When Yin Tianbao saw Su Yang standing there holding Lin Anlan, he instantly realized that Su Yang was the one who had saved Lin Anlan, and that Yuwen Rongxuan had taken the opportunity to escape. At the same time, he recalled that the person in front of him was the ragged little beggar he had wanted to question the Blood Squad about. In an instant, countless thoughts flooded his mind. He had been hunting geese all day, but now he had been pecked in the eye by one of them. How could Yin Tianbao tolerate this? At this moment, he felt that his dignity had been challenged, and all his anger was directed at Su Yang.

"Kill him!" Yin Tianbao said through gritted teeth.

The remaining soldiers obeyed the order and took out their weapons, preparing to surround and kill Su Yang. Faced with such a predicament, Su Yang knew that it would be futile to explain, and besides, he couldn't explain it clearly. Faced with the aggressive enemy, Su Yang quickly thought for a moment, turned around and ran, but when he looked back, he instantly wanted to curse.

It turned out that the exit had been blocked by Yuwen Rongxuan with countless pebbles, leaving Su Yang here to buy time for his own escape.

"That's awesome," Su Yang thought to himself.

Seeing that Su Yang's escape route was blocked, Yin Tianbao laughed again: "Hahahaha, even if you are intelligent and cunning, what use are all your tricks? In the end, you will still be betrayed and left here to die under the knife!"

Su Yang was also puzzled after hearing this: "What do you mean? What trick? What did I do!"

Seeing that Su Yang remained silent, Yin Tianbao stopped talking and ordered his soldiers to continue the attack.

Su Yang activated his elemental power to parry the attack, and the cave instantly descended into chaos once more, filled with shouts of battle. At this moment, Su Yang could only envy the overpowered protagonists in novels who could wipe out entire groups of enemies with a single strike, crushing any foe with a single blow. Fortunately, he had enough trump cards of his own. Immediately afterward, Su Yang activated his mist elemental power and softly uttered, "Disperse."

A massive fog surged from the Lost Ring, filling the entire cave. Yin Tianbao and the others couldn't discern directions in the fog. A general immediately unleashed his fire elemental power, shouting, "Wildfire Spreads!" He then wildly swung his sword, intending to evaporate the fog with the high temperature. However, after a series of swings, the fog only thickened instead of diminishing.

After releasing the fog, Su Yang took the opportunity to hide behind a rock. His idea was to conceal himself first. In this dense fog, he could use cloud radar to identify enemies, which would ensure his safety and give him more time to consider countermeasures.

The soldiers hadn't seen Su Yang for a long time, and being in the thick fog, an unknown fear began to spread. One of the elite soldiers was on guard, constantly retreating, hoping to find his back against the stone wall so he only needed to defend three sides. During his retreat, he suddenly collided with someone. The soldier was jolted and thrust his spear into his back, but only halfway through when he saw a spear pierce his chest. At the same time, he screamed in terror. It turned out that he had bumped into one of his own men.

The shout immediately made the others in the thick fog tense, thinking that Su Yang was attacking. Little did they know that Su Yang was also wondering what these people were shouting about.

A moment later, shouts of killing and screams filled the air, sending chills down Su Yang's spine: "What are these people killing?"

Yin Tianbao was also flustered. He drew his sword and looked around, cursing, "Shameless scoundrel! You resort to such underhanded tactics! If you have the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Before they could think, Yin Tianbao thrust his sword at the person, but it was blocked. It turned out to be a general. The general said urgently, "Lord of the city, it's me!" Yin Tianbao was relieved. The two of them walked forward while calling for the remaining soldiers to gather around.

Seeing the enemy slowly gathering on the radar, Su Yang knew that the fog of war might be losing its effectiveness. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him: "I've got it!"

He raised his hand, now adorned with the Ring of Lost Souls, and focused his mind, silently chanting, "Lost Realm." The next moment, an invisible wave of energy swept through the entire cave. The assembled elite soldiers suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Initially thinking it was one of their own, they were shocked to find it was Su Yang. Without hesitation, several spears thrust out simultaneously, and the charging "Su Yang" collapsed, coughing up blood. Just as everyone was celebrating their victory, a soldier on the other side shouted, " Engage the enemy!"

Everyone turned their attention to the approaching figure, and as it drew nearer, they were all shocked: "How come there's another person who looks exactly like him!" In the eyes of the elite soldiers, Su Yang, who had just been killed, was running back from the other side. One of the elite soldiers hurriedly turned around to confirm, and the "Su Yang" who had just been killed was now lying on the ground. After confirming, the elite soldier became even more terrified and screamed like a madman as he stabbed at the "Su Yang" running towards him until this Su Yang also fell to the ground.

The others quickly grabbed the soldier who was on the verge of collapse and looked at the two "Su Yangs" lying on the ground. Yin Tianbao also felt a chill run down his spine. How could there be two identical people? But when they looked up at each other, everyone except himself turned into Su Yang. Everyone took a step back and stared at the several "Su Yangs" in front of them. Yin Tianbao was sweating profusely. As a sixth-level elementalist, he had never encountered such a situation before.

