Within the grey mist, Ma Shangsi had already clashed with his enemies. He was under immense pressure, so he didn't have the time to investigate the situation elsewhere.
The main reason he was under so much pressure was that he had to deal with two enemies, and both of them were late-stage Yue Yao beings.
This couldn't be helped. They had fewer Yue Yao beings on their side than their enemies. As one of the two most powerful Yue Yao beings on their side, he naturally had to contribute more. This was Chou Wu's arrangement.
Although there was pressure, it wasn't a big problem. Ma Shangsi had unleashed his sea of blood from the get-go, enveloping his two enemies within.
Blood Tribe cultivators often used their seas of blood to create an advantageous environment for themselves. This was the most commonly used method. Not only were the two late-stage Yue Yao beings enveloped by his sea of blood, but many of the Star Mansions and Divine Seas in the surrounding area were also enveloped.
If this were any other place, Ma Shangsi was confident that he would be able to exterminate all of his enemies within his sea of blood.
However, the environment here wasn't normal.
Within the sea of blood's range, the rich power of turbidity was corroding even the sea of blood …
Ma Shang Si immediately felt that something was amiss. He secretly estimated that he could at most hold on for the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Once the time limit was exceeded, he might not even be able to keep his Blood Sea. When that time came, his vitality would be greatly damaged.
Hence, he couldn't wait to kill one of the late-stage Yue Yao beings.
However, even though he was already at the peak of the Yue Yao realm, he was still a late-stage Yue Yao being. How could it be so easy to quickly kill an enemy of the same cultivation level?
Just as he was contemplating what to do, he suddenly sensed that someone had barged into his sea of blood.
Ma Shangsi instinctively sensed this, and he hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Holy Venerable One?"
It was Lu Ye, who had immediately rushed in after dealing with his opponent.
Lu Ye knew his side's arrangements, so he naturally understood the pressure Ma Shangsi was under. Hence, he immediately came to provide assistance.
"You lead the way, I'll kill the enemies!" Lu Ye instructed.
Ma Shangsi hurriedly complied. He activated the might of his sea of blood and split into two late-stage Yue Yao beings while guiding Lu Ye.
Two breaths later, Lu Ye had already arrived at a certain location within the sea of blood. He could clearly sense the aura of a late-stage Yue Yao being in front of him. He could even make out the rough outline of the other party.
It looked like a human, but it was unclear what race it originally belonged to. However, judging from its violent aura, it was most likely another Filth that had been transformed and had lost its own rationality!
Staring at the blurry silhouette, Lu Ye rushed forward and pressed his hand on the hilt of the Mountain Pan Saber.
As if sensing Lu Ye's hidden killing intent, the figure suddenly turned around. His magic power surged violently as he pounced towards Lu Ye.
The Pan Mountain Saber was unsheathed at this moment.
A faint radiance blossomed, and soon after, the wheel spun like a moon.
Slashing through the waves, a huge gap was slashed open in the sea of blood that was so thick that it was almost solid. The saber light swept into the depths and slashed out for a distance of ten miles before the violent might slowly dissipated.
Ma Shangsi, who had been paying close attention to the situation on Lu Ye's side and was ready to help at any time, opened his mouth wide as if he had seen something inconceivable.
It wasn't until Yue Yao's late-stage aura suddenly vanished that Ma Shangsi snapped back to reality.
Even he found it difficult to deal with an enemy who was at the late stage of Moon Jade Realm. However, the Holy Venerate had killed him with a single slash!
Was the Holy Venerate … this strong?
Because Lu Ye had unleashed his power in Ma Shangsi's sea of blood, Ma Shangsi had clearly sensed the terror of that slash. It was not a slash that an early-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator could produce. If he had been in Lu Ye's shoes, even if he did not die, he would not have had a good ending.
Ma Shangsi was at a loss.
"Let's kill him together!" Lu Ye's voice rang out in his ears. Only then did Ma Shangsi snap out of his daze and rush toward the other late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator with Lu Ye.
At the same time, Lu Ye's saber-wielding right arm trembled slightly, as if he had lost all his strength.
This was a feeling that he had not felt in a long time.
Ever since he had passed Wang Xiu's test on the way back to the Nine States and obtained the Saber Draw inheritance, he had been maintaining the spirit pattern on the Mountain Pan Mountain Saber.
The nourishment of the Saber Draw spirit pattern had long reached its limit.
Even when he had been forging the scabbard with Han Dong, Lu Ye had not given up on maintaining the spirit pattern. This was because it was his strongest trump card at the moment, and he could use it at any time.
And now, it really did come in handy.
This was the first time Lu Ye had used the Saber Draw, and the power of this thing was greater than he had expected. It could be said that this kind of attack was not something he should have been able to execute with his current cultivation.
This caused his body to bear a huge burden, and he could not even control the attack perfectly.
When dealing with the early-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator, Lu Ye did not even bring out the Mountain Pan Mountain Saber. He was determined to leave the first strike to the late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator.
The plan was proceeding smoothly. The early-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator was blasted to death by his spell technique, and the late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator was killed by his saber. It did not even have a chance to react.
