Chapter 603: Ye the Great Deceiver
Qiu Weizhi reached out his hand and shook it with Ye Lin.
Warmth passed from one hand to the other, finally reaching the heart.
Ye Lin helped Qiu Weizhi up and smiled slightly.
"Alright, let's go quickly! We can't delay any longer, otherwise we won't be able to escape."
"Okay." Qiu Weizhi nodded.
After the group simply rested, they walked toward the end of the mine tunnel.
The scene at the end of the mine tunnel made the four of them gasp at the same time.
Countless runes were floating before their eyes, and blood-red light flickered, as if some unknown creature was breathing incessantly.
Through the blood-colored mist, one could vaguely see rusted iron chains, and on the iron chains, one blood-colored coffin after another was tied, dense and countless at a glance.
"This is that killing array, named the Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array. Are you sure you can break it?" Qiu Weizhi looked at Ye Lin and asked.
"Breaking the array will alarm that Chen Qi, right? Then what if the array breaker dies inside?" Ye Lin asked back.
"Then of course it's fine. If the array breaker dies, Lord Chen Qi naturally won't pay attention." Qiu Weizhi explained.
"That's fine, then I'll try to see how powerful this Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array is."
Ye Lin used One Qi Becomes Three Purities to conjure three clones.
Then he merged his consciousness into one of the clones and controlled it to walk into the Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array in front of him.
The moment Ye Lin's clone stepped into the array range, one of the blood coffins suddenly exploded!
A foul-smelling blood mist surged, and a black figure rushed out from the blood coffin, pouncing toward Ye Lin at a very fast speed.
Only after getting closer did he discover that the black figure had no skin, and he could see the muscles and blood vessels directly, looking incomparably strange.
Ye Lin's clone didn't hesitate, starting with the World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder, and the surging lightning instantly blew the black shadow to pieces.
But the next second, more blood coffins exploded incessantly, and skinless corpses rushed straight toward Ye Lin's clone.
Under the siege of so many skinless corpses, Ye Lin's clone couldn't hold on for long; his body was torn to pieces, and the skin on his body was peeled off directly.
Under the effect of the array, Ye Lin's clone soon became a new skinless corpse.
This strange scene made the few of them feel cold all over.
Brother Kuai Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he couldn't help but ask.
"So these corpses in the Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array are all ascenders who wanted to escape the mining area in the past?"
Qiu Weizhi didn't say much, just nodded with a dark face.
"With so many blood coffins, how many ascenders are buried in this array?" Liu Ruyan frowned.
When they were alive, they had to be treated as beasts of burden, and even after death, their corpses couldn't be at peace, having to be refined into skinless corpses to block other ascenders from heading toward freedom.
At this moment, they all felt that their choice to escape was correct.
This mining area simply didn't treat the lives of ascenders as lives.
"How is it, can it be broken?" Qiu Weizhi asked.
"Not sure, but we can try! If you trust me, close your eyes and give me your hands."
Ye Lin looked at the three, his gaze gentle and firm.
Liu Ruyan and the three hesitated for a while, but still chose to close their eyes and hand their hands to Ye Lin.
"Remember, you must not open your eyes, because the forbidden spell I am about to cast is very terrifying. If you look around, you will be in danger of your life!"
Ye Lin's voice was incomparably serious.
"Repeat, I'm not joking!"
After warning the three, Ye Lin took out the battle-damaged Human Emperor Flag.
As for why there would be danger to their lives, of course, it was because if they saw it, they would be silenced by Ye Lin.
In an instant, countless soul-body armies surged out from the Human Emperor Flag.
*Crack. *
Another crack appeared on the Human Emperor Flag.
A crack also appeared in Ye Lin's heart.
The current Human Emperor Flag would suffer a bit of wear and tear every time it was used, making Ye Lin afraid to collect souls even after killing people.
If it weren't to break the Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array in front of him instantly, Ye Lin wouldn't be willing to take out the Human Emperor Flag.
The dense soul-body army rushed out like a steel torrent, fighting with those skinless corpses.
The combat power of a single soul body was naturally not as good as a skinless corpse, but the soul-body army won by having enough quantity and being able to resurrect infinitely.
Ye Lin and the four were surrounded in the middle by the soul-body army, pushing horizontally all the way, walking on flat ground in the Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array.
Qiu Weizhi, Liu Ruyan, and Brother Kuai Yan didn't know what had happened at all. They only knew that resentment and evil energy were intertwined around them, making their hearts feel cold.
The roars of the skinless corpses and the mournful howls of the soul bodies kept ringing in their ears.
But they all remembered Ye Lin's words and didn't dare to open their eyes at all.
The soul-body army carried them and rushed toward the outside of the killing array at a very fast speed.
Meanwhile, in the Lingquan vein, a lean man suddenly opened his eyes.
The aura on his body was mysterious, as if he could merge with this heaven and earth, knowing all the mysteries between heaven and earth.
"Someone actually managed to break through the Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array?"
"That's right, I think the reason why the Lingquan vein suddenly couldn't dig out Immortal Source ore must have something to do with this existence that can break the array."
The man stood up slowly, turned into a breeze, and disappeared from where he was.
On the other side, after leaving the last trace of blood-colored mist behind, Ye Lin and the four finally appeared outside the mining area!
The dazzling sunlight made Ye Lin's eyes unable to open.
Compared to the dark mining area, the blue sky, white clouds, and sunlight in front of him were simply the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Ye Lin put away the Human Emperor Flag at light speed, and then said in a deep voice.
"We're out, open your eyes."
The dazzling sunlight made a few people feel a bit confused, until they looked back at the Ten-Thousand-Corpse Evil Array behind them that was filled with evil energy, and they believed that they had really broken out of the killing array.
"We actually really came out..."
Qiu Weizhi's face was full of surprise, but the next second, as if thinking of something, his face changed suddenly.
"Run! Lord Chen Qi should have already noticed. If we don't run, we're dead!"
Saying that, he pulled Ye Lin and wanted to run away, but Ye Lin stood still as if steel nails had grown under his feet.
"If we run together, we will definitely be caught up by that Chen Qi, after all, he is a Profound-Passing Realm great cultivator, so..."
A look of "I'll take the responsibility" appeared on Ye Lin's face.
"You guys run, I'll block that Chen Qi!"
"What kind of joke are you making? You can't block him! Chen Qi is not someone Shuang Wuxiang can compare to!" Qiu Weizhi's face changed wildly.
"I can block him."
"You can't!"
"I can block him."
"You can't block him!" Qiu Weizhi roared.
"Then do you have a better way to ensure we can all escape?" Ye Lin asked with a smile.
"I..."
Ye Lin's words made Qiu Weizhi silent directly.
"Alright, don't be wishy-washy. If that Chen Qi catches up later, we won't be able to run at all!"
Ye Lin cursed and pushed Qiu Weizhi and the three out.
"Why are you doing this? Are you not afraid of death?" Qiu Weizhi asked with a complex expression.
He originally thought that after leaving the killing array, Ye Lin would reveal his true colors, and even want to kill him.
But he didn't expect that after leaving the killing array, Ye Lin would actually stay behind to block the Profound-Passing Realm great cultivator Chen Qi, leaving the hope of life to them.
Thinking of how he treated Ye Lin when he first met him, Qiu Weizhi couldn't stop a sense of guilt from rising in his heart.
"You ask why?"
Ye Lin turned his back to Qiu Weizhi, his tone flat and firm.
"Because we are partners, because you are the person I swore a Dao Oath to protect!" ===== CHAPTER 604 =====
