saint of humanity

As Lu Ye was packing up his spoils, Si Shengya glanced at him slightly.

Although the battle was brief, he vaguely sensed that Lu Ye's strength had improved by leaps and bounds recently.

This was somewhat difficult for him to understand, because it seemed that his strength had been growing rapidly ever since he saw Lu Ye again, seemingly without any limit.

However, this is ultimately a good thing for our side. The stronger Lu Ye is, the more difficult it will be for the enemy.

Composing himself, he slowly said, "Something's strange."

Lu Ye toyed with Fei's treasure in his hand, and after confirming that there was nothing particularly attractive about it, he put it into his inner world to devour and refine it. Upon hearing this, he asked, "What's strange about it?"

Si Shengya looked around and said, "Logically speaking, after so much time, Fei should have encountered other Origin Realm Half-Saints or Puppets. Why is he still all alone here?"

Before being summoned by Lu Ye, he had already prepared himself to join forces with Lu Ye to fight against many powerful enemies, but after appearing, he found that there was only Fei.

Lu Ye said, "There's nothing strange about it. Those turbulent void currents are like random teleportation arrays. Even if Fei encounters other half-saints and wants to travel together, it's impossible. Because once they use the turbulent void currents to teleport to other void gaps, they will still be scattered to different locations."

This is also why Lu Ye has only faced one enemy all the way through the battles. Unless these guys stay put after meeting, he is basically alone.

But he is different. Si Shengya has always been hidden in his inner world. For example, just now, Lu Ye can summon him directly when needed, so that no matter what kind of enemy they face, they can form a two-against-one situation.

"I see!" Si Shengya exclaimed in understanding, deeply moved. "Old Tree's arrangements were truly flawless."

In fact, when Elder Tree made these arrangements around Phoenix Nest, he didn't think too much about it. It was just for defense. But these arrangements alone are not enough. There must be a strong person like Lu Ye who is capable of killing enemies for these arrangements to be truly effective.

After a few words of casual conversation, Si Shengya was once again taken back into his inner world. Lu Ye continued his search for Xue Wei's trail while simultaneously activating the power of the Talent Tree to devour and refine the treasures to nourish the Fang.

Over the next period of time, he made some gains, but whether it was his bad luck or Xuewei's good luck, they never actually met.

Until a certain moment, when Lu Ye was searching in a void crevice, the surrounding space suddenly trembled violently and continued to twist and change.

He frowned slightly and sighed softly.

Such a sign undoubtedly indicates that the arrangement of the Primordial Wutong has failed, and this broken space needs to be restored to normal.

These signs actually started appearing more than half a month ago, but they weren't very obvious each time. This time, however, they were clearly different.

Sure enough, in just about an hour, the void gap where Lu Ye was located was as if smoothed out by an invisible hand, and everything around him gradually returned to normal.

One figure after another appeared in Lu Ye's field of vision, scattered in various places.

These were none other than the many powerful enemies who had previously been lost in the crevices of the void.

The next instant, Lu Ye noticed a sharp gaze fixed on him from a certain direction. When he turned to look, he met Xue Wei's fiery eyes.

Without any hesitation, Xue Wei immediately summoned her blood-red spear, transforming it into a streak of blood light as she pounced on Lu Ye.

Another figure darted from another direction; it was none other than Xingzhou.

Two murderous intents locked onto Lu Ye from afar, causing him to frown deeply. He turned and fled into the distance, giving it his all.

He wasn't afraid of Xue Wei and Xing Zhou, but of Yuan.

This is no longer some hard-to-locate void crevice. There are still many puppet half-saints alive all around. If a true saint were to suddenly descend at this time, he would have no way to deal with it.

Naturally, we should stay far away from them.

Since Xue Wei and Xing Zhou had taken action, the remaining Origin Realm Half-Saints and Puppet Half-Saints naturally followed suit.

However, the huge gap in strength made their speeds different.

Lu Ye fled with all his might, and Xue Wei and Xing Zhou pursued him relentlessly. The rest, whether they were Origin Realm Half-Saints or Puppet Half-Saints, could not catch up with him.

Half an hour later, Lu Ye had no idea how far he had run from the Phoenix Nest. He could sense from afar that only Xue Wei and Xing Zhou, two persistent pests, remained behind him; the other enemies had long been left behind.

He felt much relieved!
Given the current situation, something big is likely to happen.

All he needs to do now is summon Si Shengya and have him entangle Xingzhou, then he can leave Xuewei alone. With his rapid improvement in strength over the past few months, if he manages things properly, he can definitely make Xuewei suffer.

With this thought in mind, he didn't hesitate any longer. As he raised his hand, a vortex appeared around him.

Stepping out of my career!

"Huh?" Xue Wei was taken aback, genuinely confused about the current situation and how Si Shengya had appeared, but she quickly realized: "So that's the plan!"

So why didn't Lu Ye flee to the Phoenix Nest, but instead led her and Xing Zhou here? It turns out he had helpers.

