Within the wooden hut, Lu Ye accepted the challenge and chose the location of the arena. Suddenly, a heavenly will descended, and the two of them quickly disappeared.
Once again, the arena was only a few dozen meters in radius. Lu Ye steadied himself and waited for the white light in his field of vision to dissipate before looking at his opponent.
On the other side of the arena, a tall woman dressed in purple stood there silently. Her appearance was undoubtedly very beautiful, and her figure was also excellent. Her entire person exuded a tranquil and elegant aura.
This woman's name was Lan Ziyi, and she was dressed in purple, which was quite fitting.
Lu Ye looked down and raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.
He was sizing up his opponent, and she was sizing him up as well. As the strongest cultivators from both sides, it wasn't that they were friends, but rather, it was an instinct to observe one's opponent before a battle.
Lan Ziyi didn't seem to have any spirit tools on her. Lu Ye wondered if she was a spell cultivator.
However, based on her attire, that didn't seem to be the case.
Regardless of whether she was or not, he would know once he gave it a try.
The weapon box at his waist buzzed, and nine streaks of light shot towards Lan Ziyi like ferocious tigers. In the blink of an eye, they had covered more than half of the distance between them.
Lan Ziyi raised her hand and pointed forward. A streak of pure spiritual energy shot out in the form of a spiritual energy thread.
This wasn't a spell technique, but rather a precise control of one's spiritual energy. However, its power wasn't inferior to any spell technique.
What was even more surprising was that after this line of spiritual energy flew out, it suddenly split into nine and attacked nine streams of light.
A series of clanging sounds rang out as Lu Ye's nine imperial tools were all blocked.
Not only that, but even more streaks of spiritual energy shot out from the other side, one after another. Some of the streaks of spiritual energy didn't change, while others suddenly split. In an instant, the space in front of Lu Ye was covered by countless streaks of spiritual energy, forming a large net that descended towards him.
This net of spiritual energy sealed the heavens and locked down the earth, making it impossible for Lu Ye to dodge.
He unsheathed his Mountain Plate Saber and slashed forward.
A fiery red streak of light flashed past, and a hole appeared in the net of spiritual energy surrounding Lu Ye. Lu Ye shot out like an arrow towards Lan Ziyi.
His opponent seemed to be a magic cultivator, so Lu Ye naturally wanted to fight her in close combat. Only then could he display his advantage.
However, Lu Ye had just rushed out when he heard a clear and melodious clanging sound. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen streaks of light had already shot towards him.
Those streaks of light were all flying swords!
A Dharma cultivator driving a flying sword? This was not common.
Lu Ye was not alarmed. Under the control of his mind, the nine Imperial Equipment around him welcomed the flying swords. At the same time, his footsteps did not stop as he continued to charge forward.
Clanking sounds could be heard as the Imperial Equipment of both sides clashed in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ye was already thirty meters away from Lan Ziyi. His Pan Mountain Blade was wrapped in flames, and his killing intent was bursting out.
Lan Ziyi, who was standing still, raised her hand and grabbed at the air. A huge sword appeared in her hand. Lu Ye did not even see how the sword appeared.
This was a two-handed greatsword. It was much wider and heavier than a normal longsword. Being held in the hands of a woman like Lan Ziyi would undoubtedly create a strong visual impact.
She gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands and faced Lu Ye's slash with her sword!
Boom …
Waves of air swept across the battlefield. In the instant that spiritual energy went berserk, Lu Ye's body shook and stabilized.
On the other side, Lan Ziyi also slightly arched her body and did not retreat a single step.
This surprised Lu Ye, because there had never been a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator who could take one of his attacks without retreating. Even a Physique Cultivator of the Nine Heavens Realm would find it difficult to do so.
However, such a beautiful and tall woman was able to do it.
This woman was definitely not a Dharma cultivator!
What made Lu Ye even more concerned was that this woman had a faint smile on her face from the beginning to the end. Her silent demeanor gave off a sense of superiority.
Han Tiejun was right. This woman had a lot of tricks up her sleeves. Moreover, she was facing the battle with a playful attitude.
The two of them were in a deadlock at close range. The distance between them was less than ten meters. Their eyes met, and the red and blue spiritual energy clashed fiercely under their respective control.
Normally, in this situation, it was time for the Sunshine Spirit Rune to appear …
The Pan Mountain Saber flashed with a dazzling light. At the same time, Lu Ye suddenly felt an irresistible force in front of him. Under the push of that violent force, he actually floated back several meters.
At the same time, Lan Ziyi took advantage of the momentum to retreat and closed her eyes tightly.
Ding ding dang dang …
Around the two of them, the Imperial Equipment and Flying Sword were still constantly clashing. Even when the saber and sword clashed, the confrontation did not stop.
This was undoubtedly a great test of a person's mind. Lu Ye's mind was strong because his Divine Soul had been cleansed in the Soul Cleansing Pool, and then he had taken a lot of Soul Cleansing Water.
However, the strength of Lan Ziyi's mind was not inferior to Lu Ye's. This was somewhat inconceivable.
Just as the two of them were retreating, a Flying Sword broke through the blockade of Lu Ye's Imperial Equipment and silently slashed at him.
Before Lu Ye landed on the ground, he didn't even look and swung his saber. The powerful destructive force made the Flying Sword dim, and it flew directly to the edge of the battlefield.
