Chapter 729: The Cunning Divine Race
The Divine Race member charging towards Xu Wanying did not expect Xu Wanying to suddenly be so polite. This left the Divine Race member stunned because, during battles, it’s customary for both sides to announce their names before attacking. Attacking without waiting for the introduction is considered a sneak attack, which is unacceptable for the proud members of the Divine Race.
So, upon seeing Xu Wanying’s behavior, the Divine Race member froze. He had not anticipated that Xu Wanying, who had just been so rude, would suddenly announce his name. This left him unsure whether to continue his charge or to stop, causing him to hesitate for a moment.
Not only was this Divine Race member taken aback, but the other Divine Race members were also at a loss as to how to react in this situation.
Zhao Hai, however, looked at Xu Wanying with a slight smile. He had already noticed that the Divine Race member was stronger than Xu Wanying before the battle began. Xu Wanying was currently a divine-level expert, while the Divine Race member’s strength had at least reached the supreme divine-level. The reason Zhao Hai had sent Xu Wanying into battle was that Xu Wanying possessed otherworldly techniques; he could create many shadow clones to attack the Divine Race expert, so Zhao Hai was quite confident in Xu Wanying.
But Zhao Hai did not expect Xu Wanying to be so clever. Although Xu Wanying’s announcement seemed a bit superfluous, Zhao Hai understood that Xu Wanying’s true intention was to disrupt the Divine Race expert’s offensive rhythm.
Xu Wanying was also aware of how formidable the Divine Race expert was. When the expert charged at him, he was enraged and at the peak of his morale. If Xu Wanying had directly engaged him in battle then, even if he won, it would have taken a considerable amount of energy. An enraged opponent would certainly have a vicious attack, and facing a supreme divine-level expert who had comprehended a secondary domain was no trivial matter.
Thus, Xu Wanying cleverly used a little trick. By suddenly being so polite in introducing himself, the Divine Race expert was momentarily stunned, disrupting his offensive rhythm and diminishing his previous aggressive demeanor.
Although Zhao Hai understood Xu Wanying's intention, he did not speak out; he simply watched the Divine Race expert intently, wanting to see how the expert would react. Would he charge in a rage, or would he announce his name before attacking?
If the Divine Race expert rushed in angrily, it would indicate that the Divine Race members did not value reputation highly, prioritizing practical effectiveness instead. Conversely, if he announced his name before charging, it would suggest that the Divine Race members were quite rigid and likely held reputation in higher regard than their lives.
Dealing with different enemies requires different methods, so Zhao Hai carefully observed the Divine Race member's reaction.
After a moment of hesitation, the Divine Race member's face turned ashen, but he suppressed his anger and bowed slightly to Xu Wanying, stating, “Divine Race Blazing Fire Warlord Huan Hu.”
After announcing his name, Huan Hu let out a furious shout and charged at Xu Wanying. However, by now, Xu Wanying had enough time to prepare, and as his figure moved, he immediately set up his domain.
Huan Hu did not expect Xu Wanying to also be a divine-level expert, and a divine-level expert who had already comprehended a domain at that. As soon as he saw Xu Wanying establish his domain, he froze, quickly halting his charge and setting up his own domain.
His offensive rhythm was interrupted a second time due to this unforeseen development. However, upon seeing Xu Wanying's domain, Zhao Hai frowned slightly.
The domain exhibited a humanoid form resembling a fire demon, clearly a secondary domain with strong offensive capabilities and decent defensive effects. If the opponent had such a domain, it would indeed be troublesome.
Xu Wanying, however, did not think too much about it. In his view, no matter who the opponent was, he would find a way to deal with them. Zhao Hai had instructed him to handle this individual, and he could not let Zhao Hai down.
