#186 - Oh shit, this is a blatant robbery!
Silent and taciturn.
The battling demon generals didn't utter a word.
Were they still thinking up their lines?
Insight and knowledge truly can save your life!
Xu Chengxian realized that understanding this principle wasn't too late for him.
At least, compared to that recently deceased great demon, it wasn't late at all.
"I feel like that guy died a bit unjustly."
He now suspected that the two demon generals currently engaged in battle were putting on a show.
Their goal was to trick those great demons into coming out to their deaths.
However, upon further reflection, he felt something was amiss.
With the strength of demon general realm, was it necessary to stage such a performance to deal with some great demons?
It wasn't necessary.
Completely unnecessary.
The power of being a realm higher was, if not capable of overwhelming all great demon realms, nearly so.
Xu Chengxian had no experience fighting against demon general realm opponents.
But from what he had seen so far, whether it was the Flying Feather Serpent or the Fire Scale Python, and even General Si, who had just eliminated a great demon, the power they displayed was genuinely formidable.
Or perhaps, they wanted to create a commotion to attract everyone over?
Disliking that the great demons were all hiding and making it difficult to find them one by one?
That didn't seem right either.
The teleportation array was right here.
Those great demons guarding here, intending to go to the secret realm with the dragon egg, would eventually come.
There was no need to lower oneself in such a way.
"...You're overthinking it," Ling Xiao said after listening to Xu Chengxian's doubts.
Where was there any acting?
"They are genuinely fighting each other."
The fighting was real.
Avoiding vital points was also real.
"However, the purpose of the fighting isn't to kill the opponent."
But to treat the other as a whetstone, to improve their own combat power and cultivation.
When these two sides met, the ferocity of the battle was imaginable.
"Descendants inherited from these two, under the awakening and reversion to their bloodlines, are inevitably influenced by them."
Meeting necessitates fighting.
Otherwise, they would become restless.
Ling Yunzi said this, and incidentally reminded Xu Chengxian that if he also awakened his bloodline, he should remember to ask him for the Mind-Calming and Spirit-Concentrating Pill.
To avoid being affected by the power of the bloodline.
"However, this kind of fighting and sparring is not without its benefits."
Not only can it hone both sides' combat skills, but it can also, conversely, stimulate bloodline awakening.
The two sides are mortal enemies.
They are also mutually beneficial aids in cultivation.
"Having such an opponent is also a kind of opportunity," Ling Xiao said.
Bloodline awakening is of extraordinary significance to demon clan cultivators.
"So, they are sparring?" Xu Chengxian summarized, but he also felt that if this was merely sparring, fighting to this extent was a bit excessive.
Although they avoided vital points, in this short moment, both sides' injuries had reached a dangerous level.
If they continued to fight, they might damage their foundations.
So, the battle would soon stop—at this moment, he remembered what Ling Xiao had said before, and immediately understood.
"If it were merely sparring, it wouldn't serve the purpose of stimulating the bloodline," Ling Yunzi paused and said, "Judging by this, they aren't fighting for the first time."
This was judged by the ruthlessness of their attacks.
Battles, especially those that must involve blood, are inherently difficult to control.
It's easy to ignite a real fire.
Once a real fire is ignited, the direction of the battle becomes difficult to control.
You stab me once, I stab you once.
The wounds are real, the blood is real, and the pain is real.
Wouldn't you want to return the favor?
Moreover, even if fairness is agreed upon, with each person stabbing the other once.
One can't help but feel that the stab you gave me was deeper and heavier than the one I gave you.
After a few times.
Even if there were no grudges originally, they would quickly arise.
So, in this sparring, there is killing intent, there is hostility, but one must suppress the killing intent and hostility.
As long as one person fails to guard their original intention, the battle will turn into a true life-and-death struggle.
"I do hope that they can truly achieve each other and go far together."
Over time, people's hearts change easily.
Trust is an extremely fragile thing.
"Difficult," Xu Chengxian said.
Based on cooperation for mutual benefit, yet causing harm to each other, the relationship between the two sides is precarious at any time.
It's too difficult to maintain it for long.
But this was someone else's business, and he was too lazy to think about it, turning to say, "So, they inevitably have to fight when they meet, and the other three demon generals know this, so they don't stop them?"
"They can't stop them," Ling Xiao said. "When enemies meet on a narrow road, one will fight to the end."
Whoever tries to stop them, they will join forces to beat up the stopper first.
"I understand," Xu Chengxian suddenly realized, "So after they finish fighting, they aren't afraid that the other three demon generals will kick them out of the game."
They have a cooperative relationship.
Although this cooperative relationship is very bizarre, it does exist.
Two demon generals in a natural alliance, within a group of five demon generals, the other three lack a foundation of trust, so they are the absolute power.
"So, those three demon generals are waiting for them to finish fighting."
The power occupying the absolute advantage weakens itself, which is beneficial to everyone.
Don't forget, their competition will continue.
—If they all intend to enter the secret realm—this is inevitable—so why not wait?
Just consider it watching a show.
Anyway, after this teleportation array is activated, it will be accessible for three days.
They aren't in a hurry.
"Good heavens."
After Xu Chengxian understood this, he also knew why Ling Xiao said he was overthinking it.
This wasn't the first time Ling Xiao had said he was overthinking it.
The Northern Wilderness demon race is a peculiar existence where deception, intrigue, and conspiracy are all played out in an unusually straightforward manner.
…
The battle stopped.
Just during the three people's telepathic conversation.
It didn't take long in total.
From the start of the fight to the end, it didn't exceed an incense stick's time.
No need to determine victory or defeat, nor to see life or death.
It lacked some meaning.
But as observers of this struggle, no one would find it boring.
Watching others fight has never been boring.
Knowing yourself and your enemy leads to victory in every battle.
The demon race may not all understand this military strategy, but everyone knows this principle.
Not to mention that there might be conflicts between them, after all, they are in the same place, competing for cultivation resources.
Even if there is no relationship, watching the battle itself can absorb some combat experience.
If one can learn about their cultivation strength, methods, and combat skills from it, wouldn't they have an advantage when they meet in the future?
"Generally, when conflicts occur, both sides will tacitly clear the area first."
"If they can't clear it, they will try to avoid it."
"If a trump card is known, it may not work anymore."
And it's easy for people to find ways to crack it.
"So the fighting within the Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis's mansion allows the great demons to go through the arena gates to a specialized fighting secret realm."
Xu Chengxian also watched very carefully.
While watching and thinking, he also understood things he hadn't noticed before.
My understanding of this world is too little.
I can't keep asking about things I don't understand.
I have to find ways to summarize them myself.
While he was paying attention to the battle, he was also deducing what would happen if he went down.
He thought, "Next, we will definitely have to encounter these five demon generals."
Regardless of their attitude or what they want to do, they won't let them pass easily.
And Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi, even himself, didn't want to bow their heads.
At this moment.
General Si stepped forward.
The fighting Flying Feather Serpent and Fire Scale Python retreated to the sides to sit down and adjust their breathing.
He crossed his arms and rose into the air.
Looking around, he smiled with a hint of contempt.
"Everyone, stop hiding."
"Those who want to go through the teleportation array, come out."
"Bring out your dragon eggs and let us pick and choose."
"If you are noticed, you will naturally be given other benefits."
"…"
"Damn, they are openly robbing!"
