This was practically instigating his own subordinate in front of him. Lu Yu naturally wouldn't let him continue.
"Nonsense!" Lu Yu bellowed, "Don't try to be eloquent. Today will be the day you die!"
"Fine! You and I will have a showdown today! " Yang Qing suddenly urged his dragon steed to gallop out alone, stopping right in the middle of the battle formation. A five-petaled green lotus blossomed from between his brows as he pointed his spear at Lu Yu. "Old thief, don't drag the other brothers down with you. Do you dare to fight me alone?!"
Miao Yi realized that Yang Qing was truly courageous. He actually wanted to fight Lu Yu alone, as though taking him down wouldn't be a problem at all. This instantly boosted the morale of his side.
It should be known that in battles like this, the commander would usually not come out to fight first. He would try to minimize the consumption of transcendence energy. Otherwise, if someone took advantage of his lack of transcendence energy and turned against him, it would be no laughing matter.
Lu Yu had the advantage in numbers, more than double Yang Qing's. Naturally, he didn't want to fight Yang Qing one-on-one. His subordinates swarmed forward, directly destroying Yang Qing's wings, and then besieging him was the best way to ensure success.
But he didn't expect Yang Qing to challenge him alone in front of so many people, because his cultivation was a level higher than Yang Qing's.
Everyone on his side instantly focused their gazes on him, waiting to see if he dared to accept the challenge.
Xiong Xiao and the others on Mount Shaotai seemed to have discussed this beforehand. The Cave Masters immediately raised their arms and shouted, "Mountain Chieftain is mighty! Old scum Lu Yu, do you dare to accept the challenge! Mountain Chieftain is mighty! Old scum Lu Yu, do you dare to accept the challenge … "
Miao Yi and the others followed suit and shouted. Their voices shook the surroundings, and their morale was indeed greatly boosted.
On the other hand, Lu Yu's side was completely silent. Everyone was waiting to see if Lu Yu dared to accept the challenge.
Lu Yu had a faint suspicion that this was a trap.
Yang Qing pointed his spear at him again and shouted angrily, "You only know how to send your brothers to their deaths? Cowardly old scum! Do you dare to fight me to the death?! "
In an instant, he had forced Lu Yu into a dead end. If he didn't accept the challenge today, he would lose all face in front of his subordinates in the future.
If it was someone with a higher cultivation base than him, he could still avoid it for a while, and it wouldn't be considered embarrassing. However, if it was someone with a lower cultivation base than him, and it was his own subordinate who pointed at his nose and scolded him, it would be a joke if he didn't react at all.
Once his subordinates thought that he was just an empty shell, anyone would dare to learn from Yang Qing in the future. It could be said that there would be endless troubles in the future.
"Give me your life!"
Lu Yu let out a furious roar, and the silhouette of a six-petaled green lotus blossomed between his brows. The dragon steed beneath him dashed out like a gust of wind.
With the speed of a dragon steed, the short distance of a few hundred meters could be covered in an instant. The Square Sky Decorated Halberd in Lu Yu's hands hacked down furiously.
The silver spear that Yang Qing brandished faintly flickered with a green light, faintly transforming into an illusory image of a bull, which collided head-on with the incoming halberd.
Boom!
With a loud bang, transcendence energy vibrated, sending sand, rocks, and grass flying everywhere. Lu Yu, who was charging fiercely towards them, was forcefully forced to a halt. The dragon steeds beneath them neighed in unison, both finding it a little hard to endure. Fortunately, they had the protection of their masters' transcendence energy.
If it were any other horse, it would have broken all four of its limbs at the very least if it were to withstand such pressure. However, for dragon steeds that could gallop as fast as lightning, leg strength was their forte. Because of this, they became the favorite steeds and treasured horses of cultivators.
"So you have a Second Grade Yao Dan, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant!"
Lu Yu snorted disdainfully, and the Heavenly Halberd in his hand also glowed with a green light, faintly carrying the phantom of a bear, and he casually swept it out.
Yang Qing's shoulders shook, and the beast heads on the left and right shoulders of the armor suddenly came to life. In an instant, they expanded and turned into two clouds of silver mist. They quickly turned into two ferocious beasts formed from silver threads.
A tiger and a leopard, with a large upper body and a small lower body, seemed to have drilled out of Yang Qing's shoulder in an instant, and also seemed to be crouching on Yang Qing's shoulder. Both of them were faintly suffused with a green light.
A tiger and a leopard, in addition to the bull spear in Yang Qing's hand. Boom! Together, they withstood Lu Yu's fierce attack.
