Chapter 820: Heads Held Too High
What the hell is this?No problem, Miss Bai, they say there’s a Snake Demon here~
A funny line inexplicably appeared in Luojia’s mind.
But at this moment, he couldn’t even force a smile.
He knew very well that when it came to the Power of Law, Xiyue was definitely not his match.
But from Xiyue’s attack, he sensed a whiff of danger.
Knowing that his attack couldn’t kill Lin Yi in one strike, and seeing the tricky strength Xiyue displayed, Luojia immediately unleashed all his strength, pulling Luo Zhen, who struggled to even take two steps, thousands of meters away, out of the range of Xiyue’s skill attack.
Looking at the green torrent of Source Power, and then at the blood continuously oozing from his wound, Luo Zhen was puzzled:
Why did you save me? I came here for your Bisite’s Source Power resources, and you should know that if Lin Yi hadn’t betrayed me in this battle, you guys would have lost, and by then the entire Bisite Planet would have become a stepping stone for us Aiven Star martial artists to enhance our strength.
"Ha, there’s no need for you to remind me of that."
"I’m not saving you; I just don’t want to see Lin Yi flaunt about. Don’t be fooled by my current good state and improved strength; in truth, I don’t have long to live."
What?!
Taking advantage of the distance he had created, Luojia used the far surpassing Saint Transformation Level Power of the Primordial to completely heal Luo Zhen’s injuries and informed Luo Zhen of his operation to burn his Lifebound Law to enhance strength.
After hearing these words, Luo Zhen’s expression began to become dazed.
"I have no choice; this is my planet. I am happy to hand the top spot over to my followers, but I absolutely will not allow Lin Yi to destroy everything I have worked hard to build."
"He won’t give you any chance to breathe. His enhancement will surely be built on our shoulders."
"I’ve told you the method of burning the Lifebound Law. Whether you use it or not is up to you."
After saying this, Luojia transformed into a silver stream of light, rushing once again towards the direction of Lin Yi and Xiyue.
"Lin Yi, are you okay."
"How about I handle the upcoming battle?"
After adjusting his breathing a bit, Lin Yi gave a slight smile to the beauty in front of him.
"I didn’t expect that after obtaining the Martial Soul, you could execute such a terrifying attack with it. It seems our trip to the Mande Cave wasn’t in vain."
To hear such praise from Lin Yi’s mouth was already a high evaluation, which Xiyue quite appreciated.
With a tender smile, Xiyue gently responded.
"Of course, after leaving the Antebellum Canyon, I found the gap in strength between us growing larger, increasing the less I could help you, which I didn’t like."
"If I can’t even share your burdens, what right do I have to always stand by your side?"
Originally thinking that Xiyue possessed the strength of a War God and wouldn’t feel anything amiss being with him, he hadn’t imagined this sister had so much on her mind.
Enveloping Ke’Er in his embrace, he then patted her back.
When the reassuring warmth passed over, Xiyue’s delicate body noticeably quivered.
"Haven’t you known what kind of person I, Lin Yi, am? I never pursue endeavors I’m not confident in."
This battle was a good practice opportunity for Xiyue.
But since Xiyue had only recently fused with the Martial Soul, overextending herself might risk a backlash from the Martial Soul.
Neither Lin Yi nor Xiyue were certain what the Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr was plotting, but he wouldn’t let Xiyue take the risk and offer Jörmungandr the chance to possess her.
Therefore, Lin Yi intended to take action himself.
Just as he finished articulating his thoughts, Luojia had already rushed to Lin Yi, encompassing Lin Yi within his attack range.
The reason he hadn’t yet launched an attack was because Luojia was somewhat apprehensive about Lin Yi and Xiyue teaming up.
As he was still contemplating the best way to start, another equally powerful presence landed beside Luojia.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to personally deal with the enemy."
Indeed, it was Luo Zhen, who had greatly enhanced his strength at the expense of burning his Lifebound Law.
The gratitude was genuinely heartfelt.
Luo Zhen’s appearance was entirely within Luojia’s expectations.
Either way, Luo Zhen couldn’t possibly swallow the humiliation of being toyed with by Lin Yi.
"If you really want to thank me, when it’s time to take his life, let me have a hand in it. I’ll first deal with that woman. If you’re unable to defeat Lin Yi, then wait for me!"
Having spoken, Luojia directly attacked Xiyue.
He was indeed somewhat selfish.
By successfully interrupting the burning of the Lifebound Law, Luojia had a chance at survival. Moreover, the battlefield was on the Bisite Star, his home ground. Choosing to confront Xiyue as an opponent was part of his plan to be the ultimate victor.
The reinforcements from Aiven Star were on the way, but Luo Zhen knew that under away game conditions, his subordinates stood no chance against the people on Bisite Star.
But right now, he couldn’t be bothered with these matters; avenging Lin Yi was his utmost priority.
Unfortunately, both their plans would fall through.
What was about to make an entrance was an existence that even the Great Saint feared.
With just Luojia and Luo Zhen, how could they cope?
Lin Yi gently pulled Xiyue behind him and then closed his eyes.
"Big shot, I brought you out of the Mande Cave to show you the wonders of this world. Shouldn’t you also show me your methods?"
Choosing not to show his cards in a mutually damaging situation wasn’t Lin Yi being foolish; he just found it beneath him.
"Fine, let me show you my strength, although these little pests aren’t worth my time!"
In Lin Yi’s Sea of Divine Consciousness, Wo Zhiqi responded.
However, Lin Yi’s action of closing his eyes and waiting for death puzzled both Luo Zhen and Luojia.
Knowing they’re no match, so he’s giving up resistance?
A swirling mass of black mist silently appeared at Lin Yi’s side.
Facing forward, Lin Yi raised his left hand and opened his palm.
The black mist swiftly coalesced, transforming into a black hand that clasped with Lin Yi’s.
The next moment, the positions of both hands were reversed, the black mist rapidly spread over Lin Yi’s entire body.
Malicious energy erupted skyward, transformed into dense blackness, swallowing all the light of the Bisite Planet.
Luo Zhen and Luojia’s eyes were full of fear, as were all the observing martial artists.
Albeit the darkness before them, they felt as if they had encountered a catastrophic beast.
Before everyone could panic, the darkness permeating all over the Bisite Star swiftly tunneled into Lin Yi’s body, forming strange ancient runes on his exposed skin.
"People from this place are really rude, holding their heads so high."
Holding their heads high? What does that mean!?
Many observing martial artists had slower minds, unable to comprehend the hidden meaning in "Lin Yi’s" words at that moment.
Anyone not obediently kneeling suffered the impact of the Saint Transformation Level Power of the Primordial.
The shock was like a sharp blade; wherever it passed, a thin red horizontal line appeared on the necks of those standing.
