"Senior Brother?" The corner of Saint Mo Hai's eyes twitched.
If he did not hear it with his own ears, he would not believe that a Saint Seed of the Blood Race would address a human in such an intimate manner.
Moreover, this form of address carried some respect.
This made him furious. In the Blood Refining World, the Sacred Clan was noble, and the Sacred Seed was even more superior. The human race was just livestock raised by the Blood Clan, food for blood. Not to mention Lan Qiyue, who was a Sacred Seed, even the ordinary Sacred Clan had the right to kill the human race.
But now, right under his nose, a Saint Seed actually respectfully addressed a human as Senior Brother.
What kind of scandal was this?
When Lan Qiyue ruled this area, she gave many preferential treatment to the Human Race. For example, she never allowed the Sacred Race under her command to harm the Human Race at will. The Sacred Race's blood and flesh were regularly collected from the Human Race's gathering places.
He had heard about these things. He only thought that Lan Qiyue was born kind, just like how there were humans who loved pigs and dogs. Although they loved them, it did not stop them from gorging themselves when they were hungry.
He naturally thought that Lan Qiyue was in a similar situation.
But now, it seemed that things were not as he thought. Lan Qiyue truly approved of humans from the bottom of her heart. Otherwise, why would she address a human as Senior Brother?
Saint Mo Hai was furious. A Saint Seed like Lan Qiyue was undoubtedly a heretic among Saint Seeds! She could not be left alive. Only now did he truly have the intention to kill Lan Qiyue.
His Divine Telekinesis turned into an invisible impact that blasted towards Lan Qiyue. At the same time, he mobilized the power of the Blood River and pressed it in all directions.
Lan Qiyue could not help but groan. The difference in bloodline and strength made her unable to fight back when facing Saint Mo Hai. Previously, she was still able to fight back when Saint Mo Hai was being lenient. Now that he wanted to kill her and no longer held back, she immediately felt her own powerlessness.
Lan Qiyue despaired because she realized that Lu Ye did not retreat. Instead, he rushed towards her at an even faster speed.
Just as Saint Mo Hai was about to punch Lan Qiyue's head, Lu Ye hurriedly arrived. His blade flashed, and the Mountain Blade slashed towards Saint Mo Hai's arm.
Attack the enemy's vital point!
He didn't have the confidence to block Saint Mo Hai's attack before Saint Mo Hai smashed Lan Qiyue's head into pieces, so this was his only choice.
In a battle, the situation often changed rapidly. Most of the time, there was not much room to think. The choices that cultivators could make were basically the most instinctive reactions. This required the accumulation of experience from life and death battles.
Lu Ye's choice at this moment was undoubtedly correct because Mo Hai actually felt a trace of threat when facing such a strike!
This was almost impossible. Every Blood Race cultivator was a natural combination of Body Cultivation and Spirit Dao Cultivation. A Blood Race cultivator like Saint Venerable Mo Hai had an incredibly powerful physique. Lu Ye was just a Fifth Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator. Even if he used all his strength to slash out, it shouldn't pose too much of a threat to him.
But in fact, he did feel threatened.
One had to admit that Saint Venerable Mo Hai's instincts were very sharp.
It was indeed impossible for Lu Ye's saber to cut off his arm. After fighting with the female Saint Seed last time, Lu Ye had experienced the strength of an enemy at this level. Their physique was comparable to a Spirit Artifact, and it wasn't something that could be easily destroyed.
Back then, he also used all his strength to slash at the female Saint Seed's hand, but it only caused some minor injuries to her.
Lu Ye didn't know who was stronger between Saint Venerable Mo Hai and the female Saint Seed, because the strength of a Saint Seed depended on the bloodline.
But he knew that his saber could only cause some superficial wounds to his opponent at most.
But the power of the Soul Splitting Saber was enough to catch his opponent off guard. Once his opponent's Soul was impacted by the power of the Soul Splitting Saber, Lu Ye's attacks would be endless, like a storm.
At that time, the minor injuries would accumulate to major injuries, and then to serious injuries. He would then be able to take the initiative in the battle. At that time, whether he retreated or stayed would depend on how the battle developed.
But his plan didn't work in the end, because Saint Venerable Mo Hai nimbly retracted his arm in the face of such a saber and retreated quickly at the same time.
He had to figure out where his worry and fear came from. If he couldn't figure it out, this battle would be extremely disadvantageous for him.
Saint Venerable Mo Hai retreated at the right time, and Lan Qiyue's crisis was resolved. Lu Ye grabbed her shoulder and fled into the depths of the Blood River. Although he couldn't get rid of Saint Venerable Mo Hai's surveillance, it was better to stay as far away from him as possible.
After a short while, the two of them stood still. Lan Qiyue looked at Lu Ye with a complicated gaze. "Senior Brother, you shouldn't have come."
It was easy to come to a place like the Blood River, but difficult to leave. Even with her restraints, Saint Venerable Mo Hai still had the majority of the initiative in the Blood River after they merged. If Saint Venerable Mo Hai didn't let her go, Lu Ye couldn't leave.
"Let's not talk about this. How are you?" Lu Ye asked as his Divine Thought surged, monitoring Saint Venerable Mo Hai's movements.
