Duan Gujin kept provoking the Corpse Eating Poison Man verbally while preparing for various combat scenarios.
What he feared was not the strength of the Corpse Eating Poison Man, but his current location, which was right in the underground passage of the Imperial Mausoleum.
A fight here would highly likely cause the collapse of the Imperial Mausoleum and involve many soldiers of average strength.
Despite the various mechanisms, arrays, and traps that Seventh Imperial Uncle had prepared inside the Imperial Mausoleum, it was clear that those would play no role against the strong.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, knowing he had to strike first and repel the Corpse Eating Poison Man with utmost speed.
His eyes flashed; he only wanted to infuriate the Corpse Eating Poison Man completely, making him lose his rationality.
Thus, the Corpse Eating Poison Man would launch a fierce attack on him and not against those residing inside the Imperial Mausoleum.
