Yue Yao had actually lost an arm to a constellation. Even if he had been careless, this should not have happened. This was a great humiliation, and he would be mocked by the other Yue Yao for the rest of his life.
With such humiliation, how could he vent his anger if he did not kill Lu Ye?
But before he could reach Lu Ye, he was met with a pair of cold eyes.
The source of this gaze was not Lu Ye, but Yaya, who he had been holding in his arms all this time.
Yaya was very obedient. Lu Ye had told her not to be rash, so she had been quiet until now, until Lu Ye was injured by Yue Yao.
Yaya was clearly a little angry. At this moment, there was a strange glow in her eyes. She stared at the furious insectoid Yue Yao as if she was looking at a dead person.
Under her gaze, Yue Yao felt her heart beating like a drum. The more she rushed forward, the stronger the sense of danger in her heart, as if there was some inexplicable danger waiting for her.
Under Lu Ye's watchful gaze, Yue Yao of the Insect Race began to slow down. Finally, she came to a stop a few dozen kilometers away.
He stared at Yaya, who was in Lu Ye's arms, and his expression changed inexplicably. He hesitated for a while, but in the end, he did not dare to take the risk. Without saying a word, he turned around and left!
He did not think that Yaya was an ordinary child. How could she be ordinary if she could survive in the starry sky? However, he had not sensed any trace of cultivation from Yaya from beginning to end. This made him somewhat unable to see through her. It was precisely because he could not see through her that he did not dare to take the risk.
This time, the Insect Race had kicked an iron plate. He did not know where these humans had come from, but they had killed so many of the Insect Race's constellations. Even he himself had not been able to regain his dignity.
Yue Yao of the Insect Race left, not forgetting to take her severed arm with her. The Insect Race constellations watching from afar naturally did not dare to stay any longer and scattered like birds.
Lu Ye coughed softly and suppressed the roiling blood in his chest. He realized that there was still a considerable gap between him and Yue Yao.
Even though he was now possessed by Li Shang and had the advantage of the new Mountain Saber, he still found it difficult to deal with Yue Yao of the Insect Race. The reason for this was the difference in the quality of the power in his body.
If both of them had spiritual energy in their bodies, Lu Ye felt that he would be able to kill Yue Yao even if her cultivation was higher. However, before the spiritual energy in his body was converted into transcendence energy, it would be too difficult to kill Yue Yao.
"Daddy, I scared him away!" Yaya suddenly opened her mouth with a proud expression.
"Yaya, you're awesome!" Lu Ye praised as he turned around to look at the place where his Star Boat had crashed.
The Star Boat was still tied up by the spider web and hovering between a few meteorites. However, the Star Beast spider that had occupied the largest meteorite was nowhere to be seen. Lu Ye had been busy fighting the insects just now, so he didn't notice when the Star Beast spider had disappeared.
Li Shang dispelled the soul attachment and flew out of Lu Ye's body, saying, "Wait here. I'll go get the Star Boat."
Lu Ye nodded and sat down. Then, he took out some healing and recovery pills from his storage ring and swallowed them.
It consumed a lot of energy. Although the Leaping Technique was good, it put a huge burden on the body. This burden didn't just come from the consumption of the body's spiritual energy, but also from the pressure on the body.
It could be said that if the body wasn't strong enough, it would be impossible to obtain the essence of the Leaping Technique.
The battle just now hadn't lasted too long, but Lu Ye's Spirit Qi had already been consumed by more than half, and even his flesh was showing signs of being torn apart. However, this kind of damage was nothing to him, and he could easily recover after some rest.
Even the punch from Yue Yao from the Insect Clan that landed on his back was only a light injury.
Yue Yao, on the other hand, had lost an arm to him …
Normally speaking, it wouldn't be a big deal for Yue Yao to lose an arm. Just like Kang Cheng, who had lost an arm but still managed to regrow it after paying a certain price.
However, it was Fang's new Mountain Blade that had severed his arm. Lu Ye knew about Fang's strange power. If Yue Yao wanted to regrow her severed arm, it might be a little troublesome, unless he had the ability to dispel Fang's power.
Overall, although he didn't manage to kill Yue Yao in this battle, he didn't suffer any losses.
Li Shang quickly pulled the Planetary Ship out of the spiderweb and steered it to Lu Ye. He then cleaned up the battlefield and collected the storage rings of the dead Insectoid constellations. Only then did the group set off again.
Lu Ye originally thought that the Insectoids wouldn't give up so easily. If Yue Yao couldn't take them down in the early stages, there would definitely be stronger Insectoids waiting for them ahead.
However, to his surprise, the rest of the journey was peaceful. No more Insectoids came looking for trouble. Even if they occasionally encountered some Insectoids, they would avoid them and pretend they didn't see them.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Ye more or less understood. Now that the Insectoids wanted to encroach on Indefinite Star System, they wouldn't have the leisure to target a passerby. Moreover, the further he went, the further away he would be from Indefinite. The Insectoids wouldn't chase after him all the way.
