Due to the insect swarm's concealment, the soldiers at the mountain pass couldn't see the battle taking place inside, so naturally, they didn't know what was going on inside. They could only feel violent energy fluctuations coming from inside, accompanied by the cries of phoenixes, and vaguely visible crimson rays of light being emitted from the insect swarm.
Yu Huang moved through the various areas of the pass and took the initiative to assume the heavy responsibility of coordinating the defenses of the various areas of the pass, and he was extremely busy. At this moment of danger, the entire Shocking Wave Lakeside Pass was unprecedentedly united as one, and they went forward with all their might. Because everyone knew that if they were unable to overcome the calamity today, then what awaited them would surely be an extremely tragic end.
Turning his head to look at the still dense insect tide, Yu Huang secretly hoped that Lu Yiye from Blue Blood Sect would hold on.
His actions had given hope to the soldiers at Shocking Waves Lake Pass, but in the end, he was only a Second-Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator. No one knew how long he could last.
While secretly worried, Yu Huang was also somewhat puzzled. Could a Second-Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator really have such great ability?
He had come into contact with many Divine Sea Realm cultivators. The original mountain pass master, Liu Yuemei, was a Seventh-Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator, but even if Liu Yuemei was still alive, if she really penetrated so deep into the enemy's ranks, wouldn't she be able to hold on for so long? In such an environment where enemies were on all sides, a single mistake could lead to eternal damnation.
In the end, Yu Huang could only attribute Lu Ye's ability to his magical armor.
As time passed, the scale of the insect tide became smaller and smaller. What made the soldiers at the mountain pass especially gratified was that there were no Divine Sea Realm insects among the attacking insect race, so even though their numbers were still large, the mountain pass's defenses were still able to cope.
As long as they persevered, victory would be theirs!
Lu Ye, on the other hand, was finding it difficult to hold on.
More than half an hour had passed since the battle began, and the number of insects that died at his hands was hard to count. He had almost single-handedly reduced the scale of the insect tide by twenty percent, and with the efforts of the soldiers at the mountain pass, the scale of the insect tide was now only half of its initial size.
He had almost eliminated all of the Divine Sea Realm insects, except for the dog insects.
These insects were too cunning, and because they were small, they were extremely agile.
After Lu Ye killed two of them in succession, they also realized that Lu Ye was not to be trifled with, so they never confronted him head-on. Instead, they often came over and quickly fled, just like how a ghost cultivator would flee thousands of miles away if their attack failed. With the cover of the insect tide, Lu Ye could not do anything to them.
In addition to the first two Hound Bugs, Lu Ye killed two more, but they were all lucky.
But there were at least eight Hound Bugs left! Such a nimble and powerful force was a huge threat to both him and the Shocking Waves Lake Pass.
On the Dragon Throne, Lu Ye panted heavily, swinging his saber numbly.
Because he had been wearing the Dragon Throne for a long time, he had consumed too much energy. If this continued, he would not even have the strength to continue fighting, let alone maintain the Dragon Throne.
He had to think of a way to break out of this situation!
Returning to the Shocking Waves Lake Pass to rest was the best choice. It was easy for him to recover, and it would not take long for him to be full of energy. However, during this period of recovery, if there was no one to restrain these Hound Bugs, the defenses of the Shocking Waves Lake Pass might not be able to withstand the attack of the insect tide.
The scale of the insect tide had indeed decreased, but the defense of the pass had also weakened. This was due to many factors, such as the energy consumption of the cultivators, the damage caused by the formation being overloaded, and most importantly, the lack of manpower at the pass made it difficult to fully utilize the advantages of the defense.
Because of all these factors, although the scale of the insect tide had decreased, the defense of the pass was not as good as before.
Therefore, the eight-headed Hound Bugs and the current insect tide were still a huge challenge to the defense of the pass. Once the defense was broken, the soldiers at the pass would be in danger.
Therefore, he could not return to the pass.
Since he could not return to the pass, he could only think of a way to lure these Hound Bugs away. Although these Hound Bugs were more intelligent than ordinary Bugs, they were still Bugs. Lu Ye could feel that they were very vengeful, especially after he killed four of their companions. During this period of time, they had been thinking of ways to take his life. If it were not for the Dragon Throne, he might really have died here.
With a plan in mind, Lu Ye turned and charged out. As he spread his Divine Telekinesis, he monitored the movements of the Hound Bugs. As expected, these Hound Bugs were watching him closely, hiding among the many Bugs, waiting for an opportunity to attack. This was exactly what Lu Ye wanted.
He waved his Dragon Ridge Saber, and waves crackled as it carried the aura of death. During this time, the Hound Bugs came and went, pouncing to bite Lu Ye and quickly retreating, not giving him a chance to fight back.
Lu Ye could not be bothered with them, as long as they followed him.
Before he left, he wanted to kill as many ordinary Bugs as possible.
After a few breaths, the front suddenly became empty, and light entered his vision. He had killed his way out!
Behind him was a large group of Bugs. Lu Ye turned and swung his saber, and a huge blood-red saber light swept out, killing many more Bugs.
