"You can take your time to think about it, but my patience is limited by Zhao Tianmu's thoughts. Lu Ye's calm voice rang out again. Zhao Tianmu looked up and saw that Lu Ye's right hand had rested on the hilt of his saber, his thumb gently stroking it. He looked like he would draw his saber at any moment.
Beside Lu Ye, the woman's body trembled uncontrollably. Blood dripped from her severed arm, staining the ground red.
Zhao Tianmu immediately understood that he had been too naive.
He had deduced that these Star Constellations came from a newly ascended large realm, so they couldn't possibly have much experience. With so many hostages in hand, he could easily deal with them, but he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless and decisive.
If it was a Yue Yao who had tempered her body to the extreme, she could pay a price to regrow her severed arm. However, for an early-stage Star Constellation Realm cultivator, this kind of injury couldn't be healed. Even if she ascended to Yue Yao in the future, she still wouldn't be able to make up for it. This was because the severed arm was lost before she ascended to Yue Yao.
Now that his junior sister had already lost an arm, her future cultivation would be greatly affected. If she lost another arm, her future would be bleak.
Seeing how ruthless this young man called Li Taibai was, Zhao Tianmu knew that he would definitely do something like this. On the other hand, even if he killed these True Lake and Spirit Sea cultivators, what good would it do?
"I agree to your proposal!" Zhao Tianmu wasn't a long-winded person. Since he understood the crux of the matter, he immediately agreed. Then, he changed the topic. "However, I have a request."
Lu Ye nodded. "We can talk!"
"I want to take this away!"
Zhao Tianmu pointed at the Star Constellation Realm cultivator who had fallen to the ground. Although she didn't have the ability to regrow her severed arm, she could still find a way to reattach it.
Lu Ye looked down, then turned to Nian Yue Xian and winked.
Nian Yue Xian raised her foot, and the severed arm flew toward Zhao Tianmu. Zhao Tianmu caught it.
"Let her go!" Lu Ye said.
Zhao Tianmu's face darkened. He released the Chaotian Sect Divine Ocean cultivator and slowly retreated. Soon, he retreated to the back of the crowd.
Only then did the many True Lake and God Ocean Realms that were captured by him walk towards Lu Ye. Lu Ye raised his hand and pushed the one-armed woman who was bound by the Immortal Binding Rope.
The exchange of hostages went very smoothly because both Lu Ye and Zhao Tianmu knew that neither of them would easily make a move during this process.
The Nine Prefectures had their concerns. More than ten True Lakes and Spirit Seas had been sealed, and their spiritual energy had been sealed. If they were to attack, not to mention whether they could do anything to Zhao Tianmu, just the aftermath of the battle would be enough to consign these True Lakes and Spirit Seas to eternal damnation.
Zhao Tianmu also wouldn't make a move. He was more eager than the people of the Nine Regions to successfully exchange hostages.
Both sides had a tacit understanding, so naturally, everything went smoothly.
A short while later, the one-armed woman arrived in front of Zhao Tianmu. Zhao Tianmu grabbed her undamaged arm, madly channeled his spiritual energy, and soared into the sky.
At the same time, he raised his hand and threw down a round bead that he had prepared beforehand.
Intense spiritual energy surged out.
Almost at the same time that the bead appeared, the mansions of the Nine Prefectures began to move.
The tacit understanding between both sides wasn't only reflected in the safe exchange of hostages. Everyone knew that after the exchange of hostages, no one would be easily reconciled. The mansions of the Nine Prefectures were already prepared for battle, and so was Zhao Tianmu.
If he was alone, there was nothing to be afraid of. Just as he said before, a group of early stage mansions was nothing in his eyes.
However, he now had a companion who was bound by the Immortal Binding Rope. Before helping his companion untie the rope, how could he dare to confront the mansions of the Nine Prefectures?
He had only used the round spiritual treasure to restrain them. It wouldn't take long for him to leave this place safely with his companions. Once he freed his companions from their restraints, wouldn't he be able to move freely in this vast territory?
First, he would kill all the mansions, then slaughter all the living beings in this world to vent his anger.
The round bead spirit treasure was a type of rare treasure that could only be used once. Sealed within it were long needles that were as thin as cow hair. Once activated, each of them had the power of an early stage mansions' full-force attack, and their power was extraordinary.
The moment the round bead spirit treasure exploded, hundreds of rays of light shot out in all directions.
The people of the Nine Prefectures had no choice but to use their methods to resist.
Lu Ye and Thought Moon Immortal madly urged their spiritual energy, not daring to miss any attack. Behind them were the rescued True Lake and Spirit Ocean Immortal, and they couldn't resist such an attack.
The chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations calmed down, and the round bead spirit treasure's power was exhausted. The people of the Nine Prefectures were unharmed, and their figures had already soared into the sky, chasing after Zhao Tianmu.
Lu Ye took the lead and rushed to the front, his cold gaze reflecting the enemy's figure.
He absolutely couldn't let Zhao Tianmu escape, or else there would be no end of trouble!
However, due to the difference in their cultivations, there was a difference in their flying speed.
The flying speed of late stage mansions was much faster than early stage mansions.
Since Zhao Tianmu flew out with the one-armed woman, it had only been three breaths of time, and they had already rushed into the starry sky.
Once they entered the starry sky, it would be even more difficult to chase after them, because Zhao Tianmu's speed in the starry sky was definitely not something that early stage mansions could compare with. Even Lu Ye might not be able to match him.
