A cold sneer flashed through Ye Lin's eyes.
Trying that trick on me? Isn't it a little outdated?
Ye Lin raised his right hand. In an instant, terrifying lightning power coiled around his arm.
"Burn."
Ye Lin gave a low shout, and endless lightning power surged into the ground. The dense forest around them erupted into a raging blaze in the blink of an eye.
This was no ordinary fire. It contained a trace of Nine Heavens Profound Thunder's power—capable of burning all things.
Everyone watched as the inferno blazed before them.
Under Ye Lin's deliberate control, the flames spread rapidly.
In only a few moments, the entire forest had been engulfed in roaring flames. Ye Lin had set the whole mountaintop ablaze, with firelight soaring into the heavens.
They simply stood atop the mountain, silently watching it all with cold eyes.
The fire continued to spread, burning everything around it that could burn to ashes.
Only then did Ye Lin slowly turn and look at the others behind him.
"How much longer are you planning to hide?"
Ye Lin looked calmly at Wang Tianyi in the distance.
"What are you talking about?"
A trace of confusion flashed through Wang Tianyi's eyes.
"Still refusing to admit it? No matter."
Ye Lin chuckled, then patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder.
"Xiaoyao, take care of him."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao hesitated for only the briefest moment before immediately charging toward Wang Tianyi with the Wind Thunder Twin Hammers in hand.
Fierce winds howled around him. In the span of a breath, Li Xiaoyao had arrived before Wang Tianyi, raising the Wind Thunder Twin Hammers and smashing them down at him.
The surrounding crowd watched the scene with puzzled eyes, but out of trust in Ye Lin, no one spoke up in objection.
