Beauty and the Bodyguard

And the intensity of this time was even more intense than when he was blocked by the Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard in the tree hole!

F * ck! What's going on?

Lin Yi suddenly had a bad feeling-the sky turned dark, and he was covered in a huge shadow.

Looking up, at a low altitude of five to six feet above the canyon, there was a Giant Eagle circling in the air. Its wingspan was more than five feet! In the common world, it was sixteen meters tall, and the sky above the canyon felt like it covered the entire sky!

A vicious bird of this size was definitely not a simple one. Its claws were like golden hooks, and its beak was like a Blood Diamond. Under the reflection of the setting sun, it was cold and intimidating.

With just a glance, Lin Yi could tell that the Eagle was at least a Foundation Stage spirit beast from its overbearing aura. Its strength was at least two levels higher than the Nine-Tailed cloud piercer leopard that he'd blown into pieces!

In other words, this fellow was at least a powerful spirit beast in the middle stage of the foundation building realm!

The flying spirit beasts he'd raised in the back of the mountain were as tame as quails compared to this one, and their strength wasn't this exaggerated either. Lin Yi didn't doubt that if the flying spirit beasts met this guy in the air, they'd all be killed in a matter of minutes.

Lin Yi didn't have the confidence to fight against a beast of this level. The only thing he was glad about was that he put Skybolt pig into the Jade space before he came down, instead of letting it guard him.

If Skybolt pig was really up there, he would have become the bird's snack, let alone a warning.

But now that the pig was fine, the one in danger was Lin Yi!

The Eagle's sharp eyes were on Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi was too obvious a target for a living person on the cliff!

F * ck! How was he supposed to play with this?

Lin Yi's heart froze when he saw the Eagle circling low in the air and preparing to dive in his direction.

Previously, he had the confidence to deal with an early Foundation Stage spirit beast like the Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard. However, the one above him was at least a mid Foundation Stage existence. If he were to really fight with it, he was afraid that he would be killed in a second!

The most important thing was his current situation. He was able to stand on the branch thanks to the two vine ropes around his waist. It wasn't easy at all. In this situation, not to mention a mid Foundation Stage Giant Eagle, even an early Foundation Stage spirit beast might not be able to handle it!

But, no matter what Lin Yi thought, the Eagle was already treating him as dinner. Although Lin Yi's size was a bit small compared to its huge body, the flesh of human cultivators had always been delicious, and the amount of spiritual Qi was far above that of other spirit beasts. It was a great supplement that could only be found by luck.

Retracting its wings and feathers, the giant Eagle swooped down towards Lin Yi and crossed a hundred feet in an instant, appearing on top of Lin Yi's head. The Golden claws under its belly swiped at Lin Yi with a sharp force, the power that was produced in an instant was far beyond all the divine weapons Lin Yi had ever seen!

Bang! Bang! In a hurry, Lin Yi forced his back against the wall, even at the cost of getting injured. This restricted his movements, but at least he could counterattack. It was better than losing his balance and being grabbed by the enemy.

At the same time, Lin Yi clenched his fist and used the 22nd style of the wild fire Fist with his back against the wall. The fiery fist met the Eagle's Golden Claw.

The twenty-two forms of wild fire Fist was Lin Yi's second strongest move after the twenty-one forms of wild fire Eight Trigram palm.

It was a little weaker than the twenty-first style of the raging fire Eight Trigram palm, but the advantage was that it didn't exhaust all his Qi in one move. On a cliff like this, Lin Yi had to save some Qi for self-protection.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even need to put in so much effort. He could just blast out the 21 styles of the wild fire Eight Trigrams palm. Not to mention what he could do to the giant Eagle, he would have directly laid down his arms and surrendered or simply fell down. Whether he lived or died was entirely up to heaven's will.

The fist intent of the twenty-two forms of wild fire Fist was like a volcano that had been dormant for many years suddenly erupting. Not only was it powerful, but it was also continuous. If Lin Yi was facing a normal early Foundation Stage master, this punch alone would be enough to injure him.

But the problem was that he was now facing a giant Eagle at least in the middle stage of the foundation building realm. Although the 22 forms of wild fire Fist was overbearing enough for ordinary early stage foundation building experts, it was far from enough to deal with this natural Overlord of the sky.

Lin Yi didn't have high expectations for this punch, but he didn't want to give up just like that out of his pride as a practitioner. However, to his surprise, this seemingly insufferably arrogant bird actually chose to retreat in the face of his 22 forms wild flame fist!

"What's the situation? Could it be that this fellow is just a false bravado?" Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised.

When one's strength reached the Foundation Stage, almost all the spirit beasts 'intelligence was no different from that of a human. It was not strange for them to have all kinds of human-like thoughts. However, it was difficult to change a person's nature. According to common sense, no matter how strong these spirit beasts were, they would not change their brave and aggressive nature, especially the giant Eagle, which was a battle-type spirit beast that was born for killing.

If the Eagle was really strong, at mid-foundation level or above as Lin Yi had predicted, it wouldn't have dodged the 22 forms wildfire fist. It would've just crushed him with its claws.

But no matter what, the giant Eagle did choose to retreat in front of the 22 forms of fist, but it immediately flapped its wings at Lin Yi!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At such a close distance, how did it feel to be flapped by the wings that had a wingspan of five Zhang?

He didn't know what would happen to others, but Lin Yi felt like he was going to die soon. The wings brought with them an indescribable force. The impact was a few tons, and Lin Yi's organs started to shift as if they were being torn apart.

Luckily, he was an early Foundation Stage-even a Sky Class late phase peak would've been torn to pieces by the wind. (To be continued.)
