Chapter 12981
Moreover, life-saving trump cards like the Life-Saving Ring are becoming increasingly rare.
If everything falls into Lin Yi's hands today, even if he manages to escape Tianjun unscathed, he'll still be coughing up blood!
Yan Shiqi struggled to get up from the stone wall, and when he looked at Lin Yi again, there was no longer any contempt in his eyes, but visible fear.
Yan Shiqi asked warily, "Who exactly are you? How could someone like you stay in Tianjun?"
Lin Yi chuckled upon hearing this: "Why can't someone like me be in Tianjun? Tianjun is my lucky place. I developed my strength here today."
It was the absolute truth, but unfortunately, Yan Shiqi didn't believe a word of it.
Yan Shiqi, with an expression that seemed to have seen through the truth, said, "A small pond like Tianjun cannot raise a true dragon."
Lin Yi laughed heartily: "I've become a real dragon? You're giving me too much credit."
Yan Shiqi continued to speculate, "There is a divine opportunity here, so it's not surprising that those powerful forces have made their moves here in advance."
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be some hidden trump card of some faction."
"I left you here in advance so that I could gain an advantage in the upcoming battle for the main god's opportunity."
His eyes grew brighter as he spoke, and a hint of mockery appeared on his face: "I must say, you did play a good game, but unfortunately, you're too disobedient."
"You should have waited until the opportunity of the main god was opened before you made your move, but now, just to show off in front of me, you have ruined your own carefully laid plan."
"Heh, I don't think it's an exaggeration for me to call him an idiot, do I?"
Lin Yi was speechless: "You're quite good at making up stories; I almost believed you."
Yan Shiqi scoffed, "I've already seen through it all. What's the point of you continuing this pretense?"
It's not surprising that he was so certain; any other slightly cunning person would most likely have speculated from this angle.
After all, Tianjun has been controlled by the Five Saints of the aristocratic families for so many years, and has never produced any decent strongmen, not even anyone who could unify Tianjun.
Now, Lin Yi has suddenly appeared and risen to such a terrifying level in just one year. In the history of Tianjun, it is no exaggeration to say that this is unprecedented.
Then it just so happens to be at the critical juncture of the main god's opportunity. If you say that the two have nothing to do with each other, who would believe it?
The more Lin Yi denies it, the more obvious it seems to outsiders.
To explain is to cover up, and to cover up is the fact.
Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated: "If you say so, then so be it."
Yan Shiqi raised his head: "Finally, you're willing to admit it."
"..."
Lin Yi was speechless. He stepped in front of the other party, blocking all his escape routes, and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the Wheel of Annihilation yourself, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
A fleeting look of panic crossed Yan Shiqi's eyes.
In that brief exchange, the difference in their strength was immediately apparent.
Even if he has some other trump cards up his sleeve, it's not certain that they can withstand Lin Yi's antics.
Especially now that he has confirmed that Lin Yi must have a powerful background, as a divine-armored hunter, knowing that he is no match for him, there is no need for him to fight Lin Yi to the death, both morally and logically.
Ultimately, his trip to Tianjun was all for business.
He had no personal grudges against Lin Yi, and it would be unwise for him to risk everything for a business deal.
"Since you're unwilling to hand it over, then I'll do it myself."
Lin Yi immediately reached out, preparing to take back the Wheel of Annihilation from its body.
Just then, a powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly exploded behind us.
The invisible impact of the moment it struck caused the surrounding air to tremble and howl.
A figure resembling a war god forcefully passed through the spatial rift with his physical body and appeared out of thin air behind Lin Yi.
Yan Shiqi was overjoyed upon seeing this: "Brother Lie, you've finally arrived!"
Lin Yi's eyes flashed: "You even hired help?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the person who had come in.
Having just been cornered, Yan Shiqi immediately trembled again: "With Brother Lie here, I'd like to see what you can do to me! Even if you can outdo me, you're still a piece of trash in front of Brother Lie!"
Lin Yi looked at the newcomer's appearance, his expression slightly strange: "Is that so? Brother Lie?"
The newcomer was no stranger; he was none other than Lie Kou, whom he had met once before, who had extended an olive branch to him on behalf of the War God Academy.
Lie Kou's face also showed a hint of surprise: "Brother Lin, we meet again so soon."
Upon hearing his greeting, Yan Shiqi froze on the spot, exclaiming in astonishment, "You two know each other?"
Lie Kou nodded: "I know him. I met him once not long ago."
Hearing this, Yan Shiqi finally felt relieved.
The bandit was the savior he had invited; he was his last trump card.
Now he was convinced that Lin Yi was a super ace secretly raised by a powerful force, and that he could not possibly confront him head-on.
But no matter how strong Lin Yi is, he'll be helpless against the monsters from the War God Academy.
Especially Lie Kou, who is one of the nine candidates for War God!
Looking across the entire open area of the Divine Realm, there are very few who are qualified to fight him.
No matter how strong Lin Yi is, he's no match for Lie Kou; he'd be instantly killed with a single slap.
But if the two really have some kind of relationship, then today's situation is quite troublesome.
Fortunately, judging from Lie Kou's words, the two had only met once and could hardly be considered friends.
Fearing that Lin Yi might try to build a relationship with Lie Kou, Yan Shiqi quickly spoke up, "Brother Lie, I invited you here today not for anything else, but just to ask you to help me fight!"
Lie Kou glanced back and forth between Lin Yi and Yan Shiqi, his face full of strangeness: "Who do you want me to hit?"
Yan Shiqi insisted, "There's no one else here, so it must be Lin Yi."
Lie Kou's expression grew increasingly speechless: "You want me to beat up Brother Lin?"
Yan Shiqi hurriedly said, "You two don't seem to have any special relationship, do you? Asking Brother Lie for help shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
The people from the War God Academy are all beasts born for battle. If you ask them for help in a fight, they'll always be there for you.
Even Lie Kou, one of the nine candidates for War God, was no exception.
Lie Kou scratched his head helplessly: "According to what you're saying, Brother Lin and I really don't have much of a relationship yet, since we've only met once."
Yan Shiqi urged repeatedly, "In that case, Brother Lie shouldn't have any trouble. This is just a small favor for you."
You've said two things wrong.
Lie Kou held up two fingers: "First, this matter is very difficult for me; second, this is not something I can easily do." (End of Chapter)
