Chapter 12476

Seeing this, Lin Yi's lips curled up: "This guy, putting aside everything else, is really good at luring monsters."

Jing Ke was originally just attacking indiscriminately, but due to Shen Xiuluo's hatred, he actually started heading towards Lin Yi.

Shen Xiuluo's intentions were obvious.

Let's use Lin Yi as the last cannon fodder and see if he can still struggle.

Even if he couldn't struggle any longer, he would be the last one to be eliminated. He wouldn't get the divine butterfly knife, and neither would anyone else.

It's regrettable, but it's not enough to feel resentful.

After luring Jing Ke to Lin Yi's side, Shen Xiuluo turned and hid behind the dragon pillar. If Jing Ke chased after him again, he planned to imitate him and perform a scene of the King of Qin circling the pillar.

This will at least buy us some more time.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

With his current strength, if he were to unleash his full power with his four-zhang Dharma form, he might be able to put up a fight against Jing Ke, but his chances of winning would be hard to exceed 50%.

There's no way around it; the existence of the divine Butterfly Knife is equivalent to raising the opponent's tankiness to a whole new level.

If one's luck were even slightly worse, like Shen Xiuluo's failed burst of power, they could very well be worn down to death.

In any case, we should at least give it a try.

But before that, we need to send Shen Xiuluo away first.

Otherwise, if the power of the four-zhang Dharma form is exposed, it will inevitably lead to considerable trouble.

At that moment, Lin Yi glanced at the dragon throne out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly a thought struck him.

According to the script annotations of the folks, the main switch for those twenty ballistae seems to be on the armrest of the dragon throne!

Lin Yi was not clear about the exact power of the ballista.

But since the people from the secular world have made a special point of mentioning it, it obviously can't be too bad, otherwise it would be completely unnecessary.

Lin Yi didn't think this fellow countryman from the secular world was that boring.

In the chaos, Lin Yi's figure swept past the dragon throne. The whole process was so fast that even Shen Xiuluo had no idea what had happened.

Only the Mo family's secret mechanisms, hidden beneath the imperial city, began to operate quietly.

The next second, Lin Yi, filled with hatred for Jing Ke, arrived next to Shen Xiuluo.

Shen Xiuluo was stunned for a moment.

Of course, he had expected Lin Yi to use the same trick he had to lure Jing Ke back to him. The only thing that surprised him was how fast this guy had suddenly become.
But it's not a big problem.

He specifically chose the location of the dragon pillar as a safety net for himself.

Even if Jing Ke catches up again, he can use the excuse of the King of Qin circling the pillar to maneuver and then find a way to shift the blame again.

In this respect, he was confident that he would never lose to Lin Yi.

After all, a five-zhang (approximately 10 meters) Dharma form has an all-around advantage over a six-zhang (approximately 33 meters) Dharma form.

Before he could even begin to circle the pillar, a hand pressed down on his shoulder, rendering him unable to move.

Shen Xiuluo turned his head in astonishment.

It was Lin Yi who was holding him down.

"What do you mean by 'not you'?"

As Shen Xiuluo watched Jing Ke rapidly approach, his expression changed drastically.

The situation was critical, and for a moment he couldn't understand why Lin Yi had such great power.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "Brother Shen is a sensible man, so let's not waste our energy, shall we?"

Shen Xiuluo: "..."

After the gua sha treatment, he had indeed lost confidence in dealing with Jing Ke in the second stage and was indeed considering giving up.

But the allure of the divine butterfly knife was undeniable, and even with only a one in a billion chance, he was still unwilling to give it up.

I still want to give it another try.

But now that Lin Yi has dragged them here, it's obvious they're going to die together.

Seeing Jing Ke approaching with his butterfly knife, Shen Xiuluo cursed, "If you want to die, go die yourself! Don't drag me down!"

Lin Yi said calmly, "It's too late."

It was indeed too late. With just one strike, Shen Xiuluo's five-zhang-long Dharma form collapsed.

At the same time, twenty ballistae outside were ready and launched a volley at the location of the dragon pillar.

Jing Ke arrived right in front of them.

The timing was perfect.

Lin Yi himself showed no mercy, his four-zhang Dharma form lit up, and he activated the third speed level, escaping at the last moment when the crossbows were about to fire.

The dragon pillar, which required four people to encircle, was instantly pulverized into dust.

Jing Ke instantly became a hedgehog.

Twenty giant crossbow bolts, each five meters long, were forcibly interwoven into a dense iron net, trapping Jing Ke horizontally in the very center.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a tough body."

With the power of the ballista, the sheer force it generated sent all the imperial guards flying.

If it were to fall on a person, it should shatter into dust, just like the dragon pillar.

Even now, Jing Ke can still maintain his human form, albeit in the pitiful form of a hedgehog, which is still proof of his terrifying strength.

However, this also proved the power of twenty ballistae firing simultaneously.

Judging from the amount of health, Jing Ke was not instantly killed, but at most he had less than one-fifth of his health remaining.

For a master of the Five-Zhang Dharma Form, it remains a despairing line of health.

Shen Xiuluo's experience just now has proven that for a five-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar expert to fight this guy is simply asking for trouble.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was not.

With his four-zhang-tall Dharma form, dealing with such a mess was more than enough for him.

At this moment, Jing Ke was impaled in the ground by a crossbow bolt, and on the surface, he was still under hard control.

Lin Yi did not approach rashly.

He didn't know if his opponent had any other tricks up their sleeve, so to be on the safe side, it was best to keep his distance.

With Black Star Blast and Swiftness combined, this setup makes kiting a breeze.

Even if Jing Ke were at his peak, Lin Yi could probably put up a fight against him as long as he didn't make any major mistakes, let alone now that he's severely injured.

The final result was uneventful.

Lin Yi easily defeated Jing Ke.

Arriving beside Jing Ke, he picked up the emerald green Miao sword, and a stream of information immediately appeared in his mind.

"A divine butterfly knife! Just as I expected!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed.

With the butterfly knife in his hand, he felt as if he were enveloped by a special energy, an energy of an extremely high level, almost comparable to the will of the world.

Any physical attack that touches this layer of energy will immediately trigger the evasion mechanism.

30% dodge!

It's no exaggeration to say that with this divine equipment in hand, Lin Yi would have complete confidence even if he were to fight against a four-zhang Dharma Aspect expert of the same level.

In fact, the butterfly knife is not just a weapon with a 30% dodge rate; it is also a weapon of extremely high quality.

In terms of both hardness and sharpness, it far surpasses any weapon Lin Yi has ever seen before, including top-grade Dao weapons.

"Ok?"

As he prepared to leave, Lin Yi habitually scanned the area with his World Will and found a transparent glass bead beneath the remains of the Panlong Pillar.

A very familiar glass bead.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "The Wind-Fixing Pearl? How did it end up here?"

This is clearly the Wind-Fixing Pearl that Shen Xiuluo used earlier.

This isn't a disposable item; it's practically a divine piece of equipment.
