Seizing the opportunity, Lu Ye dashed several steps towards Dong Shu's night face and slashed down with his long sword infused with spiritual energy.




At the moment the long blade descended, a powerful force surged from Dong Shuyè's side. It was unknown what kind of spell Dong Shuyè had used, but under that repulsive force, Lü Yè was pushed back several dozen feet before barely managing to stop himself.


As he looked up again, Uncle Dong had already gotten up. He raised his hand to cover his chest, and a huge wound on his right side was clearly visible. Blood gushed out, instantly staining his shirt red.


Fear contorted his face, for just now Lu Ye had almost killed him with a single strike. His own spiritual power was in disarray for a brief moment, leaving him completely powerless to resist. Thankfully, at the last second, he regained control of himself.


Although he was lucky to be alive, his injuries were extremely severe.


"Ha…" Uncle Dong staggered, and at this moment, he finally understood why Lu Ye had led him here and immediately sealed the exit. This wasn't where Lu Ye had chosen for him to die, this was clearly where...


He finds it amusing that he always thinks he can kill the other person with his own strength, unaware that arrogance is the root of failure.


The enemy charged at him again, showing no intention of giving him a moment's rest. Just like his previous attacks, this one was even more ruthless and aggressive. From the start, the enemy hadn't uttered a single word, only relentlessly seeking opportunities to advance and strike with his sword.


This is what a life-or-death struggle should be like, right?

In the midst of those spells' attacks, Lu Ye rushed forward, slashing with his blade.


The golden light shattered. Even though Dong Shuye activated a spiritual barrier at the moment of the shattering, it still couldn't completely block this fierce sword strike.


This blade began at his right shoulder and ended at his left lower abdomen, almost cleaving him in two.

Before Dong Shu could cast another spell, Lu Ye's second strike had already been unleashed. His powerful resistance once again swept over him, sending him flying several meters away.


When standing firm, Uncle Dong was already floating in mid-air, his spiritual energy surging and burning. However, having learned from past experiences, he wouldn't foolishly stand still. Under Lu Ye's gaze, he was floating erratically in the air at a pace similar to jogging.


Lu Ye raised his hand, a fat bird flapping its wings and flying up. It missed, accuracy has always been a major problem, also the reason why Lu Ye doesn't often use spells to attack enemies.


<<>>


That could be said to be Dong Shu Ye's biggest mistake. His injuries weren't too serious, but the consequences brought on by the subsequent chaos in his spiritual energy were unbearable for him.


Uncle Dong's eyes locked with Lu Ye's, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he raised his hand to touch the battlefield mark on his arm. The mark immediately flared red, and Lu Ye knew something was wrong. This guy was probably going to call for backup. He instantly increased the frequency of his spells.


As the light from the mark on Dong Shu's backhand subsided, the aura surrounding him suddenly dimmed. He fell to the ground with a thud.


Lu Ye was a little confused about this situation, but he quickly reacted. This guy had exhausted his spiritual energy!


Dong Shu, at his peak state, naturally wouldn't exhaust his spiritual energy this quickly. After all, he was a cultivator who had opened over one hundred and eight acupoints, with twice the spiritual energy reserves of Lu Ye. He had expended too much chasing Lu Ye before, and entering this cave to stop Lu Ye from approaching, constantly casting those sustained spells, even with abundant spiritual reserves, couldn't withstand the strain.


<<

With a loud thud, Uncle Dong fell to the ground, feeling like his whole body was about to break.




Footsteps echoed from the side, and Lu Ye walked over slowly with his sword drawn. He didn't think Dong Shuye was putting on a show for him. Falling from such a height wouldn't be easy, especially considering Dong Shuye was already seriously injured.


In other words, this guy is truly out of steam.

The land leaf raised his sword, holding the hilt reversed, aiming at the man's heart. With a swift stroke, he plunged the blade down.

"I'll be waiting for you on Huangquan Road!" At the last moment, Uncle Dong almost gritted his teeth as he uttered these words. His rigid body relaxed, and he fell silent, his eyes wide open.




A faint red glow drifted out and fell into Lu Ye's palm.