"Beware of ambushes!" Xue Wei was indeed meticulous. Since Si Shengya had shown up, the other half-saints around Lu Ye might also show up, or perhaps they had laid an ambush here in advance, waiting for them to walk into the trap.

However, the latter scenario is almost impossible, because the surrounding space is completely empty, without even a meteorite, making it impossible for anyone to hide.

On the other side, Si Shengya appeared and exchanged a glance with Lu Ye. Without saying a word, he summoned the Shattering Sky Blade, and then he and Lu Ye turned around at the same time to meet the approaching enemy.

As he rushed forward, Lu Ye raised his hand, and a flash of black light appeared in his palm as he held a knife in his hand.

This battle must be fought quickly. Although he has lured Xuewei and Xingzhou here, the other enemies will catch up soon. If he cannot kill Xuewei in a short time, then everything will be over!

Therefore... he has to give it his all.

The Heavenly Needle had already been secretly activated, waiting only for the distance to be close enough to give Xue Wei a surprise. Behind her, a blood-red banner was waving, which was none other than the Wuxiang Dingjun Banner, which had already been activated.

This treasure can't bring Lu Ye much improvement right now, but it's still an improvement nonetheless.

The distance between them closed rapidly, and a major battle was imminent.

Just as Lu Ye was about to activate the Heavenly Needle, a sudden change occurred.

As he moved forward side by side with Xue Wei, Xing Zhou, his eyes filled with murderous intent, suddenly turned to look at Xue Wei. His golden pupils suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and then his whole body seemed to transform into a burning sun, radiating golden light.

Lu Ye only vaguely saw a flash of golden light, and then heard Xue Wei exclaim in surprise: "Xing Zhou! What are you doing!"

As the light faded, Lu Ye frowned slightly, because a golden chain was wrapped around Xue Wei's body, greatly reducing her speed. Not only that, but even her aura seemed to have weakened.

The golden chains binding Xue Wei resembled a small golden snake, seemingly possessing immense burning power. As they bound this half-saint of the vampire race, they continuously extinguished her protective aura, causing the light on her body to dim and flicker.

Xingzhou remained silent, but delivered a fierce punch to Xuewei's back.

Xue Wei's chest bulged almost visibly, and a mouthful of blood gushed out involuntarily. Under Xing Zhou's sudden attack, her body involuntarily crashed into Lu Ye and Si Shengya.

Lu Ye's eyes lit up, and he naturally knew what had happened.

This clearly shows that his words to Xingzhou in the void had an effect. The First Half-Saint had already made up his mind and took concrete actions to express his position.

This is undoubtedly good news.

"Kill!" Si Shengya shouted in a low voice, his expression calm, as if he was not surprised by this scene.

Flames erupted from the Shattered Sky Blade, and Lu Ye attacked from both sides, their figures converging in front of Xue Wei and crossing over each other.

One black and one red, the two blades gleamed like a pair of scissors, instantly severing all of Blood Rose's life force.

It's a pity that this strongest half-saint of the vampire clan probably never expected that Xingzhou would betray her at such a crucial moment and launch a sneak attack on her.

No one could withstand the sneak attack from the First Half-Saint of Xingyuan; she was severely injured in an instant.

Both Lu Ye and Si Shengya are stronger than her; in other words, she is inferior to none of these three enemies.

In such a situation, where would there be any chance of survival?
The head flew off, and Xuewei's vision kept turning upside down. The headless corpse convulsed, but its eyes stared fiercely at Xingzhou beside it amidst the upheavals until they went completely dark.

Lu Ye stopped and quickly turned back, collecting Xue Wei's corpse and her blood-red spear.

Si Shengya looked at Xingzhou from the side and said, "Fellow Daoist made the right choice."

Xingzhou's expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful; he simply said, "I hope so."

The deed is done, so there's no going back. Attacking Xue Wei was his stance, and also his pledge of allegiance. No matter what the future holds, a powerful figure like Xing Zhou will not regret his decision today.

Life offers many choices, each leading to a different direction. Until the very end, no one knows whether a choice was right or wrong.

"The pursuers are coming. I'll help you kill them!" Xingzhou said, and then turned back the way he came.

Lu Ye and Si Shenghua exchanged a glance, paused briefly, and then each chased after the others.

Meanwhile, the pursuers, who were all lagging behind and had no idea that Xue Wei had died in battle, were all chasing after her with all their might. However, before they even reached the destination, they saw Xing Zhou's figure turning back in the distance.

The leading Origin Realm Half-Saints all looked puzzled upon seeing this, and one of them called out from afar, "Fellow Daoist Xingzhou, what's the situation? Where is Xuewei?"

"Fellow Daoist Xuewei has fallen into a trap. I've come to meet you and rescue you!" Xingzhou lied without batting an eye, and as he spoke, he had already darted to a spot not far in front of the enemy group.

The half-saint who asked the question was immediately startled and hurriedly said, "Blood Rose can't be harmed!"

On this side of the Origin Realm, only Xue Wei can currently take charge. If something happens to Xue Wei, they really don't know who to rely on. (End of Chapter)
