Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Stop pretending! Why hasn't that ghostly thing shown itself yet?" Ao Tianba frowned as he stared at the sea in front of him, trying to find the culprit behind all this. If he couldn't get rid of this guy as soon as possible and only got entangled with the four mountain opening puppets, he would be dead this time.

Pfft! Lin Yi almost burst out laughing as he communicated with his primordial spirit."Senior, this guy is looking for you. Do you want to go out and say hello?"

"..." The ghostly thing was speechless for a while before saying,""I'm afraid he'll be scared to death if I go out, so I'll leave it to you. The thing you encountered this time is not small, and it's even related to me!"

"Relatives? Could it be that the other party is a spirit beast?" Lin Yi jumped.

"No, it's a real sea beast. Who told you that I can't be related to sea beasts?" The ghastly thing pouted.

"Eh, your family's connections are really wide. You even have relatives with sea beasts. I'm impressed." Lin Yi shook his head, speechless."What should I do now? should I bring you to meet your relatives?"

"If you want to die, go ahead. I won't stop you." The demonic thing laughed evilly. Not to mention that the other party was a completely unrelated sea beast, in its current state, even if it was a relative of a spirit beast clan, it would not dare to casually acknowledge him. Who knew, it might end up as the other party's nutritional supplement.

"Then what should we do? Can this Starfall array defeat your relative?" Lin Yi asked.

"The power is barely enough, but you have to be in command to have a chance. Otherwise, I guarantee that they won't even be able to touch a single hair. Once six hours are up, you can just wait for death." The ghastly thing said in disdain.

"I'll command?" Lin Yi blinked, shaking his head as he watched ao Tianba go in circles. "I'm not their Captain. Why would they leave such a life-and-death matter to a random layman like me? How could that be possible? unless water entered their brains!"

Ao Tianba didn't like Lin Yi before, and was waiting for him to make a mistake. His attitude changed, but it was impossible for him to hand over the command. He'd throw Lin Yi out to feed the sea beasts if he said that.

"Hehe, I'm not asking you to ask for the command right now. Just wait until they're at their wit's end and you can ask." The demonic thing laughed.

"That's good. " Lin Yi nodded as he looked at ao Tianba's next move. The guy seemed to have made his decision.

"Since it's not willing to come out, then I'll beat it out. Listen to my orders. Target the four sea beasts in the mountain opening stage. Falling star formation, release!" As soon as ao Tianba finished speaking, he swiped his four fingers across the light and shadow astrolabe in front of him, and the four stars that he had swiped across shone brightly again.

BOOM! Four huge beams of light descended from the sky again, blasting towards the four sea beasts. The white light shone brightly, and huge waves rose into the sky. The momentum was so great that even the ancient battleship was shaking. Lin Yi felt an unprecedented shock.

As the light faded, ao Tianba and the others stared nervously at the sea in front of them. However, the results of this battle had sent chills down their spines. The four sea beasts did not follow in the humpback whale's footsteps as they had expected. Other than the thousand-legged tyrant king crab, which was not much faster than the humpback whale, which had been blown to pieces, the other three were safe and sound.

Be it the deep sea mad sharks, the netherworld ghost mothers, or the soul-summoning strange fish, their speed in the ocean was at a ghostly level. The humpback Mountain whale and the thousand-legged tyrant king crab could not avoid the bombardment of the Starfall array, but the two of them could!

Ao Tianba's face turned deathly pale as he looked at the three sea beasts that were flashing back and forth on the sea. There was no doubt about the power of the Starfall formation, but there was a flaw, and that was that it required time to accumulate power.

Even if the time needed was so short that most of the sea beasts could not react, a flaw was still a flaw. As long as it existed, it would be exploited one day.

"How is that possible? No matter how fast the sea beast is, it can't Dodge it! This has never happened before!" Ao Tianba shook his head in disbelief. In the past, the Starfall formation had never failed to deal with the sea beasts during the mountain opening stage. But this time, it had failed three times in one go. It was simply too strange.

The others were in disbelief as well, only Lin Yi was shaking his head. He'd never failed before because there wasn't something stronger controlling them from behind, but this time was special. The three of them were able to avoid it because the guy behind them had controlled them to speed up.

"This guy is not good enough. A good falling star formation has fallen into his hands, and he can't even use ten percent of its power. What an idiot!" The ghastly thing suddenly said in disdain.

"Ha? This isn't the full power of the Starfall formation?" Lin Yi was shocked-could it be even stronger than this, ten times more powerful than before?

"It's considered its strongest power, but not its strongest power. " The ghastly thing said in an enigmatic manner.

"Senior, can't you say something more human?" Lin Yi said, speechless.

"In terms of the power of the light pillar, this is naturally the strongest. If it were stronger than this, would these sea beasts still be alive?" The demonic thing laughed and said,"it's a pity that such a powerful thing has fallen into the hands of an idiot. What's the use of it if you can't hit the target?" If there was an expert controlling it, even I would have to be wary of this descending star formation at my peak. It's a pity that it's being controlled by an idiot now. He couldn't even handle a few sea beasts at the beginning stage of the mountain. If the designer isn't dead, he'd probably be crying in the toilet. "

"Why is that? Its charging time is indeed a very obvious flaw. As long as the other party is strong enough and fast enough, it shouldn't be too difficult to avoid it in time after noticing it, right?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

"A flaw? In ancient times, the Starfall formation was known as the most powerful killing formation without any flaws. It's just that no one knows how to use it now, so it's just a bright pearl covered in dust. " The ghastly thing sighed.

"The strongest killing formation without any flaws? Where does this come from?" Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. There was clearly time to store energy, how did it become the strongest killing formation without any flaws?

"Kid, look at its astrolabe, doesn't it look like a chessboard?" The ghostly thing asked instead of answering.

Lin Yi took a closer look. He didn't think about it before, but now that this thing reminded him, he realized that it was indeed a chessboard, an extremely complicated and exquisite chessboard.

"It is said that the original designer of the Starfall array was a chess master of his generation. The Starfall array was inspired by the chessboard. Every star is a piece, and before the piece is placed, the opponent's every retreat path must be calculated. After all the retreat paths are blocked, so what if there is time to accumulate strength? can the opponent escape?" The ghastly thing said. (To be continued.)
