saint of humanity

Ultimately, thanks to Xue Jiu's intervention in restraining one of the puppet half-saints, Lu Ye's situation was no longer as dangerous as before, even though fighting three opponents alone was difficult.

Ten breaths later, he suddenly sensed a half-saint aura disappearing not far away.

However, the battle group that included Dragon Lord and others achieved results.

Originally, the four Dragon Lords had entangled a total of six puppet half-saints, but after the Ming Bee escaped, three of them followed, leaving only three.

With Si Shengyuan, who had to spare time, coming to help, how could the remaining three puppet half-saints be a match for them?
In a very short time, one of them was killed.

Already at a disadvantage, with one of the three gone, the remaining two puppets became increasingly weak and, after a few more breaths, fell one after the other.

On the other side, when the first puppet half-saint was killed, Si Shenghua came to support Lu Ye. The Shattering Sky Blade unleashed boundless sword energy, covering two of them and dragging them into his offensive.

Lu Ye's spirits lifted.

Fighting three at once was a bit of a challenge for him, but in a one-on-one fight, how could these newly promoted puppet half-saints be a match for him?
The sword strikes were like a surging tide, the Dao power was flowing, and the attack was ferocious.

With his current strength, dealing with an enemy like a puppet half-saint was not difficult. After only a few exchanges, the Panshan Blade broke through the enemy's protective power, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone on his body.

The injuries were already quite severe, yet the puppet remained completely unaware.

However, in the next instant, the puppet's aura suddenly weakened, as Lu Ye activated the seal of the power of sorrow.

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel pleased. Although Shang and Liao were both soldiers, their innate abilities were different. Shang's power was mainly for sealing, while Liao's power was for tearing and unbearable pain. It was hard to say which was better or worse; they each had their own strengths.

He had been somewhat worried about whether the seal of the power of sorrow would be effective against a half-saint level expert, but now it seems it is indeed useful.

Come to think of it, Shang was already a treasure when it was still alive, and after being nurtured by Ba Qiu for many years, its quality was also extremely good. Even a half-saint could not ignore such power.

Already weaker than others, and now with a portion of its power sealed away, how can this puppet demigod possibly survive?
As Lu Ye's longsword fell, blood splattered across the sky.

Lu Ye reached out and grabbed the corpse, storing it in his small world. He then dashed off towards Xue Jiu.

For some unknown reason, Xue Jiu shouted upon seeing Lu Ye arrive to provide support, "Leave it to me, don't worry about me here!"

Lu Ye had already charged right up to them, so why would he listen to him?

With their combined efforts, the two successfully dealt with the puppet demigod.

Xue Jiu moved with lightning speed, grabbing the puppet's treasure in one swift motion, his face lighting up with excitement.

Lu Ye couldn't help but glance at him, finally understanding why Xue Jiu insisted on fighting this puppet one-on-one. He clearly had his eye on the puppet's treasure and was afraid of having it snatched away.

There was no time to get entangled with him. After dealing with this, they immediately headed towards Si Shengya's location.

However, before he even reached his position, Si Shengya had already decisively killed a puppet. His strength and foundation were slightly stronger than Lu Ye's, so it was not surprising that he could achieve such a result.

Once Lu Ye arrived at the location and joined forces with him, the remaining puppet would also find it difficult to survive alone.

The battle group that Long Zun and others were in also ended successfully. After Si Shengyuan killed one of the puppets, they only had two enemies left.

With four against two, it's a piece of cake.

With that, the dust settled. In this battle, seven half-saints were killed in a short period of time. Even though they were all puppets who had lost their own intelligence, they were still half-saint level experts.

Each person possessed a priceless treasure, and the sheer abundance of their spoils was astonishing.

Normally, even if one side has the advantage in a battle between half-saints, it shouldn't be as devastating as an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Each half-saint has cultivated for many years and has no shortage of means to protect or escape.

If you can't win, can't you at least run away?

However, these puppets were different after all. After being abandoned, they all simply followed Mordo's last instructions and fought to the death, making it difficult to ensure their safety.

After the battle subsided, Lu Ye turned to look in the direction the Ming Bee had fled, his brows furrowing slightly.

“We can’t catch up.” Si Shengya stood beside Lu Ye and spoke softly.

Lu Ye nodded. Of course he knew they couldn't catch up. The speed of a half-saint was incredibly fast. Although it didn't take them long to deal with the remaining enemies, it still delayed them for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. That was enough time for Ming Feng to escape a great distance. In fact, if he simply wanted to survive, he could have used the Hehe Realm as a transit point to escape back to Qianliu City.

It's a shame we couldn't leave Mingfeng here today, since we weren't able to kill the snake.

Moreover, a second batch of semi-saints has already descended from the Origin Realm!
Even more puppet demigods are about to appear.

If these three forces were to unite, the situation would be very bad, and judging from the current situation, it would be only a matter of time before they merged.

"Lu Ye." Dragon Lord stepped forward. "Those demigods who came to our aid, whom we observed earlier, have all retreated. Should we pursue them?"

Previously, news was received that several puppet demigods had rushed to Dragon City from various directions. They were obviously promoted one after another. Now, however, they have suddenly retreated, which undoubtedly means that they are all under Yuan's control.

