In theory, if the three of them ran separately, the success rate would naturally be the highest.
However, the Man in Black did the exact opposite and chased after one of his companions. His purpose was self-evident.
From the Man in Black's perspective, if the three of them split up, Lin Yi would definitely go after him. After all, he was the one who had been targeting Lin Yi.
That would make it look like the Man in Black was luring Lin Yi away while the other two were running for their lives-he wouldn't do something that would benefit others and harm himself.
The Man in Black was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he'd left his pursuers behind. This was the same as drawing the trouble to Lin Yi-Lin Yi would most likely deal with the people behind him first, giving the Man in Black a chance to escape.
"It's a pity about these five Rings!"
Lin Yi shook his head and walked out from the dust.
