Although Pu Ke and Ghost did not feel it as intensely as Lu Ye, they did not hesitate to retreat to the edge of the hall after receiving his warning.
Just as the two of them stood still, they saw an extremely terrifying scene. They saw a tornado rise from the Skeleton General's side!
Taking a closer look, it wasn't a tornado, it was a sword storm! It looked like a tornado, but in fact, it was formed from countless tiny sword flashes.
What left them even more horrified was that the Sword Tempest was connected to the top of the wall and the bottom of the hall. It was rapidly expanding as the sea of blood that enveloped the Skeleton General's body was sucked into the Sword Tempest, turning it blood-red in color.
Lu Ye knew that things were not looking good. The Blood River Technique was indeed strange and powerful, but it had a very troublesome problem, which was that it consumed a lot of one's spiritual energy. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, even the Blood Kindred would not be able to maintain the Blood River Technique for too long.
Furthermore, if someone were to wreak havoc in it, the consumption of the caster's spiritual energy would be even more severe.
Although the Skeleton General's strength had been reduced by Yue Yao, how could Lu Ye withstand such a move in his rage?
If he did not quickly withdraw his Blood Sea Art and allowed the Skeleton General to break through his Blood Sea Art, he would be greatly injured at the very least.
I knew it wasn't that simple!
With a thought, Lu Ye made up his mind. His figure flashed and appeared in front of Ghost. He reached out his hand and grabbed her before disappearing.
When he reappeared, he was already beside Pu Ke.
"Defend!" With a low shout, he hurriedly withdrew his Blood Sea.
The blood that filled the sky disappeared, but the Skeleton General's sword storm did not stop. It was still rapidly spreading in all directions.
Pu Ke took the large ladle from his waist and threw it over his head. The ladle immediately transformed into a layer of protection that enveloped the three of them.
Ghost did not hesitate either. She took out a Purple Talisman to form a second layer of protection.
For a person like her who valued wealth as much as her life to use a Purple Talisman repeatedly, she clearly realized the severity of the situation.
Lu Ye did not have any useful defensive treasures, so he could only look for one from his spoils of war. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he circulated his spiritual energy and brought it out first.
Generally, in a battle, it was very rare for cultivators to have such an opportunity to set up defensive measures because the enemy would have already killed their way over.
However, the Skeleton General was clearly delirious. He had been infuriated by the various means that Lu Ye had used. He was focused on powering his Sword Storm Wind, giving the three of them such an opportunity.
Lu Ye threw out a series of formation flags, using a certain defensive spirit treasure as the core of the formation to set up a layer of defensive formation.
He wanted to use another technique, but it was already too late.
The sword storm's wind swept through the entire hall, pressing down on the three of them.
Feeling it up close, he could feel the terror of this sword storm even more. What blew over were all those fine and concentrated sword lights.
The first to bear the brunt of the attack was Lu Ye's protective Spirit Array. Although this Spirit Array was hastily set up by him, with a good defensive Spirit Treasure as the Array Core, it could provide a very good protection.
Even then, it only persisted for two breaths of time before collapsing with a bang, and this obviously showed how formidable the lethality of the fine sword lights were.
With a bang, the defensive spiritual treasure that was used as the eye of the formation also turned into powder.
Then, popping sounds could be heard one after another as the defensive spiritual treasures shattered one after another.
In just five breaths of time, all of Lu Ye's arrangements had been broken. Next was Gui Ling's Purple Talisman.
This was probably not a Purple Talisman from the Human Race, but an ordinary one. However, when it was activated by a late-stage Constellation Constellation like Gui Ling, its defensive power was still quite good.
However, it only lasted for a breath of time.
The Purple Talisman's light rapidly dimmed, and then it burned in the air.
The three of them had extremely cold expressions. Now, only Pu Ke's large ladle spirit treasure's protection was left. If it was broken, the three of them could only use their own methods to block the sword storm. Even if Lu Ye could set up a Holy Defense, he would probably not be able to block it. After all, no matter how fast he set it up, it would still take time.
Under the corrosion of the endless fine sword storm, the Holy Defense was not very useful!
As the sword storm approached, the three of them did not even blink. With just a glance, Lu Ye knew that the situation was bad. Pu Ke's large ladle spirit treasure would definitely not be able to block it.
He raised his head and looked forward, but he couldn't see anything. Even when he tried to use his Divine Sense, it was destroyed by the sword light.
However, he knew that in such a situation, he could only give it his all.
Just as the last layer of protection was on the verge of collapse, Pu Ke and Gui Ling were shocked to discover that Lu Ye's spirit energy stirred, and he suddenly disappeared before their eyes.
Immediately after, there was a violent explosion of spirit energy from the Skeleton General's location. There was also the faint sound of a saber vibrating.
The two of them were shocked, knowing that Fa Wuzun had charged over.
However, the two of them could not figure out how Fa Wuzun had charged over. In the Blood Sea, he could move like a ghost. Now that the Blood Sea had been subdued, he should have lost that ability.
