Compared to the difficult situation at the Shocking Waves Lake Pass, the situation at the Dark Moon Forest Pass was undoubtedly much better.
The insect swarm coming out from the crack was divided into two groups. One group went north to the Dark Moon Forest Pass, and the other went south to the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. Although there were many insects going north, and some of them were at the Spirit Sea Realm, there were only two of them. Plus, Li Taibai and Lin Yue, two Spirit Sea Realm warriors, were guarding the pass. Therefore, the situation was under control from beginning to end.
After Lin Yue and Li Tai Bai worked together to kill the two insects, the situation was completely stabilized.
Now, what the cultivators of the Dark Moon Forest Pass needed to do was to fight steadily and slowly nibble away at the insects. This way, they could eliminate the insects to the greatest extent while ensuring their own safety.
At this point, Lin Yue's mood also relaxed as a medical cultivator next to her was treating her injuries.
Her injuries weren't light, but they weren't serious either. They were from the fight with the two insects. For a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, it wasn't to the extent that it would affect their strength.
She turned to look at Lu Ye, "Junior Brother, you've worked hard. You did well this time. I will go to Ten Thousand Demon City and ask for a reward for you."
Li Tai Bai's performance in dealing with the insect tide this time undoubtedly made her extremely satisfied. If it weren't for his help, this insect tide wouldn't have been so easy to deal with. Breaking the defensive line would have been light, but there would have been a lot of casualties.
Especially when she was killing those two giant insects, the sharpness of Li Taibai's flying sword made her worry less. The sword light that came and went back and forth often appeared when she needed it the most, sharing her worries and solving her difficulties. The strength he displayed was extremely strong.
Lin Yue secretly sighed. As expected of someone who could kill enemies above their realm. This kind of performance wasn't something that any Second-Order Spirit Sea Realm cultivator could compare with. If it were anyone else, it would be good if they didn't hinder her, let alone help her so much.
She used to think that Li Tai Bai was a character who could compete with Grand Heaven Union's Lu Yiye, but now it seemed that her vision was too low.
Lu Yiye had indeed stirred up a lot of trouble in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and Cloud River Battlefield, attracting the attention of the top Sects of Myriad Demon Ridge.
But after breaking through to the True Lake Realm, there seemed to be no news about him, especially in the past few years. 1
When they were young, they would show off their abilities, but as they grew older, they would slowly fade away. This was a clear sign that they were lacking in stamina.
It seemed that Lu Yiye was such a person. When his cultivation was not high, he had shown extraordinary talent and monstrous talent. With his own strength, he had made many large sects fear him. But now, as his cultivation gradually increased, he slowly returned to mediocrity.
In comparison, a rising star like Li Taibai was the real new force that had suddenly emerged.
In the Spirit Stream Realm and the Cloud River Realm, he hadn't been in the limelight at all. In fact, no one had even heard of him. However, when he reached the True Lake Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm, he suddenly exploded with power. Only people like that could go far, and achieve things that others couldn't. 1
Supposedly, a few tens of years ago, the Jade Blood Sect's Feng Wujiang was such a person. When his cultivation wasn't high, he was extremely mediocre, but once he soared into the sky, he soared through the sky and quickly arrived at a height that ordinary cultivators would never be able to attain in their entire lifetimes. 1
This kind of person was a late bloomer.
Of course, with Li Taibai's age, he couldn't be considered a late bloomer. But that was the logic behind it.
Lin Yue let her imagination run wild. In her heart, Lu Yiye wasn't even fit to carry Li Taibai's shoes. In the recent hundred years, only Feng Wujiang could be mentioned in the same breath as Li Taibai.
"It's my duty. Senior Sister, you're too serious." The doppelganger replied. He looked forward as if he was observing the movements of the insect swarm. In fact, he was paying attention to the situation of the main body.
He had to think of a way to help the main body.
The eight insects were chasing closely. The main body had exhausted too much energy in the battle. Even if he was rapidly replenishing his energy, due to the limited time, it was difficult for him to fully recover.
If he wanted to eliminate the enemy in this battle, he had to work together with the main body and the doppelganger. This was also the reason why the main body led the eight insects to escape in this direction.
Lu Ye didn't know when the reinforcements from the Haotian Alliance would come. Under such circumstances, this was the only choice he could make. As for whether the Shocking Waves Lake Pass could be defended after he left, it wasn't something he could control. He could only hope that the soldiers at the pass could hold on.
No one could help him in a short period of time. But within a thousand miles, there was a natural helper, and that was his doppelganger.
As long as he did it well, even if he couldn't kill all eight insects, he could kill half of them. As for the rest, as long as there wasn't a large-scale insect swarm to help him, they wouldn't be a threat.
The distance was getting closer and closer. The main body had already led the eight insects to the border of the pass.
The doppelganger didn't hesitate anymore. He said, "Senior Sister, I'll go kill another group!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his sword radiance and dashed into the insect swarm. In an instant, the sword Qi was raging. Because he and Lin Yue had killed most of the Divine Sea Realm insects, although there was still a large number of them, they couldn't pose a threat to him anymore.
