Chapter 12579

Immediately afterwards, news came out.

Zhao Shirong arranged to meet with the assassin.

The news caused an uproar throughout Tianjun.

If Zhao Shirong were to recruit even the Killing Saint, his intentions would become crystal clear, and all the blame would be directed at that last person.

Emperor Saint.

Could it be that he's really going to target Emperor Sheng?

All parties were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

If that's the case, Tianjun will inevitably face a dramatic change, and it's possible that the world will be completely transformed.

But does Zhao Shirong really have that ability?
Opinions varied, but one thing was universally acknowledged: given Emperor Sheng's strong foundation, even if Zhao Shirong were to ultimately prevail, he would inevitably have to pay a heavy price.

The undisputed number one who has stood at the pinnacle of the entire Tianjun for so many years, how could he be so easily overthrown?

Lin Yi was naturally also paying attention.

After all, Zhao Shirong's actions were directly related to his future plans.

To his surprise, he received a second invitation from Zhao Shirong.

"So they're making me do the work?"

Lin Yi knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch. No matter how nice Zhao Shirong's words were, he would have to pay a price if he wanted to truly reap the benefits.

To put it bluntly, it means being willing to be a pawn.

Regardless of the behind-the-scenes schemes, Lin Yi still had to put on this facade at least on the surface.

Who can blame them when they're the examiners, holding the quota for the three-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) Dharma image?

According to the other party, he could not decide who would ultimately receive the spot, but he could at least decide who would not receive the three-zhang Dharma statue spot.

It's very simple, they just need to avoid putting you on the candidate list.

Based on this point alone, Zhao Shirong is already in an invincible position.

After all, for these big shots in Tianjun, there is almost no possibility of leaving Tianjun. If they want to rise to a higher level, this is almost their only chance.

Even Lin Yi, who is not a native of Tianjun, finds it hard to give up such an opportunity, let alone the Five Saints of the aristocratic families.

This is their only chance to escape the curse passed down through the ages.

The last straw.

In this situation, if Zhao Shirong were to show magnanimity, it wouldn't be impossible for him to turn against Emperor Sheng and make him betray Emperor Sheng.

What puzzled Lin Yi was: what role did Zhao Shirong intend for him to play in this?
It is still the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

The moment Lin Yi pushed open the door, he was enveloped by an extremely terrifying killing intent.

A short knife gleaming with a deep green light was pressed directly against his throat.

Without any hesitation, he stabbed her on the spot.

The most chilling thing was that even with Lin Yi's strength, he was completely frozen in place and unable to move at all.

Then the image of the Slaughtering Saint came into view.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Now that you've finished off the old monster, it's time to settle our scores."

A ferocious glint flashed in the eyes of the Killing Saint.

This move of his was his trump card, and everyone who had seen it before was now a dead man.

Every strike is a fatal one!
No exceptions.

Lin Yi glanced over and saw Zhao Shirong sitting leisurely drinking tea in the distance, while Xu Longyin stood respectfully behind him.

With his mind racing and no time to react, Lin Yi had no choice but to immediately unleash his Great Dao Dharma Form.

Simultaneously activate the Drunken Arhat skill to maximize your evasion rate.

"Four feet of Dharma?"

Zhao Shirong raised an eyebrow, and the wariness in his eyes towards Lin Yi immediately relaxed a bit.

Zhao Shirong turned to Xu Longyin and said, "Rumors are circulating that he can surpass the Emperor Saint and is no longer just a four-zhang Dharma Form, but perhaps even a pseudo-three-zhang Dharma Form. It seems the rumors are wrong."

Lin Yi, with his four-zhang-tall appearance, was a good pawn in his eyes.

However, if it is a fake three-zhang dharma form, then that's another story, since it's not so easy to control.

Xu Longyin nodded respectfully: "It seems I was overthinking it."

The rumor about the fake Three-Zhang Dharma Image was indeed being discussed in Tianjun, but it was only through him that it reached Zhao Shirong's ears.

In Zhao Shirong's eyes, this was a demonstration of diligence and loyalty.

The reason for this sudden stunt today is to test Lin Yi's true colors.

The assassination attempt by the Killing Saint was extremely threatening. Anyone in that situation would have revealed their full strength due to their instinct for danger.

After all, they were caught completely off guard.

No matter how cunning someone is, it's impossible for them to keep things hidden under these circumstances.

However, the next second, Zhao Shirong's face showed a look of surprise.

"Didn't get it? Such good luck?"

The Saint of Slaughter himself was even more shocked than him.

His move is called "Thrust the Emperor," and it has three effects.

One of its abilities is concealment. Before making a move, it has an extremely strong ability to remain hidden in place. Unless one has the Eye of Truth, there is no way to detect it.

Secondly, it is a blocking technique. As soon as the target enters the attack range, the target will be forcibly locked by the energy the moment it is activated, and will be unable to move.

Thirdly, there is the phenomenon of "extreme luck." The more a person is favored by luck and the more powerful their aura, the greater the damage they will suffer.

Combined with the full force of the Killing Saint's attack, this move could almost certainly kill even a four-zhang Dharma Aspect expert of the same level.

Even if it cannot kill the target in one blow, it will certainly severely damage the target.

What follows is simply a game of wrestling.

Reaping kills in the endgame is the specialty of the Killing Saint; it's impossible for him to fail.

Everything went as planned, except that he never expected his sure-fire strike would miss!

"The Drunken Arhat has at most a 10% evasion rate, so how come he's so lucky every time?"

Killing Saint cursed wildly in his heart.

If he knew that Lin Yi's physical evasion rate had reached an absurd 48% after stacking the Phoenix Cry Blade and the Tripwire, he would definitely faint from anger on the spot.

If he had known this information beforehand, he would never have taken this assassination plan.

Knowing that the opponent has nearly 50% physical evasion, to still throw out your trump card right from the start is simply insane.

Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.

Lin Yi reacted extremely quickly. The moment his opponent's assassination attempt missed, he had already prepared to launch a counterattack.

The First Move of the Epiphyllum!
With less than a body length between them, and Lin Yi having the advantage of building up momentum, Killing Saint didn't even have time to retract his attack, let alone create distance.

Although he was a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form with profound skills, even if he took the full damage from the Three Styles of Ephemeral Flower, he wouldn't actually be seriously injured.

But in a battle between masters, the fight is all about this one fine line!
If they suffer a setback, Lin Yi will inevitably launch further suppression, and the initiative will still be in Lin Yi's hands.

Judging from Emperor Saint's two previous experiences, if he doesn't handle this well, he is very likely to suffer a complete defeat today!

Without any hesitation, Kill Saint directly used his Dharma Form to forcefully break through.

The Dharma Form Break is an essential skill for experts and is incredibly useful, but it has a drawback: it cannot be used again for a short period of time after each use.

Just like how he can no longer use the Thorn Emperor for a short period of time.
