Chase! This was the first thought that came to Lin Yi's mind. However, at this moment, the other party should have already escaped for a while, and it was difficult to find the right direction in such a short time.
Just as Lin Yi was about to find a direction to try his luck, he heard footsteps coming from afar. His heart suddenly tightened. If the matter of him chasing Yu Zhe was seen by others, then this matter would be troublesome.
After all, this guy was an inner court disciple of Soaring Sky Pavilion. If Lin Yi dared to kill him in front of others, it was simply challenging the three great pavilions in public. Even if he was courting death, it would not be in such a way.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel helpless. His current state was a little better than Yu Zhe's, but it wasn't that much better. Putting aside the fact that he wouldn't be able to continue the chase after being found, if it was someone with bad intentions and wanted to take advantage of him, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.
To be safe, Lin Yi could only give up the idea of chasing and killing him. As he quickly left the scene, he sighed endlessly.
This guy was really cunning and difficult to deal with. Even this couldn't kill him, and he actually ran away. Was this guy born in the year of the weasel?
Moreover, this guy's trump card, other than the life-taking chain sword that was split into two, he actually still had this strange and powerful powder. He was really cunning and could not be underestimated.
However, this time, such a great opportunity was run away. In the future, it would be very difficult to get rid of this person. After all, although he knew that the other party was an inner court disciple of Soaring Sky Pavilion, he did not even know who his name was. It would be very difficult to encounter such an opportunity where there was no one around.
Plus, even if there was a chance like this in the future, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to play mind games like he did this time, given the cunning, caution, and strength Lin Yi had displayed. Unless he used an even stronger power to crush him, it would be almost impossible to play mind games like this time.
"Forget it, since he ran away, it can't be helped. It seems that when I use the Thousand Silk Mask and the identity of Lin Second in the future, I have to be more careful."
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he was wearing the Thousand Silk Mask today to hide his identity. Otherwise, if he were to become enemies with the other party with his real identity, he would not be able to live in peace in the future.
He already had Xu Lingchong and Meng Jueguang as his sworn enemies. If he were to add the cunning and cruel Yu Zhe to the mix, he would have to waste his time with this bunch of idiots every day in the Welcoming Pavilion if nothing unexpected happened. Then what was the point of concentrating on cultivation!
Avoiding the eyes and ears of others on the way, Lin Yi smoothly returned to his cave in the Welcoming Pavilion. He immediately began to heal his wounds. Although he felt some regret that he hadn't been able to kill Yu Zhe, the fact that he had successfully bought the Star Inkstone today could already be considered a great success.
It was a treasure that could help people perfectly break through to the Gold Core stage. If this matter were to spread out, it would be a powerful opportunity that everyone in the world would covet!
Although Lin Yi wouldn't be able to use it for the time being, there would be a day in the future when the strongest Gold Core Stage expert would step into the ranks of the top experts on Heaven-Stage Island. Just thinking about this kind of thing was enough to make one's blood boil!
What Lin Yi didn't know was that after the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. Not far from the center of the dust explosion, under a thick layer of yellow soil, a half-dead, heavily wounded fellow crawled out with great difficulty. It was Yu Zhe.
Although from beginning to end, Lin Yi had used psychological warfare to toy with his opponent, there was one thing that he had made a mistake. He had underestimated the power of his Wildfire Eight Trigrams Palm twenty-two forms.
Although the twenty-two forms couldn't directly kill a middle stage Foundation Establishment expert, with the perfect opportunity just now, he had used almost all of his power. That palm had almost used one hundred percent of its power. Even if Yu Zhe didn't die after being hit by that palm, he would be seriously injured.
And then he had used the powder to release the dust explosion, causing him to be injured on top of his own injuries. It was impossible for him to escape very far in such a short period of time.
Although Yu Zhe knew that as long as he ran to a place with people, Lin Yi wouldn't dare to chase after him no matter how bold he was, the problem was … He had followed Lin Yi for so long and purposely went to such a remote corner to launch a sneak attack.
If he wanted to return to the main road with more people, he would have to escape at least two miles away. With his injuries, it was impossible for him to hide from Lin Yi's senses and run that far away, so he could only seek survival in this dangerous situation. He stayed where he was and used the opportunity of the dust explosion to bury himself deep in the soil. The only chance of survival was to bet that Lin Yi wouldn't stay here for too long.
This was a truly ruthless move. Not to mention how long Lin Yi would stay, doing this would force him into a dead end.
It was impossible for a normal person to survive being buried deep in the soil. Although a middle stage Foundation Establishment expert like him wouldn't be a problem, don't forget that he was currently in a state of near death from serious injuries. If he was buried for a little longer, he would suffocate to death like a normal person.
Moreover, even if he didn't suffocate to death, he might not have the strength to struggle out of the soil. At that time, he would still die.
However, Yu Zhe didn't think that much and just did it. He was fighting for survival in the face of death. In the end, he was caught by this last chance of survival!
Of course, this chance of survival was also due to luck. If someone hadn't passed by at that time, Lin Yi would definitely have stayed and searched carefully instead of letting him go so easily.
It could only be said that heaven never bars one's way. Although Yu Zhe's idea of attacking Lin Yi was a mistake from beginning to end, his luck in the end wasn't bad. Even if he knocked into an iron plate and had his teeth broken, he was still able to keep his life.
"Huff — — Huff — —"
Finally seeing the light of day again, Yu Zhe greedily gasped for air. Although the injuries on his body were so severe that he could die at any moment, with the life force of a middle stage Foundation Establishment expert, if there was no external interference, as long as he didn't want to die, he still had a chance to survive.
Heh, luckily I had a trump card. Otherwise, I really would have been caught off guard and killed by you today!
Swaying, Yu Zhe forcefully propped himself up from the ground. However, he didn't leave. Instead, he looked around based on the route that Lin Yi had taken before. He weakly muttered to himself in confusion: "In this direction, there's only the Welcoming Pavilion. Normal grassroots loose cultivators wouldn't go this way. Could it be that this guy is actually a newcomer to the Welcoming Pavilion? That's not very possible. Since when did the Welcoming Pavilion have a newcomer at the peak of the early stage Foundation Establishment? Or is this guy the manager of the Welcoming Pavilion? "