Of course, the premise was that he didn't stay in the insect swarm for too long. Without the Dragon Emperor's protection, it would be troublesome to be trapped in the insect swarm.
The main body dared to fight in the insect swarm alone because of the Dragon Emperor's protection.
Before Lin Yue could say anything, Li Taibai's figure was drowned by the insect swarm. Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh. However, she was happy that Li Taibai was willing to work so hard. Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, she was satisfied with Li Taibai. This person didn't have the youthful vigor of a young man, nor did he have the arrogance of a genius. He could execute all of her orders perfectly and was approachable to the other soldiers at the pass.
It was easy to get along with such a person. It could be said that Li Taibai had gained a lot of respect in the past few months since he came to the pass. All the soldiers loved and respected him.
Feeling the intense spiritual power fluctuations in the insect swarm, Lin Yue knew that it was Li Taibai killing the enemy. However, she soon realized that something was wrong because the movements of killing the enemy gradually quieted down and disappeared. Even with her Divine Sense, she couldn't detect Li Taibai's aura.
She panicked and hurriedly checked the battlefield imprint. After confirming that Li Taibai's imprint was intact, she hurriedly sent a message, "Junior Brother Taibai, where did you go?"
Not receiving a response, Lin Yue was at a loss for a moment.
At this moment, the doppelganger was rushing in the direction of the main body. It flew straight to the fissure where the insect swarm was surging out. Only then did it slow down and descend toward the fissure.
Hiding in a hidden place, it activated Concealment and Breath Control to enhance itself and quietly lay dormant.
At this moment, the eight insects were circling around the area under the lead of the main body. The reason for this was, firstly, to wait for the doppelganger to get into position. Secondly, it was to stall for time so that it could recover its strength.
Only when the doppelganger was ready did Lu Ye's figure tremble and fly toward the fissure.
The eight giant insects followed closely behind him, unable to shake him off like a pair of irascible sisters.
Lu Ye deliberately lowered his flying altitude, flying only three hundred feet away from the fissure. The dogs and insects followed him without any warning.
Killing intent burst out and sword light flashed.
Sword rays flew out from the cracks in the ground like waterfalls, converging into a river of sword rays. The river of sword rays split into three, turning into three sword dragons, crazily spinning and drilling. In the blink of an eye, they attacked the bottom of the last three hounds.
Although the intelligence of the dogs and insects was higher than that of ordinary insects, it was still limited. Who would have thought that there was a hidden killing intent below? By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
Two of the sword dragons easily tore open the abdomens of the dogs and insects. Sword light poured in and instantly killed them on the spot.
Basically, all insects had a bony carapace on their backs to provide solid protection, but they were not without weaknesses. Their weakness was under their abdomens. Most insects had no carapace protection on their abdomens, including the dogs and insects.
When Lu Ye was entangled with them at the mountain pass earlier, he had exploited this weakness many times and killed two of them.
Nevertheless, the dogs and insects were too agile, so it was difficult to kill them most of the time.
Li Taibai's doppelganger had timed his sneak attack perfectly. Coupled with the sword cultivator's terrifying burst of power, he killed two of the dogs and insects in one fell swoop.
The third dog managed to escape. It was not that the doppelganger's sword control was not good, but that the dog and insect reacted too quickly. When it sensed that something was wrong, it immediately changed directions, causing the sword dragon that was aimed at it to hit empty air.
The three sword dragons suddenly scattered and turned into countless sword lights, which went toward the remaining dogs and insects from behind, forcing them to scatter.
The moment the doppelganger made a move, Ou Yangming's main body also turned around. The fiery-red wings on his back spread out, and with the support of Wind Travel, his speed was raised to the limit in an instant. In a flash, he arrived in front of the nearest dog and unsheathed his Mountain Saber to stab at the dog's ferocious mouth.
The dog and insect were still dodging the doppelganger's sword lights. Who would have thought that the human who was being chased so pathetically by them would suddenly attack?
If two different cultivators worked together, no matter how telepathic they were, they would not be able to coordinate so flawlessly. However, there was no such problem when the main body and the doppelganger worked together.
After all, regardless of whether it was Lu Yiye or Li Taibai, they were all the same person. 7-
The Mountain Saber stabbed over, and the dog and insect could not dodge at all. The saber pierced through its mouth and into its viscera.
The thorny spiritual inscriptions were activated. Lu Ye twisted the saber in his hand and cut open the dog and insect's body.
Lu Ye retracted his saber and slashed down. The huge impact caused the dog and insect to immediately fall down. In mid-air, its blood and broken viscera scattered, and its life was quickly extinguished.
In just a few breaths' time, three of the eight dogs and insects had been killed. There were only five left. This was the advantage of a sneak attack. In a normal fight, one would not be able to kill so many in such a short time.
The earth-shattering sword lights were still attacking from below, forcing the dog and insect to dodge. Although the sword lights were sharp, it was difficult for them to gain anything.
Ou Yangming's main body held his saber and attacked another dog and insect, forcing it to hastily meet the attack head-on. 2
