Although there were as many as eight Second Order Green Flag Swordfish, Zhao Sheng didn't need to be as cunning as before, effortlessly outsmarting them. Even if it came to a direct confrontation, they were still no match for him.
The reason for this was that from the start, there was a big BOSS within the school of Green Flag Swordfish that had yet to show itself, possibly lying in wait in the dark, eyeing him greedily.
Zhao Sheng found it hard to believe that a large swordfish school of nearly a thousand was led by just eight Second-tier Fish Bellies. There could very well be a more powerful Swordfish King among them.
And that was one of the reasons why Zhao Sheng dared not carelessly engage in battle.
It could have been that he was overthinking, or perhaps the big BOSS lurking behind the scenes was intimidated by Zhao Sheng's fierce tactics, uncertain of his actual strength and depth.
