I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 978: Chapter 978: The Reversed Situation

Luo Bingxin’s voice rang out, and then she stepped in front of Old Xuan and Ao Shu.

She just slightly moved her fingers, and the hands of Old Xuan and Ao Shu, who had been locked in a clash and completely on the defensive, were lifted up, completely breaking the passive situation.

”Her bloodline purity is way above yours. If you want to match her, just relying on yourself is impossible. Haven’t you noticed we’ve got an extra debuff on us?”

Only when Luo Bingxin asked that did Old Xuan realize something was off.

He really did clearly feel his own state changing.

But he hadn’t thought in the direction of a debuff at all.

He just simply assumed that Ao Shu’s Bloodline Power purity exceeded his imagination and completely suppressed his strength.

He didn’t notice, and he didn’t calmly think about whose battle pet Ao Shu actually was.

”Alright, come out. The difference in strength between us is too big; as long as we carefully sense it, we can detect your presence. Stop playing ghost.”

Luo Bingxin raised her head and looked toward the space above. Her gaze was filled with a biting sharpness; she was clearly displeased with Ao Shu’s appearance and interruption.

Hearing the other side put it that way, Lin Yi no longer had any reason to keep hiding. He immediately deactivated his [Seventy-Two Transformations] skill and revealed his figure together with Xiyue.

”I’d planned to join in on the encirclement of the Four Great Corpse Kings to see if I could pick up some opportunity or something. Didn’t expect that the moment I arrived at the Dark Rising Headquarters, I’d sense the Array. I was wondering, isn’t the main battlefield over by the Four Great Corpse Kings, how come there’s something else going on? Turns out it’s you.”

Lin Yi looked at the beauty in front of him and spoke with a grin.

Luo Bingxin’s beauty was the kind that kept people a thousand miles away.

The heroic spirit emanating from her brows made anyone who met her eyes unconsciously feel a bit intimidated.

”The Dark Rising intel didn’t say you weren’t human, but with Old Xuan showing you this much respect, it can only mean you’re also one of those terrifying existences whose bloodline can’t even be measured by the Dragon God.”

Lin Yi’s guess was precise and decisive.

The cleverness he displayed made Luo Bingxin start to look at him with new eyes.

No wonder this kid, with Divine Power Level that isn’t all that strong, could get a Dark Rising Ring equal in status to hers, and even obtain that legendary External Divine Artifact, Divine River Song.

”Hehe, so you guessed it. And so what?”

”Given the gap in strength between us, do you think that.....”

Before Luo Bingxin could finish, powerful forces of Immortality and Creation burst out from Lin Yi’s body.

This Harmonization Level Supreme Law, carrying Divine Power and Taichu, fell upon the Dark Rising members who’d been heavily wounded by Old Xuan.

Lin Yi had been secretly observing for a long time and had basically watched the entire development of events.

He’s not some saint, so logically he had no obligation to care about others’ life or death, but these colleagues—who weren’t even that close—were willing to give their lives rather than betray Lin Yi.

As the saying goes, if you give me a foot of respect, I’ll return ten feet.

They placed heavy value on bonds and loyalty, and they’d already done this much for Lin Yi, so Lin Yi naturally had no reason to just watch them be killed.

So, Lin Yi stepped in to heal them.

The injuries they suffered came from the backlash when the Array was broken; their bodies hadn’t been invaded or disrupted by Old Xuan’s Divine Power.

Under these conditions, healing their injuries was almost too easy for Lin Yi.

Sure enough, as green fluorescent light, bit by bit, fell onto the injured Dark Rising members—

The churning blood and blocked power inside them were instantly cleared.

The physical injuries they’d taken were healed in an instant, their bodies became exceptionally light, and even the stamina and Source Power they had consumed were restored.

”Th-this.....”

The Dark Rising members were all dumbfounded.

The info on Lin Yi only recorded the ways of combat he was good at and the offensive methods he’d mastered, but never mentioned that Lin Yi could even play the role of a healer.

Looking at Lin Yi’s figure suspended in the sky, the Dark Rising members, for the first time, acknowledged him this much.

At this moment, no one still thought Lin Yi had just relied on some opportunistic tricks to expose the crimes of All Celestial Divine Beings.

”Right now, in terms of Divine Power Level, I’m indeed not as good as you. If we talk bloodline suppression, you can even make Ao Shu completely lose the ability to fight. But you can’t deal with so many of us at the same time.”

”So then, want to give it a try?”

Seeing those Dark Rising experts who had been heavily injured earlier, already half a step into the gates of hell, now standing up again, Luo Bingxin’s expression turned extremely ugly.

How to put it... this feeling left Luo Bingxin rather helpless.

First, have the Four Great Corpse Kings attack the Dark Rising Headquarters to draw the attention of all Seven Heroes of Dark Rising.

On that point, the Four Great Corpse Kings had done perfectly, without arousing any suspicion from the Seven Heroes.

Then snatch control of that information system from the hands of Dark Rising experts to get the intel she wanted.

On that point, Old Xuan had also done it for her.

Even Lin Yi had shown up right in front of her.

Clearly, Lin Yi was no match for her. So how did the situation end up looking this unfavorable now?

Luo Bingxin couldn’t figure it out.

”Miss, it’s my fault for not killing them all immediately. I.....”

Old Xuan lowered his head, standing beside Luo Bingxin, full of guilt.

Luo Bingxin, though, had no intention of blaming him.

At first, the reason they hadn’t decisively killed them was simply because Luo Bingxin didn’t want to make the situation look too ugly.

Who knew a variable like Lin Yi would show up....

Besides, creatures of the Dragon Race lean heavily toward belief in fate. Rather than saying they’re some person’s creatures, Luo Bingxin preferred to believe in the explanation that Lin Yi and the many Dark Rising experts ”were not fated to die yet.”

In a daze, that shattered Slaughter-Demon Golden Immortal Array appeared again. The golden shield it formed wrapped around Lin Yi and the others completely, just not including those four turncoats.

Seeing the Array reappear, seeing their teammates fully recover yet showing no intention of saving them, the four turncoats immediately panicked a bit.

”Brothers, aren’t you forgetting something?”

”Yeah, brothers, we’re on the same side here. What we said just now was just to stay alive, we never really meant to betray Dark Rising.”

”That’s right, brothers. In that situation just now, if we hadn’t cooperated, hadn’t stalled for time, how could we have waited long enough for Brother Lin Yi’s rescue?”

Lin Yi had heard shameless lines like this more times than he could count.

He’d long since developed immunity to this kind of talk.

At the side, Xiyue’s brows were furrowed even tighter as she listened.

Other people’s malice toward herself, Xiyue could pretend not to know.

But when it came to malice toward Lin Yi, that was different.

Trying to sell out Lin Yi in exchange for a chance at survival—this, in Xiyue’s eyes, was a capital crime.

So, before the four turncoats could finish their words, Xiyue activated her Martial Soul and launched an attack beneath their feet.

The phantom of the Midgard Serpent shot straight up into the sky in an instant.

The powerful and quick-reacting Old Xuan and Luo Bingxin easily dodged the attack.

The four turncoats, who were busy begging for mercy, failed to react in time and were swallowed whole by the Midgard Serpent phantom.

In an instant, a suffocating sensation enveloped them.

Intense pain lingered all around their bodies, forcing them to release their Divine Power in great quantities, wrapping their bodies in it to resist the invasion of the poison.
