Beauty and the Bodyguard Chapter 11504 - 11502: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

Advancing from the early stage of the Sky class to the peak of that same realm is a journey that would demand a millennium of grueling cultivation for most practitioners.

That estimate assumes a path free of bottlenecks or disasters.

In contrast, the Mr. Gu standing before him had achieved this breakthrough as effortlessly as eating or drinking. It was glaringly obvious that he hadn't even reached his limit yet!

This was undeniably the power of tens of millions of providence paving a smooth road for him.

Lin Yi couldn't help but let out another soft sigh, "Luck truly is a potent tool."

Then again, this wasn't a technique that typical experts could replicate even if they possessed the knowledge. While using luck to force a breakthrough was effective, the fundamental requirement was actually possessing that staggering amount of luck to begin with.

Expending ten million providence in a single go—ready-made providence at that—was a feat few lords in the entire Inner Royal Court could manage.

However, the display was far from over.

The moment his breakthrough stabilized, Mr. Gu shifted his focus, gathering another ten million providence. The energy condensed rapidly, taking the physical form of a blade in his grip.

“The Fortune Saber?”

Lin Yi’s brow twitched slightly.

Mr. Gu let out a cold sneer. “Indeed. This is the Fortune Saber, the most peerless blade in existence. I wonder, can that sword of yours survive an encounter with it this time?”

Technically speaking, the concept of the "sharpest blade in the world" was subjective.

The world was filled with countless divine weapons. Since it was impossible to conduct a definitive test by clashing every single legendary blade against one another, any claim of being the "sharpest" was usually just empty boasting.

Nevertheless, few would dare to argue against the Fortune Saber holding that title.

Its lethality didn't stem from raw physical power. Rather, any weapon that struck it would spontaneously shatter because its own luck was being forcibly drained away by the collision.

From that perspective, calling it the sharpest was hardly an exaggeration.

“We can certainly put that to the test,” Lin Yi replied, his interest piqued.

“Fine, then have a taste of it!”

With those words, Mr. Gu unleashed his strike.

As the blade left its sheath, Lin Yi was met with a vision of millions of saber shadows!

His opponent hadn't just executed a single slash; it was as if ten million attacks were launched simultaneously!

No matter how skilled a master might be, regardless of their mastery of the Dao of the Saber or their sheer physical speed, reaching such an exaggerated level was normally impossible.

This was the divine blessing granted by the Fortune Saber.

Mr. Gu broke into a triumphant laugh. “Such luck! It feels as though the heavens themselves are assisting my every move. Marvelous!”

In his mind, Lin Yi was already a corpse, no longer worthy of his concern.

With the force of ten million blades, even a simple wooden stick could grind a Supreme Realm expert into a bloody pulp, let alone the legendary Fortune Saber.

Lin Yi was merely a mid-phase Earth class master; what hope did he have of resisting?

Once Lin Yi was eliminated, no one within the Han mansion would be capable of standing in his way. He would consume the Han estate and use it as a stepping stone to devour the other seven mansions!

Total dominance over the Inner Royal Court was now just a matter of time.

A sudden, thunderous dragon’s roar shattered Mr. Gu’s delusions.

Mr. Gu remained indifferent to the dragon souls swirling around Lin Yi.

While ordinary mortals viewed dragons as supreme beings, to someone of his stature, they were merely powerful beasts.

Whether it was an incorporeal dragon soul or a living true dragon of pure bloodline, it would still fall before his blade. He feared nothing.

That confidence lasted until Lin Yi swung his sword.

The millions of saber shadows produced by the Fortune Saber froze instantly.

“What is happening?”

Mr. Gu watched in stunned silence as the Fortune Saber in his hand began to crack and disintegrate.

This weapon was forged from millions of providence. Theoretically, no weapon should be able to withstand it. How could it possibly fall apart like this?

Was it the sword itself? Or was it some hidden power within that dragon soul?

Mr. Gu was baffled. He failed to realize that he had just encountered the first layer of Lin Yi’s Dragon Soul profound technique.

It was known as Resonance.

As the term implied, the technique allowed Lin Yi to match his frequency with the opponent's to create a resonant vibration.

Against a standard physical weapon, resonance could be destructive, but it rarely worked this instantaneously.

However, the Fortune Saber was a construct of condensed fate. Its very existence relied on the high-frequency entanglement of providence. By using resonance, Lin Yi had struck the weapon's fundamental weakness.

A traditional weapon might have endured the vibration for a few moments before breaking.

But once the resonance point of the Fortune Saber was identified, it would collapse immediately, exactly as it was doing now.

Lacking the necessary insight, Mr. Gu couldn't comprehend the mechanics of the failure. This ignorance only made Lin Yi’s counterattack more terrifying.

Fear usually stems from the unknown.

But with no time to devise a new strategy, he grew desperate. He hurriedly poured out another ten million providence to manifest a replacement blade.

He clung to the hope that Lin Yi’s success had been a fluke.

Perhaps Lin Yi had exhausted his entire strength just to break that first Lucky Blade.

Unfortunately, reality dealt him a brutal blow.

Following another dragon’s roar, the second Fortune Saber shattered just as easily as the first.

This time, Mr. Gu’s spirit sank into the abyss.

His logic screamed at him to flee. The Han Imperial Residence was no longer a viable target.

Yet, his greed held him back.

He had invested so much time and planning into this scheme. He had finally grasped a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The prize was right in front of him; how could he settle for anything less than everything?

“Impossible! No one is allowed to stop me!”

Gritting his teeth, Mr. Gu gambled another twenty million providence, manifesting the Dual Fortune Sabers.

Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Regardless of his character, this man’s willingness to spend was staggering.

One had to understand that despite its power, the Fortune Saber had a catastrophic drawback compared to normal weapons.

It was a single-use item.

Once ten million providence was spent, the weapon would eventually vanish on its own once its time ran out, regardless of how it was used.

It was the height of extravagance.

If it weren't for this, the Fortune Saber would be a common sight. For a Supreme Realm expert, especially those beyond the Earth class, ten million luck was a fortune, but not an impossible sum to collect.

However, wasting that much on a temporary tool was something very few cultivators could justify.

In a span of less than three breaths, Mr. Gu had burned through four Fortune Sabers. Combined with his earlier breakthrough, he had squandered fifty million providence.

In terms of raw wealth, this was the richest individual Lin Yi had ever encountered.

“Die!”

Mr. Gu lunged with both sabers, putting every ounce of his power into the strike.

The three-breath window was closing. If he failed to kill Lin Yi now, he would have to deal with the inevitable backlash from the ancestors of the King Han mansion.

Lin Yi met the desperate assault with a simple, unassuming sword strike.

Before Mr. Gu’s despair-filled eyes, both Fortune Sabers crumbled into dust.

Then, everything went still.
