Lin Yi's first reaction was one of disbelief. The moment the Short Woman made her move, he sensed her combat power was at the Eight Star Level. Even Number 19, who possessed Seven Star-Level Combat Power, failed to react in time.
In an instant, Lin Yi's eyes seemed to fill with blood, turning a deep scarlet. How long had Number 19 been a close companion? And now, he could only watch helplessly as someone dear to him suddenly fell before his eyes.
"Whoosh—" Lin Yi's figure flickered as he quickly moved to catch Number 19, who was about to collapse.
At that moment, Number 19's face still bore the expression of terror from seeing the Laser Beam. Her dark eyes stared blankly into space, filled with unwillingness. But now, those once vibrant eyes had completely lost their spark.
With trembling hands, Lin Yi covered Number 19's eyes and then turned around, his voice hoarse as he glared at the Short Woman. "You killed my brother; you must die!"
The Short Woman was taken aback by the sudden surge of killing intent radiating from Lin Yi. At that moment, she felt she was not facing a person but a colossal beast that had existed since ancient times—a beast devoid of any human emotion.
She couldn't help but shiver, and those around her ceased their shouting, slowly retreating step by step in an attempt to escape from this demon before them.
However, the woman was horrified to find she couldn't move. She felt an invisible force pinning her down, preventing even a single finger from moving.
"David, take Number 19 to the port. I'll be there shortly!"
Lin Yi's killing intent grew stronger. He had never wanted to kill anyone so desperately before. But now, he had to eliminate this group of people with ulterior motives before him.
David looked at Lin Yi's expression and finally shook his head. With a stomp of his foot, he picked up Number 19 and rushed toward the port with all his might.
In the next moment, Lin Yi retracted his aura and shot forward like a blade towards the Short Woman!
In just a short distance of ten meters, Lin Yi unleashed his most powerful combat strength! The culprit must be dealt with in the bloodiest way possible!
Lin Yi's lips curled into a wicked smile as he envisioned the woman's brain splattering before him.
A sharp sound echoed through the air as Lin Yi transformed his palm into a blade, subtly channeling Blade Qi through his hand. Once unleashed, even a Zombie with Nine-Star Combat Power would struggle to withstand his overwhelming force.
At that moment, Lin Yi suddenly sensed a shadow flash by. With a loud crack, pain shot through his palm as if he had slammed it against a meteorite. The immense force surged, making Lin Yi feel as though his entire arm might be rendered useless.
"Is it you?" Lin Yi exclaimed in shock upon recognizing the newcomer. The Tall Man before him was the very one who had thrown him into the underground prison last time—a master with Ten-Star Combat Power!
"If you dare to kill this girl, I won't hold back!" The Tall Man raised an eyebrow, unleashing the unique aura of his Ten-Star Level combat prowess.
Lin Yi remained unfazed, but ordinary people felt as if they had suddenly been thrown into a vast ocean.
This was also the Tall Man's misfortune. Aware of Lin Yi's formidable strength, he immediately entered his strongest combat state without considering the tolerance of ordinary individuals.
"Hmph, she must die today!" Lin Yi declared. His figure blurred, and he reappeared behind the Short Woman.
In the next moment, Lin Yi transformed his palm into a blade once more and slashed diagonally at the woman, intent on severing her head.
"You dare!" The Tall Man roared in fury. Without any visible movement, the Short Woman's figure flickered and vanished from sight.
When she reappeared, she was already hiding behind the Ten-Star Combat Power master!
"As long as I'm here, you won't succeed!" The Super Expert with Ten-Star Combat Power clearly intended to protect the Short Woman. The situation shifted rapidly, and Lin Yi felt an increased pressure.
"Why are you protecting her when she has killed someone?"
Lin Yi had begun to adjust his state of mind. He knew that the person in front of him was a true master of Ten-Star Combat Power. Although he could easily slay a Nine-Star Master, he felt utterly helpless against someone at the Ten-Star Level.
"The killer will be dealt with by someone else; it is not your place to enforce the law!"
The Tall Man's face showed no emotion, as if he were merely carrying out a mundane task. However, Lin Yi was seething with anger inside, desperately trying to suppress it, but Scarlet's eyes constantly betrayed his fury.
"Very well, I hope you can handle this fairly!"
