Within the dark green fog, Wei Zhong lowered his head to look at his chest. There was a wound there that wasn't too obvious, but it was a fatal wound!
Because his heart had been pierced through.
At the last moment of his life, Wei Zhong felt his broken heart beat weakly, and as his strength drained away, he fell to the ground with a thud.
He had not expected that Lu Ye would have something that could take his life in a single blow! Even if his strength had declined, he was still a strong Body Cultivator, so how could he be so vulnerable?
What he didn't know was that the artifact in Lu Ye's hand could even penetrate Giant Armor's defence in an instant.
This artifact was the broken arrow Wei Que had used at that time!
Although Giant Armor was only a Fifth-Order cultivator now, in terms of physique and defence, he was not inferior to the Ninth-Order Wei Zhong. This broken arrow could break through Giant Armor's defence, so naturally it could also break through his.
In addition, Lu Ye had caught him off guard, so it was only natural that he would end up like this.
However, although this broken arrow was powerful, its only drawback was that it consumed a lot of Spirit Qi.
Fortunately, Lu Ye had a Spirit Storage Ring on his hand, and after such a long time, the Spirit Qi stored in his Spirit Storage Ring had already been filled to the brim. After using this artifact, Lu Ye clearly felt that more than half of the Spirit Qi in his Spirit Storage Ring had disappeared in an instant.
In other words, even if he borrowed the Spirit Qi stored in his Spirit Storage Ring, he could only use this broken arrow once in a short period of time. If he wanted to use it a second time, he would have to exhaust all the remaining Spirit Qi in his Spirit Storage Ring as well as a portion of his own Spirit Qi.
In addition to the huge consumption of Spirit Qi, the biggest problem with this broken arrow was the number of times it could be used.
There were all kinds of strange artifacts, but without exception, they all had a limit to the number of times they could be used, and most of them were one-time consumables.
This was the case with the Tracking Plate, the Golden Body Token, and even the Death Arena.
Although this broken arrow was not a one-time consumable, it could not be used too many times. When Lu Ye obtained it, there was already a crack on it, and now that it had been used once, the crack had obviously grown larger. If Lu Ye had time to observe, he would have been able to see that this broken arrow could only be used once more at most.
However, at this moment, he didn't have the time to investigate the situation of the broken arrow. After killing Wei Zhong, the broken arrow flew back to his hand under his control.
Although he had the upper hand in the current situation, with a large number of cultivators with low cultivation levels being like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, there were still some who had the power to resist. Killing a Ninth Order Body Cultivator with lightning speed was enough to deter a small number of Masters, making it easier for him to take action.
Therefore, he would not use the broken arrow unless he had no other choice.
This was indeed the case. The moment Wei Zhong made a move, Song Zhui, Ning Zi Zai, and the other Ninth Order masters noticed it and rushed over to provide support. However, in the next moment, Wei Zhong fell to the ground and his vitality dissipated.
Under the cover of the poisonous fog, they couldn't see what had happened, but they could perceive that Wei Zhong's aura had been annihilated, which undoubtedly caused great shock to these Ninth Order masters.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically as they stopped in their tracks. Song Zhui probed in a low voice, "Brother Wei?"
There was no response!
Song Zhui swallowed his saliva with difficulty. The situation … was getting worse.
He didn't expect that Lu Ye could even kill Wei Zhong! Even if Wei Zhong was affected by the poisonous fog and couldn't exert his full strength, he was still a strong Body Cultivator …
In fact, before this, Song Zhui had been quite calm. Although the current situation was bad, and Lu Ye was hunting everywhere, the number of Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators was still there, and there were even a few Ninth Order cultivators guarding them. He always felt that Lu Ye would not be able to leave this place alive, unless Lu Ye could kill everyone.
But when Wei Zhong died, this determination in his heart was shaken.
Even Wei Zhong couldn't block Lu Ye's attack, so how could they?
"Go!" Song Zhui shouted in a low voice and rushed back in the direction they came from with a few of his fellow disciples. The Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators with low cultivation couldn't be counted on, so they could only clean up the collapsed mine tunnel and leave this place quickly.
Suddenly, a scream came from behind. It seemed to be Junior Brother Yan's voice … But Song Zhui didn't dare to look back because he knew that even if he did, he wouldn't be able to see anything.
When he arrived in front of the mine tunnel, Song Zhui discovered that there were many people who had the same idea as him. At this time, many cultivators had already arrived at the collapsed mine tunnel and were trying to clear out the rubble. However, the crowd was too crowded and everyone was fleeing. There wasn't an effective organization, so they weren't able to clear out much of the tunnel. Instead, many Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators were fighting each other as they rushed into the tunnel.
In the poisonous fog, Lu Ye was still hunting.
The dried blood on his clothes became sticky and wet again.
The screams and cries of the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators came from all directions … A large number of them died from their own injuries.
