Seeing that Lao Jiu had not fled, Lin Yuan gave a slight inward nod.
Although Lao Jiu was weaker than the Deputy City Lord, he could still hold out for a while. His combat strength should have been around Commander level.
Considering that Lao Jiu's survivability far surpassed a Commander's, and that, as the mastermind, he surely had trump cards of his own, he should not have been much weaker than Lin Yuan was now.
That level of strength was just right for Lin Yuan: enough to help him fight the Deputy City Lord, but not enough for Lin Yuan to fear him turning hostile after they defeated the Deputy City Lord.
Still, if he dares to stay and isn't afraid I'll turn on him after the battle, he probably has some substantial trump cards besides his confidence in his incredible survivability.
Lin Yuan pondered this.
His survivability did not worry Lin Yuan. Lao Jiu's nature was similar to that of the Crawlers, and his survivability could not compare to a Genuine Chaos Monster's. It amounted to nothing before Lin Yuan.
But not knowing what Lao Jiu's trump cards were put Lin Yuan somewhat on his guard.
And why is he so fixated on the Dragon Ancestral Land? What does he need from inside it?
As Lin Yuan thought, his hands never stopped moving. Together with Lao Jiu, he unleashed attack after attack, barely fighting the Deputy City Lord to a standstill.
In fact, if Lin Yuan used his full strength and Lao Jiu cooperated, they could have suppressed the Deputy City Lord.
But under these circumstances, who would dare go all out?
They might suffer a vicious backstab the very next moment after winning.
Thus, without discussing it, both Lin Yuan and Lao Jiu held some strength in reserve,
