While escaping, she found the trace of Lu Ye. Yu Yaorao also thought of asking him for help, but this idea only turned in her mind for a moment before she gave up.
First of all, there was no deep friendship between her and Lu Ye. When she was in trouble, she was in no position to ask him for help.
Second of all, even if she really put down her face to ask for help, it was unknown whether he was willing to help.
Taking a step back, even if Lu Ye was really willing to help her, it was also a problem whether he could fight against these two pursuers.
She knew that Lu Ye's strength was not weak. Before the treasure gourd matured, she had thought of winning him over, but from the battle of the Divine Ocean until now, which one of them was still alive? Now that she was seriously injured, the role she could play was extremely limited. If she really insisted on involving Lu Ye in this dispute, it would only bring trouble to him. So after a simple consideration, she turned around and continued to escape.
One of the two pursuers behind her went to deal with Lu Ye. Yu Yaorao could feel it, and she couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. Although it wasn't her intention, she still implicated him.
Just when she was considering whether to turn around and cooperate with Lu Yiye and fight to the death, an extremely violent spiritual fluctuation suddenly erupted behind her, followed by a scream.
Yu Yaorao was shocked. She was too familiar with this kind of short scream. Generally, it was the sound of a cultivator who was about to die.
Sure enough, along with the scream, there was obviously the sound of vitality being annihilated.
Who was it?
While fleeing in panic, Yu Yaorao didn't even have time to look back, because once she looked back, the speed of her escape was bound to be delayed.
But the movement behind her made her unable to restrain her curiosity. When she hurriedly turned her head to look back, she couldn't help but be stunned on the spot by what she saw!
The pursuer behind her was fighting fiercely with someone at the moment. Their spiritual weapons collided, making clanging sounds and splashing sparks.
The one who was fighting with this pursuer was Lu Yiye from the Nine Heavens Realm. However, the other pursuer who went to deal with Lu Yiye before had disappeared.
When Yu Yaorao recalled the previous miserable shriek and the annihilation of life force, how could she not know the fate of that pursuer?
She slowly stopped moving and stared blankly. Her eyes were quickly filled with disbelief because she was shocked to discover that the seemingly intense battle was actually one-sided. Instead of saying that the two people in the fierce battle were entangled with each other, it was better to say that one side was suppressed by the other to the point of being unable to fight back.
Lu Yiye had the absolute advantage! Lu Yiye's figure shifted and his long saber chopped down. The pursuers, who were also weapon cultivators, could only parry Lu Yiye's storm-like attacks.
This fellow had been so arrogant and despotic when he was chasing after him with another person, but now, he was in such a sorry state.
Yu Yaorao couldn't help but be absent-minded. She had been participating in the Divine Sea competition for more than two months now. She had seen many battles between monstrous geniuses of various worlds, and she had even personally fought with others. But basically, in such a battle, even if one side had the upper hand, the difference wouldn't be too great. It was very difficult for one side to have an overwhelming advantage.
This was especially true for those who were still alive at this point in time. They were the real elites among the elites, and none of them were easy to deal with.
So, when she saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, she couldn't help but feel that it was unreal.
This was purely a one-sided beating, as if an adult was dealing with a child. They were both armament cultivators, but the pursuer was far from Lu Yiye's in terms of strength, speed, spiritual power, and combat experience. All of these factors were the crux of the problem that put the pursuer in a disadvantageous position.
[This guy … is so strong?]
Yu Yaorao had always known that he wasn't weak, but she never expected him to be strong to this extent. Even Zhao Yun Liu was inferior to him.
If he had such strength at the Eighth Order Divine Sea Realm, what would happen if he reached the Ninth Order Divine Sea Realm? Yu Yaorao didn't dare to imagine it. After following Zhao Yun Liu for a while, she felt that she had seen what kind of strength a monster from a top-level world had, but it wasn't until now that she understood that what she saw wasn't accurate. In this world, there would always be a higher mountain.
Her nervous mood relaxed a little as she knew that this calamity was over.
The breath she had been holding in her heart dissipated, and she could no longer hold on. Her vision turned dark as she fell straight down from the sky.
Along with her, the body of the second pursuer fell, but unfortunately, Yu Yaorao didn't see it.
Before she landed on the ground, Lu Ye had already flown over and wrapped her up with his Spirit Energy. Sweeping her with his Divine Sense, he found that this woman was seriously injured. He didn't know what she had encountered before, nor did he know where her two companions had gone.
Looking at Yu Yaorao, who had fallen into a coma, Lu Ye frowned, feeling quite troubled.
It wasn't appropriate to leave her alone. After all, she wasn't a stranger he hadn't interacted with. Whether it was in the Fairy Tree World or the Good Fortune Vine, Yu Yaorao had helped him a lot. This could be considered a favour, and since he had received a favour from her, he naturally had to find a way to repay it.
