Seeing Lu Ye rushing towards him, the spell cultivator no longer cared about Hua Ci. The golden light in his hand changed direction and blasted towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye's figure flickered as he dashed forward. It looked like he was barely dodging his opponent's Techniques, but he was actually doing it with ease.
His eyesight could see the traces of the Techniques that were as fast as the wind, and his movements could follow the instructions given by his mind. As a result, unless it was a Technique that covered a large area or was extremely fast, it would be very difficult to hit him.
After three breaths, the spell cultivator's eyes were filled with shock. That was because the guy rushing towards him had perfectly dodged every one of his Techniques!
He hurriedly retreated, and at the same time, his Spirit Energy surged wildly. A large mass of golden light quickly gathered in front of his chest. From the looks of it, he seemed to be about to cast a powerful Technique.
At that moment, a jade-green arrow-like attack came from the side. The spell cultivator's attention was completely focused on Lu Ye, so he was completely unprepared for this attack. He was hit so hard that he staggered, and the hastily gathered spiritual energy dissipated.
Hua Ci had made her move.
She was a medical cultivator, but that didn't mean she didn't have the ability to fight. As a rogue cultivator, if she didn't have the ability to fight, she would have died long ago.
While she was a medical cultivator, she was also a spell cultivator. However, she didn't know many Techniques, so they weren't very powerful.
This dark-green Technique didn't have much killing power, but its effect was very obvious.
The Seventh-Order spell cultivator's Technique was interrupted. Seeing that Lu Ye was already in front of him, he could only urge the golden light from before to bombard Lu Ye again.
Lu Ye's figure flickered, and he easily dodged the attack. The Mountain Coiling Saber slashed down, and a dazzling saber light flashed.
The golden light condensed on the spell cultivator's body shattered, and a scream rang out. A huge wound appeared on his chest, and he staggered back.
Lu Ye was like a maggot in a tarsal bone. He followed closely and stabbed forward. Under the enhancement of the Sharpness Spirit Inscription, the originally heavy saber light became sharp.
The saber pierced through the heart and came out from the back.
The cultivator raised his hand and gripped the blade. His eyes were filled with disbelief. At this moment, he finally understood that his companion had died not because of carelessness, but because the enemy was too strong.
Lu Ye pulled out his blade, and a few severed limbs flew up along with blood. The spell cultivator's body swayed on the spot and fell to the ground. A large amount of blood gushed out from his body. His eyes were wide open, and he died with remaining grievances.
When Lu Ye got close enough, with just two slashes, a Seventh-Order Dharma Cultivator was killed. This was much easier than killing a Weapon Cultivator, but it was not easy to kill an Dharma Cultivator. At the same level of cultivation, it was very difficult for a Weapon Cultivator to get close to an Dharma Cultivator. Lu Ye had suffered such a loss when his cultivation was not high.
But now, it was almost impossible for a spell cultivator of the same level to hurt him. Once he got close to them, they wouldn't have a good ending.
Two red lights flew out one after another and landed on the back of Lu Ye's hand.
Looking down, he found that his merit points had increased by twenty-eight points. There were also some other things in his mark. Carefully examining them, he found that they were the blessings of the Heaven's Fate Pillar.
Every Sect that entered this place had a five hundred merit points as a bargaining chip. Killing them would allow Lu Ye to take this bargaining chip. As long as Lu Ye could return to the Blue Blood Sect alive, he could choose to place these blessings in his own Heaven's Fate Pillar to increase the aura of his base. Alternatively, he could exchange them for a corresponding number of Sect merit points.
Sect merit points were different from individual merit points, but the two could be exchanged to a certain extent.
Therefore, over the years, every Spirit Stream Garrison Battle was a grand event for all the Sects of the Nine States. Because of the balance of the Heaven's Fate Pillar, both large and small Sects were keen to participate in such a grand event.
"Are you okay?" Lu Ye turned his head to look at Hua Ci. There were no obvious external injuries, but her face was covered in dust.
Hua Ci shook her head. Although her cultivation was lower than the Seventh-Order Dharma Cultivator, it would not be easy for him to kill her. The Spirit Artifact that her Second Senior Sister had given her had greatly increased her defensive power.
Together, they collected their spoils of war and began to investigate the surrounding terrain.
A moment later, the two of them stood at the highest point and looked around. They found that this was a small island. The area was not big, only about the size of a square. The vegetation on the island was very dense, but it was surrounded by seawater in all directions.
In such a narrow terrain, it was impossible for anyone else to hide. In other words, other than them, there were only the two Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who had been killed earlier.
The aura on the island was rich, almost the same as in the wilderness of the Spirit Stream Battlefield. It was convenient to cultivate and recover after a battle.
"The Chess Sea!" Lu Ye exhaled lightly and confirmed the location of this Spirit Stream Garrison Battle.
The small spaces in every Spirit Stream Garrison Battle were different. According to the incomplete statistics of the various Sects of the Nine States, there were as many as thirty-four kinds of small spaces that had appeared in the Spirit Stream Garrison Battle. There were forests, deserts, swamps, plains, and even seas.
The Chess Sea was one of the most famous small spaces. This was because there were small islands scattered all over the vast sea, just like chess pieces.
