"If the skin is gone, where can the hair cling?"
Lin Bai wrapped things up with that final question, then sent everyone away, including Jiang Qingqin, who had wanted to stay and keep him company.
He had sounded perfectly reasonable while reassuring everyone, but only he knew how enormous the problem facing him was. His current skills were not enough to deal with this crisis.
He put the noisy Daoist Void and Pei Yanzong into his Card.
Now, only True Person Li, Jian Shijiu, and Sword Immortal Cangming remained beside Lin Bai—three Spirit Transformation Realm experts lost in a mindless haze.
Inside the quiet hall.
Lin Bai quietly sorted through his current tasks.
The Mahayana Realm's reputation was so overwhelming that He Qin and the others had overlooked the fact that those Mahayana Realm experts were also bringing a large contingent of Void Insight Realm experts, along with who knew how many Spirit Transformation Realm experts drawn by the Righteous and Demonic Execution Order.
Against enemies this powerful, meeting force with force was no different from courting death. Lin Bai had never fought anyone in the Void Insight Realm, but Moon Chase probably would not restrain them as effectively as it did Spirit Transformation Realm experts.
The harder someone resisted, the faster Moon Chase became. With a Void Insight Realm expert's strength, they might shoot into the sky the instant Moon Chase was used on them, then have their hands free to strike back.
Before calculating victory, calculate defeat!
Lin Bai never underestimated anyone. To defeat his enemies, he still had to rely on system skills.
