Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Lin Yi would've been a dead body if those needles were poisoned." Xue Jianfeng sneered at this scene.

No matter if it was Lin Yi or Ling Tianyou, they were both targets that he had to get rid of. Unfortunately, he was under the orders of the higher-ups, and he didn't have the guts to touch Lin Yi. Ling Tianyou, on the other hand, was the life of the thousand blades sect. If he touched this guy, the entire thousand blades sect would fight him with their lives on the line. With his current strength, it would be suicide.

"Hmph, the thousand blades sect used to be one of the four great sects. Even though it's not on the decline now, it's still a righteous sect. As the sect leader of the thousand blades sect, why would Ling Tianyou use such a sinister and despicable method?" Xin Yijie shot Xue Jianfeng a disdainful look. A gentleman would never do such a thing, but it was obvious that someone like Xue Jianfeng would have no problem using it.

Xue Jianfeng sneered disdainfully. If it was in the past, he would still care about his image, but after being crippled twice, his temperament had changed greatly, especially now that he had secretly joined central. In order to achieve his goal, he would do anything, such as poisoning and other insidious means.

"Even if it's really poisoned, Ling Tianyou won't be able to hurt Lin Yi at all," Bing Wuqing suddenly said.

"What?" Everyone was shocked, and after a closer look, they finally realized that although Ling Tianyou's 999 needles surrounded Lin Yi tightly, and should have been impossible to defend against, Lin Yi had not been stabbed at all. He dodged 90% of the needles, and as for the remaining 10%, it was blocked by his protective Zhen Qi every time it got close to Lin Yi, unable to move an inch forward and unable to cause any damage.

"What a strong protective Zhen Qi!" Everyone was speechless. At the level of the perfected Foundation Stage, the strength of the protective Zhen Qi layer was indeed not weak if one went all out, and it was enough to block ordinary fists, palms, and blunt weapons. However, Ling Tianyou's Flying Needles were the natural enemy of the protective Zhen Qi layer. It only required 10% of Zhen Qi to block ordinary attacks, but 10% of Zhen Qi was required to block the attacks of Flying Needles.

Lin Yi was only a Foundation peak, not a golden core-how could his shield be this strong?

"F * ck, so what if his protective Qi is strong? even if Lin Yi can hold on for a while, he'll be exhausted to death by Ling Tianyou sooner or later. In my opinion, this salted fish won't be able to make a comeback. He still calls himself the grand-master of the North Island's Qingyun school, but this time, he was defeated by someone who was a level higher than him, and he was the first one to succeed. This is so embarrassing." Xue Jianfeng sneered.

Xin Yijie frowned, but he didn't say anything. At least from the current situation, Lin Yi's situation wasn't looking good. As long as he couldn't escape from the 999 needles, he could only rely on his protective Zhen Qi to fight Ling Tianyou. If Ling Tianyou used one point, he would use ten or even a hundred points. If this went on, it was obvious what the outcome would be.

On the other hand, Bing Wuqing didn't think much of it, but she didn't show it on her face. She had fought with Lin Yi before, and even a late-stage golden core cultivator like her couldn't do anything to him, let alone Ling Tianyou, who was only at the peak of the late-stage foundation building.

As for song Lingshan and the others, they weren't worried at all. Even if they couldn't see through it at their level, they had absolute confidence in Lin Yi. A thousand blades was nothing.

Time passed by, and Lin Yi was still trapped by the 999 needles. The situation was as tense as before, and this battle of attrition was as everyone expected. However, what surprised them was that Lin Yi was still unscathed, and what was even more ridiculous was that he seemed to be at ease, not at the end of his rope at all.

This kid was really capable! Xue Jianfeng frowned. Compared to Ling Tianyou, who was a potential enemy, he was more inclined to embarrass Lin Yi. After all, there was a blood-soaked hatred between them. He immediately said,"Martial uncle Xin, it's almost the time for two incense sticks to burn. Are we going to let them continue like this? there's no point in doing so. There should be a time limit, right?"

"There's no time limit. There are only two results for all the matches in the trial Competition. Either the winner is decided directly, or someone admits defeat. There's no third possibility." Xin Yijie looked at him and pouted.

"You're just talking about an ordinary competition, but this is a cross-level challenge. We can't keep dragging it out, right? It's been two incense sticks, and anyone can tell who's stronger and who's weaker. Martial uncle Xin, you're not going to side with the people of your own blue cloud School, are you?" Xue Jianfeng said in a strange tone.

"Oh? Who was higher and who was lower? Why can't I see it? why don't you explain it to everyone, Xue Jianfeng?" Xin Yijie snorted.

"Of course it's ..." Xue Jianfeng was about to say that Lin Yi had already lost, but Lin Yi's body suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Ling Tianyou.

Xue Jianfeng was instantly rendered speechless, and the rest of the people were in an uproar as well. Lin Yi had been trapped for so long, and everyone thought that he was at his wit's end. Who would've thought that he'd come out just like that? it was like a game! Was this guy just playing with Ling Tianyou?

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Ling Tianyou, who was the one involved, was even drenched in cold sweat. The speed Lin Yi had displayed earlier was already frightening enough, but this time, it was several times faster than before. Such shocking speed was unimaginable.

But compared to this, there was something else that shocked Ling Tianyou even more. His 999 Flying Needles had Lin Yi completely surrounded, and there were no gaps or openings from the beginning to the end. How did he manage to escape unscathed?

Without waiting for Ling Tianyou to react, Lin Yi had already lost interest in playing with him. He threw out an unstoppable raging fire thousand legs right in front of him. After all, he'd already tested him. While Ling Tianyou had unlimited potential, he was still far from being able to accomplish anything at the moment. There was still a long way to go.

Lin Yi's thousand fire legs was extremely fast, and with his sudden appearance, it was even harder to defend against. Even an early golden core like Xin Yijie wouldn't be able to Dodge it completely.

However, Ling Tianyou took advantage of the situation and rolled away, dodging the wild fire thousand legs. Although it was a little embarrassing, it was still enough for Lin Yi to look at him in a higher light, and even the people around him couldn't help but sigh.

It was a pity that he was facing Lin Yi. Even if he managed to avoid the fiery kick, that was only Lin Yi's initial move. The follow-up attacks were stronger and faster, and before Ling Tianyou could get up, the fiery kick was already in his face. (To be continued.)
