Chapter 137 Breaking the Seven Star Formation
"Go forward and find the exit." Ye Qingyu said calmly.
"Then I'll explore the way ahead." Qing Yi said as he was about to move forward.
"No, I'll do it." Ye Qingyu decisively refused. Qingfeng was injured, and Qingyi had just consumed a lot of internal energy. How could he let them take risks again?
"Xiao Ye, let me go ahead. What if there are any hidden weapons?" Qing Yi had just experienced a rainstorm of hidden weapons and knew the danger of touching the mechanism.
"Qing Yi, there are traps everywhere in the formation. I believe you, but don't you believe me?" Ye Qingyu looked at Qing Yi.
"I..." Qing Yi was speechless for a moment. Yes, Xiao Ye was no playboy; he was also a master in the martial arts world, possessing extraordinary abilities. However, he was the one he loved, the master Qing Feng swore allegiance to, so both he and Qing Feng instinctively wanted to protect him.
"Okay, it's decided. You must follow my steps and not make a single mistake." Ye Qingyu instructed again.
"Okay." Qing Yi nodded.
Ye Qingyu and the other two leaped down, fortunately Qing Yi had already broken the formation's core. Once they landed and settled, they looked up to see the ground and walls densely covered with all manner of hidden weapons, like a web of death woven from sharp blades. The sight was horrifying. Just from the strewn mess of hidden weapons, one could imagine the sheer danger Qing Yi had endured.
Ye Qingyu quickly scanned the area, then without hesitation headed in the direction Kanwei pointed, lowering his voice and saying, "Follow me closely, this way."
Qing Yi and Qing Feng hurriedly responded, not daring to be careless. They were completely focused, carefully following the footprints left by Ye Qingyu, taking every step with extreme caution.
After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Qingyu walked along the way without encountering any obstacles at all. The cave road was flat, and the originally dark place gradually began to show a little light.
"Haha, we're finally getting out!" Qing Yi was delighted. However, before he could finish his words, Ye Qingyu, who was leading the charge, suddenly stopped. Qing Yi couldn't stop in time and almost bumped into him. He hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ye, what's wrong?"
Ye Qingyu said in a deep voice: "Don't move, there is danger ahead." After that, he did not move at all, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, the icy black iron sword in his hand was tightly grasped, and the cold light was sharp.
According to the book, "If you want to devour a person's soul, you will win if you come out. This is a simple technique."
The book does not explain this phrase in detail, but Ye Qingyu intuitively felt that the place where it came out might be the place full of dangers.
"Qingfeng, how is your wound?" Ye Qingyu tilted his head slightly and his eyes fell on Qingfeng.
Qingfeng quickly straightened his back and replied respectfully: "My lord, I am fine now." The Lingxiao ointment is indeed a secret medicine in the palace, and it is still useful.
The bleeding from Qingfeng's injured arm had stopped. Although the wound still felt a sharp, piercing pain, it was still bearable for someone like him, who had been exposed to the world of swords and swords since childhood and had practiced martial arts for many years. However, the injury happened to his right arm, so he could only wield the sword with his left hand, making it extremely difficult to perform many of his moves. After all, he was not as gifted as his master, who could wield the sword with both hands.
"Well, Qingyi, how much of your internal energy has recovered?" Ye Qingyu turned his gaze and looked at Qingyi again.
"What's wrong, Xiaoye? I'm fine." Qingyi asked.
"We have to break through the last level of the Seven Star Formation, the Corpse Formation, which is the strange formation formed by the forty-nine corpses we saw." Ye Qingyu's expression became more and more solemn.
"Oh, dealing with corpses!" Qing Yi's heart trembled, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his forehead. The images of those hideous corpses with strange movements emerged in his mind. He wondered to himself, will I have a nightmare tonight?
"Well, Qingfeng, you're in charge of the east and south, Qingyi, you're in charge of the west and north. Remember, don't injure any other parts of these corpses. Only stab three inches at the back of their heads. That's their vital point."
"What about you?" Qing Yi was worried. He had left the four directions, east, south, west, and north, to Qing Feng and himself. What was Xiao Ye doing? This corpse formation was extremely dangerous. Would he be in danger?
"I will be the bait, in the center of the formation, to attract their attention." Ye Qingyu said.
"Ah? How can you be the bait? This is too dangerous, let me do it!" Qing Yi said hurriedly.
"Master, let me be the bait." Qingfeng also rushed forward.
"You..." Ye Qingyu looked at the two people vying to protect him, feeling both angry and amused. Did these two actually think of him as someone so fragile? One had an injured arm, limiting his movements; the other had lost his internal energy and hadn't fully recovered, yet they were trying to protect him, someone who was unharmed.
"No need to say anything, just listen to me!" Ye Qingyu finally ordered forcefully, his tone carrying unquestionable authority. Seeing this, Qingfeng dared not disobey, and Qingyi had no choice but to listen.
The three of them exchanged glances, their minds connected without words. Ye Qingyu flashed, dashing towards the exit like a ghost, the icy black iron sword already unsheathed, its blade emitting a chilling cold light.
Qingfeng and Qingyi were waiting anxiously on the spot, their eyes fixed on the exit that Ye Qingyu had just come out of, ready to attack immediately at his command.
The so-called bait is to go deep into the formation and make all the corpses rush towards you, but you must not break the rules of the formation, otherwise it may cause the corpses to transform and become uncontrollable. Ye Qingyu knew that this trip was dangerous, but in order to break the formation and escape danger, this was the only way.
"Come out!" Ye Qingyu shouted. Qingyi and Qingfeng had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they heard Ye Qingyu's voice, they flew out with their swords in hand. They ran to their designated position. There were hidden weapons behind them and corpses in front of them, surrounding them. Qingyi was worried about Ye Qingyu. He glanced at the formation and saw that the white clothes were dyed blood red. "Is Xiaoye injured?"
Qing Yi was distracted for a moment, and a hidden weapon swished against his back. He quickly gathered his thoughts and, as Ye Qingyu had instructed, swung his sword and stabbed the three-inch acupoint on the back of the corpse's head.
Gradually, the number of corpses that could move dwindled, and the three finally had a chance to catch their breath. Ye Qingyu unleashed the Thousand Shadows Divine Sword, and the sword shadows crisscrossed, finally sweeping towards the last few corpses.
They finally succeeded in breaking through the Seven Star Formation, and the three of them finally escaped from the dangerous formation. They were neither trapped in the traps nor died from the dangers of the Seven Star Formation.
