161: Chapter 161 One Against Nine

Lin Yi sighed lightly.

He knew it would be difficult to make Shen Yaqi believe his claims right now.

After all, to Shen Yaqi, he was just a stranger who had suddenly appeared.

He had no proof, and he had just clashed with her bodyguards.

"Miss Shen, there are kidnappers ahead."

"You are their target."

"These bodyguards of yours have already been bought off."

"I know it's hard for you to accept what I'm saying right now."

"But I am not asking for your opinion."

"I am simply informing you that none of you can pass through here today!"

"You just need to wait here for a moment until I notify people to come over."

"Once those kidnappers are caught."

"You will naturally know that everything I said is true."

Lin Yi applied a little force, directly twisting that bodyguard's arm into a pretzel.

Then, he pushed the poor wretch, who was wailing in pain, to the side.

Shen Yaqi glared at Lin Yi, looking vigilant.

"Who are you? How do you know my surname is Shen?"

Lin Yi thought, "Oh no."

In his haste, he had spoken too quickly and blurted out the information he had seen on the system panel...

He had forgotten that, according to normal human logic, it was impossible for him to know Shen Yaqi's name.

The female assistant beside Shen Yaqi immediately blocked her way.

"Ms. Shen, I think this person is the kidnapper!"

"He knows your name, so he is clearly prepared!"

"It is possible that his accomplices are already on their way."

"He isn't letting you go forward, which means the path ahead is likely safe."

"Run ahead quickly, we will stop him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining nine bodyguards surrounded him.

The assistant seized the opportunity, grabbed Shen Yaqi's wrist, and pulled her to run forward desperately.

By comparison, Shen Yaqi was certainly more likely to believe her assistant's words.

After all, this assistant had been with her for three years.

Lin Yi rubbed his head, speechless.

For now, he could only deal with these bodyguards before chasing after them.

The bodyguards surrounded Lin Yi, each pulling daggers from their waists.

There were still dark red bloodstains in the blood grooves of the daggers.

Lin Yi concluded that the identities of these bodyguards were definitely not ordinary.

"Ding, danger detected by the host."

"The opponent's average physical fitness level is 5."

"Calculating win rate..."

"Ding, calculation successful, 95% win rate!"

Lin Yi loosened his shoulders.

He hadn't expected that even with a maxed-out physical fitness level, he couldn't guarantee a 100% win rate when facing such dangers.

It seemed he would need to think about other ways to protect himself in the future.

He couldn't rely too heavily on his own physical fitness level.

"Come at me together, I'm in a hurry."

Lin Yi stood quietly in the center of the group, his gaze cold and sharp, like a leopard ready to pounce.

His posture was upright, exuding a powerful aura that made people afraid to approach him easily.

The nine bodyguards exchanged glances; they judged from Lin Yi's fearless eyes and aura that he was definitely no ordinary person.

They held their daggers in reverse grips and slowly approached Lin Yi.

Suddenly, a bodyguard on Lin Yi's left launched the first attack.

He was agile, moving like lightning as he struck at Lin Yi.

The dagger in his hand thrust straight toward Lin Yi's throat.

Lin Yi's eyes sharpened, and he dodged sideways.

He easily avoided this fatal strike.

At the same time, Lin Yi's right hand shot out, precisely clamping onto the bodyguard's wrist.

Then, he twisted it with force.

With a "crack," the sound rang out.

The wrist broke instantly, and the dagger slipped to the ground.

The bodyguard let out a painful scream.

But Lin Yi didn't give him any chance to catch his breath; he flew into the air and kicked the bodyguard hard in the chest, sending him flying backward.

The other bodyguards became alert as they saw their companion instantly defeated.

But they did not retreat; instead, they lunged at Lin Yi even more crazily.

Two people rushed from the front, two others flanked from the rear.

Four more attacked from the sides.

They coordinated well, clearly well-trained.

Lin Yi was fearless, moving like a ghost.

Facing the two rushing from the front, Lin Yi took a sliding step and passed between them.

At the same time, he grabbed their arms and pulled hard.

The two lost their balance and slammed into each other.

Lin Yi seized the opportunity to turn around and delivered a beautiful spinning side kick to one of their backs.

He kicked that person into the two flanking from behind.

The two in the back couldn't dodge in time and were knocked to the ground.

The four on the sides saw this and accelerated their attack.

Waving their daggers, every strike was lethal.

Lin Yi's eyes were as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.

He dodged the dagger attacks nimbly, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Finally, one bodyguard exposed a weakness.

Lin Yi seized the moment and landed a heavy punch directly on his face.

The face has the most densely distributed nerves; when fighting, attacking the opponent's nose is the most painful.

Lin Yi had fought plenty of times with the kids at the orphanage when he was young, so he knew this all too well.

The bodyguard took Lin Yi's punch squarely and was instantly dizzy.

Lin Yi took the opportunity to snatch his dagger, then threw him to the ground with a shoulder throw.

With the dagger in hand, Lin Yi was like a tiger with wings, taking the initiative to attack the remaining bodyguards.

One bodyguard attempted to sneak attack Lin Yi from behind, but it was as if Lin Yi had eyes on the back of his head.

Just as the bodyguard's dagger was about to pierce him, Lin Yi turned around and blocked the attack with his own dagger.

Then, he kicked the bodyguard hard in the abdomen.

He sent him flying away.

As the fight progressed, the bodyguards gradually fell into despair.

They realized that no matter how they attacked, they couldn't hurt Lin Yi at all.

Yet, Lin Yi could always deliver the most fatal blows at critical moments.

Finally, only one bodyguard was left standing.

His eyes were filled with fear.

However, he still didn't give up resisting.

He gripped his dagger tightly and rushed toward Lin Yi, trembling.

Lin Yi looked at him coldly, without dodging at all.

Until the bodyguard was closest, Lin Yi bent down and turned behind him like lightning.

He used his arm to tightly lock the bodyguard's neck in a chokehold.

"It's over."

Lin Yi's voice was cold and resolute.

As he applied a little force with his arm, the last bodyguard also passed out from lack of oxygen.

After resolving these nine people, Lin Yi hurriedly chased in the direction Shen Yaqi had left.

Fortunately, these nine bodyguards hadn't delayed Lin Yi for too long.

Before long, Lin Yi caught up with Shen Yaqi and her assistant.

"You can't run away!"

Lin Yi stared coldly at Shen Yaqi's assistant.

Shen Yaqi, however, was pale with fright, thinking Lin Yi was talking to her.

"Don't come over!"

"I can give you money! I can give you lots and lots of money!"

Just as Shen Yaqi was shouting, several malicious figures emerged from the woods nearby.

They were exactly the kidnappers from Thailand that Lin Yi had encountered last night.

In Shen Yaqi's terrified eyes, she saw her own female assistant standing with those kidnappers with a smile.

"I've brought her to you."

"But there's a problem right now."

The female assistant pointed at the standing Lin Yi.

"You need to take care of this guy too."
