As the Constellation Mid-Stage target of Lu Ye was eliminated, the remaining nine people from both sides realized one thing: this squad of misfits that suddenly charged in was not just here to spectate, but to cause trouble. And their strength was quite formidable.
Lu Ye's magic and spells spread out once again, targeting another Constellation Mid-Stage. With the previous example serving as a warning, this person tried to avoid the assault upon sensing danger, yet still moved a step too slow. Hastily defending against several spells left him without strength, seeing himself about to follow in his companion's footsteps, a burly figure charged forward to him, blood Qi surging around and expanding into a layer of crimson shadow, forming a solid defense.
The physique cultivator of the team had stepped forward to protect him.
Nurous spells struck, causing the crimson shadow to shake. The physique cultivator gawked; he only saw soone get eliminated earlier and knew the opponent's strength was formidable. Now, having personally felt it, he realized the incoming force's might.
If he were not a physique cultivator, with thick defenses, others might have been unable to withstand it.
Even though the one casting spells was just a Constellation Mid-Stage…
But the most shocking part was yet to co, as the squad of misfits, the three of them, showed no intention of changing direction, charging straight at him.
The physique cultivator was infuriated.
The leader of the squad of misfits was clearly a magic cultivator. Given that he was a magic cultivator, he should be performing spells from a distance, yet now he intended to engage in close combat, clearly underestimating him.
Not only did the physique cultivator realize Lu Ye's intentions, but also Chu Shen and Lucky Star, who were linked with him in the array.
Initially, seeing Lu Ye eliminate one opponent, Chu Shen felt secretly thrilled, thinking that the powerhouse ranked high in the Cumulated Points Ranking truly lived up to the reputation. He felt he was lucky to cling onto a powerful ally, gladly playing a supporting role.
Now Lu Ye charged directly at the physique cultivator, with a firm expression and imnse montum, making his heart beat faster.
Yet, the physique cultivator was a Constellation Late Stage, just like him, leaving both wondering what Lu Ye was trying to do.
Would charging into their battlefield lead to any good outco? He even felt the urge to exit the array, lest he suffer with Lu Ye.
But in the next mont, he gritted his teeth, tightly following Lu Ye.
He rembered Fa Wuzun's earlier advice, to trust him and Lucky Star to so extent. Hence, he concluded that soone ranking within the top twenty with a mid-stage cultivation in the Cumulated Points Ranking couldn't be an idiot. There must be a reason behind such actions!
Of course, the main reason for his decision was his possession of life-saving treasures. Under the rules of Constellation Palace, he felt confident he faced no life-threatening risk. Since there was no threat to his life, going wild seed to present no significant issue.
Just having made up his mind, his expression turned slightly bewildered, seeing Fa Wuzun ahead unexpectedly holding a pitch-black long blade…
Imdiately followed by a mountain-shaking collision, a rampant spirit force swept across, accompanied by an angry shout and a muffled grunt.
Chu Shen clearly sensed that the array of the three was slightly impeded for an instant, then quickly smoothened out. In the connection of the Qi channels, he followed closely behind Lu Ye, slipping past the obstructing physique cultivator.
In the corner of his vision, he glimpsed the crimson bloom, with a palpable blood-red aroma lingering at the tip of his nose.
His expression slightly twisted with confusion, thinking if he didn't misjudge earlier, he seed to witness sothing extraordinary…
Glancing hurriedly aside confird a mind-boggling scene: the burly physique cultivator blocking the way was now clutching his neck and falling sideways, with blood surging like tides between his fingers, half of his neck cleaved!
The bright red hue made Chu Shen's pupils shrink, for such a grievous injury seed almost fatal, particularly for a physique cultivator known for their tough skin and flesh!
He even suspected this was deliberately held back by Fa Wuzun; otherwise, the injury couldn't have been so adeptly managed, not claiming life yet causing enough loss of combat strength.
Thinking this way, Fa Wuzun's actual strength surpassed his prior expectations.
Soon, he saw nurous spells, along with a blanket of Sword Qi, sweeping in from all directions. Evidently, the cultivators from the two previously battling squads were attacking them.
The two groups, initially engaged in fierce combat, were struck with animosity by the strong third-party, instantaneously setting aside their differences. Though they hadn't fully joined forces, they were counteracting together, especially the group that lost a physique cultivator, attacked particularly fiercely.
Chu Shen cried out, swiftly summoning a protective spirit treasure, shielding the three of them.
He held few other possessions, but was rich in protective spirit treasures, all thanks to having a supportive mother.
As the nurous attacks approached, Lu Ye maneuvered his body, dodging so, while others were blocked by Chu Shen's protective spirit treasure, and a few halted by Lucky Star's thods.
This round of attacks shone dazzlingly bright, yet failed to inflict any harm on the trio.
Chu Shen was invigorated; he realized that under the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc, the power of his spirit treasures escalated compared to usual, offering significantly stronger protection.
