"I ran fast," Lu Ye explained.
"Your luck is not bad." Chen Xiao did not suspect anything. In his opinion, Lu Ye's luck was indeed good to be able to charge in alive. Unfortunately, he was so unlucky to be surrounded by those giant insects and suffered such heavy injuries. Taking a few deep breaths, Chen Xiao's voice became weak. "Jade Blood Sect's Lu Yiye, I've heard of you. I hope you can continue to be so lucky. I've already asked for help, but you should understand the current situation. Even with the State Guard's background, it's not that easy to find suitable people. Guannei ordered me to hold on for two hours, but I can't do it. Can I entrust the defense of Shocking Waves Lake Pass to you? No matter what, you have to protect the pass for two hours! " Lu Ye wanted to say a few words of consolation, but when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back. Chen Xiao knew his injuries better than anyone else, so there was no need for him to lie to himself and others. With a serious expression, he said, "I will do my best."
"Good." Chen Xiao nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you."
When he finished speaking, his spiritual energy suddenly dissipated. His head slowly drooped, his eyes dark.
The medical cultivator beside him was still desperately urging her spiritual energy to maintain his vitality, but how could it be effective? Chen Xiao was able to hold on until now only because of the last breath in his heart. Now that Lu Ye had come, although not satisfactory, he was still a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. After handing over the task of guarding Shocking Waves Lake Pass, he could not hold on anymore.
"Don't waste your energy." Lu Ye said.
The medical cultivator wiped the tears from her eyes. Even though she had seen many deaths since she embarked on the path of cultivation, every time someone died in front of her, she hated her own incompetence.
Many medical cultivators would go through this psychological process. They were the people who could see life and death the most. From the initial feeling of not being able to bear it, to gradually numb to seeing life and death, this was the growth of medical cultivators. The attack and defense continued. On the walls of the pass, many fortifications let out a buzzing roar. Powerful attacks struck the insect swarm. Lu Ye looked around and met the gazes of many Shocking Waves Lake Pass cultivators. He keenly sensed the low morale. It was inevitable.
Liu Yuemei, the original Pass Master, had lost her life for some unknown reason, which was enough to make people uneasy. Then there was the insect swarm. Finally, a warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm came to support them. However, the moment he arrived, he was severely injured. His life was worse than death. Now, he had gone with Liu Yuemei.
Although Gu Lu Ye had arrived, Lu Ye's cultivation was only a trivial Second-Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator.
Even the Sixth Order Chen Xiao had no room to play, so what could a Second-Order cultivator do in this situation?
The entire Shocking Waves Lake Pass had lost its backbone from the very beginning. If it weren't for the daily training and the tacit cooperation of everyone, the pass would have fallen long ago in the face of such a scale of insect tide.
The prospects were not optimistic, so it was natural for morale to be low. If it was possible, breaking out of the encirclement and escaping was a good idea. After all, there were no mortals living here. Even if the insectoids took over the mountain pass, there would not be too many losses. As long as the soldiers at the mountain pass were alive, they would be able to kill their way back.
However, in the current situation, it was impossible to break through. The insect horde had surrounded the entire mountain pass. If they really did that, how many of them would survive? The best time to break through was when the insect horde had surrounded the mountain pass, and they had already missed it.
[What a mess.] Lu Ye sighed in his heart. But in the end, this mess was related to him. If Liu Yuemei was still alive, she would be here when the insect swarm arrived. The situation at the mountain pass would not be so bad. No matter what, Liu Yuemei was still strong.
But this woman just had to court death!
As their eyes met, Lu Ye spoke slowly, "I have been entrusted with this task. I, Lu Ye, am also a member of the State Guard. Since this is a chance encounter, I cannot refuse. Today, I will defend the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. I hope everyone can work together with me to slay the insectoids and protect the mountain pass."
"Please give the order, Sir." A True Lake Realm cultivator cupped his fists.
"Please give the order, Sir." Everyone shouted in unison.
"None of you are children. There is no need for me to say what you should do in this situation. Do what you did before. I am not more proficient in defending the mountain pass than any of you. I only have one order, and that is to ensure that the defensive line does not break. Hearing this, many soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Lu Ye would really take over the mountain pass's defensive line and carelessly give out orders, ruining their rhythm and arrangements. These days, there were many armchair strategists. Especially when Lu Ye was so young. He was younger than all the True Lake Realm cultivators present. It was inevitable that he would have some problems with grandiose achievements.
Fortunately, although he is young, he still has some self-awareness. " Sir, the insect swarm is fierce. If there were no Spirit Sea Realm insectoids, the mountain pass's defense could still hold on. But there are many Spirit Sea Realm insectoids in the swarm, and there is also a big insect. "A bearded man spoke. This person was a True Lake Realm Ninth Order cultivator, only a step away from the Spirit Sea Realm. Obviously, he had some status in the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. His opinion basically represented the thoughts of the soldiers at the mountain pass.
