Chapter 1852: How Could This Be?

ound the sight rather comical.Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he must also look like this ghostly figure.Below the chasm, the Zerg still scrambling out met a grim end. Wherever the divine sea rea...During the chase, seeing Lu Ye charging towards him, Yuan Che didn't hesitate. Instead, he met him head-on, even seeming eager to do so.

As for the same Yueyao, his cultivation level was a higher than Lu Ye's. Naturally, he wouldn't fear the other party.

Although fearless, Yuan Che did not underestimate his opponent. When deciding to take action against Sanjie Island, Zi Xuan had meticulously gathered information about the island's various aspects.

What matters most is Lu Ye's strength. This is the kind of power that could drive Yu Huan to a desperate situation even in the early stages of Yue Yao's life, a formidable opponent who cannot be simply judged by his cultivation level.

Besides, Yuan Che had personally witnessed the sharpness of the Pan Shan sword, so his thought was simple—he didn't need to kill Lü Ye, just tie him up for a moment. Then Bao Youyou and Hu Guang could come to support, and with three against one, even if Lü Ye had extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to survive.

Streams of demonic energy surged, encasing the ape in a golden light. It was activating a powerful defensive technique, simultaneously causing its already impressive stature to swell several times over, transforming it into a gigantic ape with elongated arms, white fur, and prominent fangs.

For a demon cultivator, displaying their true form in battle like this undoubtedly means they have already used their full power.

He bared his teeth, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Lu Ye. The moment he flung his arm back, the flesh on it writhed rapidly.

The distance between them rapidly closed, and their auras fiercely ascended.

Immediately after the commotion, Yuan Chui saw something that puzzled him. Lu Ye, who had been charging towards him with his sword drawn, inexplicably sheathed his blade and pressed his right hand against the hilt, his eyelids drooping slightly.

At that instant, the ape felt a chill run down its spine, and a profound sense of danger gripped its heart. However, by this point, they were perilously close, leaving no time to retreat.

Although Lu Ye's next move was unknown, the first to react was still the agile Yuan Che. He swiftly whipped his arm backward before launching it forward with a sudden force, like a long whip striking the void.

This strike wasn't about killing the enemy, only about momentarily hindering them. Though his sense of crisis was intense, he was confident he could achieve this.

The arm that was pulled out struck Lu Ye fiercely, sending him scattering like smoke. Yuan Che didn't feel any joy because he saw through the smoke and dust that it was just an illusion...

The bright blade seemed to rise like a blazing sun, momentarily stunning the cultivators who had been watching. With the sword unsheathed came an awe-inspiring and terrifying slash.

Yuan Che's eyes widened suddenly. In that instant, he felt that he was facing not a Moon Yao mid-stage cultivator, but a Sun Chaser!

He finally understood why he had felt such a strong sense of crisis just now.

Two figures brushed past each other, each maintaining their forward momentum. Unlike Lu Ye, who continued at full speed, Yuan Che's figure slowly came to a halt, standing in mid-air with a bitter expression on his face.

As their gazes met, Yuan Che clearly saw the fear in Bao Youyou's eyes who had been chasing him. He couldn't help but smile wryly.

In that direction, Hu Guang, sensing danger, came to meet him.

After a few breaths, Bao Youyou turned her head back. She saw Lu Ye had already stopped and wasn't chasing after her anymore. He just stared at her coldly, which made her feel like she had escaped death.

In another two breaths, they finally met with Hu Guang. The two demon cultivators didn't hesitate at all and immediately flashed back to the central command warship.

The fleet was still executing orders given before Hu Guang's departure, heading towards the direction of Sanyejie Island. However, despite its imposing size, the fleet lacked the vigor and momentum it had during mobilization. After witnessing the previous incidents and horrifying carnage firsthand, the entire fleet was enveloped by an inexplicable atmosphere. All the demon cultivators felt a sense of unease in their hearts, staring at the human figures still standing afar, their bodies and minds chilled to the bone.

"How could this be" On the flagship, Bao Youyou's eyes were bloodshot as she muttered to herself.

At the beginning, so many stars perished. It could still be said that it was due to their several months' strategic errors and being led astray by Lu Ye.

But now, even Yuan Che is dead!

and even in direct confrontation, they were completely powerless and killed without any resistance.

Though deeply saddened, Bao Youyou felt more relief than anything else. Thankfully, Lu Ye's previous target wasn't her; otherwise, it wouldn't be Yuan Che who died now, but her!