The key was that these small islands were not fixed. They were constantly floating in the sea. As time passed, they would constantly merge with other small islands. Eventually, the small islands would become medium islands, and the medium islands would become large islands.
In the end, all the islands would merge into one place, turning into a continent.
This was an extremely mysterious place, but it was not a friendly place for the cultivators participating in the Spirit Stream Garrison Battle.
If it were any other terrain, the cultivators who were unable to fight could choose to escape to the periphery, find a suitable place to hide, and wait for the Spirit Stream Garrison Battle to end.
However, the Chess Sea was different. As the small islands continued to merge, it was destined that the cultivators of different camps would clash and kill each other.
Moreover, the Chess Sea contained all kinds of dangers, among which were ferocious and huge sea monsters. Therefore, hiding in the sea was not advisable.
Moreover, before the small islands were completely merged, they could not take the risk of flying. That was because flying over the sea would consume an extremely large amount of Spirit Energy. It was possible that they would run out of Spirit Energy before they could fly too far.
Therefore, in the Chess Sea, even the Garrison Envoys from the Core Circle could not take the initiative to attack. Everyone could only obediently wait for the small islands to merge with the others.
If the casualty rate of the Spirit Stream Garrison Battle were to be ranked according to the different small spaces, the Chess Sea would definitely be in the top three.
Lu Ye did not know what other cultivators would think after knowing that this place was the Chess Sea, but when he and Hua Ci looked at each other, they could see the joy in each other's eyes.
"I'm going to plant some mushrooms," Hua Ci said as she walked towards the center of the small island with a happy expression.
Since he was going to participate in the Spirit Stream Garrison Battle together with Hua Ci, they naturally had some understanding of each other. They were also clear about each other's killing and self-defense methods.
Hua Ci did not have many killing methods, and it was very difficult for her to kill a strong enemy in a very short period of time like Lu Ye. However, if she was given enough time and space to arrange things, she would be able to display a strength far beyond the Sixth Order.
Planting mushrooms was her most powerful method.
Previously in Ying Mountain, Hua Ci had unknowingly planted mushrooms in the cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge. If Lu Ye had arrived a few days later, Hua Ci would have had the ability to kill the three cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge by herself. Moreover, she would have been able to kill them without them knowing.
However, because of Lu Ye's arrival, Hua Ci could only hastily activate an incomplete method. Even so, it was enough to throw the Seventh Order cultivator's mind into chaos.
After learning about Hua Ci's ability, Lu Ye was secretly shocked. Who would have thought that a medical cultivator whose duty was to heal the wounded and heal the dying would actually have such a strange method?
This also gave him a new understanding of medical cultivators, especially medical cultivators who grew up in the wild like Hua Ci. They might look gentle and kind on the surface, but in fact, they might have the ability to wipe out entire cities and destroy entire nations.
It could be said that the small space of the Chess Sea was extremely friendly to cultivators like Hua Ci. It was also the most suitable place for her to display her abilities.
This was Lu Ye's luck. Before coming in, he did not know that the Spirit Stream Garrison Battle would be held in the Chess Sea.
Hua Ci was busy. Not only was she planting mushrooms, but she was also collecting medicinal herbs.
The World Energy in the Chess Sea was extremely dense, suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs. Even if the cultivators did not kill their enemies, collecting medicinal herbs here would still be a source of income.
Lu Ye stood guard at the side. The island was only so big that he could see the end of it at a glance, so it was not difficult for him to be on guard.
However, he could indeed sense that the island was drifting towards a certain direction at a fast speed. He was very curious as to how the island was floating on the sea. This thing was not a ship, so it could not be empty underneath.
Suddenly, the Battlefield Imprint reacted. Lu Ye checked it and found that it was a message from his Fourth Senior Brother, Li Baxian. As the Vice Protector of Pill Heart Sect, Li Baxian had naturally come to participate in the Spirit Stream Garrison Battle. He was also in the Chess Sea, but he was definitely at the very center.
In the message, Li Baxian told him all kinds of information about the Chess Sea. At the end, he warned, "Little Junior Brother, do what you can. Do not try to be brave."
Lu Ye replied and thanked him.
Hua Ci had already made the necessary arrangements. Since he had nothing to do, Lu Ye simply switched to his Secret Art and began to cultivate.
There would not be any danger here before it merged with the other islands.
Two hours later, Hua Ci suddenly called out to him.
Lu Ye stopped cultivating and rushed to the highest point. Standing next to Hua Ci, he followed her gaze and saw a small black dot moving towards them.
The other island was drifting over. Or rather, the two islands were attracting each other and moving closer to each other.
They were still quite far away, so he could not see the situation clearly for the time being. He also did not know if there were any enemies there.
The sea breeze whistled, filling his nose and mouth with a fishy and salty smell.
Lu Ye silently estimated that at this speed, the two islands would collide in less than an hour.
After some thought, Lu Ye put away the Mountain Pan Saber strapped to his waist into his storage pouch and stood next to Hua Ci.
When the distance between the two islands reached a certain point, they suddenly sped up, as if there was some attraction between them.
At this distance, Lu Ye could also see the situation on the other island. There were also two people standing on a high point, looking in his direction.
