In the hall, Liu Yuemei laughed complacently. Xiao Xing He's heart was dead as he stared blankly at the place where Lu Ye disappeared, full of self-blame and annoyance.
In the current situation, he was powerless to intervene. Once the power of a treasure like the Battle Stage was activated, not to mention a Third-Order True Lake Realm cultivator like him, even a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to interfere.
Little Junior Brother and Chen Ke entered the small space of the Battle Stage, so the outcome was obvious.
He suddenly raised his head and glared at Liu Yuemei, "Aren't you afraid of a backlash from the Heavens?"
Liu Yuemei stopped laughing and snorted coldly, "Backlash from the Heavens? This Pass Master didn't violate any of the terms of the Heavens Contract, so how could there be a backlash from the Heavens?"
Xiao Xing He suddenly came to a realization, "You tampered with the Heavens Contract?"
"So what if I did?" At this point, Liu Yuemei no longer needed to hide. After entering the Battle Stage, only one side could walk out alive, and she believed that the one who would walk out alive would be Chen Ke.
Xiao Xing He was furious and raised his hand to press down on the hilt of his saber. At this moment, Lin Yin Xiu grabbed his arm. Xiao Xing He looked back, but Lin Yin Xiu shook her head slightly.
Xiao Xing He was only a Third-Order True Lake Realm cultivator. If he really pulled out his saber against Liu Yuemei, he would be disregarding seniority and offending his superiors. Liu Yuemei could even kill him on the spot.
How could Xiao Xing He not know this? It was just that Liu Yuemei, who was in the Spirit Sea Realm, had schemed against his Junior Brother, who was only in the Third-Order True Lake Realm. This really made his chest erupt like a volcano.
"Before the result is out, everything is possible," Lin Yin Xiu advised in a low voice.
Xiao Xing He was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and forced himself to calm down. Liu Yuemei sneered and looked at Xiao Xing He with some disappointment. She wished that Xiao Xing He would attack her just now, so that she would have a chance to kill him openly.
But it didn't matter. Thinking that Lu Yi Ye would definitely die at Chen Ke's hands, the pent-up anger of the past few days dissipated a lot.
In the small space of the Battle Stage, two figures suddenly appeared on the left and right.
Lu Ye still had a panicked look on his face, but it soon turned indifferent.
Chen, who was opposite him, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Lu Ye calming down. "Your temperament is good. What a pity. Tell me, how do you want to die? I'll try to satisfy you."
As he spoke, he took out his own spirit weapon, which was a long spear.
Chen Kesheng's appearance was extraordinary. At this moment, with the long spear in his hand, his bearing was solemn and dignified. He gave off a feeling of being pure and untainted.
Lu Ye remained silent as he slowly drew the Mountain Saber from his waist. He silently calculated that he couldn't win this battle too easily. He had to fight a bitter battle with Chen Ke. If he won too easily, it would only arouse Liu Yuemei's suspicions. At that time, it would probably cause some unnecessary trouble. The best outcome would naturally be to win by a hair's breadth and kill Chen Ke. That was why he couldn't use his Divine Sense and some of his trump cards.
....
Lu Ye's silence made Chen Ke unhappy. He snorted coldly. "In that case, don't blame me for being merciless."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered and he rushed towards Lu Ye. Lu Ye also moved in an instant.
The two figures collided in the blink of an eye. The long saber slashed down and the long spear stabbed out.
With a bang, Spirit Qi surged. Visible waves of Qi spread out in all directions with the two as the center.
Chen Ke's expression became a little startled at this moment, because the scene of Lu Ye collapsing in a single blow didn't happen. Whether it was in terms of speed or power, Lu Ye's attack wasn't inferior to Chen Ke's at all. As a result, the two of them were evenly matched.
"This guy … is so strong?"
At this moment, Chen Ke was secretly glad that Liu Yuemei didn't let Qi Wu fight. Judging from the opponent's foundation, Qi Wu might not be his match.
No wonder he dared to take out the Battle Stage. He had something to rely on. "Clang, clang, clang, clang …"
Chen Ke's mind was full of thoughts, but his hands didn't stop moving. He fought with Lu Ye with his long spear.
However, the more he fought, the more frightened he became …
He did not use his full strength when he first thrust out his spear, because in his opinion, he was dealing with an enemy whose cultivation level was lower than his own by four levels.
There was no need for him to go all out.
After that, the power of each spear strike was stronger than the previous one. After six or seven spears, he no longer held back, but Lu Ye still managed to deal with it flawlessly.
This made him feel a little incredulous.
Chen Ke couldn't believe it, but he had no choice but to believe it. Chen Ke roared angrily, and the spiritual energy around him surged madly. His attacks became even more ferocious.
Clang! The moment the saber and spear collided, Chen Ke felt numb. The spear in his hand involuntarily rose up and almost flew out of his hand. He quickly tightened his grip on the spear, but because of this, he revealed a flaw.
Chen Ke's eyes narrowed as Lu Ye's saber pierced straight towards his heart.
At this critical moment of life and death, Chen Ke displayed the powerful background of a disciple of a large Sect. Facing such a blade, he did not lose his composure. He only slightly leaned his body, and at the same time, his long spear stabbed out. Impressively, he was fighting with his life on the line.
