Four small circulatory cycles surged within his body as spiritual energy surged within his spiritual cavities, closing the distance between them bit by bit!
Thirty meters, thirty meters, eighty meters …
After being pushed back, he charged forward once more.
Blood trickled from the corner of Lu Ye's mouth as his chest tightened. He'd originally wanted to get as close to Dong Shuye as possible, but when it came to actually doing so, he realized that he'd been taking things for granted.
The closer the distance, the harder it would be to dodge the enemy's spells. With Lu Ye's current eyesight, he could grasp the trajectory of the spells from a distance of thirty meters, but it would be very difficult to do so within thirty meters.
If it weren't for the fact that he'd constantly activated his defenses, he would've long been unable to hold on.
Eighty meters was his limit, but that was about it!
When he was within eighty meters of Dong Shuye again, he roared, "Hu Po!"
"Roar!" Hu Po, who'd disappeared into the rain before the battle began, suddenly roared from behind Dong Shuye.
Dong Shuye was already on guard against Hu Po, so when the tiger's roar rang out, he turned his head and sent a Golden Crescent Slash in that direction. The golden crescent-shaped slash cut through the curtain of rain, but it didn't seem to hit anything. Hu Po was quick-witted, and immediately left his original spot after creating a commotion.
Dong Shuye didn't tangle with Hu Po. He more or less understood Lu Ye's plan. He probably wanted to use his pet beast to capture the silkpants young master and use that to threaten him.
Such a childish trick wouldn't succeed. If the tiger dared to come within thirty meters of him, he'd be able to kill it in an instant! An animal wouldn't use spirit runes to block, and the silkpants young master was standing ten meters behind him. He was completely capable of protecting him while dealing with Lu Ye.
So after forcing Hu Po to retreat, he immediately turned around to deal with Lu Ye. But before he could activate his techniques, a wave of spiritual energy came from above.
Looking up, he saw a large bell flickering with spiritual light crashing down, quickly blocking out the light in front of him.
It was the Profound Spirit Bell!
How could he not recognize the protective spirit artifact of the Nine Stars Sect's young master? When the Xuanling Bell fell, he wanted to dodge, but he missed the best opportunity. The light in front of him was blocked, and he was completely covered!
His face sank as he realized that he had been too careless. He also finally understood why Lu Yiye was constantly approaching him despite his attacks. Lu Yiye wasn't here to attack him, but simply to close the distance. If the distance was too far, the Profound Spirit Bell might not be able to trap him.
A moment of carelessness had caused him to be trapped by the Profound Spirit Bell. However, this spirit weapon itself was used to protect the body. Although it had the effect of trapping the enemy, it was not obvious. In terms of understanding of the Profound Spirit Bell, Dong Shuye was better than Lu Ye.
Just as he was about to cast a spell to break the binding of the bell, the Profound Spirit Bell flew up again.
Dong Shuye raised his head and looked in the direction where the Xuanling Bell had landed. His face turned gloomy.
On the other side, Lu Ye had one hand around the hedonistic young master's neck, and a long knife was pressed against his neck. His entire body was curled up behind the hedonistic young master, and only one of his eyes could be seen, which he viciously glared at him.
Killing Dong Shuye two or three realms above him? Lu Ye had never imagined such a thing would happen. Although he had killed some Fifth-Order masters before, Dong Shu Ye was far stronger than any of them. The confrontation just now had also proven this point. Lu Ye had no way to get within eight metres of Dong Shu Ye.
If he couldn't even get close, how could he kill him? Could he rely on his fat bird technique that could make his enemies laugh to death? The weather wasn't suitable for Fire Attribute techniques either.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Ye's target was very clear, the mortal young master that Dong Shuye had brought here!
He didn't know the identity of this young master, but from the way he addressed Dong Shuye, it was obvious that he had a great background. If he wanted to escape, he could only capture this young master and use him as a hindrance.
Hu Po and Lu Ye's cooperation was flawless, and this was definitely due to Yiyi. Although they hadn't agreed on a plan before, Yiyi understood Lu Ye's plan from the start of the battle.
The tiger's roar had created an opportunity for Lu Ye to summon the Profound Spirit Bell.
When their gazes met, Lu Ye saw the anger in Dong Shuye's eyes, and Dong Shuye saw the ruthlessness in Lu Ye's eyes.
The debauchee young master was already cold to the point of tears and snot, and now that he had a knife to his neck, he couldn't remain calm, "You guys can fight, why are you looking for me!?"
All this time, he had lacked the respect he should have for cultivators, because with the strength of his family, he could do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't go too far. Those beautiful female cultivators were also his playthings.
He felt that the so-called cultivators were just that.
But soon, he realized the seriousness of the problem because a chill and pain came from his neck. He panicked, "Old Dong, save me!"
Dong Shuye only stared at Lu Ye, the anger in his eyes growing stronger.
"Tell him to scram, or you'll die!" Behind the debauchee young master, Lu Ye said in a deep voice.
"Brother, calm down, you're hurting me."
"Tell him to scram!"
"Okay, okay, okay, Old Dong, go away!"
Dong Shuye said, "If I leave, you'll die without a doubt!"
The debauchee young master came to a realization, "That's right …"
"If he doesn't leave, you'll die now. If he leaves, I won't make things difficult for you!"
"You promise?"
"Cut the crap!"
The pain in his neck grew stronger, and the debauchee young master felt a warm liquid flowing down his neck. He didn't hesitate anymore, "Old Dong, hurry up and leave. I'll be safe if you leave."
