The King of Huainan only saw a blur before his eyes, and a figure shot past from beneath him.
The next moment, Bai Ye pushed off the ground with his palm and leaped up.
"Bye-bye!"
Bai Ye had no intention of fighting the King of Huainan. Since he couldn't kill him, what was the point of fighting?
The King of Huainan turned in anger, intending to pursue, but at this moment, the Frost Sword transformed into a beam of light and flashed past the King of Huainan, stirring up a large wave of cold that covered the King of Huainan, slowing his speed.
Running out of the passage, Bai Ye returned to the previous tomb chamber. Just then, a man ran out from another passage.
Bai Ye looked up and saw a familiar face, his 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, "Bro, running for your life?"
Bai Ye nodded, "You too?"
"Yeah, yeah." The man pointed to the other passage, "I'll go this way then?"
"Okay!" 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 passages, only to...
Half a minute later, they both ran back out of the passages.
Bai Ye asked, "Why did you come back?"
"Damn it!" The man cursed, "There are more Yin soldiers this way, over twenty of them. Is it the same on your side?"
"I don't have that many," Bai Ye said, running past the man, "Just one."
The man looked at Bai Ye's retreating back with disdain, "What's there to be afraid of with just one? Just kill it!"
As the man spoke, he looked back at the passage Bai Ye had come from, then gasped. A huge bone claw was reaching out towards him!
"Holy crap, is your one the King of Huainan?"
Bai Ye heard the scream from behind and silently prayed for the man, wishing him a good life!
At this moment, 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 serrated blade, then leaped forward, kicking a Yin soldier in the face and knocking it to the ground. He then swept the serrated blade horizontally, slashing at the approaching Yin soldiers.
Those Yin soldiers were not strong, but they were troublesome due to their ubiquity. Their main purpose was to slow down the escape, allowing the King of Huainan to pursue.
After a horizontal sweep, Bai Ye reduced two Yin soldiers to ashes, then kicked another Yin soldier in the chest, knocking it to the ground. He raised the serrated blade and thrust it forcefully into the ground, piercing the Yin soldier's body.
At the same time...
The Frost Sword, suspended behind Bai Ye, also flew forward, transforming into a beam of light that danced around Bai Ye's body, cutting the throats of the two Yin soldiers surrounding him.
Having dealt with the group of Yin soldiers with lightning speed, Bai Ye continued to run forward. Upon reaching the end of the passage, Bai Ye's eyes lit up.
Exiting 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 before.
This was definitely good news, proving that Bai Ye was not just going in circles within the same area. Although the exit of the King of Huainan's tomb was still quite far, he had at least managed to get out a little.
And at this very moment, quite a few people had gathered inside the hall, seemingly in chaos.
Bai Ye was a little 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 chaos?
Then, Bai Ye quickly discovered the reason for their confusion.
In the center of the hall, a jade Ruyi floated, entwined with a faint white glow, looking extremely beautiful.
There was no doubt that this was another of the King of Huainan's collections, likely unearthed from some hidden tomb. However, it had clearly not been hidden well, leading to a scramble for it.
Bai Ye was not interested in it. How could that thing be more powerful than the Five Spirits Disk he held?
His priority now was to protect the Five Spirits Disk and leave this place.
But just as Bai Ye was about to cross the hall and head for the passage on the opposite side...
A large patch of purplish-black smoke suddenly appeared, spreading rapidly forward, churning like a tide.
The next second, the King of Huainan appeared at the entrance of the passage, piercing through the ceiling and descending from above.
"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 surged!
As the wind swept forward, those caught in it felt as if something heavy had struck their chests, sending them flying backward.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the hall, without understanding what was happening, fell to the ground, wailing.
Bai Ye was also hit by the eerie wind, sent flying backward, and crashed heavily onto the ground. At the same time, he felt a sweetness in his throat. He tilted 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 floated forward, trailing a wisp of purple smoke, and instantly appeared before Bai Ye. A bone hand grabbed Bai Ye's throat, pinning him to the ground.
The feeling of suffocation instantly struck. Bai Ye gritted his teeth, swept the serrated blade in his hand, and struck the King of Huainan's wrist, directly severing the bone hand. He then flipped over, creating distance between himself and the King of Huainan.
The King of Huainan glanced at his bare wrist but paid it no mind. The smoke swirling around him surged towards him, enveloping his wrist, and a new bone hand grew back.
The King of Huainan smiled sinisterly and looked at Bai Ye, saying, "Useless!"
Of course, he knew it was useless. If it were useful, he would have killed this bastard long ago!
Bai Ye muttered inwardly, then sprang to his feet with a powerful move and sprinted to the side, intending to circle around and head for the passage exit.
However...
"Ah, ah, ah..."
The King of Huainan shook his body, and the smoke swirling around him surged wildly outwards, knocking over everyone who had just gotten up.
At the same time...
The exit of the passage...
*Clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank...*
The sound of armor clashing echoed continuously, and then, one by one, Yin soldiers began to appear, numbering forty to fifty. They formed a phalanx, blocking the exit of the passage.
Bai Ye had no choice but to stop and look at the King of Huainan, "Are you leaving me no way out?"
The King of Huainan sneered and extended his hand towards Bai Ye, "Return my belongings, and I can give you a swift death."
