The cultivators who were escaping were all in the True Lake Realm, and the spirit energy fluctuations coming from their leader were at the Sixth Order True Lake Realm.
This was a four-man team with decent strength.
However, they were still being chased into a corner because the insect that was chasing them was in the Spirit Sea Realm.
The team of four was out to hunt insects, and such teams could be found everywhere in the Nine Provinces. At first, everything went smoothly, so they ventured deeper into the forest. Who would have thought that they would meet an undefeatable opponent?
Now, one of the four was seriously injured and was being held in the arms of one of their companions, covered in blood.
The other two used their own methods to block the insect's attacks. One was a Dharma Cultivator, so his techniques were quite powerful, while the other was a Ghost Cultivator. In such a situation, the Ghost Cultivator's usefulness was limited.
The Ghost Cultivator's specialty was sneak attacks, but if they were to face the enemy head-on, their strength would be reduced. This Ghost Cultivator's specialty was to escape a thousand miles away if they failed to kill the enemy.
In the current situation, if the Ghost Cultivator abandoned his companions and fled, he would still have a chance to survive. He was the fastest, and he didn't need to be faster than the Spirit Sea Realm insect. He only needed to be faster than his three companions.
However, he obviously didn't have the intention to escape alone. He cooperated with the Dharma Cultivator and resisted with difficulty.
This kind of thing should have been done by a Physique Cultivator. There was originally a Physique Cultivator in the team, but he died gloriously. Helpless, the Ghost Cultivator could only replace him.
Lu Ye suddenly felt that this Ghost Cultivator looked familiar. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Why was this guy here? Wasn't he supposed to be at Lone Mountain City?
Lone Mountain City was tens of thousands of miles away from here, and this place was under the jurisdiction of Dark Moon Forest Pass.
What he didn't know was that someone had requested to be transferred away from Lone Mountain City in order to get rid of his shadow. As for where he was transferred, it didn't matter, as long as it wasn't at Lone Mountain City.
More than two years ago, when the war between Dark Moon Forest Pass and Shocking Waves Lake Pass broke out, Dark Moon Forest Pass needed a large number of reinforcements, so he was transferred here.
[The Great Genetic Age]
Sure enough, after two years of comfortable days, he no longer had to be on tenterhooks at Lone Mountain City.
Thanks to the insect disaster, his harvest in the past two years was not small. Now, his cultivation had reached the Sixth Order True Lake Realm!
Coupled with his extraordinary background and talent, he was at least somewhat famous in the Dark Moon Forest Pass, even if he could not summon the wind and rain.
He, Ying Wuji, finally stood up.
It had been a long time since Lu Ye last saw an old friend. In addition, Lu Ye already had the intention to save him. This time, he no longer hesitated. The sword light beneath his feet trembled as he charged toward the battle.
The spirit artifacts in Ying Wuji's hands flew as he struggled to fend off the attacks of the mantis bug. Even though it was a bug that did not have much intelligence, it was instinctive to fight and kill. It was as if it was born to be a swordsman with exquisite saber skills. The two mantis blades slashed at Ying Wuji from unimaginable angles, causing Ying Wuji to be flustered.
Moreover, every strike was powerful and heavy.
He had no choice but to abandon the usual combat methods used by ghost cultivators and face them head-on.
If it weren't for the help of the spell cultivator and the fact that the insect race didn't know how to use the power of the spirit, they would have died long ago.
The gap between the True Lake Stage and the Spirit Sea Stage was like a huge chasm.
He hated anyone who used a saber, even if the other party was just a bug!
No one who used a saber was good.
He had already sent a message to his own Pass Master asking for help. However, it would take time for the Pass Master to arrive. He wasn't even sure if the Pass Master would come. Currently, the Dark Moon Forest Pass only had the Pass Master at the Spirit Sea Realm.
If the Pass Master did not come, then they would be doomed. But even if the Pass Master came, could they really hold on until then?
As he thought about it, a huge force came from the front. Ying Wuji's arm went numb. He raised it high and opened it wide.
In his field of vision, the mantis bug's blade flashed with a cold light as it stabbed downward. It was so fast that it left behind a series of afterimages.
Ying Wuji's body went cold. He knew that his time of death had come. As a ghost cultivator, to be able to fight against a Divine Sea Realm bug for so long was already a reflection of his strong foundation. But he could not hold on any longer.
At the moment of life and death, he realized that he did not have the slightest bit of fear. He did not even have the thought of retreating. Cultivators of the Nine States, from the Spirit Stream Realm onwards, lived in constant conflict between the two camps. In their lives, they had experienced countless big and small battles. None of them were afraid of death. It could be said that most cultivators could face their own death calmly.
But even if he died, he had to die in a meaningful way.
Following the thought in his heart, he pounced forward and shouted, "Go!"
Even if he could only delay for a moment, he had to create a chance for his companions to escape.
In his field of vision, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky. Ying Wuji did not see clearly what it was, and he did not have time to look. He thrust the short blade in his hand forward and stabbed it directly into the mantis bug's hideous mouth. His spiritual power exploded, and the mouth exploded.
This was the last attack of his life. Naturally, he used all his strength.
But death did not come as expected. There was a cold feeling on the top of his head, and a wet feeling slid down his cheeks. The smell of blood lingered at the tip of his nose.
