saint of humanity

Although the two dragon clan demigods were no match for Mingfeng, they were perfectly capable of merely restraining her.

Having seized this opportunity, Lu Ye had already clashed with Mo Duo.

Mo Duo felt a chill run down his spine, because Lu Ye's strength completely exceeded his expectations. Among the many half-saints in the Origin Realm, his strength was not top-notch, but it was still quite remarkable. However, at this moment, he felt that he was somewhat no match for Lu Ye.

He finally understood why Zhifei had been so miserably suppressed by Lu Ye before. Zhifei's strength was inferior to his, and even he was somewhat outmatched at the moment, so how could Zhifei possibly resist?

It's unbelievable that this human has grown to such an extent in such a short time.

You should know that Mo Duo had seen Lu Ye in the Origin Realm before. At that time, Lu Ye was only a Dao Integration cultivator. Now, only a few years have passed, how could he have grown to this level?
He secretly thought to himself that, in terms of strength alone, Lu Ye might be stronger than the deceased Xue Yuan.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad. Even though he was no match for Lu Ye, he had plenty of ways to protect himself. But ever since Lu Ye set his sights on him, he started to feel uneasy, as if his life was hanging by a thread.

This is an instinctive premonition.

Judging from the current situation, Lu Ye probably has some hidden means to kill him. Otherwise, there's no reason for this guy to ignore Xue Jiu's life and death and come to keep an eye on him, and even specially summon two dragon clan half-saints to restrain Ming Feng.

Once this thought is conceived, there is no need for further hesitation.

The next instant, the four puppet half-saints who had been relentlessly pursuing Xue Jiu suddenly changed direction and rushed towards him.

Xue Jiu was taken aback.

He couldn't understand why these puppet demigods would abandon their siege and fight against them after they charged out. After all, puppets have no intelligence and only act on instinct, so there was no reason for them to make such a change.

Seeing this scene now, he suddenly realized what was going on. While mustering his courage, he chased after the four puppet half-saints, shouting, "Be careful, they can control these puppets!"

As soon as he spoke, Lu Ye couldn't help but frown.

He sent Xue Jiu to lead the charge, using the sea of ​​blood as cover, and summoned the three and five ancestors of the dragon clan to restrain Ming Feng, all in order to create an opportunity for a one-on-one battle with Mo Duo.

Now that the opportunity has arrived, four puppet demigods have come to their aid.

Once Modo reunites with these four puppet half-saints, even if he joins forces with Xue Jiu, they will likely find it difficult to achieve anything.

A quick win!

As the thought crossed his mind, the long sword in his hand spun like the moon, and the already abundant power of time within him suddenly became even more abundant. The phantom of a small tower suddenly appeared behind him.

Tower of Time!

This treasure is not only effective in accelerating the passage of time; it is a supreme treasure in itself. It may not have any special effect in the hands of others, but in the hands of Lu Ye, who has cultivated the Way of Time, it can enhance the power of his Way of Time.

In that instant, Modo's thoughts suddenly became much more stagnant.

He clearly saw Lu Ye's long sword sweeping towards him and wanted to react, but he was always a step too slow.

The blade struck Modo successfully, and only then was Modo able to unleash his power to resist the influence of the temporal force and regain his senses.

The next instant, he felt the long sword that had struck him vibrate violently, and under such an attack, his protective Dao power began to melt away rapidly, like snowflakes under the scorching sun.

Mo Duo was terrified. His blood and qi surged suddenly, and his Dao power flowed endlessly to replenish his defenses. Even so, he was still pierced by the sharp blade, and the long sword almost severed his body.

"Ah!" Modo exclaimed, turning to retreat.

He never expected that he would suffer such injuries in such a short time after his confrontation with Lu Ye. Although there was a difference in their strength, it shouldn't be this great.

Even though he knew that Lu Ye had used some kind of secret technique, which seemed to have greatly depleted his strength and that he probably wouldn't have much energy left in the next breath or two, he didn't dare to have too many thoughts. In this life-or-death crisis, this demon race half-saint followed his instinct for survival.

As expected, Lu Ye had no intention of pursuing. As his strength gradually increased, the consumption of the Zhen Dao secret technique became more and more terrifying, and the burden on himself also became greater and greater.

Just as Mo Duo had thought, after that strike, Ye from the inner region indeed had little strength left.

In a clash between strong individuals, a breath or two is enough to determine life or death. If Mo Duo were to rise up with his remaining strength and advance instead of retreating, he could indeed cause Lu Ye considerable trouble.

Of course, this is on the premise that Lu Ye doesn't have any trump cards up his sleeve.

Just as Mo Duo was about to retreat, Lu Ye raised his hand and pinched a point of golden light. He stared coldly at Mo Duo, poured his Dao power into it, and the golden light trembled slightly in his hand before suddenly disappearing.

"The Heavenly Needle!" Modo cried out in terror.

Upon seeing the golden light and sensing the familiar aura, he recognized the treasure. After all, the Feather Clan's Sky-Weaving Needle was very famous in the Origin Realm, and this time, Zhi Fei was traveling with them.

He knew, of course, that after Zhifei was killed, the Heavenly Needle fell into the hands of Lu Ye and the others.