But the two battle-hardened generals were more experienced. One of them shouted, "Lord! It's an illusion! Where are you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Yin Tianbao turned to look at the "Su Yang" who had spoken. "Su Yang," seeing someone looking at him, quickly said, "City Lord, this is an illusion. We've been under an illusion spell. Everyone here is on our side. Don't make any rash moves."

Yin Tianbao was skeptical until Su Yang lowered his weapon, at which point he believed the man before him was his subordinate. Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Su Yang was at a loss. At this moment, Die'er transmitted her voice, "Now you can show yourself, turn the tables, get close and assassinate them one by one, none of them can escape."

However, Su Yang was conflicted because he had never killed a person before. Although he had killed ferocious beasts, those were just beasts after all. How could they compare to living people? Seeing that Su Yang remained silent, Die'er knew his thoughts and stopped trying to persuade him. She simply materialized and sent a telepathic message to Linglong: "Long'er, help me."

Upon hearing this, Linglong summoned a wisp of mist to attach to Die'er. Die'er transformed into Su Yang's appearance and left her hiding place, quietly approaching the enemy. A soldier, seeing Su Yang approaching, mistook him for one of their own and was caught off guard. As Die'er, in Su Yang's form, drew near, Linglong immediately unleashed the power of cloud element, conjuring a dagger that instantly killed the soldier. Then, Linglong, in the distance, softly uttered, "Hidden." The next second, Die'er vanished without a trace.

Yin Tianbao and the others watched helplessly as the enemy killed their subordinates. At least they were certain that everyone around them was one of their own, which reassured Yin Tianbao somewhat. If anyone resembling Su Yang appeared again, it would definitely be him.

While the invisibility effect was still active, Die'er moved into the midst of the enemy, seized the opportunity to kill one of the elite soldiers with her dagger, framed another guard as the murderer, and successfully retreated. This sudden situation once again aroused mutual suspicion among Yin Tianbao and the others, and the group once again distanced themselves, because at this moment, everyone could be the enemy.

Die'er, back beside Su Yang, nodded gently to Linglong, who had already materialized. Linglong nodded in response. Then Die'er said to Su Yang, "I'll do what you don't want to do. I'm doing these things just to ensure your safety." After saying that, she stopped talking and kept wiping her hands, which were not stained with blood.

Su Yang saw this and knew he had to make changes and couldn't rely on others for everything, but he was absolutely unable to do so in a short time.

Finally, the battle between Yin Tianbao and the others broke out. Suspicion reached its peak, and anyone who made a move was suspected of being an enemy. After a fierce fight, only three people survived: Yin Tianbao and two generals. These three were the strongest and held out until the end, but they had also exhausted a lot of their elemental power. The three looked at each other, panting. One of the generals said, "City Lord, is it confirmed now? All three of us are sixth-level elementalists, which is why we have survived until now."

Yin Tianbao nodded, put down his sword, and approached the two generals. The two generals also lowered their guard, preparing to relax their tense nerves. However, Yin Tianbao approached and struck twice with lightning speed. The two generals looked at Yin Tianbao in horror: "City Lord, why..." and then fell down.

Yin Tianbao flicked the blood off his sword and said indifferently, "I won't be at ease until you're all dead." Then he shouted into the mist, "Alright, you can show yourself now. Nothing can hold me back anymore!"

Seeing that Su Yang did not respond, Yin Tianbao once again activated his elemental power, saying, "Since you won't come out, then just wait to be roasted into a dried-up human body!" Immediately, he activated his fire elemental power: "Earth Fire Ignites the Sky!" The entire cave floor glowed red, and a few seconds later, a burst of flames rose from the ground, covering the entire cave. The flames lasted for more than ten seconds, and the high temperature evaporated most of the mist. After the flames ended, visibility inside the cave returned to clear.

Yin Tianbao braced himself on the ground, panting heavily. This move had exhausted all his elemental power. If he still couldn't kill Su Yang, then death would be his only fate. However, Yin Tianbao firmly believed that Su Yang couldn't escape his move. But it was like an ancient person's technology fighting against a modern person's technology. Su Yang walked out from behind the rock unharmed, radiating a purple light.

"Luckily, I know about fireproof suits." Su Yang thought to himself with relief, while Yin Tianbao's eyes were filled with disbelief. He didn't know how Su Yang had managed to withstand the full force of his attack as a 6th-tier elementalist. Of course, Su Yang wouldn't tell him the principle. He just stood there thinking: "It seems he's out of fighting power. Should I kill him myself or have someone else do it?"

Just as Su Yang was struggling with his decision, Yin Tianbao laughed: "Hahahaha, I thought you were an unknown nobody, not worth worrying about. I never expected you to have such skills. I deserve to be defeated! Heaven is not on my side, what use is my life!" After saying that, he drew his sword and committed suicide.
