Sage of Humanity Chapter 1966 - 1964: Repelling the Enemy

Moon Jade’s mory was naturally excellent, so both Lu Ye and Jyang An only needed a brief mont of reflection to recognize where they’d seen each other before.

Lu Ye’s expression remained calm, while Jyang An’s face was filled with shock.

Right then, Lu Ye’s figure, originally standing on the deck, suddenly blurred slightly...

Jyang An felt a chill run down his spine, as if a great crisis had arrived.

Without thinking, he fiercely activated his mana to protect himself, while his blood Qi surged, fists like dragons, punching forward.

Nothing was there before him initially, but in the instant he threw his punches, a figure appeared—it was Lu Ye.

This strike unleashed all of Jyang An’s power, confident that no Moon Jade could withstand it. The ferocious impact directly shattered Lu Ye’s body with its fierce might.

Jyang An paused, realizing sothing was wrong—the figure he shattered was rely a shadow!

His opponent’s speed was too fast, so fast he couldn’t quite see clearly.

This scene had occurred once before on the Moon Jade combat field! The experience then was identical to today!

Behind him!

Jyang An roared, swinging his arm in counterattack, but as soon as he assud a stance, he sensed the protective mana around him being breached, followed by sharp pain immobilizing him!

His eye twitched violently; he clearly saw a person had unknowingly stood beside him, holding a long saber that had pierced through his entire body from the waist!

Within that saber was concentrated an extrely overwhelming and pure mana; Jyang An was certain that if his opponent activated it, he would be dead imdiately!

Last ti in the combat field, he was defeated in exactly this manner. Though the combat field’s rules spared his life, a peculiar power lingered at the wound, and he spent three thousand Asura Seals to post a reward to find soone to help resolve it.

"Moon Jade ranking leader!"

It was only at this mont that Jyang An growled through clenched teeth, not out of reluctance, but to alert his companions to the identity of their formidable foe.

He knew there was no point in resisting any longer. Last ti, the rules of the combat field protected him, leaving him alive, but this ti he was surely dood!

Yet he couldn’t fathom why this Moon Jade ranking leader would be on Jiuxuan’s starboat. Could it be that he was originally from Jiuxuan? If so, why had he never heard of this person before?

As his words fell, Lu Ye kicked out, sending him flying, blood gushing from the wound like a fountain.

Lu Ye stood his ground, gently flicking the blood off the Boulder Mountain Saber, his gaze calmly scanning the invading enemies.

At this mont, whether it was the Moon Jade cultivators from Brahman Valley or Sun Zheng and the others from Jiuxuan, they all stood frozen, motionless.

Sun Zheng and his peers did not expect Lu Ye to act with such decisive swiftness, nor did they anticipate that the strongest from Brahman Valley, Jyang An, wasn’t even a match for him!

Such power, how astounding it was.

His strength was comparable to Jyang An’s, maybe even sowhat inferior, yet to see this Moon Jade ranking leader so effortlessly slay Jyang An ant he would be just as easily defeated.

How could there be such a huge disparity in strength between them being at the sa Moon Jade Late Stage?

Even though Sun Zheng had witnessed Lu Ye’s battle with Arbuluo, believing he understood the formidable weight of the Moon Jade ranking leader, it was only in this concrete comparison that he realized how shallow and laughable his prior understanding had been.

After a mont of stunned surprise, the Brahman Valley Moon Jades erupted with fury, shouting, "Together, attack him!"

They were enraged; though Jyang An had previously called out Lu Ye’s identity, they still didn’t retreat, simply because their numbers were several tis that of Jiuxuan’s side.

One person might not be a match, but what about two, three, or four?

Being Moon Jade cultivators, even if the Moon Jade ranking leader was incredibly strong, he would inevitably reach a point where he couldn’t fend off multiple foes.

As soon as the words dropped, over a dozen Moon Jade cultivators charged toward Lu Ye.

Sun Zheng, seeing this, quickly shouted in anger, "Defend!"

In the next mont, several Moon Jade cultivators from Jiuxuan swiftly moved to intercept the attackers, though their limited strength ant each could only block one Moon Jade cultivator, helpless to prevent Lu Ye from being surrounded by nearly ten opponents.

Sun Zheng couldn’t help but feel concerned; despite Lu Ye’s displayed terrifying prowess seeming awe-inspiring, human capacity has its limits. Should he fail to hold out, the entire starboat’s cultivators would suffer terribly.

Thus, he needed to quickly defeat his opponent and share Lu Ye’s burden. He had the confidence for it, as he specifically intercepted a much weaker enemy to rapidly reduce their nurical disadvantage.

Upon engaging, his opponent indeed retreated increasingly, allowing Sun Zheng a mont’s respite to glance toward Lu Ye, and at that sight, found himself montarily unable to tear his gaze away.

Amidst the chaotic battlefield, Lu Ye’s figure flitted back and forth, darting around rapidly. As he continuously maneuvered and teleported, the blade lights flickered and extinguished.

Sounds of muffled groans and screams rang one after another, with blood splattering everywhere...

Sun Zheng could hardly believe his eyes. He thought that with so many Moon Jades attacking Lu Ye, he would struggle to cope, no matter how strong he was. But in reality, it wasn’t like that at all. He had never seen soone with such agility. Although outnumbered, the opponents couldn’t effectively surround him—rather, they were getting injured one after another amid his swift maneuvers.