But no matter what, he couldn't understand how Lu Ye could refine this treasure in such a short time and control it at this moment!
He finally understood why he had that uneasy feeling when he saw Lu Ye.

That's the root of everything!
Modo frantically rallied his own power.

However, even if his protective Dao power had just been broken by Lu Ye and he had no time to replenish and repair it in a short period of time, even if he were truly unharmed, he would not dare to take the blow of the Heavenly Needle head-on.

He tried to hide, but they were too close.

This golden light, like a nail, pierced through Mo Duo's fragile protective power and nailed directly to his forehead, almost disappearing into the top of his head.

Mo Duo froze, unable to move, mainly because he was powerless to move, as all his strength was now focused on resisting the Heavenly Needle driven into his forehead.

Under such a struggle, the Heavenly Needle drilled inward like a drill bit, but there seemed to be a great obstacle in front of it, making it difficult to advance even an inch.

Barring other factors, Mo Duo would most likely be able to withstand the attack from the Heavenly Needle. Although he would be injured, it would not be fatal.

But how could Lu Ye sit idly by? After the attack of the Heavenly Needle, he recovered after a breath and charged at Mo Duo with his sword.

The demon demigod was filled with terror.

The current situation is that he has to exert all his strength to barely resist the power of the Heavenly Needle. It won't be long; he only needs to hold out for two or three breaths until the remaining power of the Heavenly Needle is exhausted, and then he will be able to survive.

But Lu Ye had already attacked, so how could he have two or three breaths to spare?
However, if he were to confront Lu Ye, he would be unable to deal with the Heavenly Needle. Faced with these two crises, Mo Duo felt that his future was bleak.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw four figures rushing towards him. All his hopes were pinned on those puppet half-saints, hoping they could arrive in time to stop Lu Ye, so that he would have a chance to live.

Lu Ye had already unleashed a slash at him from afar!

With this strike, space was flattened, and the sharp blade slashed into Modo's shoulder blade. After a slight resistance, it broke through like a hot knife through butter, cleaving Modo in two diagonally.

The Heavenly Needle also pierced through his forehead and emerged from the back of his head.

The powerful vitality was extinguished in an instant!
Demon Half-Saint, Modo die!

This sudden turn of events took the Mingfeng by surprise.

He was entangled with two dragon clan demigods. Although he had the upper hand, he dared not let his guard down. Although the Third Ancestor and the Fifth Ancestor had no supreme treasures to use, the dragon clan itself had a great racial advantage. Their punches and kicks were terrifyingly powerful. Ming Feng would not be happy if he was hit by even one of them.

So he didn't actually have much energy to pay attention to Modo's side.

But after hearing Modo shout "Weaving Heaven Needle," his only companion died!

Thus, of the first batch of five half-saints who came from the Origin Realm, apart from the traitor Xue Jiu, only he remained all alone.

Weaving Heaven Needle! Like Mo Duo, he simply couldn't understand why Lu Ye was able to unleash the power of the Weaving Heaven Needle in such a short time.

Such treasures, don't they need time to be refined? How come it seems like Lu Ye could use them as soon as he got them?

Before he could finish his thought, he felt a sharp gaze sweep over him. It was Lu Ye, who had already collected Mo Duo's corpse, turning his head to stare at him.

Mingfeng was quick to react. Without the slightest hesitation, after enduring a blow from the Third Ancestor Yang Lie, a cloud of blood mist burst from his body, and he quickly fled outwards.

From the outbreak of the great war until now, only twenty breaths have passed.

Although only Modo died and the other puppet demigods were all unharmed, Mingfeng knew that their side was doomed and if they continued to stay, even he himself would not have a good end.

Although there were many puppet half-saints, they ultimately obeyed their orders. With Mo Duo dead, the puppets that originally belonged to his control would completely follow their instincts and become unreliable.

As the saying goes, "As long as the green hills remain, the stove will burn as much firewood as you like," he certainly understood the principle of preserving his life for future use.

As Mingfeng made its move, the four puppets who were fighting against Si Shengya did not hesitate to withdraw from the battle and each used their secret techniques to chase after Mingfeng.

Even on the battlefield where Dragon Lord and the others were located, three puppet half-saints suddenly broke away.

The pressure on Long Zun and the others was instantly reduced.

After a moment of surprise, Si Shengya immediately gave chase.

On the other side, Lu Ye also wanted to chase after Ming Feng, but before he could make any move, the four puppet half-saints pounced on him.

These four were originally there to deal with Xue Jiu, and were part of a group controlled by Mo Duo. After Lu Ye set his sights on Mo Duo, he sent four puppets to provide reinforcements.

But in the end, he didn't make it.

Even though Mo Duo is dead, the four puppets are still following his last order—to surround and kill Lu Ye!
With four half-saints and four supreme treasures, how could Lu Ye possibly be a match for them, even with his strength growing further?

Moreover, although the time it took him to kill Modo was short, the energy he expended was considerable.

This exchange resulted in several more wounds on his body.

Blood feud has arrived!

With a sweep of the Nine Heavens Thunder Swamp Sword, one of the half-saints was enveloped in the sword's aura, shouting, "Lu Ye, this is all I can do for you!"

Lu Ye had no time to pay attention to him; even with Xue Jiu entangled with one of the puppets, he would still have to devote all his energy to fighting three at once. (End of Chapter)
