Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1157 - 1090: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys

He drew his saber and immediately pointed it at Lin Yi, his tone already full of threat:

"Boy, you are truly arrogant.

I don’t care who you really are, or what kind of sacred identity you claim to hold, but since you say you’re the Emperor of those two countries and insist this is true, then don’t blame us for being ruthless.

Since you are the Emperor of the Ally Kingdom, then you are our enemy.

Faced with an enemy, we naturally won’t hold back. Boy, today, I shall personally cut you down, and after I’ve done so, let you know the true might of us!"

As he spoke, he raised the large knife in his hand and charged towards Lin Yi seated at the top.

The ferocity in his eyes was undeniable, and the intent to kill was not concealed in the least.

Yet, facing this scene, the crowd all displayed expressions of anticipation as if watching a spectacle, even the Grand General had no intention of stopping him.

After all, in his view, if the attacker could succeed, then he needn’t fear this man anymore.

Some generals even shouted out in approval.

Their eyes were filled with excitement, seeming to enjoy the prospect of executing him on the spot—they were accustomed to such bloody scenes, which is why they relished the bloodshed.

Executing a person right on the spot was no different from crushing an ant for them.

After all, which of them hadn’t dozens or even hundreds of lives on their conscience?

It’s hardly an exaggeration to say, if it were not for the war merits they carried, they wouldn’t be where they are now, considering such high positions are naturally built on stacks of bones.

This is ancient society, this is the unavoidable reality of the current feudal dynasty.

Yet observing the scene, with the attacker rushing at him, the massive knife raised high, Lin Yi remained extraordinarily composed, even displaying a smile that fooled everyone into thinking he’d been scared senseless.

This expression, this demeanor, was definitely not fitting for the current moment.

After all, seeing the knife about to strike him, anyone who could still smile must either not exist or be a fool.

At this very moment, Lin Yi watched the attacker charging at him with a knife, his expression did not change much, but instead, his smile grew brighter.

Only those familiar with him could recognize this as the prelude to his eruption.

This is when Lin Yi is most terrifying, for when he truly becomes angry, he never shows any emotion on his face—an eerie trait of successful individuals.

The Grand General closest to Lin Yi saw his expression, for some reason, felt his heart tremble involuntarily, and secretly wondered why this pleasant smile felt so terrifying?

An invisible pressure emanated from Lin Yi, making the Grand General very uneasy. A man who had fought battles his whole life felt Lin Yi was extremely dangerous.

This was an instinct, honed by enduring life and death tests on the battlefield.

This terrifying pressure from Lin Yi was familiar to the old man, reminiscent of past experiences.

Each time cost him dearly.

The numerous scars on his body were all obtained from such times.

But, in this moment, he refused to believe, or perhaps didn’t want to believe, that Lin Yi truly had such abilities.

He didn’t want to believe Lin Yi could exude such pressure.

To him, Lin Yi was merely a demon who had tormented him, making him suffer extreme punishments.

His heart was exceptionally hateful toward Lin Yi, now more hopeful his subordinates would succeed in one move and eliminate Lin Yi on the spot.

Though it seemed time was stretched out in the narrative, the moment when the attacker raised his knife and struck, it was truly just a blink of an eye, the knife raised over his head, ready to slash down on Lin Yi.

This strike threatened to take mere breaths to arrive, and should it land, Lin Yi would surely die on the spot.

Those present anticipated what would happen next, some even began licking their lips in excitement, as if the bloody scene was about to unfold before them.

At that moment, according to the crowd, even if Lin Yi wanted to dodge, it was already impossible.

Given such proximity and the hefty force of the blow, no one could evade it, not even the Grand General; there was no longer time to escape!

Yet, Lin Yi observed everyone’s reactions and chuckled to himself inside.

These people truly don’t understand me at all.
