Chapter 199
The pale green paper crane danced energetically, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, and the voice it transmitted was also quite calm . Nevertheless, it caused everyone to feel a chill running down their backs .
After having scared the hell out of everyone to the point that they were all drenched in cold sweat, he continued:
"However, if Chaos Edge Hall forgoes hunting me down and engages in full-scale war with Iron Fist Club instead, then I will attack the Iron Fist Club members with all I’ve got until the outcome is no longer a foregone conclusion!"
"The reason is quite simple . Among all three of us, the Iron Fist Club is the most powerful . Only if the two of us align ourselves together and weed out Iron Fist Club will we have a chance of victory!"
"Zhao Tianchong, and friends of the Chaos Edge Hall, as long as you stand where I stand and calmly think, you will realize that I am not necessarily deceiving you; this is the only method for me to improve my chance of winning!"
"After Iron Fist Club is eliminated, my chance of winning may increase from 0 to 10%, while your chance of winning will increase from 0 to 90% . If we formed an alliance, it would be way better for the Chaos Edge Hall!"
"I rest my case here . Now the outcome of the match in is your hands, ladies and gentlemen . As for where we go from here, it all depends on your decision!"
The paper crane slightly shook as it slowly floated down to the ground .
In everybody's eyes, it seemed as though a thousand kilogram boulder had been smashed onto their hearts, causing a great stir .
Whereas at every corner of the campus, everyone watching this scene through the hologram had long since been dumbfounded .
Before the start of the match, everyone had proposed countless strategies which Li Yao could employ . Many people believed that the only way for the Li Yao to win was to propagate dissent and discord, setting a spark between the Iron Fist Club and Chaos Edge Hall in advance .
However, no one had ever imagined that driving a wedge could be done in such a fair and square way!
The Devil Fist Sect's Elder, Bai Mushen, slightly frowned:
"This tactic is… somewhat despicable, right?"
Most of the body practitioners were straightforward . They had always advocated physical strength and head-on confrontation, and had always been less interested in scheming and such .
Whereas the eyes of the Hundred Saber Alliance's vice president, Long Wenhui, burst forth with a sharp gleam as he smiled and said:
"From the start, Student Li Yao is playing the role of an evil expert . These kinds of tactics totally sync with his identity . And most of all, it's 1 vs . 2,000, how can he win without being a bit despicable?"
Meanwhile, as far as the said victims of all this debacle who were presently at the center of the jungle were concerned, the so-called "despicable" tactic of Li Yao wasn't as simple as it seemed .
Even before the paper crane landed on the ground, the Chaos Edge Hall members already had an ugly complexion .
Everyone whispered to each other:
"Is he serious? Doesn't he just want to drag our Chaos Edge Hall members into a fight? Isn't this bullying? What have we done wrong? Why does he have enmity with us?"
"Of course, it is serious . It's 1 vs . 2,000 . He made it quite clear that if he dies, he will drag a few of us down with him . What is so strange about that?"
"Didn't you hear what he said at the end? As long as we fight with the Iron Fist Club, he will stand by us!"
"Thinking about it, he is indeed right . Our overall strength is weaker than that of the Iron Fist Club . Even if they paid heavy price to capture him, in all likelihood, we still could not endure the wanton attacks of the Iron Fist Club!"
"We might as well form an alliance with him first and eliminate the Iron Fist Club . . . even if we are only left with 100 people, I think we can capture a single person, yeah?"
"What do you think, is this jade chip authentic?"
"Who knows! There is a 99% chance that it is false, but what if it is authentic? Maybe it’s the so-called, ‘when false is taken for true, true becomes false[1] . ’ Li Yao is so treacherous . Maybe he has brazenly placed the real jade chip here, and wants us to think that it is false . When we are finished fighting with each other, he will boldly come back and retrieve the jade chip . Wouldn't it be very retarded of us to leave it here?"
"No matter whether it is real or false, let's take the jade chip first and take it to the base to check it; if it's false, we will throw it away, and if it's real, we will keep it!"
Along with the whisperings of Chaos Edge Hall members, the members of the Iron Fist Club knowingly or unknowingly drew close to each other and caressed their spirit tattoos, drawing every strand of their steel-like muscles taut . They each entered a battle state so that they could activate their spirit tattoos at moment's notice .
"Hey, something doesn't feel right, I feel that the opposite party's murderous aura is getting more and more intense!"
"Nonsense, didn't you hear what Li Yao said? If you were a member of Chaos Edge Hall, would you still cooperate with us if you knew you will lose without a doubt?"
"It seems that they are ready to attack us at moment notice . How about we attack first and take the initiative?"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Numerous gazes turned towards Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan .
Lu Tieshan's complexion looked bleak . A soybean-sized drop of sweat even had oozed out on his forehead as he spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Zhao Tianchong, you can't walk into his trap . This is clearly a trap, I can bet that there is 99% chance that this jade chip being false . Are you going to fight with us over a false jade chip!?"
Zhao Tianchong's eyebrows twitched as he stressed each and every word:
"Of course I know this is Li Yao's scheme . This jade chip is most likely false, but in any case, Li Yao is right: if he targeted our Chaos Edge Hall, we would lose no doubt . Lu Tieshan, tell me, why should we work together?"
Lu Tieshan rolled his eyes in circles as he hastily said:
"How about our Iron Fist Club takes the front line? If someone is going to die, it will be us . Is this good enough to show our sincerity?"
Zhao Tianchong sneered:
"If you are the vanguard, then Li Yao would be captured by you, meaning the jade chip will also be acquired by you . We would still lose, wouldn't we?"
Lu Tieshan was tongue-tied .
He came to realize that this hand of Li Yao’s was quite good . Li Yao was simply unafraid of it being seen through .
It was not a conspiracy, but at the same time, it was!
Zhao Tianchong coldly said:
"Lu Tieshan, I have a suggestion . Let's see if you have the courage to go through with it!
