Hu Guang's eyes widened as he looked at Lu Ye's original position, only to discover that he had already lost sight of him. He immediately felt uneasy.
At that moment, he heard movement from the fleet's right flank. When he turned to look, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Lu Ye had appeared there at some point, standing atop a tiger-shark warship. He had unsheathed his saber and gripped the hilt with both hands. Magic power surged through his body as he viciously stabbed at the tiger-shark warship.
The Mountain Plate Saber was already incomparably sharp, but after being enhanced with the Divine Edge Spirit Tattoo, it became even sharper. Even the tiger-shark warship couldn't withstand such a stab. The saber cut through the warship like a knife through tofu.
The saber drew back and slashed horizontally. In the blink of an eye, a hole had appeared in one of the tiger-shark warships.
The five Yao cultivators inside the warship didn't even have time to react to what was happening. They only felt their vision brighten, and when they looked up, they met Lu Ye's icy gaze.
With a wave of his saber, Saber Light shot out like a waterfall. Inside the tiger-shark warship, blood splattered everywhere as all life was extinguished.
Lu Ye leapt onto a nearby tiger-shark warship and did the same thing.
Hu Guang was stunned!
Based on their brief interaction, he could tell that the Third Island Master of Three World Island was a daring individual. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to brazenly kill Zi Xuan and Yue Yao with his avatar. Anyone with even the slightest bit of sense wouldn't have done such a thing.
But he never thought that this person's guts would be so big.
Facing Zi Xuan's entire fleet, he actually dared to come alone and cause trouble. This person … … did he really not know how to spell the word 'death'?
What infuriated Hu Guang even more was that he had succeeded.
One tiger-shark warship and five Yao cultivators. Compared to the size of the fleet, the losses were negligible. However, there were some things that couldn't be measured by losses.
Zi Xuan had sent troops to attack Three World Island, but a single Yue Yao had come to cause trouble. How could the Yao cultivators tolerate this?
Moreover, based on Lu Ye's efficiency, if they didn't stop him, their losses would only increase. If they really did cause too much damage, Zi Xuan wouldn't be able to accept it even if they managed to conquer Three World Island.
Zi Xuan had mobilized four thousand troops because she wanted to use her absolute advantage to sweep through Three World Island and avoid losses.
"You're courting death!" Hu Guang roared angrily as he shot towards Lu Ye, at the same time sending out two orders with his Divine Sense.
One order was for Ape Che and Bao Youyou to attack Lu Ye together. The other order was for all the tiger shark warships to activate their defenses.
His reaction was undoubtedly very fast, but even so, in this short period of time, Lu Ye destroyed another three tiger shark battleships. None of the Constellation Yao cultivators in the battleships were spared. All of them were killed.
Hu Guang felt as if his heart was bleeding.
This conflict between Zi Xuan and Three World Island had been planned by Zi Xuan, but from beginning to end, Zi Xuan had only killed Wei Po, who had just ascended to the Moon Jade realm. On the other hand, Three World Island had first killed Junior Brother Hu, then killed Red Elephant and the 200 Lunar Mansions. Now, they had even lost three tiger shark warships.
In comparison, Zi Xuan's losses were far too great, and the instigator of all of this was this fellow called Lu Ye!
"Be careful of that saber of his! It's very sharp!" Hu Guang hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Bao Youyou and Ape Che as he charged towards Lu Ye. This was because he had personally witnessed a tiger shark battleship, which he had ordered to activate its defenses, being sliced apart by Lu Ye without being able to put up any resistance.
The tiger shark battleships were so popular mainly because they were small and light. Several Lunar Mansions could control them, and they could unleash about the same level of strength as a Moon Jade.
In other words, a tiger shark battleship that activated its defenses was equivalent to a Moon Jade activating her protective magic power. Even so, it still couldn't block that saber's attacks and was easily sliced apart.
Yao cultivators' physiques were indeed powerful, but they couldn't afford to be careless in the face of such a sharp attack.
Hu Guang and the other two Moon Jade were quite fast. As they spoke, they had already closed in on Lu Ye. However, Hu Guang was infuriated to see that Lu Ye, who seemed to be charging at them aggressively, had actually fled before they could reach him.
It was obvious that he didn't want to fight them head-on. This was undoubtedly the best choice. He was fighting one against three, and all three of them were late-stage Moon Jade. Retreating first was the safest choice.
Although Hu Guang had expected this to happen, he still felt irritated when Lu Ye made such a choice. Just as he was hesitating about whether or not to pursue, Ape Che shouted, "Don't let him escape! His aura is a little weak!"
Hu Guang immediately sensed Lu Ye's aura carefully and discovered that it was just as Ape Che had said. Although Lu Ye appeared normal, he couldn't conceal his weak aura.
Hu Guang immediately understood that the loss of his two clones must have backfired on Lu Ye's main body.
In the cultivation world, there were many kinds of doppelganger techniques, but basically, once the doppelganger was destroyed, it would also have a great impact on the original body. Lu Ye had lost two doppelgangers to Zi Xuan, so how could he be safe and sound?
