It was undeniable that Lan Ziyi was very strong.
Her strength was the same as Lu Ye's, both of them exceeding the Spirit Stream Stage. Perhaps only the three malignant tumors of the Spirit Stream Stage from a few months ago had the qualifications to surpass them. However, those three had all been at the Spirit Stream Stage for more than a decade, and time had given them the ability to become powerful.
Their situation was different from Lu Ye and Lan Ziyi's.
Powerful people had their own secrets, and Lan Ziyi naturally had her own as well.
It was a secret that no one could know. Although she was only at the Spirit Stream Stage, her vision far exceeded that of the Spirit Stream Stage, and the various techniques she had mastered were not something that the Spirit Stream Stage could compare to.
She raised her thumb and wiped the corner of her mouth, then looked down. That's right, she was bleeding …
She couldn't figure out how there could be a Spirit Stream Stage cultivator in this world who could hurt her.
The faint smile on her face disappeared, and her expression became serious. She raised her large sword and held the hilt in front of her with both hands.
In an instant, the charming woman gave off a feeling that she was impregnable. It was as if as long as she stood there, no attack could knock her down.
Lu Ye naturally wouldn't give her time to breathe. He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and two pits immediately appeared on the ground. He left behind afterimages as he rushed toward Lan Ziyi.
Before he even got close, Lu Ye saw the woman suddenly separate her hands, and the large sword in front of her suddenly turned into two long swords!
This large sword was actually a combination of two long swords.
Lu Ye was surprised. This woman really had a lot of tricks up her sleeves. However, this didn't affect his speed and determination to kill her.
The distance between them quickly closed.
Lan Ziyi suddenly assumed a strange posture. One of the two long swords was pointed to the sky and the other to the ground. Her graceful and tall body spun slightly, and the sword slashed out.
It met Lu Ye's blade head-on.
Clang … Sparks flew in all directions, and Lu Ye's forward momentum was stopped. However, the power transmitted from the spirit weapon made Lu Ye realize one thing, and that was that the power contained in his opponent's sword had weakened.
Because it was clear that he had the upper hand in this collision.
He had a bad feeling and didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue. Instead, he took a step back.
Just as he took this step back, Lan Ziyi's body spun slightly again, and the other long sword came crashing down.
Clang …
Lu Ye took another step back.
Clang clang clang …
With every sound, Lu Ye had to take a step back.
Lan Ziyi, who had a huge sword in her hand, was extremely powerful, but her attacks were clumsy.
Now that the greatsword had turned into two swords, the strength was somewhat restrained, but the agility and speed of the attack were incomparable to before.
Lan Ziyi had two different sword styles, so her fighting style was completely different. What was shocking was that she could perfectly control these two styles and switch between them as she pleased!
This woman was tall and slender to begin with, and the longsword in her hand was half a foot longer than an ordinary longsword. With her as the center, she was able to attack with a radius of tens of feet.
That sword light flashed out, slashing through the void and carrying a sharp killing intent.
Lu Ye suddenly thought of a scene, if this woman was surrounded by a large number of enemies, with this move, she would be able to wipe them all out.
Now, wherever she went, it was as if she had set off a storm of death.
Initially, Lu Ye was still able to block every attack, but as he kept retreating, the speed of his opponent's body became faster and faster, and the frequency of her attacks became higher and higher. After retreating for a dozen steps, Lu Ye was unable to keep up with the opponent's rhythm. Often, out of the five sword strikes, he would only be able to block four, and there was still one sword that would definitely hit him.
Fortunately, he could still activate the defensive spirit rune, but even so, he could only passively defend!
After retreating for another dozen steps, Lan Ziyi's attack speed increased again, and the clanging sounds of the sword and saber clashing were dense and incessant.
Accompanied by the light of the defensive spirit rune shattering, there was also the scene of blood splattering.
In just a few breaths' time, Lu Ye's body had more than a dozen wounds of varying depths.
He knew that he could not retreat anymore. The battlefield was only so big, and once he retreated to the edge, he would be in a situation where he could no longer retreat. When the storm of death swept over, if he could not block it, he would probably be sliced into pieces in an instant.
Should he use Flash? He had already used it once just now, and even with the enhancement of the Dual Sharpness Spirit Rune, he still could not break through the other party's layer of defense.
Lu Ye still did not understand how the other party had blocked that attack, and what was with that layer of defense.
Before figuring this out, it was definitely not a good idea to use Flash rashly.
With a thought, the Pan Mountain Saber in Lu Ye's hand flashed with spirit light. His retreating figure suddenly stopped, and he charged forward.
Blood splattered, and at this moment, the defensive spirit rune that had just been formed shattered. Several more wounds appeared on Lu Ye's body, and his flesh was torn apart.
However, Lu Ye's saber also landed on Lan Ziyi's body. The moment the saber touched her body, Lu Ye's eyes were enhanced by the Insight Spirit Rune, and he was more spirited than ever.
That invisible layer of defense appeared again, blocking the saber.
However, after blocking the saber, the defense disappeared. It was extremely strange. Even with the Insight Spirit Rune in his eyes, Lu Ye could not see what the defense was for a moment.
