Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1399 – Concealing the Real Strength?

In Zhang Liju’s medical notes, Lin Yi also learned that the Wannianchun box was used to store herbs and prevent them from eroding and preserving the original quality. Furthermore, it could be used to store the Fire spirit fruit! Remembering how the herbs didn’t erode after staying in the box for so many years, he was certain that it was all due to the box’s special function.

However, his Wannianchun box was too small. Lin Yi didn’t know how big a Fire spirit fruit was but from the medical notes. He found out that the size of the fruit was big because Zhang Liju could only wrap the fruit up with two handkerchiefs. Judging from the size of the fruit and the box, he was certain that only one fruit could be stored in the box. In this case, he could only save Feng Xiaoxiao but not her mother.

In Lin Yi’s perspective, he had no choice but to bring Feng Xiaoxiao along with him now just like what Zhang Liju did- he brought his friend to the extreme journey to the north, climbing the snow mountain. However, this was no hard task for Lin Yi. Feng Xiaoxiao was sealed in an ice coffin. There was no need to take care of her at all.

Just when Lin Yi was in deep thought, Elder Yu, who was not far from him, started to make his move!

Although Lin Yi had his gaze fixed on the medical notes, he had been observing the surrounding all this while- opening his senses to the max. After all, Lin Yi just couldn’t relax with all those hidden traps in the tomb–who knew if a spirit beast would show up out of a sudden. However, no spirit beast appeared. Only Elder Yu started making his move.

Suddenly, Elder Yu started channeling his practice, raising his strength to the peak- early phase of the earth class! Elder Yu wanted to kill Lin Yi with one hit on his chest while he was reading!

Elder Yu was so pissed off at Lin Yi that he couldn’t even say how much he hated him. This guy was so cunning with this stupid qi bomb. He couldn’t do anything against him at all- even an earth class master like Elder Yu didn’t dare fight him face to face!

So he gambled all his hope on this one hit, hoping that he could kill Lin Yi with this sneak attack. Even if Lin Yi wasn’t killed, he would surely be damaged heavily. Elder Yu was good at calculating, but he didn’t think that Lin Yi could dodge his attack at the last second, with much agility and speed, Lin Yi dodged Elder Yu’s attack swiftly!

“What are you trying to do? Kill me and steal my treasure?” Lin Yi smiled coldly at Elder Yu, a cold smirk on his face. As expected, after leaving the tomb, Elder Yu’s patience had run out–he tried to kill Lin Yi and rob him!

“Your agility is really something to be proud of!” Elder Yu’s face turned extremely ugly when Lin Yi dodged his attack. “So what if you caught me red-handed? Yes, I was trying to kill you, so what? Little brat, I’ve decided to end you today. You might have dodged my last attack, but next year, today will be your memorial day! You’ve to blame yourself for stealing the treasures I want!”

“Did you mean that you could win me in fighting?” Lin Yi looked at Elder Yu in wonder after listening to Elder Yu’s threat.

“You might have your qi bomb as your ultimate, but you are still a mystic no matter what! If I were to fight you with all my strength, I could kill you for sure!” Elder Yu continued. “Even if I was injured from the fight, you won’t last long, either!”

“It seems like a plan?” Lin Yi nodded and replied faintly.

“You’re right, little brat, if you don’t want to die, hand the medical and personal notes over, and as well as the qi gathering pill, I will let you live!” Elder Yu looked at Lin Yi and said the words one by one.

Lin Yi didn’t know if he should laugh or cry with Elder Yu’s threat- wasn’t this Elder Yu a big fat joke? After babbling for so long, he still didn’t have the balls to attack- he was still trying to get the items from him with his stupid threats!? If this was Lin Yi, after failing the first attempt to negotiate, he would have fought and snatched the items over. There was no way he would bullsh*t so much like Elder Yu.

It showed how big a coward Elder Yu was. He wouldn’t fight unless needed. In other words, he had no guarantee of winning over Lin Yi in a full fight. Elder Yu’s threat had become the joke of the century to Lin Yi.

“What if I don’t hand them over?” Lin Yi smiled.

“No? then I’ll have to use my full force and fight you to death!” Elder Yu was pissed off. Lin Yi was looking for troubles. He refused to be convinced until he was faced with grim reality! How easy things would be if Lin Yi could be a good boy and all, but he had to choose the hard way to end things between them!

“Okay, I’ll give up my life to injure you permanently.” Lin Yi said faintly. “Guys, stand up. After I injure this Elder Yu badly, you two go gang him up and snatch the qi gathering pill from him as well!”

Lin Yi had the jade space as his golden finger; he had no reason to fear Elder Yu. Besides, he had General Weiwu with him as insurance, Lin Yi wasn’t afraid of death, but he would never die from this fight.

However, Elder Yu was different. Lin Yi could possibly injure him to a critical state and had Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian both mystic class masters ending his life! Even a strong master was weak when he was badly injured, so it was totally normal for a mystic class master to kill an earth master when he was at the lowest point. Besides, there were two mystics now?

Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian had been waiting to be summoned by Lin Yi all this time. They stood up and started channeling their strength when they were summoned, revealing their true strength in front of Elder Yu- the strength of an early phase mystic class!

“EH?” Elder Yu’s eyes went extremely wide, and his jaw dropped on the ground when he saw two mystics standing in front of him, was this even plausible? Weren’t both of them at the peak late phase of the golden class? When did they become mystic? Elder Yu was flabbergasted by the scene and couldn’t even speak anymore. “You two…. when did you two become mystic?”

“Yes they are mystics, is there a problem?” Lin Yi smiled faintly. “They were concealing their true strength back then, were they not allowed to do that?”

Naturally, Lin Yi wouldn’t reveal the secret to Elder Yu. He wasn’t confident enough to make Elder Yu stay, so revealing his secret would only bring him unwanted troubles. If people were to find out he had this ability, it would definitely attract inevitable chaos into his life!

“Concealing their true strength?” Elder Yu’s face turned dark- he had lost all his confidence in winning this fight now. Formally, he thought that Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian were both just golden class masters, they might be one inch away from breaking through to mystic class, but the difference in strength was still great- they were two levels lower than him, so Elder Yu didn’t really put them in his eyes, ignoring their existence completely. As far as he was concerned, even if he was heavily injured, two golden class masters were still nothing to him. They held no threats at all!

However, being mystic was a vast difference. Two mystics teaming up to kill an injured earth-class was tiring and required a lot of effort, but it was definitely possible!