He was being secretive because he wanted to cover up the inconvenience of his own body.
Hu Guang no longer hesitated and ordered the fleet to continue forward while continuing to pursue the two Monster Cultivators, closing the distance between them.
This chase lasted for half an incense stick's worth of time, spanning nearly ten thousand kilometres. Seeing that the fleeing figure in front of him was about to enter his attack range, Hu Guang silently urged his strength, causing the phantom of six fox tails behind him to appear and sway wildly, distorting the surrounding space. This undoubtedly meant that he was going to use his full strength in this next attack.
On the other side, Bao Youyou and Ape Che also urged their strength, secretly accumulating strength, preparing to join forces with Hu Guang to deal a fatal blow to Lu Ye.
With three late-stage Moon Jade cultivators joining forces, no one in the Starry Sky could stop them. The three of them were confident that they could severely injure or even kill Lu Ye.
However, just as the three of them were about to attack, Lu Ye's fleeing figure suddenly stopped and turned his head to glance at them indifferently.
In the next moment, a complex spirit pattern suddenly took shape beneath Lu Ye's feet.
Seeing this, Hu Guang's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know what the Spirit Rune represented, he instinctively had a bad feeling about it. Without any hesitation, he launched a fierce attack, turning it into a fiery red attack that shot towards Lu Ye.
At the same time, Bao Youyou and Ape Che attacked simultaneously.
A violent power enveloped the area where Lu Ye stood, making it impossible to see his figure. When the three Monster Cultivators rushed over, their expressions sank.
Lu Ye had disappeared, but they didn't see any trace of a living being's death.
Bao Youyou's face was filled with unease as she muttered, "Is this also a Clone?"
If this was a Clone, then where was Lu Ye's main body? In order to hunt down Lu Ye, the three Moon Jade cultivators had set out together, and there were no masters overseeing the fleet.
Hu Guang shook his head and suddenly turned to look back, his expression changing drastically as he shouted, "Quickly retreat!"
He had already realized the seriousness of the problem. Just now, no matter if it was Lu Ye's original body or avatar, there were no signs of him being killed. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared. Then, thinking of the strange spirit patterns that had suddenly appeared, Hu Guang immediately understood that Lu Ye had mastered a mysterious teleportation technique. Right now, he had no idea where he had teleported to.
He had heard that there was a Dwarf Race talisman shop on the Three Realms Island, so he might have used a teleportation talisman refined by the Dwarf Race.
Hu Guang could only hope that Lu Ye wasn't too close to the fleet so the three of them could still retreat. This was because the Dwarf Race's teleportation talismans generally teleported people randomly and couldn't pinpoint their exact location.
However, in the next moment, his hopes were dashed. The sound talisman suddenly began to vibrate, and not just once, but continuously. This undoubtedly meant that many messages were being sent to him.
Hu Guang felt a chill run down his spine as he took out the sound talisman with trembling hands and probed it with his Divine Sense.
At the same time, Bao Youyou and Ape Che were also probing their own sound talismans. The former cried out in alarm, "Not good, Lu Ye is slaughtering the fleet!"
The most frightening thing had happened.
This undoubtedly meant that after Lu Ye had teleported away, he had directly appeared in the fleet's vicinity.
Hu Guang didn't know how he had done this, but he knew that this was definitely not a coincidence. The three Yao cultivators rushed toward the fleet with all their might, but they had chased after him too far. Even if they returned to defend themselves, they would need some time.
The vast Myriad Sea was suddenly raining warships today. One after another, battered tiger shark warships spun and fell to the surface of the sea, sinking into the depths without even making a splash.
Many cultivators passing by saw this shocking scene from afar, and they were all shocked to the extreme.
This was because in their eyes, this was simply a massacre. A single person was massacring an entire fleet!
From afar, compared to the enormous fleet, that figure was as tiny as an ant. However, it was precisely this tiny figure that caused misfortune to befall any tiger shark warship he came into contact with.
It wasn't that the fleet didn't retaliate, but it was completely useless. Instead, it caused many casualties.
Zi Xuan's fleet this time consisted of one central warship that could accommodate a thousand people, and two large warships that could accommodate three hundred people each. Yue Yao was in charge of both warships, while the rest were in groups of five. There were nearly five hundred tiger shark warships in total. In the entire Myriad Sea, only a top force like Zi Xuan Island could produce such a large fleet.
No force below the top-tier spiritual islands could contend with such a large fleet.
When news of Zi Xuan's attack on the Three World Island spread, all the cultivators thought that the island was in for a bad time. This upper-tier spiritual island that had only been established for less than ten years would definitely be conquered and have a new master.
However, no one expected that this crazy battle would not start on the Three World Island, but on Zi Xuan's way. The Third Island Master of the Three World Island, Lu Ye, single-handedly led the fleet, destroying the tiger shark warships and slaughtering Zi Xuan's cultivators.
Zi Xuan's enormous fleet was helpless against this!
Not to mention the fate of the Three World Island, just this feat of one person fighting against an entire fleet was enough to be passed down for hundreds of years.
