Sage of Humanity

Facing this fierce strike, Lu Ye did not dodge or evade, but fiercely struck down at the youth!

A fiery red light flashed over the blade, making it seem as if the long saber were ablaze.

Startled by Lu Ye's ferocity, the youth was taken aback and hurriedly changed his move to block with his sword.

With a clang, at the moment the saber met the sword, the longsword nearly flew out of his hands, and the youth was forced to retreat repeatedly by the force of the blow.

The shock in his eyes intensified, but before he could make another move, Lu Ye's long saber was already coming down on him like a torrential rainstorm.

Since leaving Qingyun Mountain, as long as conditions allowed, Lu Ye had insisted on practicing his saber skills for over four hours daily. Although such practice might not allow him to master any profoundly mystical techniques, it did solidify his foundation greatly.

Moreover, with the experience accumulated from numerous fights over these days, Lu Ye was no longer the naive young man who had just left Qingyun Mountain.

He had gradually formed his own combat style which was fierce and aggressive, for he relied on Defense Spirit Runes. If the youth had not hastily changed his move to block the first strike, that hit could have split him in two.

The youth's caution had led him to walk a circle at death's door, but that was it...

The sound of clangs continued non-stop, with each strike forcing the youth to retreat three steps. Under the strong force, the webs of his hands started to split.

A wail tore through his heart. Where did this madman come from? Engaging in combat with such intense aggression. Moreover, despite being at the same Level 4 cultivation, his strength was far inferior to this madman's.

As the opponent wielded his saber, the blood Qi energy around his body surged, giving him the illusion that the man in front of him was like a ferocious beast that had broken out of its cage, ready to devour someone.

He caught sight of two junior brothers encircling from behind through the corner of his eye. If he could just hold on for 5 breaths, he could join forces with them to surround the enemy.

As he retreated, he reached into his storage sack, just managing to pull out a Spirit Talisman to use when he heard a crisp snap...

Shocked, the youth caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of his longsword breaking in two. The broken blade flew off at an angle, followed immediately by a numb sensation spreading across his body, freezing him in place.

His vision began to tilt, and the last thing he saw was a half of a body that looked strikingly familiar.

Is that my body? The youth's consciousness faded.

As blood spurted out, a tiger's roar came from Amber on the right, followed by terrified shouts. On the left, there was the sound of something cutting through the air as another hidden enemy shot an arrow at Lu Ye.

However, this arrow missed its mark, likely because the youth's death had unsettled the ambusher's mind.

It wasn't just him whose mind was unsettled, but also the two cultivators who had rushed to a position not far behind Lu Ye.

The Tailuo Sect had a total of five cultivators stationed on this mountain peak: one Level 4, two Level 3, and two Level 2.

Such an arrangement wasn't very strong, but this was the rear of the Tailuo Sect, so there was no need for a powerful lineup. The cultivators from Qing Yu wouldn't be able to reach this place if the frontline peaks didn't fall, making it one of the safest positions.

The reason for stationing people here was just in case, a safeguard.

Yet, what was supposed to be an infallible arrangement was disrupted by Lu Ye's arrival.

The two Tailuo Sect cultivators who had run up behind Lu Ye now felt as if they were doused with cold water on a winter's day, chilling them to the core.

They watched in horror as their senior brother at Level 4 was cleaved in two by an unexpected visitor within a mere 5 breaths, their fright and panic skyrocketing instantly.

This caused them to suddenly stop their advance, now less than ten feet away from Lu Ye.

Lu Ye turned around, his longsword pointing diagonally at the ground, with fresh blood dripping from the blade.

He stomped his feet on the ground, creating a crater where he stood, and in a few steps, he reached the two terrified cultivators of the Tailuo Sect.

In the face of life and death, these two finally unleashed their potential and charged at Lu Ye together.

After a clanging exchange of blows, both Level 3 cultivators staggered backward, wide open to attack.

The gap in cultivation meant that, even together, they couldn't block Lu Ye's several strikes.

The longsword, imbued with spirit force, drew a fiery red arc in front of him, this time even omitting the Sharpness spirit runes.

Experience tales with empire

As screams rang out, the chests of the two struck opened up, a faint smell of charred flesh emanating from the wounds, one fell to the ground, the other staggered back.

Lu Ye stepped forward and stabbed the longsword into the heart of the cultivator who had fallen, without pausing for a moment, he drew his sword and slashed towards the other.

However, from the corner of his eye, he spotted an arrow shooting towards him, which he sliced in half with his sword.

Just as he was about to finish off the other still struggling Level 3 cultivator, the man had already fallen to the ground, Lu Ye's earlier strike had severed his heart…

An extremely miserable scream came from one side, Lu Ye turned his head and saw Amber biting the neck of a female cultivator, blood spurting from her mouth. The female cultivator, still clutching a bow, struggled under Amber but couldn't shake her in the least.

This female cultivator was only at Level 2, hiding in a tree shooting arrows at Lu Ye. Amber had headed straight here when she parted from Lu Ye. If it were only Amber, perhaps she would have had no way to deal with her since the woman was up in a tree, but with Yiyi, it was different.

Yiyi appeared right behind the female cultivator and pushed her down with force.

Having followed Lu Ye, Amber had enjoyed good food every day, consuming countless Spirit-Nurturing Pills, growing significantly in strength. Together with Yiyi, they easily subdued this Level 2 cultivator.

Ignoring the female cultivator, Lu Ye looked to the side.

There had been two who attacked him with arrows, one was bitten by Amber; there was still another.

But when Lu Ye looked that way, he saw that this fellow had already run more than a dozen yards away.

Lu Ye was about to chase with his sword but suddenly remembered something and raised his hand toward the man's back, where a fiery-red spirit force began to gather in his palm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Pure spirit force formed a large fire quail, which flapped its wings and soared forward like an arrow released from its bow.

In the blink of an eye, the fire quail grazed the fleeing cultivator and smashed into a large tree, igniting flames.

It didn't hit...

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, spirit force gathering again in his palm, this time slightly adjusting the direction.

The second fire quail flew out, hitting the man in the back with a booming explosion. As if struck by lightning, the man fell to the ground, his back scorched. He twitched a few times and then fell silent. The power of the Red Lotus Soaring to Sky Technique infused in the spell was indeed impressive.

A small red light flew from there and landed in the palm of Lu Ye's hand.

Lu Ye looked around and frowned, "What's this all about?"

This battle had come out of nowhere; he had only mistaken the enemy's signals, and they had rushed to kill him without even asking which side he was on.

Since they were so ruthless, Lu Ye naturally didn't hold back, and only after he had finished them off did he confirm that these guys belonged to the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge camp. It seemed he hadn't killed the wrong people.
