The Eastern War God and his allies, including the Four Corpse Kings, have joined forces to fight against the Dark Rising Organization. Lin Yi is tasked with defeating the Four Corpse Kings using the Fu Xi Talisman, while other factions engage in battle. Meanwhile, Tremble, a leader of the Dark Rising Organization, confronts Lin Yi, revealing his intent to kill him due to the threat Lin Yi poses.

With this confidence, it shows that Lin Yi’s mentality is genuinely good. As for Lin Yi, he doesn’t mean much; he’s just certain that Tremble won’t make a move against him here.

Tremble has fought against him, and knows Lin Yi possesses various strange skills. Indeed, there is a gap in their Divine Power Levels, but Tremble doesn’t dare to claim he can kill Lin Yi with a single strike.

At the moment, Lin Yi hasn’t spoken, hasn’t uttered a single word against Tremble.

But if it really comes to blows, would Lin Yi give Tremble face and keep the embarrassing secret he witnessed? Surely, he’d expose Tremble’s actions on the spot.

Yet Lin Yi’s cleverness appears as a blatant provocation to Tremble.

"Are you short on sleeping pills? I can get you some of those. Take one, and it’ll guarantee you a good night’s sleep."

What kind of stuff?

Lin Yi’s words left Tremble perplexed on the spot.

At a time like this, the kid has the nerve to bullshit with him?

"I!"

Tremble clenched his fist, pressing the invisible Divine Power Blade against Lin Yi’s back slightly forward, yet after some contemplation, Tremble ultimately abandoned the idea.

He wasn’t absolutely sure he could kill Lin Yi, nor could he tolerate Lin Yi ruining his bright future.

After a brief thought, he offered a choice:

Kid, I can offer you a way out. However, on one condition, after this battle, you are not allowed to appear in the Dark Rising camp again. Find an opportunity to use your spatial shifting skill to leave the battlefield, and I’ll consider you dead. After all, I won’t find you; just don’t obstruct my path again. Change your name, live in peace, and I’ll guarantee you lifelong safety.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

Guarantee lifelong safety.

What an international joke. Tremble, has he the capability to make such statements?

This guy is truly the type that’s all brawn no brains. Saying he’s strong in the limbs is actually trying to find some merit in him.

Regarding strength, Tremble is apparently Dark Rising’s strongest, but realistically, he’s not that formidable.

The other top brass of Dark Rising have somewhat seen that the organization’s path won’t last long, and the background of the Immortal King isn’t as simple as it seems.

After dominating the Three Realms and Six Paths for so long, how could he and his subordinates be weak?

This simple truth is clear even to that foolish woman Luo Bingxin, yet only Tremble remains unreasonably confident.

"Oh? You want me to disappear? I could accept that. Alright, I’ll grant your wish."

Lin Yi didn’t want to appear in the spotlight anyway.

Having demonstrated his skills on this battlefield, he has already become a target that must be killed by the All Gods Camp.

For this reason, Lin Yi must hide away.

What? Stay in Dark Rising, let them protect him?

Lin Yi doesn’t believe Dark Rising can protect him well.

Having ventured alone for so long, Lin Yi understands one truth: you must harden yourself to forge iron.

The power borrowed from others can indeed yield unexpected effects at critical moments and also permit him to experience pleasures beyond his level.

Yes, Dark Rising has strength, but compared to the All Gods Camp, it’s not much.

The shortcomings are even more apparent.

To oppose All Gods, Dark Rising pulled in many forces.

This method indeed boosts Dark Rising’s power in the short term, but the negative effects it brings cannot be denied.

The loyalty of those who joined the organization without stringent scrutiny is understandable, and Lin Yi doesn’t think staying in the organization provides absolute security.

For safety, you must rely on yourself.

Tremble was somewhat surprised, as Lin Yi’s straightforward attitude completely didn’t match his profile.

Does this guy respond to threats, pressure? It’s rather bewildering.

Before Tremble could react, Lin Yi, along with over twenty of his clones, rejoined the battlefield.

On the front lines, a Dark Rising member at Divine Power Level C carelessly struck by the Drought Demon’s attack.

A horrifying big hole in his abdomen is ablaze with fire.

His flesh is decomposing at a visibly rapid pace.

The terrifying heat is perceptible even with the naked eye.

No matter how this Dark Rising member urges his Divine Power and Taichu, there’s no way to extinguish the blazing Karmic Fire on his abdomen.

Others who were accidentally struck by the Drought Demon generally choose to abandon the affected part and rely on the Power of the Primordial to regenerate their bodies.

But this guy is relatively unlucky; he simply doesn’t think he can regenerate after giving up his lower body in his current state.

Watching his comrades turning a blind eye to his injuries, unwilling to lend him a hand, endless despair rises within him, and he closes his eyes, letting the burning Karmic Fire on his body blaze hotter.

"Hey, Brother Ge, what are you doing? Giving up now?"

Brother Ge closed his eyes, feeling the fall of his body.

As he fell, a gentle force securely lifted him up.

Simultaneously, the scorching sensation from his abdomen completely disappeared.

Have I died?!

Upon hearing someone call his name, with the pain from his body utterly vanished, Brother Ge’s only thought was that he had met a good brother on the Yellow Spring Path.

After all, no one dares touch the Drought Demon’s Karmic Fire.

But when he instinctively opened his eyes, he found he hadn’t set foot on the Yellow Spring Path; he was still on the battlefield.

The reason he stopped falling was not because he had died but someone really caught him.

"What are you doing, Brother Ge, pretending to be dead, huh? Dealing with the Four Corpse Kings isn’t just anyone’s task. They block the entire Dark Rising’s path forward."

The person speaking was Lin Yi.

Brother Ge had a brief encounter with Lin Yi.

Back then, Lin Yi’s Divine Power Level wasn’t high, but his ring had reached Level B, giving him a higher status in Dark Rising compared to Brother Ge.

Their meeting was due to Lin Yi seeking Brother Ge’s help. At that time, Brother Ge’s attitude wasn’t good. He couldn’t accept an inexperienced kid climbing above him and didn’t show a slightest good attitude even until Lin Yi finished his business.

Brother Ge had thought he’d never cross paths with Lin Yi again in this lifetime, never expecting Lin Yi would save him from the hands of the Drought Demon.

At this moment, Lin Yi wore a warm smile on his face.

No different from the humble Lin Yi of the past.

"What’s this?"

Brother Ge’s eyes showed confusion and a hint of pity.

Typically, when encountering trouble, a person would laugh mercilessly at the misfortune of someone they disagree with.

Lin Yi did not.

His smile gave a sense of comfort and security.

"Isn’t this me here to rescue you, just ready to return to the battlefield, when I caught a glimpse of an old acquaintance severely injured. Not exactly at the brink of death, but it was also pretty bad."

Saying this, Lin Yi placed his hand upon the hole in Brother Ge’s abdomen.
