No Room For Attack Or Retreat

No matter how strong and forceful Ma Zhu was, he wasn't fast! Lin Yi made such a conclusion after observing the past two attacks. Qinggong was one of Lin Yi's strengths so he decided to use sneak attacks to win!

It was a lie that he wanted to fight Ma Zhu head-on. If he did that, he was only accelerating his death!

"Haha, die!" Ma Zhu was pleased as he thought his fists were about to land on Lin Yi, but abruptly discovered that Lin Yi disappeared in front of him! Ma Zhu froze, "Huh? Where are you?"

"Here!" Lin Yi's words were followed by an enormous bang as his fists landed on Ma Zhu's spine!

Lin Yi used all his strength and maximized what he had to harm Ma Zhu severely within one blow! If Ma Zhu was an earth division master, Lin Yi's blow would only give a scratch. But now there was only one level difference between them, although Lin Yi was unable to kill him, he could make Ma Zhu suffer from it!

It was Lin Yi's method; sneak up on Ma Zhu more and he will die! Although Ma Zhu was of a higher rank, wouldn't it be fine if he didn't fight Ma Zhu head-on?

His teacher once taught him, if the opponent is stronger than you, then you must avoid his strengths and attack them by surprise! There are no rules in killing. The ultimate goal of a killer is to kill your target.

Lin Yi's fists crashed heavily on Ma Zh's back but his expressions became extremely ugly! Lin Yi felt like his fists hit an iron panel—as if it wasn't a human body!

The aftershock of the attack also made Lin Yi tremble!

"Puu…" A mouthful of blood gushed out of Lin Yi's mouth. The power he used partially bounced back to him.

Despite Lin Yi's surprise, he did not stop. After the attack, he quickly backed off.

As expected, the second Lin Yi backed off, Ma Zhu turned around with his fists in the air but missed the target!

"Brat, aren't you fast? Hahahahaha!" Ma Zhu laughed, "How do you feel? You must feel good! Tsk tsk, you are spitting blood. It looks like you did use a lot of strength just then! But you didn't think that you'd get a taste of that too, did you? Hahahahaha!"

Lin Yi glanced at Ma Zhu in astonishment and frowned in disbelief! Ma Zhu didn't even look like he was hurt anywhere and it seemed like he wasn't even the one who took the attack!

"You… Aren't injured?" Lin Yi took a deep breath and finally steadied himself. He laughed bitterly; he tried to take advantage yet he was in a worse situation. Most of the power he used bounced back to himself.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. My Golden Shield is on the eighth level already!" Ma Zhu scorned, "I'm not scared of your attacks, but you will die if I hit you once! How's that, fun? Wahahahaha! What can you do?"

"Eighth level of Golden Shield! No wonder…" Lin Yi finally realized it. No wonder Ma Zhu looked as if nothing happened after receiving his blow and he was injured himself! He practiced the Golden Shield!

There weren't many people who practiced this because the progress is extremely painful. They had to train their hearts, and their muscles and bones. Without a tough and durable mind, they wouldn't be able to perfect it through numerous difficulties and sufferings.

Zhen Yingjun watched as Lin Yi backed off and even spat blood, he cheered happily, "Hail the almighty Master Ma! Kill this brat!"

Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu almost stopped breathing at this moment! Lin Yi had always been invincible in their hearts but now Lin Yi was bleeding! And it wasn't when he took a blow, but when he attacked!

It was surely odd! Although Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu found it strange, but now they knew that Ma Zhu was stronger than Lin Yi! Ma Zhu didn't even look like he was harmed at all!

"Lin Yi!" Chu Mengyao's heart ached when she saw Lin Yi getting injured. His thigh still had a bullet in it! Chu Mengyao knew that if Lin Yi didn't come to save her, he wouldn't be hurt at all and he didn't have to fight Ma Zhu! Why did he have to protect her? Was it for the 30,000 yuan salary? He didn't have to do this!

"Hah!" Lin Yi smiled at Miss and wiped off the blood on his mouth, "I'll kill them and take you two home."

In an instant, Chu Mengyao's eyes teared up and tears rushed out uncontrollably/ He was always so nice to her…

"Okay!" Chu Mengyao nodded furiously, "We'll go home together…"

"Kill me? How funny," Ma Zhu snorted disdainfully upon hearing Lin Yi's words, "I'll stand here and let you hit me, can you kill me that way?"

Lin Yi looked at Ma Zhu vigilantly and considered what the countermeasure could he. Lin Yi could say that Ma Zhu was the biggest rival he had to face after coming to Songshan. He wasn't only one level ahead of him, but he also practiced the Golden Shield! In other words, all physical attacks were useless unless he was of a higher rank than Ma Zhu. Otherwise, he was no opponent to Ma Zhu!

What should he do? There was no room for Lin Yi attack or retreat! When he was on a mission, he could run away if the enemy was too strong without feeling bad. His teacher said that there's no need to be afraid of running out of firewood with a mountain!

But now, Lin Yi couldn't run away! What would happen to Miss and Shu if he left? Could Lin Yi leave them here? No, he couldn't!

Lin Yi silently started chanting the Art of Dragon Master, trying to repair his internal injuries. But because he didn't enter the space in the jade pendant, the result was extremely weak.

"What? You aren't going to attack? If aren't, I'm going to kill you!" Ma Zhu laughed and dashed towards Lin Yi again!

Lin Yi moved away flexibly before Ma Zhu could approach him but he panicked. He couldn't continue to fight like this!

But other than avoiding Ma Zhu's attack with his agility, he didn't know what he could do!
