Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, the smug smile on Yu Zhe's face froze as he looked at Lin Yi who was still standing in front of him. He couldn't believe it,""How is that possible?"

With the power of the [twenty-four styles of deadly continuous sword], even a mid-stage Foundation master wouldn't be able to stand here even if he wasn't dismembered by the sword Qi, let alone a peak-level early Foundation Stage master from Lin Yi District!

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was covered in blood as he returned a faint smile. "I'm really sorry. I already expected your second sword Qi. The reason why I let you hit me was just to trick you again. I'm just that humorous. I'm really sorry to disappoint you. "

Before he could even finish his sentence, Lin Yi activated his stored energy and struck his opponent's chest with the strongest killing move with the necklace's enhancement-the 22nd style of the raging fire Eight Trigram palm!

At this moment, Yu Zhe had just used the twenty-four forms of the deadly continuous sword and used up a lot of Qi. He was in a state of exhaustion and was completely defenseless against Lin Yi's palm.

A mid-Foundation Stage practitioner was sent flying a hundred feet away by Lin Yi's palm, his chest caved in and blood spurted out of his mouth. He couldn't even make a basic quick recover and fell to the ground, Dead or Alive!

"In front of absolute power, all schemes and intrigues are just a joke. That's a good saying. I'll take it as an early compliment from you." Lin Yi looked at Yu Zhe from a distance. He didn't know if Yu Zhe was Dead or Alive. He took a deep breath and tried to straighten his body. He gritted his teeth and looked at the bloody mess under his left armpit. Fortunately, the injury wasn't light, but it wasn't too serious. It wouldn't be too troublesome to recover.

The injury was under his left armpit because Lin Yi had anticipated the attack and prepared for it.

Originally, he could have avoided the second strike and retreated, but this way, he would lose the opportunity to kill his opponent. It would not be easy to find such an opportunity again.

Hence, he came up with this plan on the spot-he adjusted his body to let the second sword Qi Pierce his left armpit, giving the impression that he was killed by the sword Qi. However, in reality, this injury was far from enough to kill Lin Yi!

Once he managed to deceive the other party's eyes, the next step would be simple. He struck out with the 22 styles of the wild fire Eight Trigrams palm and the world fell silent.

With Yu Zhe's cautiousness and cunningness, no matter how hard Lin Yi tried, it would be hard to find an opportunity to kill him. Yu Zhe would react immediately if something went wrong, and Lin Yi might not be able to kill him even if he used a killer move.

However, after being burned by the wild fire Fist, he gave up on thinking and chose to use his strength to crush Lin Yi. This was the root of his tragedy.

When both sides 'true strength was about the same, a psychological battle would be the key to determine who would have the last laugh. After all, everyone's strength was about the same, so what could one use to crush them?

Therefore, when Yu Zhe gave up on thinking, the winner of this battle was already decided.

Lin Yi let out a long breath and calmed himself down before walking towards Yu Zhe.

Although today's battle was a psychological victory, it was not easy at all. As the saying goes, evil must be eliminated, and the roots must be cut. Now that things had developed to this point, he naturally would not let the other party live.

If the other party was already dead, then it would be for the best. If they were not dead, then he must take advantage of the other party's heavy injuries and unable to move to finish him off. Otherwise, once he found an opportunity to escape, there would be endless trouble.

As he slowly got closer, he paid attention to every movement on the other party's body. However, when Lin Yi was less than six meters away, Yu Zhe was still lying on the ground, facing the yellow soil without any movement. There was no sound of a living person, giving people the feeling that he was completely dead.

This was not normal! Lin Yi's heart went on alert. If it was a peak early Foundation Stage master, his 22 forms of the raging fire Eight Trigram palm would be able to kill him in one hit, but against Yu Zhe, a mid Foundation Stage master, it would be a bit of a stretch.

Even with the power of the profound Qi necklace, it would at most cause him to be seriously injured and on the verge of death, but it was unlikely to kill him directly, let alone kill him like this, without even a trace of breath.

With the cunning that this guy had shown before, it was not impossible for him to play dead and wait for a chance to counterattack after he had numbed himself.

If it was someone else, they would've wanted to get closer to confirm if the person was Dead or Alive, but Lin Yi stopped twenty feet away. He used the Jade space to replenish his Qi and prepared for the twenty-first style of the raging Eight Trigrams palm.

Although the power of the 21st style of the wild flame Eight Trigram palm was incomparable to the 22nd style, it was more than enough to deal the finishing blow in this situation.

Lin Yi had already made up his mind-it didn't matter if this guy was pretending to be dead or not, he'd give him one last hit right here and now. After that, it'd be impossible for him to play dead anymore, since he'd be dead for sure.

As expected, the dead "corpse" couldn't hold it in anymore after realizing Lin Yi's intention. It rolled to the side to escape Lin Yi's palm and threw a handful of silver dust.

Lime? That was Lin Yi's first reaction, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. A mid-Foundation Stage practitioner throwing lime powder to run away when he couldn't win a fight-wasn't this street gangster's sense of déjà vu a little too ridiculous?

However, Lin Yi immediately realized that the lime powder wasn't normal. Not only could it block his vision, but it could also explode.

BOOM! The ground shook as the dust exploded into a small mushroom cloud, startling Lin Yi.

If he had not gathered his Qi in advance to prepare the twenty-first style of the wild fire Eight Trigram palm and used it to offset most of the frontal impact, and fortunately, he had not been too close just now, or else the explosion alone would have caught him off guard and added injuries to his injuries. In that case, he might have been killed by the other party.

This was simply a man-made powerful dust explosion!

Lin Yi patted the dust off his body and looked at the empty space in front of him. He couldn't find the man's figure. (To be continued.)
