Chapter 1245 The Polite Villain

That's right, the rewards for single-handedly depleting the health of the Four Corpse Kings are quite substantial.

Lin Yi exclusively enjoys the resources provided by the world's largest raid instance. The total amount of these resources is unimaginable; even Lin Yi himself believes he has never seen so many resources in his life.

But if the battle with Hou ends just like that, then the reward for killing the four Corpse Kings will be wasted? That was the most crucial reward, and Lin Yi didn't want to give it up so easily.

The saying "You can't hit a smiling dog" probably can't be followed today.

Just as Lin Yi was about to speak and state his position, Hou suddenly changed the subject.

"You deserve a lot of credit for my ability to return to the world, and I should thank you properly. However, not everything is perfect. Those four guys with independent consciousness said that they can completely erase their own consciousness, eliminating the possibility of me being sealed away."

"In order to achieve this, I have no choice but to do as they say and eliminate you, you brat."

Hou's tone carried a hint of guilt. As he said before, in the Three Realms and Six Paths, above his own interests, in order to avoid having the seal broken again, to continue to do evil in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and to remain invincible forever, Hou had no choice but to wrong Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was not too surprised to hear this.

This battle was inevitable.

Without the Fuxi Talisman, his chances of winning the battle against the Hou would be virtually zero.

But now, with the assistance of the Fuxi Talisman, the chances of winning have increased considerably.

Upon hearing Hou's words, Lin Yi subconsciously distanced himself from it.

Given the Hou's enormous size, even from several kilometers away, Lin Yi could clearly see its every tiny movement. Being cautious and leaving himself some room for error was the best way to deal with it.

"Alright, if you want to fight, then let's fight. People die for wealth and birds die for food. We can't let you give up the chance to become invincible for such a trivial matter of morality, right?"

Lin Yi's answer surprised Hou.

Thinking about it carefully, it must be that Lin Yi didn't realize his own strength, which is why he said such magnanimous words.

However, Hou would feel a little regretful.

The Four Corpse Kings inherited the Hou's super strong defense and the powerful attributes of their natal artifacts. Their powerful defenses, such as the invincible shield, are similar to the Hou's black mist.

To be able to force the Four Corpse Kings to the point of fusion, one can only say that Lin Yi is truly strong.

The most noteworthy thing is Lin Yi's age.

Thirty! Hou could clearly sense Lin Yi's age from his bone age.

At such a young age, he possesses such incredible strength. If such a young person can grow up, wouldn't he have a limitless future?

That's right, this young man in front of me doesn't understand his own worth.

I wonder what it really means to be an ancient god who once dominated the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Just as Hou was about to tell Lin Yi not to be too confident, the middle-aged man next to Lin Yi began to change.

A faint golden light emanated from his body.

Finally, he was engulfed in golden light and began to disintegrate.

What is this man doing? Could it be that this middle-aged man, like the Four Corpse Kings, can dissolve his body and reconstruct it to become an even more powerful being?

No! Something's not right! When the Hou (a mythical beast) is sensing information about middle-aged men, it can't sense information about their bone age.

This means that the middle-aged man in front of them is not a living being.

It was something else, a manifestation of something else. Under the somewhat surprised gaze of the Hou, the middle-aged man's body reassembled and converged, finally transforming into something that left a very deep impression on the Hou.

Those ancient inscriptions, that sacred aura, that immense sense of oppression, and that incomparably familiar divine power—wasn't that the very culprit that, ten thousand years ago, acted upon me along with Nuwa's spirit, splitting my body and soul and sealing them separately—the Fuxi Talisman?

Damn it! This kid actually obtained the Fuxi Talisman, the natal artifact of that ancient god!

No wonder the Four Corpse Kings were defeated so easily; it turns out this kid possessed a divine artifact that could restrain him.

This explains why Hou did not consider Lin Yi as his opponent the moment they met.

Throughout the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, Hou only remembered the scents of two people: these two ancient gods of the same level who had sealed him away.

No matter how time passes, Hou will never forget the presence of these two.

The shock I felt was real, and so was the panic.

However, Hou was somewhat happy to see that Lin Yi had obtained the right to use the Fuxi Talisman.

The Fuxi Talisman has fallen into someone else's hands. This person's aura, including his soul, has no connection with Fuxi. Doesn't this mean that Fuxi Talisman has also perished?

What can an ancient god do? Even if he joins forces with another ancient god of the same level to seal himself away, what then? In the end, he still ends up perishing.

In comparison, my own ending seems much better.

At least he, Hou, is still alive now; at least he has seen the light of day again.

He was confident that even after ten thousand years, he, Hou, would still be invincible in the world. He could still roam freely in the Three Realms and Six Paths, doing whatever he wanted, thanks to the powerful defensive capabilities of his natal artifact.

"Hehe, kid, not bad. No wonder you were able to force those four guys to make the decision to sacrifice themselves. So you have the Fuxi Talisman. Not bad, not bad. Kid, I underestimated you."

"With your divine power level and that external artifact, you are indeed qualified to fight me. However, don't be too happy yet. Your strength is not on the same level as that guy's."

"Ten thousand years ago, that guy used all his strength to barely seal me away. Now that you have the Fuxi Talisman, it doesn't seem to be of much use."

Surprisingly, the Hou (a mythical beast) is actually quite a decent creature.

Despite their differing stances, it first acknowledged Lin Yi's help to it.

Even if they were to take action, they would clearly sense that Lin Yi was no match for them, and they even expressed their intention to persuade him to surrender, and pointed out a clear path for Lin Yi's future.

If this guy hadn't indiscriminately killed innocent people, he definitely wouldn't have been accepted as a world boss by the Three Realms and Six Paths.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Hou.

Even their location was closer to the Hou.

Analyzing and fully understanding a person's personality certainly takes a considerable amount of time.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable.

But Hou is different.

First of all, his IQ wasn't that high, which meant he wouldn't have so many ulterior motives, nor would he think of using despicable means to defeat Lin Yi.

Secondly, this guy is genuinely polite and principled. After a brief conversation, Lin Yi was certain that this guy would never do something like a sneak attack.

If war were to break out, he would not only refrain from making the first move, but might even endure a round of attacks before declaring the battle underway.