At this time, outside the mine tunnel, some Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who had heard the news gathered. These people received the news a little late, so they arrived a little late, so there weren't many of them.
By the time they arrived, most of the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators had already entered the mine tunnel. The mine tunnel had also collapsed by two miles due to Yiyi's actions.
Now, these cultivators stood at the entrance of the mine tunnel, listening attentively, their expressions changing.
A Cloud River Tier cultivator's sense of hearing was still very sharp, especially in an environment like a mine. Even the slightest sound would often be magnified. Thus, even if they were several kilometers away, they would still be able to faintly hear some strange sounds.
"Why are there so many screams coming from inside?" Some cultivators wondered if they had heard wrongly. "Did you hear that?"
Two thousand Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators had rushed into the mine to kill Lu Yiye. The battle should be over soon, but why were there endless screams coming from inside?
Judging from these sounds, it seemed that a fierce battle had broken out inside.
"There are indeed screams." Someone nodded in agreement, indicating that he had also heard the screams. He guessed, "Could it be that Lu Yiye has some helpers inside?"
If that was the case, those screams should be coming from Lu Yiye and his helpers. At this moment, they must be surrounded by the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators.
Senior Brother Qin's team was also listening at the entrance of the mine. They looked at each other with solemn expressions.
They didn't know whether Lu Yiye had helpers inside or not, but they knew that this matter was completely different from what they had expected. Coupled with Ghost Shadow's previous warning, everyone's hearts were heavy, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.
These unimaginable thoughts appeared in their hearts, but they were quickly extinguished. They instinctively felt that such a thing was impossible.
But … what if it was really happening?
That would undoubtedly correspond to Ghost Shadow's warning. They didn't rush in with the crowd, which was equivalent to saving their lives.
At this moment, two streams of light quickly flew over from not far away. The powerful aura they emitted was clearly something that only Ninth Order cultivators could possess.
They landed at the entrance of the mine and revealed two figures. They were two men.
If Lu Ye was here, he would definitely recognize these two as Xia Liang and Tan Sheng.
After the Holy Eaves Spirit Earth Fire Prairie was killed, these two left Returning Heaven Valley early because Xia Liang concluded that Lu Ye and the others would definitely use the Heaven's Fate Pillar to escape back to the Nine States after encountering an unresolvable crisis, so they didn't stay to waste time.
They originally planned to wait until a month later, when Lu Ye entered the Cloud River Battlefield again to find a way to find out his whereabouts.
But they didn't expect that things would develop completely differently from what Xia Liang had expected …
Lu Ye didn't escape back to the Nine States. Instead, he made a deal with the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators besieging Returning Heaven Valley. After that, he hid in the dark and attacked the invaders in Great Mang Mountain.
In the end, his whereabouts were exposed here and he was blocked in the mine by the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators.
Xia Liang and Tan Sheng were originally far away from this area, but after receiving the news, they hurriedly rushed over and finally arrived.
Sweeping his gaze, Xia Liang asked, "Is Lu Yiye inside?"
A cultivator nodded, "I heard that he is inside."
"What's the situation now?"
The cultivator shook his head, "We just arrived, so we're not too sure."
"Is there anything you know?" Tan Sheng asked from the side.
Senior Brother Qin thought for a moment and stepped forward, saying, "Half a day ago, nearly 2,000 Fellow Daoists charged in under the lead of Senior Brother Song Zhui and the others from Deep Rainbow Hall. But for some reason, the mine suddenly collapsed. Now, the people inside are trapped, and the people outside can't enter. Also … it seems that a very fierce battle broke out inside, and many people died."
While Senior Brother Qin was saying this, Xia Liang and Tan Sheng also heard faint screams coming from the depths of the mine.
The two of them couldn't help but feel strange. Xia Liang frowned, "How many people are there with Lu Yiye?"
Senior Brother Qin said, "It's said that he's alone. I'm not sure if it's true or not."
It was very difficult to get any useful information from here. Xia Liang and Tan Sheng looked at each other and flashed into the mine.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed.
Only Senior Brother Qin's team was still standing outside, unmoved.
They didn't follow the crowd before, and it was too late to go in now. Moreover, with Ghost Shadow's warning and the various changes, they didn't dare to rashly go in.
The reason why they stayed here was mainly to see what the final result of this matter would be.
However, in the eyes of Senior Brother Qin and the others, no matter what the result was, Lu Yiye would undoubtedly die. In such a situation, there was no way he could survive.
In the mine tunnel, Xia Liang and Tan Sheng hurried for less than two miles before the road ahead was blocked. At this point, the screams and cries of pain became even clearer.
Something was wrong!
Judging from the sounds, the battle that broke out inside was clearly very fierce. If Lu Yiye was alone, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
Could it be that he had many people in ambush and was currently fighting with the people of Myriad Devil Ridge? (To be continued)
