I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This clearly included Tuoba Yu within the attack range, which is truly ruthless and vicious.

Lin Yi was curious: if they killed each other, wouldn't they suffer a backlash from their luck?

As for the intensity of the opponent's attack, Lin Yi had a good idea of ​​it.

The opponent had simply connected the power of heaven and earth and linked the power of twelve people together to achieve the strength of a first-grade expert.

However, the gap between different ranks is also very large. Take the Demon King as an example: someone who has lived for more than 2,500 years can be called a Demon King, but someone who has lived for 8,999 years is also a Demon King.

With Lin Yi's current strength, he only needs one punch to kill someone who has reached the first rank by combining the strength of many.

Of course, this formation still has its merits. If twelve first-rank experts were to use this formation, its strength would be terrifying.

"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and this is the end you deserve."

As Lin Yi spoke, he calmly stepped in front of Tuoba Yu as a shield.

He could do it himself, but there's no need.

At this moment, the main reason is curiosity. Cultivators are hesitant to harm people in the imperial court because they are concerned about the influence of the court's fortune.

Moreover, the place protected by the dynasty's fortune will also suppress cultivators. For example, even when He Dong had cultivated for over a thousand years, he did not dare to trespass into the prefect's mansion.

Why do these people dare to act so recklessly? Aren't they afraid of being attacked back if they kill Tuoba Yu?

To conduct the test, Lin Yi pushed Tuoba Yu to the front.

"No!"

As the scorching energy surged towards him, Tuoba Yu felt as if he was about to die, but no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free from Lin Yi's grasp.

Finally, the rocket pierced through Tuoba Yu's chest, leaving a hole in his chest cavity, and the air smelled slightly burnt.

After the rocket passed through Tuoba Yu, its offensive continued unabated and landed in Lin Yi's hands.

Lin Yi didn't do anything special; he simply caught the powerful attack launched by the twelve great witches.

As for his hands, the skin wasn't even broken.

His "immortal skin and jade bones" refer to his physical attributes; even if his spiritual essence is sealed, it will not be affected in the slightest, and his defenses will remain intact.

Of course, this was also Lin Yi's way of testing his physical strength, so that if he couldn't withstand the attack, he would have time to dodge.

However, the strength of the Immortal Skin and Jade Bones completely exceeded his expectations. This was equivalent to a full-force attack from a first-grade expert, yet he managed to neutralize it with ease.

The twelve great witches were also somewhat bewildered by the scene. Was this person a freak?

From the beginning, they didn't know Lin Yi's true strength; they only thought of him as a relatively powerful person.

When they join forces, who can't they defeat?

As long as Lin Yi is killed, everything will be fine.

As for the minor incident of accidentally killing Tuoba Yu while protecting him, it was naturally not that important.

However, when Lin Yi easily caught the arrow, they were all stunned.

Is this some kind of humanoid monster?

How could someone actually withstand a full-force attack from a first-grade expert using only their physical strength?

While they were still questioning their existence, Lin Yi casually set Tuoba Yu on fire.

He didn't burn his victims to ashes every time he killed someone, but a villain like Tuoba Yu deserved to have his ashes turned to dust.

"Alright, the hostage is dead. It seems you're really not afraid of the backlash from your luck. Can you tell me why? Perhaps I'll spare your lives."

At first, the twelve great shamans all thought Lin Yi wanted to threaten them by controlling Tuoba Yu. Now that Tuoba Yu was dead, they realized that Lin Yi's capture of Tuoba Yu might just have been a joke...

The act of blocking the arrow with bare hands frightened them, and they dared not oppose Lin Yi anymore. They quickly replied, "We have been worshipped by Tuoba Yu for a long time, and our auras are deeply connected. Naturally, we will not suffer any backlash."

"Oh, you guys are really great!"

Lin Yi was surprised to learn of this setting. No wonder some officials who colluded with demons were often harmed by them; the imperial court's fortune was originally meant to protect them.

But after they colluded with demons, the demons became tainted by their aura and were no longer afraid of the imperial court's fortune.

This also applies to humans. However, it also shows that Tuoba Yu truly trusts the Twelve Great Witches.

Ironically, he ultimately died at the hands of his own people.

This is self-inflicted, and there's no going back.

Lin Yi didn't care about their past grievances. After hearing the great shaman's reply, he nodded and said, "You can leave now. The rest of you can stay!"

Chapter 387 I, Lin Yi, am happy to help others

Lin Yi wasn't unethical; he said that those who answered the question could leave. Since only one person answered the question, of course the others couldn't leave!

The twelve great witches were indeed deeply wary of Lin Yi, but their current situation was already very precarious.

Their original goal was to kill Lin Yi and protect Tuoba Yu in order to secure their own interests. However, now that they have killed Tuoba Yu, they have to retreat in the face of Lin Yi, which means they are in big trouble.

If another brother were to be killed, the situation would be even worse.

The twelve great witches are of one mind and are united as one. When they come together, they possess the combat power of a first-rank official, and even the imperial court will rely on them.

Moreover, they had long heard that the emperor was dissatisfied with Tuoba Yu. If they killed Tuoba Yu, it would be considered a merit in the emperor's eyes, and perhaps they could go and seek refuge with him.

Moreover, Lin Yi is not trying to kill anyone, but only to leave one person alive. How could the others be willing to die?

