The King of Huainan only saw a blur before his eyes, and a figure had already swept past him from beneath.
The next moment, Bai Ye pushed off the ground with one palm and leaped up.
"Bye-bye!"
Bai Ye had no intention of fighting the King of Huainan. He couldn't kill him anyway, so what was the point of fighting?
The King of Huainan turned in anger to pursue, but at this moment, the Ning Shuang Sword transformed into a sword light and streaked past the King of Huainan, stirring up a large wave of cold air that enveloped him, slowing his speed.
Running all the way out of the passage, Bai Ye returned to the previous tomb chamber. At this moment, a man ran out from another passage.
Bai Ye looked up and saw a familiar face, the good brother who had tricked him into dealing with the gold and silver armored warriors.
This was a bit awkward!
The man stared at Bai Ye for a moment, then grinned sheepishly, "Buddy, running for your life?"
Bai Ye nodded, "You too?"
"Yeah, yeah." The man pointed to the other passage, "Then I'll go this way?"
"Alright!" Bai Ye walked towards the other side, "I'll go this way!"
The two quickly passed each other and continued to run rapidly down the passage, only to…
Half a minute later, both of them ran back from the passage at the same time.
Bai Ye asked, "Why did you come back?"
"Damn it!" The man cursed, "There are even more Yin soldiers here, more than twenty of them. Is it the same on your side?"
"I don't have that many," Bai Ye ran past the man, "Just one."
The man looked at Bai Ye's receding back with disdain, "What's there to be afraid of with one? Just kill it!"
As he spoke, the man looked back at the passage Bai Ye had just run back from, then gasped, a giant bone claw was reaching for him!
"Damn it, is your one the King of Huainan?"
Bai Ye heard the startled cry from behind and silently prayed for the man, wishing him a safe journey!
Just then, an eerie wind blew from in front of Bai Ye, and a group of Yin soldiers appeared before him.
Bai Ye quickly took out his high-frequency sawtooth blade, then leaped forward, kicking a Yin soldier in the face and knocking it to the ground. He then swept the sawtooth blade, slashing at the approaching Yin soldiers.
Those Yin soldiers were not strong, but they were ubiquitous and troublesome. Their main purpose was to slow down the escape speed, allowing the King of Huainan to pursue.
After a horizontal sweep, Bai Ye reduced two Yin soldiers to ashes, then kicked another one in the chest, knocking it to the ground. He raised the sawtooth blade and stabbed it forcefully into the ground, piercing the Yin soldier's body.
At the same time…
The Ning Shuang Sword, suspended behind Bai Ye, also flew forward, transforming into a sword light that danced around Bai Ye's body, slicing the throats of two Yin soldiers who had surrounded him.
After swiftly dealing with the group of Yin soldiers, Bai Ye continued to run forward. He reached the end of the passage, and his eyes lit up.
Emerging from the passage, he found himself not in a tomb chamber, but in a grand hall, the very place that had been guarded by the gold and silver armored warriors.
This was definitely good news, proving that Bai Ye was not just going in circles in one area. Although he was still quite far from the exit of the King of Huainan's tomb, he had at least made some progress.
And at this very moment, many people had gathered in the grand hall, seemingly in chaos.
Bai Ye was a bit puzzled. The gold and silver armored warriors had already been dealt with. Those who came later should have just proceeded forward through the passage. Why were they in such a state of chaos?
Then, Bai Ye quickly discovered the reason for their confusion.
In the center of the grand hall floated a jade Ruyi, enveloped in a pale white glow, looking extremely beautiful.
Without a doubt, this was another of the King of Huainan's collections. It must have been dug up from some hidden tomb, but it was clearly not well-hidden, attracting everyone's scramble for it.
Bai Ye was not interested. How could that thing be more powerful than his own Five Spirit Disk?
His priority now was to protect the Five Spirit Disk and leave this place first.
But just as Bai Ye was about to cross the grand hall and head for the opposite passage…
A large patch of purplish-black smoke suddenly appeared, spreading forward rapidly and churning like waves.
The next second, the King of Huainan appeared at the entrance of the passage, piercing through the ceiling and descending from the sky.
"Vermin, do you really think you can escape my grasp?"
The King of Huainan sneered at Bai Ye, then raised his bone claw and swept it forward.
Instantly, an eerie wind howled!
As the eerie wind swept forward, everyone it touched felt as if their chests had been struck by a heavy object, and they were sent flying backward.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the grand hall, not even understanding what had happened, fell to the ground, wailing.
Bai Ye was also hit by the eerie wind, his body sent flying backward and crashing heavily onto the ground. At the same time, he felt a sweetness in his throat, turned his head, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bai Ye pushed himself up with the ground, but the King of Huainan was faster. His body drifted forward, trailing a wisp of purple smoke, and in an instant, he was in front of Bai Ye, a bone hand gripping Bai Ye's throat and pressing him to the ground.
The feeling of suffocation immediately struck. Bai Ye gritted his teeth and swept the sawtooth blade in his hand, hitting the King of Huainan's wrist and directly severing the bone hand. He then flipped over, putting some distance between himself and the King of Huainan.
The King of Huainan glanced at his bare wrist but didn't seem to care. The surrounding smoke then swirled towards him and wrapped around his wrist, and a new bone hand regrew.
The King of Huainan chuckled sinisterly and looked at Bai Ye, "Useless!"
"Of course I know it's useless," Bai Ye muttered to himself, "If it were useful, I would have killed you long ago!"
Bai Ye, grumbling inwardly, got back on his feet with a鲤鱼打挺 (a type of agile flip), and then dashed quickly to the side, intending to flank his way towards the passage exit.
But…
"Ah, ah, ah…"
The King of Huainan's body trembled, and the smoke swirling around him surged outwards, knocking back everyone who had just gotten up from the ground.
At the same time…
At the exit of the passage…
Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink…
The sound of armor colliding echoed, and then Yin soldiers appeared one by one, about forty or fifty in number, forming a phalanx and blocking the exit of the passage.
Bai Ye had no choice but to stop and look at the King of Huainan, "Are you giving me no way out at all?"
The King of Huainan sneered and extended his hand towards Bai Ye, "Return what belongs to me, and I will give you a quick death."
