After a little consideration, Lin Yi quickly made a decision. He would first try to entangle with Cheng Haonan. Anyway, there was a continuous supply of Genuine Qi in the space of the jade pendant. In terms of endurance alone, if Lin Yi claimed to be the second in the world, no one would dare to claim to be the first in the world. Even if he faced Cheng Haonan, he had enough advantages.
Moreover, Lin Yi's self-control had always been extremely strong. If he really wanted to do it flawlessly, it was not impossible.
On the other hand, the second strategy was obviously risking his life. Lin Yi had never been a gambler. Unless it was a last resort, he would never gamble his life with others.
With a plan in mind, Lin Yi's next move was naturally very clear. While using Butterfly Subtle Steps to maintain his body movement, he used various martial arts techniques to deal with the opponent. Frenzy Eight Trigram Palm, Frenzy Fist, Frenzy Thousand Kicks, etc., all kinds of martial arts techniques were used one after another. There was basically no pause.
If it was someone else doing this, they would be the first to exhaust their Genuine Qi before they could kill the opponent. After all, no matter how majestic the Genuine Qi foundation was, there was always a limit. However, Lin Yi obviously did not have this concern.
In contrast, Cheng Haonan was far less extravagant than Lin Yi. He had never used any particularly powerful martial arts techniques. He was purely using ordinary punches and kicks to deal with it. However, although it was said to be ordinary punches and kicks, the power was actually not trivial. Even compared with these martial arts techniques of Lin Yi, he was not at a disadvantage at all.
The more Lin Yi fought, the more shocked he became. He'd never been in a situation like this before. His opponent was only using normal punches and kicks, yet he was able to fight him head-on when he was at full power. He even had the upper hand!
If he did not experience it personally, this kind of thing was almost unimaginable. However, after a few stalemates, Lin Yi also more or less touched a little of the essence of the opponent's punches and kicks. The key was that this was not purely ordinary punches and kicks, but some Genuine Qi was poured into it.
Of course, the amount of True Qi Cheng Haonan infused into each of his punches and kicks was not much. Otherwise, the gains would not make up for the losses. In that case, he might as well just use martial arts techniques. After all, martial arts techniques existed to maximize the power of True Qi, and the amount of True Qi Cheng Haonan infused into his punches and kicks was far from the limit of martial arts techniques.
However, although the amount of True Qi the opponent exerted on his fists and legs was small, it was all used on the blade. Just that tiny bit of true energy had actually caused the might of his fists and legs to obtain a qualitative increase, and it was even to the extent that it wasn't the slightest bit inferior to most ordinary martial techniques. Such ability was simply miraculous!
This Cheng Haonan was indeed worthy of being the boss of the Poison Eye Mercenary Group. To be able to become a formidable character, he was indeed not simple!
Although Wu Bao Liang's Violent Sand Thousand Bursting Fist was powerful, Lin Yi was only afraid of the move itself. He didn't care much about Wu Bao Liang himself. However, now that he was facing Cheng Haonan, even if the other party was an enemy that he had to kill, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart. This person brought him pressure. It was far above Wu Bao Liang's.
Because Cheng Haonan's momentum wasn't as astonishing as Wu Bao Liang's, the audience couldn't feel the strength of Cheng Haonan as clearly as Lin Yi. Watching the fast-paced exchange of various moves on the stage, they felt that the two sides were evenly matched. Instead, they felt that the two sides were evenly matched, and they were fighting to their heart's content.
Even Qi Wenhan felt this way, and he couldn't control his emotions as he watched. However, Steward Song, who was standing beside him, subtly shook his head. If this continued, young hero Ling might not be able to survive …
It wasn't just him. In the distance, Black Eagle Escort Agency's Zhao Shanying, Qi Mingyuan, Boundless Sea, and the others on the judging panel were all people with keen eyesight. At this moment, in the seemingly evenly matched stalemate, it was clear who was superior. Although it wasn't very obvious, there was no doubt that Lin Yi was being suppressed by Cheng Haonan!
On Qi Mingyuan's side, a worried expression appeared on Boundless Sea's face. As long as Cheng Haonan could successfully take care of Lin Yi, then the plan would go back on track. Everything would still be under control, and his Four Seas Escort Agency would still have the chance to laugh to the end.
Lin Yi's disadvantage wasn't obvious at the start, but as the pace of attack and defense became faster and faster, an opening immediately appeared.
Although Lin Yi had the powerful backing of the jade pendant's space and wasn't afraid of any qi consumption, the problem was that even the most convenient martial arts technique needed to store qi during the process of using it. It was just a difference in the amount of time needed to store qi.
Using all kinds of powerful martial arts repeatedly allowed Lin Yi to maintain a huge pressure on Cheng Haonan, but at the same time, he unknowingly exposed an unavoidable opening: rhythm.
Every martial art technique needed to store qi, which meant that Lin Yi couldn't increase the pace of attack and defense too quickly, because there was bound to be a period of rest in between. No matter how short the time Lin Yi compressed, in the end, it was still unavoidable. In comparison, Cheng Haonan, who only used normal punches and kicks, didn't have this worry at all.
Cheng Haonan clearly grasped this opening, so he thought of ways to increase the pace. Once the pace exceeded Lin Yi's upper limit, then the fight would completely fall into his control.
The current situation was clearly tilting in this direction. More and more people gradually began to realize that Cheng Haonan had the advantage all this time, and his advantage was rapidly expanding!
Bang! Once again, the Wildfire Eight Trigrams Palm, which he was so proud of, was blocked by the opponent's normal punches and kicks. Seeing Cheng Haonan's unharmed appearance, Lin Yi's heart couldn't help but sink.
This was the thirty forms of the Wildfire Eight Trigrams Palm, and its power was not to be underestimated. Even Cheng Haonan didn't dare to take it head-on just a moment ago, but now he could deal with it so easily. This was the difference in pace.
Now this pace had far exceeded Lin Yi's upper limit. Without time to store strength, it caused a powerful martial art like the Wildfire Eight Trigrams Palm to lose its original power. This was a very dangerous signal.
At the beginning of the duel, Cheng Haonan's aura was still very restrained, like a fierce beast withdrawing its claws. But now, Lin Yi clearly felt that the opponent's pressure was getting stronger and stronger. That extremely dangerous aura was also becoming more and more obvious, like the fierce beast was about to bare its claws.
No, he had to quickly get rid of this rhythm, or he would lose without a doubt.
Lin Yi wasn't an idiot. There was no way he'd stick to his original strategy in a situation like this. It was a dead end, and so the situation forced him to make a change. He'd bet his life on it, and he'd give it his all!
