Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1158 - 1090: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (Part 2)

From the moment that guy drew his blade against him, the outcome was already set in stone.

And under this kind of atmosphere, that guy’s greatsaber was already cleaving down through the air.

The massive blade, carrying the puff-puff sound of air being torn apart, chopped straight toward Lin Yi’s head.

One meter, half a meter, ten centimeters.

Clang!

Seeing the blade about to fall on Lin Yi’s head, the brawny man who had charged over already had a cruel grin on his face.

At the same time, his heart was filled with smugness. Bastard, no matter who you are, no matter how arrogant you act, right now you’re about to become a soul beneath my blade!

At a time like this, who cares whether you’re the Emperor of Zhao Country or the Emperor of Dayou?

No matter who you are, in the very next second you’re going straight down to report to King Yama.

As if he could already taste success, the corners of his mouth split all the way to his ears, that cruel smile plastered across his face.

Yet under this kind of mood, just as that feeling had barely risen in his heart, there was a booming clang as his blade and the other man’s head made intimate contact.

But what no one had expected was that after this loud crash sounded, everyone could tell this wasn’t the sound a blade and a skull should make; it was more like metal crashing into metal.

And as everyone’s eyes whipped over in disbelief, trying to see what on earth had just happened, they saw the greatsaber in that brawny man’s hands instantly shatter and fly away. Not only that, but the big man’s whole body stumbled back several steps before he plopped down hard on his ass with a thud.

As for that guy at this very moment, he was still sitting right where he had been, smiling with narrowed eyes, the expression on his face not having changed in the slightest.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat all at once, and then a cold sweat began streaming down their backs.

Inside, they were so scared they didn’t even know what to say anymore.

What the hell is with this guy? How can he still sit there safe and sound after taking a blade like that? Is his head not made of mortal flesh?

One after another, they looked at Lin Yi, then at the brawny man who’d been blasted back and was sitting on the ground with blood constantly seeping from his torn tiger’s mouth, then at the greatsaber lying in the distance. On that blade, a huge notch had already appeared.

Just from the look of that notch, you could tell how terrifyingly powerful that strike had been.

You could say that right now, aside from the missing chunk, a crack had already run through the entire blade. It looked like it was about to snap in half.

Originally, they had still been wondering if this big man had deliberately gone easy, if that chop hadn’t actually landed on the other guy, that it had all just been for show.

But looking at it now, that saber strike had very clearly and solidly landed on the other man’s head. So why had this scene appeared before their eyes?

Why was it that after this strike, the other party was completely fine, while the greatsaber instead had shattered and the burly man had been sent flying?

You have to know, this man was famous for his courage and ferocity. The greatsaber in his hand carried the force of a thousand jun; even when facing cavalry, one swing could cut a Warhorse clean in half.

That alone was enough to show just how terrifying the force behind this strike was.

Precisely because of this, precisely because of this scene playing out before them, everyone was completely dumbfounded. They stared blankly at Lin Yi, mouths agape. Aside from the terror in their hearts, they no longer had any words left, because they no longer knew how to describe this, how to even open their mouths.

Now, when they looked at Lin Yi, it was like they were looking at some kind of monster.

In short, the same thought popped up in all their minds: this absolutely isn’t a human.

That’s right, everything Lin Yi had just shown simply wasn’t something a human could do. This kind of method was just too brutally over the top.

And right at this moment, Lin Yi’s voice rang out again. His tone was extremely kind and gentle, so soft and mild that not a hint of killing intent could be felt. In fact, it even gave people a feeling like a spring breeze brushing their faces.

"Heh, you really do pack quite a punch. Looks like you usually train pretty hard. No wonder they call you a fierce general. Heh, it’s just that in my eyes, you’re still a bit lacking in heat."

The way Lin Yi spoke made it sound like the other party hadn’t just tried to kill him, like that saber hadn’t just slammed into his own body. It was as if he were casually commenting on something completely unrelated to himself.

This left everyone thoroughly at a loss.

As for that brawny man, sitting on the ground now, his face was full of fear and disbelief. The sharp pain from his torn tiger’s mouth had scared him witless. When he looked back at Lin Yi, his gaze was even more terrified than everyone else’s.

After all, he was the one who had experienced that strike personally. He knew exactly how much force he had put into it.

He also knew he had poured almost his full ten-tenths of strength into that blow. Under such force, the other guy was actually able to sit there without a single hair harmed, his entire body not even moving an inch. How could he not be scared out of his wits?

And now, after hearing the other man’s "review," he only felt his whole body break out in a bone-deep chill.

Even though the other person’s tone was extremely gentle, with no other emotion in it, when it entered his ears it was nothing but sheer terror.

While everyone still had no idea what Lin Yi wanted to do or what he meant by those words, Lin Yi’s voice rang out again.

This time, he didn’t just speak; he also waved his hand. In an instant, a small black object appeared in his palm.

"Heh, but since you chose to make a move on me, naturally I can’t just let this slide.

Even though your skills are lacking and you failed to hurt me, I am, after all, the Emperor of Zhao Country and Dayou’s Emperor. Someone like you cannot be allowed to slight my dignity.

You’re a fierce general. Just now you struck at me and I didn’t retaliate—that was already the greatest honor I could give you.

But now you have to pay the corresponding price for everything you’ve done.

I only hope that once you’re down there, you can continue to display your bravery and help King Yama carve out a realm of his own."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his arm and pointed his hand at that brawny man.

This instantly made everyone’s expressions tense up. Even though they didn’t know what he was about to do, and didn’t understand what it meant when he raised his hand like that, for no reason at all, their hearts all skipped a beat.

And at this moment, just as terror flooded that brawny man’s eyes, they heard a soft puff.

Right after that, the big man sitting on the ground fell over on the spot. Looking again at his forehead, at the spot between his brows, a bloody hole was gushing fresh blood.

Yet Lin Yi at this moment still wore that same spring-breeze smile on his face.

He raised his palm and lightly blew on it. At once, everyone saw a wisp of greenish smoke curl up from his hand.

This time, no one could stay calm. Their eyes were filled with nothing but shock and fear. None of them had imagined that he could kill a man with just a wave of his hand—and kill him in such an invisible, traceless way.

How terrifying was such strength? Humans have always been afraid of the unknown. Right now, they hadn’t even seen how he moved, yet he’d already done something like this.

What shocked them most was that there were no sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, or forks in his hand—not even a Crossbow or arrows of any kind.

In other words, he could directly kill a man with a mere lift of his hand.

Especially when their eyes fell on the big man’s forehead, they all felt an itch at the centers of their own brows. That fear rising from deep within their hearts instantly wrapped around their entire bodies.
