Chapter 3562: Chapter 3554: Lin Yi’s Scheme
"That’s not much of a compliment."
Lin Yi smiled, taking a step back.
He created a bit of distance and threw a whip kick at Kidd.
The latter raised his elbow to block.
Easily deflecting Lin Yi’s attack.
But his expression was very serious.
Not as relaxed as before.
Initially, he planned to stay here.
Because he had absolute confidence.
Even without anyone else, with his own skills, he thought he could keep the entire team here without a problem.
But now.
Things weren’t going quite as he imagined.
The kid’s progress was too fast.
He really could hold him off for quite some time.
In such a short time, the remaining people were the key factors.
Kidd couldn’t hide a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He lunged forward, kicking Lin Yi straight in the chest.
Lin Yi staggered back several steps before steadying himself.
"It’s been such a short time since we last met, but you’ve improved so much."
"This is just the beginning."
Despite being kicked, Lin Yi charged again.
Kidd had anticipated this move.
He sidestepped, dodging Lin Yi’s attack.
But the next second, as he was about to counterattack, he found Lin Yi retreating earlier than expected.
This wasn’t a prediction.
It felt more like a premeditated scene.
But this scene wasn’t targeting him.
In the next second, Kidd understood!
Lin Yi pulled out a gun!
Aimed at one of the members of Mammon.
In the blink of an eye, he pulled the trigger before anyone could react!
At this moment, Sui Qiang was the one engaging the opponent!
Even he hadn’t expected it.
Lin Yi could come up with such a method.
This maneuver left the opponent no time to react!
A bullet pierced through his head!
Kidd’s heart skipped a beat.
Now he understood Lin Yi’s plan.
He hadn’t acted just to stall Kidd.
He used him as a shield!
Making others mistakenly believe that he was preoccupied with their fight!
This guy was constantly calculating.
With one person down, the scales of victory tipped.
Sui Qiang was freed up on Team One’s side.
The situation had shifted dramatically!
Kidd chuckled.
His eyes revealing a hint of gloom.
Feeling utilized like this left him very displeased.
Feet hit the ground!
Kidd took the initiative!
In the blink of an eye, he closed in on Lin Yi!
At this moment, Lin Yi dared not be neglectful.
In just a few seconds, they’d exchanged more than a dozen moves.
Clearly, under Kidd’s assault, Lin Yi was at a disadvantage.
He still wasn’t Kidd’s match.
"Boss, I’m here!"
Originally, Sui Qiang intended to help Yu Siying.
But seeing Lin Yi at a disadvantage, he rushed toward him.
"No need!"
Lin Yi said softly:
"Go help the others, I can stall him."
"But!"
"Quickly!"
Lin Yi panted heavily.
Kidd’s strength was beyond his expectation.
Yet before Team One could deal with the others, he was confident he could stall Kidd!
This was the only opportunity!
"The plan is good."
Kidd said, flexing his wrists:
"But you’re definitely not getting away."
"That’s not necessarily true."
Lin Yi’s mouth curled into a chilling smile.
Despite being at a disadvantage, he still took the initiative.
No fancy moves, just solid hits.
Lin Yi’s fighting skills and bones had been systematically enhanced.
Compared to Kidd, he was neither weak nor outmatched.
They stuck close, engaging in brute force.
This had further narrowed the gap between the two.
Though he couldn’t win, stalling him wasn’t a problem.
Meanwhile, Sui Qiang was freed up.
The battle shifted dramatically on both sides.
He swiftly helped Yu Siying defeat the opponent.
The two freed up then assisted Xiao Bing and Luo Qi in taking down their foes.
Everything was completed in a flash, without wasting any time.
In just a few minutes, Mammon and Anglo’s riffraff were all taken care of.
The only remaining enemy was Kidd.
Team One surrounded Kidd with knives in hand.
Kidd looked at everyone around him, then at Lin Yi.
He quickly understood the situation before him.
There wasn’t a stark gap between him and Lin Yi.
With so many standing guard, if they attacked together, he’d gain no advantage.
Defeat was just a matter of time.
Engaging again was definitely not the wise choice.
"Do we continue fighting?"
Kidd shrugged.
"Even if we don’t fight, you won’t be able to leave this forest."
"No one can trap me."
Kidd made a gesture of invitation.
"I lost the first round, now let’s start the second."
"Thanks."
"But I have a small request."
"Speak."
"If you’re really left with no options, remember to give me the item, and I’ll give you a way out," Kidd said with a smile:
"If you die at the hands of those trash, I’d be saddened."
"No problem."
Lin Yi took out a compressed biscuit.
"This is for you, eat up to have strength as my opponent."
"Okay."
Lin Yi waved his hand.
"Withdraw!"
Team One cautiously watched Kidd and retreated to Lin Yi’s side.
Then slowly retreated into the woods.
"Boss, can this person be trusted?"
"He can be, at least within the scope of his abilities, he can be trusted."
Lin Yi said with a smile:
"But at this point, there aren’t many options left anyway."
"Haha, that’s true."
Team One began retreating deeper into the jungle.
There were cover everywhere, where they could hide well.
But advantages and disadvantages coexist.
The enemy could also hide their tracks.
At this moment, a random bullet could be deadly.
"Boss, should we retreat to the edge now? Or find a place to wait for others’ support?"
"Support likely won’t help."
Lin Yi said cautiously:
"Kidd, Alvis, Hops, these are A-level top experts, even if Flame Dragon’s people came, they might not resolve the situation, we’ll have to find an opportunity ourselves to break through."
Scanning around, he found everything silent.
"Increase speed, sprint with all energy."
Now it was a race against the enemy.
As long as they had enough speed, they could create a time difference.
"Right now, the closest road is about nine kilometers away," Xiao Bing said softly:
"About an hour should do."
"The road is no good, they’re definitely watching there."
Lin Yi whispered:
"Find a less conspicuous place."
"I had thought about this situation, Kidd is a smart person, I’m worried he’s thought of the same."
"We’ll look for places where people gather and terrain is complex."
Lin Yi observed his surroundings while speaking:
"But by ’people’, I don’t mean our enemies, I mean normal people, using them as cover for escape."
"Understood."
