Chapter 116: I Have a Secret

His divine sense, like the most precise instrument, swept over the heap of corpses once more, and for the last time.

This time, he slowed his pace, raising the precision of his divine sense to the utmost.

When his divine sense passed over Su Ming’s “corpse” again, he finally detected an extremely faint, almost negligible anomaly.

Although the “corpse”’s heartbeat had stopped, his muscles retained a kind of… a very subtle elasticity only a living person would have.

Dead bodies’ muscles are rigid, or slack.

But a living person, even when pretending to be dead, still keeps a subconscious, ready-to-strike tension deep in the muscles.

Ordinary mortals could not perceive such a difference, and even common Qi Refining cultivators could not tell.

But to Zhao Qianshan at Foundation Grand Perfection, it was like a speck of dust in the night—tiny, but undeniably there.

“Interesting.”

A trace of amused curvature appeared at the corner of Zhao Qianshan’s mouth.He did not immediately expose it.

He slowly lowered his body and walked casually to Su Ming’s “corpse.”

He extended his foot and pressed Su Ming’s finger with the tip of his boot.

“How long do you plan to keep playing dead, little bug?” His voice was soft, laced with mockery.

At that moment, Su Ming’s heart felt as if gripped by an icy hand, nearly stopping.

Exposed!

He didn’t know where his flaw had shown, but he knew his greatest reliance—playing dead—had failed!

Run!

That was the only thought in Su Ming’s mind!

The instant Zhao Qianshan finished speaking, Su Ming’s tensed body, like a compressed spring, suddenly exploded!

He did not spring up. Instead, he rolled on the spot, using all his strength to thrust the half-broken blade in his hand like lightning toward Zhao Qianshan’s ankle!

When surrounded, strike another to save your ally! Attack to relieve!

For ordinary warriors facing an unbeatable enemy, this was the only way to survive!
