Lu Ye felt even worse now. If the starship chasing after them was a vengeful ghost, then the lightning pool in front of them was a dragon's lair and a tiger's den!
As expected, things weren't that simple. Zhou Yuchuan's team clearly intended to deal with him and the starship together.
When they were discussing their cooperation, Lu Ye had already realized that such a situation might happen.
He wasn't a fool. He naturally knew that if they really acted according to plan, he, as the bait that led the starship here, would be in the most danger.
If he was familiar with Zhou Yuchuan and the others, they would think of ways to make arrangements to ensure his safety.
However, he didn't know them at all. This was just a temporary cooperation, and the goal was to deal with the starship. Why would Zhou Yuchuan and the others care about his life or death?
It could even be said that from the other side's point of view, dealing with Lu Ye together and also dealing with a strong enemy was simply killing two birds with one stone.
At that time, Zhou Yuchuan and the others didn't mention this matter, and Lu Ye didn't ask either. There were some things that didn't need to be asked. He had never entrusted his safety to others' mercy!
At the same time, a great danger loomed over him.
There were no more meteorites around the Death Star, and Lu Ye's figure was completely exposed to the starship's attack. The top of the starship's cannon began to light up.
At the same time, lightning arcs began to dance in the lightning pool at the top of the barren mountain below.
Almost at the same time, the terrifying power in front of and behind him erupted.
A bright and dazzling beam of light blasted the area where Lu Ye was. In an instant, his figure disappeared without a trace, as if his entire body had vaporized.
In the 935th hall of the Constellation Palace, Chu Shen's face paled. He couldn't help but curse, "Despicable and shameless bastards, don't let me see you again in the future, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
The big boss died!
This was a bolt from the blue for him. To be honest, there weren't many people that he admired in his life because he himself was a genius. Otherwise, even with the support of Rizhao and no lack of cultivation resources, he wouldn't have been able to ascend to the Constellation Palace at such a young age.
A person like him had very high standards. Ordinary cultivators, even Yue Yao, would find it difficult to admire them without his approval. Yue Yao's cultivation was only higher, but it didn't mean that she was better than others.
Fa Wuzun was the first person he admired in his life. The way he addressed Fa Wuzun as' big boss', he was completely convinced. The feeling of being invincible by Fa Wuzun's side was really good.
If it wasn't for his bad luck that he was eliminated early on, he would have been able to follow the big boss and be in the limelight.
However, such a person whom he admired so much and who he thought had an extremely bright future actually died just like that!
Chu Shen's heart ached, his heart grieved, his heart turned cold …
He only felt that the current atmosphere in the cultivation world was too bad. There was no trust between people at all.
In addition, the big boss had promised to give him the disk array after the Chaotic War was over. Now that the big boss was dead, the disk array was probably out of the question.
Chu Shen was disheartened and furious. Most of the cultivators who had placed their attention on Lu Ye also sighed. They had seen with their own eyes how Fa Wuzun's team had defeated the strong with the weak. They had killed so many powerful teams that they couldn't even fight back. They had thought that after this battle, Fa Wuzun's name would spread far and wide. Who would have thought that such a monstrous character would die so early?
Although they felt that Zhou Yuchuan's team's actions were not very proper, this was the way of cultivation. There were risks everywhere. If there was anyone to blame, Fa Wuzun could only blame himself for not being cautious enough.
On the other hand, although the leaders of the various large factions who wanted to buy the disk array from Fa Wuzun felt that it was a pity, they didn't care too much. Fa Wuzun was dead, but the disk array had always been in the hands of one of the women in the team. When the Chaotic War was over, they just had to look for this woman.
They were only glad that Fa Wuzun had the foresight to not let the four women follow him. Otherwise, the disk array would have been destroyed by now.
In the Constellation Palace, everyone had their own thoughts. Under the attention of countless pairs of eyes, when Lu Ye's figure disappeared, a thick pillar of lightning shot up from the mountain peak below. It was like a violent lightning dragon, shaking its head and wagging its tail as it charged towards the starship.
The cultivators on the starship were still immersed in the joy of avenging their dead companions. They didn't expect to encounter danger in the blink of an eye.
A cultivator controlled the array and activated the starship's defense at the last moment. In an instant, a layer of light enveloped the entire starship.
The lightning dragon came crashing down, but it didn't have the terrifying force that they had imagined. Instead, it exploded in an instant, turning into slithering lightning snakes that wrapped around the entire starship.
The seemingly indestructible defense that enveloped the starship was like snowflakes under the scorching sun, quickly melting away under these slithering lightning snakes.
The lightning snakes didn't disappear and continued to slither. In just a moment, the arrays and treasures on the starship were all destroyed. The huge starship was like a bird with broken wings, falling straight from the sky.
A few figures scurried out in a sorry state. Among them was the late-stage weapon cultivator who had fought with Lu Ye before.
In the barren mountains below, Zhou Yuchuan's team, including the two men, were all pale. It was a sign that they had used up too much of their energy.