Hu Guang's lips turned pale, his fists clenched tightly. Although he didn't want to believe it, everything happened right before his eyes. This forced him to admit one thing: "We underestimated him."

The monkey king's response was right before his eyes, without any greed or rashness. However, he still couldn't escape death in the end. The root cause was that he hadn't accurately assessed the strength of the other party.

Recalling the events after the self-mobilized expedition to the Three Realms Island, it all started with Lu Ye initially coming alone to harass the fleet, intentionally leading them away for three months. Afterward, he mysteriously killed a returning cavalryman and wreaked havoc within the fleet. When the three of them returned to defend, he used words to entice and persuade them to leave him behind to guard the fleet, allowing Yuan Che and Bao Youyou to team up and pursue him relentlessly.

I thought fighting two with one would be no problem, but I ended up breaking a monkey wrench.

From the very beginning, Lu Ye controlled the pace of the battle. The Zi Xuan demon cultivator was completely led around by him. Every word and action of the opponent had a strong purpose. At first, the other party even deliberately pretended to be weak due to the loss of avatars. It's laughable that I didn't see through it at all.

Everyone says foxes are cunning, but compared to everything Lu Ye has done in such a short time, Hu Guang felt he was simply naive and pitiful. Lu Ye from Sanjie Island, this guy definitely has a very dirty and shrewd heart!

"What kind of skill was that" Bao Youyou asked in fear. Although she had luckily escaped, remembering the terrifying blade still made her shudder.

Hu Guang shook his head. He had no idea what kind of means that was. If even Yuan Che couldn't block that sword, then he and Bao Youyou would be unable to either. Perhaps the entire Zi Xuan only had Master Da Dao, Shi Xin, who could survive that sword blow.

No matter what means it was, such a secret technique must have inflicted great damage on him. Hu Guang stared in the direction where Lu Ye was, and he reached this conclusion because he found signs that Lu Ye had swallowed a large amount of spirit pills. This undoubtedly meant that after that sword strike, Lu Ye also needed to recover, which is why he didn't pursue him.

This might be a chance… Hu Guang's heart skipped a beat. Reasonably speaking, if his deductions were correct, then Lu Ye must be at the end of his rope right now. If he and Bao Youyou went back to fight, they might be able to make some moves as well.

He hesitated, however, to make this decision. If he made the wrong call, things would only get worse. He couldn't be sure if Lu Ye's current performance was intentional or not, if he was deliberately leading him to make this decision. With three Yue Yao already lost, the remaining two could still put up a fight together. But if they lost another, they would truly be picked off one by one.

His heart skipped a beat. Hu Guang suddenly realized a sad thing: in his confrontation with Lu Ye, he had fallen behind in thought. Because no matter what Lu Ye did, he felt the other was being deceptive. This made his eyes darken and his mood bitter.

On the other side, Lu Ye, who had already swallowed a large number of pills, saw the fleet getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

He truly wanted to lure Hu Guang and Bao Youyou out for a fight. Although he had already used the Blazing Sword, he couldn't use it again to instantly kill another powerful enemy. But he still had the Blood Sacrifice Avatar. As long as Hu Guang and Bao Youyou dared to come out and engage him, he could summon his Blood Sacrifice Avatar to form a grand formation. At that time, these two demonic race members, Yue Yao, would surely be in grave danger.

Once Hu Guang and Bao Youyou are dealt with, this vast fleet will be his prey. He can kill them however he pleases.

It's a pity that these two are avoiding battle right now, so I'll have to use other methods.

Under the gazes of countless demon cultivators, Lu Ye, who had remained steadfast in his position, finally moved. His figure transformed into a streak of light, chasing towards the fleet. He dodged the incoming attacks with ease and soon landed on the last tiger shark warship.

He drew out his Pianshan sword, his eyes locking with Hu Guang's at the front of the fleet. Beneath a facade of calmness and serenity, there was a palpable challenge in his gaze. With a strike of his long blade, he cleaved through the Tiger Shark warship's defenses as easily as slicing tofu.

Hu Guangchang let out a long sigh, finally confirming that Lu Ye had indeed been feigning weakness just now. Relieved that he hadn't taken the risk, he nonetheless had to make a decision that felt humiliating: "Retreat to the island!" his body softened as he collapsed. The Panshan Saber slipped out from within him, instantly staining the cloth on his chest crimson."Then... what now" The voice from the cave echoed with mocking amus...
