Hu Guang was taken aback, the secret technique of the Six-tailed Fox Demon clan was an extrely exquisite illusion technique, and he himself was a master at playing with illusions, so he realized sothing was wrong as soon as he noticed it.
Lu Ye from Three Worlds Island was actually adept at illusion techniques, and on this path, he was even stronger than him!
Full of bitterness, he never expected such an outrageous event to happen; just a human race combat cultivator, how could he cultivate such profound and exquisite illusion techniques?
Ridiculously, he had actually thought of attracting Lu Ye's attention to maximize the power of his secret technique, little did he know that this was exactly what the other party intended.
Moreover, if he hadn't also been deploying the secret technique, even though the other party had profound knowledge in this path, it wouldn't have affected him so fiercely; after all, he was at Moon Jade Late Stage, his psyche cultivation was extrely powerful, how could he be so easily defeated?
Hu Guang's thoughts were correct, if Lu Ye simply used Blood Eye Spirit Runes against him, he might have been affected to so extent, but it would never be as terrifying as it was now.
But both were deploying secret techniques, and of the sa type, this was equivalent to both competing in this domain, Lu Ye's skill was superior, Blood Eye Spirit Runes were inherited from Blood Ancestor, how could they be compared to the secret technique of the Six-tailed Fox Demon clan? Thus, not only did Hu Guang suffer the influence of Blood Eye Spirit Runes, a greater part was the backlash from his own secret technique being broken.
This double blow made his situation unbelievably dire.
And in Bao Youyou's view, after Hu Guang issued a fierce shout, he stood completely stiff on the spot, not moving at all, simply staring blankly at Lu Ye, while Lu Ye, holding a raised saber, the blade surged with mana, poised to slash!
With this strike, Hu Guang would inevitably face disaster.
Bao Youyou's eyes were full of anxiety, but it was soon replaced by resolve; her initially charging figure suddenly turned, and in an instant, she lunged in front of Hu Guang, letting out a leopard roar, revealing her true demon form, a lithe and slender leopard covered in markings, with her left forelimb missing from the recent battle.
She opened her mouth, and a brilliant light manifested, ready to spray it at Lu Ye.
It was her demonic pill cultivated for over a thousand years, a desperate technique; under normal circumstances, the Demon Race would not use the demonic pill to vie, for the risk was too great, if the demonic pill was damaged, the foundation would be injured, if destroyed, the results would be even worse.
Undeniably, Bao Youyou's response was quick, and it was the only way to save Hu Guang.
The demonic pill erged, compressing violent energy within, eting the incoming long saber.
At the mont of contact, Lu Ye's expression turned solemn, as imnse pressure emanated from ahead, the terrifying force sohow made his saber unable to strike down swiftly, even showing signs of being pressed back.
No wonder it was the Demon Race's desperate technique, truly not to be underestimated.
"Ugh…" Bao Youyou suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood, confronting the Boulder Mountain Saber with her demonic pill, a re mont of contact already damaged her demonic pill, directly reflected back to her body, leaving her absolutely terrified, the opponent's long saber... how incredibly sharp, actually cleaved open the dense Demon Origin concentrated around her demonic pill, creating a notch.
Little did she know, Lu Ye's Boulder Mountain Saber was ford by a powerful Combat Race mber, and after Lu Ye ascended to Moon Jade, the Boulder Mountain Saber underwent a transformation, its sharpness unmatched, coupled with Lu Ye's Divine Sharp Edge Spirit Runes, it could be said that if not for her demonic pill's robustness, this slash would have directly split it open.
At this mont, the most correct response undoubtedly was to activate the demonic pill to avert the Boulder Mountain Saber's blade, but she couldn't do that, for her demonic pill was followed by herself, behind her was Hu Guang, truly avoiding it would allow the Boulder Mountain Saber to make them a pair of dood lovers.
Not only couldn't she do that, she had to strive even harder to activate the demonic pill.
Fortunately, the feedback from the demonic pill revealed she'd gained the upper hand in the clash, Lu Ye was struggling to support.
However, in the next mont, Lu Ye's saber stance suddenly altered, the power on the long saber layered and stacked, like tidal waves.
Tidal Sea Ten Thousand Waves!
This reward from Constellation Palace aided Lu Ye a lot during his Constellation phase, giving him the ability to barely fight Moon Jade magic with spirit force, though with Lu Ye's increasingly powerful cultivation strength, it was rarely used now.
But in this world, no secret technique was useless, it depended on the timing of its application.
Facing the extrely violent demonic pill, this secret technique would undoubtedly yield miraculous effects.
The pressure from the long saber rapidly weakened, Lu Ye twisted the saber, as brilliant as a Bright Pearl, the demonic pill was sent flying.
Bao Youyou's face suddenly turned pale, watching helplessly as the long saber descended upon her, yet she no longer had the strength to resist, in haste, she could only lift her right forelimb above her head while her long leopard tail behind her snapped fiercely.
