One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 979 An Olive Branch from Luo Bingxin

After enjoying thousands of years of cultivation resources, in terms of divine power or the strength of techniques, the Seven Heroes are definitely superior to the Four Corpse Kings.

Logically speaking, the Seven Heroes should have easily gained the upper hand when fighting on their own territory with a force far superior to their enemy.

The truth is that the power they were so proud of, the various moves they usually regarded as their signature techniques, had almost no effect on the four Corpse Kings.

Let alone Jiang Chen, who is known for his physical strength, even the other four Corpse Kings would not be able to deal with him so easily.

Attacks that consume a lot of divine power often fail to kill; the best-case scenario is to knock the four Corpse Kings away.

Such attacks posed absolutely no threat to the four Corpse Kings. After being knocked away, they would simply dust themselves off and get back up to continue fighting.

The battle between the Four Corpse Kings and the Seven Heroes was so loud that it could be clearly heard by Lin Yi and the others.

"Brother Lin Yi, I didn't expect that we would still need your help at this point. I'm really sorry. If you hadn't appeared in time to save us, I'm afraid we would have already failed the trust of the big shots and died at the hands of Lao Xuan and Luo Bingxin. To be honest, I'm really ashamed."

Of course I should feel ashamed.

"Old Xuan and Luo Bingxin usually receive almost the same amount of resources as you. Under such circumstances, your strength was still completely overwhelmed by these two. No matter how difficult or arduous the battle was described, no matter how eloquently you portray it, it cannot hide the fact that they were utterly crushed."

The person who spoke was the one who had controlled the formation earlier.

His name is Wang Chuan.

In terms of skill, Wang Chuan is indeed not considered strong.

But given that he never intended to betray Lin Yi at the crucial moment, earning Lin Yi's respect in return wouldn't be difficult.

Remembering how often he had impeached Lin Yi's position and how many times he had spoken ill of Lin Yi in private, Wang Chuan's expression became even more twisted.

Meeting that gaze full of guilt, Lin Yi smiled slightly.

He seemed to have seen through Wang Chuan's thoughts, but Lin Yi simply waved his hand dismissively, indicating that Wang Chuan didn't need to take it to heart.

Lin Yi was well aware of the ugliness of human nature.

There are countless people in the entire Anxing who say they are not, so why should I bother with so many?

“Brother Wang Chuan, you don’t need to blame yourself. Luo Bingxin and Lao Xuan concealed their strength so well that even the information system of Anxing headquarters failed to detect them. It’s not surprising that you failed because you underestimated them.”

Lin Yi's words revealed composure and confidence. With just these simple words, Lin Yi instantly established a towering image in the eyes of these guys.

"Brother Lin Yi, I still want to thank you for saving my life. However, let's deal with the immediate trouble first."

Putting aside everything else, Lin Yi clearly witnessed the battle between An Xing and his group of experts and Lao Xuan.

Lin Yi couldn't tell what realm Lao Xuan was at yet.

However, his natal artifact is definitely not to be underestimated; it might even be able to fight independently and share the burden for its master, just like the Divine River Song in his own hand.

Lin Yi nodded, affirming Wang Chuan's statement and strengthening his resolve to kill Luo Bingxin.

The girl in front of me is also a dragon.

Lin Yi, who possessed the power of the dragon race, could clearly sense that Luo Bingxin's bloodline power was even stronger than that of Xiao Ao Shu, who possessed the power of the divine dragon bloodline.

Such an enemy is not only a huge threat to himself, but also a great threat to Xiao Aoshu.

Moreover, these two guys have a very clear objective.

They are willing to expose their hidden strength and ambitions, which have been concealed for thousands of years, just to find their own coordinates.

It would be impossible for Lin Yi not to be curious about the two men's motives.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi raised his head and looked at Luo Bingxin from afar through the protective barrier of the Demon-Slaying Golden Immortal Formation.

Old Xuan was indeed stronger than Luo Bingxin, but his respectful attitude suggested a close relationship between them; Old Xuan was likely a former retainer of Luo Bingxin's family. Therefore, Lin Yi didn't look at Old Xuan, but instead focused his gaze entirely on Luo Bingxin, meeting her eyes in her icy blue pupils.

"Miss Luo Bingxin, I wonder if there is any grudge between us?"

"Since Lin Yi began his journey through the Three Realms and Six Paths, he has indeed offended many people and has also had to kill many targets under duress. I wonder if any of the targets I killed were closely related to you? If so, please let me know."

Luo Bingxin raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a faint smile.

She had absolute confidence in the strength of the four Corpse Kings.

I have absolutely no idea that the Four Corpse Kings would be defeated by the Seven Heroes.

As for the Dark Star experts who had regained their fighting strength, she didn't consider them a threat at all.

If Lao Xuan could easily injure them once, then there would definitely be a second time.

Although she had no obligation to answer Lin Yi's questions, for some reason, influenced by some kind of magic, Luo Bingxin patiently answered Lin Yi's questions.

"As for grudges, it's not really a matter of personal animosity."

No grudges?! Then it's purely for profit.

What do I possess that would make a young lady of Luo Bingxin's caliber covet me? The answer is obvious.

"Miss Naluo came for the Ode to the Divine River?"

Rumor has it that Lin Yi is very intelligent.

Previously, Luo Bingxin did not think he was particularly smart.

The fact that he could guess my purpose after just a brief conversation shows that Lin Yi is indeed not simple, at least he lives up to his reputation as a smart person.

clap clap ~
Luo Bingxin couldn't help but applaud.

"Lin Yi, you have such wisdom at such a young age. I have indeed underestimated you. How about I make a suggestion for you to consider? I will not take what is yours from you, and the Divine River Ode will still belong to you. What do you say?"

A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he allow others to dictate his future?

Lin Yi didn't intend to compromise with Luo Bingxin, but he still had those four words: strong curiosity.

He was very interested in what kind of solution Luo Bingxin would come up with.

I would like to hear the details.

After Lin Yi uttered those four words calmly, Luo Bingxin revealed a relieved smile.

But the group of experts from Anxing were immediately dumbfounded.

Brother, are you kidding me?

So many people risked their lives to protect you and prevent your location from being revealed, and yet you turn around and want to discuss things and talk business with them.

How can anyone keep their composure like that?
"As expected, you are as intelligent as the rumors say."

Lin Yi possesses remarkable strength and extremely high intelligence.

If he were her partner to advise her, Luo Bingxin felt that overthrowing the Immortal King's rule would be just around the corner.

It would be best if Lin Yi could cooperate with me.

"Your Ode to the Divine River, still your Ode to the Divine River. I need your weapon to help me cultivate and improve my strength. If you can help me do this, we will be the most reliable partners from now on."
