Chapter 12567
Killing the Saint felt a sense of absurdity.
"Actually, thinking about it carefully, this is quite normal. Due to the limitations of the track rules, even the veteran can't unleash their true strength, so it's not surprising that they would be eliminated by anyone."
"It's not that simple. He was clearly tricked by Di Qingfan!"
"That's true. Di Qingfan is a big shot. It would be a miracle if the other party didn't suffer a setback if he targeted them like that."
There was much discussion outside the venue.
As for the people in the arena, after they realized what was happening, they all looked at Di Qingfan with a hint of apprehension.
Eliminating the old monster from the game certainly removed a major threat from their minds.
However, now, this major concern has fallen on Di Qingfan.
They have the ability, the cunning, and most importantly, the ability to judge the situation perfectly. If we continue to let such a person stay in the game, no one will have an easy time!
Everyone unanimously began to focus their fire on Di Qingfan.
Unfortunately, Di Qingfan had anticipated this and had already devised an extremely tricky escape route. Unless there was a restrictive environment like the Shura Field, it would be a pipe dream for everyone to effectively focus their fire on each other.
The scene then descended into chaos once again.
Ultimately, they were just a mob.
There may be some tacit understanding at times, but once a change occurs, they will immediately fall apart again.
Fighting alone is the norm.
If we had to say there was any consensus, it would be that we should focus our fire on either the Saint or Emperor Qingfan. These were probably the only two points of consensus in the arena.
After all, these two pose the greatest threat.
With the example of the old monster's defeat already set before us, and considering that these two are both extremely cunning individuals, how could we possibly give them another chance?
Lin Yi silently blended into the crowd, showing no intention of standing out.
His disguise as the "End Emperor" was incredibly dazzling in the past; wherever he went, he was the center of attention.
But in the present moment, he has become an insignificant nobody.
In the end, he's just a mere six-zhang-tall Dharma form. Let alone trying to extort a Saint, even people like Di Qingfan can't do it.
With your Terminator out of the game, what kind of trouble can you, the Terminator Emperor, cause?
Lin Yi was naturally delighted with this.
With his current strength, if he were to go all out, he might very well dominate the entire arena.
But that's not necessary.
The goal is simple: get the final divine gear reward. As for the process, slack off as much as possible and keep a low profile.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Lin Yi wanted to slack off, but someone didn't want him to be so comfortable.
A sense of impending danger arose, and Lin Yi suddenly turned to the side, just barely missing a dark green light.
The main body of this dark green light was clearly a slender throwing knife.
The intensely poisonous aura emanating from it made even Lin Yi's eyelids twitch.
Lin Yi turned around and looked at the owner of the poisoned knife.
It turned out to be the Killing Saint.
Lin Yi smirked: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for someone of your stature, Senior Killing Saint, to launch a sneak attack on a junior like me?"
"Are you a junior? Aren't you known as the Emperor of the End?"
The Killing Saint said in a low voice, "With such an impressive title, I thought you were my peer."
As he spoke, he looked Lin Yi up and down, his gaze filled with deep scrutiny.
What he values most is naturally ending the old monster.
But he dared not underestimate Lin Yi, the Emperor of Termination.
What if, as he previously guessed, the End Emperor and the End Monster are actually the same person?
Although judging from today's situation, this possibility can be basically ruled out, he still wants to test the waters just in case.
Lin Yi didn't say much and immediately activated his Divine Speed, trying to create distance.
The Killing Saint raised an eyebrow: "You can also use divine speed?"
Lin Yi didn't hide anything: "Is it strange?"
Speed is not an exclusive secret technique. Since the End Emperor and the End Monster are in the same group, it is reasonable that they both learned speed.
"It's not surprising, it's just that you're not very good at learning."
The Killing Saint's voice rang directly in Lin Yi's ear: "Do you know that besides the third speed, there is a fourth speed?"
At the same time, a short knife gleaming with a deadly green light silently pressed against Lin Yi's neck.
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched.
This so-called fourth-gear super speed was something he had never heard of before.
The sudden close-up of the Killing Saint did indeed give people a ghostly, terrifying sense of oppression, but in terms of absolute speed, it was about the same as his Gear Third Speed.
It's just a bit more eerie.
Without giving him any chance to react, the Killing Saint's blade fell directly down.
His strike wasn't just a single blow; the subsequent long-lasting poison damage was enough to easily erode ten layers of protection.
In other words, one strike can eliminate someone!
However, it was forcibly broken open the next second.
Under the impact, the Killing Saint was instantly shaken off, and the two sides widened the distance between them once again.
"Forcefully breaking through the Dharma form?"
Everyone gasped in surprise upon seeing this.
The Dharma Form Break has the effect of forcibly interrupting the opponent's attack, which is reasonable. However, when facing a master of the level of Killing Saint, many people simply do not have the reaction time.
Even if one possesses the power to break through with a Dharma form, it is difficult to use it at the right time.
Facing the Killing Saint, simply seizing this moment is already quite amazing.
The Saint of Slaughter himself wasn't too surprised by this.
If the Emperor of Termination, as a core figure of the Termination Society, didn't even have this much ability, then there would be a problem.
This performance was exactly as he had expected.
"It seems it really isn't just one person."
The conclusion has been reached regarding the killing of the Saint.
If that were the final blow from the old monster, it wouldn't have been just a matter of using a powerful Dharma Form to knock him away.
He deliberately left an extremely subtle flaw, one that would definitely be noticed by the other party.
Any expert of his caliber would never let this opportunity slip by, since this one flaw alone could easily eliminate him.
In fact, Lin Yi did discover it.
For a fleeting moment, he was indeed tempted, but he ultimately restrained himself.
If we can eliminate Killing Saint directly this time, then our chances of winning this match today are practically guaranteed.
The problem is that doing so would completely expose the fact that the two aliases belong to the same person, which, from the overall perspective, would be a complete loss.
Ultimately, this is a strategic move targeting the three Dharma Image slots, and may even involve a longer-term plan.
A single divine equipment reward is not enough to make Lin Yi pay such a high price.
Moreover, even without revealing his identity, Lin Yi's chances of obtaining the ultimate divine equipment reward would not decrease significantly.
It's just a matter of being more patient.
The only problem right now is how to get rid of the Killer Saint.
Killing the Saint has indeed dispelled suspicion, but that doesn't mean he'll be let off easily.
He deliberately revealed a weakness just now; he will surely strike hard next.
After all, with the current restrictions imposed by the track rules, Lin Yi, the Emperor of Termination, is a threat to him, no more or less.
However, before the Killing Saint could make a move, Zhang Baiyu had already approached them from the other side. (End of this chapter)