"I'm fine." Lan Qiyue shook her head. She was indeed fine. Fortunately, Saint Venerable Mo Hai didn't want to completely fall out with her, so he didn't hit her hard. Although she was injured, they were only minor injuries. The other thing was that she had consumed a lot of energy.
"That's good," Lu Ye responded.
Although he came in time to avoid Lan Qiyue's fate of self-destruction, the current situation was the last thing he wanted to see.
When he was fighting with the female Holy Seed, he had three human seniors by his side. In the end, he spent a lot of effort to force her to self-destruct.
Now, there was only him and Lan Qiyue. Facing an expert like Saint Venerable Mo Hai, it was inevitable that they were alone. Especially in such a battle, Lan Qiyue didn't have much room to perform.
It could even be said that Lu Ye didn't know to what extent he could perform.
This was because before he activated his Blood Art, he didn't know the difference between his bloodline and Saint Venerable Mo Hai's.
He could foresee that Saint Venerable Mo Hai's bloodline wouldn't be too low. After all, he was an old Holy Seed and must have obtained more than one drop of Holy Blood over the years.
Lu Ye wasn't bad either. He had refined the Holy Blood left behind by the female Holy Seed, and his Holy Nature was much stronger than before.
But who was stronger and who was weaker could only be determined by using his Blood Art.
Lu Ye felt that even if his Holy Nature wasn't as good as Saint Venerable Mo Hai's, he wouldn't be completely suppressed.
Moreover, his strength wouldn't be weakened by the suppression of his Holy Nature. This was an advantage that the Blood Race's Holy Seed didn't have. He was only suppressed in the use of his Blood Art.
But in battle, when did he rely on blood arts as his main reliance? He always relied on the long sword in his hand.
Lu Ye took a deep breath and said softly, "Take care of yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, blood energy spread all over his body. Under Lan Qiyue's shocked gaze, a river of blood spread out.
She didn't expect Lu Ye to be able to use the Blood River Technique, a Secret Technique unique to the Blood Race. Moreover, with the use of the Blood River Technique, an indescribable pressure came from Lu Ye.
It was the bloodline suppression of the Holy Seed!
Lan Qiyue couldn't help but be in a daze. [When did Senior Brother … become a Holy Seed?]
What shocked her even more was that the suppression coming from Lu Ye was stronger than Saint Venerable Mo Hai's.
If facing Sacred Venerate Mo Hai was like facing a vicious wolf, then Lu Ye was like a ferocious tiger right now!
His power was obviously stronger than Saint Venerable Mo Hai's.
Saint Venerable Mo Hai was as shocked as Lan Qiyue.
Since Lu Ye appeared and he retreated, Saint Venerable Mo Hai had been paying attention to the Mountain Coiling Sabre in Lu Ye's hand with the help of the Blood River Technique because he felt that a Fifth-Order Divine Sea Realm Human Race cultivator couldn't pose any threat to him. The source of his sense of crisis was most likely this plain-looking sabre.
It was very likely that this sabre had some mysterious power that could hurt him.
As for whether this was true or not, Saint Venerable Mo Hai would know after a little verification. But just as he made up his mind, Lu Ye used his Blood River Technique.
In an instant, Saint Venerable Mo Hai's face changed greatly because he felt an extremely clear suppressive force being transmitted from his opponent's body. This force was invisible, but it caused Saint Venerable Mo Hai's mind to tremble and his vitality to surge. The Blood River in the sky began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye while his own powerful momentum was suppressed to a certain extent.
[A Holy Seed, and a Holy Seed whose bloodline is even nobler than mine!]
Saint Venerable Mo Hai had no idea what was happening. A living Human Race cultivator had inexplicably displayed the power of a Holy Seed while maintaining his human appearance.
Lu Ye, on the other hand, felt relieved!
The situation was much better than he had imagined. Originally, he thought that not being suppressed here would be the best outcome, but now it seemed that he had overestimated Saint Venerable Mo Hai!
This guy's bloodline was even worse than the female Holy Seed he had killed two months ago.
Lu Ye couldn't be blamed for this misjudgment. He had only recently learned about the many tricks between Holy Seeds, and he hadn't encountered many Holy Seeds. Naturally, he couldn't judge the strength of the Holy Seeds' bloodlines.
The female Holy Seed that had been killed was actually very powerful in terms of bloodline alone. However, this kind of power wasn't very useful to the senior of the Human Race and Lu Ye. Therefore, when she died, the Holy Blood left behind after her death benefited Lu Ye.
Lu Ye, who had completely inherited the female Holy Seed's Holy Blood, would only be stronger in terms of Holy Nature because he had refined a drop of Holy Blood himself.
If he had come into contact with more of the Blood Race's Holy Seeds, he would have found that most of them were like Saint Venerable Mo Hai. Their Holy Nature didn't mean that they could grow indefinitely, but there was an invisible limit. Of course, the upper limit of each Holy Seed was different, so there were strong and weak Holy Natures.
Because of this limit, there wouldn't be too many conflicts between Holy Seeds, which was different from what Lu Ye had imagined.
In the end, he still didn't know enough.
