While thinking, Lionheart stood up slowly. His tall figure almost reached the top of the Star Boat, forcing Yuan Cheng to bend down slightly. He said in a low voice, "Fellow Yuan Cheng, thank you for escorting me all the way. Let's stop here."
"Huh?" Yuan Cheng was surprised. He looked back and saw that Lionheart had stood up. He couldn't help but avert his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Lionheart stared at him and said indifferently, "I have lived for so many years. Since the Demon Lord has arranged it, I will do as you say!"
Yuan Cheng hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything. He just sighed slightly and opened the door of the Star Boat. Lionheart immediately jumped out and stood in the starry sky. His aura began to rise. He was furious and looked around. His roar spread in all directions, "Get out here!"
He didn't see anyone nearby, but he knew that there must be someone here, and it was the person he was most afraid of!
When the sound waves swept in all directions, Lionheart suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction. Sure enough, he saw a figure standing quietly on a meteorite. He seemed to have been there all along, but neither he nor Yuan Cheng had noticed him before.
That person was tall and straight, with a young appearance and a long saber at his waist. Who else could it be but Lu Ye?
They looked at each other. Lionheart's eyes were full of fighting spirit. Even if he knew that he was no match for him, even if he knew that he would die today, he still wanted to show off his last glory. This was the glory of a Demon Cultivator who had been famous for many years!
Lu Ye stepped forward and walked toward Lionheart. At the same time, he spread out his Divine Sense and sensed the surroundings.
Although he came here to ambush after receiving Hei Yun's message, he couldn't figure out what Hei Yun was thinking.
If Hei Yun used Lionheart as bait and hid in the dark, it would be a trap for him!
Therefore, Lu Ye had to be careful.
Over the past few days, Lu Ye had set up a large number of Alert Arrays nearby. He also had several Precious Blood Doppelgangers hiding nearby to ensure that if Hei Yun really set up a trap, he could escape immediately.
But then again, Hei Yun had chosen this place to show his sincerity. If Hei Yun really wanted to set up a trap, there were better locations than this one.
This location was more suitable for killing people.
As they got closer, Lu Ye could clearly sense that something was wrong with Lionheart's condition. Although his aura seemed powerful, it was actually extremely weak.
Even though it had been four months since the battle and Lionheart had been recuperating on the Island of Versatility, the backlash he received from using his Beast Core was not something he could recover from so easily.
At this moment, Lionheart might not even be able to use seventy percent of his strength.
He was also in a very sorry state because his body was covered with wounds of various sizes. These wounds were all left behind by the Pan Mountain Saber that day. Even after four months, the strange power of the Fang still hadn't dissipated and was hindering his recovery.
Perhaps the black cloud had the ability to disperse the power of brightness, but it would have to pay a huge price and expend a great deal of energy. Lionheart's fate had already been decided, so he naturally would not waste this energy.
"If I die today, can this realm take back Purple Jade Island?" Lionheart suddenly asked.
Lu Ye, who was gradually approaching him, said calmly, "This is one of the conditions that the Three World Island negotiated with the Demon Venerable!"
Lionheart understood and knew that things were as he had guessed. He then asked, "What other conditions are there?"
"Ten billion Spirit Jades!" Lu Ye did not refuse to answer.
"Nothing else?"
"Nothing else!"
Lionheart nodded. "The Three World Island's way of doing things can be considered fair! Unfortunately, I, Lionheart, have managed Purple Jade Island for so many years, but in the end, I've become a sinner! "
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" Lu Ye looked at him coldly.
Lionheart laughed. "Even if time could turn back and I had another chance to choose, I would still devour that Wei Po. How can there be so much indecisiveness in this world? Since I've made my choice, I'll walk down this path! "
"That's why you deserve to die!"
"Then let's see if you can kill me today!" Lionheart roared furiously. Golden light flashed from his mouth as he directly summoned his daemon core. Unlike the situation back then, the daemon core suddenly shattered as soon as it was summoned. Soon after, a large expanse of golden light enveloped Lionheart. His body, which was already extremely burly in the first place, became dazzling golden in an instant.
Core Fusion Technique!
Taking out the Beast Core was a desperate method for Beast Cultivators. Although it would cause some damage and affect their foundation, as long as they could defeat the enemy, they would not die.
However, the Core Fusion Technique was different. It was the melting of the entire Beast Core, gathering all of its power into one's body. This was a true desperate secret technique. With one strike, regardless of whether the enemy died or not, the user would definitely die!
Not all Beast Cultivators could use the Core Fusion Technique. Lionheart happened to be the one who could use it.
Lionheart could not help but recall Hei Yun's instructions before he set off. This was probably what Hei Yun wanted to see.
He was a sinner of Purple Jade and no longer had the face to return to Purple Jade to prolong his life. Since that was the case, then he would release his last ray of light.
Under the support of the Core Fusion Technique, Lionheart's previous decadence changed. It was as if he had returned to his peak, and his aura had become even stronger than before!
He was about to pounce on Lu Ye.
However, at this moment, the long saber at Lu Ye's waist was unsheathed. Accompanied by the sound of the saber, Lionheart suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His burly body could not help but tremble.
There was no other reason. The wounds on his body, big and small, had all burst open at the same time.
