Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chase! That was the first thought that came to Lin Yi's mind, but the enemy should've escaped quite a distance away by now. It was hard to find the direction in a short time.

Just as Lin Yi was about to find a direction to test his luck, he heard footsteps in the distance. His heart tightened-it'd be troublesome if someone found out he was chasing Yu Zhe.

After all, this guy was an inner sect disciple of the rising Sky Pavilion. If Lin Yi killed him in front of everyone, it would be like challenging the three pavilions in public. Even if he wanted to die, this wasn't the way to go about it.

Lin Yi felt helpless as the footsteps got closer and closer. He was in a better state than Yu Zhe, but not by much. He couldn't continue the pursuit if he was discovered, and if it was someone with evil intentions who wanted to take advantage of him, he wouldn't be able to escape.

To play it safe, Lin Yi gave up on the chase and left the scene quickly, sighing.

This guy was really cunning and difficult to deal with. Even this couldn't kill him, and he actually let him escape. Was this guy a weasel?

Moreover, apart from the deadly chain swords that had been split into two, this guy also had this strange and powerful powder. He was really full of tricks and couldn't be underestimated.

However, now that he had escaped with such a great opportunity, it would be very difficult to get rid of this person in the future. After all, although they knew that he was an inner sect disciple of the rising Sky Pavilion, they didn't even know his name. It would be very difficult to find such an opportunity again.

Plus, even if he did get a chance like this in the future, with the cunning, cautious, and powerful strength the guy showed, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to play with him like he did this time unless he used even more powerful strength to crush him.

"Forget it. Since he has escaped, I have no choice but to be more careful when I use the thousand thread mask and Lin er's identity in the future."

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. He was lucky that he was wearing the qiansi mask today to hide his identity. Otherwise, if he had made an enemy out of the other party with his real identity, he wouldn't be able to live in peace in the future.

He already had a bunch of sworn enemies like Xu lingchong and Meng jueguang. If he were to add in the cunning and brutal Yu Zhe, he would have to waste his time with these idiots every day in the welcoming new pavilion. Then, what was the point of focusing on his cultivation?

Lin Yi avoided the eyes and ears of the people on the way and returned to the Ying Xin Pavilion without a hitch. He started to heal his wounds immediately. He was a little regretful that he didn't kill Yu Zhe, but he managed to buy the star inkstone today. It was a great success.

A treasure that could help people break through to the Golden core stage perfectly. If this news were to spread, it would be a powerful opportunity that would make everyone in the world envious!

Lin Yi didn't need it for a while, but one day, he'd be the strongest golden core cultivator, and he'd be able to step into the ranks of Sky Class island's top masters-just thinking about it made his blood boil!

What Lin Yi didn't know was that after he left for an incense stick's worth of time, not far from the center of the dust explosion, a half-dead and injured guy crawled out of the thick yellow soil with difficulty. It was Yu Zhe.

Although Lin Yi had been using psychological warfare from the start to the end to toy with his opponent, there was one mistake he made-he had underestimated the power of the twenty-two styles of his raging Eight Trigram palm.

Although it was indeed impossible for the twenty-two forms to directly kill a master in the middle stage of the foundation building realm, with the perfect opportunity just now, the palm almost exerted one hundred percent of its power. After Yu Zhe was hit by this palm, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

And then he used the powder to release a dust explosion, which inevitably added to his injuries. It was impossible for him to escape far in such a short time.

Yu Zhe knew that as long as he ran to a place with people, Lin Yi wouldn't dare to chase him no matter how brave he was, but the problem was that he'd followed Lin Yi for so long before, and he'd made a sneak attack only in this extremely remote corner.

If he wanted to get back to the main road with more people, he had to run at least two miles away. With his injuries, there was no way he could run that far without Lin Yi's detection. He could only stay where he was and bury himself deep in the ground while the dust exploded. His only chance of survival was to bet that Lin Yi wouldn't stay here for long.

This was a real move-not to mention how long he'd be staying, but he'd be forcing himself into a dead end.

It was impossible for an ordinary person to survive being buried alive deep in the soil. Although a mid-stage foundation building expert like him was not a problem, don't forget that he was in a state of serious injury and on the verge of death. If he was buried for a long time, he would suffocate to death like an ordinary person.

Moreover, even if he didn't suffocate to death, he might not have the strength to struggle out of the soil. At that time, he would still die.

But Yu Zhe didn't think so much. He just did it, trying to survive in the face of death. In the end, he grabbed the last chance of survival!

Of course, there was a element of luck in this chance of survival-if it weren't for someone passing by, Lin Yi would've stayed behind to search for them. He wouldn't let them go so easily.

One could only say that there was always a way out. Although Yu Zhe had made a mistake from the beginning when he set his eyes on Lin Yi, his luck wasn't bad in the end. Even if he knocked his teeth on the iron plate, he still managed to keep his life.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Finally seeing the light of day again, Yu Zhe greedily gasped for air. Although the injuries on his body were so serious that he could die at any time, but with the vitality of a middle stage Foundation Stage master, if there was no external interference, as long as he didn't want to die, he still had a chance to live.

Heh, luckily I have a trump card, otherwise I would really be killed by you today!

Shaking, Yu Zhe struggled to get up from the ground, but he didn't leave. Instead, he looked around and looked at Lin Yi's path, muttering weakly to himself,""The welcome Pavilion is the only place in this direction. Ordinary grassroots rogue cultivators shouldn't go this way. Could this guy be a newcomer in the welcome Pavilion? That's impossible! Since when did the welcome Pavilion have a newcomer at the peak of the early Foundation Stage? Or perhaps, this guy is the welcoming new pavilion's manager?"

After thinking for a long time, Yu Zhe almost fell to the ground because of his serious injury and weakness. He barely managed to stabilize his body before staggering away. (To be continued.)
