When they were ten miles away from the swarm, the insects on the periphery turned to face them.
Lu Ye rushed all the way. His Divine Sea Realm aura and spiritual energy fluctuation were obvious. He had no intention of hiding at all. The insects, who were extremely sensitive to spiritual energy fluctuations, were naturally attracted like moths to a lamp.
Yiyi flashed out of Hu Po's body and followed closely beside Lu Ye. She took the lead to activate her technique and attacked the insects in front of her. Lu Ye didn't release his power. He closed the distance a little and then waved his saber.
Streaks of sharp saber light slashed forward like crescent moons. Wherever it passed, the insectoids were sliced in half. The incisions were clean and smooth, and the insectoids' blood and corpses spilled out.
Hu Po also roared on Lu Ye's shoulder. Every tiger roar contained a strange power, which slowed down the movements of many insects and made their bodies stiff. As early as at the Spirit Stream Realm, Hu Po had shown the ability to suppress the soul. Its tiger roar could often cause a certain degree of impact on the enemy's mind.
Now, it was also a Demonic Commander level monster, which was equivalent to the True Lake Realm of the human race. The tiger roar's power was naturally stronger. Facing a Divine Sea Realm master like Liu Yuemei, the tiger roar had no effect. But facing these insects with low intelligence, the tiger roar's power was undoubtedly displayed.
A human, a spirit, and a tiger. After three years, they joined forces again. Wherever they passed, insects fell like raindrops.
In just a few miles of confrontation, countless insects died. Lu Ye led Yiyi and crashed into the dense swarm of insects, killing in all directions. On the city wall of the Shocking Waves Lake Pass, a figure was sitting. His aura was as weak as a candle flame. It was Chen Xiao, who was ordered to come to the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. Two hours ago, he was still high-spirited, but now he was gasping for breath.
His injury was too serious. The left half of his body was almost missing. The squirming internal organs in his abdomen could be clearly seen. From the jagged marks on the edge of the wound, he seemed to have been bitten by something.
With such a serious injury, he was destined not to live for long. He held on and didn't die because he reported the situation to Heaven's Gate and asked them to send more powerful Divine Sea Realm masters. But the feedback he got was hopeless. The Heaven's Gate asked him to hold on for another two hours, because even if they were transferred, it would take some time for the warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm to arrive.
Two hours. Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. Not to mention two hours, in his current situation, he wouldn't even be able to last for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. While he was communicating with his superiors, Chen Xiao suddenly raised his head. His eyes, which were so dim that they were about to be annihilated, suddenly brightened up. His lips, which were as white as paper due to excessive blood loss, moved slightly.
"What's that sound?" Beside Chen Xiao, a medical practitioner was desperately circulating her spiritual energy to treat his injuries. Her slender figure wanted nothing more than to squeeze out all of her spiritual energy, but it was of no help to Chen Xiao's injuries. Bean-sized tears silently rolled down her cheeks. Hearing Chen Xiao's question, the medical practitioner said, "My Lord, you must hold on."
As for sounds, she could only hear the flapping of the insectoids' wings and the squirming of their mouths. Chen Xiao shook his head. "There's a sound." His eyes brightened. "It's a tiger's roar! Someone's coming. "
Demonic beasts wouldn't come here for no reason, but that was indeed a tiger's roar. In other words, it should be a cultivator from the Beast Tamer School. However, he did not know how many people there were and how strong they were.
"Quick, alert the others! There's a Big Insect in the insect swarm!"
A Big Insect did not refer to its size, but its strength. Only an insectoid that was comparable to a Seventh Order Divine Sea cultivator or above would be called a Big Insect.
This was the tacit understanding that the cultivators of the Nine States had accumulated over the past two years of fighting against the insect plague. There was a Big Insect in the insect swarm that besieged Shocking Waves Lake Pass. He had suffered a loss at the hands of a Big Insect. In the fierce battle, his protective Spirit Energy was broken and half of his body was bitten off. If not for the fact that he was very close to the pass at that time and had many cultivators at the pass to help him, he would have lost his life on the spot.
Under normal circumstances, a human with similar strength would be able to deal with an insectoid swarm. This was because human cultivators had all kinds of methods, while the insectoids relied on their instincts. No matter how weak a cultivator's foundation was, it would not be a problem for them to fight two or even three insectoids at once.
The key point was that there were many Big Insects in this insect swarm. Not only were there comparable to a Seventh Order Divine Sea cultivator, there were even some comparable to an Eighth Order Divine Sea cultivator. He had already suffered a great loss, so naturally, he did not want others to follow in his footsteps.
The medical cultivator beside him hurriedly urged her Spirit Energy and shouted, "Be careful, there are many Big Insects in this insect swarm!"
Although she tried her best to shout, her voice was still drowned out by the sound of the many insectoids flapping their wings. It was unknown whether the newcomer heard her or not. Lu Ye heard her, but there was no room for him to evade. At this moment, he had charged into the insect swarm and was surrounded by insectoids from all directions. In particular, there were a dozen or so insectoids with fierce auras that brought him great pressure.
