I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 1065: Successful Escape
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
The explosion sounds settled down, and the orange-red Crimson Flame gradually dissipated, causing the entire planet’s temperature to cool rapidly.
The metal, which had turned liquid under the high temperature, solidified once more.
Everyone’s vision gradually returned to normal.
At this moment, Mr. Gongsu was suspended in the air, gasping heavily for breath.
The top-level Divine Power within him had been nearly depleted, leaving him ethereal.
The giant cannon behind him, which had erupted with world-destroying light, began to disintegrate and collapse as Mr. Gongsu’s Divine Power was exhausted.
Thus, it was evident that Mr. Gongsu had already exhausted all his strength and lost his ability to fight.
In contrast, the situation for Tremble, directly hit by the world-destroying cannon, was even worse.
His left shoulder had been obliterated along with the cannon fire.
The power of Mr. Gongsu’s full-force strike was truly beyond his imagination, rendering his current disheveled appearance far from that of the strongest in the Dark Rising Organization.
He was half-bowed, with blood continually seeping from his left side.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Gongsu’s strike exceeded Tremble’s current level, but if he had a chance to defend, he wouldn’t have ended up so miserably.
Lin Yi activated Gale Wings and landed beside Mr. Gongsu.
"Old man, I couldn’t tell you were this powerful. But now, you probably don’t have the stamina to keep fighting, right? Why don’t we leave first? You know as well as I do that trying to kill someone like Tremble is almost impossible."
Gently using the Gravity Manipulation Skills to support Mr. Gongsu’s body, Lin Yi made sure that Mr. Gongsu could straighten up, and indeed, Lin Yi was considerate, not letting Mr. Gongsu lose face in front of Tremble.
Mr. Gongsu didn’t try to be strong.
What Lin Yi said was exactly what he was thinking.
Now that the goal was achieved, it was time to retreat.
Seeing Lin Yi take out a special tool imbued with space fluctuations, Tremble immediately shouted:
You damned pair, don’t go, I haven’t lost yet.
If Tremble had been in peak condition, stopping Lin Yi and Mr. Gongsu wouldn’t have been a difficult task.
But now, he couldn’t summon his Divine Power at all, so how could he stop Lin Yi and Mr. Gongsu from leaving?
As the seconds ticked by, Tremble’s Divine Power and Taichu were healing his wounded body, and the Dark Rising elite controlled by the Soul Shock also began to recover from their state of soul and body separation.
Unfortunately, now they had suffered different levels of damage to both soul and body, leaving them unable to continue pursuing.
"Boss, we’re sorry. We disappointed you."
Sixteen Dark Star practitioners with Divine Power Levels far exceeding Lin Yi faced Lin Yi, resulting in an unprecedented level of disgrace.
So much so that these individuals dared not even seek Tremble’s help.
At this moment, Tremble was overwhelmed with chaotic thoughts.
He realized his reputed strength was overrated, the plan to kill Gongshu De failed, and both he and his subordinates’ lives were at risk. The blow was devastating.
The powerful strike from the Gongsu class not only had immense power but was also quite shocking.
This Upper Plane was the territory of All Gods, and if they didn’t leave quickly and were caught by All Gods, things would spiral completely out of Tremble’s control.
Within the Space Channel, Lin Yi used the Creation and Immortality Law to restore Gongshu De’s state.
The earth-shattering strike earlier indeed had massive power, but it also consumed Gongshu De significantly, rendering him unable to fight now.
"Old man, you’re something else, managing to severely wound that guy by such means. If that guy hadn’t recovered in time, your strike might have taken his life."
Lin Yi’s analysis made much sense.
But Gongshu De was never one to overestimate himself, respecting facts.
Moreover, without Lin Yi’s help, the best outcome of that move would have been Gongshu De gaining an advantage, but Tremble had sixteen experts behind him.
Without Lin Yi, Gongshu De would have been utterly defeated.
After such a life-and-death battle concluded, Lin Yi showed no survival-induced joy on his face; as a millennia-old monster, Gongshu De clearly knew that Lin Yi didn’t exert his full strength in the battle just now, he definitely had more aces up his sleeve.
At that moment, he finally understood the meaning of the Divination Genius’s words.
Lin Yi was his life-saving material.
The person he should follow was Lin Yi, whose current power was not yet at his level.
"You know very well, I couldn’t possibly kill him. It’s already great that we managed to escape."
Mr. Gongsu lavishly praised Lin Yi, but even so, Lin Yi showed no signs of pride.
Along the way, the two sighed over the unpredictability of life.
Lin Yi could tell that what Gongshu De lamented most was the current Dark Rising Organization.
Despite being extraordinary, they could not escape the ugly side of human nature.
Even Tremble, the most powerful among them, was like this.
Gongshu De couldn’t understand, could the title of the strongest really not compare to the camaraderie of old?
Both were lost in their own thoughts.
Lin Yi was never one to take advantage of others, so he couldn’t bring himself to ask Gongshu De to join him.
After some inner struggle, he decided to give Gongshu De the freedom to choose.
After successfully escaping the Formless Realm and reaching the Desire Realm’s pathway, Lin Yi finally felt secure enough to leave the Space Channel.
"Old man, what do you plan on doing next, still going back to Dark Rising?"
On the shore of an unknown planet, the sunset was slowly descending.
As the golden hue shone on Gongshu De, it added a touch of wistfulness to his already aged face.
Yet the twilight that passed through his gray temples made him appear visibly younger.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged by the beach with Gongshu De, feeling the damp sea breeze on his face, listening to the rhythmic sound of the waves. It seemed only in this way could this old guy’s mood slightly calm down.
Return to the organization? No, I won’t.
Gongshu De decisively refused.
Throughout the entire matter, he had not done anything wrong, but he knew very well that if he returned home now, he would be the sinner of the entire Dark Family.
If Tremble were to go back, he would certainly deceive the other top-level officials, portraying himself as a courageous defender of Gongshu De, suggesting that the only force capable of putting him in such a state could be the elite troops of All Gods.
Gongshu De was expected to die at the hands of All Gods.
If Tremble said this, it at least showed some conscience.
If he claimed Gongshu De’s departure was due to betrayal, then Gongshu in Dark Rising would become a rat everyone wanted to beat.
If that were the case, why return?
Dark Rising was already chaotic enough.
The unceasing counter-attacks from All Gods left Dark Rising with no breathing space, unable to hold, only forced to retreat step by step.
If he were to further expose the grievances between the two, how much impact would it have on the Dark Rising Organization?
