Chapter 388: Capturing Alive

Looking at the great banner snapping in the wind, Ye Nangao and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

They knew very well what it meant to be sucked into that banner.

Ye Lin wanted them dead!

"Ye Lin, are you trying to fight us until we both perish? Don't forget, the other major clans are still watching from the sidelines!" Ye Nangao threatened.

"Both perish?" Ye Lin was all smiles. "Are you even worthy?"

The expressions of Ye Nangao and the others turned incredibly ugly.

"As for the other major clans, if they want to strike, let them strike. At worst, I'll just kill them all too. Enough talk, let's continue this inside the banner!"

Ye Lin waved the Human Emperor Banner, and fifteen thousand soul bodies shrieked as they rushed out!

These were all evil souls cultivated by the Sang Kingdom, and their combat power was even more formidable than ordinary soul bodies!

The soul bodies, blocking out the sky and sun, swarmed forward like a plague of locusts, almost filling the entire Necrotic Realm.

The Starry Sky realm experts of the Zhuge clan and Ye Guanhai fought desperately to suppress and kill them, but the effect was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a single cup of water.

As long as the Human Emperor Banner remained, those soul bodies would resurrect no matter how many times they were killed; they were only wasting their energy in vain.

"No, this can't go on! We must deal with that banner first!"

Ye Nangao saw the crux of the problem at a glance.

"I will hold off these soul bodies; you go and seize that great banner!"

"Dark Curtain!"

Ye Nangao endured the injury on his chest and used his dark magic once more. Darkness surged out like a tide, forming a massive curtain that shrouded every single soul body!

The Starry Sky realm experts of the Zhuge clan and Ye Guanhai charged toward Ye Lin simultaneously, while Ye Zhenbei remained in place to guard against Zhuge Yi.

"Seize the banner? Good idea."

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow, then held his hands high and thrust the Human Emperor Banner directly into his own crown, before controlling the wound to begin healing.

In this way, he and the Human Emperor Banner became physically one!

If Ye Nangao and the others wanted to seize the banner, they would have to subdue him first, then extract the Human Emperor Banner from his body.

Looking at Ye Lin with a great banner stuck in his head, the four of them turned green!

Just like the first time Wang Yanbing realized the difference between an ace company and an ordinary company, Ye Nangao and the others finally realized just how heaven-defying Ye Lin's thought process was!

Even Zhuge Yi fell silent.

Up until now, the number of people she could not see through at all could be counted on one hand, and Ye Lin was one of them...

Sometimes she felt Ye Lin was deep and full of schemes, capable of playing people in the palm of his hand, and other times she felt this guy was a complete and utter lunatic.

Zhuge Yi did not know if choosing to cooperate with such a guy was a blessing or a curse, but since she was already on the pirate ship, it was too late to back out; she could only walk this path to the end.

"Come on, hurry up and grab my banner~"

Ye Lin chuckled and took the initiative to charge toward Ye Guanhai and the others; the banner on his head looked bizarre no matter how one viewed it.

"Don't be scared by his bluffing. Kill him, and we can naturally seize that banner. Don't forget, he is only level 76!"

Ye Nangao shouted in a deep voice, his face extremely grim; he had underestimated the soul bodies inside the Human Emperor Banner, and he was already reaching his limit!

Ye Guanhai and the others narrowed their eyes, preparing to strike together, when they suddenly felt they had been locked onto by something.

Behind them, a pair of double pupils slowly opened as if the world were just beginning, and in an instant, the two Starry Sky realm experts were unable to move!

"Ye Lin!"

Zhuge Yi closed her eyes, and two trails of blood tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Ye Lin naturally would not let such a good opportunity pass.

"Forbidden Spell: Eye of Eternal Freeze!"

He first froze Ye Zhenbei, who had the strongest defense, to prevent him from jumping out to cause trouble, then dealt ruthless blows to the Zhuge clan's Starry Sky realm expert and Ye Guanhai.

"Forbidden Spell: World-Ending Mad Thunder!"

"Forbidden Spell: Karmic Fire Burning the Heavens!"

With the blessing of two divine artifacts, Ye Lin's mental attribute had reached an incredibly exaggerated level.

In this state, casting two forbidden spells at once had power enough to destroy the world!

The blood-red sky seemed to be torn open at this moment; thunderclouds churned, purple fire filled the sky, and as lightning and flames intertwined, it was as if a god from the nine heavens had descended to deliver divine punishment!

Dazzling lightning tore through the sky and smashed down directly. Thousands of thunder snakes merged with scorching karmic fire to form a sword of thunder and fire, slashing down directly at the Zhuge clan's Starry Sky realm expert and Ye Guanhai!

In that moment, the two clearly felt the threat of death. They wanted to resist, but the eyes behind them were like a cage, trapping them firmly.

Amidst the intertwining thunder and fire, the two figures were submerged, leaving only shrill screams and continuous rumbling sounds to compose a dirge.

When the thunder and fire dissipated, only two human-shaped charred remains were left on the ground.

"Do you want to keep them alive?"

Ye Lin asked, looking at Zhuge Yi. Seeing her shake her head, Ye Lin did not hesitate to activate Endless Devour, turning the Zhuge clan's Starry Sky realm expert into nutrients.

As for Ye Guanhai, he did not kill him; instead, he fed him a life-saving medicine to keep his last breath.

Ye Lin did not intend to kill Ye Nangao and Ye Zhenbei either; he still had things to ask them.

The Heaven-Refining Secret Realm, internal troubles and external threats, the truth revealed under the Human Emperor Banner.

The internal troubles and external threats in Zhuge Qianxing's prophecy had all been resolved, so next... it was time for the truth to be revealed!

As the son of the Ye clan head, Ye Lin believed these two must know some things he wanted to know.

Bang!

Ye Zhenbei finally broke free from the ice, but the moment he did, he was greeted by a forbidden spell from Ye Lin!

Rumble!

A violent thunder dragon blasted Ye Zhenbei away.

Ye Zhenbei's defense was indeed very strong, but at this moment, Ye Guanhai and the Zhuge clan's Starry Sky realm expert had been dealt with, and Ye Nangao was unable to strike because he was busy containing those soul bodies.

Thus, no matter how strong Ye Zhenbei's defense was, it was useless; he was nothing more than a punching bag.

It was like a fully-geared Dun Shan trying to solo a fully-geared Gongsun Li; he would likely be poked into a fool before he could even touch her once.

Under the barrage of over a dozen forbidden spells from Ye Lin, even with Ye Zhenbei's defense, he lay on the ground, enjoying a sleep as peaceful as an infant's.

The only person left standing on the field was Ye Nangao, but he was already at the end of his rope; excessive blood loss made the scene before his eyes blur.

"You despicable villain! If you hadn't had Zhuge Yi ambush me, you would never have been able to beat us!" Ye Nangao gritted his teeth.

"You can use numbers to bully me, but I can't ambush you? What, are good people supposed to just stand there and be pointed at with guns?"

Ye Lin patted Ye Nangao's face and said in a deep voice.

"I ask you, how much do you know about Ye Xueqing's affairs? Tell me everything, in every detail."