Perhaps feeling that they were out of danger, the one-armed woman whose arm was grabbed by Zhao Tianmu turned her head and saw Lu Ye's figure chasing after them.
Her seemingly delicate face revealed an incomparably resentful expression, and her spiritual energy was urged, and a sharp voice came out, "You dare cut off my arm, I will kill your whole family!"
Lu Ye turned a deaf ear to her. At this moment, his speed had already exceeded his own speed in the starry sky. In such a state, if there were any obstacles in front of him, he would not be able to avoid them.
However, since he wanted to chase after a strong enemy, he couldn't care too much about it. But since he wanted to chase after a strong enemy, he couldn't care too much about it. Moreover, Zhao Tianmu was clearing the way ahead, so if there were any obstacles, Zhao Tianmu would be the first to hit them, so the possibility of hitting an obstacle was not high.
Just as he was thinking this, a beam of light suddenly came from the front. It was Zhao Tianmu raising his hand to cast a spell.
Lu Ye cursed inwardly. He only thought that with someone clearing the way ahead, he wouldn't hit any obstacles, but he forgot that his opponent could attack.
There was a difference in their cultivations, and his opponent's attacks were like dragons. Under such speed, Lu Ye had no time to change direction, and could only hurriedly slash forward.
Lu Ye's figure paused, and his speed greatly decreased. Even his saber-wielding right arm felt slightly numb.
With this delay, the distance between them and Zhao Tianmu grew even further. In the next instant, Feng Wujiang and the others passed by him, but their speed was not as fast as Lu Ye's. In the next instant, Feng Wujiang and the others passed by him, but their speed was not as fast as Lu Ye's. How could they catch up to Zhao Tianmu, who was at the late stage of the Constellation Realm?
If this situation continued, Zhao Tianmu would definitely take the one-armed woman and escape far away. He would help her undo the Immortal Binding Rope's bindings, then come back to find trouble.
He couldn't wait any longer. Originally, he had left a backup plan on the one-armed woman to launch a more unexpected attack, but if he didn't use it now, he could only watch as the enemy escaped.
The most important thing now was to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Holding the Mountain Pan Saber tightly, his gaze locked onto Zhao Tianmu's fleeing figure in the distance. Spiritual energy surged around him, and a profound spirit pattern quickly formed under his feet.
When he reappeared, he was already behind the one-armed woman!
The one-armed woman was still shouting and cursing, the hatred and viciousness in her eyes almost flowing out. Suddenly, she saw Lu Ye's figure, and her eyes widened. She almost thought she was seeing things.
It wasn't until the sudden surge of spiritual energy and the incomparably sharp saber light swept over that she understood. This young man who had severed her arm, whom she bore a grudge against, and who had said he would kill her entire family, had actually chased after her.
But … how did he do it? Only then did he understand that his figure was blocked, and he had been left far behind.
Not only did she not understand, but Zhao Tianmu also didn't understand. As a late stage Constellation Realm cultivator, being chased by a group of early stage cultivators was undoubtedly a very annoying thing.
But first, he had to ensure the safety of his Junior Sister, so he could only escape first. Just as Lu Ye thought, he planned to shake off the pursuers behind him, undo his Junior Sister's Immortal Binding Rope, and then turn back to find Ma Shi of the Nine Regions Constellation Realm. Gong Kuanggong's sudden attack made his expression change, and he hurriedly urged his spiritual energy to protect himself.
As Lu Ye's saber chopped down, Zhao Tianmu's expression changed again, because he was shocked to find that the opponent's attack was incomparably sharp. The spiritual energy he hurriedly urged to protect himself was actually almost broken by the other's saber!
At the same time, he secretly broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time, two top-grade spirit treasures simultaneously summoned a large bell to protect himself. An arrow pierced through, heading straight for Lu Ye's face. At the same time, he urged his spiritual energy, and raised his hand to blast a spell at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye could tell at a glance that this Zhao Tianmu was walking the path of a spell cultivator.
To him, this was undoubtedly good news. As a weapon cultivator, in such close combat against a spell cultivator, he would undoubtedly have some advantages.
But the power of the opponent's spirit treasure couldn't be underestimated. The large bell's defense was extremely tough, and even the Mountain Pan Saber with the Divine Edge would find it difficult to break through. The arrow spirit treasure was even more agile, shuttling back and forth. Mixed with Zhao Tianmu's spell from time to time, Lu Ye actually couldn't do anything to him for a while.
The opponent's battle experience was undoubtedly very rich, and he was able to remain calm in the face of danger.
This was the second time Lu Ye fought alone with a late stage Constellation Realm cultivator, but this battle couldn't be compared to the battle in the Black Abyss.
In the Black Abyss, his final confrontation with Duan Xiuchen didn't have any fancy moves, it was just a head-on clash, so he was able to quickly deal with the opponent. Bing or QQ browser searched for the Three Excellencies plus book titles every day.
But a real battle wouldn't be like that, but like the one before him, it tested the cultivator's foundation and adaptability.
Lu Ye attacked for a long time without success, and was even almost hit by Zhao Tianmu's attacks several times.
And the more Zhao Tianmu fought, the more apprehensive he became.
Ever since he came into contact with the Nine Prefectures' Constellation Realm cultivators, he looked down on this group of people, thinking that with his strength, he could easily crush them one on one.
But after fighting with Lu Ye, he discovered that although this Li Taibai's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Constellation Realm, he definitely had the strength of a late stage Constellation Realm cultivator. In a one on one battle, he had no confidence in winning.
