Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Confronting Taishi Hong

"Of course, I am merely speculating," Cang Wuji shook his head and then his gaze fell upon Lin Yi, "Whether or not he possesses the strength of the top five on the King List, only Lin Yi himself knows for certain, but what is clear is that this person must possess some ability."

The Grand Minister nodded, "For someone to be considered as having some ability in your eyes, Cang Wuji, is already an extremely high evaluation."

"It seems that a new star of the younger generation is about to rise."

However, Cang Wuji’s eyes held no great ripples. As far as he was concerned, Lin Yi’s strength was not yet worthy of his serious attention, meriting only a second glance.

Upon the thirteenth Battle Platform.

Lin Yi had already faced his first opponent!

It was none other than Jing Wuyi, the Sword Saint’s disciple, who had previously been defeated by Lin Yi!

"Lin Yi!"

The moment Jing Wuyi caught sight of Lin Yi, flames seemed to burst from his eyes, "Last time at Tianxing Building, I lost to you because of a momentary oversight; this time I won’t give you another chance!"

Jing Wuyi suddenly stamped on the ground, his body shooting out like lightning. Around him, lightning flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Lin Yi.

With a swing of his blade, a torrential surge of thunderous Sword Intent poured forth, transforming into a Thunder Prison that sealed Lin Yi in!

Almost simultaneously, he unleashed the Soul-cutting Flying Knife, slashing towards Lin Yi, who was still trapped by the Thunder Prison!

These two moves, used together, showed that Jing Wuyi had learned from his last defeat, this time fully unleashing his advantage in speed, getting the jump on Lin Yi with lightning-fast speed to beat him!

Crack!

At that moment, the Thunder Prison was suddenly sliced open by a sword, and Lin Yi’s figure emerged from within!

But the Soul-cutting Flying Knife was also right in front of Lin Yi!

Lin Yi, unable to avoid it!

An ecstatic look spread across Jing Wuyi’s face, as things were progressing just as he had expected!

However, just as he basked in the success of his plan,

Lin Yi suddenly extended his hand with the speed of lightning and, to Jing Wuyi’s utter shock, caught the Soul-cutting Flying Knife in his grasp!

"What?!"

Jing Wuyi’s eyes bulged, nearly popping out of their sockets, astonished that Lin Yi had caught his Soul-cutting Flying Knife barehanded?

Before giving him a chance to remain shocked for long, Jing Wuyi suddenly clenched his hand, shattering the Soul-cutting Flying Knife!

Spurt!

The moment the Soul-cutting Flying Knife shattered, Jing Wuyi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying backward!

Within that Soul-cutting Flying Knife was contained a large amount of his soul power—with the knife destroyed, it meant all of his soul power had been extinguished in an instant!

With what seemed an effortless defeat of Jing Wuyi, Lin Yi’s strength sent shockwaves through the younger contestants.

"It seems the rumors of Lin Yi’s victory over Jing Wuyi are true; not only that, but the gap in strength between the two is considerable!"

"Truly one of the Five Great Demons of Central Province, making such a strong showing in his first tournament to set the ranks. There are probably very few among the younger generation who can contend with him."

"With the strength Lin Yi has displayed, he should certainly be able to break into the top ten this time; his chances are great!"

"..."

Hearing the heated discussions in the crowd, Taishi Hong’s expression turned very unsightly, feeling a great pressure emanating from Lin Yi’s presence.

Against Lin Yi, he did not have certain victory.

The odds of victory, at best, were probably only seventy-thirty!

Perhaps even sixty-forty!

"Lin Yi’s strength has progressed even further," Yan Qingrou rested her snow-white chin in her hand, her beautiful eyes shimmering with astuteness.

At Tianxing Building, the gap in strength between Lin Yi and Jing Wuyi was not so vast; their fight was somewhat evenly matched. But now, Lin Yi had directly crushed Jing Wuyi, who didn’t stand a chance in front of him!

Ye Kurong spoke with a grave face: "That kid is very good at hiding his strength. Hao Yanluo, when you face him, you must give it your all without the slightest bit of arrogance, or else I fear you will face humiliation."

"What’s the hurry? He hasn’t even gotten past Taishi Hong. Once he defeats Taishi Hong, only then will he be qualified to challenge me!"

Hao Yanluo narrowed his eyes. Although Jing Wuyi was a disciple of the Sword Saint, his strength still fell short of the top ten on the King List, so losing to Lin Yi wasn’t surprising.

He had been beaten up by Lin Yi before, but that was because Lin Yi took advantage of an Array. In a fair fight, how could Lin Yi possibly harm a hair on his head?

As the competition continued, Lin Yi, after defeating several opponents in succession, finally came up against Taishi Hong.

"Lin Yi, ending up in the death group is your misfortune. Your rise stops here!"

Taishi Hong drew the long blade at his waist, and a mighty Sword Intent suddenly burst forth, like a surging tidal wave after wave, assaulting Lin Yi!

He aimed to overpower Lin Yi with momentum!

However, Lin Yi stood still, his clothes fluttering in the breeze, bearing Taishi Hong’s Sword Intent with his meat body.

"You think your strength insufficient to stop me."

"How dare you look down upon people?"

Taishi Hong’s face suddenly darkened, "I’ll make you understand, even if you are one of the Five Great Demons, you still lack the qualifications to look down on those in the top ten of the King List!"