This was to be expected; he was after all a Constellation Early Stage. Despite holding excellent spirit treasures, their deployed power was discounted, yet enabling borrowing of strength allowed full unleashing of their power.
In exhilarating spirits, he blurted out: "Fellow Daoist, leave the protection to us, just keep slashing!"
As he spoke, Lu Ye already swung out another slash, seemingly striking empty space, but as the blade descended, a startled cry rang out, an epheral and spectral figure appeared, seemingly running into the blade.
This person held a dirk, with spirit light flickering like snake tongues, preparing to ambush Lucky Star from the side…
This is clearly a Ghost Cultivator.
More blood-shot flying swords burst forth, and the Ghost Cultivator's figure flew out like a tattered sack.
Lu Ye didn't pause, changing direction, heading directly into the chaos of assaults coming from the front and side, his eyes locking on a sword cultivator who was activating flying swords.
Seeing this, the sword cultivator dared not confront him head-on!
From the ti this crippled squad appeared until now, it had been only a brief ten breaths, yet in that ti, three people had already fallen victim, including one Late Stage physique cultivator.
Sword light erupted around him, and he dodged to the side, aiming to rendezvous with his companions while avoiding Lu Ye's lethal assault, and at the sa ti, a Sword Shower fell like a waterfall.
Ignoring it all, Lu Ye charged mightily, the oncoming Sword Shower was blocked by Chu Shen's spirit treasure and Lucky Star together, and if any attack slipped through, he could activate the Sacred Guard to fend it off.
With a wave of his hand, a ntal-lashing Whip lashed out, the long whip condensed of refined spirit force striking the sword cultivator from a distance, causing him to stagger.
As soon as he steadied himself, he despairingly found that Lu Ye had already closed in.
"Help !" the sword cultivator shouted, and in the distance, a companion hurriedly rushed over, but still a step too slow. As the long blade descended, the blade light was like snow, the sword cultivator's protective spirit light shattered, blood gushing all over as he was grievously injured in an instant.
Showing rcy, Lu Ye turned his blade towards the cultivator who ca to the rescue.
That person's face turned pale, cursing himself for being so impulsive and running so fast…
By the ti Lu Ye finished dealing with this cultivator and looked around, there was no one in sight.
The two groups of ten who had been fiercely battling, now with him joining with Chu Shen and Lucky Star, only five were left alive, and they weren't even from the sa team.
Seeing such a ferocious opponent, who would dare to stay? They dispersed like birds and beasts, using various techniques to flee in all directions, planning to escape first and then decide on a course of action.
However, how could Lu Ye let them escape? For him, solving these enemies wasn't difficult, the challenge was in tracking them down. If they escaped now, it would be troubleso to find them later.
Amidst a burst of blood light, the sound of roaring rivers resonated, akin to angry sea waves.
The blood light spread suddenly, enveloping the area, transforming into a thick Blood Sea.
All along, Lu Ye had avoided using the Blood Sea Technique openly, and even when he did, he pursued a result of complete annihilation. The more tactics he concealed, the more he could catch enemies off guard when encountering a formidable foe.
But... what does Fa Wuzun's use of the Blood Sea Technique have to do with Lu Yiye?
The five fleeing individuals didn't escape the Blood Sea's range, but being seasoned warriors, they knew the secret technique derived from the Blood Race had a major flaw — it severely drained the spirit force of a cultivator. So, at the mont they were enveloped by the Blood Sea, each used thods to crazily attack in all directions.
This approach was undoubtedly wise, as it could prevent sneak attacks and exacerbate the enemy's drain from using this technique.
The five believed it wouldn't take long for this Blood Sea to crumble on its own.
The premise was that they could hold out until then.
But how could Lu Ye give them that chance?
If he were alone, using such a technique to trap five Constellation Stage cultivators might indeed require so effort, and they might truly succeed.
But at this mont, he wasn't fighting alone.
Under the shroud of the Blood Sea, Lu Ye was acutely aware of their positions. Leading Chu Shen and Lucky Star, he navigated through the Blood Sea, easily locating and eliminating the enemies one by one.
Monts later, the Blood Sea dissipated, and Lu Ye's trio stood midair, spotless.
Several figures with weak auras and complex expressions remained, each heavily injured without exception.
The first physique cultivator Lu Ye dealt with was also present, his neck half-slashed open. Although still combat-capable, he hadn't attacked since feeling the restraint given, realizing the goodwill, and knew better than to respond with hostility.
He gave Lu Ye a deep look, clasped his fist, and said, "I have learned!"
As his words fell, his figure disappeared, obviously returning to the Constellation Palace for healing.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your rcy!" Another voice spoke—it was the sword cultivator who had cried for help earlier.
The other remaining individuals expressed their gratitude likewise and withdrew from the scene.
In an instant, the originally chaotic battleground cleared, becoming bright and tranquil.