Because relying solely on the puppets themselves, they cannot make such accurate judgments.

Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need." Even if they could catch up now, there was no guarantee that the puppets wouldn't have joined forces with the Ming Bees.

Furthermore, if Yuan's consciousness had become so clear, he could have guided the newly arrived Origin Realm Half-Saints to meet with Mingfeng.

The Dragon Lord nodded, then suddenly turned his head, his expression solemn, and bowed to Yang Lie and Zhu Pang: "The current Dragon Lord, your unworthy descendant Yang Fengxian, greets the Third Ancestor and the Fifth Ancestor!"

Even the Phoenix Lord followed suit and respectfully bowed.

Dragons and phoenixes have been one family since ancient times. Although they are different races, the ancestors of the dragon race can also be said to be phoenixes.

Yang Lie nodded slightly, looking at the Dragon Lord with a gratified expression, and raised his hand, saying, "No need for formalities."

Zhu Pang chuckled and asked, "Which generation are you from?" When he sealed himself away in the Ancestral Abyss's forbidden zone, there was no Yang Fengxian.

The Dragon Lord quickly and respectfully replied.

Several powerful dragons were talking here, while Xue Jiu listened in stunned silence.

What I'm seeing is simply unbelievable. The third and fifth generation ancestors of the dragon clan have appeared? These are ancient relics who have lived for countless years.

He had always known that Longcheng had a profound history, but he never imagined it could be this profound.

If the third and fifth generation ancestors can emerge, what about the other ancestors? The dragon race has a long history; how many powerful figures are still hidden?
He had long heard that the dragon and phoenix clans had long lifespans, but now he realized that the rumors were unfounded. He had always thought that those ancient dragons had all died of old age...

"Lu Ye!" Coming back to his senses, Xue Jiu suddenly remembered the important matter, "Among the half-saints who came from the Origin Realm this time, are there any vampires?"

Lu Ye was toying with a treasure he had obtained from the puppet half-saint, and upon hearing this, he said, "Yes, there is."

The message from Yang Zhao clearly indicated that among the semi-saints who came this time, there were still vampires present.

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiu's eyes lit up: "Then why don't we take advantage of our current strength and go and besiege those Origin Realm Half-Saints? They just arrived and know nothing about the situation in the Star Abyss. I can lead the charge, lull them into a false sense of security, and give you an opportunity."

His enthusiasm for making such a suggestion undoubtedly stems from his interest in the bloodline of that unknown vampire demigod.

Lu Ye was also considering this matter, because given the current situation, if he couldn't go after Ming Feng, he had to do something instead of just waiting around.

Lu Ye didn't really take those puppet half-saints seriously. Their biggest advantage was their large number, but their true strength was only at the lowest level of half-saints.

The key is that those Origin Realm Half-Saints are not to be trifled with. If we can eliminate this group of Origin Realm Half-Saints, the situation will be much better.

Lu Ye hesitated because the number of Origin Realm Half-Saints who came this time was more than before, a total of nine!

While their side currently has quite a few demigods, there are only nine of them. Apart from him, Si Shengya, and Xue Jiu, the rest are all newly promoted demigods. If they were to fight, they would definitely be no match for each other, unless he and Si Shengya could quickly kill one or two of them and establish some advantage.

"The vampire who came this time is a woman. Do you know her?" Lu Ye turned to look at Xue Jiu. Although he had spent some time with Xue Jiu in the vampire realm, he had been cultivating the poison of the Myriad Poison Pearl during that time and never went out. So he really didn't know anything about the situation of the vampires.

"A female vampire?" Xue Jiu was taken aback, then his expression changed slightly: "No way?"

Judging from his expression, he seemed to have remembered something.

Si Sheng said from the side, "Among the Origin Realm, the number of Blood Clan Half-Saints is the largest. Although there are a few Female Half-Saints, there is probably only one who can lead the way out of the Origin Realm and take on this great responsibility."

"Blood Rose!" Blood Blade clicked his tongue.

"Very strong?" Lu Ye frowned. Looking at Xue Jiu's expression, he seemed to be very wary of Xue Wei. You know, this guy didn't have this expression when he faced Xue Yuan before.

“Very strong!” Si Shengya nodded. “I was injured by her before. In terms of strength, she is no weaker than me!”

That's really strong. Just this one Blood Rose is probably enough to keep Si Shengya occupied.

Si Shengya then asked, "What about the other half-saints? What races do they belong to, and what do they look like?"

Lu Ye replied, "The people arranged over there are not close enough to see clearly. I only know that there is one insectoid among them, whose wings on his back seem to be missing a piece, and another one should be a golden-eyed person. These three are walking at the front. As for the others, I don't know. I only know that there are nine of them."

“A Zerg Half-Saint with a missing piece of his wing…” Si Shengsheng’s expression was solemn: “That’s Fei of the Zerg, his strength is only slightly inferior to mine, as for that Golden-Eyed Clan member…”

At this point, Si Shengya paused for a moment before continuing, "There isn't actually a specific ranking of the strength of the Origin Realm's Half-Saints, but the universally acknowledged strongest is not one from the Blood Clan or Insect Clan, nor from the Demon Clan or Feather Clan, but Xingzhou of the Golden-Eyed Clan!"
