However, at this moment, they did not see the phenomenon that should have been there. They felt that Xianyao would now be regretting and fearing his actions to satisfy their twisted desires.
But clearly, the current state of Xianyao cannot fulfill their wishes as he does not show any signs of regret or fear but rather a calmness and composure. Perhaps it's because even in dire situations, he wouldn't be afraid or retreat, or perhaps because there is no reason for him to feel regret or fear since he isn't truly cornered.
For this matter, Feng Hai and the others naturally chose the former, believing that Xianyao was merely pretending to be calm instead of having any chance of escape.
Feng Hai and his team had already set up enough personnel. Regardless of which direction Xianyao chooses to flee, there would always be someone ready to intercept him. They felt quite confident about this.
However, this was merely their own thoughts. They believed that a mere Rank One Warrior like Xianyao, even if he knew some skills, couldn't possibly win in such direct confrontations and must surely be captured.
But then again, if Xianyao could escape under the prowess of the Grand Princess—a peerless martial artist—then despite these numerous people (which still add up to less than half a finger of the Grand Princess), who are dispersed and might only equal one finger of the Grand Princess in strength from any given direction, there is no denying that Xianyao has absolute chances of breaking out of this encirclement.
Yet he didn't choose to do so. This wasn’t him waiting for a chance; such an opportunity would be better taken sooner rather than later as the moment people form a tight circle, opportunities will become smaller.
Xianyao's decision not to escape earlier indicates that he wants to stay. And why did he want to stay The answer is coming soon!
"Brat, keep running! Where do you think you can run to now"
"I don’t wish to run anymore. I’ll rest a bit here as I still have a long journey ahead," Xianyao put away his bow which made Feng Hai and the others even more reassured. Without a bow, Xianyao’s danger level is much lower for them.
"A long journey Yes, you indeed do have to go on one—the Yellow Springs Road!" Feng Hai sneered.
"The Yellow Springs Road I am not destined to tread that path yet. According to my fate, I still have quite a few years left before I walk that road. But in two or three hundred years, perhaps I might take it. However, today, I can send you there," Xianyao said with a smile.
"You’re long-lived Even if your destiny is correct, I can rewrite it! Tomorrow will be your忌日 (the day of death)!" Feng Hai sneered.
"Going along with the Heavenly Mandate, one’s fate isn’t something that can be rewritten easily. If you insist on rewriting it, there would certainly be a price to pay!" Xianyao said with a smile, as if talking about arcane arts but actually implying that anyone who wants to kill him will have to face consequences.
"Then I’ll see what kind of price it is!" Feng Hai sneered, and at this moment they had already tightened their encirclement. At such a point, Xianyao’s escape was even more difficult; thus, they felt that he was now like a fish in a barrel!
"Didn’t I tell you just now I will send you to the Yellow Springs Road," Xianyao replied.
“You’re really asking for death!” Feng Hai and others roared angrily. Xianyao's words were too provocative.
"I did say that. I’m long-lived, I wouldn’t seek death! Please listen carefully; otherwise this is an impolite behavior!" Xianyao said very seriously.
This sentence certainly isn't weaker than others and remains as provoking!
“Kill him!”
The entire scene erupted in fury!
"Killing is definitely a must, but I want to figure out one thing: who are you" Feng Hai still cared about this question. Without finding out clearly, he would not rest in peace; that's right, this wasn't an overstatement.
“I’m called Xianyao, just a household servant,” Xianyao answered.
"Go to hell! Who would believe your nonsense!" Someone immediately roared angrily.
"If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do. Sometimes the truth isn't believed," Xianyao waved his hand and said casually.
"You are already at death's door; what is the point of telling lies If you were a household servant, how could you possibly use such potent poison or set traps How could you have mastered archery" Feng Hai snorted coldly. He completely disbelieved Xianyao.
"How else Of course I learned it!" Xianyao said offhandedly.
“Why would a household servant learn these things It’s clearly unreasonable!” Feng Hai said coldly.
“Strange, why can’t a household servant learn these skills Which law stipulates that Being a household servant is very competitive; if you don't learn more, it's easy to be dismissed! Look, despite learning so much, I was still kicked out by my master, so I need to learn even more!” Xianyao said.
