Chapter 12497

"Damn, these guys are pretty ruthless."

Nie Huichuan immediately dodged away.

Theoretically, the Heavenly Path Kill can only kill a five-zhang Dharma Aspect expert. If he is a four-zhang Dharma Aspect, there is no need to worry at all, and he can be completely ignored.

But he is only a pseudo-four-zhang Dharma form, so it's hard to say whether the Heavenly Dao Killing technique will also be effective against him.

However, Lin Yi was also a lifeline for him. Now that he had been eliminated in this way, it would be difficult for him to break the deadlock again.

The dust and smoke dispersed.

Lin Yi stood there, completely unharmed.

"what's the situation?"

The bigwigs of Tiangong were all dumbfounded.

They feel no guilt whatsoever about killing a random passerby who wanders in; even if it's brought up publicly, it's the guy's own fault.

But how could it be completely unharmed?
"Could it be that Zhang Baiyu is protecting him?"

From everyone's perspective, at the very last moment before the Heavenly Strike landed, Zhang Baiyu clearly made a move to save someone.

Although it's unclear how he did it, judging from the overall situation, he's most likely involved.

"How foolish! How can you be so sentimental at a time like this!"

The bigwigs of the Heavenly Palace were filled with regret and frustration.

As the eldest son of the strategist Zhang Baiyu, Zhang Baiyu has always presented an image of being a truly kind and honest person, aside from being a bit aloof.

This applies to both superiors and subordinates.

Including this time dealing with Nie Huichuan.

If it were anyone else, the risks would be enormous, and they would not easily take the plunge.

Even if they do get involved, they will definitely do it carefully to gain enough benefits for themselves.

However, Zhang Baiyu did not.

As soon as the Heavenly Palace spoke, he agreed without hesitation, without making any demands.

The problem is, we're not being kind in the right place right now!
Why should we be kind to a rotten apple like him?
The powerful figures were heartbroken: "It's over! A moment of weakness, a woman's compassion, has ruined the entire Tianjun!"

The Heavenly Path Kill requires a large amount of resources and a long period of preparation.

It will take at least half an incense stick's time to restart.

Without the blessing of blending in with the world, how could Zhang Baiyu possibly hold out against Nie Huichuan for half an incense stick's time?

Liu Aozhi had no choice but to order: "Order the twelve groups of the Heavenly Palace to break into the barrier. Even if it costs lives, we must protect Zhang Baiyu!"

The rest of the group remained silent.

The tide has turned against them, and Zhang Baiyu is no longer able to contend with Nie Huichuan in the short term, but he remains the last hope for the entire Tianjun County.

As long as he is there, the Heavenly Palace still has a chance to turn the tide.

However, when facing a monster like Nie Huichuan, every minute of delay would come at a bloody price.

How much capital does his Heavenly Palace have to keep pouring money into it like this?

This is a choice made without a choice.

Unfortunately, Nie Huichuan wasn't stupid either.

Although he didn't know why this reckless idiot hadn't died, it was still a great thing for him.

What he needs to do right now is to kill Zhang Baiyu and eliminate this biggest threat!

Once Zhang Baiyu is gone, no one in Tianjun will be able to stand against him.

Even if he is outnumbered in the short term, he can easily retreat and fight a guerrilla war with the people from the Heavenly Palace.

We'll wear down all the high-end combat forces bit by bit!
At that time, the entire Tianjun will be shrouded in his shadow, and the five noble families, who are high and mighty, will be able to watch helplessly as their descendants are slaughtered by him!

puff!
Zhang Baiyu was stabbed through the abdomen with a single blow.

Before the second horizontal slash could land, Zhang Baiyu managed to break free and create some distance, but he was already severely injured and completely exhausted.

If Nie Huichuan were to deliver another blow, he would surely die.

Meanwhile, the twelve groups of the Heavenly Palace were still breaking through the barrier outside and had no way to come to the rescue.

To add to that, the barrier that blends in with the world is not so easy to break.

"Stop blocking my way, bro."

Lin Yi spoke softly.

Nie Huichuan's attention immediately fell on him, and he licked his lips playfully: "I almost forgot about you. I should thank you for your help."

As he spoke, he slashed directly at Lin Yi's neck with his sword.

Now that Zhang Baiyu has been severely injured, even if he restarts the Harmony with the World technique, it will no longer pose any real threat to him.

From his perspective, the outcome was already decided.

There's no need to keep Lin Yi, this random bystander, around any longer.

As for the people in the Heavenly Palace, they felt a great sense of satisfaction at seeing this scene.

If it weren't for this stupid bystander causing trouble, the situation wouldn't have deteriorated to this point.
Better to be dead.

As a result, the expected scene of a head falling to the ground did not occur when the knife fell; instead, the whole scene seemed to freeze suddenly.

Nie Huichuan's knife was actually stuck against Lin Yi's neck.

To be precise, it was stuck on the Great Dao Dharma Image behind it.

"Four feet of Dharma!"

Nie Huichuan's eyelids twitched violently. Driven by his instinct for danger, he quickly withdrew and retreated.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yi again was filled with horror.

Everyone in the Heavenly Palace gasped in unison.

"A master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Aspect? No wonder he can easily enter and exit the barrier. When did our Tianjun gain such an important figure?"

Amidst the shock, the crowd felt little relief.

They didn't know Lin Yi's identity, but they were certain of one thing: this person was definitely not one of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families.

There is already a false four-zhang Dharma form, Nie Huichuan, and now a true four-zhang Dharma form has suddenly appeared.

This is clearly a sign of great chaos!

At this moment, in the arena.

Lin Yi frowned and looked at Nie Huichuan: "I was just passing by, are you going to kill me?"

The sound, amplified by the demon mask, sounded particularly eerie and unsettling.

"I……"

Nie Huichuan instinctively wanted to argue, but then his expression turned ruthless: "Pretending! Since you are one of the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families, then show yourselves openly. Who are you trying to scare by hiding and concealing yourselves?"

He had been imprisoned in the imperial prison for many years and knew little about the outside world.

In his understanding, there were only the Five Saints of the aristocratic families among the four zhang-level Dharma Aspect masters in Tianjun, and there could not be anyone else.

Now that it's confirmed that they are the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families, things become simple.

With the Heavenly Curse as his backing, even if only one of the Five Saints of the aristocratic families came, or even if all of them were present, they would absolutely not dare to attack him.

Since they don't dare to make a move, they're just punching bags.

If he's lucky enough, he might even be able to kill these five sages of the aristocratic families with his own hands today, avenging the thousand-year-old hatred of his Nie family ancestors!
Don't miss out!

Nie Huichuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately attacked Lin Yi again. The destructive power of his pseudo-four-zhang Dharma form was instantly amplified to the extreme, aiming to kill him with a single blow.

Lin Yi stood there, showing no intention of dodging.

The next second, Nie Huichuan's longsword landed on Lin Yi, but got stuck again.

The four-zhang-tall Dharma form didn't collapse as he had expected; it didn't even have a minor crack.

To put it bluntly, not even a scratch was broken.
