If this was outside, a 3rd level Arterial Circulation Realm martial artist could be considered an expert. Even in a smaller city, he might be able to support a family and become the pillar of the family!

For example, the father of Lin Cheng's current body, the head of the Lin Clan, Lin Hu. Not only was he a cultivator at the Arterial Circulation Realm, but he was one of the top experts in the entire Dongluo City. This allowed the Lin Clan to become a large clan in the entire city.

But here, the Pulse Wheel Stage cultivator was like a cow waiting to be slaughtered. He was actually forced to die by Shui Ang like that — even though it was an honorific for the academy, facing this bone-piercing cold pond, it made them, who had the lowest cultivation level, go first. What was the difference between this and suicide?

Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. This woman had a heart as vicious as a scorpion's.

He couldn't help but sneer. Shui Ani was so cold-blooded and ungrateful that even if he didn't do anything to her, she wouldn't have a good ending.

However, Lin Cheng had to admit that although this woman was vicious and seemingly crazy, she was not a coward. This could be seen from the fact that she, an elder, dared to descend into the deep valley of the Forbidden Land of Boundless.

"Fortunately, he's here!"

A cold light flashed across Lin Cheng's eyes as his heart was filled with killing intent.

As a human master, not only do you not protect your own disciples, you force them together with others. In the end, you make Zhu Ziyang jump off the cliff, and with such a vicious and merciless heart, this kind of woman's life is a disaster for those who are weak!

Originally, I had planned to use blue fire to lure them down here and wait for an opportunity to kill them. However, I did not expect that Shui Yang's courage would not be considered small!

"Since that's the case, there's nothing left to say. Shui Ani, you must die!"

Killing intent surged in Lin Cheng's heart, as resolution flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't act rashly. Instead, he quietly left his hiding place and tried his best to avoid the others' line of sight as he headed towards the cold pond.

At this moment, the cold voice of Shui Ani sounded out once again, "Now, all students below the fourth level of the Body River stage, come forward."

At this moment, many people's faces had turned pale and there was even a faint disturbance.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that more than half of the students were retreating. Lin Cheng could not help but frown, from this, it could be seen that at least half of the students were at least at the fourth level of the Body Reaching Realm, which was much higher than his first level of the Body Reaching Realm.

Most importantly, there were still nearly half of the remaining students, and they were all at least at the fourth level of the Flowing Light Body. And there was still one cultivator, Shui Yi; it would be extremely difficult to snatch the azure fire right under their noses.

This made Lin City even more vigilant and careful.

When Shui Ani once again killed the three students who wanted to escape, and directly arrived at the back of the crowd, blocking off their escape route, the fourth level of the Body Reaching Realm students could only brace themselves and try to pick the blue flames.

The first student to try touched the stone in the middle of the pool, but he did not climb up. Instead, he fell into the pool and became an ice sculpture.

The next one was the second one.

The third.

Fourth...

When the sixth student finally managed to climb up to the top of the boulder, even from a distance, one could clearly see the elation and excitement on his face from having survived a disaster.

"Hurry and pick the azure fire, use the jade bottle!" Shui Ani shouted with a quivering voice. Greed appeared in his cold eyes.

The student immediately took out a jade bottle from his bosom. His hands were trembling as he extended it towards the blue flame on the stone.

"Pfft!"

As soon as the jade bottle came into contact with the azure fire, the azure fire suddenly jumped. In an instant, the student's hand that was holding the jade bottle began to burn.

Ah!

Along with a mournful scream, the student was instantly engulfed in flames. After a few breaths, he was actually burnt to ashes and fell into the cold pond.

Everyone's face was deathly pale, and their eyes were filled with fear.

Shui Ani's face was livid. She had never thought that dozens of students would have to die to survive the cold pond and climb the rocks in the middle of the cold pond. Yet, there was such an unexpected event when they were collecting the blue fire!

Just by looking at the slight throbbing of the azure fire, a student was instantly burnt to ashes. One could tell how terrifying the azure fire was!

"Go up again!"

Anise gritted her teeth and said in a cold tone.

"Seventh Elder, this is too scary. Our cultivation base is too shallow, it's not even enough to get our hands on the azure fire!" A student pleaded.

"Yes, Seventh Elder, the Junior Brothers and Sisters that were sacrificed earlier, their corpses are in the cold pond, enough for others to pass through. But this cyan fire is too scary, it's not something we, mere fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm, can take!"

