Chapter 604: The Might of Profound Mystery

At this moment, in the eyes of Qiu Weizhi, Ye Lin's back appeared as tall as a mountain.

He truly could not imagine that there was actually someone in this world capable of selfless devotion to those who had harmed him.

"Go quickly, don't let my sacrifice go to waste," Ye Lin urged.

"I understand. We will wait for you in Lingquan County; you must come!" Qiu Weizhi took a deep breath, turned, and left.

Liu Ruyan and Kui Yan still wanted to persuade Ye Lin, but Qiu Weizhi roared directly.

"Go! Stop wasting time; you won't be able to help him by staying behind!"

Qiu Weizhi's words left both of them silent.

He was right; compared to Ye Lin, who could cast forbidden spells with a wave of his hand, their strength was indeed too feeble.

Kui Yan clenched his fists; he had actually reached the point of becoming a dead weight in the team.

"You must stay alive and come to Lingquan County. You still owe me a low-grade Immortal Source Stone, don't forget!"

Kui Yan gave Ye Lin a deep look, then, without further hesitation, followed Liu Ruyan to catch up with Qiu Weizhi's pace.

Watching the three of them depart, a meaningful smile curled at the corners of Ye Lin's mouth.

A breeze swept past, and a figure appeared like a ghost; it was Chen Qi, who had arrived at high speed.

"Initial Pulse Condensation?"

Chen Qi looked at Ye Lin, his brows knitting together involuntarily.

How could an Initial Pulse Condensation cultivator survive passing through the Ten Thousand Corpse Evil Array?

"I assume you have accomplices. Tell me, where are they?"

Chen Qi raised his hand, his five fingers grasping at the air.

With just this move, Ye Lin felt the air around him solidify into a physical form, squeezing in toward him.

His entire body was pulled uncontrollably toward Chen Qi, who gripped him by the throat.

Ye Lin's pupils shrank sharply; he realized he had still underestimated a great cultivator of the Profound Mystery realm.

With every movement, the opponent could faintly manipulate the power of heaven and earth.

"My accomplices are over there!"

Ye Lin pointed to the side, and Chen Qi followed his gaze to see three other Ye Lins standing there obediently.

Chen Qi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Clones?"

He snapped Ye Lin's neck and tossed him aside like trash.

"You dare to show off such petty tricks in front of me?"

Chen Qi's robes fluttered without wind; he tapped his fingertip, and a wind blade condensed, instantly shredding all three of Ye Lin's clones.

There was still the Spirit Gathering realm between Profound Mystery and Pulse Condensation; with such a massive gap in cultivation, Ye Lin had no room to resist, even with his Undying Demon Dragon Body.

After killing Ye Lin, Chen Qi closed his eyes to sense the surroundings; a breeze stirred, and Chen Qi opened his eyes, looking in the direction where Qiu Weizhi and the others had left.

"Three more rats."

Just as Chen Qi was about to pursue, the sky suddenly churned with wind and clouds, and heavy, dark clouds gathered.

"If you want to harm my companions, please step over my corpse first." X4

Four Ye Lins simultaneously used a forbidden spell; the surrounding lightning elements boiled at this moment, as if letting out an angry roar.

"Forbidden spell? You, an ascender at the Initial Pulse Condensation stage, can actually use a forbidden spell?"

"Forbidden Spell: World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

A look of surprise appeared in Chen Qi's eyes.

Forbidden spells were not something just anyone could learn on the Longevity Continent; they were strictly prohibited by major sects and clans, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to even come into contact with them.

Even if one obtained a forbidden spell, learning it was no easy task.

Moreover, he clearly remembered that Ye Lin had already been killed by him; how had he suddenly come back to life?

"It seems you have quite a few secrets on you. Interesting." Chen Qi examined Ye Lin with interest.

At the same time, four bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

These four thunderbolts merged into one, twisting like a rope into a thicker bolt of lightning that struck toward Chen Qi.

Chen Qi raised his hand and pushed out with a forceful palm.

Suddenly, a violent wind rose, howling so fiercely that the lightning could not advance even an inch.

"Forbidden spells are strong, but it depends on who is using them."

"This forbidden spell of yours is enough to threaten the Spirit Gathering realm, but in front of a great Profound Mystery cultivator, it is nothing more than a minor trick."

Chen Qi squeezed his hand, and the lightning dissipated into the wind.

Ye Lin's expression remained unchanged; he had never expected to kill an enemy across two major realms with a single World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder.

The three clones spread out and once again used a forbidden spell to strike at Chen Qi.

Eerie, purplish-red fire lotuses bloomed; they were beautiful, yet contained lethal danger.

"Wind Dragon Curse!"

Chen Qi held up two fingers, and a violent wind surged, transforming into a massive wind dragon that bit directly toward the four fire lotuses.

Before the fire lotuses could even bloom, they were swallowed by the wind dragon.

After consuming the four fire lotuses, the wind dragon whipped its tail, and all three clones were shattered into blood mist.

The wind dragon continued its momentum, biting toward Ye Lin.

Chen Qi narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Ye Lin.

He wanted to see exactly how this guy kept coming back from the dead.

But at this moment, Ye Lin directly raised his hand.

"Forbidden Spell: Wall of Sighs!"

A black wall, resembling a city rampart, rose from the ground, blocking the wind dragon and obstructing Chen Qi's view.

Boom!

The wind dragon slammed fiercely into the Wall of Sighs but failed to break through its defense.

However, the Wall of Sighs was covered in cracks under the impact of the wind dragon.

The wind dragon roared and rammed into it again.

The Wall of Sighs shattered into pieces and collapsed on the spot, kicking up countless dust and smoke.

Chen Qi waved his hand, and the dust vanished completely.

Along with it, Ye Lin's figure had also disappeared.

"Trying to escape? Can you get away?"

A cold sneer curled at the corners of Chen Qi's mouth.

He was even more interested in Ye Lin now; with so many forbidden spells, the guy must have huge secrets!

Chen Qi transformed into a wisp of breeze and quickly caught up to Ye Lin, who was sprinting for his life.

Blood-colored flames burned continuously on Ye Lin's body.

Burning Reincarnation combined with Dance of the Instant had pushed his speed to an incredibly exaggerated level.

Yet even so, it was still not enough in front of Chen Qi of the Profound Mystery realm, and the distance between them was closing bit by bit.

It wasn't that Ye Lin hadn't thought about using a space-time wormhole to escape, but with his current strength on the Longevity Continent, let alone opening a spatial channel, even tearing the spatial barrier was difficult.

Seeing that he was about to be caught by Chen Qi, Ye Lin turned his head with some helplessness.

"Stop chasing me. I really don't have any Jizhi syrup on me. If you keep chasing me, something truly terrifying will happen."

"Oh? I'd like to see what could be so terrifying."

Chen Qi was completely unmoved; his strength was his greatest source of confidence.

The gap of two major realms was enough for him to easily ignore all of Ye Lin's methods.

"You forced my hand."

Ye Lin sighed helplessly and then stopped in his tracks.

He had originally intended to stall for time until Qiu Weizhi and the others had escaped, then shake off Chen Qi.

But he hadn't expected this guy to be like a maggot on a tarsal bone, impossible to shake off no matter what.

"Forbidden Spell: World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"