However, his figure suddenly swayed, and then there was a cracking sound. The Dragon Throne on his body fell apart, turning into countless tiny scale fragments. They gathered together and once again turned into that round ball that was the size of an infant's head.
Lu Ye grabbed it and stuffed it into his storage space. His body swayed as he flew into the distance.
However, he was worried. If the eight-headed Hound Bugs did not chase after him, he would have to kill his way back. If that was the case, he could only choose to return to the pass to recuperate.
Fortunately, his worry was unnecessary.
As if seeing him put away the Dragon Throne, they realized that this human was an arrow at the end of its flight and no longer had the fierce aura from before. The eight Hound Bugs that had been watching him no longer hesitated and chased after him at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Ye was relieved. While trying his best to escape, he took out a large number of spirit pills and stuffed them into his mouth. He then swallowed a drop of Soul-Washing Water to quickly refine them to replenish his energy.
The Hound Bugs were very fast. Lu Ye's normal speed was not as fast as them. He could only activate the wind spirit tattoo to support himself, which was why he was barely on par with them.
As they chased, the human and the eight Bugs flew through the air, leaving the other Bugs far behind.
On the city wall of the pass, Yu Huang keenly sensed the change in the swarm because there were no more fluctuations of battle. His heart skipped a beat. 'Is Lu Yiye … dead?'
It would be a pity if such a young and talented man died here.
Soon, he denied his guess. Even though the insectoid horde had increased their efforts, they did not see any Divine Sea Realm insectoids, let alone Big Insect.
Yu Huang understood that Lu Yiye was not dead, but he must be in a bad situation, so he chose to lure the Bugs away. Lu Yiye's situation was not good, and so was the pass.
Without Lu Yiye's suppression, the insect swarm put all their energy into breaking through. For a moment, the defense line of the pass was in danger.
He roared and shouted to encourage the soldiers. He desperately poured his spiritual power into a formation to activate the power of the formation.
However, on the battlefield, although morale and determination were important, it was still determined by strength. As the insect swarm gathered, the defense line of the pass finally collapsed. A large number of Bugs rushed in from the defense line. The cultivators around the defense line tried their best to resist, but they still could not stop the expansion of the gap in the defense line.
Yu Huang rushed forward. After fighting for only a moment, he was covered in wounds. As he watched the cultivators around him fall one after another, his heart filled with hatred and anger. He stood in front of the gap, roaring as he killed his enemies.
Many ferocious and terrifying Bugs swarmed toward him, but Yu Huang did not retreat. Even if he died, he would use his body to block the gap!
Just as he was about to die, spots of starlight suddenly filled the air and instantly filled his vision.
Then, violent energy fluctuations came out from the spots of starlight.
Yu Huang's nostrils suddenly shrank. Realizing that something was wrong, he hurriedly pushed his spiritual energy to protect himself.
In the next moment, a series of explosions rang out. In his vision, large areas of flames burned. The powerful impact sent Yu Huang flying. He fell to the ground and coughed violently.
[Lu Yiye is back?]
At this moment, this thought appeared in Yu Huang's mind, but he soon realized that something was wrong. Lu Yiye was a Weapon Cultivator, but the method he used just now was performed by a Magic Cultivator.
[Strong reinforcements are here!] Yu Huang reacted.
He looked up and saw an average-sized figure standing where he had been standing, blocking the gap in the defensive line. He unleashed powerful spells of a large scale, stopping the attacks of a large number of insectoids on his own! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Huang recognized this person. This was an Eighth Order Divine Sea Master from Heaven's Gate Pass. He seemed to be surnamed Wan, but Yu Huang did not know what his name was.
Wiping the blood off his face, he hurriedly rushed to this person's side, "Old Wan!"
Old Wan used his means to block the Bug Tide while speaking, "This Bug Tide is not large, so how did it end up like this? Didn't Chen Xiao say that there was a Tiger Insect?"
He had killed his way in from outside the Bug Tide, but he did not see a single Tiger Insect. He did not even see a single Divine Sea Realm Bug. Logically speaking, such an Insect Tide should not be a big threat to the mountain pass.
However, it was extremely difficult to defend the Shocking Waves Lake Pass, and from the looks of it, there were even a number of casualties.
"The Tiger Insect was lured away by Lu Yiye. There were also many Divine Sea Realm Bugs. They should have all been killed by him," Yu Huang hurriedly explained.
"Lu Yiye?" Old Wan raised his eyebrows, "That Lu Yiye from Blue Blood Sect?"
"Where is he now?"
"I don't know. I couldn't sense his aura from just now, but he should still be alive," Old Wan frowned and did not say anything more. He ordered, "Consolidate the defense line first!"
Yu Huang received the order and quickly called the cultivators at the mountain pass over.
After the border defense line was stabilized, Old Wan waved his sleeves and brazenly charged out.
For Divine Sea Realm Cultivators, in such a situation, they could only display their advantage by taking the initiative to attack, instead of defending the pass with the many soldiers.
Offense was the best defense. The more they killed, the less pressure there would be on the defense line.
Lu Yiye did this, Old Wan did this, Li Taibai and Lin Yue did this, too.
