The target was too obvious.
When Zhong Yiming had ordered the bonfire to be lit, Wang Qi had advised him to do so. The reason was simple. Zhong Yiming felt that Wang Qi was looking down on his fighting strength and felt that he didn't have the strength to lead them to defeat the attackers.
Zhong Yiming was born into a humble family who relied on fawning over important figures to achieve the position of commander. Usually, the greatest taboo of all was for others to look down on him. Thus, anyone who made him think that someone else had such intentions would explode with fury.
Not only that, but the most important way for Zhong Yiming to conceal his inferiority and maintain his self-esteem was to look down on others even more and insult and insult them.
The words he used to curse the most were the words' trash '. However, once he found an opportunity and realized that his subordinates had failed to accomplish anything, he would crazily curse at his opponent.
"I am an invincible existence in Mount Qilian, a place where cultivators are unable to exert strength beyond the prison boundary. Anyone who dares to provoke me will die without a burial!" These were the words that Zhong Yiming had said to Wang Qi.
Wang Qi glanced at the furious Zhong Yiming and quickly lowered his head. In his heart, he wasn't convinced at all. It was true that Zhong Yiming had a formidable cultivation base and no one could defeat him under the state of Conviction, but Wang Qi secretly believed that as the commander of a small pavilion, he should be more concerned for the team and his subordinates.
Once they encountered an attack from a wolf in the wilderness, even if Zhong Yiming could defeat his opponent in the end, would he be able to guarantee that none of their followers would suffer any casualties?
"Perhaps, in his opinion, the most important thing is to have the chance to display his strength and win everyone's praise and fear. As for the weight of our lives, it's probably not even comparable to the spoils of war we got from defeating the wolves. " Wang Qi thought like this. He had been assigned by the small pavilion to follow Zhong Yiming for quite some time, so he already understood his opponent's temperament.
Wang Qi quickly recalled the scene where he followed Zhong Yiming to complete the mission. Among the solutions, Zhong Yiming always chose the one with the most limelight, not the one with the least risk and the least sacrifice.
Every time when Zhong Yiming defeated his opponent and the opponent wasn't dead yet, he would step on his opponent's face and laugh out loud while bragging about his ability to his subordinates.
Facing his own group of injured soldiers, the most he said was, "If I wasn't here, with your strength, who knows how many more of you would have died!" His meaning was obvious: Come and thank me, worship me!
However, at those moments, Zhong Yiming would never have thought that the operation's personnel would not have had to suffer so many casualties. It was the plan of action he had chosen that had led to the deaths of so many innocent people.
And all of this was just to emphasize his ability.
In the combat report that was presented to the Upper Peak afterwards, Zhong Yiming would proudly write about how many people he had killed and how many victories he had obtained. In exchange, he would receive an extraordinary reward from the Peak.
Thinking of these past events, Wang Qi couldn't help but sigh. He was very clear that although his cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Xumi Stage and he was the number one expert under Zhong Yiming's command, it would be very difficult for him to determine how long he would live.
Perhaps, in the next battle, he would die.
