Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, just as Yu Zhe was viciously staring at Lin Yi's disappearing figure, Nan tianyong suddenly spoke up,""Disciple, you go and block the entrance of the market. Leave this brat to me. I'd like to see how far this brat can run!"

Yu Zhe paused for a second and looked deeply at Lin Yi's back. He nodded and turned in the other direction without hesitation.

He couldn't guess which direction Lin Yi would run in next, but to Yu Zhe, he could just take a shortcut and reach any exit ahead of time.

It would be better if they could block him, but it didn't matter if they chose the wrong one. After all, his Master Nan tianyong was watching him personally. Lin er would not be able to escape at all. He would just have to waste a little more time on him, that was all.

Lin Yi's heart shivered when he felt the two people behind him split up. He was able to maintain his speed and not let Nan tianyong catch up to him because of the crowd, but at the same time, there was a disadvantage.

If it was in a remote place, it wouldn't matter even if the two of them split up because Lin Yi could easily find the other party's tracks with his intuition. But in this noisy market, it was unrealistic to pay attention to Yu Zhe's location while facing the huge pressure from Nan tianyong.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Yi didn't pay any attention to Yu Zhe and focused on getting rid of Nan tianyong.

Although he knew what the other party was going to do, and also knew what kind of threat the other party's actions would pose to him, once the other party guessed the direction he chose to escape in, then what he would face next was bound to be a pincer attack from the front and back.

Lin Yi wasn't afraid of Yu Zhe in a one-on-one fight after their last encounter, but the man was a mid-Foundation Stage practitioner, one level above him. It wasn't hard to hold him back for a while.

If he was delayed even a little, there would only be one outcome for Lin Yi-death without a burial.

After all, Nan tianyong's strength was at the peak of the late Foundation Stage, and it wasn't something to joke about. If Lin Yi got any closer, he would've died already. Lin Yi was well aware of this.

However, it was also because of this reason that Lin Yi didn't have the time to care about Yu Zhe. Compared to this unknown risk, the real threat behind him, Nan tianyong, was more terrifying and fatal.

"But even if we go all out to guard against him alone, this Nan tianyong is indeed difficult to deal with!" Lin Yi glanced behind him as the crowd stopped him, and his heart froze again.

The gap that had been opened up by the use of the acupoint Zhen Qi jet technique had been forcibly shortened. Although the distance shortened was very limited, it had still been shortened. There was no doubt about it!

Even with Lin Yi's butterfly micro steps and lightning storm boots pushing his speed to the maximum under the cover of the crowd, he still wasn't faster than his opponent.

Even a layman could tell that Nan tianyong wasn't the type that specialized in speed, but with the huge difference in levels, his speed was still not something Lin Yi, who was at the peak of the early Foundation Stage, could match.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel glad that they were in a crowded market. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of the Masters in the crowd, this guy would've caught up to them already!

With Nan tianyong's tyrannical temper, he would've killed anyone who dared to block his way. Even if Lin Yi used butterfly steps, he wouldn't be able to keep himself from being caught.

It was a pity that this wasn't a busy city for ordinary people, but a market for cultivators. The people passing by could only be Sky Class Masters, or Foundation Masters, or even Super Masters above Foundation.

So even if Nan tianyong was at the peak of the late Foundation Stage, no matter how hot-tempered he was, he wouldn't dare to lose his temper in a situation like this. If he triggered the anger of the crowd or if he provoked some God hidden in the crowd, he'd die Here first, let alone kill Lin Yi!

However, even though he did not dare to use his full speed because there was a crowd around, Nan tianyong still used his absolute speed advantage to slowly close the gap. If this continued, who knew when they would catch up!

"Looks like I have to end this quickly!" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat-not only because he'd be caught if this went on, but more importantly, the thing he'd condensed on his palm was starting to move. It'd be a big problem if he forced it to stay in his hand for too long.

After checking the direction, Lin Yi used the crowd as a cover and sneaked towards one of the exits without hesitation.

His figure was as fast as a ghost, flashing through the crowd. Lin Yi reached the exit quickly, but there was already a familiar figure waiting in front of him-Yu Zhe.

"You didn't expect this, did you? even the heavens aren't helping you. You're really unlucky!" Yu Zhe greeted him with a sinister smile.

There were a total of four exits in the outer and middle streets of the market. Even if Lin Yi was under too much pressure from Nan tianyong's eyes and couldn't choose every exit as he wished, there were at least two or more choices. Yu Zhe, on the other hand, had taken a shortcut in advance, so he couldn't know Lin Yi's choice and couldn't change it halfway.

So, even Yu Zhe himself didn't have much confidence in stopping Lin Yi. After all, the possibility of winning this bet wasn't high. As for Lin Yi himself, he wasn't too worried about it. His attention was completely focused on Nan tianyong.

However, no one expected this to happen-Yu Zhe's gamble paid off, and what Lin Yi faced next was a pincer attack!

After a period of chasing, Nan tianyong was only five Zhang away from Lin Yi. This distance was almost within reach for a peak late Foundation Stage cultivator.

If Yu Zhe had blocked him just a little bit more, Lin Yi would've been dead for sure. After all, this wasn't like the moment he walked out of the inner street, when Nan tianyong was already moving at full speed behind him. If Lin Yi slowed down even a little, he would've been killed in one palm, let alone getting rid of the other party like before.

As for Yu Zhe, who was in the middle phase of the Foundation Stage, even if he was almost killed by Lin Yi last time, if it was just to stop Lin Yi for a while, it would be a piece of cake.

His aura instantly rose to the extreme, and a sharp sword Qi condensed at the tip of his finger. Looking at his posture, Yu Zhe didn't just want to delay Lin Yi for a while. He was really ready to kill Lin Yi to vent his hatred! Fourth update!