This was something Lu Ye was happy to see. Although he hated the Insectoids, he didn't want to get entangled with them at a time like this.
Without being disturbed, his injuries healed very quickly. Almost immediately after his injuries were healed, he immersed himself in his thoughts and entered the green palace inside the Puppet.
A short while later, two figures flashed back and forth in the hall. Both of them were as fast as lightning. Lu Ye and Yan Xi had been searching for an opportunity to attack. Unfortunately, neither of them could find it and they could only continue to flick about like this.
This stalemate didn't make Lu Ye feel bored. Instead, he was rather excited. In the past, when he fought against Yan Xi, he basically couldn't last for long before he found an opportunity to kill him. Now that he was able to maintain a stalemate with Yan Xi, it undoubtedly meant that his technique had improved significantly.
This was all thanks to his previous bloody battle with the Insectoids.
However, while he was excited, Lu Ye was also somewhat troubled. If this stalemate continued, neither of them would be able to do anything to the other. In that case, how could he pass Yan Xi's test? They couldn't compete to see who could last longer, could they?
Just as he was thinking about this, Yan Xi's figure suddenly froze. Lu Ye also hurriedly stopped and looked over. He saw Yan Xi nodding slightly at him, then his figure suddenly dissipated.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on.
It seemed that things weren't as complicated as he thought. In the technique, as long as one could maintain a stalemate with Yan Xi for a certain amount of time, they would undoubtedly pass his test.
Just like when Qing Li's figure disappeared and Yan Xi appeared, now that Yan Xi's figure had dissipated, another figure appeared out of thin air.
Lu Ye looked forward with some anticipation. The inheritance left behind by the two ancestors in Skeleton had benefited him greatly, so Lu Ye wanted to know which race the next ancestor would be from and what inheritance he had left behind.
The figure slowly condensed and gradually solidified, but Lu Ye's expression slowly became strange.
This was because he realized that the third ancestor actually looked like an Insectoid!
Taking a closer look, it wasn't just similar, it was actually an Insectoid.
Skeleton had actually been obtained by an Insectoid before, this made Lu Ye a little surprised. However, on second thought, Skeleton had existed in this world for countless years. In these tens of thousands of years, who knew how many experts had obtained it, so it wasn't strange that there was an Insectoid.
This Insectoid had the appearance of a human, but his two arms weren't normal arms, but two long swords. This design was very familiar to Lu Ye. Back in the Nine States, he had seen this design before.
Among the Insectoid, there was a branch that looked like a praying mantis, and the two swords were like that. This was also the weapon that the praying mantis used to kill their enemies, unparalleled in sharpness.
After the Insectoid appeared, he glanced at Lu Ye, and just like when Qing Li and Yan Xi first appeared, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Insectoid, Qing Mantis!"
This time, he only reported his race and name, but didn't say where he came from.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Mantis turned around, and a mantis sword came slashing down. Lu Ye quickly raised his sword to block, and with a clang, Lu Ye's body sank down slightly.
The fight with Qing Li and Yan Xi made Lu Ye understand that no matter how great these ancestors' achievements were, or how high they stood, in this green hall inside the Fang Blade, the spirit power that they could use was almost the same as his.
This was because the source of that spirit power was the spirit power that he channeled into the blade.
However, it was only the spirit power that was almost the same. Their strength, speed, and reflexes were all at the standard that they had when they were in the later stages of the Constellation Realm.
Just by looking at the strength of Qing Mantis' sword, Lu Ye knew that his strength wasn't inferior to his own, and his speed seemed to be even faster!
Under normal circumstances, Lu Ye would definitely counterattack after blocking this attack, but he quickly realized that he didn't even have the chance to do so.
Under the pressure of the mantis sword, Qing Mantis turned around. Before Lu Ye could recover from the pressure of the first strike, Qing Mantis' second strike was already coming down, and its speed seemed to be slightly faster than the first strike.
Lu Ye's body shook again, and he was surprised because this strike wasn't just faster, it seemed to be stronger as well.
Then, his expression turned bitter because he already had a premonition of what was going to happen next.
As expected, Qing Mantis kept on turning, and the two sabers crisscrossed and slashed at Lu Ye. After the first strike, there was a second strike, and there was no pause at all.
In Lu Ye's perception, each of Qing Fu's slashes was stronger than the last.
In just a few dozen strikes, Lu Ye was almost pressed to the ground. He didn't use Yan Xi's leaping technique because this wasn't a life and death battle with the enemy. He wanted to comprehend the inheritance that Qing Mantis had left behind. So, while he was under great pressure, he observed Qing Mantis's movements closely.
The swift strikes left Lu Ye with no chance of counterattacking, and the increasing weight of the saber slowly pushed Lu Ye to his limits.
Until Qing Mantis slashed down again, Lu Ye couldn't resist anymore and was sent flying out of the green hall.
