Chapter 1159 : Weakness of the Stealth Kills Technique!
Before they set out, Jun Mo Xie had given everyone a Heaven Reversal Pill to preserve their lives. But right now, they were still forcefully enduring the pain from their injuries. Because all of them felt that these light injuries were still far from needing the effects of the Heaven Reversal Pills!
We can still endure; now is still not the time to use the divine pills!
On the other side, the strange races who had always been famed for being brutal and bloodthirsty were all showing looks of shock and fear in their eyes. This included Deku Bu Shang who had been watching from the back as well!
Originally, Deku Bu Shang thought that he had already given an overly high estimation of the Bear tribes’ strength. But never would he have imagined that his evaluation had still been too low!
With a flap of its powerful wings, the first one to finish restoring its condition, the Eagle King flew over and landed before Big Bear. The Eagle King’s cultivation was the most profound among the Eagle tribe, and naturally recovered the fastest.
Big Bear made a sound in his throat and transmitted his voice. “What are you doing?”
“You are still too temperamental!” Eagle King snorted coldly: “The mission that Eldest sister and Brother-in-law gave us was to hold on for as long as possible! To obstruct the progression of the strange races’ army! But just a random trash that appeared was enough to make you angry and pit injuries against injuries against it. How many lives do you have to play with your opponent like that? We can die, but we still need to at least wait until the backup army arrives before we are allowed to die! Before they reach here, we must not die no matter what! What we need to do now is to delay for as long as possible! Only by living can we stop the strange races from marching into the Xuan Xuan Continent!
Big Bear opened and closed his mouth several times, finally lowering his head and mumbling, “You’re right, I was too blinded by rage just now!”
This admittance of his mistake had truly opened up a new page in history. This was the mighty Bear King of Tian Fa, Big Bear! For the first time in history, this was the first time he’d actually admitted that he had been wrong!
“Since we’re going to fight a long battle, we need to first be able to rein our tempers in.” Eagle King’s eyes shone as he added. “We still have the eight great Saint Venerable seniors behind us. Apart from our own people, there’s no way for the enemies to know about this. This is also our strongest trump card. Although those strange races are many, they have very limited true experts. As long as we do not break ranks and remain calm, we can definitely hold on.”
“Yes!” Big Bear was completely convinced as he nodded. “I’ll just listen to you then. Keke, little eagle, you’re truly something else. That brain of yours is truly sly and scheming ah, I hadn’t noticed this in the past before!”
“Who are you calling sly? Your sister is sly! This is called intelligent, understand?!” Eagle King rolled his eyes and looked at this muscle headed fellow speechlessly. “Have you discovered, after that battle, we’ve already exposed a grave weakness of those strange races. Or rather, it’s a flaw that we can take advantage of.”
“Weakness? Flaw? Quick, say it more clearly!” Big Bear raised his brows and asked hurriedly.
“The ones who fought the strange races was your Bear Tribe, and the ones who came out with the overwhelming victory was also you all! Now, as the king of the Bear Tribe, you actually hadn’t discovered anything? Could it be that the heads of you bears are really all filled with muscles!” Eagle King slapped his forehead and sighed: “The so-called weakness is that those experts of the strange races, the ones who can conceal themselves, are not suitable for chaotic large scale battles.”
“Hm? Those fellows who could conceal themselves are not suitable for large scale battles? That can’t be right? Weren’t our brothers wounded by those stealth guys? The one-sided slaughter had only begun after they’d backed off!” Big Bear retorted, quite clearly not having noticed this point.
Eagle King snorted and continued with a dark expression. “I’m not saying that they cannot participate in chaotic battles, but that their Stealth Kills technique is not suitable for chaotic battles.”
After some thought, Eagle King added another sentence: “More specifically, that mysterious concealment technique exposes them to more dangers in large scale chaotic battles!”
“What does that mean!?” Big Bear widened his eyes, feeling somewhat confused. “Take this King for example, I fight exactly the same way whether it’s a one-on-one fight or a chaotic battle. I’ve heard of any experts that are only strong on single fights and becomes useless in chaotic battles are useless. What kind of reason is that? What are you talking about?”
“You stupid bear! You retarded bear! It’s too kind to say that your head is all filled with muscles; your brain is simply a lunk of rock! A rock! It can’t even move a single bit!” Eagle King nearly leapt up and down on the spot in anger. What can a fellow with a rock for brains understand? It’s truly too much of a waste of his saliva to talk to him ah! As he thought here, Eagle King was even more impressed with Jun Mo Xie now. How come this dumb bear could always understand when Brother-in-law talks to it? This old eagle has wasted several hundred years just trying to talk sense to this bear ah...
After fuming for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and transmitted. “I was talking about... their stealth techniques! Understand?”
