Therefore, Lu Ye felt that the Skeleton General was not at his peak. Otherwise, he would not have only revealed the aura of a constellation.
His left eye socket had been pierced by a dagger, extinguishing a wisp of will-o '-the-wisp. His loss of strength likely had something to do with that.
If the opponent was Yue Yao at full strength, the three of them would only be able to restrain her even if they formed a formation. It would be impossible to kill her unless Lu Ye was willing to use the red talisman.
However, if it was a weakened Yue Yao, the three of them might be able to kill her with their formation.
The doors to the hall were closed, and they could not even leave. Given the situation, it was just as Pu Ke had said. Either the enemy died or they perished. There was no other choice.
The Skeleton General was already very close. Lu Ye was glad that the fellow seemed to be in a daze and did not use any long-range attacks. Otherwise, the three of them would have nowhere to hide even though the hall was not small.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw the Skeleton General raise the huge sword in his hand. There were signs of surging spiritual energy as the tip of the huge sword emitted a stunning glow.
The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. What he feared most really happened …
The next moment, the Skeleton General's huge sword slashed down as a pale golden sword beam tore through the air. Lu Ye immediately dodged to the side. Under the guidance of the formation, Pu Ke and Spectre also moved with him.
The sword beam slashed past Spectre's side, stirring up a strong wind that caused her skin to turn cold.
With a loud bang, the entire hall trembled. The Sword Ray had slashed into the back of the hall. It was unknown what material the hall was made of, but such a powerful Sword Ray did not even leave a mark on it.
Just as Lu Ye and company steadied themselves, another sword beam came at them, followed by the Skeleton General's continuous attacks.
After dodging for a moment, Lu Ye knew that this could not go on. If the three of them continued moving in unison, there would be limited space for them to maneuver. The Skeleton General's attacks were fast and fierce. The three of them could dodge for a short period of time, but over time, they would definitely make mistakes.
"Disperse!" Lu Ye bellowed.
Pu Ke and Spectre decisively left his side.
Although they were separated, their auras were still tightly connected.
The area that the Twin Qi Connecting Branch Formation Disk could cover was not small, so it was not a problem for it to cover the entire hall. Therefore, as long as the three of them were in the hall, they could maintain the formation.
Originally, Lu Ye was the one leading the formation, while Pu Ke and Ghost were only responsible for providing support. Now, however, they were a true trinity. There was no distinction between the leader and the subordinate.
This was a flexible change in the battle formation. The three people present were all veterans of battle. Naturally, they knew what to do at this moment to benefit the battle situation the most.
Although the three figures had separated, the Skeleton General seemed to have locked onto Lu Ye. The sword beams slashed at him, leaving him in an extremely wretched state.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pu Ke tossed the fishing rod in his hand. As if he was fishing, a long line of spiritual energy flew out. Like a long needle, it pierced towards the Skeleton General's right eye socket.
The Skeleton General, who was madly attacking Lu Ye, did not even look in Pu Ke's direction. He simply raised his left hand and casually grabbed the long line of spiritual energy in front of him. With a slight shake, Pu Ke's spiritual energy collapsed.
The Skeleton General suddenly turned around and slashed down with the giant sword in his hand. In the direction of the slash, Spectre's ghostly figure appeared and retreated in time, crying out in alarm.
Lu Ye finally withdrew his hand. The Scarlet Dragon Saber in his hand had been swapped for the Mountain Pan Saber.
Although the shape, length, and weight of the two sabers were almost the same, weapon cultivators relied heavily on their own weapons. This was an indelible drawback. When Lu Ye held the Scarlet Dragon Saber, he always felt that something was wrong. Although it did not affect his strength too much, it was still at least ten percent of it.
In other words, even if Lu Ye used his full strength with the Scarlet Dragon Saber, he could only display ninety percent of his usual strength.
In the face of such a strong enemy, he did not dare to hold back. He had to switch to the Mountain Pan Saber.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Skeleton General attacked Spectre, he took a step forward and instantly appeared behind the Skeleton General. The next moment, a blinding saber beam burst out like a sun.
With the sudden burst of light, it was like a lotus flower was slowly blooming. Every petal was the convergence of a sharp and pure saber beam.
The instant the lotus flower was destroyed, Lu Ye's figure flew backward. The Skeleton General's giant sword was only an inch away from slashing into his abdomen.
Taking a closer look, the Skeleton General was unscathed. This gave Lu Ye a headache.
One had to know that the lotus flower was his strongest saber art to date. That instantaneous burst of strength should not have been something any Constellation Constellation could withstand. Yet, the Skeleton General did not seem to care at all.
Even if this fellow only displayed the aura of a Constellation Constellation, she was still Yue Yao.
When Lu Ye retreated, Pu Ke and Spectre's attacks also arrived. Pu Ke was still holding his fishing rod and constantly striking, as though he was baiting the Skeleton General like a fish. His spiritual energy threads constantly stabbed at the enemy's weak points from all angles, but to no avail. They were all easily resolved by the Skeleton General.
