"Senior Sister, I want to challenge him!"
In the silent atmosphere, the reprimanded cultivator suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Lu Ye, who was chewing on a Spirit Pill, his cheeks bulging.
"Are you his opponent?"
"Whether I'm his opponent or not, we'll know after we fight!" The cultivator straightened his neck.
Feng Yue Chan's lips curled slightly, "If you want to challenge him, you'll have to see if he's willing."
Saying so, she lowered her head and looked at Lu Ye.
Their eyes met, and Lu Ye raised his brow slightly, revealing a look of inquiry.
Feng Yue Chan nodded imperceptibly.
The silent exchange was completed in a moment, and Lu Ye suddenly realized that this Senior Sister Feng was also a clever person. She obviously knew the real reason why he came to Pill Heart Sect and made such a scene.
"Sure!" Lu Ye nodded.
Feng Yue Chan turned to a female cultivator standing to the side, "Help him treat his injuries."
This female cultivator should be a medical cultivator, and her cultivation wasn't low, at least at the Eighth Heaven level.
"No need!" Lu Ye said as he tore off his tattered shirt and wiped the blood off his body. Throwing the bloody clothes aside, he raised the Mountain Ascending Saber in his hand and pointed at the cultivator who wanted to challenge him, "Come!"
The cultivator roared angrily as his Spirit Qi surged. First, he attacked with an Imperial Artifact. Following the Imperial Artifact, he arrived in front of Lu Ye in a few steps and thrust his spear straight at him.
He had seen Lu Ye's various methods just now and knew that he was definitely not his opponent, so he attacked with all his strength.
Gathering his Spirit Qi on the spear, he shook it three times and blossomed in Lu Ye's vision, accompanied by the murderous intent of the Imperial Artifact.
Two crisp sounds rang out as the Imperial Artifact and the spear flew up at the same time, together with the cultivator's figure.
Both of them were Seventh Order Heaven Grade cultivators, but this cultivator couldn't even take a single blow from Lu Ye. The moment his spear flew out of his hand, the web between his thumb and forefinger split open and blood spilled out.
His falling body was caught by his Senior Brother. His arms trembled violently as he looked at Lu Ye with eyes full of disbelief.
He knew that he was no match for Lu Ye, but he didn't expect to be defeated so thoroughly. If Lu Ye really wanted to take his life, he would have died just now.
"Next!" Lu Ye said indifferently as he twirled the long saber in his hand.
The cultivators of Elixir Heart Sect were in an uproar.
Hearing the meaning in Lu Ye's words, he clearly wanted to challenge all of them with his strength alone! What kind of arrogance was this? Compared to the failure they had suffered when they had joined forces to besiege the Blue Blood Sect disciples, Lu Ye's arrogance was even more intolerable.
"Let me!"
This time, without waiting for Feng Yuechan to speak, a cultivator jumped out.
However, as soon as he steadied himself, his vision blurred and Lu Ye's face appeared in front of him, almost touching his face.
The man jumped in fright. Just as he was about to pull away, a strong force hit his lower abdomen. It was as if he had been struck by lightning. He flew back in the same way he had jumped out, crashing heavily into the crowd.
Lu Ye retracted his foot and stood on the spot expressionlessly. The group of Elixir Heart Sect cultivators opposite him gnashed their teeth in hatred.
"Tian Qi, Tian Ba, don't make a fool of yourself. Tian Jiu, go!" Feng Yuechan's voice rang out.
A burly Physique Cultivator pushed through the crowd and slowly walked up to Lu Ye, standing not far from him. With a dignified expression, he took out a shield spirit artifact from his storage bag and activated his spirit energy. The small shield in his hand suddenly expanded, turning into a barrier that covered his entire body.
Soon after, the body cultivator lowered his body slightly and assumed a charging posture. His feet exerted force on the ground and his body shot toward Lu Ye like an arrow released from a bow.
Lu Ye took a deep breath. The moment the body cultivator closed in, the Mountain Plate Saber ignited with flames and he slashed three times at the spirit tool shield.
With each slash, the Mountain Plate Saber flashed with light.
After three slashes, the spirit tool shield's spirit light immediately dimmed and cracks appeared on the small shield in the body cultivator's hand.
The moment they collided, Lu Ye couldn't help but retreat. His feet plowed two deep grooves in the ground.
The body cultivator's forward momentum was stopped at the same time. In that instant, he felt as if he had crashed into a wall. He was shocked. His opponent's physique was actually on par with his own!
What kind of weapon cultivator was this?
Before he could finish his thought, Lu Ye, who had been forced back, rushed forward again. The Mountain Plate Saber stabbed straight at the small shield spirit tool in his hand.
The body cultivator wanted to dodge, but his reaction wasn't fast enough. He could only madly circulate his spirit power and block the attack with his spirit tool.
* Crash … *
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the small shield spirit tool shattered. The Mountain Plate Saber stabbed straight into the body cultivator's chest, sinking three inches into his flesh.
The body cultivator lowered his head and looked at the Mountain Plate Saber wrapped in flames. His eyes trembled violently.
Lu Ye withdrew his saber, bringing with it a spray of hot blood. The body cultivator staggered back. A medical cultivator hurriedly supported him. The body cultivator shook his head, indicating that he was fine. If Lu Ye's saber had been an inch deeper, it would have pierced his heart. This kind of injury was nothing to a body cultivator.
The entire arena was silent. Although they knew that Lu Ye was strong when they surrounded him, they never imagined that he would be this strong.
The best way for a weapon cultivator to deal with a body cultivator was to put some distance between them and use a spirit tool. This was because a weapon cultivator's physique couldn't compare to a body cultivator's.
