"Deathmatch Arena!"
Tan Sheng, who was defending against the demon wolves, exclaimed as he looked at the glowing object, "I see!"
No wonder Fire Prairie was behaving so strangely today. It turned out that they were going to use this object. Everything made sense now. It was the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land who had launched the attack, but they had been defending passively. Fire Prairie looked like he had lost his mind, but he was only shouting and did not do anything stupid.
Everything was a facade to pave the way for this moment.
"Indeed …" Xia Liang muttered softly. The truth was as he had guessed. Fire Prairie really did have a deathmatch arena.
He was able to sense it because Fire Prairie was behaving strangely. Secondly, the aura he had locked onto Lu Ye was too abnormal.
It was not Fire Prairie's aura, but the aura that extended from the deathmatch arena. That was why it exceeded Fire Prairie's limit.
There were many Unique Treasures in the Nine Regions. These Unique Treasures had all kinds of strange effects. The tracking disk that Tan Sheng used to track Lu Ye's whereabouts was a Unique Treasure. The Golden Body Token that Lu Ye used to save his life was also a Unique Treasure. The deathmatch arena was also a Unique Treasure.
It only had one use, which was to lure the user who activated the deathmatch arena and the enemy who was targeted by the deathmatch arena into a deathmatch arena!
In terms of value, this object could not be compared to the Golden Body Token that Lu Ye used before. After all, it was a good item that could save one's life. The deathmatch arena was not used to save one's life, but to force the enemy to fight to the death. Therefore, it had a lot of limitations. It had to ensure that the enemy was weaker than the user.
Furthermore, there was a prerequisite to using it. The aura extended from the deathmatch arena had to completely lock onto the enemy. In other words, Fire Prairie could not be too far away from Lu Ye. Furthermore, it needed some time to accumulate power. If Lu Ye exceeded a certain distance from Fire Prairie, the deathmatch arena would not be able to activate its effect.
This was also the reason why Fire Prairie decided to launch the attack today. It was also the reason why he did not ask Xia Liang about the location of the Tianji Pillar.
It did not matter if there was a Tianji Pillar or not. As long as he successfully activated the deathmatch arena, Lu Yiye would definitely die.
All of his previous actions had been a disguise, all in order to make Lu Ye lower his guard. But now, it seemed that his plan had been successful. Lu Ye hadn't realized the impending crisis until the very last moment.
However, it was already too late. When the two beams of light from the deathmatch arena locked onto him and Huo Liaoyuan, the power of this treasure was completely unleashed.
Li Baxian's flying swords and Feng Yuechan's spells continued to bombard the deathmatch stage, but the small stage remained unmoved.
Lu Ye's and Huo Liaoyuan's figures, along with the small deathmatch arena, disappeared in a flash of light.
"Junior Brother!" Li Baxian cried out in alarm. He couldn't stop Lu Ye's fate at all.
"Let's go!" Xia Liang bellowed and quickly retreated.
Tan Sheng, who had been warned by him, followed closely behind.
At the same time, all the cultivators of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land were fighting and retreating in an orderly manner.
Although Li Baxian and the other two were furious and chased after them with the wolf pack, the results were minimal. They could only watch as the cultivators of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land retreated out of the range of the Forbidden Sky Formation. Then, they all rose into the sky and ran away.
The wolves chased them to the edge of the Spiritual Land, howling one after another, but no longer moved forward.
They could still fight with the cultivators of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land within the range of the Space Restricting Array, but once they left the range of the Space Restricting Array, they would become living targets.
Although Li Baxian was angry and worried, he still had reason. He stopped chasing and immediately checked Lu Ye's battle imprint.
In the current situation, Lu Ye and Huo Liaoyuan had been drawn into the space created by the deathmatch arena. Even if he had a thousand methods, he couldn't help. He could only determine whether Lu Ye was dead or alive through his battle imprint.
"Senior Brother …" Feng Yuechan leaned over and called out softly, comforting him, "Senior Brother is fine. Senior Brother, have you forgotten? In the Hunting Ground, Junior Brother Lu killed a Seventh Order when he was just a Third Order. Now, he's already a Fifth Order."
Although that battle wasn't a result of Lu Ye's efforts alone and the three of them had done their best, Li Baxian's eyes still shone with hope when he heard Feng Yuechan's words.
He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Little Junior Brother is fine. As long as he can activate his final trump card …"
At this point, his face turned ugly again. He looked up at Feng Yuechan and his eyes lost focus, "Hu Po … is sleeping!"
Lu Ye's trump card needed to be paired with Hu Po, but ever since Hu Po had swallowed an overlord-ranked Yao Core, it had been in a deep slumber and had yet to awaken. Not only was it in a deep slumber, even Yiyi had fallen into a deep slumber.
In other words, the current Lu Ye had no external help at all!
He was alone, facing an opponent whose cultivation was four Minor Realms higher than him …
Li Baxian's figure became unstable and he couldn't help but stagger, his face suddenly turning pale.
