With a good opportunity in front of him, Lu Ye rushed in front of Dong Shuye in a few steps and slashed down with his long blade covered in Spiritual Energy.
At the same time as the long blade fell, a strong pushing force came from Dong Shuye's side. Dong Shuye didn't know what kind of spell Dong Shuye had used, but in front of the repulsive force, Lu Ye was pushed back more than ten meters before he could stop himself.
Looking up again, Dong Shuye had already climbed up and raised his hand to cover his chest. A huge wound was clearly visible on the right side of his chest, and blood was gushing out, instantly dyeing his clothes red.
His face was full of horror because just now, Lu Ye had almost killed him with his blade. In the moment when his Spiritual Energy was in chaos, he had no power to resist at all. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he regained control of his body.
Although he was lucky not to die, such an injury was extremely serious.
"Ha …" Dong Shuye's figure staggered. At this time, he finally understood why Lu Ye had led him here and blocked the exit. This was not a place Lu Ye had chosen for himself, but for him.
It was ridiculous that he had always thought that he could kill the other party with his own strength, but he didn't know that arrogance was the source of his failure.
The enemy rushed towards him again, not intending to give him any time to catch his breath, just like what he had done just now. Moreover, in comparison, this enemy was more straightforward and ruthless in battle, extremely aggressive, because from the beginning until now, he had not said a single word, only constantly looking for opportunities to rush forward and then brandish his blade.
Was this what a life and death battle should be like?
Looking at Lu Ye who was quickly approaching, Dong Shuye took out a Golden Body Talisman from his Storage Bag and slapped it on his body. Although he knew that this time, he was not willing to wait for death.
With the Golden Body Talisman protecting his body, he raised his hands and, regardless of the crazy consumption of his Spiritual Energy, cast a series of spells.
However, both of his arms were injured, and his right chest was almost cut open. The large amount of blood loss in a short period of time made him dizzy, and even his breathing was not smooth. In this state, the speed of his spellcasting was much slower than when he first started.
Amidst the attacks, Lu Ye rushed forward and slashed down with his blade.
The golden light shattered. Even though Dong Shuye had activated a spiritual barrier at the same time as the golden light shattered, it still couldn't completely block this fierce blade.
This cut started from his right shoulder and stopped at his lower left abdomen, almost cutting his stomach open.
Without waiting for Dong Shuye to use any more techniques, Lu Ye had already swung his blade a second time, and the powerful resistance once again swept out, pushing him several meters away.
By the time he regained his footing, Dong Shuye was already floating in mid-air, his Spiritual Qi boiling and burning. However, having learned a lesson from the previous incident, he wouldn't just stay in place. Under Lu Ye's gaze, he was floating in the air at the speed of a jog.
Lu Ye raised his hand, and a fat bird flapped its wings and flew up, but it missed. Accuracy was always a problem, and this was also the reason why Lu Ye didn't use his spells to fight.
The reason why Dong Shuye was able to hit Lu Ye the first time was mainly because he didn't expect Lu Ye to be able to cast spells. Moreover, Lu Ye's casting speed was fast enough that he couldn't react in time and was hit.
That could be said to be Dong Shuye's biggest mistake. The injury wasn't too serious, but the consequences of his Spiritual Qi becoming chaotic were unbearable.
Their eyes met, and Dong Shuye grinned sinisterly. He raised his hand and tapped on his own battlefield imprint. The imprint immediately glowed red. Lu Ye knew that things weren't looking good. Dong Shuye was probably going to call for help, so he immediately increased the frequency of his attacks.
After a short while, the light from the imprint on the back of Dong Shuye's hand disappeared. At the same time, the Spiritual Qi around his body suddenly dimmed, and he fell to the ground.
Lu Ye didn't understand the situation, but he quickly reacted. This guy's Spiritual Qi had been exhausted!
Dong Shuye, who was in his peak state, naturally couldn't run out of Spiritual Qi so quickly. In any case, he was a cultivator who had opened more than 108 apertures, so his Spiritual Qi reserves were twice as dense as Lu Ye's. Previously, he had consumed too much of his Spiritual Qi chasing Lu Ye. In order to prevent Lu Ye from approaching, he had continuously used his spells. No matter how large his Spiritual Qi reserves were, he couldn't withstand it.
On the other hand, Lu Ye was different. With the amber carrying him, he had always maintained a perfect state. He even came here to break through a realm.
With a bang, Dong Shuye fell to the ground, feeling as if his whole body was about to break.
Footsteps sounded from the side as Lu Ye slowly walked over with his saber. He didn't think Dong Shuye was pretending to be him. Falling from such a high place wasn't a good feeling, especially when Dong Shuye was seriously injured.
In other words, this guy had really exhausted his Spiritual Qi.
Standing in front of Dong Shuye, Lu Ye looked down at him. Dong Shuye's mouth and nose were full of blood, and his throat was gurgling. He looked at Lu Ye as if he wanted to say something.
Lu Ye raised his saber, held the hilt in reverse, aimed at his heart, and stabbed down.
Dong Shuye's body suddenly straightened.