The mantis bug's sharp mantis blade was on top of his head, half an inch into his flesh. Just a little more and he would have been dead.
Pain came from the top of his head. Ying Wuji gasped for breath. He did not know what was going on.
He did not die.
Not only did he not die, but he also killed this Spirit Ocean Realm bug.
In an instant, Ying Wuji's eyes were wet. He really did stand up …
But in the next moment, a thin line of blood appeared on the forehead of the mantis bug in front of him. That line of blood quickly spread and went straight through the bug's entire body.
With a crash, the mantis bug split open from the middle. The cut was neat and clean. Dark green blood drenched Ying Wuji's head and face.
Ying Wuji blinked his eyes. It was not until then that he saw a figure standing not far away.
Just now, this figure was blocked by the mantis bug.
His first impression was that this guy was really handsome!
With this kind of appearance, even if he did not have much cultivation, he would be able to attract girls with just a flick of his finger.
Then, a sense of horror suddenly surged from the depths of his heart. He did not know where this sense of horror came from. Anyway, the moment he saw this stranger, his heart skipped a beat. He felt inexplicably uneasy.
Instinctively, he felt that this was the aftereffect of escaping death.
He hurriedly took a step back and looked at the newcomer warily.
He was wearing a white robe and looked like an immortal. He had a handsome face and a big gourd hanging on his waist. No one could tell where he came from, but the spiritual energy around him showed that he was a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator.
Ying Wuji finally realized that he did not die. It was not that he was too powerful, but that he was saved.
The light that he caught a glimpse of just now was obviously from this person's means. That should be a sword light.
Only a powerhouse like that could kill a Divine Ocean Realm insectoid so cleanly.
Calming down, Ying Wuji cupped his fists. "Dark Moon Forest Pass, Ying Wuji. Thank you for saving my life. May I know how to address you?"
For some reason, although he wanted to sincerely thank him, he felt a little uncomfortable. Moreover, the way this Spirit Ocean Realm cultivator looked at him was a little strange.
It seemed a little … mischievous.
Ying Wuji could not look him in the eye. After all, he was a Spirit Ocean Realm cultivator. It was very impolite. Moreover, he had just saved his life.
"You are … Li Taibai?" Behind him, the spell cultivator looked as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at Lu Ye in shock.
Back then, Lu Ye had disguised himself as Li Taibai and fought six rounds with the Grand Sky Alliance cultivators at the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. He won all six battles. In the last battle, he killed Tan Shu, whose cultivation was several levels higher than his. At that time, many cultivators at the Dark Moon Forest Pass saw him and were shocked.
Later, some news came from the Young Pass Lord Lin Yue. This Li Taibai was someone who could rival the Sect Destroyer Ye.
The Sect Destroyer Ye was a ferocious person. When he was in the Spirit Stream Realm, he had defeated the top sects of the Myriad Demon Ridge. When he was in the Cloud River Realm, he had a terrifying battle record of killing 2,000 people in one battle. He was also ranked first in the Cloud River Contest. His fame was so great that Lan Ziyi, who was ranked second, did not even have the thought of challenging him. He was in the limelight for a while.
In the same era and in the same cultivation level, no one in the Nine Prefectures could be compared to him. He was also seen as a tumor by the Myriad Demon Ridge and wanted to get rid of him.
The Myriad Demon Ridge had finally produced Li Taibai, so they naturally wanted to spread the news.
However, what made people sigh was that Tan Shu's death triggered a war between the two passes. The Shocking Waves Lake Pass Lord Liu Yuemei personally dealt with Li Taibai. She bullied the weak with her status as a Spirit Ocean Realm cultivator. In that battle, Li Taibai unfortunately died!
When a legend fell, many Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators at the Dark Moon Forest Pass were indignant. However, he was already dead, so what was the use of being indignant?
This spell cultivator was also present that day to witness Li Taibai's progress.
The person who beheaded Tan Shu could be said to be extremely respectful towards him.
However, he never expected that a person who had already died would appear in front of him again. Moreover, in a short two years, he had already reached the Spirit Ocean Realm.
He almost thought that he was dreaming.
"What? You are Li Taibai?"
Ying Wu Ji was also shocked.
It had been two years since he came to the Dark Moon Forest Pass. Naturally, he had heard of Li Taibai's legendary deeds. Many people had told him about it before. He also felt that it was a pity. If the cultivators of the Dark Moon Forest Pass did not exaggerate, then Li Taibai really was someone who could contend with Lu Yiye. It was a pity that he came too late and did not get to see Li Taibai's majesty.
He never thought that he would be fated to meet him today.
Unbelievable, unbelievable.
According to his understanding, two years ago, Li Taibai was only a Third-Order True Lake Realm cultivator. His cultivation was not much stronger than his own. In two years, he was already a Sixth-Order True Lake Realm cultivator. His cultivation was improving at an incredible speed, but Li Taibai had actually reached the Spirit Ocean Realm.
What kind of great pill did he eat?
Lu Yiye was not surprised that someone recognized him. He only nodded slightly, "It's me.
When he activated the Thousand Faces Spirit Inscription, he also thought about changing his face to an unfamiliar face. However, the Sword Gourd's symbol was too obvious, so he simply used Li Taibai's appearance.
This place was under the jurisdiction of the Dark Moon Forest Pass, so it was normal for him to be recognized when encountering cultivators from the Dark Moon Forest Pass.
