âI believe in your foresight and know what I can do. Even if you were to change to another representative, they wouldnât do better than me,â Jiang Yan said without fear.
âRanked second last on the Cube, the destruction of Skysplit Tower. Even the federal government canât be fully controlled. Is this what you can do?â the figure of light said disdainfully.
âWhatâs so important about controlling the federal government? Whatâs the point of me controlling the federal government? Even the Holy Temple hasnât been able to completely control the six families that we really need to control after so many years, much less me, who has only controlled the League of Guardians for a few years.â
After a pause, Jiang Yan continued, âThe Cubeâs current ranking doesnât mean anything. If Iâm willing, I can be ranked in the top three now, but so what if Iâm in the top three? My goal is first place, and itâs the same for you, isnât that so? Without first place, itâs useless no matter how high my ranking is. Therefore, I need more time to observe. Of course, if you are willing to provide me with potent strength, I believe it wonât be difficult for me to reach first place now.
âAs for the destruction of Skysplit Tower, itâs indeed my fault. However, from the fact that Skysplit Tower can be destroyed, you should be able to understand what kind of enemy Iâm facing. You should have seen human powerhouses like Human Sovereign and Deceit King through the Cube. Itâs very difficult for Terror-grade powerhouses to fight such a human powerhouse. Itâs not that I donât want to do anything, but our strength is indeed lacking.â
âWhat else do you want? A Calamity-grade Guardian? If I can send a Calamity-grade Guardian into Earth, what do I need you for? Even if I were to give you a pig, it could sweep through all of humanity,â the figure said coldly.
âIf thatâs what you think, please wait a moment and decide if you want to change the spokesperson after watching everything.â Jiang Yan wasnât affected by the figure of light, still looking indifferent.
âWhat do you want me to see?â the figure asked with a frown.
âA human. My opponent,â Jiang Yan answered.
âHuman Sovereign or Deceit King? You want me to help you deal with them? Thatâs your job to begin with. Otherwise, what would I need you for?â the figure said indifferently.
âNeither.â Jiang Yan cast his gaze outside Skysplit Tower. At that moment, there seemed to be a strange change happening clandestinely outside Skysplit Tower. After taking a look, Jiang Yan continued, âOneâs strength dictates what they can do. I can deal with a single Human Sovereign. Even with another Deceit King, I can also think of a solution, but what if there are more and more humans like them? Donât you think that the help you provide isnât as useful as you imagine in front of such humans?â
âAre you joking? How many humans like Human Sovereign and Deceit King can you find?â the figure said unhappily.
âI donât know how many there are, but one has already arrived,â Jiang Yan said calmly as he looked into the distance.
The figure couldnât help but follow Jiang Yanâs gaze and indeed, he saw something flying over from afar.
On careful look, he immediately realized that a banana leaf that resembled a tiny boat was slowly sliding across the sky. The sky resembled water, like a boat cruising across the sky.
At the stern of the ship, a beautiful girl dressed in muslin clothes that made her look like a fairy was waving her sleeves like a boatman rowing a boat.
A young man stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the unfinished Skysplit Tower.
âIsnât that human the one who relied on luck to clear the Venusian dimensional zone? Donât tell me that you canât even deal with such a person and you want me to help you? If thatâs the case, your existence has no more value,â the figure recognized Zhou Wen and snorted coldly.
âThereâs no rush. Keep watching,â Jiang Yan said.
Upon realizing Zhou Wenâs appearance, Blood Shaman, Cave Era, and Uesugi Naoâs hearts tightened. However, when they saw that Zhou Wen was alone, they heaved a sigh of relief. The girl who had carried him over was a Companion Beast.
âZhou Wen, you actually dare come here?â Cave Era stared at Zhou Wen and said through gritted teeth.
With Hermit killed, Zhou Wen could be considered the archenemy of the League of Guardians. Cave Era yearned to skin him alive.
Zhou Wen smiled without a word. He stood on the banana leaf and observed Cave Eraâs expression, hoping to guess her thoughts.
The thoughts Truth Listener could hear needed to be from extremely intense psychological fluctuations. If not for the emotional upheavals, Truth Listener would hardly be able to hear their thoughts.
Furthermore, even if he could hear them, it was only an ability. What Zhou Wen needed wasnât just an ability, but innate sharp senses and the ability to manipulate the enemyâs state of mind. Just knowing what the enemy was thinking wasnât enough.
Therefore, Zhou Wen still needed to rely on himself to reach the realm of Heart Slaying.
As he observed Cave Eraâs words and actions and the minute expressions on her face, Zhou Wen realized many things that he hadnât noticed before.
It turned out that a personâs emotions werenât what he had imagined. Although their facial expressions were the most varied, their body language was richer than their expressions when it came to emotions.
Apart from anger, it was difficult to see any other emotions on Cave Eraâs face. However, from her body language, he could interpret more.
For example, Zhou Wen noticed something. Although Cave Era was expressing her anger, her legs were in a posture of retracting. This wasnât a sign of a preparatory attack. At the very least, her posture wasnât beneficial for attacking.
From this, it could be inferred that Cave Era was subconsciously afraid of Zhou Wen.
Of course, this was something that ordinary people with meticulous sensitivity could tell. It wasnât difficult for Zhou Wen to notice this. It wasnât that easy to improve further by perfectly interpreting oneâs thoughts through body language.
Furthermore, Zhou Wen didnât know if this was the right path. Regardless, it was a good start. With a goal, no matter if the path was right or wrong, the scenery along the way was a boon.
Seeing Zhou Wen remain silent as he stood on the banana leaf that resembled a tiny boat and looking down at her with a teasing expression, she couldnât help but be enraged. âShoot him down. This place isnât a place for an outsider to act all presumptuous.â
After the dozens of Terror-grade Guardians gathered nearby received the order, they began gathering their strength to strike Zhou Wen down from the sky.
What should I do to make my opponent feel a fear worse than death?
?Zhou Wenâs mind raced as invisible sword beams appeared.. They appeared and disappeared like shimmering stars that instantly filled the nearby space, enveloping the entire area near Skysplit Tower.