These dozen or so insectoids should be canine insectoids. At first glance, they looked like canines. They had four limbs and short tails, but their bodies were covered in thick carapaces that provided them with strong protection. Lu Ye's saber light slashed at them, destroying ordinary insectoids, but to these canine insectoids, it was like scratching an itch.
Their mouths were like those of crocodiles, with sharp teeth. If one was accidentally bitten, it would not end well.
The dozen or so Hound Insects formed a semicircle and surrounded Lu Ye, their powerful and fierce auras instantly allowing Lu Ye to perceive their existence.
There were too many of them. Even Lu Ye did not dare to face them head-on. He could only leap up and rush upwards, looking for an opportunity to break through. The Hound Insects followed. In terms of speed, they were far inferior to Lu Ye. If it was a normal escape, Lu Ye could easily shake them off. Hound Insects were not known for their speed, but being surrounded by them, Lu Ye could not move at full speed. No matter which direction he fled in, there would be a large number of insectoids blocking his way.
With a crackle of the Mountain Saber, he forcibly carved out a path of blood. The dozen or so insectoids were getting closer and closer. The leading insectoids had already opened their bloody mouths and were biting at him.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Lu Ye could only push his Spirit Energy. With him as the center, an invisible force suddenly spread out and turned into an attack. The insectoids around him all stiffened as if they had been struck by lightning. Even the Hound Insects were no exception. Using Spiritual Energy to deal with the Insect Race was the fastest way to achieve results. The Insect Race was not intelligent, which meant that their Spiritual Energy was weak. Therefore, Spiritual Sea Realm cultivators of the human race could easily suppress the Insect Race's Spiritual Energy.
However, this method could not be used too often. After all, Spirit Energy was limited even for Divine Sea Realm cultivators. Moreover, replenishing it was not as convenient as replenishing Spirit Energy. Once too much was consumed, it was easy to fall into a state of dispirited state.
While the insectoids stiffened, Lu Ye waved the Mountain Saber in his hand and growled, "Yiyi!" Even though they had not seen each other for a few years, their minds were still connected. Yiyi quickly flashed back into Hu Po's body to hide. In an instant, the surrounding space darkened as if a bright moon had risen. The cold moonlight scattered, and the dense moonlight bloomed wantonly like iron flowers. The second style of the Tyrant Blade, Crescent Moon. This was the most suitable blade technique to be used when surrounded. Thud, thud, thud. The area around Lu Ye within a radius of three hundred feet was almost cleared out, and it was unknown how many insectoids had died.
Only the Hound Insects remained unscathed. They were strong enough, and the carapace on their backs provided a thick layer of protection. Even if the Crescent Moon's blade struck them, it only left a mark on their carapace.
However, with the huge impact, the Hound Insects were still beaten down. They quickly stabilized themselves and pounced at Lu Ye again. However, after Lu Ye used Crescent Moon, he quickly turned around and rushed down toward the mountain pass. The path ahead was blocked. Lu Ye swung his saber to open a path. Hu Po's tiger roar shook the sky. The man and tiger cooperated with each other skillfully.
In the Shocking Waves Lake, many cultivators looked in the direction of the source of the commotion. They were all extremely nervous. With Chen Xiao's example, everyone was worried about the newcomer. They did not know if he could successfully break through. The huge insectoid swarm suddenly began to wriggle. It was as if salt had been sprinkled into a pot of hot oil. Immediately after, a saber ray slashed out from the wriggling area. Following closely behind the saber ray was a flickering figure. Chen Xiao quickly said, "Quickly open the formation!" There was no need for him to give any orders. The cultivator in charge of the defensive formation immediately activated the jade pendant in his hand and opened a hole in the formation in the direction of the newcomer. Lu Ye entered in a flash, and the hole closed up again. The insectoids behind him were isolated outside, and they were drowned in attacks.
After charging into Shocking Wave Lake, Lu Ye released and withdrew his Divine Sense, and he roughly understood the situation here.
The situation here was much worse than the Dark Moon Forest Pass. Many cultivators were injured or killed, and there were many insectoid corpses left on the city wall. It was obvious that the insectoids had broken through the defensive line more than once, but they were all blocked by the cultivators here. In comparison, the Dark Moon Forest Pass's defense was obviously more stable. At the very least, the insectoids had not broken through the defensive line there. There were two reasons for this situation. First, the insectoids here were stronger, and second, there were no Masters here. On the Dark Moon Forest Pass, there were two Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, Li Tai Bai and Lin Yue. They took turns to kill the enemy, greatly reducing the pressure on the pass's defense.
There were no such conditions here.
However, there was the aura of a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. Lu Ye came to Chen Xiao's side and looked at his tragic injuries. He cupped his fists and saluted, "Law Division's Lu Ye greets Senior Brother." Chen Xiao looked behind Lu Ye, as if he was expecting something. Lu Ye understood and said, "I was alone. I was passing by and noticed something was wrong, so I came to take a look." “
"Junior Brother Lu is considerate."
Chen Xiao sighed slightly, "It must have been hard for you to rush in. Didn't you encounter those insects?" Lu Ye's cultivation was only at the Second-Order Spirit Sea Realm, far inferior to Chen Xiao. If he had really encountered those insects, he would not have been lucky.