“...” Everyone fell silent. Xianyao’s explanation seemed reasonable, but none of them had ever heard or thought about a household servant needing such knowledge.
"Later on, I realized that learning alone might not be enough; one needs to practice more and venture out into the world as they say, 'read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles'!" Xianyao smiled and continued.
"Are you really going to act like this till the end"封海無論如何也不相信逍遙的說法，但現在他覺得逍遙已經認定了這種說法不會再改變，這讓他覺得逍遙要死撐到底。
"You are a strange person, why do you think I am pretending to be stupid Actually, I am really stupid…"Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Because I am playing games with a bunch of fools."
"Kid! You dare say that we're fools!" A group roared.
"Of course it's you!" Xiaoyao laughed. His attitude could drive the people around him crazy.
“F*ck, do you still maintain your arrogance at this moment We are surrounding you now, who is a fool”
"Is that so Is that really so" Xiaoyao smiled in amusement. This smile made some of the people around him feel uneasy.
“Firstly!” Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and raised one finger, “I am not someone who is at death’s door! The ones who are truly at death’s door are you guys! And it was never you all surrounding me. It was actually I luring you here!!”
“What!”
Xiaoyao's smile and words left everyone confused. What did he mean when he said he lured them over Did that mean the path of retreat just now wasn’t because of his own pressure, but rather a deliberate attempt to lure them here
If this was true, then it would be too clever of him. None of them had noticed his intentions; they hadn't thought for a second he was deliberately luring them over. After all, most of the time it felt like they were forcing him.
This is what made things strange: it clearly seemed like they forced him here, but how could that be possible Their own thoughts were proactive rather than passive!
Actually, sometimes people couldn't even distinguish between active and passive. Xiaoyao merely utilized some clever lures to make the other party think they should take action on their own accord. This kind of lure wasn’t obvious; no one would notice it or feel like they were being forced.
This is how he had brought everyone over here, even making them unaware that everything was under his control!
If this were true, wouldn’t that mean there’s a trap
“Let's go! Quickly retreat!!”
The moment the idea of a trap dawned on him, Fuhai's eyes lit up and he immediately abandoned his horse to fly back.
If Xiaoyao had brought everyone here, then it was clear that everything had been set up. He had prepared a trap right there which could eliminate all these people. While talking, he was also stalling for time. Since the other side wanted to talk, he naturally decided to cooperate with them.
"It's too late now. Let me show you what a heaven-roofing earth-net looks like!" Xiaoyao laughed and his voice reached everyone around him. He spoke but made no movements, because it wasn’t necessary for him to do anything.
This trap had already been set in motion; he didn't need to do anything at all now as the trap would take care of all these people. He believed this was an inevitable result.
The previous one had just been temporary, but this trap was meticulously prepared after a lot of time and effort!
“Ahh!”
“Ahhh!”
As Xiaoyao's voice echoed through the area, cries of agony began to ring out incessantly. The entire ground was covered in traps that differed in methods and directions, but all were lethal.
Furthermore, these traps seemed independent but actually linked together; some traps might be lures on one side and attacks on another, while others could start with an attack and end up as a siege.
This area was full of intricately designed traps that complemented each other to form a terrifying heaven-roofing earth-net. Everyone was trapped in the center, unable to escape—no one!
Such a trap couldn't simply be called a trap; it was an extremely lethal formation!
In this situation, if someone witnessed it, they wouldn’t believe that such a trap could be set by just one person. Even the most proficient experts in mechanisms and traps would only admire how ingenious these traps were, at a level beyond their reach.
Let alone one person; even with many people working together, they couldn't set up something like this!
If it had taken just an evening to complete, then it would be impossible for them to believe. Even if they saw the entire process, they wouldn’t believe it.
At the same time, they believed that no one could escape from this lethal formation here because it was simply impossible. Not only were the strongest among these people just at the early stage of the King Realm, but even those at the late stage or peak of the Emperor Realm might be exterminated by such a trap.
After the mechanisms and traps had completed their function, the surrounding area was chaotic with remnants of the traps scattered everywhere along with corpses. This was normal since Xiaoyao didn’t have the ability to make these things clean themselves up yet.
