Besieged from the front and back, the Black Cloud Fleet had nowhere to run. Furthermore, they had been severely weakened during their escape. The various pirate gangs immediately swarmed forward like fish that had smelled blood.
A great battle broke out.
By the time the Nine Heavens Star Pirate Gang arrived, the vast battlefield had already turned into a mess. Although the pirate gangs had different origins, with Thunder Light's coordination, there was not much of a problem.
Coupled with the fact that the overall strength of the Nine Heavens Star Pirate Gang was stronger than the Black Cloud Fleet, the moment the battle began, the Black Cloud Fleet fell into a disadvantageous position. The outer battleships were destroyed one after another, and the cultivators hiding in the battleships also did not have a good end. The scene was cruel and bloody.
"Boss, give the order!" Ye Hua walked in front of Lu Ye, his face full of fighting spirit. A group of pirate gang cultivators followed closely behind him, all of them rubbing their fists.
Lu Ye withdrew his gaze from the battlefield and glanced at him leisurely. "Wait a moment!"
Ye Hua stared blankly for a moment before hastily advising, "But Chief, Thunder Light has repeatedly sent messages to us, but we have ignored them all. Now that Thunder Light is monitoring the battle from the side, if we don't contribute, Thunder Light will definitely not agree!"
"So what if they don't agree?"
Ye Hua was anxious. "Thunder Light has always been unscrupulous in their actions, and now they are very dissatisfied with us. If we disobey them again, I'm afraid they will eliminate us first."
"Do they have the guts?" Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ye Hua clenched his teeth and said, "Chief, open your eyes wide and look clearly. Thunder Light Guild has already set up an offensive formation against our group. If you continue to persist in going about things the wrong way, I'm afraid that before Black Cloud is annihilated, our group will be the first to suffer."
"How dare you!" A shout came, but it did not come from Lu Ye, but from the third head of the Nine Heavens Star Pirate Gang, a Yue Yao called Zi Xiao. "Second head, how can you speak to the boss like that? The boss naturally has his own considerations. "
There were only three Yue Yao in the entire Nine Heavens Star Pirate Gang. Lu Ye was the strongest, Ye Hua was the middle Yue Yao, and this Zi Xiao was the early Yue Yao.
As Zi Xiao's voice fell, Ye Hua suddenly sneered. "Considerations? I don't know what kind of considerations the Head has, but I do know that the Head has been overcautious in his actions recently, and has completely lost the courage and decisiveness of the past. Especially the operation against Hei Yun this time, who knows how many good opportunities have been missed! " He turned to look at Lu Ye. "As expected, you are no longer suitable to be the leader. The Nine Heavens need to find a new path."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the cultivators on the warship changed. Zi Xiao's face even sank. "Second Head, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to have internal strife in the midst of a great war? "
Ye Hua gave a disdainful laugh, "Internal strife? You underestimate me too much. " As soon as he finished speaking, his spiritual power surged, and his blood and Qi swirled around him. He took a step forward and threw a punch at Lu Ye, who was sitting on the chair.
Zi Xiao's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, "Late Stage Yue Yao?"
He didn't know when Ye Hua had advanced to the late stage, but he didn't know about it at all. He had always thought that Ye Hua was only at the middle stage.
Judging from Ye Hua's painstaking efforts to conceal his cultivation from his fellow pirates, this guy didn't have any good intentions.
Just as he was about to remind Lu Ye to be careful, he saw a scene from the corner of his eye that made his eyes pop out of their sockets. Qin Ru, who had been standing behind Lu Ye and serving him attentively, had a sword in her hand at some unknown time and was stabbing towards Lu Ye's neck.
Not only that, Qin Qin, who was kneeling in front of Lu Ye, suddenly exerted her strength and grabbed one of Lu Ye's legs with both hands, restricting his movements while biting down.
Many unforeseen events occurred at the same time. Zi Xiao immediately realized that Ye Hua had clearly come prepared, and his preparations were extremely thorough.
This guy had long planned to usurp the throne and had even colluded with Qin Ru and her mother at some unknown time. Otherwise, Qin Ru and her mother wouldn't have reacted like this. Ever since they had been captured, they had always been very docile.
The leader didn't obey Lei Guang's orders and had only accelerated the process. Even if today didn't happen, this scene was bound to happen in the near future.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, the sound of metal clashing could be heard. Accompanied by Qin Ru's cry of alarm, Ye Hua, who was rushing towards Lu Ye, suddenly froze in place.
Ferocious waves of Qi swept out in all directions, turning the center of the warship into a mess. In this small area, the violent surging of transcendence energy caused the blood and Qi of many constellations to surge, causing them to lose their footing.
In the end, Zi Xiao was Yue Yao and was the first to recover from this unforeseen event. He immediately thought of rescuing Lu Ye, but just as he took a step forward, he was stunned.
This was because, in his imagination, the scene of the leader being heavily injured by a sneak attack didn't happen. Facing Ye Hua's long-planned attack, the leader, who was sitting upright, only swung his fist and blocked the other party's bombardment.
Qin Ru's sneak attack also didn't seem to have any effect. She was even sent flying by the surging transcendence energy just now. She was still holding her sword, but there wasn't the slightest trace of blood on it.
Qin Qin was still hugging Lu Ye's leg, but no matter how fierce she was, she couldn't bite through Lu Ye's protective transcendence energy.
After all, the difference between their cultivation levels was too great.
