saint of humanity

Faced with Lu Sheng's powerful attack, Xue Jiu had managed to escape using a secret technique, but ultimately he was unable to avoid it all. This could be described as collateral damage, making him extremely unlucky.

A wave of regret washed over her. Why did she even think of running towards Lu Ye? He could have been safe and sound.

The result is that it has suffered a devastating blow.

Before the thought was even finished, Lu Ye suddenly vanished from his spot, leaving ripples in the void.

The next instant, Lu Ye appeared behind the puppet half-saint. The puppet half-saint had just been swept up by the aftershocks of Lu Saint's attack. Although he was not seriously injured, he was still dizzy and disoriented. Only now did he regain his footing.

Before he could react, Lu Ye had already slashed down at him with his sword.

Although the puppet demigod lacked intelligence, it still possessed instincts. Faced with this attack, it quickly parried with its spear, and the Panshan Blade struck the silver-white spear, sending it flying with immense force.

Si Shengya attacked from the side, taking advantage of the puppet's unsteady stance to slash down. Now the puppet half-saint had no way to resist or dodge, and could only activate his protective power to withstand the blow. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose in an instant.

This puppet was undoubtedly a newly born half-saint, whose aura was not yet stable. How could its foundation compare with that of a veteran half-saint like Si Shengya? It was defeated in just one exchange.

A sharp glint of light flashed, and Lu Ye appeared beside him without him even noticing.

The puppet demigod's protective power was shaken and could no longer resist. As blood splattered across the sky, its body was cleaved in two. Lu Ye reached out and scooped up both halves of the corpse, along with the silver spear, into his small world.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Qianliu, and said, "Attack the city!"

With Lu Sheng gone, no more True Saints will descend in the short term. The suddenly appearing puppet Half-Saint also perished under his and Si Shengya's combined attack. Now there is no more resistance.

Although he and Xue Jiu are both in poor condition at the moment, attacking Qianliu City should not be a problem. If Mo Duo and Ming Feng dare to fight out, Si Sheng will deal with them.

Inside Thousand Streams City, Mo Duo and Ming Feng's expressions shifted inexplicably.

From the sudden appearance of the puppet demigod, to Lu Sheng's abrupt arrival, injuring Lu Ye and Xue Jiu, to the puppet demigod's fall, only ten breaths had passed.

All these changes happened too fast, too fast, so fast that they didn't have time to react.

Only when Lu Ye's voice rang out did they realize their regret. If they had known this would happen, they should have rushed out of the city when Lu Sheng appeared. If they had been able to assist him, perhaps Lu Sheng could have killed Lu Ye today.

At worst, they could rescue that mysterious puppet demigod.

But now that Lu Sheng has disappeared and the puppet half-saint is dead, the situation has suddenly returned to its previous state.

Lu Ye and Xue Jiu looked to be in poor condition, but they dared not have any wild ideas.

Just as the two were filled with sorrow, thinking that they probably couldn't defend Thousand Streams City no matter what, another unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, powerful auras from all directions rapidly approached this place, dazzling and undisguised.

Lu Ye's expression turned grim.

Xue Jiu exclaimed in shock, "How... how come there are so many demigods?"

The four or five auras that suddenly appeared were clearly all at the half-saint level. But when did half-saint powerhouses become so common in this Star Abyss? The only half-saints should all be gathered here.

Moreover, although everyone could only sense four or five semi-saint auras, there were many more rays of light approaching from different directions within sight.

Judging from the speed at which those lights flashed by, it's no surprise that they were all cultivators at the semi-saint level.

“This is…” The Dragon Lord’s eyes flickered, and he vaguely discerned something.

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh: "Let's go!"

Today's plan to attack Qianliu has been aborted. With so many half-saints suddenly appearing, there is no way we can continue the siege with our current lineup.

Furthermore, if this is delayed any longer, there could be significant danger.

Xue Jiu had been waiting for these words, and upon hearing them, he immediately used the Blood Escape Technique to flee into the distance.

Lu Ye and the others followed.

"How can there be so many half-saints?" Si Shengsheng frowned, his face full of confusion. "And these guys are not from the Origin Realm."

Because none of the semi-saints he sensed had a familiar aura.

“Of course they are not from the Origin Realm…” Lu Ye clutched his chest, his expression somewhat pained.

Dragon Lord continued, "They should be from the Hehe Realm!"

Many powerful figures are hiding within the Hehe Realm, how could the Dragon Lord not know this? Previously, when the Hehe Realm underwent an anomaly and the aura of the Star Abyss invaded, those powerful figures had nowhere to hide. For example, Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi were introduced by Qin Feng and were able to have Lu Ye help them burn away the corrosive power within their bodies, maintain their rationality, and then leave the Hehe Realm to find a suitable place to break through their own limitations.

But many more left that original pure land at the very first moment of the changes in the Hehe Realm.

Once such powerful individuals enter the Star Abyss, they will inevitably reach their critical point in a short period of time, their intelligence will be completely eroded, and they will become puppets of the Abyss.

