However, the guy who secretly attacked was likely to intercept the space-shattering seal-breaking Pearl. Once it exploded before it touched the seal, even if it could break a piece of space, it would not be able to leave the range of the seal!
Lin Yi's body extended as he rushed in the direction of the space-shattering restriction-breaking Pearl. At the same time, he used his thousand forest transformation, and hundreds of clones surrounded the Pearl.
The combat power of these doppelgangers was extremely low. To the person who had ambushed them in the dark, they were no different from paper. They were completely destroyed at the first touch.
Lin Yi didn't expect the clones to be able to stop the sneak attack. He only used the clones to wrap around the Pearl like water. It was like a stone's trajectory and speed in the air was hard to track, but it would be ten times or a hundred times clearer in the water. As long as the attacker made a move, the clones would be able to slow down a bit and reveal the enemy's position.
All of this happened in a split second-Lin Yi's thousand changes of wood and forest destroyed all the clones on his right hand, creating a straight path that was wide enough for a person to pass through.
"Over there!" Zheng Dongsheng exclaimed. He was even more nervous than Lin Yi. Something as good as the space shattering restriction beads wasn't something that could be taken out easily. If he failed this time, he wouldn't be able to take it out again.
Lin Yi didn't need Zheng Dongsheng's reminder. He was already prepared when he used the thousand changes of wood and forest. When the clone was destroyed, he activated the earth-splitting attack talisman that Wang Shiyang gave him. A powerful attack instantly appeared at the front of the clone's tunnel. With a loud bang, the opponent's defensive barrier appeared again. The surface of the barrier rippled like boiling water, and it only lasted for a few seconds before it completely shattered.
At the same time, the attack of the earth splitting attack talisman was also exhausted, unable to continue to affect the sneak attacker behind the defensive barrier.
The attacker looked at Lin Yi in surprise before disappearing again. Lin Yi didn't know if it was a martial skill or a prop, but it was a real headache.
The space-shattering restriction-breaking Pearl finally hit the transparent barrier in the air. It silently shattered a part of the space, creating an irreparable gap in the entire restriction. Lin Yi couldn't care about the sneak attacker who disappeared. He activated his lightning escape technique at full force and rushed out of the gap with Zheng Dongsheng.
Zheng Dongsheng was still in shock, but although this old man's combat power was low, his survival experience was extremely rich. He knew that it was not necessarily safe to leave the restriction, so he directly activated a low-level prop in his hand, the sky-blasting Thunder.
The attack power of the quaking Thunder was not worth mentioning. An ordinary Aurous core stage cultivator would have a 70 - 80% chance of withstanding it without suffering any damage. To deal with the sneak attacker, it was no different from a gentle breeze. However, it had one advantage, which was that it caused a lot of movement!
The sound waves from the battle in the restriction were completely blocked, so the spirit beast guards in the palace would not come to check. However, once the quaking Thunder exploded, the entire Palace could hear the sound. If it were not for the restriction of the defense formation outside the palace, even more than half of the capital would have been alarmed.
It didn't matter who sent the assassin, but after the huge commotion caused by the quaking Thunder, he couldn't continue chasing Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng. After all, the person behind him wasn't powerful enough to cover the sky with one hand. If the king of spirit beasts came out of seclusion, the situation would be even worse.
Lin Yi was also secretly praising Zheng Dongsheng in his heart. This old man's mind was clear at the critical moment, knowing to attract the guards 'attention to get rid of the pursuit. He thought that Zheng Dongsheng was an old man who didn't know the situation and had no vision, but it seemed that he had underestimated him!
There were spirit beast guards all over the palace, and they were only transferred to this small area. Now that something big had happened, it wouldn't be long before countless spirit beast Masters arrived. But before that, Lin Yi couldn't afford to be careless, in case the sneak attacker got him.
After a few flashes with Zheng Dongsheng, Lin Yi had already left the range of the restriction. The spirit beast guards rushed over and surrounded the two with cold expressions.
"Someone tried to assassinate us. Hurry up and track down the assassin. What's the meaning of surrounding us?" Zheng Dongsheng calmed down a little and knew that he should be safe for the time being. When he saw the appearance of the guards, he suddenly shouted loudly.
Since he had already offended the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon, what was the big deal with these small fries? What's more, Zheng Dongsheng was one of the elders of the outer hall. He was assassinated because of his Guard's negligence. It was not too much to lose his temper.
Those spirit beast guards were all expressionless. No one paid attention to Zheng Dongsheng's rage. In addition to the more than a dozen guards who surrounded the two of them, more were rushing to the location of the incident. Obviously, they did not need Zheng Dongsheng's command. They already knew what to do.
Lin Yi stood calmly with his hands behind his back. Even his divine sense couldn't find the attacker, so he was definitely a top-tier assassin. These guards were strong, but it was almost impossible to find the assassin.
Moreover, judging from the previous situation, the assassin was clearly a spirit beast. That was why the guards on that section of the road had been evacuated so cleanly. Perhaps after the assassin had removed his disguise, he had directly become one of the leaders of the guards. Where else could they find him?
"We're the victims. Why are you looking at us like you're looking at prisoners? Could it be that you want to help the assassin deal with us?" Zheng Dongsheng got even more aggressive when no one answered him. Lin Yi even suspected that the old man was too agitated and didn't care anymore.
"Elder Zheng, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak to me directly. Why make things difficult for these little guys? they are only loyal to their duties!" The next moment, the four inner sect elders appeared in front of the two of them.
Seeing the Vermilion Bird and the Green Dragon appear at the same time, Zheng Dongsheng was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was completely listless. The imposing manner in front of the guards disappeared in an instant. He instantly changed into a submissive posture and bowed to greet the four elders.
He had no choice. If these big bosses wanted to kill him, they could do it with a look. They didn't even need to send their subordinates. He dared to argue with the small fries, but he didn't dare to argue with them.
"Elders, it seems that the security of your Palace is not good enough. This is the hinterland of the palace, but the assassins can still come and go as they please. Fortunately, the targets of the assassins were us two elders of the external clan. If it was the king who was in seclusion, the impact would be too bad." Lin Yi cupped his fists casually, a mocking smile on his face as he spoke to the four elders.
