The starry sky was quiet. On a desolate star that wasn't big, a few streams of light suddenly shot out one after another. Their speed was shocking, yet they seemed to be panicking.
Among these people, one of them was full of vitality and had a majestic figure. Another one was full of dense sword qi and sword intent. There was also a beautiful woman with long sleeves. There was also a short man who was covering his buttocks with his hand as he fled. Blood was faintly flowing from the gaps between his fingers.
The four of them were all at the early-stage Constellation Realm. Looking at this formation, it was obvious that they were a combination of a body cultivator, sword cultivator, and spell cultivator. This was a very common and practical combination that could deal with most of the sudden situations in the starry sky.
However, looking at the four of them now, it was obvious that they had encountered an unsolvable problem and were fleeing in panic.
The four of them had just shot out from the desolate star when a large group of rabbit-like star beasts chased after them. These rabbit-like star beasts looked like rabbits, but their heads were obviously much bigger than ordinary rabbits. What was even more terrifying was that these star beasts' eyes were all red, and their buckteeth were extremely sharp as they flickered with a cold light.
The star beasts' strength varied from True Lake to Constellation Realm. However, there were simply too many of them, and there were even two or three beasts that were comparable to late-stage Constellation Realm beasts. How could the four of them fight against them?
As they fled, that ghost cultivator wailed, "Meng Jie, you old fool, you're a body cultivator, yet you're letting me do it. Are you even human?"
Just now, he was slightly slower and was bitten, and a piece of flesh was torn off from his buttocks …
As he spoke, a late-stage Constellation Constellation Star Beast in the beast horde suddenly burst forth and pounced behind this ghost cultivator like a flash of lightning. It opened its bloody mouth and bit down on him.
The ghost cultivator was scared witless and screamed. Seeing that he couldn't dodge this bite, a shocking sword gleam suddenly slashed down and slashed towards the star beast's head.
However, the star beast didn't seem to feel anything. It allowed the sword gleam to slash its head, and only a shallow flesh wound appeared on its head. This scene made the attacking sword cultivator's expression turn cold. The sword cultivator's faction had always been known for their violent killing. It could be said that they had the strongest killing power among all the cultivators. Although this sword gleam was hurried, it only caused a flesh wound to the star beast. This showed how hard the star beast's bones were. Of course, the more important thing was the difference in strength.
Seeing that the star beast was about to bite that ghost cultivator, a ribbon suddenly rolled out from the sky like a snake and rolled the star beast into a dumpling.
However, in the next moment, this ribbon suddenly shattered.
However, this momentary delay allowed the Physique Cultivator to arrive and punch the Star Beast's head fiercely. The punch was silent, but a violent force wrapped in Qi and blood erupted. Even though the Star Beast was comparable to a Late Stage expert, it was still shaken and forced to take a few steps back.
"Let's go!" Meng Jie growled. The speed of the ghostly cultivator did not decrease at all.
After forcing the star beast to retreat, Meng Jie hurriedly turned and fled. The tip of his fist was dripping with blood.
The four figures were being chased by a group of star beasts. They fought and ran at the same time. Originally, they thought that as long as they ran for a distance, they would be safe. They had encountered many star beasts over the years and had roughly grasped the temperament of many star beasts. Generally speaking, star beasts were not very patient. After a long time, they would give up.
However, it was obviously a little different this time. This group of star beasts actually kept chasing them. Just when the four of them didn't know what to do, the ghost cultivator who was rushing at the front had sharp eyes and exclaimed, "There's someone in front!"
Because there was a flowing light far in front of them. However, because it was too far away, he couldn't see who it was.
However, to appear in this position at such a time, it was undoubtedly a cultivator from this realm.
A sword chime suddenly rang out. It was very clear and melodious. Even in the starry sky, the sound could be heard for thousands of miles. That was the sword cultivator's warning. At such a long distance and in the starry sky, the other party definitely couldn't hear him. He could only use this method to warn the other party to leave.
However, what surprised the four of them was that when the sword chime rang out, not only did the other party not escape, but he also increased his speed and approached them.
The ghost cultivator was furious. "Which bastard is so blind? Why don't you run? What are you doing here?!"
As he cursed, the ghost cultivator's expression turned into one of shock again. This was because the speed of the other party seemed to be a little too fast. It was far beyond the speed of an early-stage Constellation Realm cultivator.
In just a dozen breaths, the flowing light was already not far ahead.
"A star boat!" Only then did the four of them see the true form of the flowing light. It wasn't the spiritual light of a cultivator activating his spiritual power, but the light of a star boat.
At this moment, on the star boat, a young man stood tall and straight at the bow. He was dressed in clean clothes and had a long saber at his waist. He was looking at them with a smile.
"Junior Brother Lu!" The beautiful eyes of the female dharma cultivator lit up. She couldn't believe that she would meet Lu Ye here.
"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, it's been a few years since we last met. How have you been?" Lu Ye greeted them with a smile. He was back. This time, he was really back.
Even when he entered the territory of the Jade Conch Galaxy, Lu Ye didn't feel that he was really home. The galaxy was too big and the place that belonged to him was very small. It wasn't until he saw these four familiar faces that he truly felt home.