Even the one who was released knew he was in a bad situation; without the help of his companions, he certainly wouldn't live long.

Since that's the case, there's no point in seeking peace anymore; the only option left is to fight.

It's infuriating that this guy tricked them into answering questions; he's truly despicable!

"Brother Han, leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. This is an old saying of yours. Do you really want to fight us to the death today?"

The one who spoke was probably the leader. He looked the oldest, but his figure was the most hunched. He was one of the stealth assassins.

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "You can tell you've all been to school, but only a little. We Han people have an old saying: 'If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze.' Since you've become enemies, I'll only feel at ease if you're all wiped out."

Hua Nianrou, who was watching the battle from inside the house, had a gleam in her eyes when she heard this.

"What a perfect example of 'if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze!'"

These words, both domineering and ruthless, seemed to ignite her cold blood.

Although she had read many books and had never heard of this saying before, she did not doubt its authenticity.

That's exactly how it should be done.

Back then, the Han Dynasty was so mighty and powerful, sweeping across the land, pursuing the fleeing enemy and driving the foreign tribes to the bitter cold.

However, they did not eradicate the foreign races completely, but merely banished them. It was precisely because they allowed the foreign races to recuperate and thrive that they are facing the calamity we see today.

Instead of eliminating the surrounding bandits, they engaged in internal strife, allowing external bandits to take advantage of the situation and invade. This led to the Han people fleeing south in disarray, resulting in the loss of their homeland and widespread suffering.

The more Hua Nianrou thought about it, the more she felt that Lin Yi was the wise ruler of the time. If he could raise his banner, he would surely have thousands of subjects who would submit to him.

Regardless of how excited Hua Nianrou was, it didn't affect the situation on the field.

Lin Yi was the one who was surrounded, but at the same time, he also surrounded everyone else.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, the twelve great witches had no choice but to resort to their strongest methods.

They both assumed an attack stance, but before launching their attacks, neither knew which one was the true first-class attacker.

This tactic is naturally very effective against other first-rank officials, because it allows you to outnumber them and makes it difficult for them to distinguish between real and feints, inevitably leading to a stalemate in the ensuing back-and-forth.

But Lin Yi didn't care who launched the first-grade attack; he just kept attacking.

He charged at the archer first; it's common sense to target the ADC in team fights.

The enemy archer was very agile. He dodged immediately when Lin Yi pounced. Several other strong men quickly came to his aid, but Lin Yi's tiger roar made them dizzy.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi was already close by, and with a punch, the great shaman's skull shattered. It was truly a scene of utter horror, like a silver screen suddenly breaking open and water flowing freely.

Lin Yi fought seriously, and in just one exchange, he reduced their number by one.

Lin Yi's killing intent remained undiminished, and he charged towards the nearest reinforcement, Da Wu Da.

The great shaman was also known for his strength, but when he stretched out his arm to try to stop Lin Yi, Lin Yi easily lifted him up and threw him, also smashing two other great shamans who were preparing to shoot arrows, causing them to vomit blood.

"There isn't a single one who can fight."

The situation was basically one-sided. The great shamans, who had originally planned to fight Lin Yi to the death, were now thrown into a panic by the sight of blood.

How can we possibly win this fight!

Run!

At this moment, only nine of the twelve great witches survived. Lin Yi picked up the spiked club that the great witch had dropped earlier, brandished it, and chased after him.

Lin Yi would not let any of these twelve great witches go.

On the way to Chang'an, Lin Yi asked Wang Wei a lot about Tuoba Yu, and there were many stories about the Twelve Great Witches.

The most troublesome enemy of the Green and Red Gang is naturally the Twelve Great Witches, but since they serve their own masters, the outcome of their battles is not a matter of right or wrong.

However, in order to improve their cultivation, the twelve great witches often needed to sacrifice young boys and girls. With Tuoba Yu's support, they could arrest whomever they wanted.

Moreover, in the territory of the Northern Wei, the non-Han people held a more prestigious position. Although they had Tuoba Yu as their backer, the Twelve Great Shamans could not afford to offend the non-Han people, so the Han people all suffered.

The Han people living in the Northern Wei Dynasty could be said to have been in constant misery.

After hearing those words, Lin Yi added the Twelve Great Witches to his kill list. Since he had already come here and was determined to kill, he might as well go all out and slaughter them.

Two more breaths later, five surviving high priests remained.

Every time Lin Yi swung his spiked club, he could take a life. The twelve great witches, who had been tyrannical and invincible in the Northern Wei Dynasty, were now like chickens and dogs under Lin Yi's command.

"Help!"

The great shamans, who had been relentlessly pursued by Lin Yi, finally remembered that they had two high priests in their mansion. Although they were said to be as powerful as any high priest when the twelve great shamans worked together, they believed that if they could have the help of two high priests, they could deal with this evil god.

Even the once invincible great shamans may not perform any better than ordinary people when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

At this moment, the Dragon Wolf High Priest and the White Wolf High Priest could no longer sit still.

Originally, it was thought to be just a routine assassination attempt that the Twelve Great Witches could handle, but in the end, Tuoba Yu died.

"We should have done something earlier, but now it's too late."

High Priest White Wolf said regretfully that he knew about the situation at the Prince's Mansion beforehand, but they all felt that even if there was a situation, there was no need to take action.