With that, Lin Yi turned to leave. At that moment, it was the Tall Man who looked confused. His mission was to find a reasonable excuse to eliminate this National Hero before him, yet the other party seemed to be holding back.
"Wait! You can't leave! The investigation into your identity is not over; you cannot simply walk away!" In his panic, the Tall Man brought up the reason for Lin Yi's previous detention.
"I, Lin Yi, am not a traitor and owe you no explanations!"
Lin Yi turned around, fixing his gaze on the Tall Man. His aura surged dramatically, but just as he was about to break through to Nine-Star Level, it abruptly halted as if a transparent yet resilient membrane were firmly blocking him.
"What’s wrong? Do you think an Eight-Star Combat Power can challenge me?"
The Tall Man gestured for everyone to step back. While he was confident in his ability to kill Lin Yi, he did not want the aftermath of their battle to affect those with lower combat power.
Lin Yi glanced at the distance and suddenly shouted, "Then I will fight! What are you going to do about it?"
In the next moment, Lin Yi's figure blurred as he leaped forward like a spear aimed directly at the Tall Man.
The ten-meter distance closed in an instant. Just as Lin Yi erupted into motion, the Tall Man suddenly swayed.
The Tall Man's hands blurred for a moment, and then a brilliant golden blade suddenly appeared in his grasp. Without hesitation, he swung it down!
"Swish—"
A piercing sound erupted, the noise of the light blade colliding sharply with the air, igniting a burning resonance.
At that moment, the Tall Man's eyelids flickered. Under the lock of his Psychic Power, Lin Yi had vanished, replaced by an illusory shadow!
In the next instant, a chilling scream pierced the air from behind him. The Tall Man halted, spinning around as his Light Blade lost control. In an instant, energy exploded forth, reducing the surrounding trees and rocks to dust.
Yet it seemed as if the Tall Man did not notice; he flashed to the source of the scream. Upon arrival, his fury erupted.
The Short Woman was dead, her body devoid of any wounds, her eyes bulging as if she had witnessed something utterly horrifying.
At this moment, the Tall Man turned to the others who were paralyzed with fear on the ground and demanded, "What just happened?"
"I-I don't know! She just screamed and then died!" stammered the man with glasses, retreating in terror.
The sight of this ten-Star Level expert in rage was even more terrifying than Lin Yi had been moments ago.
Suddenly, the Tall Man's Psychic Power surged forth, enveloping the entire area. But he quickly realized with shock that Lin Yi had completely disappeared!
"Plan B: Target has escaped!"
The Tall Man understood that if Lin Yi got away this time, the consequences would be beyond his capacity to bear! In the next moment, he blurred again and appeared in mid-air.
Suddenly, the Psychic Power radiated outwards in an instant; he had to find Lin Yi first!
At that moment, Lin Yi had only one thought in his mind: to escape, as far away as possible. He had no idea what was happening, but he had somehow become a Zombie.
In that fleeting moment, he was truly enraged. He couldn't bear the thought of that woman who killed Number 19 living peacefully; it would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Lin Yi was not reckless, though. Just as he attempted to take down the Tall Man with him, a sudden idea popped into his head. He enveloped himself in Psychic Power, and at that moment, Lin Yi felt as if he had entered a different realm.
His speed surged dramatically, allowing him to perform a sleight of hand right in front of a Ten Star Level expert! Just as he was about to approach the Tall Man, his figure blurred and he swiftly circled around him.
The Tall Man did not notice that the real Lin Yi had already dashed past him. By the time he realized it, Lin Yi was already standing before the woman.
This woman possessed an Eight Star Level combat power, and Lin Yi knew he couldn't kill her in such a short time! At that moment, the Tall Man had already turned around. Lin Yi had to choose between fleeing or killing the woman and then being slain by the Tall Man!
Just then, a surge of Psychic Power flowed through Lin Yi's mind. In the next instant, almost instinctively, he transformed his Psychic Power into an invisible blade and thrust it directly into the woman's mind.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yi shot out in an instant! Wrapped in Psychic Power, his speed more than doubled in that brief moment. A distance of one kilometer felt like just a breath away! Unfortunately, just as his Psychic Power was about to break through, Lin Yi's desperate need to escape caused him to miss the best opportunity.