“You fellow are the one with muscles for brains! How would I not know that you were talking about their stealth techniques? But is that even related?” Big Bear said unhappily. “Your words were all over the place, without any hint of logic! I’ve never heard that stealth techniques cannot be used for large scale fights... The grand battle is right before us, and the enemies are growing more and more plentiful. Yet, you’re here talking about these nonsensical stuff. If the best timing for battle was delayed, what should we do? Brother, little eagle, please put your good brains to proper use alright? If you can’t do that, just step to the side and watch how this elder brother kill.”
“You’re actually talking to me about missing the opportune moment to fight?! I-I... I’m going to f*cking spit out a mouthful of blood!” Eagle King was on the verge of a mental collapse. “You’re the f*cking king of a tribe ah! But apart from keeping nonsense in your brain, is there really nothing else? Didn’t you notice that nearly 30 Hell Enduring Ghosts died by your blades just now? Do you know what that means?”
“Of course!” Big Bear said arrogantly. “That naturally means that our Bear Tribe contributed greatly to the war! How would this King not know?”
“F*ck, who’s talking with you about contributions... En, since you managed to notice it, you actually did not see that obvious weakness?!” Eagle King widened his eyes with disbelief: “Fourth brother... y-you... you’re my dear brother ah!”
“Bullsh*t!” Big Bear rolled his eyes: “We’re obviously brothers, could it be that you didn’t take me as a brother normally? If that’s the case, you little twat is too much!”
“I give up, I truly give up...” Eagle King felt like crying. “I’ll be honest with you, please spare me ah.”
Big Bear was completely speechless.
“I’ll explain it to you bit by bit, then. Look, most of the 30 Hell Enduring Ghosts that died were low level Hell Enduring Ghosts. A small portion, about four, or five, are middle level Hell Enduring Ghosts. The middle level ones roughly have strength equivalent to Venerables. If not for those guys, I might not have been able to tell at all. But... according to the standards of the Venerables in our Xuan Xuan Continent, no matter how weak a Venerable is, they wouldn’t be so weak to the point of being killed in just a few slices. But these strange races still died; that point is undoubtedly very illogical.”
Eagle King’s voice turned quicker and more urgent. “That Xiachuan Po Gua whom you exchanged blows with a moment ago, was also around the level of middle level Hell Enduring Ghosts. While it could be considered to be ranked somewhat higher, it shouldn’t be by much. Yet, that fellow could still force you into a passive state with nearly no opportunity to attack. How awe-inspiring and incisive was that?”
“Ah, I understand...” The Bear King’s eyes widened!
“You understand? But I haven’t even finished yet!” Eagle King gasped with disbelief. Did this fourth brother of his suddenly become clever?
“After talking for so long, you little fellow is just using a roundabout manner to criticize me! You’re complaining that I couldn’t handle that little piece of trash and are here to goad at me! Damn it, you didn’t experience the annoyance of dealing with that invisible little f*cker, so you don’t know how it had been for me. It’s easy to talk and judge while standing from the sidelines. F*ck, if you have the abilities, why don’t you go and try it for yourself...” Big Bear growled unhappily.
“Ah? Big brother, what kind of understanding is this considered? Stop messing around, let me finish speaking. Based on what I said earlier, there were at least four or five enemies with that kind of strength among those who were killed just now. Can you believe that with just the strength of those guys under you, that they could kill them so simply, even cutting down 20, 30 with ease? And on our side, there wasn’t even a single casualty, and nobody even lost their ability to continue fighting. You should know the strength of your own men very well. It can’t be that all of them are also Saint Emperors like you right?!”
“You’re right! Now that you mentioned it... there seems to be something strange about it.” Big Bear finally understood. Raising his brows, he wondered in deep thought. “So what can be the reason?”
“Aiya, my dearest brother, stop trying to think about it. By the time you manage to think it through, the next War for Seizing the Heavens would have started!” Eagle King rolled his eyes and snapped. “Let me tell you the whole thing directly.”
“If I guess boldly, these strange races, even the high level ones, need to pay a large price to make use of the Stealth Kills technique!”
Eagle King said those words slowly. “And that price is most likely that they need to sacrifice their defense! In other words, the Xuan Qi protecting them is lowered to the lowest point the moment they use that technique! Although they can completely conceal themselves and confuse the enemy, even allowing them to attack at will, the moment they suffer any attacks, even a coincidental bump, it would result in huge damages! This is especially more pronounced against opponents much more powerful than them. The moment they get hit, it will be a heavy injury. If they came up against an opponent who used self detonation to catch them, they would definitely pay with their lives. This is unlike us who can take on the self detonation of a weaker opponent and survive by relying on our external defensive Xuan Qi to soak up the damage!
“Apart from that, this matter does not have any other logical explanations.” Eagle King snorted coldly as a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. “Otherwise, even if those experts were affected by the stray energy ripples in the chaotic battle just now, they should be able to avoid any injuries with just their cultivation of a Venerable. And even if they made a mistake and received a direct hit, they shouldn’t die in a single strike. No matter how coincidental it is, it shouldn’t be possible for them to die in large patches of 20, 30 experts in a few attacks!”
