Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 893 853: Nothing at All

Looking at the hand on his wrist that had already reached the designated time, Lin Yi couldn't help but curve his lips slightly upward.

At the same time, he stood up directly.

His action instantly drew the vigilance of the surrounding subordinates.

Their expressions, which had just relaxed, immediately tensed to the extreme, and the curved sabers in their hands all pointed at Lin Yi, as if fearing he might make any move.

However, facing this group of people, Lin Yi was indifferent, stood up, straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes, and leisurely walked towards the door.

With his movement, there was a clattering sound that immediately arose, needless to say, it must be the sound of the guards' armor rubbing against each other.

As Lin Yi took one step forward, the group retreated one step back, and like that, he moved forward, and they moved backward—one step, two steps, three steps—until he reached the great hall's doorway.

Finally, the leading guard was the first to shout:

"Everyone, form up!"

Suddenly, a group of guards thrust their sabers forward, while their other hands tightly gripped round shields, holding them closely to their chests.

"Heh, if I truly wanted to leave, do you think your bunch of people can stop me?"

Faced with these extremely tense people, Lin Yi slightly curled his lips, revealing a playful smile.

His gaze was filled with teasing as he looked at them.

Clearly, he didn't regard these people and his arrogant demeanor infuriated those on the opposing side.

A few of them, who were unfamiliar with Lin Yi's skills, were eager to rush up and give him a thrashing.

After all, in their eyes, this guy was just a lone person, though they were fully equipped soldiers, and with dozens of them present, dealing with someone seemingly powerless should be an easy task, right?

But without orders from above, no matter how much they wanted to, they didn't dare step forward.

At this moment, Lin Yi's cold voice sounded again:

"The time has come. If you insist on blocking me, I don't mind knocking you all to the ground."

With these words, everyone looked at each other, and ultimately, they all turned their gaze toward the leading guard.

The leader frowned deeply and looked toward one of his subordinates, who was responsible for keeping time.

Though their goal was to block this guy in front of them, King You had indeed previously mentioned that they just needed to hold him for half an hour, and then let him go.

After seeing the timekeeper nod, the leader gestured to his subordinates.

With the wave of his arm, the group of soldiers wielding their curved sabers promptly retreated to either side.

They just stood there, eyeing Lin Yi as he leisurely walked out of the great hall.

"Are we just going to let him leave like this? He's just an ordinary person, isn't he? Even if he's skilled, there are so many of us here. Wouldn't it be easy to take him down?"

As soon as Lin Yi stepped out of the great hall, the leader's adjutant couldn't help but whisper.

Hearing this, the leading guard's thoughts were stirred, contemplating that if he captured this guy, King You would surely reward him heavily.

Though he was unsure of this guy's origins, he knew this person wasn't friendly with King You.

Hearing the adjutant's words, the surrounding guards also turned their gaze to the leading guard, awaiting his command. If he indeed gave an order, they wouldn't hesitate to swarm and capture Lin Yi.

Under such gazes, the leading guard's heart moved.

He opened his mouth, about to command action.

But just then, Lin Yi, already outside, stomped his foot, and instantly his entire body was covered in a layer of steel armor.

This sight made the guard swallow his imminent words, leaving him speechless, unable to articulate anything further.

Not just him, but the surrounding guards, who initially intended to step forward, were stunned by this scene, remaining frozen in place, not daring to make any move.

As for the earlier words with the leader, they forgot them entirely, joking that advancing now would be courting death.

Didn't they see this guy stomping his foot, getting covered in thick armor all over?

This kind of armor looked extraordinary, even without knowing its properties.

But that wasn't all. To their shock, the armored figure outside suddenly leapt up, his entire body catapulting into the air.

As Lin Yi ascended into the sky, the group of guards rushed outside with a clamor.

Seeing Lin Yi already floating in mid-air, they were agape, filled with disbelief.

They had long retracted their previous thoughts of capturing him, not even daring to entertain the idea anymore.

The leader, in utter amazement, after a long moment, gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and ordered everyone to disperse and return to their original posts.

Just kidding, how could ordinary mortals like them provoke such an immortal figure?

Meanwhile, he couldn't help feeling a sense of dread; this person had been around them all along, and they weren't exactly cordial to him. If he had indeed attacked them, they'd probably already be reporting to the afterlife.

Let's not dwell on their regrets here, and focus on Lin Yi's side.

With a single leap, he soared into the sky, heading straight toward the lake.

Soon, he appeared right above the shimmering lake.

Gazing at the sparkling waters below, Lin Yi slightly furrowed his brow and descended rapidly.
