According to the calculations of the Myriad Demon Ridge, Lu Ye should be able to enter a valley in four hours with his current speed.
Although the terrain there was not as good as the canyon just now, it was still quite suitable for forming an encirclement.
News after news was sent out. Numerous cultivators of the Myriad Demon Ridge rushed towards the mountain valley, preparing to deploy their forces in advance. As long as Lu Ye entered the mountain valley and accepted the challenge, then Zhu Pang would be able to hold on for another incense stick of time. At that time, the encirclement would be complete. At that time, no matter how great Lu Ye's ability was, he wouldn't be able to break out of the encirclement. Only death would await him!
The Myriad Demons Ridge's plan was very good.
However, only two hours later, a piece of news spread.
"Zhu Pang has already entered the arena!"
"What? Lu Yiye didn't wait for the four-hour time limit? Where is he now? "
After figuring out Lu Ye's location, the group was dumbfounded.
The place where Lu Ye was standing before was actually a flat plain!
This terrain was obviously not suitable for an ambush.
"He's sensed something. Quick, quick, quick, we don't know how long Zhu Pang can last. Quick, send someone to Lu Yiye's location."
The people of the Myriad Demon Ridge were not stupid. Lu Ye had deliberately chosen to enter the Battle Arena on a plain. There was no doubt that he was on guard.
At this moment, the best thing to do was to quickly surround Lu Yiye and Zhu Pang. Before the battle between Lu Yiye and Zhu Pang ended, they would form a tight encirclement.
P >
A large number of cultivators from the Myriad Devil Ridge hurriedly took action, and they felt extremely aggrieved in their hearts. They were clearly the ones who were secretly plotting against Lu Yiye this time, yet now, for some unknown reason, they seemed to have been led by the nose by Lu Yiye!
As the cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge hurriedly moved, Lu Ye and Zhu Pang appeared at the same time on the battlefield.
Logically speaking, since Lu Ye had sensed the intentions of the Myriad Devil Ridge, the safest response in the face of such a challenge was naturally to refuse.
However, if he really refused, there would be others who would challenge him until he was kicked out of the Spirit Stream List!
If that was the case, he would have to re-enter the rankings and re-calculate the time of one month to obtain the reward from Tianji. All the time he had spent accumulating would have been wasted.
That was why Lu Ye accepted their challenge. As long as he could win this match, no one would be able to challenge him in the future. That female archer and Ghost Shadow would definitely not be looking for trouble.
However, to avoid getting surrounded by the Myriad Demons Ridge's members, Lu Ye needed to end the battle quickly and not give the Myriad Demons Ridge too much time to exploit.
The white light in his field of vision dissipated, and Lu Ye saw a burly figure not far in front of him.
Lu Ye hadn't fought with Zhu Pang the last time he was on the ranking list. That was because when he challenged Zhu Pang, Zhu Pang had been directly rejected. At that time, Zhu Pang had been ranked in the thirties, but somehow, he had risen to the sixth position in a short period of time.
In the Spirit Stream Battlefield, the magnetic field howled and the force field became chaotic, causing the spiritual energy within the cultivators' bodies to be sealed.
However, it wasn't affected in the Arena.
Without saying a word, Lu Ye first carefully put away the saber technique book that Third Senior Brother had given him into his storage bag. Then, he immediately activated the wind spirit tattoo to strengthen his legs. Leaving behind an afterimage, he charged straight at Zhu Pang.
Zhu Pang seemed to want to greet Lu Ye and stall for time or something. However, seeing Lu Ye coming at him so aggressively, he didn't dare to say anything.
With a clatter, a strange object was draped over his body. It looked like a mechanism with a huge circular plate behind it. There were four mechanical arms on both sides of the circular plate, two on the left and two on the right. Each of the mechanical arms held a spirit weapon.
The spirit weapons on these mechanical arms should have been different types to increase their lethality. However, at this moment, Zhu Pang had replaced all of them with protective shields. Not only that, he was also holding a huge shield in his hands. This shield was twice the size of the other shields and could almost cover his burly body.
Including the mechanical shield he carried on his back, there were a total of six shield spirit artifacts, tightly enclosing him!
This was the first time Lu Ye had encountered such an opponent. This guy was clearly going to defend to the end! His intention to stall for time was too obvious.
Furthermore, this was the first time Lu Ye had seen a Yanshi on the Spirit Stream List!
This Zhu Pang was not only a body cultivator, but also a Yanshi. With the two schools complementing each other, it was easy to imagine how strong his defense was.
It was undeniable that when Zhu Pang brought out the Yanshi creation, Lu Ye's interest was piqued. That was because these mechanical arms looked extremely sinister, like the claws of a spider. However, in reality, they were extremely exquisite creations.
These creations had a collective name in the Yanshi school, Yanshi Armor!
Zhu Pang's Yanshi armor was clearly a half-body type armor, because it only covered the upper body. According to Lu Ye's knowledge, the Yanshi of the Nine Provinces could create full-body armor.
It was a Yanshi armor that could completely cover a cultivator. There were also humanoid Yanshi armor and beast-type Yanshi armor!
Lu Ye had seen these things in the books he had taken from Madam Yun. Because the interior of the Yanshi armor was filled with a large number of spirit tattoos, in order to create a good Yanshi armor, one had to first learn the appropriate spirit tattoos.
At that time, Lu Ye had developed a strong interest in the Yanshi armor. However, he knew the principle of biting off more than he could chew, so he did not spend too much time on it.
