Nine Stars Sect had been defeated, thoroughly defeated. The only one who could fight against Wang Yang was Dong Shuye, but he had gone out to chase after Tiger Crossing. Once the Sect's Spirit Array was broken, no one could stop Wang Yang's slaughter.
Cao Ye faintly sensed that there was a conspiracy behind this, but there was no way for him to think too much about it. Pushing his Spirit Qi, he shouted, "Everyone, prepare to evacuate!"
The disciples who were stationed at various strategic locations to assist in the defense were already in a state of panic. Upon hearing Cao Ye's shout, they immediately rushed in the direction of the main hall. This was where the Jiuxing Sect's Tianji Pillar was located. With the help of the Tianji Pillar, they could return to the Jiuzhou Continent.
"Crack …" The sound of the defensive formation shattering could be heard, and a large patch of fluorescent light dispersed from the outskirts of the Jiuxing Sect's encampment like fireflies filling the sky. Xiao Zhu's body that was suspended in the air fell weakly to the ground. Wang Yang was already prepared, and he scooped her up and held her in his arms.
With his other hand, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed it forward, "Kill!"
…
In the jungle, Lu Ye was fleeing in a sorry state, his arms bloody and even his chest charred.
Dong Shuye's Seventh Order cultivation was not something he could fight against. If not for his Spirit Rune, he would have died when the other party used his first Spirit Technique.
Lu Ye originally thought that escaping into the mountains would increase his chances of survival, but in fact, the dense forest could not hide his figure. Dong Shuye chased after him like a maggot in a tarsal bone. Casting one spell after another, the trees that were as thick as several people hugging their arms around fell one after another.
He had separated from Hu Po, and when he was hit by Dong Shuye's second attack, he was knocked off the tiger's back by the powerful impact, which was why his chest was charred. Lu Ye did not know how serious Hu Po's injuries were, but they were definitely not light, because when Hu Po fell, the ground under him was quickly dyed red with blood.
Lu Ye didn't even have the time to check on Hu Po's injuries. He felt that he wouldn't be able to escape this time, so he made a prompt decision to split up with Hu Po. If they continued to stay together, even Hu Po would die.
If he was destined to die, Hu Po would at least be able to survive.
Fortunately, Dong Shuye did not continue to glide in the sky, because the trees here were very tall and the canopy was extremely dense. If he flew into the sky, it would be very easy for him to lose sight of Lu Ye.
Even so, with his Seventh Order cultivation, his speed was not something Lu Ye could escape from.
With only thirty percent of his spiritual power left, he could only activate the defensive spiritual rune, which could barely block Dong Shuye's attack, once more.
There was no chance.
Lu Ye raised his bloody right hand and grasped the long knife at his waist.
Although this life was a little short and not exciting enough, even if he died, he still had to face the enemy!
Lu Ye didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after figuring out the source of the sound, he immediately turned around and rushed in that direction.
Dong Shuye, who was chasing from behind, saw Lu Ye's figure from afar, and his eyes spewed flames of anger.
He really didn't expect that he would not be able to capture a Third-Order brat after spending so much time chasing after him. This was a little difficult for him to accept and only served to further strengthen his determination to kill Lu Ye.
Seeing Lu Ye change direction and hearing the rumbling sound, how could Dong Shuye not know what Lu Ye was up to?
"Boy, you can't run away! Obediently accept your death and you'll be spared from physical pain!" Dong Shuye shouted angrily as he pushed his Spiritual Energy and soared into the sky.
Up in the air, Lu Ye caught sight of an enormous waterfall. Beneath the blazing sun, the splashes of water formed a rainbow-colored light. Within the rainbow-colored light, Lu Ye leaped into the air, heading down the waterfall.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Dong Shuye shouted, hurriedly sending out a Golden Arc Slash towards Lu Ye. The Golden Arc Slash displayed by a Seventh Order cultivator was much more powerful than the one displayed by Luo Ji, a Second Order cultivator. The Golden Arc Slash was almost a metre long.
The crescent-shaped slash broke through the air, but because both sides were moving quickly, the slash missed its target and cut through Lu Ye's back.
Lu Ye's Body Protecting Spirit Qi was like paper as blood splattered everywhere, causing his face to twitch in pain.
At that moment, he didn't even have time to urge his Defensive Spirit Rune. If he had been hit by the Golden Arc Slash, his torso would have been cut in half.
His body fell rapidly downwards and a moment later, crashed into the pool below. Lu Ye immediately dove down, trying to conceal himself.
At the same time, Dong Shuye's figure floated down from above the waterfall and hovered above the pool, sending out a Golden Arc Slash towards the spot where Lu Ye had fallen.
Compared to other Spirit Arts, the penetrative power of the Golden Arc Slash was undoubtedly stronger. Although it could be blocked by the current, there was no better way at this time unless Dong Shuye was willing to dive into the water to search for traces of Lu Ye.
As the Golden Arc Slash descended, the water surface was cut open and thick blood poured out of the water along with some pieces of internal organs.
Seeing this scene, Dong Shuye hurriedly checked his Battlefield Mark.
Ten Merit Points had been deducted …
This made Dong Shuye's heart ache.
The Spirit Stream Battlefield was a very strange place. There seemed to be a mysterious force that controlled the Merit Points of cultivators. If one killed an enemy above their realm, the Merit Points would be doubled, but if one killed an enemy three Minor Realms lower in cultivation, a large amount of Merit Points would be deducted.
This mysterious force seemed to encourage cultivators to fight above their realm, and it would also punish those who bullied the weak.
This was also the reason why there were not many strong cultivators in the outer circle of the battlefield. Contribution points were very useful to any cultivator. In order to obtain contribution points, one must first kill an enemy with a cultivation base that was not too far off from the cultivator's.
There weren't many places where Sixth or Seventh Order cultivators could benefit from in the Outer Ring. Although they wouldn't completely leave the Outer Ring, they would still choose to stay relatively close to the Inner Ring to gain experience.
Dong Shuye was a Seventh Order cultivator, so killing a Fourth Order cultivator would give him Merit Points, but if he killed a Third Order cultivator, ten Merit Points would be deducted, and if he killed a Second Order cultivator, twenty Merit Points would be deducted.
Ten Merit Points wasn't much, but it wasn't little either. For Dong Shuye, killing a cultivator of the same realm only gave him seven Merit Points. If it weren't for the orders from the Sect's elders, he wouldn't have personally chased after Lu Ye.
Fortunately, everything was over …
He looked at his Battlefield Mark again. When he checked his Merit Points just now, he found that someone had sent him a message.
When he saw the content of the message, his face changed drastically.