It was not that Pu Ke was cowardly and did not dare go forward, but that was his combat style. Forcefully going forward would only increase the risk.
Spectre was constantly attempting to attack, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not get within thirty feet of the Skeleton General. She would be forced to retreat the moment she approached.
The two immediately understood that they had to rely on Fa Wuzun in order to win this battle.
He was a true Armament cultivator and was best at close combat. And against an enemy like the Skeleton General, only such a method of close combat had a chance of finishing him off!
Therefore, there was only one thing the two could do — restrain the enemy and create an opportunity for Fa Wuzun to attack.
That was what they thought, and that was what they did.
The trio's auras were constantly connected, and the three-man formation was maintained. The primary and secondary positions were unpredictable, and no matter who tried to attack, they could instantly borrow the strength of the other two to strengthen their offense.
Although it was their first time working together, after a brief familiarization, the trio's cooperation was already extremely close and flawless.
The hall was buzzing with activity.
The situation was extremely bad for Lu Ye and company. In the present situation, Pu Ke's combat style could only restrain the enemy from a distance. Forcing close combat would only increase the risk. Spectre was unable to get close at all, and although Lu Ye occasionally had a chance to approach, he was blocked most of the time.
They had to think of a solution.
In such a high-intensity battle, they had to end it quickly. Otherwise, if they dragged it out for too long, they would definitely make mistakes.
Furthermore, the enemy's tattered armor was too much of a hindrance. Whenever Lu Ye had a rare chance to get close, his attacks would be blocked by the tattered armor.
If the Skeleton General was a true Yue Yao at his peak, then this armor would definitely be a treasure at the level of Yue Yao.
If it was in perfect condition, Lu Ye would not have any thoughts about it, but now that it was in tatters, there was a possibility of breaking it.
With a thought, waves rose and tides rose!
Pu Ke and Spectre were both astonished. They quickly glanced over at Lu Ye and saw a sea of red. In the blink of an eye, the red color spread out and filled the entire hall.
The Blood Race's Blood River Art was only a river of blood under normal circumstances, but in Lu Ye's hands, it had turned into a sea of blood.
This was both due to his surging blood energy and his powerful holiness. The holiness of the Blood Race was a very wondrous thing. The stronger the holiness, the greater the enhancement to the Blood Race's secret arts.
Pu Ke and Spectre had no idea Fa Wuzun had such an ability, but they did not think too much about it. They only thought it was an ordinary blood art, but the scale of this art was larger than what they knew.
The sea of blood surged violently, obstructing their vision. Even their divine senses were greatly affected. However, they were connected to Lu Ye's aura, so the hindrance of the sea of blood was no problem for them. Even though they were also enveloped by the sea of blood, they could still see and hear clearly without being affected.
Then, the two of them saw an extremely shocking scene. Lu Ye, who was dozens of feet away from the enemy, had appeared beside the Skeleton General like a ghost. He stabbed his long saber straight at the Skeleton General's right eye.
This attack was so sudden that even the Skeleton General was not prepared for it.
However, his reaction was extremely fast. Just as the Mountain Saber was about to pierce the flickering ghost fire in his right eye, he suddenly tilted his head.
An ear-piercing screech rang out as the long saber brushed past the Skeleton General's horned helmet. Sparks flew everywhere.
The Skeleton General's giant sword was already sweeping over. Pu Ke and Spectre's hearts immediately rose to their throats because they realized that Fa Wuzun had no intention of dodging.
But just as the giant sword was about to reach him, Fa Wuzun's figure disappeared like a ghost. He appeared behind the Skeleton General and slashed down heavily with his saber.
The saber slashed at the Skeleton General's back, and the massive impact caused the Skeleton General to stagger.
Spectre nearly cried out in joy.
Since the beginning of the battle, this was the first time the three of them had attacked the Skeleton General without being blocked by him!
Fa Wuzun was indeed Fa Wuzun!
However, Spectre quickly reminded herself that if she were to fight Fa Wuzun in the future, she absolutely could not be enveloped by his blood arts.
From her observation, Fa Wuzun did not seem to have any restrictions on his movements in the sea of blood. He could appear wherever he wanted. His miraculous means were beyond her imagination.
If she were to fall into such a sea of blood as an enemy, she might not even know how she died.
Using the terrain created by the sea of blood, Lu Ye's figure drifted back and forth. Every time he appeared behind the Skeleton General, he slashed again and again, causing the already tattered armor to become even more tattered.
He had also attempted to attack the enemy's weakness, but the enemy's eye was ultimately not that easy to stab. After failing a few times, Lu Ye decided not to waste his efforts.
Thirty seconds later, Lu Ye appeared behind the Skeleton General once again. Just as he was about to raise his saber and slash down, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. Without a second thought, he immediately vanished from his spot. When he appeared again, he was hundreds of feet away. Not only that, when he retreated, he sent a voice transmission to Pu Ke and Spectre, telling them to quickly retreat!
