Seven days later, in the Mermaid Territory, in front of the Tian Luo Palace.
The void shook, and a door appeared. Lu Ye stepped out.
However, just as he stood still, he frowned. The Pan Shan Saber at his waist popped out, and the saber flashed as it slashed forward.
A blurry figure that was almost invisible faced the saber light. Just as it was about to be cut, the figure suddenly twisted and narrowly avoided the saber.
Ghost's eyes were full of excitement. She stared at the door behind Lu Ye without blinking, as if she had smelled the scent of freedom!
She was a smart woman. Naturally, she knew that if she wanted to get out of here, she couldn't count on Fa Wuzun's mercy. She had to find a way.
But this damned place was surrounded on all sides by water similar to the Wanxiang Sea. She couldn't escape at all. After thinking about it, the only way to leave here was to use Fa Wuzun's unknown method to make the door.
So, she deliberately hid her figure and breath and waited here. Sure enough, such an opportunity came!
At this moment, she suddenly attacked. Even Lu Ye almost couldn't react in time. After avoiding the saber, she was only one step away from the door. As long as she took this step, she would be able to open the sea and sky!
However, this step was like a moat!
Ghost's figure suddenly flew out as if she had been hit by a heavy blow. As she rolled, her concealment failed and her figure was revealed.
The two mermaids who stayed here were shocked and quickly put on a vigilant look.
On the other side, Ghost, who had been repelled, turned over nimbly. With one hand on the ground, she half crouched on the ground like a cheetah ready to pounce. She looked at Lu Ye fiercely. "Fa Wuzun, I don't want to fight with you. Get out of my way!"
Lu Ye stood in front of the door like a door god and looked at her indifferently. "It seems that you have recovered well!"
When he left seven days ago, this guy was half dead. Now that he came back, he didn't see any major problems.
"Are you going to move or not!" Ghost gritted her teeth and shouted.
Lu Ye didn't speak. He held the saber in one hand and raised his other hand, beckoning her with his finger!
Ghost said angrily, "You asked for it!"
As his words fell, the afterimage of his body was clearly still in the same place, but his body had already swept to Lu Ye's side. His leg was like a whip, heavily swinging down.
Lu Ye didn't seem to be able to react. Ghost's lips curled into a cold smile. Everyone thought that ghost cultivators only knew how to kill, but she didn't walk the normal path. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to obtain such a high ranking in the Constellation Palace Contest.
In terms of close combat ability, she was not inferior to any weapon cultivator. It was just that she rarely revealed this side of her. However, at this moment, in order to escape, she could no longer care about it.
Freedom was right in front of her. As long as she could defeat Fa Wuzun, she would be able to leave this damned place.
She had never thought of defeating Lu Ye, because it was unrealistic. Fa Wuzun's strength was already impressive when he was in the middle stage of the Constellation Realm. Now that he was in the late stage of the Constellation Realm, Spectre admitted that she was no match for him.
However, it shouldn't be too much of a problem if it was just to push him back. In order to achieve her goal, she had unleashed all of her strength.
She knew that this battle couldn't be delayed. There were many Yue Yao on the merfolk's side. Once those Yue Yao arrived, she would never be able to escape.
This whip kick was powerful and heavy. Although it didn't carry too much power, all of its explosive power was contained within. Even if there was a mountain in front of her, Spectre was confident that she could shatter it.
However, in the next moment, Spectre's brows suddenly furrowed. This was because Lu Ye, who didn't seem to be able to react, suddenly looked in the direction of her true body. Then, he raised a hand.
With a 'pa' sound, the whip kick was blocked by one of his big hands!
After her attack failed, Spectre's afterimage remained in place while her true body moved to the other side and punched out.
Her attack was blocked once again. Lu Ye's hand inexplicably blocked the path of her attack, easily blocking it. At the same time, his gaze shifted to her.
Spectre was shocked. She knew that Fa Wuzun was very strong, but she hadn't expected him to react so quickly!
She gritted her teeth, and a red light suddenly erupted from her body. Clearly, she had activated some kind of explosive secret technique, causing her speed and strength to increase again.
* Pa pa pa … *
Dense sounds continuously rang out. Every time they rang out, spiritual power colliding and exploding. The two merfolk on guard duty were dumbfounded.
This was because in their field of vision, it seemed as if countless phantoms had appeared and disappeared, circling around Lu Ye and attacking him relentlessly.
They knew that they wouldn't be able to withstand such an onslaught for even an instant.
However, such a violent and concentrated attack couldn't even make their clan's esteemed guest move a single step. He stood there calmly, his hand constantly blocking back and forth, perfectly blocking each attack.
This scene was rather comical, as if a child who hadn't been satisfied was throwing a tantrum at an adult.
In just ten breaths, Spectre had changed her position countless times and launched countless attacks, but none of them were effective. She felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't understand how Fa Wuzun could be so unreasonably strong as they were both at the late stage of the Constellation Realm.
