What made Hikaru even more terrified was that there was an inexplicable power coming from the Blood Sea, causing his blood to flow out of his wounds. Even when he tried to use his magic to block it, he was unable to do so.
The strange power of the Fang, coupled with the Blood Tracing Technique, was a battle tactic that Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi had come up with together a few years ago. It was suitable for powerful enemies like the one before them. If they couldn't kill them in one blow, they could only wear them down slowly.
The power of the Fang was the key. Without the power of the Fang, which could hinder the healing of wounds, the Blood Tracing Technique wouldn't work.
Although Ma Shangsi wasn't here, the Xiang sisters could still easily use the Blood Tracing Technique.
Hikaru's intense and sullen battle thus began. This was definitely the greatest torture he had ever encountered in his life. He clearly had the ability to kill the enemy in one blow, but he couldn't grasp the enemy's whereabouts.
As time passed, Hikaru's body was in tatters. Lu Ye had inflicted countless wounds on him.
It had to be said that Hikaru's physique was really strong, especially when his opponent was an insect. With Lu Ye's promotion to Yue Yao, the Mountain Blade that had also been upgraded to a magic weapon was sharp enough. Lu Ye had also enhanced it with the Divine Edge Spirit Mark. Even so, every slash of the blade couldn't cause any substantial damage to the enemy. At most, it would leave behind some superficial wounds.
It was precisely these wounds that were neither painful nor itchy to Rizhao, but now they had become the heavy burden that crushed the enemy!
After a full day of fighting, Hikaru's face had become extremely pale. His aura had also weakened greatly. He looked like an arrow at the end of its flight.
He wasn't the only one like this. Other than Lu Ye, the other Yue Yao were also like this.
First, this kind of battle consumed too much energy. These few Yue Yao had been tense all the time. Their magic power had been fully activated. To be able to hold on for so long was already a reflection of their strength.
Second, each of them had endured more than one soul attack from Hikaru. That kind of attack was hard to resist, and it was also the thing that puzzled them the most.
Under the repeated attacks, the four Yue Yao were a little dizzy and uneasy. Even their movements were much slower.
Under Lu Ye's orders, the four of them had already retreated from the Blood Sea Battlefield in advance to avoid being killed by the enemy.
At this moment, Lu Ye was the only one left in the sea of blood, fighting the enemy alone.
Victory was about to be decided!
Lu Ye made another tentative attack. After leaving a new wound on Hikari's body, Lu Ye's expression turned solemn. He reached out his hand and grabbed the air. A slender bone blade appeared in his left hand.
The bone dagger came from an insectoid he had killed in the past. That guy should be a descendant of Green Prickly Beetle. He had used the Great Windmill Secret Technique on Lu Ye, but Lu Ye had perfectly broken it on the spot and killed him without knowing why.
His two bone blades became Lu Ye's spoils of war.
The bone blade was actually a part of the insect's body and had been tempered by the insect for countless years. It was extremely hard and sharp, and was not inferior to the best magical treasures. In terms of quality, it was probably only slightly worse than the current Mountain Plate Blade.
Leaping could only weaken one Zerg Sunshine, but it could not kill him.
He couldn't use Draw Lu Ye. Ever since the battle in the Black Abyss, he had been refining the Origin Source and hadn't nurtured the Draw Spirit Rune.
At this stage, the most violent secret technique he could use was the Great Windmill.
He had once used this secret technique to kill Hikari, who was affected by Dancer. History might repeat itself today.
Lu Ye gently exhaled, and the boundless Blood Sea also rushed into his body at this moment. In the blink of an eye, the Blood Sea dissipated.
On the surface of Lu Ye's body, blood and Qi were steaming, and a faint red mist shrouded him. In a very short period of time, his blood and Qi were pushed to the limit, and his magic power hummed in his body.
Suddenly freed, Hikari didn't react, but soon looked weakly at Lu Ye, and his expression couldn't help but tremble.
He also realized that Lu Ye was going to kill him.
But soon, he showed a look of surprise, because he suddenly saw a strange blood-red mark appear between Lu Ye's eyebrows.
"Flower of the Body?" Hikari opened his eyes wide, trying to make sure he didn't see wrong.
As Hikari, his experience was naturally extraordinary. He had heard some secrets about cultivation, and one of them was this Flower of the Body.
Legend has it that cultivators who reach the peak of the Constellation Realm will condense the Flower of the Body.
But he had only heard of this kind of thing and had never seen it before, so he couldn't be sure if it was true or not. In his opinion, there were many outstanding Constellation Realm cultivators in his clan, and those Constellation Realm cultivators had reached the point of no further progress, but none of them had condensed the Flower of the Body.
He always thought this was a rumor, but who would have thought that he would see it with his own eyes one day.
He suddenly understood why the strength of this human in front of him was so strong. It was because he really reached the peak of the Constellation Realm, achieving a feat that countless creatures could only dream of.
