Free Web NovelLiang Yan's body trembled slightly as she pushed her intestines back in while applying force with her fingertips, using her nails as needleheads to quickly stitch herself up.
Liang Li, after stitching up her own chest wound in the same manner, helped her sister sew the back of the perforated wound.
Liang Yan looked at her sister with an inquisitive gaze. Her own wound seemed more horrifying but wasn't actually fatal, whereas her sister's wound was near the heart.
Liang Li whispered quickly, "Lucky, grazed the vital spot."
After brutally handling their injuries, the sisters' clothes were stained a large patch of red with blood.
Zhao Yi looked at them, his expression somewhat indifferent.
If Li Zhiyuan needed to deliberately suppress his indifference and rely on acting to maintain normal interpersonal relationships, what Zhao Yi was doing was suppressing his excess desire to perform.
He was conflicted; theoretically, he just needed to rush forward voluntarily and let the Tomb Master kill him, and this matter would be concluded here.
But he didn't want to die; he wanted to live. Watching them like this, Zhao Yi's heart couldn't possibly remain unaffected, but he also hoped the Liang Sisters would continue to fight for their survival.
The disparity in treatment was obvious. Knowing about Sun Yan's death didn't stir Zhao Yi's heart at all.
Because of this, he felt a bit conflicted now.
Li Zhiyuan said, "Continue with your performance; they like being deceived by you."
These two women evidently possessed the skill to light their own lamp and travel Jianghu, yet they still got on Zhao Yi's boat; whether marrying or joining, they were deeply committed, instinctively not rational people, simply swayed by Zhao Yi's set ways.
Zhao Yi asked, "Are you okay?"
Liang Yan replied, "I'm fine."
Liang Li added, "Not dead yet."
Zhao Yi said, "I'll find a way to make sure you don't scar, otherwise my psychological pressure will be a bit high on the bed in the future."
Liang Yan cursed him, "Bastard."
Liang Li echoed, "Beast."
Despite the insults, the sisters stood up again.
The injuries just sustained weren't fatal but weren't light either, so now one was hunched, and the other was bent over.
They could still fight, but their combat strength was greatly reduced.
Yet when they moved from the back to the side again, it showed their stance.
Lin Shuyou turned his head slightly, looking at Zhao Yi. He thought the Three-eyed was practically a genius among beasts.
He was amazed and perplexed at the same time.
Zhao Yi turned his gaze back while saying to Li Zhiyuan, "I wasn't like this before."
Li Zhiyuan responded, "Hmm."
Zhao Yi continued, "All because of your family's old lady. Ever since she suggested it, I've increasingly felt out of sorts."
After a pause, Zhao Yi went on, "And you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be treating my subordinates…"
Li Zhiyuan asked, "What did you learn from me?"
Zhao Yi said, "You won."
It's a real struggle for Zhao Yi to voice learning to care for companions from someone without emotions. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The ability to have this kind of conversation was due to the Tomb Master being pushed back by Li Zhiyuan's power of array, but although he started heading this way, he still walked very slowly.
Though terrifyingly strong, he hadn't acted in a sweeping move like autumn leaves.
Zhao Yi said, "The first two sticks of incense might be said to grasp a kind of style, but for the dignity of the third stick of incense, it's impossible to stall intentionally wanting to enjoy the victor's thrill."
Li Zhiyuan replied, "He's apprehensive."
Zhao Yi said, "His eyes."
Facing the attack from the Liang Sisters earlier, every move of the Tomb Master first involved looking at the target.
Li Zhiyuan confirmed, "Exactly."
Zhao Yi added, "His eye's focus is limited…"
Li Zhiyuan explained, "Because according to the incense rule, his eyes should only have you in sight."
Zhao Yi queried, "Could it be, should we have actually gone all out?"
The act of probing in itself wasn't wrong; facing an unknown opponent, Zhao Yi would also begin with testing. He wasn't blaming Li Zhiyuan, but if it was really this way, then the boy's previous probing move amounted to sacrificing two crucial combat strengths.
Zhao Yi immediately stated, "No, it can't be this simple."
The Tomb Master kept advancing slowly, and as the distance closed, his intimidation grew more intense.
Li Zhiyuan commented, "His speed is too fast, even an all-out attack can be reacted to; in terms of cooperation and tacit understanding, who can match twins?"
Zhao Yi replied, "The head-turning motion being noticeable is because Liang Yan and Liang Li coordinated so well, they nearly synchronized perfectly." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Li Zhiyuan agreed, "Correct."
Zhao Yi said, "Right now, he's waiting for us to make a change. Slow steps initially can be understood, but after showing strength and still slowing down, he's apprehensive; his speed is actually very fast. If he rushed directly, coming at us, it would…"
Li Zhiyuan interrupted, "All-out strike."
In Zhao Yi's mind, he pictured the Tomb Master rushing over everyone, intending a crushing assault, and the only thing they could do in panic was instinctively launch a collective attack.
It seemed like circling back to the original problem, but that wasn't the case.
Zhao Yi said, "What he's wary of is multiple attacks coinciding at the same time, requiring a minimal error point."
If the Tomb Master charged to attack actively, it would very likely cause this scenario.
And if they went all out, it would follow the old tradition, with Run Sheng leading the charge, Lin Shuyou providing support, and Tan Wenbin causing interference…
The result would be from Run Sheng to Lin Shuyou and further, each person coming into contact with him would be resolved swiftly just like he treated the Liang Sisters previously.
Even with Li Zhiyuan mobilizing array assistance, it would only delay this slaughter process a little longer.
