Chapter 792 The Color of Greed
"Hmm?" The man in black's eyes lit up with greed when he saw Lin Yi's actions.
"Kid, hand over the Purple Lightning Bamboo and come with me. I'll let you die swiftly!"
"Haha, keep dreaming!" Lin Yi laughed heartily, his laughter thunderous and ear-piercing, causing everyone's eardrums to ache.
The man in black's face darkened, and his eyes shot fire as he glared at Lin Yi. "Do you really think you can dodge my attack?"
As he spoke, the man in black's palm suddenly swung, unleashing a burst of blood-red Qi Force. The Qi Force, like a blood-colored Flood Dragon, bore its fangs and claws as it pounced toward Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's face changed dramatically as he hurriedly dodged, but he was half a beat too slow, and the Qi Force from his palm struck him square in the chest.
"Pfft!"
Lin Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell backwards, crashing heavily onto the ground with blood spilling from his mouth and nose, his complexion ashen.
The man in black's eyes filled with excitement at the sight.
"Kid, you're as good as dead, you must die!" The man in black's eyes shimmered with a fierce smile as he stepped forward and pounced towards Lin Yi.
"Hmph, nonsensical!" Lin Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing with intense murderous intent as he shook his arm, suddenly revealing an Elixir in his hand which he promptly stuffed into his mouth and swallowed.
This Elixir was a holy product for healing injuries, one that Lin Yi had bought in a small town previously and had been reluctant to use until now when it became unexpectedly useful.
"Bang!"
A burst of golden light exploded from Lin Yi's body, and a giant golden phoenix phantom appeared behind him. A terrifying pressure spread, enveloping the man in black within it.
"What... what's going on?" The man in black froze, his eyes bulging, staring at Lin Yi in disbelief.
A surge of immense power rose from Lin Yi, suppressing the man in black in his spot, preventing him from struggling free no matter how hard he tried.
"You're no match for me. If you know what's good for you, let me go, and I might consider sparing your life!" Lin Yi stood his ground, looking down from above at the man in black with a calm tone.
"Brat, how arrogant! Do you not know who you are facing? Do you not understand that what you're doing is suicidal?!" The man in black's face was ashen, his eyes dark and grim, as he glared hatefully at Lin Yi.
"Heh!"
Lin Yi let out a cold laugh, his tone icy as he taunted, "Weren't you bragging about how tough you are? Why don't you try it?"
"Scum!"
The man in black was so furious that smoke seemed to rise from his orifices, his face flushed and his muscles twitching as if he was on the verge of exploding.
"I'll give you one last chance!" Lin Yi said indifferently.
"Dream on!"
With a cold shout, the man in black's eyes flickered with intense madness as his body was cloaked in black armor, covering him entirely except for his head.
"Hmph, kid, do you really think you're all that? In my eyes, you're nothing but an ant, and I could crush you with the greatest of ease!" The man in black snorted coldly, his demeanor disdainful.
"Is that so? Well, I'm eager to see that!" Lin Yi spoke calmly, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he suddenly charged forward with lightning speed.
Lin Yi's speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, he reached the man in black and extended his right palm, slamming it viciously towards him.
Seeing Lin Yi's ferocious attack, the man in black's eyes flashed with disdain. "Foolish!"
The man in black raised his left palm to block Lin Yi's fist while his own left fist punched towards Lin Yi's abdomen, aiming to puncture it.
"Crack!"
Lin Yi's left shoulder bone shattered instantly, piercing pain spreading throughout his body from the shoulder.
"Hiss!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but inhale sharply, his face turning pale, the expression ugly.
"Not bad!"
Seeing Lin Yi injured, the man in black revealed a trace of joy on his face, squinting his eyes, he snorted coldly, "Kneel down and kowtow three times, kid, and maybe I'll spare your life!"
"Pah!" Lin Yi spat disdainfully, "This lady doesn't need your charity!"
"Unrepentant. I'll send you on your way then!" Enraged by Lin Yi's defiance, the man in black's body suddenly jerked, accelerating like a cannonball toward Lin Yi, his palm erupting with a burst of blood-red Qi Force.
"Boom!"
Space trembled, the void shattered, and the man in black's speed was extremely fast, reaching Lin Yi's side in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, fool who seeks death!"
The man in black sneered coldly, clenching his right palm again and launching a mass of blood-red Qi Force toward Lin Yi.
Seeing this, a serious look flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, he soared into the air, narrowly dodging the deadly strike.
However, at that moment, the man in black's figure vanished into thin air.
A solemn color flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, he hadn't expected the man in black to be capable of teleportation.
The next instant, he suddenly heard the sound of wind breaking from behind, he hastily turned his head and saw the man in black's left fist coming at him with a force that seemed to destroy everything.
"Not good!"
Lin Yi quickly ducked to the side, but the fist still struck him.
"Ptui!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spilled from Lin Yi's mouth, his chest caved in, several ribs broken, his chest collapsed, and he was blasted into the ground like a cannonball, the earth trembling non-stop, dust flying, smoke rising.
"Hmph, even if you dodged one attack, you can't escape. I'll tear you apart now and refine your bloodline energy into mine!" The man in black stepped out of the dirt, grabbed Lin Yi, and pulled him out, sneering coldly, "Just surrender obediently, kid! You can't escape!"
Lin Yi's face turned pale, his heart contracted, his breathing became labored, and his complexion faded to an ashen color.
"Haha, weren't you so tough, kid? Aren't you unafraid of me? Then I'll just kill you, your blood should suit me just fine!" Laughing wildly, the man in black picked up Lin Yi and sprinted off toward the distance, seeking to leave the city.
"Damn! Isn't my blood useful to you?!"
Lin Yi raged inwardly, his heart pounding rapidly, his face deathly pale.
The man in black sneered, "Of course, this is a special kind of blood, only my own can unleash its power. You wouldn't understand, your blood is like a cup of poison, only by drinking this cup of poison will your blood become mine, haha, I'll make your blood the most delicious food!"
"No, I can't let him get away!"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his legs gave way, causing him to kneel on the ground.
"What's the matter? Now you're afraid? Weren't you all high and mighty? I want to see how long you can hold out!"
Seeing Lin Yi's action, a hint of disdain flashed in the man in black's eyes, but he quickly concealed it deep within. Clearly, he still harbored some wariness toward Lin Yi.