When the Boulder Mountain Saber fell, the large leopard form froze, followed by the right forelimb dropping, the entire body splitting in half.
Another burst of exclamations erupted from the observing cultivators afar.
The events from Hu Guang shouting Lu Ye's na, to Bao Youyou rushing forward to block, spitting out the demonic pill for a desperate strike, and then Lu Ye killing her, all occurred within just the span of two breaths.
In just two breaths, a powerful Demon Race Moon Jade was slain in broad daylight!
Everyone witnessed Lu Ye's calm deanor, and couldn't help but be horrified by his terrifying strength, finally understanding the weight of being the foremost under the Sun Blaze.
Bao Youyou's body split open, blood bursting forth like a blossoming flower, revealing Hu Guang who had been hidden behind her.
It was only at that mont that clarity slowly returned to Hu Guang's eyes.
Thanks to Bao Youyou striking him once with her tail before dying, the force was applied with extre precision, both freeing Hu Guang from the illusion and leaving him unhard, even propelling him several hundred feet away.
As soon as his vision cleared, Hu Guang witnessed a scene that made his eyes almost pop out.
A huge leopard body split open, blood and viscera spilled out, he was stunned, muttering, "Junior Sister Bao?"
As his voice faded, a palpable killing intent descended, along with Lu Ye's silhouette rushing in from several hundred feet away.
Hu Guang didn't know exactly what had happened, but he knew Bao Youyou died for him, grieving deeply, yet he forcibly suppressed it because he realized from the brief clash he was no match for Lu Ye.
So, seeing Lu Ye charging, he turned to flee without thinking.
He had already seen Lion Heart quickly approaching from afar, so he had a chance to survive if he could hold on for ten breaths.
In a battle, exposing one's back to the enemy is extrely unwise, but Hu Guang had no other choice at the mont.
Seeing Hu Guang begin to flee, Lu Ye's eyes flashed as he pursued, channeling his Divine Soul Power to quickly sketch out the Divine Sharp Edge runes!
The spirit runes he acquired early on from the Talent Tree basically could only be sketched using spirit force, the most orthodox form of spirit runes.
But after the Talent Tree's evolution, these spirit runes were no longer constrained to one form. For instance, the Divine Sharp Edge, sketched with mana would be spirit runes, but sketched with soul power they beco divine runes.
In duels, Lu Ye rarely uses divine runes, because any enemy greatly values their psyche defense, and even if they don't cultivate psyche protective secret techniques, they will have soul treasures guarding their Divine Sea. Hastily using soul power to sketch divine runes in a duel is unrewarding and affects performance.
Only cultivators at the Sun Blaze level have a qualitative leap in psyche power, frequently using psyche power during duels.
Normally, even if Lu Ye used divine runes against Hu Guang, they wouldn't be very effective. This guy is from the Six-tailed Fox Demon clan, their psyche power is certainly strong.
But his secret technique was broken, suffering significant backlash, making his psyche likely unstable now, and his psyche defense probably full of vulnerabilities, a weakness to exploit.
The formless and invisible psyche power sketches into shape, transforming into an invisible arrow, targeting Hu Guang fleeing ahead.
Oblivious Demon Race Constellations attempted to block the way, Lu Ye casually slew them.
Hu Guang groaned, but didn't slow his pace; seeing this, Lu Ye held nothing back, continuously sketching Divine Sharp Edge runes like a tidal wave.
Hu Guang's psyche defenses couldn't withstand such onslaught, after Lu Ye launched nearly twenty divine runes, Hu Guang suddenly scread miserably, collapsing on the ground.
A few hundred feet, Lu Ye quickly crossed the distance, stepping on his back, perceiving Hu Guang's incredibly weak aura, drenched in sweat and trembling, a clear sign of severe psyche injury, his consciousness likely muddled now.
Otherwise he'd still have so fight left, not so easily crushed like this by Lu Ye.
This was the mont to kill the enemy!
Lu Ye raised his saber, ready to strike down.
"Stop!" An angry shout ca from afar, it was Lion Heart rapidly returning after sensing sothing was amiss, indeed, during Lion Heart's return, the Talent Tree Avatar tried to intercept but the thods it could deploy without the sword gourd were limited, moreover, Lu Ye was fully engaged in battle here, hence being unable to properly control the Talent Tree Avatar.
From far away, Lion Heart witnessed Bao Youyou's tragic death, heart bleeding yet powerless to stop it, and now seeing Hu Guang about to perish, couldn't endure further but was initially lured away, needing ti to return, too late to rescue.
Lu Ye turned his head, seeing Lion Heart's frenzied anger from afar, crouched down, reaching out to grab Hu Guang's blurry consciousness head, and hoisting him up, he then kicked his calf, forcing him to kneel facing Lion Heart's direction while standing behind Hu Guang, holding the Boulder Mountain Saber horizontally against his neck!
