Yin Xu squinted his eyes slightly. According to the information he meticulously gathered these years, Lin Canghai was regarded as the first expert on the Northern Continent. His true strength remained mysterious, but no matter how Yin Xu looked at it, Lin Canghai was nothing but a peak Monarch.
? Moreover, Lin Canghai was a ruthless and intelligent person. It was impossible for him to come here and fight blindly despite knowing there were two Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm experts beside him… What was his trump card?
"You go first." Yin Xu glanced at Gu Yi and said calmly.
Gu Yi was stunned. "But I am not his opponent."
Yin Xu's eyes turned cold. "Do you really want me to repeat it?"
Gu Yi shuddered. He didn't dare to say anymore and strode forward while summoning a huge blue cauldron.
"Go!" Gu Yi waved his hand and sent the cauldron toward Lin Canghai.
The latter merely glanced at it and slapped his palm toward the incoming cauldron. His movement looked ordinary as if he didn't use any profound energy.
Bang!
A deafening sound rang out, and the blue cauldron immediately cracked. The connection between Gu Yi and the cauldron had been severed, causing him to suffer a backlash and cough out blood.
Gu Yi's face turned pale. His eyes widened in disbelief. Although he wasn't Lin Canghai's opponent in the first place, he didn't think he would lose in an instant like this.
Yin Xu's eyes narrowed. "Sure enough. Looks like everyone has been fooled by you for all these years." He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice. "You have long stepped into the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm. This is truly surprising."
Even though Lin Canghai didn't show his aura, with Yin Xu's sharp perception, he could vaguely guess Lin Canghai's strength.
The expressions of Peng Haoye and the others changed drastically… How could it be possible?
Lin Taixu and the academy elders were no exception. They looked at Lin Canghai in awe. It was clearly unexpected.
Lin Canghai didn't say anything. He merely glanced at the two skinny men and waited for them to make a move.
Yin Xu thought for a moment and said calmly. "Kill him. No need to be reserved."
The two skinny men turned into snake-like shadows and shot toward Lin Canghai. Their speed was even faster than before. It was as though they had teleported.
A white light glowed within Lin Canghai's eyes. He stretched his hands out slowly, and a snapping sound could be heard in the next moment.
Snap!
Under everyone's disbelieving gaze, Lin Canghai calmly held the necks of the skinny men. The aura he displayed earlier was like a calm lake but powerful as a tsunami. In that instant, Yin Xu immediately realized Lin Canghai's actual realm was the sixth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm!
"Hii—" The two skinny men struggled to get rid of Lin Canghai's hold, but it was futile. Their entire body seemed to be sealed with an invisible force, making them unable to utilize their Abyssal Energy.
Suddenly, a brilliant white light flashed, and the two skinny men immediately let out a shrill scream as their bodies began to burn by strange white flames.
In a span of three seconds, the two skinny men were turned into nothingness—not even a single trace of ash was left behind.
The scene happened too fast. Everyone in the scene stared blankly at Lin Canghai as they couldn't comprehend the situation.
Yin Xu's heart turned cold upon seeing this scene. He had utterly miscalculated this time.
Without further ado, his figure flashed and reappeared in the distance before turning around, fleeing without looking back. His speed was terrifying fast, unlike anything that a monarch like him could display. Obviously, he had used a secret technique.
Unexpectedly, Lin Canghai didn't chase after Yin Xu. He glanced at him briefly and turned to Peng Haoye. "A scourge like you who eats inside out should be eradicated."
Peng Haoye shuddered. His face turned pale immediately. So did Peng Huang and the others.
Before they could react, they saw white light flash, and the entire space was instantly filled with boundless pressure, ultimately confining everyone in the place.
At this moment, Gu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said. "Please spare me, Patriarch Lin. I have been forced to do this!"
"That's right! We have been forced. You can blame us!" One after another, those who chose to betray the academy quickly followed suit. They believed that as long as they sincerely repented, Lin Canghai would definitely forgive them. As for whatever punishment they would receive later? Was there anything they should be afraid of more than death?
Lin Taixu snorted. "Do you all take us as a fool!? Do you think we will forgive you after everything you have done!?"
"Cough! Hehehe… Didn't you say a good bird knew how to choose a good tree earlier? What now?" Nangong Xi coughed up a mouthful of blood and sneered at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi's face alternated between red and blue. He didn't expect the slap would come this soon.
While everyone was arguing, Lin Canghai suddenly said. "I can spare your life."
Gu Yi and the others raised their heads with a glimmer of hope… Sure enough. This Lin Canghai didn't dare to kill us!
However, Lin Canghai's following sentence immediately made everyone shudder.
"Simple. All of you need to kill each other, and I will spare the winner's life."
The surrounding temperature dropped instantly. The bodies of Gu Yi and the others turned cold.
"You… how could you do this!… Argh!" While Gu Yi was angrily speaking, a burst of aura came from behind, and his body flew away with a bloody hole in his chest.
In that instant, the scene fell into chaos. Everyone started killing each other without thinking.
Peng Haoye and his clan members retreated to the distance, looking at the scene with ashen expressions.
"These idiots! They don't even know that they have been fooled by Lin Canghai." Peng Huang cursed.
"What should we do, grandfather?" Pen Zheng frowned deeply.
Peng Haoye took a deep breath and was about to say something. Suddenly, a brilliant golden light burst out of the center of Sky Peak and shot into the sky, transforming into a giant golden dome.
Lin Canghai's brows raised slightly as he glanced at the dome. Tian Gouwei had obviously activated the Profound Sky Divine Formation, indicating something big must happen!
