Beauty and the Bodyguard

As expected of boss Lin Yi, what a relief! Pinliang, on the other hand, was extremely excited-he'd already completely submitted to Lin Yi a long time ago, and the more powerful Lin Yi was, the happier he was. He wanted his boss to be invincible!

Only Meng Tong's expression didn't change as he looked at Lin Yi calmly. No one knew what he was thinking.

As for Nan Tianba and the southern sky Gate brothers, they looked at each other with lingering fear. Su Zhaohe had the ability to kill people above his level, at least comparable to a peak early golden core practitioner, but he was still killed by Lin Yi like a chicken. If it were Nan Tianba, he wouldn't have a good end either, not to mention the southern sky Gate who was only at the peak Foundation Stage.

After today's battle, Lin Yi had become an existence that they could only look up to. They wouldn't dare to provoke him on their own, or they'd really be courting death.

One of the people in the crowd, who was wearing a bamboo hat and couldn't see his face clearly, shivered when he saw the calm but domineering Lin Yi on the stage. He shrunk his neck and quickly left.

This person wasn't from one of the three pavilions-he'd sneaked in with the crowd. If Lin Yi was standing in front of him, he'd recognize the face under the hat-it was the mid golden core practitioner he'd met at Mount tianwu!

He was forced to go into seclusion for a month to recuperate after the fight with Lin Yi ended in a draw. It was only recently that he barely recovered from his injuries and could finally come out to act. The first thing he did was to report to su Zhaohe about Lin Yi killing su Zhaohu's group. He only had one purpose-to kill with Lin Yi's hands.

Lin Yi's identity was exposed, and su Zhaohe challenged him in public. Everything was going according to his plan. He thought that although he was tricked by Lin Yi's alchemy bomb and still had lingering fears, with su Zhaohe's long-established genius strength, even if it didn't go so smoothly, it wouldn't be a big mistake against Lin Yi.

He had never expected that things would suddenly develop into such a situation!

Su Zhaohe was an early golden core, but he was so weak in front of Lin Yi. Even if he was stronger than su Zhaohe, there was a limit. How could he be Lin Yi's opponent?

What he couldn't figure out was that Lin Yi was only a Foundation Stage practitioner a month ago, how did he suddenly become an early golden core practitioner? Could it be that he had been hiding his strength?

Even if it was the Wandu golden core fruit, it could only be used to increase the strength of a golden core stage expert. It couldn't possibly allow a Foundation establishment stage expert to form the core in one go, right? This kind of thing was simply unheard of, and it was simply unrealistic!

The man couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it-his hatred for Lin Yi was mixed with an indescribable fear.

Lin Yi was only a Foundation Stage cultivator before, but he'd already fought to a draw with him. Now that Lin Yi was an early golden core, his strength must've skyrocketed more than ten times-what was he supposed to do?

Find a chance to ambush Lin Yi? The thought had only just appeared when the man in the bamboo hat felt guilty. If he really did that, there was a 90% chance that Lin Yi would be fine, and he would end up like su Zhaohe.

But, if he just watched Lin Yi get away with it, he'd be in deep trouble.

If he took revenge, he might be killed instead. If he didn't take revenge, he couldn't take this lying down. If he didn't untie the knot in his heart, it might even delay his future cultivation. The man in the bamboo hat was in a dilemma.

"Are we just going to watch that Lin Yi Do whatever he wants?" The man in the bamboo hat pinched his chin and mumbled unwillingly. At this moment, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder from behind without a sound.

"Who is it?" The man in the bamboo hat was so scared that he almost lost his mind. He quickly jumped forward and turned around to look behind him. There was a mysterious Man in Black.

The man in the bamboo hat was suddenly scared and broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at this man with a face full of vigilance. To be able to quietly appear less than a step behind him, and he, a master of the intermediate stage of the Golden core realm, was not even aware of it. If the other party had intended to kill him, he would have died a hundred times over. The strength of this mysterious black-clothed man was absolutely unfathomable.

"I have a way to help you quickly increase your strength. Are you interested?" The mysterious man in Black said indifferently.

"Quickly increase my strength? There's such a good thing?" The man in the bamboo hat looked at the other party with a guarded expression and then sneered,""There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Aren't you underestimating me by using such a childish trick to deceive people?"

In the pugilistic world, there were too many things that involved mutual deception. If one was not careful, one could fall into the trap of others. As a middle jiedan stage master, the man in the bamboo hat had already experienced this kind of thing many times.

"Hehe, you're quite vigilant." The mysterious man in Black laughed nonchalantly. Then, his figure suddenly flashed and he disappeared into thin air. In the next instant, he appeared behind the man in the bamboo hat.

The man in the bamboo hat was once again in shock. The supersonic speed that su Zhaohe had displayed in the ring was simply child's play compared to the mysterious man in Black. It was not worth mentioning.

And he had once again confirmed one thing. If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as blowing off dust.

However, the mysterious man in Black clearly did not have this intention. He only whispered a few words into his ear and then turned to leave.

However, it was this simple sentence that caused the bamboo hat man's expression to change. His attitude immediately underwent a 180-degree change. He hurriedly nodded in agreement and followed the mysterious man in Black with a face full of trust.

A moment later, the man in the bamboo hat was already in an underground secret room. He had been injected with a drug and was currently using his cultivation to digest the drug.

At the same time, right above the secret room, in a unique and elegant room, a black-clothed man was respectfully reporting to a mysterious woman.

"I've already injected him with the medicine and taught him the trick to digesting it." The Man in Black reported.

"Alright," he said. The mysterious woman nodded as she arranged the flowers.

"However, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is this potion?" The Man in Black couldn't help but ask curiously. This was the first time he had come into contact with this potion. He had never seen it before. With his level and status, this was a rare thing.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You're an old man, don't you know these rules?" The mysterious woman's calm tone had a hint of worry. (To be continued.)
