Against Zi Xuan, everything was going according to plan. Using the Minor Constellation Hall to break Zi Xuan's defensive formation, he first killed Bao Youyou, then killed Hu Guang, and attracted the cultivators of the Three World Island.
The battle was coming to an end, but there was one thing that was not perfect.
Therefore, from Lu Ye's point of view, he had to kill Lionheart to give an explanation to Wei Po and Luan Xiaoe who died in front of him.
Since he recognized Hu Xue's identity, he naturally knew the consequences of killing this woman. However, there were some things in this world that could not be avoided even if one knew they could not be done.
Moreover, he felt that Hu Xue should not have reached the level of facing death with equanimity! Therefore, he had to show his attitude, only then could he intimidate the other party.
The Pan Mountain Saber pressed against the other party's slender neck. Lu Ye's killing intent was awe-inspiring, and the words that came out of his mouth were like ancient ice, chilling to the bone.
Hu Xue blinked. Seeing the determination in Lu Ye's eyes, she realized that the other party was not trying to scare her. If she did not release the battle stage, this young man would probably really kill her.
Of course, she could also take a gamble. Perhaps the other party was just trying to scare her. With Yuan Du standing behind her, would there really be anyone who dared to kill her on the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea?
How should she choose? Even with Hu Xue's nimbleness, she was caught in a dilemma.
Seeing that Lu Ye was about to open his mouth again and the saber in his hand was about to continue pressing down, Hu Xue no longer dared to hesitate. She cried out in alarm, "No!"
"Release!"
"I'll release …" Hu Xue responded. Following the activation of her transcendence energy, the sound of silk tearing rang out, crisp and melodious.
Lu Ye was stunned, staring at the snow-white figure in front of him …
Hu Xue's expression became extremely bitter, as if she was about to cry. Two inexplicable blushes even appeared on her cheeks. Due to the activation of her transcendence energy, the shadows of the six snow-white fox tails behind her swayed, adding a hint of wildness and seductiveness.
"What are you doing?" Lu Ye's eyes drooped.
Hu Xue blinked. "Didn't you ask me to release? I've already released … "
She had indeed released, but what she released was not the battle stage's restraints, but her own clothes. Even though Lu Ye had experienced countless battles, he had never experienced such an outrageous thing.
In the midst of a battle of life and death, when the long saber was about to take her life, such a delicate woman suddenly had her clothes torn apart. This matter was indeed somewhat outrageous.
Hu Xue withdrew her seductive manner and suddenly covered her mouth as she chuckled, "Oh? Are you asking me to unlock the battle platform? Why didn't you say so earlier? Looks like I misunderstood. Alright, I'll undo the seal right now … "A hint of provocation flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes." I dare to undo it, but do you dare to let me undo it? "
Lu Ye finally understood what this woman was up to.
If Hu Xue were to release the battle platform at this moment, then the state of the two would immediately appear before the eyes of the cultivators in the outside world. At that time, when the bystanders saw this scene, what would they think?
What would Yuan Du think if the news reached his ears?
The Guardian of Sunshine was not allowed to interfere in the battle for the Spiritual Island. This was the rule of the Wanxiang Sea, unless one of the parties requested for arbitration.
Therefore, even if Lionheart fled to the Wanxiang Island, Yuan Du would not personally appear. He only sent Yuan Cheng to receive him.
But if the matter of "Lu Ye of the Three World Island bullying the weak and humiliating Hu Xue" was exposed, then Yuan Du would have a reason to intervene. Even if he killed Lu Ye on the spot, no one would say anything. Any man with a bit of courage would not be able to remain indifferent when his woman was being bullied like this. This was a matter of a man's pride and dignity, especially when Yuan Du was a strong cultivator in the Sunshine State!
The battle stage was sealed. Who knew what would happen between a man and a woman in there? At that time, Hu Xue only needed to add fuel to the fire and Lu Ye would die no matter how many lives he had.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Ye began to admire the female demon in front of him. Under such circumstances, she could actually come up with a countermeasure so quickly. He had to admit that she was quick-witted. Restraining his killing intent, he said, "I've long heard that the Six-tailed Fox Clan is cunning and changeable. You really live up to your reputation."
"Thank you for the compliment." Hu Xue pursed her lips and smiled. She raised two fingers and placed them on the body of the Mountain Blade that was pressed against her neck. Gently pushing it away, she stood up leisurely, not caring that her body was exposed. The six tails behind her danced even more enchanting. "I don't have any other requests. You and I will wait here for thirty breaths. I will release the battle stage and set you free. Of course, I won't tarnish your reputation. I don't want to expose myself in public like this, so you can rest assured."
"To save Lionheart, is it worth it?" Lu Ye looked at her.
Hu Xue's expression became melancholy. "Of course it's worth it!" She looked at Lu Ye's several clones and said with interest, "Your cloning technique is very mysterious …"
"What a pity!"
"What?" Hu Xue turned to look at Lu Ye. What she saw was an extremely bright blade light. Hu Xue's expression changed drastically. She only had time to cry out in alarm before the resplendent blade light enveloped her.
When the saber light dissipated, Hu Xue also disappeared without a trace. Only a cloud of blood mist was left behind. Within the blood mist, a pink Yao Core and a few storage rings were extremely conspicuous.
