But...
He had remained perfectly clear-headed.
So he understood that in this slaughter, the tabu was indeed terrifying, yet the tabu itself would never personally descend.
The tabu was just another piece on the board.
The piece had arrived.
He had arrived.
So... where was the one meant to pin him down?
If he was the enemy, he would certainly have taken into account the unexpected factor at Lady Yama's side.
That factor used to be Master Li.
But the true high-level players had already grasped one point: Master Li was the Barbarian King, and the Barbarian King died after fusing with Withered Fire, so Master Li was already dead.
Therefore, Li Yuan could not manifest in the world in his true body.
Then... was there still some unexpected factor at Lady Yama's side?
This time, it was an attack, a sweep, and even more a probe.
It was both the destruction of Yama's humanity, and a "beat the grass to startle the Snake".