Lu Ye forced Lan Ziyi to retreat with his saber, and the woman floated more than ten feet away. She stood on the spot, and pointed her two swords at Lu Ye, while the other was behind her back.
Compared to Lu Ye's sorry state, Lan Ziyi was undoubtedly much calmer. At the very least, she had no injuries on her body. On the other hand, Lu Ye's clothes were somewhat tattered, and his entire body was wrapped in a thick layer of blood qi.
Ever since he challenged the Spirit Stream List, Lu Ye had never been in such a sorry state.
The woman in front of him was definitely the strongest person he had ever met in the Spirit Stream Realm.
Lan Ziyi finally realized that something was wrong. Lu Ye had suffered so many injuries, but not a single drop of blood flowed out. Moreover, the more serious his injuries were, the thicker the blood qi shrouding his body.
Lan Ziyi tilted her head, looking puzzled. The tall and charming woman looked a little silly when she put on such an expression.
In her eyes, Lu Ye was like an injured ferocious beast, and the ferocity hidden in his bones had been completely stimulated.
The two figures flashed at the same time, and in the next instant, the two people who had disappeared reappeared at the same time. Their sabers and swords clashed …
Lan Ziyi let out a cry of surprise. The power that Lu Ye displayed this time was much greater than before, and his speed was also much faster than before!
The blood-stained spirit pattern was showing its effect!
In the previous confrontation, Lu Ye had been slashed by this woman to the point of doubting his life. Although he had constructed the blood-stained spirit pattern, it would take time to take effect, and the results would not be seen immediately.
At this point, however much blood Lu Ye had lost, the blood-stained spirit pattern would increase his strength.
The blood qi that shrouded his body was the manifestation of the blood-stained spirit pattern.
The Mountain Pan Saber was almost dancing into a ball of saber light, while Lan Ziyi's two swords were indescribably fast. At this moment, in terms of strength, Lu Ye undoubtedly had the absolute advantage, because every time they clashed, his swords would be bent back.
However, in terms of speed, even with the support of the blood-stained spirit pattern, Lu Ye was still no match for Lan Ziyi.
With two swords in hand, Lan Ziyi stabbed at him from all sorts of unbelievable angles, causing more and more wounds to appear on Lu Ye's body.
The Mountain Pan Saber kept slashing at Lan Ziyi's body, but every time, an invisible barrier appeared on the surface of Lan Ziyi's body, blocking his attacks.
Slowly, Lu Ye began to understand.
Although he didn't know how the barrier was formed, it wasn't invincible. As his attacks fell, the barrier showed signs of weakening. However, because his attacks weren't enough to break through the barrier, he still hadn't been able to injure Lan Ziyi.
As long as the barrier was not broken, Lan Ziyi would be invincible!
As if sensing Lu Ye's intention, Lan Ziyi suddenly said, "That's a spirit robe. As long as my spirit energy is not depleted, the spirit robe will always be there. If you want to defeat me, you will have to exhaust all of my spirit energy."
With Lan Ziyi's cultivation, she naturally had more spirit energy than Lu Ye. Moreover, in a battle like this, Lu Ye's spirit energy was depleted more.
Before Lu Ye's spirit energy was depleted, Lan Ziyi's spirit energy would not be depleted.
Lu Ye did not think that Lan Ziyi suddenly told him this out of kindness. In a battle of life and death, revealing one's trump card to the enemy was undoubtedly a psychological tactic.
Lan Ziyi was clearly telling him that as long as his spirit energy was not depleted, the spirit robe would not be broken. Obviously, she was trying to undermine Lu Ye's confidence. If other cultivators heard this, they would immediately think of retreating. Once such thoughts were born, they would not be far from death.
The only thing Lu Ye was sure of was that Lan Ziyi was not lying. This so-called spirit robe was probably related to her spirit energy.
This reminded him of the last battle at the Golden Light Peak.
It was a battle between him and the Sacred Flame Sect's Saintess. The other party had used a spirit weapon to create a layer of defense. It was also the type that had an endless supply of spirit energy and was unbreakable. However, reality proved that there was no such thing as an unbreakable defense. There were only weak attacks!
If he wanted to break this type of defense, he would have to use methods that exceeded its defensive capabilities.
Did he have such a method?
He had already used One Flash. However, even with the support of the Dual Sharpness Spirit Mark, it was still unable to break through the other party's defense.
It seemed that he would have to use another kind of blade technique!
Over the past few days, he had been observing his Third Senior Brother's blade technique cultivation experience. What he had learned was not only the Man Blade Technique and the Blood Transmutation Technique.
There was a simple blade technique recorded in the experience. Lu Ye had used the Blood Transmutation Technique to cultivate One Flash. He had also tried using it and had easily mastered it.
This blade technique could be used together with One Flash …
Lu Ye had never tried using it before. He did not know if he could use it with his current strength. However, this was his last hope. If he could not use it, then there was a high probability that he would have to call Yiyi and Hu Po to gang up on Lan Ziyi.
This was a challenge for the Spirit Stream List. The first place on the list was related to the face of both factions. It was not a place to talk about morality.