Lu Yu was taken aback and hurriedly brandished his ancient halberd to block. The two of them turned around and circled around each other, chasing each other from head to tail, fighting fiercely. The sand and pebbles they stirred up were like tornadoes, their auras extremely astonishing. If an ordinary human body didn't have enough energy to protect themselves, they would be torn to shreds the moment they got close.
As for Yang Qing, it was as if he had grown three heads and six arms. It was as if he was fighting three against one, causing Lu Yu to only have the strength to parry and retreat repeatedly.
It was Miao Yi's first time witnessing such a scene. He immediately transmitted his voice to Yan Xiu to ask what was going on.
After listening to Yan Xiu's explanation, he finally understood that Yao were not divided into grades. A First Grade Yao's cultivation was roughly equivalent to a White Lotus cultivator's cultivation, a Second Grade Yao was equivalent to a Blue Lotus cultivator, a Third Grade Yao was equivalent to a Red Lotus cultivator, and so on.
Yao Cores, on the other hand, contained most of the Yao cultivators' cultivation. They were things that cultivators coveted, as they could be refined into magical treasures.
Cultivators with high cultivation bases could use such treasures to kill enemies from a distance!
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to kill the Demon Cultivator in order to obtain its Beast Core.
However, after a Yao cultivator was killed, the cultivation contained in its Beast Core would definitely not be comparable to when it was alive, and its grade would automatically drop by a grade.
For example, if a Third Grade Yao cultivator was killed, the Beast Core obtained would only be equivalent to a Second Grade cultivation, similar to a cultivator at the Blue Lotus realm. Once it was refined into a magical treasure, it would emit a faint blue glow.
And if the one killed was a First Grade Yao cultivator, then the Beast Core would not be of high grade and would not be of much use, because it would be useless against a White Lotus First Grade cultivator.
Miao Yi suddenly realized why Lu Yu said that Yang Qing had obtained a Second Grade Yao Core. It was obvious that the spear in Yang Qing's hand was fused with the Second Grade Yao Core of an Ox Demon. The beast heads on the left and right shoulders of the armor were fused with the Second Grade Yao Cores of a Tiger Demon and a Leopard Demon. The Square Sky Decorated Halberd in Lu Yu's hand was also fused with the Second Grade Yao Core of a Bear Demon.
Yang Qing and Lu Yu already had a cultivation of the Blue Lotus realm. The current situation was no different from Yang Qing using a cultivation of four Blue Lotus cultivators to fight against Lu Yu's two.
"What a pity. If Yang Qing had a Third Grade Yao Core, he would probably be able to defeat Lu Yu in one fell swoop." Miao Yi sighed regretfully.
Yan Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Little Brother, with Yang Qing's cultivation of the Blue Lotus realm, it is already not easy for him to obtain a Second Grade Yao Core. That is something that can only be obtained by killing a Red Lotus realm Yao. I don't think he has the ability to kill a Red Lotus realm Yao, not to mention that he has three in his hands. I really don't know how he obtained them. No wonder he dared to challenge Lu Yu. As for a Third Grade Yao Core, it means that he needs to kill a Purple Lotus realm Yao. The difference in cultivation between both sides is like heaven and earth. A hundred Yang Qings added together wouldn't even be enough to kill a Purple Lotus realm Yao. Where do you expect him to find one? "
While the two of them were chatting, the other side was engaged in a vigorous battle.
Just as Lu Yu was about to be unable to hold on, Lu Yu suddenly bellowed, "What are you waiting for? Come and help! Let's kill this traitor together!"
Apart from the traitor Yang Qing, the other nine Mountain Chieftains of South Edict Manor immediately rushed over to rescue him. Over a thousand cultivators moved at the command, their battle cries shaking the heavens as they madly rushed over.
On the other side, Xiong Xiao and the others, including Qin Weiwei, raised their arms and shouted together, "Kill!"
On the wasteland, a murderous aura immediately soared to the heavens. The dragon steeds of both sides charged at each other like a raging tide, causing the earth to tremble.
Miao Yi was speechless when Qin Weiwei pointed her spear at him. Seeing the murderous look in this woman's eyes, he knew that she wanted to do as she said before, and let him be the vanguard.
Even if Miao Yi didn't understand the situation, he still knew one thing. If he dared to disobey orders on the battlefield, Qin Weiwei would immediately have an excuse to kill him, and Yang Qing wouldn't be able to say anything.
So he could only brace himself and take the lead in charging out of Hundred Blossoms Cave's camp.
But what surprised him was that Yan Xiu, who had been hiding at the back all this while, actually shouted "Kill!" and charged out with two broad axes in his hands. Miao Yi couldn't help but take a second look at him.
