Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 108 The First Protagonist Killed
Blood rained down on his face, and Wei Xiaobao stared in disbelief!
This oppressive feeling... it's definitely him... Although the person in front of him is covered up tightly, Wei Xiaobao is certain that it is Lin Yi.

"Spicy Mom! This pretty boy's martial arts are so high, I want to kill him, but don't let him turn me into a bloody mess with one palm strike..."

Yu Huatian drew his three-edged sword and shouted at the stunned group of martial arts masters, "Why aren't you making a move?"

The group suddenly realized that they were all unorthodox martial artists from the underworld, skilled in martial arts but unknown in reputation. If they retreated now, they would surely be punished later.

For a moment, everyone had no choice but to take out their weapons and attack. No matter how much effort they put in, they had to show some attitude.

Yu Huatian lunged forward with a thrust, but Lin Yi lowered his stance, his left palm forming a circular motion while his right palm moved straight forward, unleashing the move "Dragon Appears in the Field."

After a few exchanges of palm and sword, Yu Huatian's breath became suffocated. He felt the opponent's palm force surging like a raging tide, each wave stronger than the last, with seemingly inexhaustible internal energy.

Seeing Hao Mi, Bu Tai, and the others attack, Yu Huatian took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle and waited on the sidelines for an opportunity.

Several martial arts masters cursed inwardly and unleashed their ultimate moves to attack Lin Yi.

Lin Yi casually slapped a swordsman away, the Hejian Duo had already reached his face, Bu Tai struck his throat with a pressure point stick, and Hao Mi thrust two judge's pens toward his chest.

Lin Yi took a breath and with a whoosh, his left palm thrust forward to attack Bu Tai. Bu Tai quickly pulled back his pressure point peg to protect his face, but Lin Yi's move was a feint. His right palm suddenly shot out from under his left palm, striking Bu Tai's lower abdomen.

boom!
Bu Tai sat down hard, cracking the floor tiles, but his strength didn't diminish, and he flipped over backward.

Lin Yi, having successfully landed a move in the abyss, followed up with a sweeping right palm strike towards the tip of Judge Hao Mi's pen.

The judge's pen was just an inch away from piercing Lin Yi's body when a loud crack was heard, and the iron pen body was smashed in two. Lin Yi's palm strike paused for a moment, then erupted again, landing directly on Hao Mi's chest.

boom!
Hao Mi coughed up blood and his body shot upwards at an angle, flying three or four zhang high and out of the courtyard.

At the same time, Lin Yi heard a whooshing sound of wind. Yu Huatian, seizing the opportunity, took advantage of the moment Lin Yi was dealing with the two from Hejian to launch a sneak attack with two of the three swords from his Three-Edged Sword!
Yu Huatian, who has mastered the Sunflower Manual, is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding assassins in the world. He seizes opportunities skillfully and strikes with extreme speed, leaving no room for escape.

Lin Yi smiled, and with a quick flick of his right index finger, two skillfully nimble Shangyang swords pierced out, blocking the path of the hidden weapon.

Clang! Clang! Two crisp sounds rang out, sparks flew, and the two swords broke apart.

The entire arena fell silent! Xia Qingqing above stared in disbelief, while the others below retreated, no longer daring to approach.

Within moments, Lin Yi moved with lightning speed, killing several masters with a single palm strike!
Yu Huatian was a highly skilled and renowned martial artist, known as the number one expert in the capital and the number one expert in both the East and West Depots. However, at this moment, despite using all his skills, whether fighting head-on or attacking from behind, he could not gain any advantage!
"Six Meridian Divine Sword, you are Lin Yi," Yu Huatian said coldly. "You colluded with the rebel leader Yuan Chengzhi to assassinate..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Wei Xiaobao's eyes darted around as he quickly interrupted.

"Sect Leader Lin is devastatingly handsome, why does he need to cover his face? He could drown you with a single spit. Uh... this expert, although also handsome and skilled in martial arts, is still far inferior to Sect Leader Lin!"

Lin Yi used Lingbo Weibu to close the distance, his ten fingers thrusting repeatedly, several solid, invisible sword energies crisscrossing and weaving into an impenetrable sword net, attacking Yu Huatian like a storm.

Yu Huatian gritted his teeth, gripped his longsword tightly, and swung it to protect his vital points. The longsword danced rapidly, its cold light flashing in circles, like a shield of light.

