However, the smile on Yu Zhe's face instantly froze. Looking at Lin Yi who was still standing in front of him, he blurted out in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
With the power of the Twenty-Four Sword Forms, even a mid stage foundation establishment practitioner wouldn't be able to stand here, let alone a mere foundation establishment practitioner like Lin Yi, even if he wasn't dismembered by the sword energy!
Lin Yi, on the other hand, was covered in blood. He replied with a faint smile, "I'm really sorry. I already expected your second sword Qi. The reason why I deliberately let you hit me was just to trick you again. I'm a humorous person. I'm really sorry to disappoint you."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi didn't wait for his opponent to react. He directly activated the True Qi that he had been accumulating for a long time and hit his opponent's chest with his palm. With the enhancement of the Essence Necklace, the 22 Forms of the Mad Fire Eight Trigrams Palm!
At this moment, Yu Zhe had just used the 24 Forms of the Deadly Continuous Sword and consumed a large amount of True Qi. He was completely in a state of exhaustion and was completely defenseless against Lin Yi's palm.
A middle stage Foundation Establishment Realm master was directly hit by Lin Yi's palm and flew ten feet away. His chest made a cracking sound, and not only did it cave in, blood kept spurting out of his mouth in a bloody arc. He couldn't even perform the most basic Quick Recovery Movement. He smashed onto the ground and didn't know if he was dead or alive!
"In front of absolute power, all schemes are just a joke. That's true. I'll take this as an early praise from you." Lin Yi looked at Yu Zhe, who didn't know if he was dead or alive. He sucked in a cold breath and struggled to straighten his body. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand to look at his bloody left armpit. Fortunately, although the injury wasn't light, it wasn't too serious. It wouldn't be too troublesome to recover.
The reason why the injury appeared on his left armpit was because Lin Yi had predicted his opponent's attack and prepared in advance.
Originally, he could have tried to avoid the second sword and retreat. He had lost the opportunity to kill his opponent, and it would not be easy to find such an opportunity again.
Therefore, he came up with this plan on the spur of the moment. He deliberately adjusted his body so that the second sword energy would pierce through his left armpit, giving others the false impression that the sword energy had pierced through his left arm. However, in fact, this injury was far from fatal to Lin Yi!
After deceiving the other party's eyes, the next step would be simple. With the 22 styles of the Raging Fire Eight Trigrams Palm, the world fell silent.
Originally, with Yu Zhe's cautiousness and cunning, no matter how much effort Lin Yi put in, it would be hard for him to find a chance to kill Yu Zhe. This was because if something went wrong, Yu Zhe would immediately react. Even if Lin Yi used a killing move, he might not be able to kill Yu Zhe.
However … After being burned by the Frenzied Fire Fist, he gave up on thinking and chose to use his strength to crush Lin Yi. This was the root of his tragedy.
When both sides' true strength was about the same, psychological warfare was the key to deciding who would have the last laugh. After all, both sides' strength was about the same. What could one use to crush the other?
Therefore. In this battle, when Yu Zhe gave up thinking, the winner had already been decided.
Lin Yi let out a long breath. After calming his breathing, he walked towards Yu Zhe.
Although today's battle was a psychological victory, it was not easy at all. As the saying goes, to get rid of evil, one must cut the weeds at the roots. Now that things had developed to this point, he naturally would not let the other live.
If the other was already dead, then that would be for the best. But if he was not dead, then he had to take advantage of the fact that the other was heavily injured and unable to move to finish him off. Otherwise, if he found a chance to slip away, there would be no end of trouble.
As he slowly approached the other, he paid attention to every movement on the other's body. However, when Lin Yi was less than two feet away from him … Yu Zhe was still lying on the ground, facing the yellow soil. There was no sign of life. It felt like he was completely dead.
Not normal! Lin Yi was instantly alarmed. If it was a peak early stage foundational cultivator, his Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm twenty-two moves could definitely kill him. But if it was used on a middle stage foundational cultivator like Yu Zhe, it was a bit of a stretch.
Even with the power of the Profound Qi necklace, the most it could do was seriously injure the other and bring him to the brink of death. It was unlikely to completely kill him. It definitely wouldn't be like this, where not a single sound came out.
With the cunning that this fellow had displayed before, it was not impossible for him to feign death at this time, numb himself, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. In fact, it was highly possible!
If it was someone else, they might want to get closer to confirm whether the other was dead or alive. But Lin Yi stopped two feet away. As he used the space in the jade to replenish his inner qi, he secretly circulated his qi to prepare the twenty-first move of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm.
Although the power of the twenty-first move of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm couldn't be compared to the twenty-second move, it was more than enough in this situation.
Lin Yi had already made up his mind. It didn't matter if the guy was faking his death or not, he'd give him another slap first. Once he was done, the guy wouldn't be able to fake his death anymore even if he wanted to, because he'd be dead through and through, with no chance of survival.
As expected, after sensing Lin Yi's intention, the already dead "corpse" on the ground finally couldn't hold back anymore. He suddenly rolled to the side to escape from Lin Yi's slap. At the same time, his hand sprinkled a silver-gray powder.
Lime? This was Lin Yi's first reaction. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. A middle stage foundational cultivator couldn't win in a fight, so he threw lime to escape. This kind of deja vu of a street thug was a bit too funny, wasn't it?
However, Lin Yi immediately realized that this throw of "lime" was unusual. Not only could it be used to block vision, but more importantly, it could also explode.
Boom! The earth shook and the mountains shook. The explosion of this small throw of "lime" actually created a small mushroom cloud, which really shocked Lin Yi.
If he hadn't gathered his qi in advance and prepared the twenty-first move of the Frenzied Fire Eight Trigrams Palm, he decisively used it to offset most of the frontal impact. Fortunately, he wasn't too close just now. Otherwise, if he was caught off guard, just this explosion alone would definitely cause him more injuries. In that case, it might even be possible for the opponent to find an opportunity to counterattack.
This was simply a powerful artificially created dust explosion!
