Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Brat, you're very arrogant!" The nine neonate snorted coldly. It had lost all interest in using Lin Yi as a toy to test its moves. If it could, it wanted to kill Lin Yi with a single breath, but it didn't have the ability to do so.

Although alchemy fire was not the only way to deal with the primordial spirit, there was no doubt that alchemy fire was the most common and easiest way to master. Unfortunately, alchemy fire had always been the exclusive right of human alchemists. The nine-headed fierce beast obviously could not master alchemy fire. However, other special means were not something it could reach. This was not just about strength, but mainly about talent in this area.

He didn't have any means to deal with the essence spirit, and just this point alone made Lin Yi invincible. The nine neonate couldn't do anything to him.

"You're too kind," Lin Yi looked very relaxed. In fact, he wasn't nervous at all ever since he found out that the other party was also a spirit. It wasn't just because he knew that the other party couldn't do anything to him, and it wasn't just because he knew the refinement fire. The existence of the nine neonate confirmed one thing, and that was that this environment wasn't directly harmful to the spirit!

As an essence spirit, Lin Yi's greatest fear was never his opponent, but the unpredictable nature.

Even a powerful existence like the nine neonate was helpless against it, but no matter how powerful the primordial spirit was, it was still a weak existence in the face of nature. If one was not careful, they would be played to death in 10000 ways.

"Hmph, don't think that I can't deal with you, kid. If you don't cooperate, I'll kill her now!" In its rage, the nine neonate turned its eyes to Duanmu Yu. It couldn't do anything to Lin Yi himself, but it didn't forget that there was a hostage.

"The great jiuying actually used such a despicable method. Don't you feel ashamed?" Lin Yi frowned. He was fine with it, but he had to make sure Duanmu Yu was safe. He couldn't just let Duanmu Yu become the target of the enemy.

"I'm not a human, what's there to be embarrassed about?" The nine neonate scoffed. For it and most spirit beasts, practicality was King. What was integrity?

With that, the eyes of the head in the middle of the nine neonate suddenly turned dark red. It did not seem to make any other unnecessary movements, but an invisible spiritual energy instantly came out of its body and was devoured by the primordial spirit!

At the same time, Duanmu Yu, who was still fine a moment ago, suddenly stared blankly. Soon after, his eyes began to gradually lose their luster.

Soul snatching hand? Lin Yi was shocked. He didn't know what the nine infants technique was, but he could feel that it was very similar to the West Mountain sect's soul-hooking hand. From Duanmu Yu's performance, the effect was similar.

Lin Yi quickly shot out a refinement fire, wanting to block the opponent's move. He didn't expect that when the refinement fire hit the nine neonate's head, it actually gritted its teeth and endured it, vowing to devour Duanmu Yu's essence spirit.

Lin Yi panicked-Duanmu Yu would be done for if his spirit was sucked away by the nine neonate, but even his refinement fire couldn't stop it. What should he do?

Just then, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat and he immediately put Duanmu Yu's spirit into the Jade space. He'd already done this in the mirror world, so he had no other concerns.

As a result, the nine neonate, who had just sucked in a little, suddenly missed. It should be known that primordial spirit devouring was a very dangerous move. Once it failed, the backlash damage would not be small. The nine neonate's primordial spirit shook, and the head that used primordial spirit devouring in the middle hung down powerlessly. Obviously, it had suffered a great loss of vitality.

"What the hell are you doing?" The other eight heads were furious at the same time. The loss this time was even greater than the previous few alchemic fires added together. No wonder the nine neonate was mad.

"I'll do whatever you're doing. " Lin Yi said faintly.

"You can also devour primordial spirits?" The nine neonate was shocked. Lin Yi did take Duanmu Yu's spirit away in one go, and to a guy like it who didn't know the truth, it was undoubtedly devouring the spirit. It also seemed like Lin Yi was stronger than it. Otherwise, how could he take Duanmu Yu's spirit away from the Tiger's mouth?

"Can you guess?" Lin Yi said casually. Strictly speaking, his incomplete hand was similar to his opponent's soul-devouring, but the power was far from it. At least, against a soul of Duanmu Yu's strength, Lin Yi had no way of dealing with it.

"You're acting like a ghost!" The nine neonate snorted. That was what it said, but from its performance, it could be seen that it was indeed a little intimidated. This human's primordial spirit was really a little unfathomable!

If it wasn't for this accident, it would have wanted to try using essence spirit devour against Lin Yi. It didn't have any refinement fire or other methods that could suppress essence spirits, but it wasn't completely helpless against Lin Yi. At least, it was worth a try.

However, the primordial spirit engulfing technique was very risky. It had to make sure that its primordial spirit was more than two levels stronger than the other party 's. Otherwise, it could be devoured by the other party instead, and it would not be able to find its grave even if it cried.

The nine neonate was at least at the nascent Soul Stage, while Duanmu Yu was only at the peak of the Foundation Stage. There was no problem with choosing this target to devour, but if it were to choose Lin Yi in a moment of rashness, it would be fun.

Lin Yi's original body was a xuansheng stage master. Even if the projection of his spirit was restricted, it didn't change his nature. A nascent Soul Stage being devouring the spirit of a xuansheng stage master-if the nine-headed fierce beast really did that, it would never forget the consequences.

Unfortunately, the nine neonate wasn't stupid. Before it knew Lin Yi's background, it wouldn't do something so stupid.

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw that the nine neonate was starting to get scared,""Alright, you idiot, don't waste your time acting tough with me. We're both primordial spirits, and I admit that you're stronger than me now. If you discuss it with me nicely, I'll probably play with you when I'm happy. But if you keep acting tough with me, then fine, let's see who can win! I forgot to tell you, someone gave me a nickname, the head of acting tough ..."

"What nonsense is this!" The nine infants did not admit defeat, but after a long silence, its attitude softened.""Alright, as long as you do your best as my sparring partner, I can give you an unimaginable great fortune. I can give you a chance to reconstruct your physical body!"