The space in the Death Arena was about three thousand metres in length and width. The sky was empty and there were barriers all around.
It wasn't that the space in the Death Arena was only so big, but that the size of the space in the Death Arena varied according to the cultivation of the user.
Huo Liao Yuan was a Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivator, so when he used the Death Arena, the space was limited to this, but if a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator used the Death Arena, the space might cover a few dozen kilometres or more.
When Lu Ye's figure suddenly appeared here, the invisible force binding him suddenly disappeared, allowing him to regain his freedom.
He immediately observed his surroundings and saw Huo Liao Yuan standing at the other end of the Death Arena.
The surrounding environment felt familiar to him. He had been to this place before, and more than once.
During the Spirit Stream List Battle, some of his opponents chose this kind of terrain. When others challenged him, he also chose this kind of terrain, but the range was smaller because it was more convenient for Weapon Cultivators to display their strength.
So, was this place similar to the Spirit Stream List Battle? It was just that Huo Liao Yuan used a strange artifact to allow him to enter this place together.
Pushing his Spirit Energy, Lu Ye tried to fly out without any hindrance, but he was blocked by the barriers around him. Furthermore, he could feel the sturdiness of the barriers and knew that he couldn't break them.
Being trapped in such a small space with a Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivator was an unprecedentedly bad situation!
Although his strength had increased greatly compared to when he was in the Hunting Ground, he didn't think that he was a Ninth Order cultivator's opponent. With the strength he could display now, he might be able to fight an Eighth Order cultivator, but against a Ninth Order cultivator … he would have to use his Beast Transformation Secret Technique.
But Hu Po was in a deep sleep, so he couldn't use his Beast Transformation Secret Technique.
So, the only trump card he could use to deal with his enemy was the Fire Phoenix Spirit Rune. But this thing needed a certain amount of time to activate, and in this small space, his enemy wouldn't be stupid enough to let him slowly accumulate strength. Once he tried to activate the Fire Phoenix Spirit Rune, he would definitely be attacked like a storm.
[Trouble!]
"Don't waste your energy." Seeing that Lu Ye wanted to escape, Huo Liao Yuan's voice rang out, "In the Death Arena, only one of us can survive. Only when one of us dies will the Death Arena be removed!"
[Death Arena?] Lu Ye frowned slightly. He had never heard of such a thing. Although he was also a Cloud River Realm cultivator, and had even reached the Fifth Order, his knowledge and experience were still too shallow compared to ordinary cultivators.
It couldn't be helped. His cultivation time was too short.
But based on his experience and Huo Liao Yuan's previous actions, the so-called Death Arena should be a treasure with a special function.
"Who do you think will be the one who died?" Huo Liao Yuan crossed his hands behind his back and hovered more than ten feet above the ground, looking down at Lu Ye coldly.
Lu Ye glanced at him indifferently and rubbed the hilt of his Mountain Coiling Saber with his thumb.
Fortunately, the Ninth Order cultivator who used the Death Arena against him was from the Sacred Flame Sect!
Ninety-nine percent of the Sacred Flame Sect cultivators were Fire Attribute Cultivators, and he was the least afraid of fire!
If either Xia Liang or Tan Sheng used the Death Arena today, he would definitely die. But it was Huo Liao Yuan, so the situation was hopeless.
"Lu Yi Ye!" Huo Liao Yuan roared. Lu Ye's silence had undoubtedly angered him. He looked furious, "You better accept your death obediently, or else I have ways to torture you!"
In the Death Arena, external forces couldn't interfere. His cultivation was higher than Lu Ye's by a full four Minor Realms, so he was confident in his victory. But even so, it couldn't erase the anger in his heart.
On this trip, the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land had suffered heavy losses. On the first day, more than 60 people had died, and today, nearly 20 people had died in the attack. Such losses could be said to be more than half of the people he had brought with him. He was even forced to use a precious treasure like the Death Arena. Even if he killed Lu Yiye today, the sect would definitely hold him accountable.
He only hoped that he could make up for his mistakes. Otherwise, his future would be ruined.
He should be able to make up for his mistakes. After all, the bounty on Lu Yi Ye's head was too huge. As long as he killed Lu Yi Ye, not only would he not be punished, he would also be rewarded greatly. Which First-Grade Sect didn't want to kill Lu Yi Ye?
Lu Ye's response was an attack. His body rushed out like a vigorous cheetah, and with the support of Wind Travel, he left behind an afterimage as he quickly closed the distance between them.
The first goal of a Weapon Cultivator against a Magic Cultivator was to close the distance and fight in close combat. Lu Ye was only a Fifth Order cultivator, but Huo Liao Yuan was a Ninth Order cultivator. As long as he got close to Lu Ye, it was hard to say who would die. After all, Magic Cultivators spent a lot of time studying Magic Arts, so their bodies were always weak.
So, even if there was no harm in stalling for time, he took the initiative to attack.
