However, at this moment, Lin Yi's hand shook and three rare fruits that looked like golden cores appeared in his hand. They were the Wandu golden core fruits.
"What do you mean? Now you want to surrender? I'm telling you, it's too late!" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he sneered arrogantly. However, his expression immediately froze, and his face was filled with embarrassment and anger from being fooled.
Lin Yi didn't take out the three fruits for him at all-he threw them into the depths of the forest with a look of "if I can't get them, then you can forget about getting them!"
F * ck! The middle-aged man's face started twitching as he watched the Wandu golden core fruit fall into the forest. He wanted to tear Lin Yi into pieces right now.
However, he didn't dare to chase after Lin Yi anymore. He was 200% sure that he could kill Lin Yi, but the most important thing now was to get the Wandu golden core fruit back. Even if he knew that Lin Yi was trying to escape, he had no choice but to fall into his trap.
After all, there were countless powerful spirit beasts hiding in the forest. If he just ignored them, the three Wandu golden core fruits might have been eaten by the passing spirit beasts by the time he came back after chasing Lin Yi.
The reason why the five high rank spiritual beasts did not eat the Wandu golden core fruit directly was that it was not ripe yet. They could wait for a while more. But now that it had been picked, it would wither very quickly if they did not eat it. These spiritual beasts were not stupid. If they found out, they would definitely eat it immediately.
If that really happened, even if the middle-aged man killed Lin Yi to vent his anger, it would be useless.
"Hmph, I'll let you live a little longer. When I get the Wandu golden core fruit back, you'll still die today!" The middle-aged man cursed. He turned around and ran in the direction of the Wandu golden core fruit. He was determined to get it.
The middle-aged man rushed into the dense forest. He raised his overbearing aura to the extreme and scared away all the spirit beasts within a few miles. Although doing so in this place was suspicious of asking for trouble, he had to make sure that the Wandu golden core fruit would not be eaten by the spirit beasts. He had no choice but to do this.
"I'm so mad! Where did this kid throw the Wandu golden core fruit to?" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth in anger as he watched Lin Yi run away, but he had no choice but to get the item back first.
The appearance of the Wandu golden core fruit was dazzling. However, even a God would not be able to find it easily in this dense forest. After all, this thing was not like humans and spirit beasts, who could sense obvious fluctuations in aura.
The only choice left for the middle-aged man was to be like an ordinary person, pushing aside the grass again and again and looking inch by inch with the naked eye.
This continued for half an incense's time before the middle-aged man finally found the Wandu golden core fruit. It was shot into the trunk of a giant tree, but it wasn't damaged. Lin Yi must've used some skill to protect it with pure Qi.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed to see this and immediately stepped forward to take it. However, at this time, an inexplicable sense of warning rose in his heart.
"Could it be that we've attracted some powerful spirit beast?" The middle-aged man frowned, and before he could figure out what was going on, a figure fell from the sky above him without any warning. It was Lin Yi, who had just escaped.
He didn't think that Lin Yi would come back when he was looking for the Wandu golden core fruit! Lin Yi had just run away from him! He was completely unaware of Lin Yi's sudden appearance and wasn't prepared for it at all.
In a fight between Masters, a moment of distraction was often enough to be a fatal flaw. Lin Yi was overjoyed when he saw the middle-aged man's reaction. He didn't waste his time running around with the butterfly microsteps.
As long as he caught them off guard, he could reverse the passive situation of being suppressed just now and obtain the opportunity to launch a surprise attack!
"Hmph! You actually dared to come back and ambush me. With your puny strength, so what if I let you have one move? you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Even though he was caught off guard and fell into a passive position, the middle-aged man still remained arrogant.
He'd already figured out Lin Yi's strength from the exchange just now-he was at most at the early golden core level, and that was far from enough to fight a mid-golden core!
However, when Lin Yi descended from the sky and combined the energy bomb and the fire bomb in his hands, the middle-aged man's face finally changed and turned pale.
What kind of monster was this kid? this move was not only at the early stage of the Golden core realm, but even the middle stage of the Golden core realm was only so!
BOOM! The huge hucai Sky Noon Mountain suddenly trembled, and countless spirit beasts scattered in panic. Even the vast ocean on both sides suddenly surged with huge waves that couldn't be calmed for a long time.
"Eh? He didn't die even after that?" Lin Yi looked at the giant hole in front of him as he endured the pain. His heart sank when he couldn't find the middle-aged man.
He'd already used his strongest trump card, and if he still couldn't kill his opponent, then Lin Yi really didn't know what to do. As expected of a mid-stage golden core practitioner, fighting to the death with such a strong opponent was still too much for him.
But luckily, from the pool of blood on the ground, the middle-aged man was at least half-dead after taking that ultimate attack. He was so heavily injured that he didn't dare to fight anymore. Otherwise, he would've killed Lin Yi instead of leaving.
In this situation, Lin Yi didn't dare to stay any longer. He picked up the Wandu golden core fruit and chose a direction to run in. If the middle-aged man turned around, he would be dead for sure in his current state.
He was already heavily injured, and now that he was risking mutual destruction to activate his ultimate move, wave after wave of dizziness started to hit Lin Yi's nerves. Even if he didn't take any more attacks, he might just lose consciousness and fall on the spot.
He forced himself to maintain his last bit of consciousness and ran for who knows how long with his injuries. He was already out of the hucai tianwu mountain's boundary and saw a man-made road in front of him. He relaxed and fainted on the ground.
Even Lin Yi himself didn't know that after he lost consciousness, his self-protection mechanism was activated, and he was forced into the Jade space to heal. (To be continued.)
