Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 882 842: I'll Make You a Grand General

In the blink of an eye, these people had already arrived in front of Lin Yi.

Not only that, they were all quickly reaching out to grab Lin Yi.

As for the knives in their hands, there was no need to use them now; didn't they hear the king say to drag him out for beheading?

If they used knives here and spilled blood all over the palace, they might get a scolding.

So these people thought of reaching out to drag this guy outside.

However, none of them could have possibly expected that although they came quickly, they would leave even quicker.

Just as they approached Lin Yi and reached towards him, they suddenly saw a blur before their eyes, followed by a sharp pain throughout their bodies, then their bodies suddenly flew backwards.

As for Lin Yi in the arena, his stance had instantly changed from earlier; originally sitting leisurely, he was now standing up, and his arm was now covered with a layer of metallic armor.

But that's not all—everyone had only glimpsed Lin Yi, who was now swinging both fists at them, and before they could react, those fast fists had already struck their bodies.

This was something none of them could have imagined; when they saw that fist coming at them like a spring, the only thought in their minds was, "Is this real? Is he even human?"

But they had such thoughts only because Lin Yi's punching speed was unbelievably fast.

Such speed was not humanly possible; within several breaths, over a dozen people were sent flying.

Of course, this wasn't Lin Yi's own ability; though he's very formidable and physically strong, this punching speed was due to the Iron Man Armor's system.

In front of the system, throwing three to five punches per second was nothing; indeed, throwing thirty to fifty punches per second was quite achievable.

As long as Lin Yi's arm could withstand it, even throwing 1,000 punches per second was something the system could easily accomplish.

Of course, if he really did that, Lin Yi's arm would likely break completely.

Seeing such a display, Prince You was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed and mouth agape at the spectacle before him, not knowing what to say.

He had seen formidable people and had many under his command but hadn't seen anyone like Lin Yi before.

Someone who could lay out over a dozen men in the span of a single breath.

What kind of power was this? What kind of combat strength?

If he had such an impressive person under his command, he could possibly sweep across several nations.

This was not a joke; if he really had such a person, with some training, they could easily conquer everywhere.

Plus, looking at the guy before him, he didn't seem foolish at all.

Thinking he'd be an excellent general was not overstating it.

But now this person was standing against him, which made him worried.

Still, this guy was shameless enough; seeing such a situation, he suddenly laughed, and what he said next made Lin Yi stunned.

"Haha, such excellent skills! Well, I'm one who appreciates talent. Now, I give you a chance; do you dare to accept it?"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Lin Yi's response or for him to accept or decline before continuing:

"Right now, I'm in need of people, and adding to the fact that today Prince Ning suddenly died, leaving me short a general. I'm giving you a chance to become a general, are you willing?"

Having said that, he looked at Lin Yi with a disdainful gaze, as if he'd given him a massive favor.

At this point, he assumed Lin Yi would definitely agree, as no one could resist such a temptation, especially when he had just said he'd have him beheaded.

Now not only is he not beheading him, but offering him prestigious ranks and rewards—how could he refuse?

Yet what he hadn't expected was that, upon hearing these words, the guy opposite him also started laughing, and what he said next nearly made Prince You's eyes pop out.

"Haha, you have quite the nerve. Do you know? I was the one who rid the world of Prince Ning on behalf of the Heavenly Dao today."

With these words, Prince You was stunned; he hadn't at all expected this guy to say such a thing.

What did he mean? Prince Ning was taken down by him?

But to his knowledge, Prince Ning was killed by an immortal sent by heaven according to eyewitnesses, who claimed that after killing Prince Ning, the immortal left on clouds.

How could such an immortal stand before him?

How could it be this ordinary-looking lad?

In his heart, immortals were luminescent beings.

Though the guy before him looked handsome, he was far from being an immortal, at least compared to his impression of immortals.

Moreover, he had the Celestial Mirror, and Daoist Wu had also connected with the Heavenly Dao; if an immortal truly descended upon the Imperial Palace, how could Daoist Wu not notice?

Daoist Wu would certainly rush over immediately.

Because of this, he immediately suspected the guy before him was bluffing and likely knew about today's incident.

Returning to him, he probably wanted to profit from it.

Admittedly, this guy's imagination was quite wild, and even without Lin Yi speaking, he had already concocted several versions of the plot in his mind, which were far from the truth.

"Hahaha, what a joke! Aren't you afraid of boasting nonsense here? Do you know Prince Ning was killed by a celestial? Do you think a mere mortal like you can speak such drivel?

Remember, because you have some skills and talent, I planned to find you a way out. But unexpectedly, you dare to be so recklessly audacious as to slander the celestial."