It was as if countless small invisible hands were tearing at his wounds.
His flesh and blood alone were not enough to move him. The key was that as his wounds inexplicably burst open, an indescribable sense of pain drilled into his heart and soul. The aura he had worked so hard to accumulate dissipated.
Lionheart could not help but widen his eyes.
All this time, he had been able to feel an inexplicable power lingering around his wounds. This power was difficult to dispel, so his injuries had not improved. However, he never imagined that Lu Ye would be able to control this inexplicable power from a distance.
Blood splattered. The moment Lu Ye's saber was unsheathed, Lionheart turned into a bloody man. There was almost no part of his body that was intact.
Amidst the bloody impact, the golden light that enveloped Lionheart became extremely unstable.
Lu Ye had already arrived in front of Lionheart. Within the scabbard, the spiritual inscriptions of the Saber Draw that had been accumulating for several months dimmed. His figure flashed past Lionheart's side, and he slashed horizontally with his saber!
The powerful physique that had once given Lu Ye a headache was no longer an obstacle in front of this saber. The sudden tearing of his flesh and blood had greatly reduced the toughness of his physique, making it impossible for him to withstand the explosive power of the Saber Draw.
Lu Ye stood still and slowly returned the Mountain Pan Saber to its scabbard.
Three hundred meters behind him, Lionheart's burly figure stood tall in the air. He was still angry and arrogant, but he could not move as if he had been hit by a paralyzing spell.
All of a sudden, the mixture of golden light and bloody light that enveloped him shattered.
A clear line of blood appeared on his neck, which was as thick as a bucket. Then, blood spurted out like a fountain, and his head flew high into the air.
Lu Ye reached out and grabbed the head. Holding it in his hand, he glanced indifferently to the side.
In that direction, Yuan Cheng, who had yet to leave on his Star Boat, felt his scalp go numb.
When Lionheart had used the Core Fusion Technique and prepared to fight to the death, he had hoped that Lionheart would be able to drag Lu Ye down with him. After all, in this state, Lionheart should be invincible on Yue Yao's level.
However, the reality was completely different from what he had expected.
From beginning to end, Lu Ye had only used one saber strike, and it had been so powerful that he could barely look straight at Lionheart, who had been killed!
This Lu Ye … seemed to have become even stronger than the last time he had seen him.
Moreover … Lu Ye didn't need to do this at all. Lionheart, who had used the Core Fusion Technique, wouldn't live for much longer. Lu Ye only needed to tangle with him for a while, and Lionheart would die without a doubt. However, Lu Ye had still killed him with his own hands.
This guy's vengeful nature was clear to see. Not only had Wei Po died at the banquet that day, but he had also killed Lionheart in the end.
Even though they were separated by the starry sky, Yuan Cheng could still feel Lu Ye's gaze on him. It made him tremble.
"Go back and tell Yuan Du that the cause of all this isn't the Three World Island. The cultivators of the Three World Island have come from afar to make a living, and it's rare for them to have a foothold here. If anyone wants to take away this foundation, the cultivators of the Three World Island will never allow it.
Get out of here! "Yuan Cheng felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly steered his Star Boat back the way he had come. He made up his mind that he would never accept such a task again. It would scare him to death!
After Yuan Cheng left, Lu Ye turned to look at Lionheart's corpse. After a moment's thought, he put it away in his storage ring.
Lionheart's physique was so strong, so his Demon bones were definitely not bad. They would be good materials for refining artifacts. He couldn't waste them.
In fact, he had collected all the Demon bones of Yue Yao who had died on Purple Jade Island. However, there was a downside to using Demon bones to refine artifacts. If he used them against enemies and the Demon Race discovered them, they would easily become hostile.
The Three World Island and the Purple Jade Demonic Star had already formed a grudge, so there was no need to worry about this.
The battle here had ended in an instant. From the beginning to the end, Black Cloud Demonic Star hadn't shown up, nor had there been any hidden ambushes. From this, it seemed that Black Cloud Demonic Star was quite sincere.
This also proved one thing: the Purple Jade Demonic Star couldn't wait to take back Purple Jade Island, so it didn't want to cause any trouble.
Lu Ye leisurely returned to the Three World Island.
When he returned to the main island, he summoned He Baichuan.
He Baichuan didn't know what had happened and hurried over. However, when he arrived, he saw Lu Ye tossing a giant head in front of him.
He Baichuan was startled. When he took a closer look, he was astonished, "Lionheart?" Then he looked up at Lu Ye, "That's not right. Wasn't he hiding on the Island of Versatility? Junior Brother, how did you kill him? "
He couldn't say that Lu Ye had broken into the Island of Versatility and killed Lionheart. That was impossible.
Lu Ye said, "Didn't the Black Cloud Demonic Star come by a few days ago? I made some deals with him, and Lionheart's life was one of them."
He Baichuan's face was filled with disbelief, "That Black Cloud Demonic Star actually agreed to such a thing?"
"They want to take back Purple Jade Island, so we can't not agree!" Lu Ye pointed at Lionheart's head and said, "Find some time to send it to Senior Sister Luan. Senior Sister is trying to break through the sunshine, and Lionheart is dead. It should be able to untie a knot in her heart and clear her mind. It might help."