Lu Ye glanced at him and said, "What's your name?" The bearded man said in a sonorous voice, "Yu Huang!"
Lu Ye nodded, "I will leave the mountain pass to you. As for the Spirit Sea Realm insectoids outside …" He turned around and faced the insect swarm. He raised his hand and summoned something, "I will kill them."
When the last word fell, he pushed his Spirit Energy and the thing that was the size of a baby's head suddenly split into countless tiny scale fragments. Under the guidance of Lu Ye's own aura, these scale fragments climbed onto his body as if they had a mind of their own. Crackling sounds of explosions rang out continuously, and at the same time, an extremely berserk aura rose and fell.
Red light flashed and an invisible wave of Qi swept out in all directions. The impact caused everyone on the city wall to lose their footing and squint their eyes.
When Yu Huang and the others looked over again, they were all stunned. It was because the place where Lu Ye was originally standing had been replaced by a tall scarlet figure. The figure was tall and slender, with sharp edges and corners all over its body. Its appearance was ferocious.
Its surface was covered with many profound and complicated patterns. The crisscrossing patterns extended from its cheeks to its entire body. The colors were gorgeous and intertwined to form an extremely wild totem.
The tall figure just stood there quietly. Obviously, it did not move at all, but it was still filled with an endless violent aura. It was as if an ancient vicious beast that had been imprisoned for countless years had just broken free. An invisible pressure filled the air. Even a True Lake Realm Ninth Order cultivator like Yu Huang could not help but sweat on his forehead.
With the sudden appearance of a huge saber, the already ferocious aura became even more violent and unparalleled.
Not far from Lu Ye, the medical cultivator who treated Chen Xiao's injuries just now let out a cry and took a dozen steps back.
"Yan Jia." Yu Huang stared blankly at the huge figure that suddenly appeared. He recognized what it was at a glance.
There was the Yanshi School in the Nine Continents. He had interacted with them before. However, the cultivators of the Yanshi School were the same as the cultivators of the Beast Tamer School. They had always been in an awkward position. Whether they were strong or not depended entirely on the creations and Monster Beasts they controlled.
Most of the time, the cultivators of the Yanshi School and the Beast Tamer School took on the role of pathfinders in complicated and unknown environments. This was because even if their creations and Monster Beasts were lost, it would not cause any direct damage to the cultivators.
He never thought that there would be such a set of Yan Jia in this world. Just by simply wearing it on the body, it could raise a person's aura to such a violent degree. Was this still a fake armor?
While he was still in shock, the scarlet figure had already rushed out. It swept past the light screen of the defensive array and crashed into the dense swarm of insects. Its speed was so fast that even a peak True Lake Stage cultivator like him could not see it clearly. He only saw two scarlet streams of light dragging out from the child's eyes.
The tall figure waved the huge saber. With a simple slash, a crack appeared in the airtight swarm of insects. Immediately after, the figure charged in. In an instant, countless lives were lost.
All the cultivators who saw this scene were stunned. For a moment, the defense of the mountain pass was interrupted. The originally dense attacks became sparse. Fortunately, the swarm was attracted by Lu Ye and did not take the opportunity to attack. Otherwise, the defense line might really be broken. At that time, there would be many more casualties. "Don't be in a daze. Everyone move!" Yu Huang shouted angrily.
The many shocked soldiers seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly carried out their duties.
They did not know whether they could survive the siege of the insect swarm this time. They also did not know whether they could last until the reinforcements from Heaven's Gate arrived. However, they knew what they should do, especially after Lu Ye brazenly killed his way into the swarm of insects alone. Others who were just passing by could give up their lives like this. How could they, the soldiers of the Shocking Waves Lake Pass, fall behind others? It was nothing more than people living in the pass. If the pass was broken, people would die. The originally low morale suddenly soared.
It had to be said that the leader taking the lead was the best way to stimulate morale. In this kind of situation, no matter how extravagant one's words were, it was not as meaningful as actual actions. Lu Ye did not know how to bewitch people's hearts, nor did he know how to control them. He did not have such thoughts. All the choices he made were forced by the situation and also because of his heart.
Wearing the Dragon Throne was too suitable for this kind of battlefield. There was no need to deliberately search for the enemy's traces. It was just a simple swing of the sword. Every swing would have a result.
On the contrary, a one-on-one battle like with Liu Yuemei was actually not very suitable for the Dragon Throne. This was also the reason why he did not use the Dragon Throne when he fought with Liu Yuemei previously. It was not only because he had already activated the blood-stained spiritual tattoos and the beast transformation secret technique.
After wearing the Dragon Throne, the whole person's vision increased a lot. When facing a single target, the strength of the Dragon Throne could not be fully displayed. This thing was completely used to deal with a large-scale siege. With the strength of one person, fighting against enemies from all sides. Wherever the Dragon Ridge Blade fell, even the Divine Sea Realm insects were as fragile as paper.
