Dare to Kill My Horse?!

She sacrificed herself for others, and in return, she found endless loneliness.

But what about those she saved?

Besides recounting Ji Lin's past achievements, what did they do?

After bestowing upon Ji Lin the title of a hero, they took Ji Lin's contributions for granted.

Few people cared about her battles, and even fewer worried about the risks of Chiyou's seal, as if Ji Lin should have been selflessly sacrificing herself for others until her death for five thousand years.

After his epiphany, Ji Lin truly felt that those people who still shone with dazzling light were now incredibly glaring and incredibly—despicable.

Those people clearly don't deserve your lives to protect them!

If you were just like me, you could have a much easier and happier life!

Perhaps because Ji Lin's anger was spreading to the surroundings, Chiyou beneath her feet became even more ferocious.

As Chiyou stomped heavily on the ground once more, Lin Yu and the other three, who had been gradually caught up by Chiyou, suddenly felt a violent tremor in the car.

"Oh no, this is terrible."

At this moment, Yuno turned around and glanced at Chiyou, then spoke to everyone with great anxiety.

"Chiyou's oppressive aura is too strong; my Herrscher Core is still increasing its operating speed."

"I feel like I'm losing control, everyone get ready!"

"What do you mean by 'accurate'?"

Kiana, who was still acting as a human engine, suddenly watched helplessly Yuno was maintaining shattered into pieces right before her eyes.

If she hadn't braked in time, those scattered parts would have hit her all over the head.

"Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it."

Lin Yu, who was carrying Rita as he slowly descended from the sky, placed Rita into Kiana's arms.

"Kiana, you take Rita and retreat first."

"Didn't we agree that you wouldn't have any more children???"

Seeing Lin Yu's actions, Kiana said in a panic.

"I know you're strong, senior, but the problem is that Chiyou is a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, and you can't beat him by yourself—hey, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Kiana was furious as she watched Lin Yu forcefully throw the Xuanyuan Sword the air and then jump up and step on it.

"You lied again! In the end, you still went to cover our retreat! You were asking for death!"

"Okay, stop howling."

After leaping up and landing on the Xuanyuan Sword, Lin Yu spoke to Kiana behind him before leaving.

"I'm not covering the rear, I'm just going to—take care of that troublesome old bastard Deng."

"You all hurry up and meet up with Branch Leader Theresa and the others. After you've dealt with that old Deng, Chiyou is counting on the Branch Leader and the others to put in a good effort to take care of him."

Watching Lin Yu's figure fly into the sky, Kiana knew that rushing over now would not help him in the slightest.

Moreover, although Chiyou has surprisingly not attacked Lin Yu, it has not stopped its advance.

If they stay here, Kiana, Yuno, and the unconscious Rita will only be crushed into mincemeat by Chiyou, who will then drain their Honkai Energy.

"Let's go, let's ignore him!"

Kiana, who was holding Rita in her arms, immediately activated the thruster mode and said angrily to Yuno without turning her head.

"Let him charge if he wants! I'm not going to bother with him anymore!"

"Well..."

Watching Lin Yu's departing figure, Yuno didn't know what to say.

In fact, like Kiana, she also disagreed with Lin Yu's idea of charging alone towards that villain on Chiyou's head.

But now, no matter what she's thinking, all she can do is run away with her companions.

Damn it, I thought my strength was enough to handle most battles.

However, in the face of an absolutely powerful being...

—Having just mastered the power of the Herrscher, am I still just an incredibly weak newbie?

Chapter 113. You dare kill my horse?!

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was charging upwards on the Xuanyuan Sword, finally... after hearing the footsteps behind him gradually fade away.

—I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Chiyou in front of him was constantly radiating a strong sense of oppression, perhaps because Ji Lin was controlling Chiyou, this ferocious beast did not directly attack Lin Yu.

Although Lin Yu was already prepared to dodge while in mid-air, being able to dodge is one thing, but not having to dodge is always better.

Moreover, everyone is now leaving him, which means he can no longer rely on others for support, but at the same time, it also means...

—Sigh, after hiding my trump card for so long, I can finally take it out and use it.

Previously, Lin Yu had exhausted most of his Honkai Energy and magic power through two battles. If he had encountered other enemies at that time, it would have been troublesome without revealing his trump cards.

But now, the Ancient Dragon Water that I drew earlier happens to be an item that can restore energy.

After taking out the Ancient Dragon Water and gulping it down his throat, Lin Yu felt that both his magic power and Honkai Energy had simultaneously returned to their maximum values.

In that brief moment, he also took out a pack of instant noodles that he had hidden in his storage space and popped a piece into his mouth.

Over the course of the month, he tested the (Noodle Eater) buff trigger mechanism multiple times.

For a short period of time, whether Lin Yu eats one type of pasta or multiple types of pasta, he can only trigger one buff.

As for the effect of the buff, it has absolutely nothing to do with the type or quantity of the pasta; it's purely random.

Only the duration of the diet is accompanied by an increase in the total amount of pasta consumed.

The problem is, even a small piece of instant noodles is enough for Lin Yu to maintain his buff for a few minutes.

Most of the battles he faces are actually quite short, a few minutes is more than enough.

The moment the instant noodles entered Lin Yu's body, he could feel that his strength had increased significantly.