A strong sense of crisis arose in his heart, and Hikari smelled the breath of death. In the face of such a crisis, he roared and used all his power to activate his Soul Secret Technique.
This was the killing move he had been preparing for a long time, and he hadn't used it until now, just for this moment to turn the tables.
At the same time, Lu Ye released his Spiritual Energy, and his right eye suddenly turned blood-red. Amidst the blood-red light, countless complex and tiny runes appeared in his eye, making it look both strange and terrifying.
The Blood Eye had appeared!
This was the second time Lu Ye had used the Blood Eye Spirit Rune since he obtained it. The first time was a test, and it allowed him to slightly understand the mysteries of the Blood Eye Spirit Rune.
It was of the same origin as the Blood Eye Spirit Rune he saw in the wonder that day. When this Blood Eye Spirit Rune was activated, it had an obvious illusory effect, mysterious and powerful.
The Hikari in front of him was not the same person who was affected by Dancer's power and had his movements restricted.
He was also not Blazing Heaven, who was besieged by so many Yue Yao and wanted to die.
Even if Lu Ye was using the power of his Inner World to suppress him, even if he looked incomparably weak, Lu Ye didn't dare to be careless when facing such an enemy.
So, he used all his abilities, even pushing his strength to the limit.
The appearance of the Flower of the Body was the most obvious sign, which meant that Lu Ye's Blood Qi had been pushed to the limit.
On the other side, Hikari subconsciously looked into the blood-red eye. In an instant, he was in a trance. It was as if he saw an indomitable giant, high above, looking down at him with one eye.
It was as if he saw a blood-red moon rising into the sky, bathing in the moonlight, and the whole world was dripping with blood.
In the end, he was still Hikari. Even if Lu Ye activated the Blood Eye Spirit Rune, it would only affect him for a moment.
In the next instant, all the illusions in front of Hikari's eyes disappeared, but his expression changed drastically.
This was because the killing move he had carefully prepared had been disturbed in that instant, showing signs of collapsing. This directly led to an extremely bad outcome — his Spirit Sea churned, and the power of his Spirit became chaotic.
It was like a spell cultivator who was about to cast a large-scale spell and was interrupted at a critical moment. The turbulence in his magic power would inevitably cause a backlash. Hikari's current situation was similar.
He opened his mouth and let out a miserable cry, his face contorted in pain. He instinctively raised his hands to cover his head.
When Lu Ye saw this, he didn't hesitate at all. He rushed forward and slashed down with the Mountain Blade!
His body rotated as the Mountain Blade slashed down, and the bone blade rose.
The first few slashes were still traceable, but after a few more slashes, there was only a violent storm of blade light that enveloped a large area.
In the distance, Yang Ling and the others, who had already retreated from the battlefield, were dumbfounded. Even the Xiang sisters were no exception.
Although Lu Ye had already displayed strength that exceeded his cultivation base in the battle with the Red Talisman Association, they really didn't expect that what they saw was not the whole story.
This was probably Lu Ye's true strength!
That terrifying killing intent and violent attack were not things that Yue Yao could withstand. Yang Ling considered himself to be one of the strongest Yue Yao. He secretly imagined that if he were to face such an attack, he wouldn't be able to last more than two breaths …
The blade light slowly receded. Lu Ye stood on the spot, holding the blade with both hands. His blood and Qi were boiling to the extreme, and the blood mist on his body was rising.
With him as the center, within a radius of a hundred miles, there were numerous crisscrossing ravines that were extremely shocking.
Hikari the Insect was nowhere to be seen. Only pieces of his corpse remained on the ground, evidence that he had once been alive.
Although they had expected this, Yang Ling and the others still felt like they were in a dream when they saw this scene.
Yue Yao had killed Hikari … This was such a ridiculous thing, and it was happening right under their noses.
Yang Ling felt that he would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.
Cracking sounds continued to ring out. Lu Ye staggered slightly. He didn't know how much of his flesh had been broken in an instant.
He put away the Pan Mountain Saber and Bone Saber, sat down cross-legged, took out a Spirit Pill, and swallowed it. He silently recovered, his expression emotionless.
Hikari the Insect was not the first to die at his hands. Moreover, Hikari the Insect was unable to unleash his full strength in this battle, so there was nothing to be happy about.
If there was a day when he could kill Hikari with his own strength, then it would be worth celebrating.
That day would come eventually, and it wouldn't be too late.
A few days later, Lu Ye recovered. After exhorting Yang Ling and the others who were still healing, he leaped out of the Inner World.
Then, he took out his Star Boat and rushed back the way he came.
He wanted to see the situation on the other side of the battlefield. Although he had taken away Hikari and destroyed the Insect's nest, which should greatly relieve the pressure on the human cultivators in that realm, there were still some things that he had to see with his own eyes.
Before Lu Ye could reach the original battlefield, a group of cultivators flew over. They were in a hurry, and their Divine Consciousness spread out as if they were searching for something.