The Sunshine Spirit Rune, which had always been successful, did not work this time. Lan Ziyi's reaction was too fast. The moment she sensed that something was wrong, she pushed Lu Ye away and closed her eyes.
When the light dissipated, the two figures charged at each other at the same time. Once again, they fiercely collided. It was as if two mountains had collided. The big sword and the long saber had different colored lights attached to them. They were entangled together, and killing intent was bursting out.
Lu Ye's eyes narrowed. When he was pushed away just now, he sensed that something was wrong.
This woman's strength was a little too strong. At this moment, he felt it even more clearly. Every time the saber and sword clashed, the arm holding the saber trembled slightly, and the web between his thumb and forefinger gradually became numb.
He was simply in disbelief.
In a competition of strength, he actually lost to a woman!
Looking at her Qi and blood, it was not to an outrageous extent. How could she erupt with such powerful strength?
During the confrontation, Lu Ye thought of a possibility and immediately constructed the Insight Spirit Rune in his eyes.
Under the Insight Spirit Rune, he finally saw it clearly.
In terms of Qi and blood, Lan Ziyi was indeed inferior to him. However, this woman was clearly proficient in the Blood Transferring Art. Every time the big sword slashed down, she could perfectly unleash all of her strength. That was why her strength was stronger than his.
This was something that Lu Ye could not achieve. Although he had practiced the Blood Transferring Art for a few days, he was far from being as skilled as her.
If Lu Ye's strength was a hundred, then Lan Ziyi's was at most seventy or eighty. However, if Lu Ye didn't use the Blood Transfer Technique, he could only use half of his strength. If he used the Blood Transfer Technique, he could be on par with Lan Ziyi, but he couldn't be as skilled as Lan Ziyi.
On the other hand, Lan Ziyi could unleash all of her strength at any time.
Lu Ye did not dare to use the Blood Transferring Art casually. The battle had just begun, and it was unwise to rashly use his trump card before figuring out the opponent's strength.
The so-called trump card was something that could determine the outcome of the battle with a single strike!
Although Lu Ye's strength was inferior to his opponent's, he still had spiritual tattoos that he could use. Wind Travel, Heavy Pressure, Sharp Edge, and various other spiritual tattoos were activated, which caused Lan Ziyi to suffer a lot. For a time, the two of them were locked in battle.
Hu Po wandered around the edge of the battlefield, while Yiyi hid underground. Neither of them participated in this battle.
One spirit and one tiger knew what Lu Ye was thinking. It was rare to meet such an opponent, so he naturally wanted to fight to his heart's content and use this opportunity to train himself. Otherwise, if they all attacked together, it would be meaningless even if they won.
The Imperial Equipment and Flying Swords clashing in the sky gradually quieted down …
Both Lu Ye and Lan Ziyi had sensed the opponent's strength. Facing such an opponent, neither of them could afford to be distracted, so they both withdrew their Imperial Equipment and Flying Swords.
Another fierce collision occurred. The Heavy Pressure Spirit Tattoo caused Lan Ziyi's body to shrink and almost kneel on the ground. Taking advantage of his opponent's momentary carelessness, Lu Ye's Qi and blood madly gathered in his right arm. In an instant, his entire right arm swelled up, and his skin turned red.
Spirit light flashed on the Mountain Pan Saber, and Double Sharpness was enhanced.
A flash!
He got it!
The saber slashed at Lan Ziyi's waist. With the explosive power of A flash and the enhancement of the Double Sharpness Spirit Tattoo, no one in the Spirit Stream Realm could block this attack. The most likely outcome for Lan Ziyi was to be cut in half and die on the spot.
However, in the next moment, Lu Ye realized something was wrong.
The saber had indeed hit Lan Ziyi, but his opponent's body was not cut in half. The moment the saber fell, Lu Ye clearly saw a thick layer of barrier wrap around Lan Ziyi.
The powerful force sent Lan Ziyi flying. His body flipped a few times in the air before landing in a sorry state.
However, Lu Ye also felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. In the instant that Lan Ziyi was sent flying, that huge sword had pierced into his body, sinking three inches into his flesh. If he had not sent Lan Ziyi flying, that sword would have pierced right through him!
When such a large sword stabbed into the body, the wounds caused by it were extremely impressive.
Lu Ye's abdomen immediately spurted blood, and he staggered back.
He hurriedly constructed a Blood Stain Spirit Tattoo on his chest, and the blood that gushed out gathered under the guidance of the spirit tattoo.
Standing on the spot, Lu Ye frowned and looked at the woman on the other side.
He couldn't understand what kind of defense that layer of protection was. It was able to block his attack, which was enhanced by the Sharpness Spirit Tattoo and activated the Blood Transfer Technique!
He didn't see any signs of Lan Ziyi activating a spirit artifact, which meant that the layer of protection was her own ability.
This was troublesome!
He couldn't even break the other party's defense with a flash. How was he going to kill her?
On the other side, Lan Ziyi was half-crouching, her large sword stabbed into the ground. Her feet plowed two lines of marks in the arena, and she barely didn't fall down.
Although she didn't know what method she used to block that fatal attack and avoid the fate of being cut in half by Lu Ye's saber, the violent impact couldn't be mitigated. At this moment, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
She supported herself with her long sword and slowly stood up. Her eyes curiously looked at Lu Ye, as if she wanted to re-evaluate him.