There was only one late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator left in the sea of blood. Even if Lu Ye did not interfere, Ma Shangsi still had the ability to deal with it.
However, the environment of this battlefield was unfavorable to the cultivators on their side, so they had to end the battle quickly.
The late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator was already a little dizzy from being trapped in the sea of blood. It did not know what was going on. When Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi joined forces to surround it, it immediately fell into a sorry state.
Ma Shangsi also knew that he could not delay, so he did not hold back at all.
He was a peak-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator. It could be said that he was a combination of magic and body cultivator. Under his frenzied attacks, the enemy in the sea of blood could only defend, unable to retaliate at all.
Lu Ye swam around from the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike with his saber. Before the enemy could retaliate, he had already fled far away. When the enemy's attention was focused on Ma Shangsi again, he ran over and slashed with his saber.
In less than ten breaths of time, the late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator had been slashed several times. Each wound was so deep that bone could be seen.
The Mountain Pan Mountain Saber had been upgraded to a Dharma treasure after Lu Ye's cultivation base had been substituted, and its sharpness had risen to a whole new level. Now that it was supplemented by Lu Ye's Divine Edge Spirit Marks, it could be said that under the premise of being at the same cultivation base, there was basically no physical body that could block the Mountain Pan Mountain Saber's attacks.
The only exception was a defensive Dharma treasure.
However, after being upgraded to a Dharma treasure, the Mountain Pan Mountain Saber had gained an additional characteristic — its destructive power against defensive Dharma treasures was especially strong. Therefore, even if the enemy really did bring out a defensive Dharma treasure, it would not be able to change the situation. At most, it would only be able to buy some time.
The late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator's physique was very strong. Under normal circumstances, even if she was injured by Lu Ye, she would be able to quickly recover. However, the strange power of the Dharma treasure entwined around the wounds, preventing them from healing. Thus, even though the enemy was intentionally controlling the large wounds so that not too much blood flowed out, they were unable to heal.
"Ma Shangsi, Blood Tracing Art!" Lu Ye growled. With a wave of his saber, a strange power spread out in all directions.
The invisible Dharma power entwining around the enemy's wounds was immediately affected. In an instant, the already large wounds were torn open and widened.
At the same time, Ma Shangsi also activated the Blood Tracing Art.
The Blood Tracing Art was a low-level spell technique of the Blood Race. Under normal circumstances, a True Lake Realm cultivator would be qualified to cultivate it.
The Blood Tracing Art's function was very simple — to draw the blood from the enemy's wounds and hasten the loss of blood.
Therefore, it was best not to get injured when fighting against a Blood Race cultivator. Even if you were injured, you had to recover as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if the wounds were exposed, the Blood Tracing Art would be used by the Blood Tracing Art.
This was especially true in a unique environment like the Blood Sea. When Ma Shangsi, a peak Moon Jade, activated the Blood Tracing Art, its power would be infinitely amplified.
The moment the large wounds on the enemy's body were torn open, Ma Shangsi activated the Blood Tracing Art.
In an instant, the few wounds that were originally not bleeding much suddenly gushed out like pillars of blood!
In this area, the sea of blood, which was already thick to begin with, became even thicker.
Ma Shangsi activated the Blood Tracing Art madly. She couldn't help but lick the corners of her mouth, as if she had just tasted something delicious …
The blood essence of a late-stage Moon Jade was indeed food for a Blood Race cultivator like Ma Shangsi. After the blood gushed out, it merged into the Blood Sea. Ma Shangsi could find an opportunity to refine it later and use it to strengthen her own Blood Sea.
The late-stage Moon Jade roared at the sky as if she had sensed that her death was imminent. With a thought, she locked onto Lu Ye's position and charged toward him.
As she moved, her body rapidly shriveled up. This was a sign that she had lost too much blood essence. The loss of blood essence wasn't the only thing that affected her; it also affected the foundation of a cultivator. Thus, the late-stage Moon Jade's aura was weakening at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Lu Ye didn't dodge at all. He raised his saber and charged forward. Before the enemy could even react, he had already arrived behind her with Ma Shangsi's help.
When he slashed out with his saber, the faint sound of bestial roars could be heard. She bared her fangs and lunged forward.
In the next instant, another late-stage Moon Jade's aura died!
At this moment, the Moon Jades of Jade Conch Mountain were filled with shock.
The destruction of a late-stage Moon Jade's aura was too loud. Even with the concealment of Ma Shangsi's Blood Sea, it couldn't hide it. Chou Wu and the others had already sensed it when Lu Ye killed the first late-stage Moon Jade.
Aside from their joy, they were also shocked. This was because the speed of this battle was too fast. They all knew that Ma Shangsi and the Moon Jade were at the peak of their cultivation bases, but even so, they shouldn't have been able to defeat two late-stage Moon Jade so quickly.
The fact that Lu Ye had been able to defeat a late-stage Moon Jade so quickly was already shocking enough. However, compared to Ma Shangsi's battle record, this was nothing.
That's right, the Moon Jades of Jade Conch Mountain all thought that this was Ma Shangsi's doing … This was a normal reaction.
Chou Wu was excited. Lu Ye and her master had given him two huge surprises when they started fighting. He suddenly felt that this battle wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.
