Rushing all the way, the six from the west finally saw the traces of the spirit orb in the distance. They also saw the nine from the east transporting the spirit orb like a group of ants.
With six against nine, the west was no match for the south, but they had no problem dealing with the east.
So from afar, the leading late-stage Constellation cultivator shouted, "East, put down the spirit orb!"
When the people from the west chased over, the east naturally sensed it as well. At this moment, they were all nervous and resentful. Sure enough, what they feared would happen. While they were transporting the spirit orb, they had been worried that the west would catch up, so they didn't dare delay for a moment. They only wanted to quickly send the spirit orb back to the main camp, but in the end, they were still caught up.
At this time, there was still some distance between them, but the speed of transporting the spirit orb was not as fast as others flying in the void, so it wouldn't take long for them to be caught up.
Seeing the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer, Haitang sent a message to Lu Ye, "Junior Brother Lu, can you use the blood path secret technique to trap them again?"
In the current situation, if Lu Ye could use the blood path secret technique to trap the enemy, then they would have a chance to safely send the spirit orb back.
"I can't do it!" Lu Ye shook his head. The Blood River Technique also had its limits. He could trap one mid-stage Constellation cultivator and two early-stage Constellation cultivators, but he couldn't trap the remaining six at once, especially when there was one late-stage Constellation cultivator and two mid-stage Constellation cultivators among them.
If he really did that, he could only trap them for a dozen breaths at most. Wasting his strength for nothing was not worth the loss.
"Then what should we do?"
Lu Ye said indifferently, "Kill!"
Haitang understood. Since things had come to this, they could only fight the west side. They couldn't just give up the spirit orb just because the other side came, that would be too spineless.
Moreover, due to the special nature of the Black Abyss, even if they died in battle, they wouldn't really die. So even if the overall strength of the east side was weaker, they still had the courage to fight the enemy to the death.
"Then let's fight!" Haitang's expression became determined, and she quickly arranged the battle strategy, "Junior Brother Lu, I'll take some people to pin down the late-stage Constellation cultivator. The other two mid-stage Constellation cultivators will be left to you and Junior Brother Han. As for the remaining three early-stage Constellation cultivators … you two teams do your best to keep them busy!"
"No problem!" Lu Ye nodded.
Haitang sent a message to the east side, and immediately prepared.
It could be seen that Haitang was only doing her best with this arrangement. She did not really expect anything. However, even if she knew that there would be no good result, she could only fight.
The distance between the two sides continued to shrink until a certain moment, Haitang suddenly turned around and shouted, "Kill!"
He led his team of two and charged towards the enemy's frontline.
At the same time, Lu Ye's and Han Molong's teams also turned around and followed behind.
Seeing this, the late-stage Star Constellation cultivator in the west laughed out loud. "Good timing!"
He was afraid that the eastern side wouldn't take the bait and would instead harass them. If that was the case, then even if they managed to snatch the spirit orbs, their journey would be slowed down under the harassment. Now that the southern side was transporting the spirit orbs, it wouldn't take long for them to settle down. At that time, the southern side would definitely rush over.
If the Southern Alliance intercepted them while they were transporting the spirit orbs, they would be in big trouble.
Therefore, even though the western side was aggressive and looked like they were determined to get the spirit ball, they were still worried about their gains and losses.
Seeing that the eastern side didn't give up on the spirit orbs and instead charged towards them, it was naturally to their liking.
This late-stage Star Constellation cultivator was the strongest, so he naturally charged the fastest. With a sweep of his Divine Perception, he already knew the details of Haitang's team and charged forward without a care. Even if he had to fight one against three, he was still full of confidence.
In an instant, a great battle broke out. Haitang's team and the late-stage Star Constellation cultivator were fighting.
Lu Ye's and Han Molong's teams tacitly swept past the left and right sides of the battlefield and met the two mid-stage Star Constellation cultivators who were rushing over from behind.
These two mid-stage Star Constellation cultivators behaved the same as the late-stage Star Constellation cultivator. They sensed that the enemy was only at the early-stage Star Constellation cultivator and didn't take them seriously at all.
In an instant, as they activated their spiritual power, two more battles broke out.
Immediately after, it was the withering of life aura!
The commotion caused by the death of a Star Constellation cultivator was not small. The sudden disappearance of such a vigorous aura naturally attracted attention.
Both sides of the battle were stunned. Because none of them had expected that someone would actually die as soon as the battle began!
Almost everyone thought that the eastern Star Constellation cultivator had died in battle. After all, the difference in their strength was obvious. However, when they looked at the place where the aura had withered, they were all shocked!
At that location, a bloody rain exploded like a blooming blood rose. From that blood rose, three figures bathed in the rain of blood brazenly charged out. The person in the lead was Lu Ye, who was wielding a saber. On the pitch-black blade, a grand light retracted. Behind him, Huang Li and Xiao Xinghe followed closely.
A mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator from the western side had died!
The late-stage Star Constellation cultivator who was fighting with Haitang's team was shocked and blurted out, "How can this be?"
He was very clear about the strength of his own mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator. Even if it was another mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator, it was impossible for them to kill him in one move.