Dangdangdang——

Yu Huatian's longsword unleashed countless invisible sword energies, but there were always gaps in his sword circle. One invisible sword energy pierced through the sword circle and struck Yu Huatian, leaving a bloody hole through his body. After a few strikes, he was covered in blood.

Lin Yi stopped, turned around and charged towards the remaining unorthodox martial arts masters, Western Depot agents, and Qing Dynasty imperial guards...

For a moment, it was truly like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. His movements were ghostly and unpredictable. Wherever he went, people fell in droves, blood splattered everywhere, and elites from all sides suffered broken limbs and fractures, either dead or wounded.

In contrast, Yu Huatian was riddled with holes, his body riddled with bullets, and blood gushed out from his body like a leaky vent.

Yu Huatian knelt down with a thud. He slammed his sword into the ground, and with a loud bang, the utterly ravaged sword shattered into countless pieces. Yu Huatian plunged headfirst into a pool of blood, lifeless.

Lin Yi went on a killing spree, and everyone fled for their lives. Wei Xiaobao also hurriedly escaped from the courtyard.

Xia Qingqing shouted from above, "Save Brother Yuan!"

Lin Yi had just turned away from the battle circle, leaped over the courtyard wall, and saw Wei Xiaobao being surrounded by people fleeing for his life, so he stepped onto the wall.

With a distance of three or four zhang, Lin Yi raised both palms and used the move "Double Dragons Taking Water". Under the action of the two soft forces, the running Wei Xiaobao was sent flying backward and crashed into Lin Yi.

He grabbed Wei Xiaobao by the back of the neck and said, "Hand over Yuan Chengzhi."

Wei Xiaobao was terrified. Seeing the others still fleeing for their lives, he angrily cursed, "You damned bastards! You bunch of dead turtles and rotten tortoises, why don't you stop... Quickly find Yuan Chengzhi! A bunch of stupid idiots who gave birth to sons without an anus... Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

After Wei Xiaobao launched into a tirade, the imperial guards finally stopped and returned to their courtyard, drenched in sweat.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Lin Yi with a fawning smile and said, "Sir, we have no grudge against each other..."

Lin Yi swiftly silenced him by pressing his pressure point, and laughed, "Today you set up an ambush to try and kill me, which has created a new grudge... Oh, right, I robbed you of 500,000 taels in Jiangcheng, which is an old grudge."

Wei Xiaobao's face turned deathly pale. He knew he was doomed today and was terrified.

However, he was helpless, as his martial arts skills were extremely weak, and he was completely subdued by Lin Yi and unable to resist at all.

Having had his speech impeded, even a silver tongue capable of eloquently speaking to the dead is rendered useless!
A moment later, two burly men carried a bloodied man out of the courtyard.

"Brother Yuan!"

Xia Qingqing screamed in anguish as she rushed forward, startling the two burly men who quickly retreated.

The blood-soaked man was none other than Yuan Chengzhi.

Without anyone to support him, Yuan Chengzhi fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Yi was shocked... He had excellent eyesight and saw that Yuan Chengzhi's arms and legs were weak and limp when he fell, clearly indicating that he was paralyzed from head to toe!
"Brother Yuan, what's wrong?"

Xia Qingqing rushed over, her face covered in tears. Yuan Chengzhi could only blink weakly, unable to even speak.

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly looked in one direction, his brows furrowed.

He carried Wei Xiaobao and leaped onto the rooftop, where he saw a faint figure approaching from afar. It was heading towards the imperial city.

Lin Yi was still more than fifty feet away from him, and could only see a blurry figure, which made him feel uneasy.

"Chongyangzi!"

Lin Yi sensed something was wrong and looked down at Xia Qingqing, who was crying her eyes out: "Aren't you leaving? If you don't leave, you'll be staying here." He called out twice before Xia Qingqing stopped crying and flew up with Yuan Chengzhi.

At that moment, the figure landed on the courtyard wall.

Lin Yi looked him over and saw that the man had a full head of black hair and seemed to be a middle-aged man. He wore a gray-white Taoist robe, had a thin face, and a handsome and refined appearance, with a serene and divine air.

He said calmly, "Leave the Qing envoy behind, and I will let you leave."

Lin Yi scanned the surroundings to make sure there were no other ambushes. He looked at Xia Qingqing and said, "Take him and leave first."

Yuan Chengzhi cast a grateful glance his way, his mouth moving slightly as if he wanted to speak but no sound came out.

