88: Chapter 88: Someone has already collected the trap tax eight hundred years later!

Inside the escape tunnel.

"We can only fight, not flee!"

Yu Boyong let out an angry roar, stimulating the Spiritual Qi within his body, and swept a wave of Spiritual Qi coercion toward all the Yu Family members behind him.

This burst of Spiritual Qi coercion instantly dragged all the Yu Family members out of their fear by force.

Therefore, even though their hearts were still filled with fear, at this moment, all the Yu Family members gritted their teeth and prepared to fight to the death.

They successively pulled out their own weapons. The Martial Cultivator surged their qi and blood, while the Immortal Cultivator mobilized their Spiritual Qi, expressions of absolute determination showing on their faces.

It even carried a hint of tragic coloring of marching to their deaths.

It was as if they were still drawing their blades against an unbeatable enemy.

Seeing their posture, Qin Muyuan's expression did not change in the slightest.

He merely scrutinized the expression of Yu Boyong, who was at the lead, and then his left hand suddenly reached out and grabbed.

The next instant, a pillar large enough to hold a human suddenly appeared in Qin Muyuan's hand.

This pillar was collected into Qin Muyuan's backpack after he fought with Song Chengshan, the ruler of Huoyun Country, and smashed the palace pillars.

Seeing this, Qin Muyuan's five fingers on his left hand grabbed, and his fingers instantly pierced into the stone pillar as if it were tofu.

Shortly after, Qin Muyuan slightly bowed and rolled the pillar forward like throwing a bowling ball.

Click, click, click!

The stone pillar rolled all the way. When it reached between Qin Muyuan and Yu Boyong, a powerful Spiritual Qi suddenly surged and dissipated.

The magic array that was originally hidden in the tunnel was now clearly revealed.

The still-rolling stone pillar had not yet managed to cross the range of the magic array when it was hit head-on by a bone-chilling cold light shot from the array.

In an instant, the entire human-sized stone pillar was completely frozen and stagnated within the tunnel.

This scene stunned the group of Yu Family members behind who had no idea why a magic array had suddenly appeared.

As for Yu Boyong, his heart skipped a beat:

"Bad! How could he know..."

"You must be thinking, how did I know there was a trap here, right?"

Qin Muyuan's teasing voice rang out.

Qin Muyuan grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth:

"Fall into a trap, gain a bit of wisdom."

"Someone has already collected trap taxes up to eight hundred years into the future!"

In Qin Muyuan's mind, the image of Leon's Shirt being blown to pieces by firearms emerged.

That was a deep memory left in Qinghua County.

It was precisely that experience that made his intuition suddenly become sharp when he saw Yu Boyong not fleeing, but instead turning around to meet the battle.

Furthermore.

Previously, the arrows in his field of vision symbolizing Yu Boyong and the others had always been moving at high speed.

But just a short while ago, that speed had clearly slowed down.

"Suddenly slowing down while escaping, and upon realizing that I was pursuing them, instead of continuing to flee, they led the Yu Family members to actively attack me..."

"What on earth is this for?"

Qin Muyuan slightly bowed, the qi and blood within his body boiling like a furnace, and fierce winds seemed to rise beneath his feet.

"It is really so hard to guess!"

Rumble!

Qin Muyuan's figure rushed out, so fast that it was as if he disappeared from the retina in an instant.

"Damn it..."

Yu Boyong felt a chill down his spine and turned to flee.

The reason he had said he would meet the enemy earlier was naturally to trick Qin Muyuan and make Qin Muyuan fall into the freezing magic array.

This freezing magic array was a backup plan left by the Yu Family at the very beginning of building the escape tunnel.

Inside the escape tunnel, every certain distance, there was an attacking magic array.

Relying on a special trick, Yu Family members could trigger the magic array after passing through it, thereby attacking the enemy and delaying the enemy's pursuit.

Yu Boyong intentionally slowed down his pace precisely because this section happened to have an attacking magic array.

Missing this section, they would have to run for quite a long distance afterward before there was another attacking magic array.

And just now, when Yu Boyong roared and stimulated the Spiritual Qi coercion, he was actually triggering the magic array.

However.

No matter how Yu Boyong calculated, he never expected—

That Qin Muyuan actually didn't fall for it!

This magic array was a secret of his Yu Family, and the younger generation of the Yu Family had never even heard of it.

Yu Boyong completely could not understand how Qin Muyuan found out and guarded against it!

Seeing this, Yu Boyong grabbed a younger Yu Family member who hadn't reacted yet, swung his arm, and threw the younger member to the rear, making this younger member act as a human shield for him.

At the same time, Yu Boyong fully exerted his Spiritual Qi, shooting out rapidly and fleeing swiftly within the tunnel.

Beside him, another elder of the Yu Family and two other younger Yu Family members also performed the same operation.

By his side, another elder of the Yu Family and the remaining two younger Yu Family members also adopted the same approach.

They threw their clansmen beside them backward as shields, intending to hinder the footsteps of the pursuers behind and buy a glimmer of life for themselves.

At this point, the Yu Family's consistently hidden life-saving secret technique was fully displayed in the hands of these few Yu Family members.

Unfortunately.

Even with this level of life-saving secret technique, it could not delay much time.

After just two breaths of effort, they heard the sound of a long saber slicing through bones and flesh from behind.

Immediately followed by the sound of gushing blood and the miserable screams of several human shields dying.

And these screams and gushing blood sounds came quickly and went quickly.

After Qin Muyuan slashed to death several younger Yu Family members who actively stayed behind to cover the rear, he stepped again and quickly caught up with Yu Boyong and the group.

Blood light and thunder light condensed on the long saber. Under the bonus of the martial art [Normal Slash], its power doubled.

Regardless of whether it was Yu Boyong, the other elders, or the remaining few younger Yu Family members, it was impossible for them to escape.

Qin Muyuan twisted his waist, sea of corpses and blood carrying vigorous qi and blood and surging force, slashing towards the younger Yu Family member who fell at the very end.

Instantly, the younger Yu Family member was split into a Gan Family member and a Tu Family member.

The repeating part in the middle was two sections of intestines pulled out from the younger Yu Family member.

And the part that was missing was the junior of the younger Yu Family member.

After killing the younger member, Qin Muyuan continued with his hands raised and blades falling.

Immediately, fresh blood splashed all over the escape tunnel, and corpses fell one by one.

After a while, only Qin Muyuan remained inside the entire escape tunnel.

"Obtained a new ability?"

Seeing this, Qin Muyuan swept his gaze and looked toward Yu Boyong's corpse.

Before dying, he had wanted to pull out something to strike at himself.

But he was too slow.

Before he even had time to act, his protective Spiritual Qi was directly shattered by a slash from himself, and he was instantly killed.

Qin Muyuan picked up the Magic Treasure in Yu Boyong's hand that looked like an iron nail, shone with a faint flowing light, and emitted a slight Spiritual Qi.

He picked up the Magic Treasure and threw it directly into his mouth.

Crunch, crunch.

"Crunchy and crisp, tastes like chicken."

His teeth bit through the Magic Treasure, swallowing it into his abdomen.

Qin Muyuan opened his panel and took a look.
