Beauty and the Bodyguard

In this situation, if it were really four versus five, the advantage of having one more person on the opposite side would be greatly amplified.

Especially as the famous sword absorbs more and more sword energy, their respective strengths will increase rapidly. In this case, it is easy to form a snowball effect. As long as the opponent does not make stupid mistakes, they will be almost invincible.

Li Yangzhong is indeed bad enough, but he also really depends on the point.

Unless others are willing to come forward and accept this almost irreversible huge disadvantage, whether it is Xu Taiyi or the prince, or Wei Yuer and Lin Yi who are watching with cold eyes, they can only hold their noses and accept his blackmail.

With the unsolvable trump card of damage immunity, Li Yangzhong was completely confident.

"I don't want to be a salty fish, and I also want to cooperate well with you, but if I can be lucky enough to be favored by the rules of the sword, at least there is always a chance of survival, right?"

Li Yangzhong talked eloquently: "But you have to let me see some opportunities, otherwise there will be no hope at all. Instead of working for you when I am tired, I might as well just choose to lie down."

Xu Taiyi frowned and said, "But lying flat won't do you any good, right?"

Li Yangzhong grinned: "Why not? I'm lying down. At least I can feel comfortable for a while. What do you think, Senior Brother?"

"..."

Everyone was collectively speechless.

Meeting such a teammate at the beginning of the game really makes people don’t know what to complain about.

The prince was so angry that he scolded his mother on the spot. If there was no such nonsense as damage immunity, Wei Yuer would die, and so would Li Yangzhong!

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then Li Yangzhong reminded him quietly: "Masters, time waits for no one. In the time you have been hesitating, the opponent might have already collected hundreds of sword energy."

Xu Taiyi had no choice but to say: "What do you want?"

Li Yangzhong smiled slightly: "Senior brother, don't get me wrong. I really didn't mean to hold you back. On the contrary, only when a weak scum like me gets enough sword energy can I share some of the pressure with everyone and cooperate with each other for a win-win situation." .”

“What a win-win cooperation!”

The prince laughed angrily: "According to your wishes, we will share the sword energy with you. Do we have to thank you properly?"

Li Yangzhong shook his head calmly: "That's not necessary. In fact, my requirements are not high. It's just that everyone takes out the sword energy and divides it evenly. This way no one will become the weakest link, and it will be convenient for us to work together."

What he said was high-sounding.

Everyone was choked to the point of being collectively speechless.

At this time, Lin Yi suddenly said: "Average score? I'm afraid it can't be done."

Li Yangzhong's expression changed: "Why can't you do it? Lin Yi, you'd better think clearly before you speak. If you don't cooperate and everyone is forced to fight four against five, you will have to bear the blame!"

Lin Yi glanced at him: "Have you ever played games?"

"ha?"

Li Yangzhong couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi said calmly: "Have you ever seen a group of people huddled together to fight in the jungle?"

Now everyone was stunned.

But when Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head and left, Xu Taiyi quickly reacted: "Brother Lin is right, we can't all crowd together to collect sword energy. That would be too inefficient. We still have to split up in the early stage, and everyone should go their own way." Be careful."

After saying that, after setting a time and place for everyone to gather, they immediately turned around and left.

The prince laughed and looked at the dumbfounded Li Yangzhong like an idiot: "Idiot, you really think you can get us to work for you with just a few words. Who do you think you are?"

Li Yangzhong couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Do you really think I don't dare to show off?"

"No matter how you mess it up, I won't be the first to die when the time comes."

The prince laughed and walked away.

Turning around to look at Wei Yu'er, I don't know when she had disappeared.

Li Yangzhong was completely embarrassed now. His blackmail can only be effective if it is based on the premise that everyone accepts it. Once any one of them fails to cooperate, a similar broken window effect will occur.

After all, everyone is not a fool. Even Xu Taiyi, the most generous senior brother, will never be the only one left to be wronged when everyone else is dismissive.

"Lin Yi!"

Li Yangzhong just wants to kill people, but unfortunately he can only think about this kind of thing. If he can kill his teammates, then he will be the one to really worry about.

In desperation, he had no choice but to intuitively find a direction with abundant sword energy, and hurriedly began to collect sword energy.

On the other side, Lin Yi, who was out of everyone's sight, did not continue to move forward, but looked meaningfully at the Seven-Star Longyuan in his hand.

After a moment, Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head: "As expected."

He had only speculated before, but now he was certain that the one in his hand was definitely not the original Seven-Star Dragon Abyss.

Jiang Xiaoshang's voice sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness: "You can say it is a fake, but you can't say it is completely. It does incorporate part of the original sword spirit of Qixing Longyuan, but other parts have nothing to do with the original version. ”

"Sword spirit?"

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sword spirit, a legendary thing, really exists?"

Jiang Xiaoshang affirmed: "Of course it exists. Theoretically, as long as the energy is gathered to a certain extent, it is possible to give birth to some life-like bodies outside of conventional concepts.

If a top swordsman keeps nourishing the sword body with sword energy and communicates with it with his own sword heart, if the time is long enough, there is a certain chance that the sword soul will be born.

However, it is different from ordinary living beings in that, except for a certain degree of independent will, it does not have other life activities. Using your secular world's understanding to understand it, it can be regarded as some kind of artificial intelligence. "

Lin Yi tried to sense it, but Qixing Longyuan had no response. He couldn't help but shook his head: "It seems that this artificial intelligence is still dormant now."

"It should be because of the self-protection mechanism after the energy is lost. If nothing else, as long as enough sword energy is poured into it, it will wake up."

Jiang Xiaoshang changed the subject meaningfully: "What I'm interested in right now is, what does the sword master want to do in causing such a big scene?"

Although there were only ten people participating in the event, and except for Lin Yi, they were all disciples within the Sword Pavilion. From this point of view, the scene was indeed not big, and it was not even worthy of the level of the Sword Rules.

However, the top ten famous swords from ancient times are presented at the beginning. Even if they are not serious original versions, there is a saying that any one taken out here is enough to cause a sensation in the entire sea area.

Such a lineup, no matter where it is placed, can be regarded as a rare and generous move.

Lin Yi blinked: "Maybe he just wants to find a successor to see who is most in line with the rules of the sword?"
