Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Even with epic-grade healing magic, it took Ren Tianque four attempts to pull Wang Yi back from the brink of death.

It took five more cycles of life restoration to fully repair Wang Yi's damaged body.

Even without missing any limbs, treating Wang Yi's body was more troublesome than Ren Tianque growing arms and lower body on his own.

On the one hand, Wang Yi's physical body is far superior to Ren Tianque's in normal condition; on the other hand, it also shows how serious Wang Yi's injury was this time.

After their injuries were treated, Wang Yi and Ren Tianque stayed there quietly for two days.

In the past two days, after Wang Yi repaired the partially collapsed Void Realm and re-condensed a Nirvana Seed, he finally felt a sense of security again.

Thinking about it carefully, ever since Wang Yi absorbed Nirvana, almost all of his deaths were either caused by Lin Qingyu or were caused by Lin Qingyu.

In any case, it's all related to Lin Qingyu.

This guy is truly Wang Yi's nemesis.

Seeing that Wang Yi had recovered, Ren Tianque asked:

"Where do we go next? Lin Qingyu won't die at Qinglong's hands, will he?"

Wang Yi shook his head.

"Even we managed to escape, let alone Lin Qingyu, but..."

When Wang Yi first started fleeing for his life, not even daring to raise his head, he was indeed afraid of being caught and killed by the Azure Dragon.

But now, after traveling underground for two days and resting for two days, there has been no movement at all.

Wang Yi felt that he should have already escaped Qinglong's search.

It's not just the Azure Dragon.

Immediately afterwards, an idea took root in Wang Yi's mind, just like wild grass growing.

Could this be an opportunity to escape Lin Qingyu's control?

The magical world is so vast. If they travel underground for a few more days, Lin Qingyu isn't a god. Where else could he find them?

Although the collaboration with Lin Qingyu seemed like a win-win situation with a happy ending, it was based on the premise that everything went smoothly.

But is the Holy Beast Bee Queen really that easy to kill?

Moreover, Wang Yi was the one being coerced.

From the moment Lin Qingyu rejected Wang Yi's proposal and disagreed with Huaxia's intervention, Wang Yi truly understood Lin Qingyu's selfish motives.

Cooperating with such a person is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

"Lin Qingyu has disappeared somewhere, and we didn't agree on a meeting place beforehand."

Ren Tianque had a headache.

Wang Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he reminded him:

"Why should we meet up? Brother Ren, this is a rare opportunity. What do you think? Should we take this chance to shake off Lin Qingyu?"

"what?"

Ren Tianque was slightly taken aback, but his face did not show the same joy as Lin Qingyu's. Instead, he frowned, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Indeed, this is a good opportunity, but..."

Seeing Ren Tianque's hesitant expression, Wang Yi quickly guessed what Ren Tianque was thinking.

Ren Tianque's reluctance to get rid of Lin Qingyu is definitely not because he has opened his heart to Lin Qingyu and is reluctant to part with him, but rather for other purposes.

With their current strength, they can't kill Lin Qingyu. Although Ren Tianque is straightforward, he's not a fool who would throw his life away for revenge.

Therefore, Ren Tianque's dilemma can only be his cooperation with Lin Qingyu.

Clearly, Lin Qingyu's earlier statement that the Sacred Beast Bee Queen was recruiting soldiers and preparing to invade China again was the real reason that made Ren Tianque waver.

So Wang Yi advised:

"Brother Ren, let's put aside whether what Lin Qingyu said before was true or false. Even if it was true, my clone has already brought the intelligence back. I believe the military has already started to work on crisis plans. Besides... China really hasn't fallen to the point where it can only rely on the two of us to protect it."

Wang Yi understood this very well, and he never arrogantly believed that China could not solve its current crisis without him.

Yes, Wang Yi is exceptionally talented, diligent in his cultivation, strong-willed, brave and resolute, possessing a variety of admirable qualities. He is capable, principled, and his behavior is relatively dignified.

With the help of passive divine skills, fighting against opponents of higher levels is as easy as eating and drinking.

Once he truly enters the realm of extraordinary mages, he will likely possess combat power comparable to that of forbidden mages.

But what about it?

China has never relied on any one person to become so powerful.

Of course, some of these brilliant individuals undoubtedly played a crucial role, but that cannot erase the shining qualities of the entire nation.

Otherwise, with only a few strong individuals and a bunch of incompetent subordinates, they would never be able to take off.

Besides, are forbidden mages really that rare in China?

Okay, it is indeed very rare, but it's definitely not to the point that if China loses one forbidden mage, it's doomed.

Leaving aside distant examples, among the forbidden sorcerers in China today, there are those with immense destructive power, such as Xu Shuhe and Marshal Qing Yuanzhong.

Moreover, China possesses far more than just these two forbidden mages.

Not to mention the military also has nine marshals, nearly a hundred extraordinary beings, and a million mages.

Upon hearing Wang Yi's words, Ren Tianque realized that he had been making assumptions.

Sure enough, when it comes to being clear-headed, I am far inferior to Wang Yi.

Moreover, Ren Tianque suddenly realized that if they continued to cooperate, they would have to face the Holy Beast Bee Queen, which was Wang Yi.

Ren Tianque's insistence on this so-called cooperation is nothing short of being generous with other people's money while disregarding Wang Yi's life and death.

Ren Tianque did not believe he could withstand the mind invasion of the Holy Beast Bee King. If he were to fight the Holy Beast Bee King, he could at most help Wang Yi clean up the Holy Beast Bee King's minions from the outside.

Otherwise, in a single encounter, he could very well be controlled by the Holy Beast Bee Queen and turned into a puppet, who would then turn against Wang Yi.

If Wang Yi kills him, he won't know whether to kill him or not. Wouldn't that be more of a hindrance than a help?

"Brother Wang, you're right. I was blinded by greed."

Ren Tianque felt ashamed and gave a wry smile: "You should be the one using your brain. I'm just making things more complicated."

"Don't say that. As the saying goes, 'If you only believe one side, you will be in the dark; if you listen to both sides, you will be enlightened.' Actually, my brain isn't much better. If you only listen to me, you can easily end up in a dead end."

Wang Yi cast his gaze at the seemingly endless river and said softly.

In truth, Wang Yi wasn't sure whether his desire to get rid of Lin Qingyu stemmed from his trust in the strength of the Chinese military, or from his fear of facing the Holy Beast Queen Bee after witnessing the power of the Azure Dragon.

Perhaps it's a combination of both.

Wang Yi gave a bitter smile to his heart.

Even though he still has a clone in China, he still doesn't have the courage to risk his life unless he's forced into a desperate situation.

Human nature.