At that moment, Zhu Pang was wearing the Yanshi armor. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had the strongest defense on the Spirit Stream List.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ye had already arrived in front of Zhu Pang. His body leapt high into the air, and the Mountain Coiling Blade was unsheathed. A fiery red light surrounded it as he chopped down.
Spiritual energy madly poured into the Mountain Coiling Blade.
A flash!
Lu Ye had used his blade technique, which he was not very familiar with.
Facing an opponent who was so proficient in defense, the only way to kill him in the shortest amount of time possible was to use the most violent attack!
Zhu Pang's mechanical arms grabbed a shield in front of him. Following the activation of his Spiritual Energy, the shield shone brightly. It was obvious that he was going all out.
"Roar!" Hu Po roared.
Previously, when Lu Ye was fighting on the Spirit Stream List, Hu Po would only use the Soul Sucking Tiger's Roar when his opponent wanted to admit defeat. However, this time, it knew that it had to end the battle quickly. Therefore, it cooperated with Lu Ye from the start.
A sound wave that could be seen with the naked eye fiercely slammed into Zhu Pang's body. His body shook slightly, and the Spiritual Energy on the shield dimmed slightly.
It was obvious that he was affected by Hu Po's roar, which caused his Spiritual Energy to circulate somewhat sluggishly.
With a bang, the Mountain Coiling Blade chopped down on the Spirit Artifact shield. The violent force behind the blow caused Zhu Pang's body to shrink, almost causing him to kneel on the ground. At the same time, the Spirit Artifact shield shattered into pieces.
Even the mechanical arm that was holding the shield was chopped into pieces!
Zhu Pang could be said to have been scared out of his wits!
Previously, when he had been challenged by Lu Ye, he had directly refused. At that time, he had been working under the guidance of a Martial Uncle in the Sect to create this half-body armor. At that time, he didn't have the confidence to fight against Lu Ye. Furthermore, his ranking at that time wasn't too high.
After creating this half-body armor, Zhu Pang's strength had greatly increased, and he had triumphantly advanced on the Spirit Stream List. That was how he had risen from the thirtieth position to the sixth position, which gave him the qualifications to challenge Lu Ye.
When he had challenged Lu Ye, he had been confident that he could delay Lu Ye for at least an incense stick's worth of time. However, when Lu Ye's blade chopped down, that confidence had been shattered!
A Nine Restrictions Spirit Artifact had been shattered with a single slash, and even the mechanical arms had been destroyed. Was this really a slash from a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator?
Now, he was only rejoicing that he hadn't underestimated his opponent. When he had activated the Mountain Coiling Armor, he hadn't used any offensive Spirit Artifacts. Instead, he had chosen to use defensive Spirit Artifacts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight.
Just as Zhu Pang was lost in thought, Lu Ye chopped down with his blade again!
It was the same incomplete Flash Blade Technique!
Zhu Pang's reaction was extremely fast, and he quickly grabbed another shield to block the attack.
With another crashing sound, the second shield shattered, and the second mechanical arm was destroyed.
Zhu Pang's heart was bleeding!
Most of his strength came from the Mountain Coiling Armor. With the two mechanical arms destroyed, his strength had decreased by at least twenty percent. Moreover, the cost of repairing the Mountain Coiling Armor would be extremely high.
After the two slashes, Lu Ye's arm began to swell with pain.
This incomplete Blade Technique placed too much of a burden on the body. When Lu Ye had practiced before, he would rest for a long time after each slash. Only then would he slash out a second time.
Now that he had slashed out two times in a row, there was no way for him to use a third slash. Otherwise, his entire arm would be drained of strength, and he might even suffer from internal injuries.
However, the destruction of the two shields had caused a gap to appear in Zhu Pang's impenetrable defense.
In midair, Lu Ye raised his hand and pointed. Spiritual power surged, and a fiery red Vermillion Bird quickly took shape in front of him. It flapped its wings and rushed towards the gap in his defense.
Zhu Pang saw that things weren't looking good and hurriedly dodged to the side. However, at that moment, a tiger's roar shook the sky, causing Zhu Pang's body to tremble slightly. The Fire Phoenix Technique had already arrived in front of him.
He had no choice but to block in front of him with his shield. The Vermillion Bird's figure slammed into the shield, and flames soared into the sky. The faint smell of burnt flesh wafted out, mixed with Zhu Pang's muffled groan.
Lu Ye had discovered that his opponent's half-body Mountain Coiling Armor, supplemented by his powerful physique as a Body Cultivator, did indeed have a strong defense. However, correspondingly, his body wasn't agile enough. When facing a Weapon Cultivator like himself, if he couldn't defend against an attack, he would easily be at a disadvantage.
At this time, using Imperial Equipment wasn't the best method. Using Arts was the best method, because the power of Arts could more easily penetrate his opponent's defenses.
Lu Ye had already swept to Zhu Pang's side. The sound of his heavy footsteps alerted Zhu Pang. He hurriedly changed the direction of his defense, wanting to block the attack coming from Lu Ye's side.
However, at that moment, Hu Po's vigorous figure had already pounced forward. Its giant tiger claws slammed into one of Zhu Pang's shields, causing him to stagger.
Hu Po's abilities had never been limited to Tiger's Roar. It was a powerful Vicious Beast in itself, and its metal-elemental Yao Essence manifested its murderous nature.
However, there were very few occasions where it would be required to take action. Normally, when it encountered an enemy, Lu Ye would be able to take care of it on its own. If Lu Ye couldn't take care of it, it wouldn't be of any use.
However, it was different this time. Lu Ye needed to take care of this opponent who had defended himself to the teeth in the shortest amount of time possible. This gave Hu Po room to display its abilities.