"You …" Ye Hua's pupils suddenly shrank, his face filled with disbelief. According to his plan, even if his punch couldn't kill Lu Ye, it would at least be able to heavily injure him.
But in reality, that wasn't the case at all. The leader had only used a single fist to block his bombardment. This was something he found hard to understand.
He knew that the leader's strength wasn't bad, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent.
Moreover … the leader's entire body didn't show the slightest sign of his transcendence energy being unstable! This was what he found inconceivable.
"Are you curious as to why I wasn't poisoned?" Lu Ye looked at Ye Hua and suddenly spoke. His transcendence energy was still circulating, forcing Ye Hua to not dare to retreat. Otherwise, the ferocious transcendence energy would immediately engulf him.
While resisting with great difficulty, Ye Hua's expression was one of astonishment. "You already knew?"
Lu Ye lifted the leg that Qin Qin was hugging and casually swung it, sending Qin Qin flying. The woman crashed into the side of the ship and fell down with a miserable cry. She hurriedly rushed to her mother's side and helped her up.
The mother and daughter looked at Lu Ye who was still sitting in the same place with fiery eyes, their beautiful eyes filled with accusation.
"Of course I knew there was poison in the pool." Lu Ye glanced at the mother and daughter. Half a month ago, when he first entered the pool, he had already noticed it. However, the poison was very hidden and the toxicity didn't seem to be very strong. At that time, he was injured, so when he entered the pool, the poison would have seeped into his body.
This wasn't strange. After all, Lu Ye's cultivation was at the late stage of Yue Yao. If the poison wasn't hidden well enough, he would definitely have noticed it.
In fact, he really didn't notice anything, but his Talent Tree had some reaction.
At that time, he thought that Qin Ru and her daughter were holding a grudge. After all, as the leader of the Nine Heavens Pirate Gang, he had done many terrible things to them, so it was reasonable for them to hold a grudge against him. However, later on, he slowly realized that things weren't so simple.
Qin Ru and her daughter alone didn't have the ability to do this. It wasn't until Ye Hua's sudden attack that the truth was revealed.
The one who ordered Qin Ru and her daughter to poison him was undoubtedly Ye Hua. If there wasn't someone powerful enough standing behind them, how could the mother and daughter have the courage and ability to do so?
Moreover, the fragrance of Qin Ru and her daughter today was different from before. When they stood beside Lu Ye, his Talent Tree had reacted again.
Therefore, Lu Ye guessed that the poison in the pool needed another poison to activate, which was what Qin Ru and her daughter had smeared on their bodies today. As for what effect this poison would have, he had no way of guessing.
However, since Ye Hua dared to make a move, he definitely had full confidence. In addition, he had concealed his cultivation. This sudden attack was very difficult for an ordinary late stage Yue Yao to escape.
Lu Ye's heart trembled. To be honest, if it weren't for his Talent Tree, he would have definitely suffered a loss this time.
This was his first trial in the Asura Field. Didn't they say that the first trial wasn't very difficult? This was somewhat inconsistent with the information he had received from Chen Xuanhai and Gui Yi.
As this thought flashed through his mind, his transcendence energy suddenly surged.
Ye Hua cried out in alarm and flew backwards. Losing in a direct clash of transcendence energy like this caused his blood and Qi to become turbulent and his transcendence energy to become unstable. He hurriedly tried to adjust his transcendence energy as he flew backwards, but how could he still have the chance?
With a clang, the Mountain Plate Saber was unsheathed.
Lu Ye followed like a shadow and slashed out with Bared Fang.
Resplendent saber light filled the entire battleship, and the faint roar of a beast could be heard.
By the time everyone regained their senses, Lu Ye had already sheathed his saber. Not far in front of him, Ye Hua, who had been so aggressive just a moment ago, was lying on the ground, a pool of blood flowing from his body. His eyes were wide open, and his vitality had dissipated.
The group of pirates who had been following Ye Hua just now felt their bodies turn cold. They had listened to Ye Hua's nonsense and followed him, but it was only now that they realized that their chief's strength was actually terrifying to such an extent. Even though Ye Hua had only recently advanced to the late stage of the Moon Jade Realm, he was still a late stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator, yet he was still killed by their chief with a single saber strike!
On the other side, Qin Ru and her daughter were extremely pale. They stared blankly at Lu Ye, as if they were looking at an insurmountable mountain. Their hearts were filled with despair.
Lu Ye looked over, and the mother and daughter couldn't help but shiver. They realized that what awaited them would be a humiliation that was a thousand times crueler than before!
Gritting her teeth, Qin Ru raised her sword and charged at Lu Ye, yelling, "I'll kill you!"
A buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the battleship shook violently. Everyone lost their footing, and Qin Ru, who had charged over with her sword, also fell to the ground.
An anxious voice rang out, "Chief, the Thunder Light is attacking us!"
Lu Ye turned his head and saw that the Thunder Light Fleet, which had been in an offensive posture before, was no longer hiding their fangs and brazenly attacking the Nine Heavens Pirate Gang's battleship.
During the chase, the Nine Heavens Pirate Gang had ignored the Thunder Light Fleet's orders, which had long since infuriated them. Now that the situation was set, as long as they eliminated the Black Cloud Fleet, it would be time to divide the spoils. One less pirate gang was nothing, and they could even divide more spoils. Naturally, the Thunder Light Fleet would not show any mercy.
