Chapter 601: Where is the True Body?

"Your mother's..."

Qiu Weizhi's vision went black; was this even a question of whether or not to launch a sneak attack?

These few pieces of trash, even with a sneak attack, couldn't possibly be a match for someone in the Spirit Gathering Realm!

But now, it was too late for Qiu Weizhi to stop it, because Ye Lin had already rushed to the side of Tang Chu and Shuang Wuxiang.

The two of them were currently wrapped up in each other, enjoying the harmony of life, and had no idea that a "sneaky bastard" had already crept up beside them.

"Chu'er, give me your all!"

"Sister, I'm coming!"

Just as the two roared out, Ye Lin also made his move.

A golden spear condensed from Eternal Geng Metal thrust down fiercely!

"A forbidden technique again?"

Qiu Weizhi felt his scalp tingle; what exactly was Ye Lin's background, and why was it a forbidden technique every time he made a move?

The golden spear was incomparably sharp, instantly piercing through Tang Chu's body and heading straight for Shuang Wuxiang beneath him.

Shuang Wuxiang was startled; she never expected that at such a critical moment, someone would suddenly launch a sneak attack, and with a lethal move at that.

"Body of Steel!"

But her reaction was swift; she let out a roar, and a metallic luster actually began to shimmer over her body.

The spear condensed from Eternal Geng Metal only advanced three inches before being firmly stuck by Shuang Wuxiang's robust muscles.

"Holy cow!"

Ye Lin gasped; the Spirit Gathering Realm was indeed different. Even with a sneak attack, he hadn't been able to deal a heavy blow to his opponent.

However, while Shuang Wuxiang was fine, Tang Chu was not so lucky. Having had his heart pierced by the Eternal Geng Metal, he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, and his aura withered instantly.

"Chu'er! Chu'er, pull yourself together, Chu'er!"

Shuang Wuxiang held Tang Chu, her eyes filled with heartache.

Yet Tang Chu could no longer speak, and the flame of his life dimmed bit by bit.

"No matter who you are! You must pay the price in blood!"

Shuang Wuxiang was furious, and a terrifying aura surged out, sweeping through the entire mine tunnel.

At this moment, Ye Lin utilized the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, and four Ye Lins simultaneously used the Eternal Geng Metal forbidden spell to smash toward Shuang Wuxiang.

Since one person's strength wasn't enough, then all four would go together!

"Peisi: Ignite!"

However, it was only then that Ye Lin finally saw with his own eyes how terrifying a Spirit Gathering Realm existence was.

Shuang Wuxiang muttered an incantation, and four streaks of fire ignited out of thin air on the bodies of the four Ye Lins.

The flames burned fiercely, and they seemed to possess a bizarre power; no matter what Ye Lin did, he could not extinguish them.

Soon, Ye Lin and his three clones were all burned into a pile of ash by these strange flames.

"Damn! I told you not to provoke Shuang Wuxiang! This kid just wouldn't listen!"

Qiu Weizhi's scalp tingled. It didn't matter if Ye Lin died—he didn't care—but if Shuang Wuxiang happened to kill him too while she was at it, he would be at a huge loss!

Just as Qiu Weizhi was thinking about sneaking away before Shuang Wuxiang noticed him, four more Ye Lins popped out from some unknown corner and lunged at Shuang Wuxiang again.

"Hmm? Again?"

Qiu Weizhi's face was filled with astonishment.

He remembered it was the same when he fought Ye Lin; even though he had killed Ye Lin's true body and all his clones completely, Ye Lin would immediately revive, lively and well.

"Could it be... this kid's true body has never appeared? He has always been showing himself through clones?"

This conjecture made Qiu Weizhi's scalp tingle.

Only this could explain why Ye Lin appeared one after another, impossible to kill off.

This guy was far too insidious; he actually relied entirely on clones while walking out in the world.

By now, Shuang Wuxiang also realized something was wrong. She had already killed Ye Lin over a dozen times in succession with spells, yet he kept popping out from some unknown corner; this guy was completely a renewable resource.

"I must find his true body, otherwise these clones will exhaust the immortal energy in my body!"

Shuang Wuxiang stepped back several paces and closed her eyes tightly.

She then bit her finger and wiped it over her eyelids; the red blood instantly turned the color of gold.

Shuang Wuxiang opened her eyes and shouted aloud.

"Open!"

Golden light bloomed from her eyes; this was a special spell that could allow her to find those hiding in the shadows.

Soon, the hidden Liu Ruyan, Kuai Yan, and Qiu Weizhi were all discovered by Shuang Wuxiang; under those glowing golden eyes, they had nowhere to hide.

"Found you!"

Shuang Wuxiang's gaze immediately locked onto Qiu Weizhi.

Because among those present, Liu Ruyan was only at the early stage of Pulse Condensation, and Kuai Yan hadn't even reshaped his body.

No matter how one looked at it, Qiu Weizhi was the most likely candidate to be Ye Lin's true body.

"As long as I destroy the true body, these clones will collapse on their own! A mere team leader daring to act presumptuously before me—you are truly tired of living!"

Shuang Wuxiang's tone was filled with icy, extreme killing intent.

Qiu Weizhi was instantly dumbfounded.

How did he end up taking the blame after all this?

"Don't come over here! It's not me!"

Qiu Weizhi shouted, but how could Shuang Wuxiang, who was in the heat of anger, believe him?

"Peisi: Ignite!"

Shuang Wuxiang condensed a streak of fire and headed straight for Qiu Weizhi.

Qiu Weizhi's scalp tingled instantly; with Shuang Wuxiang's strength, if he made contact with that streak of fire, he would definitely be burned to ashes!

Yet he couldn't even dodge it; how could a spell from the Spirit Gathering Realm be something he, a late-stage Pulse Condensation cultivator, could dodge?

Just as Qiu Weizhi was in despair, a figure stepped forward and blocked in front of him.

Ye Lin opened his arms, blocking that streak of fire, letting the raging flames burn his body, causing him excruciating pain.

Even so, Ye Lin still turned his head and flashed a smile at Qiu Weizhi.

"Don't give up so easily, you bastard. You are the person I swore a Dao oath to protect!"