The puppet half-saint who was killed by Lu Ye and Si Shengya before was undoubtedly created in this way. However, that one was unlucky; he arrived the fastest and died the fastest.

Therefore, all these half-saints at present are puppets!
In terms of time, the Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord went into seclusion first, followed by the anomaly in the Hehe Realm.

The Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord have just emerged from seclusion. Logically speaking, the powerful figures in the Hehe Realm should not have had time to advance to the level of Half-Saint.

In fact, after advancing and breaking through, the Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord spent some time consolidating themselves before emerging from seclusion.

These puppet demigods didn't bother to stabilize themselves, most likely because they rushed over right after their breakthrough, so their auras were all very unstable.

"The Hehe Realm... I see!" Si Shengya suddenly realized. He was also a half-saint who fell from the Star Abyss into the Origin Realm. He was one of the ten city lords back then, so he naturally knew some of the secrets of the Hehe Realm.

Throughout history, it is no secret that many powerful individuals who are about to reach their limits have sought refuge in the Hehe Realm. Any cultivator with a little bit of influence could find out about it.

"But this number is far too many!" Xue Jiu, who was running at the front, shouted. "Who can handle so many at once?"

Fortunately, they acted quickly enough. If these half-saints had shown up earlier, they wouldn't have been able to take down Hundred Battles, and they probably wouldn't have even been able to protect Crimson Flame City.

“That’s not all!” Lu Ye replied in a deep voice.

In terms of understanding the situation inside the Hehe Realm, no one in the entire universe can compare to Qin Feng. As the master of the Battlefield, he has been stationed in the Hehe Realm for many years and knows exactly what hidden powerhouses are there.

The numbers Lu Ye learned from him were far more than what he could see at the moment.

He only regrets one thing now: when the Hehe Realm underwent its transformation, most of the powerful figures escaped from the Hehe Realm immediately.

Otherwise, Qin Feng could have found more people like Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi. In that case, Lu Ye could have saved even more people. There would be no need for others to be grateful or to demand repayment. It would simply mean that the more people he saved, the fewer enemies he would have.

Now it's too late, because he was unaware of the changes in the Hehe Realm. By the time he entered, it was too late. Only Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi, who had received the news, were waiting for him.

"They're still chasing after us!" Xue Jiu looked back and saw that the puppet half-saints were like maggots clinging to his bones, which greatly angered Xue Jiu.

Since leaving the Origin Realm and getting involved with Lu Ye, he has been invincible and undefeated. He had been in the Star Abyss for so many years and had always been the one being suppressed. When had he ever been so triumphant?

This slight setback ignited a fierce anger within him, making him wish he could immediately turn back and fight those puppets to the death.

Compared to these puppet demigods, he could barely be considered a senior. He was confident that even though he was injured at the moment, his strength was no less than any of them. As long as he seized the opportunity, he would definitely be able to kill one of them.

Of course, he would never admit that he coveted the treasures held by those puppets.

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Ye, who had caught up, but saw that he had no intention of fighting, so she could only suppress her thoughts.

The current situation is indeed not suitable for a confrontation. Who knows how many puppet half-saints have come this time? There might be more on the way. If we get entangled here and can't determine life or death in a short time, it will be bad if enemy reinforcements arrive later.

Of course, we must also be wary of Modo and Mingfeng.

These two probably never expected that Qianliu City, which they had already planned to give up, would be saved in such an unbelievable way.

This is indeed the case.

Inside Thousand Streams City, as Lu Ye and the others retreated, the puppet half-saints relentlessly pursued them, and the once bustling Thousand Streams City suddenly fell silent.

Modo and Mingfeng looked at each other, both somewhat confused about the situation.

"Where did those demigods come from?" Modo asked in surprise. Like Si Shengya, he didn't notice any familiar faces among the demigods.

If he doesn't know, how could the Mingfeng know?

Fortunately, there is still the lonely bright moon.

"Gentlemen, those demigods should be from the Hehe Realm."

"The Realm of Union?" Mo Duo frowned. He had been inside the Realm of Union before. It was a very special space, but why were there so many half-saints there?
Knowing that he was unaware of Xingyuan's situation, Gu Mingyue gave a brief explanation and continued, "Previously, Lu Ye called out 'puppet,' and I observed that the first half-saint who appeared did indeed appear dull-witted and stiff, as if he had lost his mind."

Both Modo and Mingfeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"So, these demigods are all puppets controlled by Yuan? And they've all just recently advanced and broken through."

No wonder they felt that the aura of those half-saints was very unstable, and none of them had any intention of communicating with them. They all rushed towards Lu Ye and the others as soon as they appeared.

They were led to believe that there was some deep-seated hatred between the two sides, but it turned out that the truth was actually like this.

“Modo…” the bee called softly.

Mo Duo understood immediately: "We should definitely join in the fun! Let's go!" (End of Chapter)
