Chapter 12492
Upon hearing this, Liu Bang's face turned deathly pale.
No one knew Xiang Yu's terror better than him.
Even a powerful figure like Fan Kuai was no match for him; the strength of this ancient overlord had no upper limit whatsoever.
If you wanted to hold out for even half an incense stick's time in front of this person, not only could Liu Bang not do it, but you probably couldn't find anyone in the whole world who could.
It was called an opportunity, but it was actually a death sentence.
"If you don't dare, then there's nothing more to say."
Xiang Yu looked down at him with disdain.
Just as Liu Bang was about to step forward with a stiff upper lip, he suddenly heard Lin Yi stand up and say, "In that case, why don't you let me give it a try?"
The whole audience was shocked.
Liu Bang looked at Lin Yi with a bewildered expression: "Zifang?"
In his eyes, Zhang Liang, as a nobleman of six states, was not so weak as to be truly powerless, but he had always presented himself as a strategist, and was by no means associated with the word "warrior".
Lin Yi gave him a reassuring look and slowly walked into the arena.
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiang Yu looked at Liu Bang meaningfully and asked, "What does the Duke of Pei think?"
Liu Bang finally made up his mind: "I entrust my life to Zifang."
"it is good!"
Xiang Yu didn't hesitate any longer.
Given his status as a powerful ruler, killing a scholar in the eyes of the public would certainly be an unfair victory, but his martial prowess is already deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people, and he has no need to prove it to anyone else.
Lin Yi said, "I have a small request, and I hope the general will grant it."
Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow: "Speak."
Lin Yi said, "Dismiss everyone. I do not wish for anyone else to be present when I am fighting the general."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fengxiao had a bad feeling.
Unfortunately, before he could interject, Xiang Yu nodded in agreement: "Alright, you will come with me to the training ground. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
The two immediately headed to the training ground, one after the other.
With Xiang Yu's order given, even Zhang Fengxiao, with his status as a mentor, could not disobey. He could only stay behind with the others and quietly await the outcome.
Despite his concerns, reason told him that Lin Yi had no chance of turning the tables.
After all, Zhang Liang is not a military general and does not have the extra strength bonus given by the script.
To defeat Xiang Yu, one must rely entirely on one's own strength.
Xiang Yu was an absolutely terrifying figure!
The attack that instantly killed Fan Kuai just now was at least a four-zhang-long Dharma form, and that's the most conservative estimate.
Zhang Fengxiao had a premonition that if this overlord were to unleash his full power, he might be comparable to a master of the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect, or even more terrifying.
Once placed in Tianjun, it would be easy to slaughter everyone, and even the Five Saints of the aristocratic families would probably have to bow down and submit.
Lin Yi, the Great Emperor of Termination, was nothing more than a six-zhang Dharma Aspect expert in his eyes.
For a mere six-zhang-tall Dharma form to think it could withstand half an incense stick's worth of incense in front of such a monster is nothing short of a fool's dream.
There is no chance of escaping!
After half a stick of incense.
When Xiang Yu returned to his military tent, his aura was now imbued with a greater sense of killing intent than before, making everyone's hearts pound with fear.
However, before Zhang Fengxiao and Chen Rang could even feel happy, Lin Yi followed them in.
Everyone was stunned.
"how is this possible?"
Zhang Fengxiao blurted it out.
No matter how he calculated, Lin Yi had no chance of success. Not to mention a six-zhang Dharma form, he had no chance at all for a five-zhang Dharma form, and even a four-zhang Dharma form was extremely unlikely.
But at this moment, Lin Yi was standing right in front of him.
Was Xiang Yu putting on an act for him?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, his face turned deathly pale.
His so-called home-field advantage is entirely based on Xiang Yu. Once Xiang Yu sides with the other side, then all of this becomes meaningless.
He didn't know how Lin Yi had done it.
But facts speak louder than words!
Little did they know, Lin Yi was still filled with lingering fear at that moment.
At this point, any opportunistic approach is nonsense; the only solution is to rely on hard power to survive the remaining time.
That was a test from Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, and also a test from his fellow countrymen in the secular world.
Without a doubt, this battle was the most dangerous battle Lin Yi had experienced since arriving in Tianjun, without exception!
To be honest, Lin Yi was quite excited at first.
After all, there are no opponents of this strength in the entire Tianjun County, and he doesn't need to risk leaking secrets, so he can act freely.
Of course, Lin Yi wasn't so arrogant as to confront the other party head-on. Fan Kuai's example was right there in front of him; thinking like that was just plain stupid.
His original idea was to use his Black Star Blast and Divine Speed to execute a kite-flying strategy.
This not only buys time but also inflicts some damage on the opponent. If the opportunity is right, seizing the opening can lead to a burst of damage.
It's not entirely impossible that we could take this legendary overlord away in one fell swoop!
As it turns out, Lin Yi was overthinking things.
The Black Star Explosion landed on Xiang Yu, but he didn't even blink; it wasn't even a scratch.
As for lightning speed.
Third gear is fast enough to barely keep up, but first and second gear are practically useless.
The problem is that the third speed mode consumes a lot of energy from the Dharma body, so it's impossible to keep it on indefinitely.
The final outcome was that Lin Yi would occasionally use his third-gear speed to create distance, and before he could even catch his breath, his opponent would catch up and beat him up.
They finally found an opportunity to create distance again, only to be caught up and beaten up once more.
This cycle repeats.
Fortunately, Lin Yi had mastered the ninth level of the Vajra Form, making him far more durable than an ordinary four-zhang (approximately 16.6 meters) Dharma Form.
Even so, it is still far from enough.
The key is the 30% physical evasion granted by the butterfly knife.
In addition, the Wind-Fixing Pearl was crucial in saving the day, which allowed him to barely withstand half an incense stick's time.
If any one of these things were missing, he wouldn't be standing here alive right now.
At the same time, it was also thanks to Xiang Yu keeping his word.
I said half an incense stick's time, and I meant half an incense stick's time; there was no time exceeding the allotted period.
"Lord Pei, you may leave now."
Xiang Yu waved his hand with a dark expression.
Liu Bang was still incredulous, and it took him a moment to realize what was happening before he felt as if he had been granted a pardon.
"No! We can't let them go!"
Zhang Fengxiao couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stood up to stop it.
Chen Rang immediately took up position at the entrance of the military tent.
In any case, they absolutely cannot let Lin Yi and his companion leave, otherwise they will be completely defeated.
As long as Lin Yi and his companion remain in the military tent, Zhang Fengxiao will have a chance to turn the tide, no matter what happens.
Before he could speak again, a short halberd grazed his scalp and pierced through the entire military tent, and even the entire camp.
Zhang Fengxiao froze, his face filled with terror.
As the second son of the strategist, he had seen all kinds of experts since childhood, including the strength of a four-zhang Dharma Aspect expert, which he knew very well.
But this single blow shattered his liver and gallbladder, leaving him completely numb.
Xiang Yu looked at him meaningfully: "What exactly is going on with you extraordinary people? Don't think I can't guess. Don't force me to kill you."
