Beauty and the Bodyguard

The commander was in a difficult position. If cruel malevolence did not show up, he would have tested the strength of the top five. However, now that cruel malevolence was standing in front of him, he did not have the guts to do so.

If they really fought and the other party took advantage of the situation to eliminate him, then he really wouldn't be able to find his grave even if he cried.

After all, he didn't know what the high priest's attitude was. He didn't know if the high priest was willing to choose to have an all-out conflict with the walkers in order to win him over!

"I still want to go back to sleep. Commander, you'd better make your choice as soon as possible."

Cruel malevolence raised three fingers in public.

One second later, he retracted one, and another second later, he retracted the second.

A drop of cold sweat fell from the commander's forehead. He watched helplessly as the other party slowly retracted his last finger, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

"Must it be like this? it's so troublesome."

Cruel malevolence said this, but his movements were not slow at all. Almost at the same time as he spoke, he had already flashed in front of the commander. They were only one step away from each other.

He was less than 1.8 meters tall, and compared to the commander's huge body, he looked weak and fragile.

However, at this moment, the commander's pupils constricted, and he actually had the unprecedented urge to escape!

He had never fought with cruel malevolence before, but based on his past battle records, he had a basic judgment.

If the two of them were to fight one-on-one, his chances of winning would not exceed 40%.

Not to mention, Madam Qing and the other top five were also eyeing them covetously!

Even if their individual strength was not as good as each other 's, they were at least on the same level. Even if one of them was sent up, it would be enough to turn the battle into a one-sided battle. Not to mention that the top five advisors were bound to advance and retreat together.

But in front of so many subordinates, he definitely could not retreat.

Once he retreated, not only him, but the entire temple guards would not be able to raise their heads in front of the Wayfarer team.

However, if he didn't retreat, with cruel malevolence's past performance, he wouldn't be able to stop once he started fighting. At that time, he wouldn't have the chance to stop even if he wanted to.

If it wasn't handled well, it might turn into a completely unmanageable situation.

In that short instant, the commander deeply understood what it meant to be in a difficult position. He regretted it-he shouldn't have jumped out and targeted Lin Yi. Nothing would've happened if he'd just been a turtle hiding in its shell.

At most, he could just tell others that he was in seclusion. Even if there was some gossip, it would be harmless.

He wouldn't be like now, forcing himself into a desperate situation with no way out!

"Damn it, I admit defeat."

Just as the chief commander sighed and was about to take a step back and find a relatively decent posture to admit defeat to the other party, an ethereal aura suddenly enveloped the heads of everyone present.

Everyone's eyes twitched.

Time seemed to have stopped.

However, Lin Yi didn't feel any fluctuation of time rule power. This was not a physical freezing, but everyone's spiritual perception, including his, was distorted by the mysterious power.

"Unfathomable!"

The white-robed old man descended slowly from the sky, and Lin Yi didn't even need an introduction to know who he was.

It was the high priest of the sea god's Palace, Zhang xisheng.

Wolf face and the Grand Marshal's exchange of blows paused for a moment, but he was the first to break free from the inexplicable freezing. He continued his attacks without even looking at the publicly acknowledged number one beneath the sea god.

However, the attack did not land on the commander. Instead, it was blocked by an invisible force.

Lin Yi raised a brow-this wasn't just pure spirit energy, it was some sort of composite energy that was fused with laws!

As a master who was good at using spiritual energy, he knew the difficulty of this more than anyone else. Even if it was just a simple primordial spirit attack attached to an ordinary attack, it was not an easy thing, let alone this level of deep compound.

Just this point alone showed that the other party's attainments in this aspect were far beyond his reach.

"Phew ..."

The commander heaved a sigh of relief. If the high priest had not intervened, he would have been ready to bow his head.

After all, he couldn't beat them. He couldn't really throw his entire life away for such a small matter, right?

As an objective and neutral third party, in a situation where he was weak, rushing to fight with someone head-on was not just an iron-headed idiot. Perhaps the water of the entire Four Seas could not fill his brain ...

The high priest had obviously noticed this, so he had intervened to help him out of the situation.

It had been thirty years since the last time this boss had made a move.

"The two of you, please calm down."

The high priest opened his mouth to suppress the situation. However, before he could finish his words, cruel malevolence attacked again. He easily broke through the restraint of his will.

Not only that, but he also released the commander and turned to attack the high priest!

Everyone was in an uproar.

Although the first Walker usually looked drowsy and didn't seem to be a threat to anyone, once he moved, he was really earth-shattering and heaven-shaking. The moment he made a move, it was a big move that shocked everyone!

From the looks of it, he was actually going to start a fight with the high priest!

Not to mention the other people present, even Madam Qing and the other top five advisors were clearly stunned for a moment.

The conflict between the school of walking and the school of priests had accumulated to this day. Although it had long been irreconcilable, if it continued to develop like this, everyone knew that there would be a Great War.

Moreover, if the two sides were to shed all pretenses of cordiality and start a fight, it would definitely be a world-destroying super war that was enough to overturn the power structure of the entire sea realm.

But no one had thought that this scene would come so early and so quickly!

Everything had happened too suddenly.

Everyone's minds were racing as they came up with all sorts of schemes, but Lin Yi was the only one who was watching with great interest like an outsider.

This kind of super level exchange was too rare. To be able to witness it up close, even he would benefit a lot.

In the blink of an eye, cruel malevolence was already in front of his opponent. He clawed at his opponent with one hand. The entire process was simple.

Everyone was watching the high priest's response.

As a result, the kind-looking old man did not change his expression. He threw away the dark gold robe that represented the status of the high priest, revealing a body of strong muscles that was completely different from his appearance and temperament, and threw a punch at him.

BOOM! BOOM!

As they watched the two sides exchange blows, the crowd did not feel any fluctuations in rule power. From the looks of it, there was no earth-shattering phenomenon, and it was even worse than two ordinary Supreme realm experts.

However, just a short while later, the shockwaves from both sides erupted. Not only did the ground beneath them shake, but the entire sea goddess Hall and even the entire sea realm shook violently.

It was like the end of the world!
