Beauty and the Bodyguard

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yi quickly came to a decision-he'd try to keep tangling with Cheng haonan for now. He had the Jade space to replenish his Qi, after all, and in terms of endurance alone, no one would dare call themselves the best in the world if Lin Yi claimed to be the second best-even Cheng haonan would have an advantage over him in this aspect.

Plus, Lin Yi's self-control had always been strong, and it wasn't impossible for him to make sure that not a single drop of water leaked out.

The second strategy, on the other hand, was obviously a life-or-death one. Lin Yi had never been a gambler, and he wouldn't gamble his life unless it was absolutely necessary.

With a plan in mind, Lin Yi's next move was clear-he'd use the butterfly microsteps to maintain his body movement while using all sorts of skills he'd learned to deal with his opponent-raging fire Eight Trigram palm, raging fire Fist, raging fire thousand kick, and so on. He'd use all sorts of skills without stopping.

If it was someone else, they'd probably run out of pure energy before they could even kill their opponent. After all, there was a limit to how much pure energy one could have, but Lin Yi didn't have this concern.

On the other hand, Cheng haonan wasn't as extravagant as Lin Yi-he'd basically never used any particularly powerful skills, only using normal attacks to fight back. Although he was just using normal attacks, they were actually pretty powerful-he wasn't at a disadvantage at all, even compared to Lin Yi's skills.

The more Lin Yi fought, the more shocked he was-he'd never encountered a situation like this before. His opponent was only using normal punches and kicks, but he was able to go head to head with Lin Yi at full power! He even seemed to have the upper hand!

It would've been hard to imagine if he hadn't experienced it himself, but after a few exchanges, Lin Yi had more or less grasped the essence of his opponent's punches and kicks. The reason why they were so powerful was because they weren't just normal punches and kicks, but they were infused with some pure Qi.

Of course, the amount of true Qi that Cheng haonan had infused into each of his punches and kicks was not much, or else the loss would outweigh the gain. In that case, it would be better to use martial arts techniques. After all, the purpose of martial arts techniques was to maximize the power of true Qi, and the amount of true Qi that Cheng haonan had infused into his punches and kicks was far from the limit of martial arts techniques.

However, although the amount of true Qi that the other party exerted on his fists and feet was small, it was all used on the edge of the blade. Just that little bit of true Qi had caused the power of his fists and feet to be substantially improved, and it was even not the slightest bit inferior to most ordinary martial arts techniques. Such a method was simply a divine skill!

This Cheng haonan was indeed worthy of being the boss of the poison eye mercenary group. To be able to become a formidable character, he was indeed not simple!

Wu Bao Liang's violent sand thousand explosive fist was powerful, but Lin Yi was only afraid of the technique itself. He didn't care much about Wu Bao Liang himself, but now facing Cheng Hao Nan, even if he was his mortal enemy, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart. The pressure this person gave him was far above Wu Bao Liang.

He wasn't as powerful as Wu Bao Liang, and the audience didn't feel his strength as clearly as Lin Yi did. They felt that they were on par with each other as they watched the fast-paced exchanges between the two.

Even Qi Wenhan had the same opinion. He couldn't help but feel excited. However, Butler song, who was standing beside him, shook his head discreetly. If this continued, young hero Ling would be in danger ...

It wasn't just him-Zhao Shanying from the xuanying bodyguard agency, Qi Mingyuan, boundless sea, and the rest of the judges were all sharp-it was clear who was stronger in this stalemate. It wasn't obvious, but there was no doubt that Lin Yi was being suppressed by Cheng haonan the whole time!

Qi Mingyuan's worried expression made boundless sea's lips curl up again. As long as Cheng haonan could take care of Lin Yi, the plan would be back on track. Everything would be under control, and the four Seas escort agency would still have the chance to have the last laugh.

Lin Yi's disadvantage wasn't obvious at the start, but as the pace of attack and defense increased, his weakness was revealed.

He had the Jade space to back him up, and he didn't have to worry about using up any Qi, but the problem was that even the most proficient martial arts skill needed to be stored-it just didn't matter how long it took.

Using all sorts of powerful skills continuously allowed Lin Yi to maintain the pressure on Cheng haonan, but at the same time, he unknowingly exposed a flaw that was hard to avoid-rhythm.

Every skill needed to be charged, and this meant that Lin Yi couldn't go too fast in his attacks and attacks-he needed a break in between, and no matter how short the time was, it was unavoidable. Cheng haonan, on the other hand, didn't have to worry about that at all with his normal attacks.

Cheng haonan had obviously caught onto this opening, and so he'd been trying to speed up the tempo-the moment the tempo exceeded Lin Yi's limits, he'd be in complete control.

The current situation was clearly tilting in that direction. More and more people were starting to realize that Cheng haonan had the upper hand all along, and his advantage was rapidly expanding!

Bang! Bang! Lin Yi's heart sank as he looked at Cheng haonan, who was completely unscathed after being blocked by his opponent's ordinary fist.

This was the 30th style of the wild flame Eight Trigram palm, and its power was no small matter. Even Cheng haonan didn't dare to face it head-on just a moment ago. However, he was able to deal with it so easily now. This was the difference in rhythm.

The current rhythm had far exceeded Lin Yi's upper limit. Without time to charge up, a powerful skill like the wild fire Eight Trigram palm lost its original power. This was a very dangerous signal.

At the start of the fight, Cheng haonan's aura was still very reserved, like a beast retracting its claws. But now, Lin Yi could clearly feel the pressure from his opponent getting stronger and stronger, and that extremely dangerous aura was getting more and more obvious. The beast was about to bare its fangs.

No, he had to quickly break away from this rhythm, or he would lose without a doubt.

Lin Yi wasn't an idiot-there was no way he'd stick to his original strategy in a situation like this. It was a dead end, and so he was forced to change his mind and gamble his life!

Lin Yi raised his hand and unleashed two wild fire Eight Trigram palms in a row, and this sudden change surprised Cheng haonan, forcing him back a few feet! (8th update!) (To be continued.)