Suddenly, a pain shot through his body. Distracted, he had been hit by his opponent. Fortunately, there was a power gap between them, so with his mana protecting him, it wasn’t serious.

Sun Zheng quickly gathered his mind and focused on dealing with his opponent.

The screams still rang out.

But after just a dozen breaths, a familiar shout echoed in his ears, "Retreat, all retreat!"

Sun Zheng was stunned and looked towards the source of the voice in surprise, "Jyang An?"

He’s not dead?

On closer inspection, he realized not only was Jyang An alive, but none of the Brahman Valley Moon Jades injured by Lu Ye were dead either!

Taking advantage of his montary distraction, Sun Zheng’s opponent hurriedly withdrew and left quickly.

Lu Ye stood motionless, only watching as the Brahman Valley Moon Jades retreated. With him still, the Jiuxuan Moon Jades naturally didn’t dare to recklessly pursue. This victory owed much to his imnse contribution. Without him leading, chasing after the Jiuxuan Moon Jades would have been a path to self-destruction.

"Fellow Daoist Lu!" Sun Zheng approached, cupping his fists in salute to Lu Ye, his attitude undoubtedly more respectful than before.

Only when facing a Sun Blaze would a Late Stage Moon Jade like him show such respect.

Lu Ye’s gaze lingered leisurely in the direction the Brahman Valley Moon Jades had retreated, contemplating sothing unknown. Sun Zheng didn’t disturb him. After a mont, Lu Ye suddenly turned, cupped his fists, and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, most of Brahman Valley’s people are injured and should not co to offend again. Your world’s Sun Blaze should return soon. I shall take my leave."

Saying this, he looked up in the direction of the starboat, where Yuk Yaorao hurriedly rushed from the cabin to the deck, watching him from afar.

Lu Ye smiled at her, "Junior Sister Yuk, let’s et again if fate allows!"

With those words, he flicked away in a certain direction.

"Senior Brother Lu!" Yuk Yaorao reached out to call, but there was no further response. She could only watch as Lu Ye’s figure disappeared from sight, looking forlorn for a mont.

Monts later, Cen Xin, the Jiuxuan Sun Blaze, returned.

She engaged the Brahman Valley Sun Blaze in a skirmish. When the opponent retreated, she naturally wouldn’t pursue recklessly. Concerned for the ho galaxy cultivators’ safety, she hurried back to investigate.

She found that while the starboat’s Array was heavily damaged, surprisingly, there were no casualties. She found this hard to believe.

She had already prepared herself to gather the corpses of these juniors. After all, Brahman Valley caught them off guard, and the difference in Moon Jade numbers was so great.

After receiving Sun Zheng’s explanation, she understood the situation.

She also realized why the Brahman Valley Sun Blaze retreated so quickly—they knew this action failed and didn’t want to waste ti.

And the reason why their side was unhard was entirely due to the protection of that leading Moon Jade ranking cultivator, Lu Ye. Otherwise, there would have been heavy casualties.

She called for Yuk Yaorao, who was most familiar with Lu Ye, and inquired.

"Oh? He’s the one who helped you in the Taichu Realm, Lu Yiye?" Cen Xin showed a curious expression. She had indeed heard of this. Yuk Yaorao had remarkable aptitude in Jiuxuan World; otherwise, she wouldn’t have obtained the quota to go to the Reincarnation Tree. After gaining the spirit light from Taichu Realm, Yuk Yaorao’s prospects grew even broader. It could be said that Jiuxuan was grooming her as a key talent.

"You two indeed seem to have so fate, eting again in the Asura Field." Cen Xin nodded slightly.

Yuk Yaorao’s face turned a bit gloomy, but she still said, "Yes, Senior Brother Lu and I t in a training scenario. With his help, I could complete my trial." This was about their first eting. As for summoning Lu Ye with the Asura Summoning Token... she had no intention of ntioning it to anyone, as it involved a senior sister’s death.

"In these few decades, he’s cultivated from the Divine Sea to the Moon Jade Late Stage, and his strength is so outstanding!" Cen Xin was secretly shocked. Even though she was well-inford, she hadn’t heard of anyone with such rapid cultivation speed. This was beyond the description of genius.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Lu’s prowess is truly difficult to fathom. Jyang An was heavily injured with just one slash from him." Sun Zheng recalled the scene he witnessed earlier, still feeling shocked, and slightly lanted, "It’s a pity that Fellow Daoist Lu didn’t deliver the killing blow—none of those Brahman Valley Moon Jades died!"

Cen Xin replied, "After all, Brahman Valley and he have no grudge. He was involved rely by coincidence. Showcasing his strength appropriately to make the invader retreat voluntarily while avoiding entangling feuds—that’s seasoned behavior and probably his best handling. But whatever the case, he’s your lifesaver."

"Yes." Sun Zheng gave a respectful nod. With the strength Lu Ye displayed, he could have easily left, and nobody from Brahman Valley could have stopped him. Yet he still helped, likely significantly to protect Yuk Yaorao.

Cen Xin turned to Yuk Yaorao, "Such a person, their future achievents are boundless. If you’re interested, you’d better seize the opportunity."

"Ah?" Yuk Yaorao was stunned, promptly waved her hands, "Uncle-Master, I haven’t..."

Cen Xin smiled slightly, "Whether you do or not, you know best in your heart." She seed to recall sothing and sighed, "When you’re young, you should dare to think and do. Otherwise, when you’re old, many things will beco regrets."