Lu Ye put away his blade, his expression as calm as water. The six treasured blood clones turned back into treasured blood and returned to his main body. At the same time, the surrounding scenery collapsed rapidly. This undoubtedly meant that the shackles of the battle stage had been released with Hu Xue's death.
If possible, he actually didn't want to kill Hu Xue, just like he didn't want to kill Yuan Cheng in Zi Xuan. Because these two people were too close to Yuan Du, killing them would definitely cause trouble.
However, Hu Xue's response, which she thought was clever, forced Lu Ye to kill her.
Although Hu Xue had promised that she wouldn't tarnish his reputation when she released the battle stage, which undoubtedly meant that she would wear her clothes before releasing the battle stage, Lu Ye didn't dare to believe it so easily.
After interacting with Hu Xue for a short while, Lu Ye had already deeply experienced this woman's cunning. Who knew which words from her mouth were true and which were false?
If Hu Xue still maintained this appearance and released the battle stage, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he opened his mouth.
Therefore, there was only one thing Lu Ye could do, which was to kill and destroy the corpse!
Hu Xue had already turned into a burst of bloody mist. Who knew whether she was wearing clothes or not?
As for whether it would anger Yuan Du … that was certain. However, Hu Xue attacked him first, so it was reasonable for him to counterattack and kill the enemy. Even Yuan Du couldn't find fault with it.
He chose the lesser of two evils. Killing Hu Xue was better than being slandered by her.
As for the trouble that would follow … He already had a grudge with Yuan Du. Zi Xuan's targeting of the Three Realms Island had Yuan Du's shadow. Would there be any less trouble?
After collecting the Yao Core and several storage rings left behind by Hu Xue, his eyes lit up. When Lu Ye came back to his senses, he had already reappeared on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, still at the position where he had disappeared. There was also a treasure beside him, which was Hu Xue's battle stage. Lu Ye reached out and grabbed it.
The battle stages of the Nine Continents were one-time consumable treasures, but the battle stages in the starry sky weren't. They could be used multiple times.
Lu Ye hurriedly raised his head and looked forward, but Lionheart was nowhere to be seen.
He abruptly turned around and saw a tall and sturdy figure standing on the Ten Thousand Elephant Island. His aura was weak and his face was extremely pale. Who else could it be but Lionheart?
Lu Ye clenched his teeth. He was still one step too late!
He didn't spend too much time fighting with Hu Xue, and he didn't hesitate to kill her. However, Lionheart still entered the Ten Thousand Elephant Island.
This meant that the assassination attempt had failed completely. Lu Ye glared at Lionheart with eyes that were about to spit fire.
Yuan Cheng stood beside Lionheart. At this moment, Yuan Cheng's face was filled with horror. He looked behind Lu Ye and searched around, obviously looking for Hu Xue, but how could he find her?
Although he already had a guess, he couldn't help but ask, "Lu Ye! Where's Hu Xue? "
Lu Ye ignored him and pointed his Mountain Pan Saber at Lionheart, "You'd better hide in there for the rest of your life!"
Lionheart had entered the Ten Thousand Elephant Island. He couldn't kill his way in, that was no different from courting death. However, Lionheart couldn't hide here forever. If he dared to leave the Ten Thousand Elephant Island one day, it would be his death!
He sheathed his saber and turned around to leave.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat as a great danger descended from the sky. Without thinking, he hurriedly channeled his spiritual energy to connect with the red talisman in his body.
When he killed Hu Xue, he had already foreseen this scene. After all, Hu Xue was one of Yuan Du's most beloved concubines. It was impossible for Yuan Du to not react when she was killed.
As it turned out, Yuan Du had indeed come!
Since he had foreseen this scene, how could Lu Ye not react? The red talisman in his body was his trump card. If he wanted to escape from Rizhao, he had to channel the power of the red talisman.
As long as he could avoid Yuan Du here, he could survive.
He killed Hu Xue because the other party attacked first, and he retaliated. It happened in front of everyone's eyes, there was no way to fake it.
However, Yuan Du came in a rage, his fist was not as hard as the others, so Lu Ye naturally had to avoid him.
If Yuan Du continued to pursue him, it would be a violation of the rules they had set. At that time, the other Ten Thousand Elephant Sea Guardians would most likely not sit by and watch.
It could even be said that Yuan Du's arrival at this moment had already broken the rules.
Of course, to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea Guardians, everyone else was outsiders, while Yuan Du was one of them. Even if they wanted to uphold the rules here, it was still possible for them to react a little slower. And that little delay was enough for a Rizhao to take Yue Yao's life.
Therefore, Lu Ye couldn't and didn't dare to entrust his life to others.
Yuan Du's Rizhao's aura spread out. Before he arrived, his aura was already as heavy as a mountain, making it difficult to breathe. Lu Ye had already activated the power of the red talisman. Just as he was about to activate it, he suddenly felt another Rizhao's aura spreading out from another direction on the Ten Thousand Elephant Island.
The pressure brought by Yuan Du's aura was instantly swept away.
Then a third aura …
Lu Ye couldn't help but be surprised. How did the Ten Thousand Elephant Island's Rizhao react so quickly?
Originally, he thought that even if Yuan Du broke the rules, the other Rizhao would just turn a blind eye and let Yuan Du vent his anger first. He didn't expect that there would be someone who really wanted to uphold the rules. This surprised him greatly.