In her current state, if he really left her alone, once she was discovered, she would definitely die without a burial place. Especially since this woman was extremely charming and enchanting. If she were to encounter someone with ill intentions, she would probably suffer torture worse than death.
However, it was somewhat inconvenient to carry an unconscious person in the Alpha Origin stage.
After some consideration, he could only bring her along for the time being and wait for her to wake up.
Yu Yaorao's injuries were much more serious than Lu Ye had imagined. After being injured, she should have experienced several great battles that had damaged her vitality, making her recovery particularly slow.
Lu Ye didn't know anything about medical cultivation, so he naturally couldn't provide any good treatment. At most, he could only feed her a few healing pills.
After sleeping for several days, Yu Yaorao finally woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she was clearly very confused, but she soon remembered everything that had happened before she fell unconscious. She quickly got up and vigilantly scanned her surroundings. Her Spirit Energy, which had yet to fully recover, was ready to be unleashed.
Then, she saw Lu Ye, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, looking like he was in a trance.
Sensing movement, Lu Ye turned his head and glanced at her. He nodded slightly, but didn't say anything and continued to be in a trance.
Seeing him like this, Yu Yaorao's heart relaxed. She checked her own condition and found that although her injuries were still serious, they were in the process of recovery. There was still the taste of healing pills in her mouth. Someone must have fed them to her after she fell unconscious.
Her clothes were intact and there were no signs that they had been undone. There was nothing abnormal about her body. She couldn't help but curse herself for measuring the heart of a gentleman with her own mean measure. However, as a woman, especially a beautiful woman like her, the first thing she should do after waking up from her coma was to examine herself. It was something that couldn't be blamed for.
This movement made her feel weak from the inside out. Even her complexion became pale. She coughed softly and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Lu. If Junior Brother hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to survive. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace."
Lu Ye waved his hand and said, "Senior Sister Yu, you are too serious. Junior Brother has also received Senior Sister's kindness. Let's just treat it as reciprocity."
"It's not the same." Yu Yaorao shook her head. She didn't have any kindness to Lu Ye. She had only answered some of his doubts, but Lu Ye had saved her life. At that time, if Lu Ye hadn't saved her, she wouldn't have survived. Moreover, Lu Ye didn't care about this, but she couldn't not care about it. This was a matter of principle. She had to remember the kindness in her heart. As for how to repay it … she wasn't sure. She couldn't repay him with her body here, otherwise, she would belittle herself and others.
Yu Yaorao wanted to say something more, but Lu Ye didn't want to be entangled in this matter. For him, it was really a piece of cake, and he also got two more benefits.
"Where are your two companions?" asked Lu Ye.
Yu Yaorao's eyes dimmed slightly as she sighed, "Fellow Daoist Ding died in battle, and Fellow Daoist Zhao was separated from me. I don't know where he is or if he's still alive."
Even if their team of three wasn't weak, and even if Zhao Yunliu was a monster from a top domain, it was still difficult for them to advance in the Alpha-Origin stage. The three of them had previously encountered another team, and the leader of that team just so happened to be from a domain that had a deep grudge with the Conquerstar. Therefore, a fierce battle naturally ensued.
In the fierce battle, Ding You was killed, and she and Zhao Yunliu were separated. Later, they were chased to the point that they had nowhere to run, and then they encountered Lu Ye.
This was actually a microcosm of the current Alpha-Origin stage. At this stage, even the monsters from the top domains couldn't guarantee that they would have the last laugh.
Now that she thought about it, Yu Yaorao felt that it was a pity. Back then, she had tried to rope in Lu Ye on the Fortune Vine, but was obstructed by Zhao Yunliu.
Now, it seemed that if they had roped in Lu Ye at that time, with the strength Lu Ye had displayed, their team of four would not have ended up in such a state, either dead or injured.
However, Zhao Yunliu had his own considerations back then, and as a member of the same team, Yu Yaorao naturally couldn't disobey him.
There was no point in regretting it now. Their ending could only be attributed to their bad luck.
After saying a few words, Yu Yaorao gasped for breath, her body clearly extremely weak.
Lu Ye asked, "Senior sister, what do you plan to do next?"
In his view, Yu Yaorao's best choice was to leave the Alpha-Origin stage. She needed some time to recover from her injuries, and during this process, it would be difficult for her to display her full strength. Currently, the range of activity in the Alpha-Origin stage was getting smaller and smaller. Once she encountered an enemy, she would basically be at their mercy.
The reward for victory was indeed pretty good, and was something that every Divine Sea stage cultivator yearned for. However, relatively speaking, one's life was the most important. Where there was life, there was hope.
