ook 1 Chapter 28: Stab Zhang Yang to death!
“How is this possible? How is this possible? How could you know what I wanted to do…?” Zhang Yang was looking at Bai Yunfei in stupefaction as if he had lost all of his strength.
Looking down at his stupefied expression, Bai Yunfei curved the corners of his mouth downwards and shook his head gently, saying: “You mean, I ‘couldn’t have’ seen through your movements? Having fallen into this situation, you’re still so arrogant…”
Hearing Bai Yunfei’s taunting words, Zhang Yang trembled slightly. He looked at him somewhat dejectedly and said in a hoarse voice: “Tell me, how did you find out?”
Bai Yunfei stared at him with a vague smile. Zhang Yang looked him in the eye with a defeated expression. It seemed he had abandoned the idea of resisting completely and only wanted to know the cause of his defeat before his death.
Bai Yunfei stooped down, picked up the two ‘Icesoul Silver Needles’ from beside a rigid Zhang Yang and put them away in his interspatial ring.
“Right from when I started to fight you, I found it strange that you, the young master of the Zhang family in Luoshi City and an ‘outstanding’ disciple of the Glacial School, didn’t even have a soul item to protect yourself just in case. Though later you took me by surprise and used that arm-lengthening soul technique, I still didn’t see you use a soul item.”
Bai Yunfei was still looking down at Zhang Yang from a dominating position, seemingly enjoying this feeling of victory.
“So, there were only two possibilities: One was, you really didn’t have a soul item. And the other was, though you were concealing a soul item on your body, it was definitely not a main offensive weapon like a sword or a saber; instead… it was a projectile used for sneak, surprise attacks!”
“But, I obviously said that…”
“You obviously said that ‘not even a disciple of the Glacial School like me has one’, right?” Bai Yunfei immediately cut him short and continued: “These words seemed to have been said because you were in fear and couldn’t believe that I have so many soul items. But, think about it from another perspective… You were simply hinting at me that ‘you didn’t have a soul item on your body’. Too bad, I took note of this.
“This alone would have made me slightly suspicious at most. But unfortunately for you, I had already guessed about this to a certain extent earlier so what you said only made me even more suspicious.
“You wanted to use these projectiles when I went out through the window to give chase, right?” Bai Yunfei said gently then, paying no attention to an astounded Zhang Yang, he continued: “But there wasn’t a very good opportunity at the time, and you noticed that I had no intention of killing you immediately so you let me throw you back into this place, wanting to find a better opportunity to launch a surprise attack on me, right?
“Do you find it strange that I was able to know about this? You seem to have forgotten that I can also use flying daggers. When you attempted to fish out those two needles behind your back, though you thought your movements were very stealthy, too bad for you, I’m pretty familiar with these movements. I even saw through the way you pretended to move backwards right before your surprise attack just now to fish out your projectiles…
“Lastly, you could come up with using Uncle Wu’s family to threaten me. I must say that you reacted really very fast. Too bad, right from the beginning I knew that you were lying!”
“How… How did you know?” Zhang Yang asked subconsciously with an already ashen face.
“Because when I went to pay my respects to Uncle Wu two days ago, I still saw his family members!”
“So, your hesitation and inattention were all an act to trick me into using my trump cards…” Zhang Yang said in a powerless manner with a dejected expression.
“Correct.”
“But there are still two things I can’t understand. It’s not even been two months, how did you become so powerful in such a short time? Besides, you’ve got an interspatial ring and at least three soul items, could it be you’ve really joined the Crafting School?” Zhang Yang kept asking with a soft sigh. After his original ruse had been seen through completely by the opponent, he seemed to have suffered a very serious blow.