He stared at Dong Shuye's corpse, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.


<<>>


"Wow, he's already so much stronger than he was two and a half months ago!"


And...


"I haven't used my full power yet." Lu Ye muttered softly.




He didn't go all out. He still had the Wind-Walking Talisman unused. Wind-Walking could be empowered on Amber, and naturally, it could be empowered on him as well. With his current strength, if he were to empower himself with Wind-Walking, his speed would at least increase by 30%.

Sometimes, a sudden surge in speed isn't necessarily a good thing, especially when facing powerful cultivators like Elder Dong Ye. While Lu Ye can dodge the other party's spells under full control of his own speed, if he surpasses his control, he might accidentally crash into the incoming spells.


It's terrible that such a mistake happened in a battle of life and death.

It’s a pity that until the very end, he never got the chance to use that talisman.

He didn't make any mistakes, Uncle Dong made a big mistake and was brought down by a Phoenix Fire Technique.


Yiyin, holding a talisman, peeked out from behind and asked cautiously, "Have we won?"


Lu Ye went limp on the ground, sprawled in a big character shape: "I won!"


YiyI had been hiding ever since she initially used talismans to seal the exit. Lu Ye had instructed her not to act rashly, to only activate the talismans if there was a perfect opportunity or if he was in danger. However, this battle went much more smoothly than Lu Ye had anticipated. YiyI never got the chance to make a move.


"Lu Ye, you're amazing." Yi Yi expressed her sincere admiration.


Lu Ye tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled. "It's not safe to stay here for long. Feed Amber something to eat, rest for a while, we need to leave this place as soon as possible."


Before Dong Shu died on the battlefield, he used his war markings to send some messages out. Lu Ye didn't know who he was talking to, but it was most likely summoning reinforcements.


Because of this, we must leave as soon as possible.


What he didn't know was that Dong Shu, as a traitor, couldn't possibly call his former friends for help. Moreover, at that time, he already felt that he was inevitably going to die, even if he called for help, it would be too late.


He only sent out one message, and that message he sent to many people!


Yi Yi fed Amber some, and after she finished eating, Yi Yi went to clean the battlefield. Soon, she came running back excitedly carrying a storage bag: "Lu Ye Lu Ye, we're rich!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Seeing her energetic demeanor, Lu Ye knew the harvest would be substantial.


Uncle Dong's storage pouch was open. He had been taking things out of it during the fight and hadn't had time to lock the forbidden seal.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Lu Ye was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this time, refining his spirit pills to recover while eating and simultaneously probing his battlefield imprint.


Name: Lu Ye.

<<<>>>>


Location: Lingxi Battlefield.


Achievements: 397.


When leaving Mount Baifeng, Gong Xun had 368 points of merit. Now he has gained another 29 points.


After some thought, he had killed two Level Four cultivators in the swamp before. That was eight points of merit. Uncle Dong rewarded him with a full twenty-one points of merit just for that!


It seems that although Uncle Dong's cultivation level has fallen to the sixth layer for some unknown reason, the merit he gained from killing him is still calculated based on his seventh layer cultivation.




Lu Ye had never figured out one thing, that was how Dong Shuye's cultivation level fell.




I probably don't understand it anymore either.




Uncle Dong's storage bag contained quite a number of spirit stones and elixirs. After a careful count, he had 134 spirit stones and 57 elixirs.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This is Lu Ye's largest storage pouch, enough to make up for the damage to the Xuan Ling Bell.


However, compared to Dong Shu's cultivation base of the seventh layer of the night, this family background was still a bit shallow.


<<>>


Compared to others, Dong Shuye was considered quite wealthy. After all, he used to be the garrison commander of Jiuxingzong's base. He was responsible for distributing cultivation resources to his junior brothers and sisters, and occasionally he could embezzle some for himself, which is how he amassed such a fortune.


If it were an ordinary cultivator of the seventh level, they would absolutely not have such wealth. Cultivating requires consuming resources, and the monthly allocation given by the sect is simply not enough to save.


After collecting and tidying up their spoils, Lu Ye and Yiyi together moved the rocks blocking the exit aside, then made their way back out the way they came.
