"Not good, someone's ambushing!"

As this thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind, he already couldn't thrust the sword through Meng Yin's throat in time.

At this moment, to protect himself...

In a flash, Lin Yi cursed inwardly:

"Damn it!"

"Instant Teleportation!"

A blue great sword almost grazed Lin Yi's back, instantly piercing through the afterimage left by Lin Yi.

The man holding the sword stumbled, dumbfounded:

"Where is he?"

However, just then, Ling Yudao, who had remained silent on the side, suddenly became furious:

"Bastard!"

A fine steel greatsword suddenly appeared in Ling Yudao's hand, and a terrifying aura erupted from him. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Before anyone around could react, Ling Yudao disappeared from where he stood.

Soon after, a massive explosion echoed across the plaza:

"Boom~"

The enormous impact shattered and pulverized the surrounding blue bricks.

Those close by couldn't even dodge and were directly blown away by the massive shockwave.

The scene was full of cries of despair.

This sudden development utterly shocked everyone:

"What happened?"

"I saw that kid was killed."

"What!"

"Who made the move?"

"Couldn't see clearly."

...

After everything calmed down, everyone looked toward the center of the explosion.

On this plaza, they saw Ling Yudao with a great sword, facing a middle-aged man.

Someone instantly recognized the figure facing Ling Yudao, causing a wave of astonishment:

"That's Jun Shirong, the King of Zhenyuan from the Purple Moon Empire!"

"Another Tier Nine Divine King."

"Didn't expect it was him who made a move."

"Is that kid dead? Why is there no body?"

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Yudao looked at his opponent with an ugly expression:

"A dignified Tier Nine Divine King, resorting to ambushing a youngster not even reaching Venerable Level."

"This is indeed something only your Purple Moon Empire could do."

Actually, from the beginning, Ling Yudao had been guarding against people from the other two empires to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking Lin Yi.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

He only reacted after the opponent made a move.

One important reason was he absolutely didn't expect a Tier Nine Divine Level would use ambush tactics against Lin Yi.

This caused Ling Yudao's reaction to be slightly delayed.

Facing Ling Yudao's taunts, as the King of Zhenyuan from the Purple Moon Empire, Jun Shirong ignored him and said:

"On the battlefield, only victory and defeat matter, who cares what methods you use."

"However..."

Then he suddenly turned his gaze to one side of the plaza:

"Didn't expect this kid to be even more difficult than I thought."

While everyone believed Lin Yi was killed by King Zhenyuan Jun Shirong, without a trace left.

Following Jun Shirong's gaze, the crowd automatically parted to form a path.

At the end of the path, Lin Yi stood with the Dragon Scale Sword, face as calm as water.

The surrounding crowd exclaimed:

"He's unharmed?! How is this possible!"

"A Tier Nine Divine King ambushed him yet couldn't kill him, this..."

"My God, what kind of background does this kid have, I suddenly feel a chill down my spine."

"Terrifying!"

"An ambush by a Divine King couldn't kill him, this is simply unbelievable."

"I'm now incredibly curious about his background."

...

At this moment, Lin Yi is seen almost as a monster by the crowd.

No one had ever shocked them this much.

One must know that Tier Nine strong individuals rarely appear.

If it weren't for the election of the Divine Son by the church, these Divine Venerables and Divine Kings would still be high above, living in people's words.

They wouldn't appear like now, showing up as three or four at once.

However, Lin Yi's appearance made many start doubting if Tier Nine Divine Kings truly were invincible.

Lin Yi unexpectedly tore down the mysterious veil of the Tier Nine Divine Level, giving many an extreme illusion.

Making them feel that so-called Divine Kings aren't necessarily invincible beings.

With Lin Yi's departure, the unconscious Meng Yin was already taken away by the people from the Ao Sheng Empire.

At this moment, Jun Shirong suddenly looked at Lin Yi with interest:

"I have been watching you for a while."

"You must have some magic equipment capable of Instant Teleportation, right?"

"Here."

"You give me that magic equipment, and I'll arrange."

"I'll settle the grudges between you and the Ao Sheng Empire, how about that?"

For the series of Lin Yi's reactions, no one would believe it was due to Lin Yi's own strength.

So Jun Shirong naturally assumed Lin Yi must have one, or even several, magic equipment with heaven-defying attributes.

In front of such level of magic equipment, the grudges between Lin Yi and the Ao Sheng Empire could be overlooked.

However, Lin Yi didn't respond to Jun Shirong's proposal, instead saying:

"You want to kill me?"

Jun Shirong was taken aback, then shook his head:

"No!"

"I'm trying to save you."

Yet Lin Yi asked again:

"Did you want to kill me just now?!"

In that split second earlier, if Lin Yi had reacted even a bit slower, he might have already returned to Rafam Continent.

Facing Lin Yi's repeated questioning, Jun Shirong seemed to lose patience:

"Does the answer to that really matter now?"

Lin Yi suddenly asked:

"Are you afraid of death?"

Jun Shirong froze again:

"What?"

Then Jun Shirong laughed heartily at Lin Yi as if he had heard a ridiculous tale:

"You don't think you can kill me, do you?"

Looking at Jun Shirong's arrogant expression, Lin Yi understood.

If today doesn't have a deterrent display, this won't be finished easily.

That five million experience is indeed not easy to obtain.

If he can complete this side quest, he can not only successfully level up to Lv70 completing the Seventh Transformation,

but also simultaneously activate [Flight Mode].

With the ability to fly, he wouldn't be so passive when facing anything like this.

Katrina's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yi's ear:

"I'm not sure if we can kill him."

"But if you can help me hold him for more than 2 seconds, I have at least a ninety percent chance of disabling him."

Hearing this, Lin Yi suddenly showed a creepy smile:

'Alright, then prepare yourself.'

The soul of the Elda Sword Saint floated beside Lin Yi, shaking his head as he listened to the conversation between the two:

'You two are insane.'

At this moment, someone suddenly noticed the Dragon Scale Sword in Lin Yi's hand had turned into a rapier with a slightly sinister aura.

Holding [Emperor's Charm Sword], Lin Yi pointed at the still laughing Jun Shirong, saying calmly:

"I'll make you realize there's a price to pay for underestimating anyone."

Then Lin Yi opened his skill bar and activated his domain for the first time:

"Silent Domain"

"Boom~"
