Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Chapter 435 Refusing to Help

Most of the elders and teachers chased after Ye Qingshuang, leaving the head of the guards with no choice but to lead the others to attack Ling Yi.

Seeing the attack, a cold glint flashed in Ling's eyes. She never intended to use the spirit-eating insects to kill them; she wanted to take matters into her own hands. The spirit-eating insects were merely a way for her to increase their hatred.

As the crowd approached, Ling Yi drew his bone knife and charged forward.

This is Ling Yi's second action since leaving the Taiyuan Secret Realm. The first action was against the Xu family, but the Xu family members were no match for the carefully cultivated imperial experts.

The people from the academy are powerful, and their attacks are always aimed at killing.

The people of the academy were like this, and so was Ling Yi. Every strike he made with the bone knife was full of killing intent. Such obvious and intense killing intent was frightening and made the teachers and elders, who considered themselves stronger than Ling Yi, dare not take it lightly.

They were right not to be complacent. After several encounters, the teachers and elders discovered that Ling Yi's true strength was far greater than what they had glimpsed.

Moreover, Ling Yi's spiritual roots were all mutated spiritual roots. The power of mutated spiritual roots is stronger than that of normal spiritual roots. Furthermore, Ling Yi's moves were endless and numerous, making it difficult for people to defend themselves. Soon, one person was entangled by Ling Yi's ice chains.

After the ice chains entangled the person, Ling Yi raised the bone knife in his hand high. The sunlight shone on it, making it gleam blindingly. The next instant, the bone knife fell, and with a soft thud, the head was separated from the body.

After eliminating the person, Ling Yi swiftly retracted the ice chains and turned to attack the others.

Seeing that Ling Yi was still able to deal with them even when surrounded, the elder of the guard's face turned extremely ugly, and he quickly signaled to the people around him to call the others back.

Upon hearing this, those around immediately called back the teachers and elders who were chasing Ye Qingshuang. After they returned, they immediately attacked Ling Yi.

In an instant, various spiritual lights flashed.

Ye Qingshuang returned to Bai Qingjue and the others with the jar in her arms, sighed as she looked at the battle ahead, and said, "If Ling Yi hadn't forbade it, I would definitely have helped."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingjue looked at her and asked, "Why won't Ling Yi ask for help?"

Ye Qingshuang shook her head: "I don't know."

She genuinely didn't know about this, and had asked Ling Yi privately, but Ling Yi didn't give a direct answer. Seeing that Ling Yi didn't want to talk about it, she stopped asking.

Unable to get an answer, Bai Qingjue didn't say anything more. The group stood at the edge of the barrier, watching quietly.

At the center of the battle, various spiritual lights flickered, but when a patch of blood-red flames appeared, the surrounding spiritual lights instantly dimmed.

The flames spread rapidly from Ling Yi's center.

Seeing this, the academy's experts hurriedly mobilized their spiritual power to protect themselves and try to isolate themselves from the flames. However, the power of the Earth Fire Spiritual Source was far stronger than that of ordinary spiritual roots. To resist the burning flames, they needed to mobilize even more power to protect themselves.

They needed to protect themselves while also attacking. The students realized that Ling Yi was trying to deplete their strength!

"Fool." The elder of the guard thought he had seen through Ling Yi's thoughts and sneered. He said to the people around him, "She can indeed deplete our strength, but in doing so, her own strength will also be depleted. Once her strength is almost depleted, we can make our move and take her down in one fell swoop."

Those around her said cautiously, "She must have a backup plan for using her power like that. We shouldn't let our guard down."

"So what if we have a backup plan?" The elder of the guardhouse said indifferently, "Isn't the backup plan just a Spirit Recovery Pill?"

"Do they have as many pills as the academy does?"

"This..." The person beside him said this only to remind the elder of the guards not to be careless, but he was rebuked and fell silent.

"Have the others hold out," the elder of the guard said. "Once the flames subside, we'll begin our counterattack."

Those nearby were about to speak when a figure swiftly approached: "Elder, look..."

A white light appeared in the crimson flames. Upon seeing the white light, both elders were startled and instinctively tried to dodge. But at that moment, time seemed to slow down, and their movements also slowed down.

"puff"

Ling appeared in front of the two, holding a bone knife, and slashed directly at the Grand Elder.

Seeing the bone knife coming at him, the Grand Elder used all his strength to swerve to the side, barely avoiding it. The bone knife pierced his shoulder, and the Grand Elder groaned as he raised his hand to strike at Ling Yi.

The moment the First Elder made his move, the other Elder reacted and attacked Ling Yi at the same time.

Seeing the two attacking, Ling Yi released the bone knife and teleported away from them. At the same time, several wisps of black mist flew out from Ling Yi's body and enveloped the two.