But what had they just seen? A weapon cultivator had forcibly shattered a body cultivator's defensive spirit tool!
A body cultivator's defensive spirit tool was a body cultivator's dignity!
Now, that dignity had been shattered and trampled on.
The visual impact of this battle was unimaginable to everyone.
After a short silence, another Heaven Rank 9 cultivator walked out. He lowered his head slightly and held a long sword in his hand. Judging from his attire, he was a weapon cultivator. Whether or not he was a sword cultivator was unknown. Not all sword cultivators were sword cultivators.
This person didn't say a word, but he moved faster and faster. After a few steps, his body was like a bolt of lightning.
When the sword light surged, this person's body was wrapped in sword light. Man and sword became one, turning into a sword light that pierced towards Lu Ye.
Although this sword didn't look too fancy, it was a real attack that risked one's life. The killing intent was so sharp that it was almost tangible. It made Lu Ye feel as if his entire body was being pierced by needles.
This person was a genuine sword cultivator!
The sword light arrived in the blink of an eye. Insight Spirit Marks appeared in Lu Ye's eyes. At the same time, a sturdy defensive spirit mark appeared in front of him.
Ding …
A soft sound rang out. The long sword touched the defensive spirit mark, followed by a continuous clang. In that instant, the sword cultivator had stabbed countless times.
Even though Lu Ye tried his best to urge his spirit power to maintain the defensive spirit mark, the spirit mark was covered in cracks.
With a crash, the defensive spirit mark shattered. As the sword light swept past Lu Ye, Lu Ye slashed down with his saber.
The two figures stood with their backs to each other, motionless.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
With a hiss, blood spurted out of Lu Ye's neck. There was another wound on the side of his neck.
Behind him, the sword cultivator swayed slightly and fell to the ground with a plop.
The medical cultivator of Pill Heart Sect hurried forward to check. He was relieved to find that the sword cultivator had only exhausted his strength. Although he was injured, his life wasn't in danger.
The surrounding Pill Heart Sect cultivators looked at Lu Ye with mixed feelings. If they were angry before, they were now filled with a hint of admiration.
Regardless of the relationship between Jade Blood Sect and Pill Heart Sect, or whether Lu Ye was from Jade Blood Sect, a Heaven Rank 7 cultivator could do this. It was enough to win everyone's admiration.
After all, the two Heaven Rank 9 cultivators were the strongest among Pill Heart Sect's Spirit Stream Realm cultivators besides Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that they were no match for Lu Ye.
Looking at the bloodied youth with a saber in his hand, the Pill Heart Sect cultivators felt like they were looking at a rising star.
Another person walked out of the crowd silently.
Although they admired Lu Ye and knew that the battle was unfair, today's battle concerned Pill Heart Sect's reputation. They wouldn't be satisfied if they didn't defeat Lu Ye.
"Enough!" Feng Yuechan said faintly. "Haven't you embarrassed yourselves enough?"
The cultivator who walked out was silent for a moment, then retreated into the crowd.
"Go back and reflect on yourselves. The sect has provided you with a lot of resources. You should be worthy of the sect's efforts."
The group of cultivators bowed to Feng Yuechan in silence, then dispersed with heavy hearts.
Before this, they were proud of being Pill Heart Sect cultivators. Although Pill Heart Sect was a Rank 2 sect, even Myriad Demon Ridge's Rank 1 cultivators didn't dare to provoke them in the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
This was something that no second-grade sect could do.
However, today, they had suffered a huge blow. A Heaven Rank 7 cultivator from Jade Blood Sect had almost beaten up their Heaven Rank 9 cultivators. Jade Blood Sect was only a Rank 9 sect …
This was a humiliation that everyone would remember.
If they wanted to wash away this humiliation, they had to work hard and fight back.
After the Pill Heart Sect cultivators dispersed, Feng Yuechan floated down.
"Senior Sister Feng." Lu Ye sheathed his saber and bowed.
"Heal your wounds first, then change into clean clothes. I'll take you to see your Fourth Senior Brother."
"Alright." It was indeed unsuitable for him to meet people in his current state. Moreover, although he seemed to have taken the sword cultivator's attack easily, he had actually taken a trip to the gates of hell.
The sword cultivator had concentrated all his strength into one strike. After that strike, he had collapsed from exhaustion. This was clearly a secret technique. How could such a strike be taken so casually?
Lu Ye's Qi and blood were roiling in his chest. His spirit power was surging and wouldn't be able to calm down in a short time.
If another Heaven Rank 9 cultivator came to challenge him, he would lose without a doubt.
Feng Yuechan must have seen this, which was why she stopped the third Heaven Rank 9 cultivator from challenging him. She wanted to use Lu Ye's strength to teach her own cultivator a lesson. She wouldn't let him lose here.
Feng Yuechan took him to her residence. She arranged for him to take a bath. Feng Yue also treated him, and the wound on his neck disappeared. After changing into clean clothes, he went to Eagle Beak Cliff behind Pill Heart Sect's encampment to see Li Baxian.
The environment here was quiet and remote. A simple wooden house was Li Baxian's daily residence. It was far away from the bustle of the encampment and seemed detached from the outside world.
When Lu Ye and the others arrived, smoke rose in spirals and a fragrant aroma filled the air.
Li Baxian walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, stunning Lu Ye.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you …"
Li Baxian said, "You can't tell Second Senior Sister. Otherwise, I won't be able to get a free meal the next time I return to the sect." He then beckoned everyone, "Sit anywhere you like. It'll be ready soon."