It had been almost two months since they set off from the Qing Li Dao World, and this was the result of Lu Ye driving the star boat with all his might.
Back then, he had once used the Soul Control Divine Rune on a cultivator from the Qing Li Dao World. From the cultivator's mind, he had pried a lot of information about the Qing Li Dao World, including the route from the Qing Li Dao World to the Wushuang Continent. Therefore, when he left the Qing Li Dao World, he followed the original route and rushed to the Wushuang Continent.
Now that he was not far from the Wushuang Continent, Lu Ye had been searching for the whereabouts of the cultivators of the Nine States. As expected, he found some movements here. He went forward to investigate and immediately saw some familiar faces.
Meng Jie, Jian Guhong, Yue Ji, and Wu Chang were the four top experts under Eldest Senior Brother's command.
However, he didn't know how they had provoked this group of beasts. It seemed that they were being hunted. The other three were fine, but Wu Chang covered his buttocks with his hands and blood flowed out. It seemed that he was injured.
"Do you need help?" Lu Ye asked with a smile.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Wu Chang quickly jumped into the star boat, and the other three followed closely behind. "Run!"
They were all familiar with the star boat. When Lu Ye left, he left behind a silver fish. Now, it was in the Nine States Guardian Palace. The weapon refiners of the Nine States had been studying it carefully in the past few years, trying to see if they could refine a star boat so that the cultivators of the constellations could travel in the starry sky. Unfortunately, there was little progress. It was not that the weapon refiners were not skilled enough, but it was mainly a problem with the materials. As a new large domain, it was not easy to find materials that could satisfy the needs of the constellations. If there was no external help, it would take a long time to accumulate and evolve.
Therefore, until now, there was only one star boat in the entire Nine States.
The four of them were not as fast as the star beasts, but they knew the speed of the star boat. As soon as they landed on the star boat, they felt relieved.
However, the star boat showed no signs of moving. Wu Chang's face turned pale when he saw the group of beasts rapidly approaching. He urged, "Run, Yi Ye!"
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't control the star boat, he would have steered it himself.
Lu Ye looked at the group of star beasts that were chasing them. He looked at the one with the strongest aura and said with a smile, "No need!"
After saying that, he jumped out of the star boat and pressed his hand on the hilt of the Mountain Pan Saber.
Meng Jie and the others were stunned. They didn't know what Lu Ye was going to do. However, it seemed that he was going to fight the group of beasts alone.
The group of beasts came at an incredible speed, especially the one with the largest body. It pounced on Lu Ye almost as soon as he jumped out of the star boat. The star beast's eyes were as red as blood, and its mouth was wide open. Its buck teeth were as sharp as swords.
The sound of metal clanging suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of saber humming.
The astonishment on the faces of Meng Jie and the others instantly turned into astonishment because they finally sensed Lu Ye's cultivation level the moment he made his move.
Late-stage Constellation Realm!
It wouldn't be a big deal if that was all. However, what shocked them even more was that the saber light was as boundless as the sea as it rolled forward.
What they saw seemed to be waves formed by the saber light, each stronger than the last. What they heard was also the sound of waves rising and falling.
Before the blood-red and ferocious eyes of the leading star beast, which was at the late-stage Constellation Realm, faded away, it suddenly turned into minced corpses that filled the sky.
The waves of saber light swept forward and drowned the group of beasts that were charging at them. At this moment, the aura of countless lives began to wither.
In just three breaths of time, the waterfall of blades suddenly disappeared. Lu Ye's figure stood still as he slowly sheathed his blade. There was not a single living creature in front of him. All the star beasts that had chased after him had been completely wiped out in these three breaths of time. Not a single one remained.
The expressions of Meng Jie and the others froze as they stared at the bloodied corpses. It was as if they were dreaming.
Even Li Shang, who had been by Lu Ye's side for the past few years, was amazed. She could feel that Lu Ye's strength had grown stronger over the past few years. She was also at the late-stage Constellation Realm, but compared to Lu Ye, she was nothing.
She didn't know much because the Soul Race rarely showed themselves in the crowd. So, she couldn't figure out whether it was because many of the Constellation Realm cultivators were like this, or Lu Ye was the only one.
Lu Ye returned to the Star Boat and saw that Meng Jie and the others were staring at him. Even Wu Chang had forgotten about the pain of his injuries.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They still didn't say anything.
After a long while, Yue Ji said hesitantly, "Are you … really Lu Yiye?"
"Of course I am!" Lu Ye puffed out his chest.
"I don't believe it!" Yue Yao shook her head. "You're not Lu Yiye. Tell me, what kind of monster are you?"
Wu Chang also nodded and said, "That's right. Although that brat Yiye is strong, he shouldn't be this strong after not seeing you for a few years. You must be someone else in disguise."
Lu Ye smiled and said, "Then how do you want me to prove myself?" He could tell that Yue Ji and Wu Chang didn't really suspect him. It was just that the scene just now was too unbelievable. They probably needed some time to digest it.