However, the enemy had only dispatched three early-stage Star Constellation cultivators to do this … The scene that was imprinted in his eyes was truly beyond his understanding. How did they do it? He was only focused on suppressing Haitang's team earlier and didn't pay attention to what happened over there. Moreover, this unforeseen event had indeed happened too quickly.
With him in a daze, the pressure on Haitang's team was greatly reduced.
Although they had only exchanged blows for a few breaths of time, Haitang's team could already feel the difference in strength between them. Even if the three of them used the Twin Qi Connected Branch Formation Disk, they definitely wouldn't be a match for the other party.
In the end, it was still because Haitang's strength wasn't enough. It was true that she was a mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator, but she had only advanced a few years ago. The strength that she could unleash was truly limited. If she was given another ten years, her performance wouldn't be so bad.
On the other side, Han Molong's team and even their opponents were similarly stunned.
However, Han Molong's reaction was very fast. He only glanced at Lu Ye's side before urging his spiritual power again and attacking wildly.
Among the nine people from the eastern side, only he had truly experienced Lu Ye's strength. To think that he was at the peak of the early-stage Star Constellation, it wouldn't take long for him to step into the mid-stage Star Constellation. Back then, halfway up Immortal Spirit Peak, he was beaten to a pulp by Lu Ye. Moreover, Lu Ye clearly didn't use his full strength that time.
Therefore, Han Molong had always known that Lu Ye was at least a mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator. He understood that the mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator that Lu Ye dealt with definitely wouldn't have a good ending, but he didn't expect him to die so quickly.
The development of the situation was extremely advantageous to his side, so what he had to do was simple. He only needed to pin down the enemy on his side, and the rest didn't need to be considered at all.
With such considerations and actions, he actually managed to force the mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator back. The western side cultivator's foundation wasn't weak. If there really wasn't any interference, Han Molong's team might not be a match for him. His current performance wasn't good. On one hand, it was because his mind was shaken by the death of his companion. On the other hand, he was afraid that Han Molong's side would suddenly erupt with some method that could instantly kill him.
He had to take precautions against his companion's example.
Everything happened in a flash. After Lu Ye killed the mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator, he turned into a streak of light and went to meet the three early-stage Star Constellation cultivators at the back.
"Oh no!" Huang Li and Xu Xinghe's expressions both changed, and they hurriedly followed. However, their minds were also shaken just now, which caused their rhythm to be half a beat slower. This time, they couldn't keep up with Lu Ye's figure, and the Twin Qi Connected Branches formation disk lost its effect.
Previously, when they were intercepting the western side cultivators, Lu Ye injured a mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator with one slash, which made them dazzled. They originally thought that it was Lu Ye's full strength, but who knew that it was just a small display of his strength.
The external aid that the headquarters invited had the ability to kill enemies above his realm, and it was an instant kill!
The two of them found it hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be if Lu Ye went all out.
However, this wasn't the time to sigh with emotion. In the pursuit, they saw Lu Ye meet a western early-stage Star Constellation cultivator head-on. He forcibly endured the other party's attacks and brazenly killed the enemy. Crisscrossing saber lights flashed past, and another life force withered.
The remaining two early-stage Star Constellation cultivators had never seen such a straightforward way of killing the enemy. At this moment, when they saw Lu Ye pouncing towards them, they immediately dodged to the left and right, their hearts palpitating uneasily.
Lu Ye chased after one of them, while the other was restrained by Huang Li and Xu Xinghe who were rushing over. For a moment, the situation was dire.
The early-stage Star Constellation cultivator being chased by Lu Ye knew that he was definitely not a match for him. As he fled, he took out a purple talisman, poured spiritual power into it, and slapped it on his body.
In an instant, a layer of golden light gushed out of his body.
Lu Ye recognized at a glance that this was a golden body talisman. However, it was different from the golden body talismans he had come into contact with in the Nine Provinces. The golden body talisman from the Human Clan's Star Constellation Realm was undoubtedly much more powerful.
In fact, this was indeed the case. When Lu Ye caught up to this person, even with the Mountain Saber blessed with the Divine Edge Spirit Pattern, it took him three full slashes to break the golden body talisman and kill him on the spot.
Before this early-stage Star Constellation cultivator died, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
One had to know that this golden body talisman had been nourished for a full 30 years. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for cultivators of the same level to break it. It would take a long time to wear it down and fiercely attack, but now, it was broken by just three slashes!
This made him wonder if he was too nervous and used the wrong talisman.
If this was a normal golden body talisman, wouldn't it be broken in one slash? What a ferocious slash!
After Lu Ye finished off his opponent, he immediately gathered with Huang Li and Xu Xinghe. With the three of them working together, how could the early-stage Star Constellation cultivator survive?
The three-person team then turned to the battlefield of Han Molong's team. After a fierce battle, the mid-stage Star Constellation cultivator who was entangled by Han Molong's team also followed in his companion's footsteps.
At this point, only one late-stage Star Constellation cultivator remained among the six who attacked the western region! Since the outbreak of this great battle until now, only 50 breaths of time had passed.
This person was also very decisive. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately left the battlefield. Even if Haitang tried her best to entangle him, she was unable to make him stay.
The people of the eastern region gathered again, but only eight of the original nine people were left.
Although five people from the western region died in battle, the eastern region was not unscathed. One of Haitang's team members was killed by the late-stage Star Constellation cultivator.
