The Spirit Artifact that trapped Senior Brother Zhou was the small bell Lu Ye obtained from the Nine Stars Sect's Young Master. He had been nourishing it with his own Spirit Qi these days and it was quite effective. Although he hadn't completely refined the seal on it, he could at least display some of its power.
The power of this Spirit Artifact could trap enemies, which was how Yi Yi had been trapped back then. As for its other powers, Lu Ye couldn't display them for the time being.
The change was extremely sudden. In the blink of an eye, Senior Sister Yu was killed, Senior Brother Zhou was trapped, and only three Third-Order cultivators were left.
Before they could even react to what had happened, Lu Ye had already charged towards the person closest to him with his blade in hand.
That person kept retreating and hurriedly pulled out his weapon to meet the enemy, but Lu Ye had already brushed past him.
This Third-Order cultivator suddenly froze in place and his body swayed slightly before he fell to the ground, quickly dying the ground red with blood.
Although they were both Third-Order cultivators, how could he block a saber enhanced with sharpness? One was premeditated, while the other reacted hastily. Life and death were decided in the moment they met.
Lu Ye had already arrived in front of the second Third-Order cultivator. This one seemed to be the Junior Brother Xiong who had almost wet his pants after being frightened by Hu Po and Yi Yi. He had a little more time to react, but in the face of a vicious person like Lu Ye, he had completely lost the courage to resist. He waved his weapon wildly and retreated in panic, shouting, "Don't come over!"
However, this couldn't delay his death. Lu Ye rushed in front of him and slashed out with his saber. Junior Brother Xiong instinctively raised his weapon to block in panic. At the same time, his weapon glowed faintly.
Surprisingly, this was also a low-grade spiritual weapon.
Low-grade spirit weapons like this were generally branded with spirit patterns of strengthening nature. This was because low-level cultivators fought in close combat. If the weapon was stronger, it would undoubtedly be able to last longer. Otherwise, if the weapon was destroyed in the middle of the battle, then the cultivator could only wait for death.
When the two Spirit Artifacts were about to collide, Lu Ye's wrist flicked and his saber missed his opponent's block and slashed down diagonally.
If it had been when he had just left Blue Cloud Mountain, this saber strike would have broken his opponent's weapon without any hesitation, but after experiencing life and death battles in Heaven Splitting Gorge, Lu Ye's combat experience had increased significantly.
This slash had almost split open the other party's chest, and the beating heart within could be vaguely seen.
"Ah!" That person screamed and fell to the ground, but he didn't die immediately.
Lu Ye flipped his saber and stabbed down.
Junior Brother Xiong twitched violently for a few times before his body straightened up and he stopped breathing.
Lu Ye unsheathed his saber and charged towards the third Third-Order Origin Realm cultivator.
This person was currently being pestered by Hu Po, and Yiyi had also run out, constantly harassing him. She was a spirit, so she was extremely nimble, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. With the cooperation of a spirit and a tiger, although they couldn't do much to this person, delaying him wasn't a problem.
Seeing Lu Ye kill two of his fellow disciples in a row, the man knew that he was no match for him. While waving the weapon in his hand to block the amber, he fumbled for his storage bag and hurriedly took out a talisman.
Just as he was about to use the talisman, Lu Ye had already arrived in front of him and swung his saber!
The hand holding the talisman was severed at the wrist.
The severed hand fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere, and a scream rang out before coming to an abrupt end. Lu Ye's saber had accurately pierced the other party's mouth and passed through his head. With a twist, the other party's vitality was crushed.
Hu Po gasped for breath on the side, and Yiyi rushed over in surprise, "Lu Ye!"
Lu Ye smiled at her, but before he could speak, a loud bang rang out not far away.
Lu Ye turned his head and saw the surface of the Spirit Bell flickering with light. The bell, which was originally only the size of a water tank, had expanded significantly.
After all, he hadn't completely refined this Spirit Bell and could only display some of its power to trap enemies. Moreover, it couldn't trap enemies for long. Senior Brother Zhou was a Fifth-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, so he definitely wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. Under his wanton destruction, the time it could trap enemies was even shorter.
If Lu Ye didn't take back the Spirit Bell, this Spirit Artifact would soon be destroyed. The external defence of this bell was stronger; after all, it was a life-saving Spirit Artifact. Relatively speaking, it was easier to destroy it from the inside.
"Take Hu Po further away!" Lu Ye hurriedly ordered. Hu Po's injuries had not yet healed, and after being besieged by Serene Cloud Mountain's group, his snow-white fur had been dyed red, and with his strength, he wouldn't be able to participate in the following battle.
Yiyi didn't waste time and just worriedly warned Lu Ye, "Be careful!"
She took Hu Po a little further away, but kept her eyes fixed on Lu Ye. Once the situation turned bad, she and Hu Po would swarm forward and play as much of a role as possible.
Lu Ye nodded and quickly ran towards Senior Brother Zhou, stretching out his hand halfway and causing the Spirit Bell to immediately fly up, shrink, and fall back into his hand.
At the same time as he put away the Spirit Bell, he leapt up high and slashed down with his saber.
Senior Brother Zhou had just broken free when a bright saber light appeared in front of him. The long sword in his hand lightly floated forward and struck Lu Ye's saber.
Lu Ye's figure became unstable for a moment, and not only was his attack broken, he was also sent flying backwards.
Senior Brother Zhou took advantage of this opportunity to press forward, his long sword stabbing out repeatedly. Although his offensive wasn't fierce, it was continuous, forcing Lu Ye to retreat again and again.
This was the first time Lu Ye had encountered such an enemy. In the past, when he killed people, his saber was fast, accurate, and ruthless, either breaking his enemy's weapon or cutting their body in half. Even the Fourth-Order Origin Realm masters of Nine Star Sect couldn't withstand a few slashes from his saber.
But this Senior Martial Brother Zhou's swordsmanship was so good that Lu Ye didn't know how to use his saber for a moment. Not only were his hurried saber moves blocked by the opponent, he didn't manage to injure him. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and left several wounds on his body.
Lu Ye also urged his defensive Spirit Inscription to defend himself, but his opponent's long sword was like a snake, drifting erratically, always avoiding his body, causing him to waste some of his Spirit Qi.
Unless he activated a Spirit Inscription that could completely block in front of him, there was no way he could defend himself.
However, if he really activated such a Spirit Inscription, not to mention the huge consumption, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to attack.
This kind of battle was completely different from his previous battle with Luo Ji. Luo Ji was a Spirit Dao Cultivator, so his Spirit Inscriptions were always traceable, so Lu Ye could block them.
Senior Brother Zhou was a close combat Weapon Cultivator, so the angle of his sword was difficult to judge.
Therefore, even if Luo Ji was almost equivalent to an ordinary Fifth-Order cultivator, the feeling he gave Lu Ye was completely different. He could defeat Luo Ji, but he was definitely not this Senior Brother Zhou's opponent.
After retreating several dozen meters, his opponent's attacks became more and more intense. Lu Ye immediately understood that in terms of combat skills, his opponent was several streets ahead of him!
After all, he had only started cultivating a few months ago, but this Senior Brother Zhou was a Fifth-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator who knew how long he had been cultivating, so he had his own attainments in Sword Dao.
If this continued, he would definitely lose!
Lu Ye made up his mind and pushed his Spirit Qi to the limit. Without hesitation, he fiercely slashed out with his saber, the long saber flashing with a sharp light!
