo Yang had been put at a disadvantage, he was not the stubborn sort who couldn’t adapt; he chose to flee outright. To them, this was unexpected, and quite unbecoming of a strong figure.

“After all, he is a strong figure who hails from the Shenxiao Sect, having been personally taught by the Longevity Taoist Monarch and set on the path of ‘All Laws Return to One.’ In Bai Xiaosheng and Sky Mechanism Pavilion’s evaluation, he’s considered a four-star fighter, and some even speculate that he’s actually scheming something, deliberately suppressing his own combat strength. Otherwise, reaching an even higher level of strength should not pose any problem,” someone said with a complex tone, unable to hide the thick envy in their words.

Born into a prestigious lineage, taught by a great master, and on a path with no obstacles ahead–just having one of these conditions would be something many strong figures would envy, let alone having them all.

If the most important factor in cultivation is one’s background, then without a doubt, Wan Fayi is the one with this incredible advantage, which no one else can have.

“All Laws Return to One, what a bold claim. Maybe the Longevity Taoist Monarch could achieve it, but for those who haven’t attained the rank of Tao-Certifying True Immortal to speak of ‘All Laws Return to One’, it is destined to be a difficult path to succeed in,” commented a strong figure with disdain.

Perhaps it was genuine disdain, or maybe it was jealousy–some believed that Wan Fayi’s achievements today were all reliant on the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and that with the guidance and teachings from the Longevity Taoist Monarch, even an ordinary person without any talent could have made it this far.

Of course, for such an attitude to be openly displayed, this strong figure must possess enough self-confidence, otherwise, they would not be qualified to appraise the other.

What’s more crucial is regarding the path of ‘All Laws Return to One.’ One must understand that although this path was proposed by the Longevity Taoist Monarch and recognized by many True Immortals,

even True Immortals wouldn’t dare to step onto this path lightly, as they are well aware that while this path has infinite potential, it is also a profound abyss.

Thus, it’s because of these True Immortals’ attitudes that many strong figures have since halted their progress, and many Supreme Strong figures, at the moment of solidifying their foundation, have given up on this path.

If everyone abandons this path and chooses not to take it, it proves that this choice is not a good one, a path that, while having possibilities, is not one these people can attempt.

However, Wan Fayi chose this path, a fearless choice filled with courage in the eyes of the Longevity Taoist Monarch. To other Supreme Strong figures who once had the opportunity to choose but ultimately gave up and took other paths, this undoubtedly highlights their lack of courage and the will to forge ahead.

Under such circumstances, if Wan Fayi were to fail, then so be it–it would merely prove that these people’s choices were correct, with long-term vision and wisdom.

But if Wan Fayi continues to progress on this path, the greater his achievements, the farther he goes, the more it means that these people are blind to jewels–having lost their chance due to cowardice.

Many powerful individuals focus solely on themselves, unconcerned with such idle chatter, believing it to be meaningless, and their formidable strength justifiably silences many.

Yet, the temperament of the strong varies greatly, and not all are indifferent. On the contrary, they care deeply, harboring intense animosity towards Wan Fayi, itching for the chance to suppress him personally, which would clear their minds and perfect their mental state.

“Disperse! There’s nothing more to see. If he comes to his senses, it may become difficult to leave!” someone whispered.

Wan Fayi’s recent epic battle with Mo Yang seemed to have drained him, but for real powerhouses, such exhaustion is negligible. They could recover in a brief moment, even instantaneously under special circumstances, given their countless trump cards and simple techniques.

With Wan Fayi’s abilities, not even Mo Yang could match him. Once the other reacts, none present would stand a chance, and lingering could turn them into points or fodder for him.

“With so many of us here, what’s there to fear? Even if Wan Fayi is formidable, he can’t possibly quell us all at once,” someone said coldly.

Numerous hidden onlookers surrounded the area, and since the beginning, they had refrained from attacking each other in a tacit understanding, considering the possibility of joining forces against Wan Fayi.

Among them were many strong individuals, several of whom were no less capable than the recently departed Mo Yang, some even stronger. Confident in their solo prowess against Wan Fayi, they felt entitled to spectate.

Being the opportunist requires sufficient strength; lacking the power could lead not to profit but to being counter-killed.

Thus, with so many powerhouses together, Wan Fayi would be wise to retreat, let alone dare to attack them–such arrogance!

“Fools!” someone sneered softly.

Clearly, some disdained this idea and did not endorse such a plan.

“Can you guarantee that everyone here is willing to oppose Wan Fayi? With the vast influence and numerous disciples of Shenxiao Lineage, who can be sure there aren’t any among us, or someone seeking to curry favor with Shenxiao, using you as their stepping stone?” someone remarked coldly.

Indeed, the multitude of strong figures here vastly outpowered Wan Fayi, easily subduing not just one but even two of him.

However, that depends on everyone’s willingness to cooperate. Can they truly join hands?

Ridiculous!

The idea that these people could cooperate without reservation is laughable.

Trust is not easily established, and even acquainted individuals rarely cooperate without holding back, let alone these strangers.

Not only are they strangers to each other, but they are also competitors and adversaries, making true, unreserved cooperation extremely challenging.

Moreover, with so many powerful individuals here, everyone presumes the others are opportunists, waiting to swoop in as the lucky victor.

But who can assure that none here are disguised Shenxiao Sect Disciples, masquerading as opportunists among them?