The short spear treasures were extremely powerful. Activating them naturally consumed a lot of energy. Even though they had set up arrays in advance to help, it had almost drained all of their spiritual energy.
"How did they get here so quickly!" The man who had argued with Lu Ye before spoke.
The plan had succeeded, but it wasn't a complete success. This was because in their plan, it wasn't as simple as destroying the enemy's starship. They were prepared to get rid of the starship and the cultivators driving it as well.
However, their plans couldn't keep up with the changes. They didn't expect Lu Ye to arrive so quickly, causing their arrangements to be incomplete.
This led to the situation where the enemy's starship had failed, but the crew was still intact. On the other hand, two of them had almost lost their ability to fight. Only the woman in the team was still in peak condition.
It wasn't because the woman was stronger, but because Zhou Yuchuan didn't let her participate in activating the short spear's power. That was why she could maintain her combat ability.
This was the result of Zhou Yuchuan's caution. It had to be said that this was an extremely wise decision. Otherwise, the three of them would be just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Recover!" Zhou Yuchuan shouted in a low voice. Then, he turned to look at the woman. "Little Ru, I'll leave them to you!"
The cold-looking woman didn't say a word. In a flash, she stood in front of the two of them and looked up at the sky.
In that direction, a few figures dashed out of the starship. The late-stage weapon cultivator in the lead was coldly sizing up Zhou Yuchuan and the other two.
At this point, how could they not know that they had fallen into Lu Ye's trap? Killing them to steal their treasures was a lie. His real plan was to anger them and lure them here to destroy their starship!
This team wasn't surprised that a treasure that could restrain starships would appear in this chaotic battlefield. They had always been vigilant and prepared. However, some things couldn't be avoided just by being vigilant. In the situation just now, they had no other choice but to chase after Lu Ye until he died.
Therefore, they felt that Zhou Yuchuan's team, Lu Ye, and the ghost cultivator who had killed them and dug out their hearts were all in cahoots!
Fortunately, they had killed two of them one after another. Now, all they had to do was take care of the three of them.
If Zhou Yuchuan and the other two were unharmed, they naturally wouldn't be a match for them. However, at this moment, only one of the three of them had the strength to fight!
The cultivators who jumped out of the starship saw the situation at a glance. What was there to hesitate about? Under the lead of the late-stage weapon cultivator, they didn't hesitate to attack Zhou Yuchuan and the others.
The female cultivator called Little Ru's face became serious. She raised her hands and two spirit treasures hovered beside her. One of them looked like a palm-leaf fan, while the other was a copper ring. However, this copper ring was covered in raging flames.
Seeing that the enemies were coming at her aggressively, the female cultivator immediately urged the power of her spirit treasure. In an instant, the copper ring was covered in flames. Rings of fire flew out to meet the enemies. She raised her hand and grabbed the palm-leaf fan. As she fanned it fiercely, an invisible wind swept out.
The wind increased the intensity of the fire, causing the rings of fire to suddenly become bigger. The flames also became fiercer, forming an extremely tight defense in an instant.
The attacking enemies wanted to force their way through, but they couldn't break through for the time being. They immediately understood that this female cultivator wasn't an ordinary late-stage Constellation Realm cultivator. She was definitely a powerhouse who had left her name on the rankings.
This made the team led by the late-stage weapon cultivator anxious and excited. They were anxious because if they couldn't break through the enemy's attack in a short period of time, then this female cultivator's other two companions had the possibility of recovering. When that time came, the situation would definitely be even worse.
They were excited because they really hadn't fought with a powerhouse on the rankings before. If they could eliminate the other party, then they would have something to brag about in the future.
If they were really familiar with each other, they could still take some risks and make a risky move. However, they were also a team formed at the last minute. They didn't have tight cooperation between each other, so they could only fight steadily.
Although the female cultivator was impressive, she was ultimately alone. Even if the other party didn't cooperate, their numbers were still there.
Gradually, the situation became a little bad for Little Ru.
And just as this battle was getting anxious, Zhou Yuchuan, who was seizing the time to meditate and recover, suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.
In the next instant, his eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
In that direction, there was a person holding a long saber, strolling over leisurely.
Half of his clothes were dyed red with blood. It was obvious that he had been injured before. However, judging from his current aura, he was fine.
Zhou Yuchuan was stunned. "You …"
He really wanted to ask, 'Shouldn't you be dead?' But he appeared here perfectly fine. It was obvious that he had used some method to escape the calamity.
Zhou Yuchuan's companions also opened their eyes. When they saw Lu Ye, they immediately realized that things were not good.
They didn't have good intentions towards Lu Ye's team before. Now that he wasn't dead, and instead appeared here, it was obvious that he wasn't here to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.
Following Lu Ye's sudden appearance, even the team that was fighting Little Ru couldn't help but slow down their movements.
Then, they saw a puzzling scene.
Lu Ye's figure suddenly moved like a fleeing rabbit. He charged towards Zhou Yuchuan and the others with a fierce aura, as if there was some great hatred between them.
They … weren't they together?
