Chapter 12434
With Fan Hong's strength, if he stays vigilant, he can still evade it.
But if you try to advance recklessly, you'll immediately be hit hard.
As time went on, Fan Hong was blasted into a state of utter disarray, and even the six-zhang-tall Dharma Image behind him began to show signs of instability.
Fan Hong cursed inwardly.
If this continues, he'll be worn down to death.
It's not that he's slow or clumsy; if it were any other opponent, they would have died hundreds of times over under his Poisonous Scorpion Dharma Form.
He was fast, but Lin Yi was even faster.
Speed is relative.
After trying various strategies, the only option left for Fan Hong was to slowly wear Lin Yi down and wait for him to make a mistake on his own.
Even the most skilled expert makes mistakes.
Fan Hong's confidence stemmed from the belief that if given a chance to get close, he could turn the tide in one fell swoop.
"So afraid of me getting close? Looks like you're quite self-aware."
Fan Hong coldly dodged another Dharma Explosion.
Lin Yi replied with a smile: "So you're resorting to reverse psychology now?"
Fan Hong grinned maliciously and suddenly accelerated: "Don't overestimate yourself. To be honest, the more you dare not let me get close, the weaker your close-combat skills are!"
This wasn't just a piece of trash talk; he genuinely thought so.
For masters of the Dharma Aspect, Dharma Aspect Explosion is certainly an ideal means of long-range control, but even the top family masters who are most proficient in Dharma Aspect Explosion never regard it as their only means of combat.
Simply put, the price-performance ratio is too low.
Unless it's an extremely powerful attack that requires a lot of charging, the damage from most Dharma Explosions is only average, and it's not guaranteed to hit 100%.
Furthermore, each time a Dharma Form explodes, it consumes its own Dharma Form.
After considering all factors, it's really hard to say which side benefits more.
Ultimately, the core value of the Dharma Image Detonation lies in remote control.
If you're really going to rely on it to kill someone, unless there's a huge difference in strength between you and it's purely for bullying weaker opponents, then you're just dreaming.
Therefore, although Fan Hong was at a disadvantage, he was not in a hurry.
The worse the situation, the less anxious we should be.
He still possesses at least this much professional competence.
The two sides remained deadlocked for another ten rounds or so.
Until the flaw finally appeared.
opportunity!
Seeing Lin Yi unleash another Dharma Aspect Explosion, there was a momentary pause in his recovery compared to before.
It doesn't even take 0.1 seconds.
But in Fan Hong's eyes, it was a complete flaw!
With a simple sidestep, Fan Hong decisively closed the distance between them to within three zhang.
This distance isn't really considered close for the average person.
However, for a six-zhang-tall Dharma form, this is undoubtedly within the range of close combat.
The green light from the scorpion's tail reappeared.
Before it could even make a move, Lin Yi rushed forward, turned his back to it, and dodged the deadly scorpion tail attack while simultaneously slamming it into the ground.
The ground trembled violently.
The entire headquarters of the Termination Society was also partially destroyed.
The people outside couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
However, before Fan Hong led his men to take action, he had already set up a special barrier, so even if they could feel the tremors, they could not perceive what exactly had happened.
In the field.
Under the immense force of the impact, Fan Hong felt an unprecedented sense of disorientation, his mind reeling, and he was momentarily unable to regain his senses.
Then, he experienced firsthand the fear of being dominated by ground techniques.
Before losing consciousness, Fan Hong had one last thought.
"Damn it, we've been tricked!"
Although Lin Yi's previous performance was indeed a genuine six-zhang Dharma form, his overall impression was that of a novice.
Aside from the Dharma Explosion technique, it is utterly useless.
That's why he was so focused on finding Lin Yi's weaknesses, hoping to finish him off in close combat.
Who would have thought that all of this was Lin Yi's trap, specially tailored for him, just waiting for him to take the bait.
To add to that, Fan Hong's scorpion-like appearance is no mere decoration. If he were to actually sting Lin Yi, even he would have to pay a considerable price.
Unfortunately, with his calculated attack and the advantage of striking first, how could Lin Yi possibly give him a chance to get close and make a move?
A six-zhang-tall (approximately 33 meters) Fan Hong, along with an entire Tiger Tiger combat squad, lay neatly in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi suddenly looked up and gave a playful smile.
at the same time.
Liu Aozhi, far away at the Tiangong headquarters, couldn't help but gasp.
From the moment Fan Hong led his men to launch the attack, he had been quietly observing Lin Yi, and he saw Lin Yi's entire performance clearly.
"What a courage!"
Liu Aozhi's expression shifted between light and dark.
Lin Yi's smile just now was clearly a provocation to him, the Grand Steward of Tianjun.
Tolerable or unbearable!
However, in the end, Liu Aozhi forcibly suppressed his desire to take action himself.
His identity is too sensitive; countless eyes are watching him, both openly and secretly. If he were to take action personally, it would inevitably have far-reaching consequences.
The situation may very well spiral out of his control completely afterward.
Most importantly, he was wary of the person behind Lin Yi.
Ultimate Emperor!
Like Fan Hong, he was now almost convinced that Lin Yi was a pawn pushed out by the Great Emperor of Ultimate Intent, and there was no more reasonable explanation than this.
"Is that one starting to get restless too?"
Liu Aozhi's face was gloomy.
There is a clear agreement between Emperor Jiyi and the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families that he will not interfere in the internal affairs of Tianjun.
But only they themselves know how binding this agreement really is.
If Emperor Jiyi were to truly perish, it would be a momentous event for the entire Tianjun!
If he rushes out at this moment, he is very likely to become one of the first cannon fodder.
Liu Aozhi would never do something so foolish.
Liu Aozhi glanced at Lin Yi in the arena one last time before slowly withdrawing his gaze: "Fine, I haven't lost anything either way. I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer."
These words, coming from the mouth of the dignified Grand Steward of Tianjun, were indeed somewhat cowardly, but they weren't entirely lies meant to comfort himself.
From the moment he instructed Yang Qing'er to form the Termination Society, to the present day, although he has not fully achieved all his intentions, he has at least managed to profit from the situation.
The membership fees alone that were handed over to him amounted to no less than a million Dao resources.
It's definitely a low-investment, high-return proposition.
Even if it ends here, he has already made a profit.
Besides, it's just a temporary observation period; there might be another opportunity to try and get involved later!
In the field.
Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed Liu Aozhi withdrawing his gaze.
From the very beginning, he knew that the other party was spying on him, so he deliberately kept a five-zhang-long Dharma form in reserve.
However, the opponent is, after all, a veteran Five-Zhang Dharma Aspect master, and also possesses the aura of a Heavenly County Governor. If he were to force his way into the fray today, it's truly uncertain how things would unfold. (End of Chapter)