"I'll … wait for you … on the Yellow Springs Road!" At the last moment, Dong Shuye gritted his teeth and said these words. His straightened body relaxed and he stopped breathing. His eyes were wide open.
A red light floated out and fell on the back of Lu Ye's hand.
Looking at Dong Shuye's corpse, he suddenly felt that it was too surreal.
Two and a half months ago, he was almost cornered under the pursuit of the other party. If it weren't for his good luck, he wouldn't have been able to escape that disaster. But only two and a half months later, this powerhouse he once had to look up to died under his saber.
It turned out that he was so much stronger than two and a half months ago!
And …
"I haven't used my full strength yet," Lu Ye whispered softly.
He really hadn't used his full strength. He still had the Wind Walk Spirit Talisman. If the Wind Walk Spirit Talisman could be used on Hu Po, it could also be used on him. With his current strength, if he used the Wind Walk Spirit Talisman, his speed would be at least 30% faster.
Lu Ye had originally planned to use the Wind Walk Spirit Talisman after he got used to the increased strength of his cultivation. Otherwise, if he rashly used this spirit talisman, he might not be able to control his body. If things went wrong, he might run into a wall like he had after the Dragon Spring Body Tempering.
Sometimes, it wasn't necessarily a good thing to suddenly increase one's speed too quickly, especially when facing a magic cultivator like Dong Shuye. Lu Ye could avoid the other party's spells if he had complete control over his body, but if his speed exceeded his control, he might run into a spell.
It was too scary to make such a mistake in a battle of life and death.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to use the spirit talisman in the end.
He didn't make a mistake, but Dong Shuye made a huge mistake and was knocked down by his Fire Phoenix Technique.
Yiyi popped her head out from the side, holding a spirit talisman. She cautiously asked, "Did you win?"
Lu Ye lay limp on the ground, his arms and legs spread out. "I won!"
Other than using the spirit talisman to seal the exit at the beginning, Yiyi hadn't shown herself since. Lu Ye had repeatedly warned her not to make a move rashly, and to only activate the spirit talisman when the perfect opportunity arose or when he was in danger. However, this battle had gone much smoother than Lu Ye had expected, and Yiyi hadn't had a chance to make a move.
"Lu Ye, you're really amazing." Yiyi was sincerely impressed.
Lu Ye's lips curled into a smile. "We can't stay here for too long. Feed Hu Po something to eat and rest for a while. We have to leave this place quickly."
Before Dong Shuye died, he had used the battlefield imprint to send out a message. Although Lu Ye didn't know who he had said what to, there was a high chance that he was calling for help.
Thus, they had to leave as soon as possible.
What he didn't know was that as a traitor, Dong Shuye couldn't possibly call for help from his former friends. Moreover, at that time, he had already sensed that he was going to die. Even if he had called for help, it would have been too late.
He had only sent out a message, and that message had been sent to many people!
After feeding Hu Po something to eat, Yiyi went to clean up the battlefield. Soon, she excitedly ran back with a storage pouch. "Lu Ye, Lu Ye, we're rich!"
Looking at her enthusiasm, Lu Ye knew that his harvest was not small.
Dong Shuye's storage pouch was still open because he had been taking things out of it during the battle. At that time, he hadn't had the time to lock it up.
Lu Ye was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this time, refining some Spirit Pills to restore himself while eating. At the same time, he was checking his battlefield imprint.
Name: Lu Ye.
Identity: Blue Blood Sect Disciple.
Cultivation: Sixty-three Apertures.
Location: Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Merit Points: 397.
When he left Hundred Peak Mountain, his merit points were 368. Now, he had twenty-nine more.
Thinking about it, he had killed two Fourth-Order masters in the swamp before, which was worth eight merit points. Dong Shuye alone had given him twenty-one merit points!
It seemed that although Dong Shuye's cultivation had fallen to the Sixth-Order for some reason, the merit points he received from killing him were still calculated based on his Seventh-Order cultivation.
Lu Ye had never been able to figure out one thing, and that was how Dong Shuye's cultivation had fallen.
He probably couldn't figure it out now.
There were a lot of Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills in Dong Shuye's storage pouch. After a quick count, there were a hundred and thirty-four Spirit Stones and fifty-seven Spirit Pills.
This was Lu Ye's biggest harvest, enough to make up for the damage to the Profound Spirit Bell.
However, compared to Dong Shuye's Seventh-Order cultivation, this was still a little shallow.
This was Lu Ye's misconception. He always had a lot of cultivation materials in his hands, but that was because he had been selling Yuan Magnetic Ore. Other cultivators didn't have such a foundation.
Comparatively speaking, Dong Shuye was very rich. After all, he used to be the guardian of Nine Stars Sect's encampment. The cultivation materials of his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters were distributed by him. Occasionally, he would embezzle some to fill his own pockets. That was how he had such wealth.
If it was an ordinary Seventh-Order cultivator, they definitely wouldn't have such wealth. Because cultivators needed to consume materials, the monthly allotment from the Sect couldn't be saved up.
After tidying up their spoils of war and making some minor repairs, Lu Ye and Yiyi moved away the rocks that were blocking the exit and walked out along the path they came from.