After completing all these preliminary steps, Lin Yu used magic to weave an iron chain that wrapped around the Xuanyuan Sword, forming a magic barrier in the air.

Using this magical barrier as a foothold, Lin Yu easily completed multiple jumps.

To be honest, for people with special energy, as long as their special energy can form physical objects in space, then as long as their physical skills are slightly better than ordinary people, they can perform aerial jumps by stepping on physical objects.

Of course, in battle, forming a barrier requires concentration, but when facing a powerful enemy, if you are suddenly distracted, whether you can return to defense in time is another matter entirely.

Some people can't do a double jump, which is clearly due to the game mechanics, not because they can't do it.

Surely no one thinks a double jump is really that difficult?

"Ah ah."

Watching Lin Yu leap all the way to the top of his head, Ji Lin, who had now completely turned evil, suddenly let out a helpless sigh.

"If you want to escape, I really can't guarantee I can catch up with you. But you clearly have a way out, so why do you insist on coming to my death?"

Or perhaps...

Looking at the Xuanyuan Sword in Lin Yu's hand, which was bound by magical chains, Ji Lin suddenly chuckled and said.

"You've come to your senses and decided to offer the Xuanyuan Sword to me?"

"Ha, you've got a really good idea."

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was gripping the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, spoke to Ji Lin expressionlessly in order to maintain the combat power boost brought by the [Cold Face] trait.

Do I look like the kind of coward who would kneel down on the spot if he met someone stronger?

"It doesn't seem like it."

Looking at the young man before him, Ji Lin said with a touch of emotion.

"Looking at you, I feel like I'm seeing my past self, just as passionate, naive, and just as foolish."

After uttering the word "stupid," Ji Lin's smile gradually took on a hint of 'madness'.

"You seem to still think that protecting others is a very honorable thing, just like I used to think."

"It seems like I'm still the same as I used to be, believing that the strong should protect the weak."

"It seems like I'm still the same as I used to be, thinking that I'd be willing to sacrifice myself to protect those ignorant fools."

At this moment, Ji Lin's smile finally vanished completely.

"But don't worry, younger generation of Shenzhou, I won't let you suffer in the darkness like I did."

"Because—I will kill you right here!"

"Oh, well said. So, is your boring speech over?"

Feeling the sudden vibration from the Xuanyuan Sword, Lin Yu immediately looked down at the Golden Holy Sword in his hand.

"Ah, old friend, it seems you agree with my opinion."

At this moment, Ji Lin extended his right hand toward the Xuanyuan Sword in Lin Yu's hand.

"Return to my hands, and fight alongside me once more."

The instant Ji Lin finished speaking, Lin Yu felt the Key of Domination in his hand unleash an incredibly terrifying energy.

But in the next instant, the Xuanyuan Sword, which had broken these magical chains, did not return to Ji Lin's hands.

On the contrary, this golden holy sword, which was shining brightly, turned into a beam of light and merged with the star ring vortex in Lin Yu's hand to form a new pair of gauntlets.

These gauntlets are similar to Fu Hua's [Key of Domination - Tai Xu Grip], but they are not exactly the same.

At this moment, the pair of gauntlets, which are mainly black and gold, also have a feather on them, just like the Tai Xu Grip.

Unlike Fu Hua's Tai Xu Grip, the feathers, which were originally crimson, now began to shift and change color between black and white.

"This... this is impossible!"

Seeing that the Xuanyuan Sword not only failed to obey his commands but also transformed into other weapons and attached themselves to Lin Yu's hand, Ji Lin glared at Lin Yu with a grim expression.

"What have you done?!"

"What did I do? Instead of asking me that question, you should think about whether you are disliked."

Feeling the powerful energy emanating from the gauntlets in his hands, Lin Yu maintained his indifferent tone and spoke casually to Ji Lin.

"Think about it carefully, the Xuanyuan Sword was originally a sacred sword that Shenzhou. But now, the heroes who once Shenzhou have chosen to fall, so..."

"It's not surprising that the Holy Sword looks down on you, you self-degrading old man."

Although Lin Yu's tone was very calm and contained no hint of sarcasm, Ji Lin became even angrier because of the other party's incredibly calm tone, which sounded like he was stating a fact.

"You think you can defeat me just by acquiring this worthless thing?!"

At this moment, Ji Lin, whose defenses had been breached, concentrated Honkai Energy in his right hand and shaped it into a giant sword similar to the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Now I'll show you the facts: the gap between us can't be bridged by a piece of junk!"

"Oh dear, you're furious. But in the end, that's quite normal."

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was moving his hands and feet in front of Ji Lin, looked at Ji Lin calmly and assumed a fighting stance.

"In the end, Ji Lin, the hero of Shenzhou, may have already died a heroic death during the thousands of years of suppressing Chiyou."

"And you... are probably just a puppet formed from the negative emotions within her."

"If the person standing in front of me is a true hero of Shenzhou, then I might have respect for him as well as be wary of him."

"But now, before me are no heroes of Shenzhou, only a puppet whose mind and body are controlled by the Honkai. A puppet..."

"—It doesn't seem like it's worth my serious attention."

Enraged by these calm yet sarcastic words, Ji Lin immediately summoned her warhorse.