"Patriarch Seven is a cultivator at the Danhai Realm, he is far from what us little warriors can compare with. Patriarch Seven, please help us!"

"That's right!" "Patriarch Seven, please help!"

Everyone started shouting, cupped their fists and said to Shui Ang.

"Impudent!"

Suddenly, everyone stopped talking. All of them looked at Shui Yang with vigilance and panic, but no one dared to say anything.

Facing a cultivator, that kind of silent pressure was enough to make them unable to breathe. Even though Shui Ani did not release that kind of pressure, the fear towards the elders that he had developed in the academy for a long time was deeply ingrained in their bones.

If they hadn't been forced into a corner just now, they would never have dared to ask Shui Ani for help.

Now, with Shui Ani's shout, everyone became frightened.

Shui Qi's face was livid as he said in a stern voice: "Are you trying to force the palace? You think you can just leave the East Continent Academy and not put me, your elder, in your eyes? "

Everyone was silent. Some of them even lowered their heads in fear when they saw Shui Ani's gaze sweeping over them.

"Do you think this elder is sending you to your deaths? This is ridiculous, it's short-sighted! " Shui Ani said harshly, "I am investigating!" During your process of collecting the Blue Flames, some clues and problems will be exposed. If not for the sacrifices of the previous students, how would you have had the chance to get so close to the Blue Flames? "

"Right now, I can't get any Azure Fire because I still don't have enough experience. As long as I try a few more times, I will definitely succeed!"

"If you guys are really weak, then I am sure that I can succeed in one fell swoop if I make another move. All of this is due to your contributions!"

"To be so cowardly and afraid of death, he is not worthy of being a martial artist, much less a cultivator!"

"Now, continue!"

Everyone's heart sank as soon as he finished speaking. He had blocked their way, so it would be difficult for them to escape, not to mention that Shui Ani was a cultivator. It was no different from courting death if they wanted to escape from him!

"The next student, exchange for a bigger jade bottle, go!" Shui Ani's voice made everyone tremble, and the student who was in the turn fell to the ground. However, in the end, he could only brace himself and charge under the gaze of the crowd.

In the end, it still turned into a pile of ashes.

One.

Two.

Three.

Very quickly, another ten students were burned to ashes. The azure flame on the stone was still pulsing, and it was shockingly beautiful.

At this moment, the remaining students had already given up all hope.

Even if it was possible, they had never learned how to obtain this kind of Heaven and Earth Primordial Flame. They were completely at a loss on what to do, and did not know what to do, only death awaited them.

"This is forcing us to die!"

Suddenly, a voice from the crowd shouted, "Shui Ani is afraid of death as an elder. He wants us students to go and collect the blue fire. He is obviously not treating us as human beings!"

The moment this voice was heard, everyone was stunned for a moment before revealing expressions!

Shui Ani's face turned cold, "Impudent!" "Who's talking nonsense!"

"Everyone run away. Even if we were to go back and get punished, the academy would not kill us. But if we stay here, we'll all be forced to death by Shui Ani one by one!" The voice sounded again.

At this moment, the crowd gradually became restless. None of them wanted to die here. Because of the blue flames, they couldn't see any substantial benefits. Although Shui Ni had promised them that they could join the cultivation sects, they knew very well that they couldn't join without reaching the Danhai Realm.

Looking at the restless crowd, Shui Ani's face turned green and he said in a stern voice, "Bastard!" "Who said that, stand forward!"

"Shui Yi, you are not worthy of being an elder at all. If you truly want to help us, then go and collect the blue flames yourself! We have sacrificed so many seniors and brothers to pave the way for us, so our mission has been completed! "

"Everyone, don't be afraid. If we escape, even if the academy wanted to punish us, would it be able to kill us all?" "At that time, the only one who will be punished will be Shui Ani!"

Swish!

Shui Ang could no longer hold it in. He suddenly stepped forward, held his sword and rushed into the crowd, saying harshly, "I will kill you!"

However, the voice shouted again when Shui Ang moved, "Shui Ani, get out of the way! Run!"

"Hua!"

In the next moment, everyone began to flee.

It was because of Shui Ani that they did not dare to escape. However, now that Shui Ani had moved, they opened up a path to return. Nobody wanted to stay and throw their lives away because of that voice.

The thousands of academies began to retreat, like a horde of raging beasts.

Shui Ani almost vomited blood in anger when he saw this. He raised his hand to slay several people. However, this only made the students more frenzied and frightened, and made them flee even faster.
