At Xia Mu's friendly gaze, Mingfei smiled charmingly. The two men and a woman surrounding Feng Yi were expressionless. Mengdie, on the other hand, appeared peaceful, filled with a spiritual grace. She was quietly observing...
Yes, all that Xia Mu had said wasn't wrong. The enemy's enemy is indeed a friend. That's the unchanging truth since ancient times. Besides, their interests might not be in conflict. If so, Feng Yi's situation would become extremely awkward.
"Well, your thinking is good, but I have a different opinion."
"What opinion?"
"The enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend."
At this moment, Feng Yi broke the notion that the enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend. He also suggested that the enemy's enemy could be even more dreadful than the enemy. The reason was simple. Feng Yi claimed this was a matter of loss probability statistics. Cooperating with the enemy's enemy could perhaps defeat him, but it would also come at a considerable cost. No one present dared to claim victory over himself, even if he was not in peak condition. This could be why the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. But if he was ready to fight to death, his threat alone would surpass the few from Saudi.
However, the Saudi case was different. There was not much bargaining power to start with. Feng Yi could entirely choose to proactively give up based on his conditions and minimize his losses. If the opponent is eager to find him, then he would go along with the flow. The prerequisite though, is that the Jade Clear Sect must defeat the super warriors from Saudi.
Upon hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on Xia Mu's forehead. This Feng Yi certainly has a silver tongue, and his points were not without reason. Weighing the pros and cons, it would be reasonable for the opponent to choose whoever provided the better advantages.
Still, Xia Mu felt something was amiss, but he couldn't quite figure out what.
Mingfei chuckled softly after hearing this roundabout argument, "Well said, General Feng. Truly a brilliant plan."
Feng Yi retorted, "What plan are you talking about?"
"Isn't both of us hurting each other part of your plan? Of course, they wouldn't be able to fulfill it."
The super warriors from Saudi gritted their teeth on hearing this. What an arrogant person! Still, they knew that times had changed and didn't contradict Mingfei directly, even Heifeng chose to swallow his anger.
Feng Yi said, "To show my sincerity, you can control me now."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Mingfei asked in return, a hint of greed in her eyes. However, she originally thought that the Revenge Shadow Rider would be different from others, but it seems he's just like any ordinary person. Of course, he was forced by circumstances to act this way.
"Yes." Feng Yi responded crisply, but to everyone's surprise, he added, "But how can I trust that surrendering is not just a convenient ploy of yours to trick me into complying?"
For a moment, the scene fell into silence. Yes, Feng Yi could let them take him away, but he didn't believe the people of the Jade Clear Sect would keep their promises. In this world, people exist for their own interests, and Feng Yi's question had suddenly created a deadlock, leaving the crowd around him speechless...
Feng Yi suggested, "At the very least, you should show your sincerity by dealing with one or two people." Once again, he threw out a bombshell.
Although he said this, if the Jade Clear Sect chose to take action on the Saudis, he wouldn't honestly surrender and await death like a trapped fish. On the contrary, as an ambitious average person, Feng Yi's words had two implications: first, to buy time; and second, to attempt to make the Jade Clear Sect eliminate a few of their own members.
After all, having fewer Saudi super-soldiers would indeed prove advantageous to them. The concept of many a little makes a mickle could turn the tide. Although the current situation seemed unlikely to change the overall outcome, Feng Yi would still strive to alter it somehow. The only regret so far was that he hadn't seen any results, and could only take one step at a time.
Right now, Feng Yi could leave if he wanted to, yet even if his opponent were Mengdie, he was sure he had a chance to shake her off. After all, he possessed a trump card that ordinary people did not: Air Travel! A power to create a great distance from these people in a blink. Even if Mengdie wanted to catch up to him, whether she could or not remained uncertain. However, such a state wouldn't last long, probably only ten or eight seconds, which he believed was the limit he could handle now.
And these ten or eight seconds would be enough for him to get very far away, but our super-soldiers were different. They had their talents, yet these talents were for piloting mecha. Their close combat experience was just barely above that of normal people, and even the older Haier was within the range of normal people. With such skills, they absolutely wouldn't be able to size up those elites. If he leaves now and abandons his older buddies, their combined strength couldn't even handle Xia Mu, let alone the more powerful Xiuluo, the ruthless Heifeng, the vigilant Silver Mary, and Jiu Ling, who silently observed everything.
Everything right now spoke volumes that not only should he not leave, but he also had to delay as much as possible to maximize the chances of escape for others. Every second counted, and his heart wasn't as painful as it had been when he arrived. This suggested that his condition was slowly improving. Maybe as long as he didn't exert his powers, the intense pain wouldn't strike. However, he also understood it's not a long-term solution
Feng Yi was now silently recovering while preparing to attack. He knew that as soon as he fought with the Jade Clear Sect, the young super-soldiers of the federation would be doomed. Therefore, the attack he was brewing was not aimed at the Jade Clear Sect, but prepared to ambush the Saudis. The first to be killed would have to be Xiuluo who was likely the most powerful, followed by Xia Mu, Jiu Ling, Heifeng, and Silver Mary in order.
If he could eliminate Xia Mu and Xiuluo in a blink of an eye, then break away from the Jade Clear Sect, leaving the super-soldiers on his side in a 4V3 situation, the battle would still be winnable.
With this idea in mind, Feng Yi decided to take action at any moment. He was neither a good man nor a woman of virtue. The battlefield required no extra emotions; it was a matter of life and death. But just when he was about to strike, a muffled bang sounded from the opposite side.
Everyone's eyes followed the sound, and they were surprised to see Xiuluo, a Rank 1 fighter, fall to the ground. It wasn't easy for someone of his strength to be knocked down so easily unless the attacker was of the same or greater power. Even the women of the Jade Clear Sect were very strong, but they lacked physical strength and unlikely to land a blow like this. Also, Feng Yi had not moved so swiftly without anyone noticing.
Everyone quickly recognized the figure that appeared... it was none other than the cold-faced Sky Shadow. While no one knew how strong he exactly was, Sky Shadow did manage to fight toe-to-toe with an entity of Mengdie's caliber during the Galactic Warfare. Although Mengdie hadn't used her mysterious powers which no one understood, it was apparent that she was wary of Sky Shadow's assault.
The Saudis were both shocked and enraged. Damn, of all the moments, Sky Shadow had to appear now! They had truly miscalculated and should have been on guard against him.
In the dark, the atmosphere of the field seemed to reach a balance again. Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sky Shadow but didn't show it. Instead, he conveyed to Sky Shadow that he was in a bit of a sticky situation and that the Jade Clear Sect were after him. He must lure some away - of course, with Sky Shadow present, he felt somewhat relieved.