Xia Qingqing wept uncontrollably, then leaped up with Yuan Chengzhi, disappearing into the night after several leaps.

The man then said, "I never break my promises, so you can leave without worry."

Lin Yi was certain that this person was Chongyangzi.

Because it's impossible for there to be two unparalleled masters within the capital city.

Now that Wei Xiaobao is in his hands, if he wants to kill someone, not even a god could stop him. That's why Chongyangzi kindly advised him against it.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Are you Wang Chongyang?"

Chongyangzi said calmly, "Wang Chongyang has been dead for forty years."

Lin Yi said, "I'll find out the truth when I go to Zhongnan Mountain next time and dig up Wang Chongyang's tomb."

Chongyangzi's face was completely calm and composed.

Lin Yi asked a few more questions, but Chongyangzi remained silent. He didn't urge Lin Yi to release Wei Xiaobao either, but simply stood there quietly.

Lin Yi knew the reason.

In Chongyangzi's view, everything was under his control, and he was extremely patient, so he was naturally not in a hurry.

Lin Yi smiled slightly, threw Wei Xiaobao out, and flew away.

Chongyangzi reached out to catch it, but his expression changed when Wei Xiaobao flew into the air.

"You dare, Shuzi."

Lin Yi revealed his murderous intent today, having already formed a deadly feud with Wei Xiaobao, so of course he wouldn't let him go.

The saying goes, "Never offend a petty person." Although he was confident that he was not afraid of any of Wei Xiaobao's schemes and tricks, he would find it difficult to guard against Wei Xiaobao's attacks on his women, so he had to eliminate them completely.

So when Lin Yi threw Wei Xiaobao out, he had already shattered Wei Xiaobao's heart meridian, beyond saving!

Chongyangzi leaped out and gave chase.

Lin Yi controlled his speed, thinking, "If I use my full lightness skill, it won't be difficult to shake him off... Even a terrestrial immortal is no more than this."

Under the cover of night in Shenjing, two dark figures sped past like lightning.

The person behind them kept accelerating, and the distance between them gradually decreased.

In an instant, the two were only three or four zhang apart.

Lin Yi landed on a rooftop, suddenly turned around, his dantian surging, his yin and yang true energy surging wildly, his face tense, and his hands slowly pushed out.

boom!
This strike was a move he created himself by learning all the martial arts in the world, combining his insights into fast swordsmanship, and using the Six Meridians Divine Sword's energy circulation method.

The internal force gathered into a huge, invisible sword aura, solid yet sharp, piercing out with lightning speed.

The enormous, invisible sword energy was as if it had a physical form; wherever it passed, roof beams and tiles were torn apart and shattered!

Chongyangzi also looked solemn and extended both palms.

His palms moved seemingly very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, when the giant sword energy struck, the wind from his palms was already howling.

boom!
Both of them were sent flying backwards and shot out!

Lin Yi felt like he had struck it lucky again. He was so shocked that he couldn't breathe. He did several somersaults in the air before he was able to steady himself and land on the ground.

He staggered back several steps, then coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He quickly looked up at Chongyangzi and saw that Chongyangzi had also landed on the ground... Chongyangzi took three steps back, sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes, holding his hands in a defensive posture, ignoring Lin Yi's presence.

Lin Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slightly puzzled.

Chongyangzi's sleeves were ripped to shreds, and he looked somewhat disheveled... but Lin Yi could guess what had just happened.

Just now, Chongyangzi's palm force passed through, and his invisible sword energy also pierced through.

It was too late for him to withdraw his strength to defend, so he could only withstand the palm strike and suffered serious internal injuries.

Chongyangzi truly lived up to his reputation as the greatest figure in the world forty years ago, managing to seal that sword energy in a moment of crisis.

Chongyangzi felt it wasn't worth getting hurt while chasing him, so he immediately neutralized the sword energy.

If Lin Yi were to step forward at this moment, Chongyangzi would be distracted and unable to concentrate, and would naturally suffer the backlash from the sword energy.

However, Lin Yi's situation is also not good, and the probability of him winning and surviving is slim.

Lin Yi touched his chest, which was throbbing with pain. He took a deep breath and leaped away.

After walking for more than a hundred feet, Lin Yi looked back and saw that Chongyangzi was still sitting in the same place, with white mist rising from his head.

"Let's call it a 30/70 split, okay..."
