Beauty and the Bodyguard

9240 chapter 9239-power

He didn’t know if there were any idiots who would sell their freedom for power and become a watchdog of Xingyun tower, but Lin Yi wouldn’t do something so stupid.

He gave up on the first option and looked at the second option. The things that the employer of the pagoda could get for free would be greatly reduced. However, it was not a bad way to earn benefits in the form of mission rewards.

The problem was that after leaving the star Cloud tower, they still had the obligation to respond to the star Cloud tower’s enlistment. This was very annoying!

It seemed that they could retain their freedom, but in reality, they were still under the control of the star Cloud tower. Who knew when the enlistment would become a life-and-death journey?

Lin Yi thought back to the martial artists he met just now. Maybe some of them were the employers of the pagoda? There shouldn’t be too many other cultivators in the first echelon besides the darkness demon beast clan.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was climbing at a much faster speed when he was alone-he should’ve been the one leading after the first group, and shouldn’t have encountered so many practitioners.

So, some of them were hired by the star Cloud tower? To be honest, Lin Yi felt that it was better to be a guard than an employer. He wouldn’t have freedom either, but at least he’d be invincible as a guard!

Other than that, Lin Yi was also guessing that the dark Demon beast clan might have become Xingyun tower’s employers. If that was the case, it would make sense for him to encounter the dark Demon beast clan.

With the support of the Nebula tower, the dark Demon beasts could move around more easily. However, the employer had to listen to the orders of the Nebula tower and couldn’t target Lin Yi. Otherwise, Lin Yi would probably meet more Dark Demon beasts!

After understanding the hidden traps in these two paths, Lin Yi didn’t hesitate anymore.

“I choose the third option. I will continue to be a challenger of the Nebula tower!”

Lin Yi wasn’t interested in waiting for the sixty seconds to pass. He made his choice right away-this was the time to catch up to the first group. He didn’t have time to waste.

The star Cloud tower didn’t send any more messages. It silently opened the portal to the 14th floor, silently allowing Lin Yi to continue the challenge.

Lin Yi exerted strength in his legs and charged into the tunnel. He started climbing the stairs as soon as he reached the 14th floor.

The gravity and repulsive force on the steps kept changing randomly, and the force was four times that of The Thirteenth Step!

The star Cloud tower was not joking when it said that the difficulty would be multiplied!

Lin Yi, who was standing on the steps, also felt an obvious tearing feeling. If it was a sea shattering realm warrior, he would have been completely torn apart the moment he stood on the steps!

But to Lin Yi, this level of change in gravity was still within an acceptable range. He was used to it, so he didn’t feel too bad.

If he were to withstand the gravitational repulsion of this degree the moment he entered the stellar cloud Pagoda, he might be sent flying out of the astral stairs immediately. Right now, the most he could do was to slow down his pace a little.

Other than that, there were also more projected clones on the starry stairway. There were five of them. Although they didn’t form a battle formation, they were all projected clones created by the star Cloud tower. Their joint attack power wasn’t any weaker than that of a battle formation.

Lin Yi frowned. What kind of existence was the star Cloud tower? Was it a pre-set rule, or was there really a consciousness that was controlling everything?

Or could it be that even though it had consciousness, it could not break the established rules and could only move within the range of the rules?

Lin Yi thought about these questions as he easily defeated the clone on the first step. As the star energy in his body was refined and restored, his strength increased steadily. These normal clones made by the star Cloud tower were no longer a threat.

Unless it was one of the top bloodline experts of the darkness demon beast clan, a complete copy of it would cause a lot of trouble.

As he continued up, the difficulty of the projection clone and the starry stairs increased, but Lin Yi was still able to handle it easily. He quickly reached the thirty-third step!

“You again! They’ve been seeing each other a lot recently! Is this fate?”

Lin Yi stepped onto the 33rd step and saw the twelve clones of the Golden dark shadow Demon. He was speechless!

Was the star Cloud tower at its wits ‘end? What’s the point of always creating a projection clone of the Golden dark shadow Demon?

“This can be considered an ill-fated relationship! He he he!”

The Golden dark shadow Demon crossed its arms and smiled.””Don’t be surprised. I am a real clone, and the other 11 are the projection clones of the Nebula tower. However, the projection clones this time are different from the 100000 troops you encountered before. They are true full body projections!”

“In other words, these 11 projection clones are no different from my real clones. Be prepared. I won’t let you escape so easily this time!”

lin yi shrugged nonchalantly, “you’re saying so much because you think i’ll be afraid? i’m not even afraid of a hundred thousand of you, so why would i be afraid of you?”

to be honest, after seeing 100000 golden shadow fiend clones, 12 was nothing to him. lin yi said that he was very calm and didn’t feel any fear at all!

“it doesn’t matter if you’re scared or not. what’s important is that you’ll die here!”

the golden dark shadow demon sneered and waved his hand, telling his clones to get into position and attack lin yi.

Lin Yi raised his hand,”wait, wait. I’m curious. You’ve become a mercenary of the pagoda, right?” Was that why you were summoned to deal with me? Furthermore, we can’t transfer more people over. Is it because the rules of the pagoda don’t allow it?”

“Actually, how useful can a clone of yours be? No wonder you can only guard the 33rd step. The star Cloud tower also knows that you can’t stop me, so they’re just using you as a pawn to stall for time, right?”

It was a guess he’d made before, and he had more confidence now. It’d be best if he could confirm it, but it didn’t matter if he couldn ‘t.

The Golden dark Shadow Demon’s expression didn’t change as it indifferently said,””A dead man doesn’t need to know so much. You only need to know that you’re going to be finished soon! You dare to look down on me? Those who underestimated me are all dead!”

He didn’t want to take it lying down. He felt that it wasn’t his problem to be beaten by Lin Yi repeatedly, just like when the Army of 100000 projection clones surrounded Lin Yi.

If he had the right to command, he’d be able to kill Lin Yi in one shot-what was the point of all this?

It was different this time-not only was it a complete clone, but he had full control of it, too. He could do whatever he wanted with it, and the chances of killing Lin Yi were much higher.
