As for the Qin clan higher-ups who were watching, although they did not suffer any internal injuries from the shock, each and every one of their faces were covered in dust.
In just one exchange, the gap between the two sides had been completely widened.
Even the dullest higher-ups of the Qin clan had already begun to realize that this newly-promoted King hai was definitely not someone they could touch casually. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in their hearts.
If they had followed their original plan to provoke the other party, some of them would have died without even knowing how they died.
After all, the high priest would not appear for them.
"Interesting!"
The high priest looked at Lin Yi in surprise. Not only did Lin Yi take a casual attack from him, but he also took his fated sword head-on. This was far beyond his understanding.
As far as he knew, even the best of the younger generation in the entire sea realm, who had already reached the middle phase of the Golden class venerable realm, couldn't take it!
"Then take another strike from me!"
The head exalt's interest was piqued, but Lin Yi's demon devouring sword had already drawn a strange arc, aiming for his throat before he could make a move.
Everyone was speechless.
From what they knew, it was already a great feat to be able to take two moves from an existence like the high priest. Even if there were no injuries on the surface, they must have paid a huge price on the inside.
Perhaps Lin Yi would collapse on his own after this.
Who would have thought that not only did he not show any signs of internal injury, but he could actually turn the tables and launch an attack? it was simply unimaginable!
What was even more shocking was that when Lin Yi's sword landed, the head exalt's body shook and froze on the spot.
It was obvious that his primordial spirit had suffered some kind of intense impact!
Taking advantage of this opening, the demonic devouring sword directly pierced through the high priest's throat in front of everyone, and the entire place instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The high priest had been killed by a single sword strike?
Qin Yitong, who was being stepped on, had his eyes popping out. The reason why he could sit firmly on the position of successor, other than the support of his father, Qin Kaiyun, was because he had obtained the recognition of this head deacon.
The reason was simple. His birth mother and the high priest were of the same race and blood-related.
Otherwise, with the head Deacon's personality, even if he was the publicly acknowledged successor to the family head, he probably wouldn't even look at him.
This could be said to be his final trump card!
As far as he was concerned, as long as the head exalt made a move, taking down a Lin Yi was a piece of cake. As long as he didn't kill this hai hai Wang in front of everyone and embarrass the sea god Hall, the Qin family would support him to the end even if he had to cripple Lin Yi.
It was impossible for the sea goddess Hall to start a war with the Qin family of the fifth royal family over a cripple in these troubled times.
Now, not only did the high priest fail to take Lin Yi down, but he'd gotten a sword through his throat instead. What was he supposed to do?
At that moment, everyone was silent as they looked at Lin Yi with fear in their eyes. They were afraid that Lin Yi would kill them too!
Strictly speaking, Lin Yi did have the power to do so.
As a Lord of the coastal sea who was on the same level as the four Seas 'royal families, being attacked by the Qin clan's chief exalt in the Qin clan's territory was an undisguised offense against his superior in the eyes of officials. He had every reason to use this as an excuse to make a fuss.
Not to mention killing a high priest, even if he had to slaughter all of them, that would be logical.
In the past, because the sea God's temple was too far away, these words were at most just empty words-they couldn't be carried out. But now that Lin Yi had the strength, he could make it a reality whenever he wanted!
The higher-ups of the Qin family were drenched in cold sweat. They finally realized that they had fallen into such a dangerous situation without realizing it.
"A bunch of trash."
The high priest's voice suddenly rang out. As he spoke, the wound on his throat slowly healed, and in the blink of an eye, it was as good as new. Not even a scar was left.
If not for the fact that so many people had witnessed it, many people would have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
The high priest coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, his disappointment evident on his face.
He had been stationed at the Qin clan for a hundred years. His feelings for the Qin clan were even deeper than many of the Qin clan members.
However, based on the situation just now, if he really died, the Qin family would probably not be far from falling apart. Where would they have any of the courage that they had under the old Madam's care?
Everyone was speechless.
The high priest's eyes were filled with anger, but he didn't want to vent it on the others. He turned his anger back to Lin Yi.
A dense killing intent condensed on the tip of the giant sword, and the momentum of a storm was gradually forming!
Everyone collectively swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Anyone with even the slightest bit of insight could see that the high priest was truly angry, and his next sword was bound to be serious.
"Three moves," Lin Yi said indifferently.
“……”
Everyone was stunned. They thought back to it-it was Lin Yi's first move, but it was indeed the third move. They had already passed the three-move agreement.
"You're right. "
The high priest's sword focused, but just when everyone thought it was over, a dark light flashed across and landed on Lin Yi's body.
Lin Yi was sent flying by the sword, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
But before he could land on the ground, the high priest's figure flickered and suddenly appeared above him without any warning. The giant sword smashed down on his chest, pressing him to death on the ground.
"Setting rules is the privilege of the strong. The weak can only follow the rules, but the strong don't need to. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
The high priest announced the Victor's victory from above.
Qin Yitong and all the higher-ups of the Qin family were invigorated. The pressure that Lin Yi gave them was finally gone, especially Qin Yitong who had been stepped on for so long. He could finally get up again.
"Head exalt, we can't let this person live. Kill him!"
Qin Yitong's face was filled with hatred. The humiliation he suffered just now had become a dark history that he would never forget. Only by killing Lin Yi would he be able to get some comfort.
Qin Qing quickly stood up to stop him,"no!" He's the new Sea King, killing him would be a public declaration of war against the sea goddess Hall. Do you want our Qin clan to be consigned to eternal damnation?"
"Hmph, leaving him alive is the only way to bring endless trouble. The sea goddess Hall is currently too busy with its own affairs. Do you really think that they'll fall out with our Qin clan over an insignificant dead person?"
Qin Yitong stared at Qin Qing coldly."You were the one who attracted this person here. Now, you are defending him. I really want to ask you this. Second brother, whose side are you on?"
