Chapter 12642

Even though Lin Yi's current state allows him to surpass Zhang Baiyu, his limit is still his limit, and it's not something that can be easily broken through.

Some people couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity! If he could summon magical beasts like the Food Saint, or build a bunch of defensive fortifications like Lu Changgu, he might have been able to pass the level smoothly!"

Everyone agreed.

Whether it's the Food Saint, Lu Changgu, or even Cao Luoshen, although their final displayed strength was not as good as Zhang Baiyu's, let alone Lin Yi's at this moment, at least their theoretical upper limit was higher.

If any one of them could combine Zhang Baiyu's exceptional micro-management skills, achieving victory would be no difficult task.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Yi is at best second to Zhang Baiyu. If we have to say something, he is only slightly better than Zhang Baiyu. Ultimately, he cannot break through this deadlock.

The next second, a domain with a radius of fifty meters quietly bloomed, centered on Lin Yi.

Eight Gates Town Area.

"what's the situation?"

Everyone was completely baffled.

When the twenty demons, their attack power doubled, roared in, Lin Yi murmured, "Jing Gate, open."

As the words were spoken, the number of civilians suddenly tripled from one hundred to a full four hundred!
"Is there such a thing?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "Did the God of the Track not only strengthen the demons, but also the common people? Why didn't Zhang Baiyu receive this treatment just now?"

Zhang Fengxiao was even more shocked: "Impossible!"

With the intensification of the demonic tide, the number of demons under his command did indeed exceed the theoretical limit for ordinary people, but this limit only applies to one hundred ordinary people.

Now that there are four hundred civilians, that's a completely different story.

If four hundred civilians fell into the hands of other challengers, they would most likely still become cannon fodder. But now Lin Yi is in command!
The power that four hundred civilians could unleash was on a completely different level from what people had conventionally expected!
No one expected that Lin Yi actually had such a trump card up his sleeve.

However, everyone soon realized that something was wrong.

These three hundred newly emerged civilians possessed no real offensive power whatsoever; they were merely a group of empty illusions.

"Trying to pass off inferior goods as superior ones? Hah, you think you can get through this?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fengxiao immediately felt relieved and wanted to command the demons to attack the true forms of the hundred civilians.

But then he was dumbfounded.

He couldn't even distinguish between the real body and the illusion.

Although he is not as good as Zhang Baiyu, he is still the second son of the Strategist, a genius who has received top-level training from the Strategist's lineage. Putting aside other aspects, he is absolutely superior to his peers in terms of primordial spirit.

He started learning to distinguish between real and illusory beings when he was five years old; it was simpler than eating and drinking.

The result was that they couldn't see any difference at all.

In front of this group of civilians, Zhang Fengxiao actually felt like a green recruit.

To be honest, if these were just illusions of Lin Yi himself, he would accept it if he couldn't tell the difference, given Lin Yi's level of strength.

But they were just a group of ordinary people, nothing special.

Zhang Fengxiao couldn't even recognize him, which made him seriously question his existence.

Even he himself couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake, so expecting a group of demons with little intelligence to discern the truth on their own was simply a pipe dream.

In just eight seconds, two-fifths of the twenty demons in the arena were wiped out by concentrated fire.

There are twelve left.

The good news is that each of the eight gates of the Eight Gates Suppression Domain can only be activated for eight seconds at a time.

The three hundred illusions of civilians immediately vanished into thin air.

Zhang Fengxiao was puzzled, but seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ordinary people like him wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder in the outside world, but in Lin Yi's hands, the sense of oppression he felt was terrifying.

"You can only maintain an illusion for such a short time? Is that all you're capable of?"

Zhang Fengxiao started being sarcastic again, clicking his tongue and saying, "This half-baked auxiliary move is already a real headache for you, isn't it?"

Lin Yi responded calmly, "Any more would be a waste."

While speaking, he manipulated a hundred civilians to devour the remaining twelve demons.

Twenty demons exceed the limit, but twelve is well within the limit.

The difference of just eight demons resulted in a world of difference between Zhang Baiyu's fate and that of the demons.

After the eighteen waves, Zhang Baiyu was left with only two wounded soldiers, while Lin Yi's hundred civilians remained intact.

"..."

Zhang Fengxiao's eyelids twitched violently.

According to his expectations, even in the worst-case scenario, Lin Yi would at most manage to get through the eighteenth wave, leaving at most twenty civilians.

This was his most extreme estimate.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this!
The crowd couldn't help but murmur among themselves, "The demonic tide doesn't seem like such a big deal after all?"

These words would be sarcastic and ironic if spoken to any other challenger, but they seem perfectly natural when applied to Lin Yi at this moment.

If the demonic tide is really that terrifying, how come there were zero casualties among a hundred civilians?
The nineteenth wave of evil spirits has arrived.

It's still double the attack and double the number, but the demons are even stronger than the eighteenth wave just now!

A mere hundred civilians were like a swarm of ants before them.

The key issue is that the View Gate has already been opened once and cannot be opened again in a short period of time, so even if Lin Yi wanted to create an illusion to bolster his courage, he couldn't.

Fortunately, the Eight Gates Town has more than just this one scenic gate.

"Open the door."

With a low murmur from Lin Yi, the boundary of the Eight Gates Town instantly transformed into a substantial barrier, directly keeping the demons outside.

Even with the enhanced strength of these twenty demons, they couldn't budge the barrier in the slightest.

Moreover, the barrier isolates external evil spirits without affecting the output of the civilians inside.

One hundred civilians, protected by the barrier, stood guard at its edge, taking turns bleeding the demons outside.

"What kind of bullshit move is this?"

Zhang Fengxiao is going crazy.

He had been gathering information about Lin Yi for some time and believed he knew Lin Yi's background very well. However, neither the illusion just now nor the transparent barrier now were within his comprehension.

He'd studied Lin Yi for so long, but it felt like he was studying the air itself.

In the blink of an eye, a group of demons were all injured.

Even if they are stronger, given their current one-sided beating, they will eventually be worn down and killed!

The expressions of the parties outside the venue were subtle.

"Could it be that he really beat the game?"

Compared to the controversial Lin Yi, they definitely disliked Zhang Fengxiao more and wished that Lin Yi could kill Zhang Fengxiao.

But as the saying goes, I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm also afraid he's driving a Land Rover.

If Lin Yi were to win a decisive victory this time, they would feel really bad.

It highlights a dilemma.