The two of them could not figure out how Lu Ye could teleport, so they naturally could not figure out how he had done it.
In fact, when Lu Ye was fighting the Skeleton General, he had left one of his Imperial Artifacts in the cracks of the Skeleton General's armor.
If the enemy was made of flesh and blood, he would have sensed it long ago. However, this fellow was ultimately just a muddle-headed skeleton, giving Lu Ye an opportunity to take advantage of it.
It was with the help of the Imperial Artifact's positioning that Lu Ye could charge over to the Skeleton General's side.
The reason why Lu Ye dared to do so was because he was taking a gamble. Logically speaking, the center of a tornado should be calm. The Skeleton General's sword storm looked like a tornado, so it was very likely that there were no fine sword flashes where he stood.
Staying where he was would only lead to death. Since that was the case, he could only take a gamble.
As it turned out, Lu Ye had made the right bet!
Furthermore, he was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps because he had used all his strength to activate the sword storm, the Skeleton General stood where he was without moving an inch.
Originally, no one would be able to get close to him under such an attack. However, Lu Ye's sudden attack with the help of the Void Spirit Inscriptions had caught him off guard.
After realizing that this fellow was now a sitting duck, Lu Ye immediately rushed in front of him and prepared to end him with a single slash. However, when he looked closely, he nearly vomited blood.
This was because the Skeleton General's left hand had covered his right eye, making it impossible for him to attack.
No matter how muddle-headed he was, he knew that his right eye was his greatest weakness. Therefore, before he activated the sword storm, he had concealed this weakness.
Lu Ye had nowhere to vent his anger. When he saw the short blade stuck in the Skeleton General's left eye, he raised his saber and slapped at it.
When he first saw the short blade, he thought that it was a pretty good Numinous treasure, which was why it was targeted by Spectre. However, after learning that the Skeleton General was actually Yue Yao, his previous conjecture was no longer valid.
This short blade was very likely not a Numinous treasure, but Yue Yao's treasure. It was a Dharma treasure!
If that was the case, its value would be immense.
However, regardless of whether it was a Numinous treasure or a Dharma treasure, since it was stuck in the Skeleton General's left eye, Lu Ye could make use of it.
He wasn't sure if this would be effective, but it was better than using the Mountain Plate Saber to slash at his opponent.
When the Mountain Plate Saber struck the end of the short blade, an unbelievable scene occurred.
Previously, no matter how hard Lu Ye slashed, the Skeleton General didn't think much of it. However, at this moment, it felt as though an electric current had passed through its body. It trembled violently, and immediately after, its body flew high into the air as though it had suffered a heavy blow. It fell straight into the sword storm it had conjured.
An ear-piercing screech came from where the Skeleton General fell. There were also creaking sounds.
As the Skeleton General fell, the sword storm slowly came to a stop and rapidly dissipated.
Lu Ye looked into the distance and heaved a sigh of relief. Although he could sense that Pu Ke and Spectre weren't dead due to their connection, he couldn't sense their exact condition.
At that moment, although the two of them were in a sorry state, they weren't seriously injured.
The instant the sword storm disappeared, the two of them dodged to the left and right and began to assess the situation.
They saw Fa Wuzun standing where the Skeleton General had been, unscathed. As for the Skeleton General, it was unknown what had happened to him. He was lying at the edge of the hall a thousand feet away from Fa Wuzun.
After suffering that blow, the Skeleton General clearly wasn't in a good state. He staggered to his feet, but with a series of clattering sounds, the tattered armor on his body fell to the ground.
Lu Ye's eyes lit up. He had previously wanted to get rid of the tattered armor, but he hadn't been able to do so. He never expected to succeed by chance.
Not only had the Skeleton General lost his tattered armor, even the horned helmet on his head had shattered. At a glance, his bones were covered in fine scars. There were even cracks in many places.
Be it Lu Ye or Pu Ke's Spectre, they could clearly sense that the Skeleton General's aura had weakened significantly. The most obvious sign was that the will-o '-the-wisp in his right eye had dimmed a little.
Lu Ye immediately understood that it was the work of the sword storm!
That move had been the Skeleton General's all-out attack. He had accidentally fallen into the sword storm and had clearly been injured by his own strength.
If Lu Ye had been in his shoes, he wouldn't have had it easy either if he had been enveloped by the lotus sun.
This was interesting. The three of them had fought to the point of despair, but they never expected to see hope for victory by chance.
Lu Ye raised his hand and stuffed a Spirit Pill into his mouth. Following that, his figure flashed as he suddenly appeared behind the Skeleton General.
This was his last chance to teleport. As the tattered armor fell, the imperial artifact he had placed on the Skeleton General's body had also fallen.
Therefore, he could only teleport there.
The moment his figure appeared, Lu Ye rushed to the Skeleton General's side and stabbed his saber at the Skeleton General's right eye.
As expected, the Skeleton General raised his left hand to block it. However, Lu Ye's target wasn't the right eye, but the left!
The saber changed direction, changing from a stab to a slap, once again hitting the end of the short blade.