Dong Shuye stared at Lu Ye, his face full of unwillingness. Thinking of his recent encounters, his expression twisted and his heart burned with killing intent, but in the end, he suppressed it and said in a deep voice, "Swear to the heavens! If you don't swear to the heavens, you won't be able to leave today! "
Lu Ye looked at him for a moment, then said, "I respectfully request the heavens. If Dong Shuye doesn't make things difficult for me, I'll let this mortal go and return his freedom in three days!"
The heavens had mysteriously fallen.
Although Dong Shuye's heart was unsettled, this was the best result. He looked deeply at Lu Ye, "Remember what you said."
He stepped into the rain.
One step, two steps, three steps …
He stopped, looked up at the sky, and let the rain fall on his face, suddenly laughing self-deprecatingly, "What a mess!"
Two months ago, he had chased down a Third-Order cultivator with a Seventh-Order cultivation, but due to a moment of carelessness, he had failed. Two months later, as a Sixth-Order, he had tried to kill a Fourth-Order cultivator but still failed.
His Spirit Aperture had been broken, his cultivation had fallen, and his future was hopeless. For this reason, he had even betrayed his Sect, and after finally finding refuge, he had become a mortal's bodyguard.
The other party's cultivation had risen too quickly. If he missed this opportunity, would there be a next time? He had fallen into such a situation all because of this person, how could he not take revenge for such a deep hatred!?
Pushing his Spirit Qi, Dong Shuye suddenly raised his hand and pointed towards Lu Ye, sending out a Golden Arc Slash.
Almost as soon as he stopped, Lu Ye felt that something was wrong. Just as the Golden Crescent Slash was about to hit him, he grabbed the debauchee Young Master in front of him and rushed forward. In just a few steps, he had covered a distance of several feet, while the Profound Spirit Bell in his other hand was instantly summoned.
The sharp slash split the dandy Young Master in half, his blood spilling all over the ground as it struck the defensive Spirit Inscription on Lu Ye's chest, shattering it and sending Lu Ye flying.
The Profound Spirit Bell fell and once again covered Dong Shuye, but in the next moment, a violent sound rang out and the surface of the bell began to flicker.
* Roar! * Hu Po rushed out of the rain and rushed directly to Lu Ye's side. Lu Ye leapt onto his tiger's back and slapped a Wind Walking Spirit Talisman onto Hu Po.
"Run!"
[Dong Shuye is crazy!]
Lu Ye didn't know who that dandy Young Master was, but since he could order Dong Shuye around, he obviously had some background. Dong Shuye had clearly reached an agreement with him before, but in the blink of an eye, he had turned hostile. In order to kill him, Dong Shuye didn't hesitate to sacrifice the mortal Young Master's life!
Lu Ye felt Dong Shuye's determination to kill him. At this moment, his Spirit Qi was greatly consumed and his internal organs were injured, so he couldn't fight Dong Shuye anymore. He could only escape, not even daring to take back the Profound Spirit Bell.
Just after Hu Po carried him away for a dozen breaths, the Profound Spirit Bell suddenly exploded and Dong Shuye appeared with a murderous aura. Although his face was covered in dirt, he had finally escaped.
After a brief glance, he determined the direction in which Lu Ye had fled and soared into the air to pursue. This time, without the silkpants Young Master, his speed was noticeably faster.
The rain gradually thinned and two hours later, the rain stopped. A rainbow hung in the sky like a bridge. Several cultivators rushed to the previous battlefield and found three corpses and traces of a fight.
Recognizing one of the corpses, the cultivators felt their scalps tingle. Their dandy Young Master was dead, the sky had fallen …
Not long after, the news spread and the dandy Young Master's family immediately issued an arrest warrant for Dong Shuye. However, at this moment, Dong Shuye had already chased Lu Ye for an unknown distance.
As night fell, Hu Po carried Lu Ye and rushed into a rocky forest. Here, there were numerous thick stone pillars, each of them more than sixty meters tall. There were countless stone pillars densely packed together.
Hu Po had run out of strength and had used up all three Windwalk cards. Fortunately, Dong Shuye had stopped chasing two hours ago. Lu Ye estimated that this guy's Spirit Qi was almost exhausted.
After all, he had been chasing for such a long time. Even if Dong Shuye's cultivation was higher than his, he couldn't withstand it.
On the other hand, Lu Ye's Spirit Qi hadn't been exhausted and had even replenished it while Hu Po was fleeing.
Although Lu Ye knew that Dong Shuye wouldn't let the matter rest and wanted to run as far away as possible, it was true that Hu Po couldn't run anymore. When Windwalk was activated, it could run even faster, but at the same time, it also consumed more of its energy.
He didn't need to rest, but Hu Po did.
There was a natural shelter under the stone pillars. Yi Yi found a relatively secluded spot and Hu Po ran over and directly lay down on the ground. His chest was heaving up and down, his tongue hanging out, just like a tired dog.
Yi Yi felt distressed as she watched. She gritted her teeth and scolded Dong Shuye for being inhumane while feeding Hu Po water.
Lu Ye checked his injuries. There were no obvious external injuries, only some internal injuries caused by the impact of the battle with Dong Shuye. It wasn't serious and could be healed after taking a healing pill.
From Dong Shuye's actions during the day, he would never give up chasing him. He couldn't keep running like this in the future, but a Fourth-Order Origin Realm cultivation was still a bit too much for him.
If he could reach the Fifth-Order Origin Realm, Lu Ye felt that he could fight Dong Shuye!