For her to be able to rank near two hundred in the Constellation Palace Competition, her strength was naturally quite impressive. One had to know that the Constellation Palace Competition was a competition between hundreds and thousands of galaxies, tens or even millions of constellations. Rank two hundred wasn't very high, but it was definitely one of the best.
However, at this moment, she couldn't move Fa Wuzun at all!
Of course, this was because she hadn't used her full strength, but when had Fa Wuzun used his full strength?
During the confrontation, Spectre suddenly retreated, her aura becoming mysterious and unpredictable. Her eyes became serious, "Fa Wuzun, be careful. I don't want to kill you. If you can't handle it, then hurry up and get out of my way!"
Saying so, her figure suddenly split into two, two into four, four into eight …
Lu Ye observed with rapt attention and raised an eyebrow, because he found that he couldn't see through the eight phantoms. These eight phantoms all looked real, but he didn't know what kind of mysterious Secret Technique they were using.
But from what Spectre had said just now, it was obvious she was going to put her life on the line.
The eight phantoms moved in unison, turning into eight streams of light, fanning out towards Lu Ye as fast as lightning.
Lu Ye suddenly felt his heart palpitate, how could he not know that this Secret Technique used by Spectre was incredibly powerful?
The hand holding the Mountain Pan Saber finally moved. With a push of the saber, a continuous stream of saber light began to burst forth. In an instant, the dense saber light was like the waves of the sea, wave after wave, endless and endless!
The eight phantoms arrived, their figures crisscrossing, turning Lu Ye's position into a land of death.
In an instant, even Lu Ye felt a great pressure. Spectre's Secret Technique was extremely lethal and difficult to guard against. If he hadn't comprehended the Saber Technique in the Dagger Inheritance, it would have been difficult for him to resist with his previous Tyrant Saber Art.
Relatively speaking, the Tyrant Saber Art was more inclined towards offense, while the Dagger Inheritance's Saber Art was both offensive and defensive.
At this moment, the wave-like saber's light was constantly being shattered, but after it was shattered, new saber's light would appear.
After three breaths, Lu Ye put away his saber.
Spectre's true body appeared not far away, gasping for breath, her face slightly pale. It was obvious that the Secret Technique just now had taken a great toll on her.
She looked in despair at Lu Ye, who was guarding the door like a door-god, and her eyes became aggrieved. Then, she sat down on the ground and wailed like a shrew. Wiping her tears, she shouted, "You bully me!"
When Bai Lu and the other Merfolk Elders, who had sensed the commotion, arrived, they were just in time to see this scene that left them speechless.
Pairs of eyes turned to look at Lu Ye. No one knew what he had done to make Spectre cry so sadly. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Lu Ye, full of accusation.
Lu Ye frowned. He had never seen someone cry when they couldn't win, but Spectre had always been shameless. Others might not be able to do such a thing, but Spectre could.
Spectre's crying was irritating, so Lu Ye pointed at her and said lightly, "If you cry again, you'll never be able to leave here!"
The wailing Spectre immediately stopped crying and covered her mouth with her hand, but her shoulders shook as she continued to sob. It seemed that she was really sad.
Lu Ye glared at her, then turned to speak a few words with Yan Miao and the other elders, telling them what had just happened. After learning that it wasn't another invasion, Yan Miao and the others quickly dispersed, leaving only Bai Lu behind.
After a while, the door slowly disappeared.
Only then did Lu Ye leave. Even just now, he did not let his guard down. Who knew if Spectre would suddenly jump up and force her way through the door? She was capable of doing such a thing.
"She hasn't caused you any trouble recently, has she?" Lu Ye asked Bai Lu.
Bai Lu smiled. "You're right, she's a smart person, so although we didn't restrict her, she hasn't hurt any of our people."
Lu Ye nodded. "We still have to be careful, we can't let her come into contact with Bai Shuang."
"I know, there's always someone secretly guarding Bai Shuang."
"What are you talking about? Why don't you let me hear it?" Spectre sensed that the two of them were communicating through divine sense and immediately had an opinion. Her eyes were still red and swollen, but at this moment, she looked like she was bursting with curiosity, which was extremely comical.
"It's none of your business!" Lu Ye said in annoyance.
Spectre came up and asked expectantly, "Fa Wuzun, when are we leaving here?"
Lu Ye glanced at her. "Did I say you could leave?"
Spectre said, "You just said that if I don't cry, I can leave!"
"I said that if you cry again, you'll never be able to leave!"
"Don't you mean the same thing?" Spectre said matter-of-factly.
Lu Ye was too lazy to pay attention to her unreasonable pestering, and changed the topic: "The matter of you causing trouble to others, we have to properly calculate!"
"How do you want to settle it …" Spectre looked pitiful. "I don't have money anyway!"
Those who knew her well knew that she was poor.