He was fierce, but Lu Ye was not inferior to him.
With two slashing sounds, both of them were injured, blood splattering everywhere.
Neither of them retreated, still fighting in close quarters.
The battle reached its climax in an extremely short period of time. Both of them only attacked and did not defend. At most, they would dodge slightly when facing a fatal threat.
As a result, the battle became extremely tragic. In a short while, both Lu Ye and Chen Ke were covered in blood, as if they were drenched in blood.
With the accumulation of injuries and the long period of time of using his full strength, his aura was faintly showing signs of exhaustion. On the other hand, Lu Ye had remained the same from the beginning to the end.
His aura did not change at all.
After another life on the line battle, Chen Ke did not dare to continue. He endured a blade from Lu Ye and quickly retreated, quickly increasing the distance between him and Lu Ye.
Looking up, Chen Ke saw Lu Ye standing calmly in the same spot, without any intention of pursuing him. Even his breathing was extremely steady. Although he looked a little disheveled, Chen Ke knew that his injuries were not serious.
Moreover, from beginning to end, Lu Ye's actions gave Chen Ke a strange feeling.
Suddenly, Chen Ke woke up and muttered, "Are you playing with me?"
His heart filled with horror. The enemy in front of him … was actually stronger than him, which was why he had been able to control the rhythm of the battle from beginning to end.
Chen Ke could not imagine that the gap between their Fourth-Order cultivation was so small.
[What kind of freak is this?]
Not daring to neglect, Chen Ke quickly took out a Spirit Pill from his Storage Bag and stuffed it into his mouth, pushing his Spirit Qi to refine it.
Taking this Spirit Pill at this moment was naturally not to heal his injuries, but to squeeze out his own potential. Chen Ke had already felt that if he continued like this, he would die without a doubt, so even if this Spirit Pill was precious and the side effects were severe, Chen Ke could not care less.
Once the Battle Stage was activated, only one person could walk out alive. During this period, no one could interfere. If Chen Ke wanted to live, he could only do his best to kill the enemy in front of him.
Lu Ye just looked at him faintly, not showing the slightest intention to stop him, but the more he acted like this, the more uneasy Chen Ke felt.
After three breaths, the aura around Chen Ke's body suddenly became much denser, and his Spirit Qi seemed to be boiling, causing his aura to soar.
Feeling the surging power in his body, Chen Ke's heart calmed down a little.
"Do you know …" Lu Ye suddenly spoke, the Mountain Saber in his hand forming a Saber Stance as his aura suddenly became condensed.
Chen Ke, on the other hand, felt as if he was facing a great enemy. Under the influence of Lu Ye's aura, he could not help but feel an illusion that he could not resist.
He knew that this was not the best time to attack, but he could not suppress the fear in his heart.
He knew that if he delayed any longer, he might not even have the courage to make a move. So, he immediately rushed forward and poured all his strength into the long spear in his hand. His entire body almost turned into a rainbow light and merged with the long spear.
Coupled with the Spirit Pill he had just swallowed, this was definitely his strongest attack so far.
He did not know if he could kill his opponent, but he knew that if this attack did not have any effect, he would be the one to die.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Ke was within reach.
"If I wanted to kill you …"
Lu Ye thrust out his saber. In that instant, Chen Ke's pupils constricted as he inexplicably saw a starry sky rise behind Lu Ye, filled with countless stars.
The stars fell, and the overwhelming light drowned him. Every star was a speck of saber light …
An inexplicable power swept through his mind, causing intense pain in his head. His Spirit Qi scattered, and the spear he had used all his strength to stab out became weak and powerless.
The two figures brushed past each other. Lu Ye did not move, lightly swinging the Mountain Saber, and sheathing it.
"It's only a matter of one strike!"
Dozens of feet behind Lu Ye, Chen Ke was still in the posture of stabbing out with his spear, but he was frozen in place as if he had been hit by a spell.
His face was as pale as paper, and his expression was twisted with pain. His entire body was trembling slightly.
As Lu Ye's words fell, countless tiny pillars of blood suddenly burst out from Chen Ke's body, especially from his heart, which erupted the most fiercely.
"Divine Will …" Chen Ke murmured. The spear in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell forward with a crash.
As Chen Ke's aura faded away, the small space in the fighting ring quickly turned illusory.
In the main hall, Xiao Xinghe waited anxiously.
All of a sudden, the void became distorted, and a figure vaguely appeared at the place where the battle platform had disappeared.
Several pairs of eyes quickly looked over.
Xiao Xinghe's eyes were blood-red, afraid that he would see something he did not want to see. Liu Yuemei's expression, on the other hand, had a hint of madness in her joy. She looked on cheerfully, ready to welcome the arrival of good things.
However, the joy on her face quickly turned into astonishment. That was because the vague figure that was about to appear did not seem to be Chen Ke's figure, but Lu Yiye's.
In the blink of an eye, the blurry figure solidified, and Lu Ye, covered in blood, appeared in the main hall. He panted lightly, looked at the worried and shocked Xiao Xinghe, and smiled: "I won."
"Crack …"
The table in front of Liu Yuemei shattered into pieces.
