The death of two powerful Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm Masters made everyone panic.

The main reason was that Chu Yun and Zhou Pei were killed too quickly. It was as if they were powerless against Lu Ye.

It had a huge impact on the cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge, who had come all the way here to destroy Lu Ye.

“What are you waiting for? Make a move together and kill him!” Tan Sheng growled suddenly.

Although Lu Ye’s actions were astonishing and his growth in power was inconceivable, he was on his own, after all. So what if he was powerful?

He could kill more than ten people, but could he destroy dozens to over 100 people? Even so, around 200 cultivators had gathered here, so they could fight him until he was killed.

Regardless of how powerful he was, he couldn’t possibly deal with so many people.

The number of people on the Thousand Demon Ridge’s side was their biggest advantage.

It had to be said that even though the powers of these cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge varied and they came from different places, they were all savage.

Therefore, despite the fact that they were astonished by what had happened, they made a move together as soon as Tan Sheng finished his words.

Having witnessed the attack that killed Chu Yun, no one dared step forward. They only activated their Spirit Artifacts or spells to attack Lu Ye.

The Spiritual Power and vitality around Lu Ye surged and formed a solid barrier, which was tinged with fiery redness. At first glance, it looked like he was burning.

Faced with the bombardment of attacks, Lu Ye set his eyes only in one direction. The red wings expanded behind him again and he charged forward in that direction.

He seemed determined and ferocious.

His imposing aura was the manifestation of the essence of the Tyrant Blade Technique. Although he was in an intense battle, a lot of insights and inspirations flashed across his mind. Nevertheless, he didn’t have time to comprehend anything, considering his situation.

As he dashed forward, the cultivators in that direction hurriedly dispersed. Still, some people didn’t react swiftly enough. Even when Lu Ye reached them, they still hadn’t managed to flee.

A domineering Lu Ye wielded his Inviolable Saber and flapped his wings. As he penetrated the crowd and the Saber Light flickered, blood splattered and shrieks were heard. Soon enough, people fell from the sky.

He managed to kill several people with only one move. Even though they were not powerful, he could still destroy them in such a situation, which showed how brutal the attack was.

He wasn’t done with them yet. Soon, he set his eyes on a cultivator who was fleeing, then grabbed the air with his left hand.

The next moment, a red Spiritual Power appeared in his grasp.

The red Spiritual Power shifted, and under his precise control, abstruse patterns were formed. Like bamboo shoots after a rain, the red Spiritual Power grew rapidly and became a whip in a blink.

He activated Divine Whip again.

As he wielded the whip, he struck right at the person’s back with it.

Following the attack, the cultivator felt as if his soul had left his body. As he screamed, he felt indignant.

“Why me!?”

So many people were fleeing at the same time, so he wondered why he was targeted.

When the whip struck him, he finally experienced what Chu Yun felt and understood why even a powerful Ninth-Order Spell Cultivator was unable to counterattack in front of Lu Ye.

Following the attack, he seemed to have lost control over his Spiritual Power, which made him almost fall from the sky.

He didn’t have time to resist as Divine Whip coiled around him and bound him to the spot. Lu Ye skirted past him and wielded his Inviolable Saber before ignoring him altogether.

The person fell from the sky as his vitality dissipated.

Lu Ye lashed out his whip while running after those cultivators. He managed to kill some people every time he struck. In just a short time, more than ten people lost their lives.

For him, killing cultivators in the same Realm was like slicing through a cucumber. In the past, the cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge believed it was only a form of exaggeration to describe how powerful a person was.

It wasn’t until now that they witnessed it, and they were horrified.

They couldn’t move as quickly as Lu Ye did, so they were unable to flee. Moreover, the man could restrict his enemies with his whip.

During the intense battle, a cultivator full of vitality seized the chance and attempted to crash into Lu Ye.

Faced with such a savage enemy, only a powerful Body-tempering Cultivator had the audacity to do it.

The person who made a move suddenly had been hiding among the crowd while restricting his aura. It wasn’t until he flared up that Lu Ye realised he was a Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm Master.

It had to be said that the existence of such a Body-tempering Cultivator at this moment made these cultivators feel relieved and reassured.

The Body-tempering Cultivator was holding a shield and a wolf-tooth club. Coupled with his towering figure, he gave off a great sense of pressure.

Presently, Lu Ye’s Divine Whip had just curled around someone. As such, the Body-tempering Cultivator seized the chance and pushed the shield against Lu Ye. It was as if a mountain was about to strike him.

Nevertheless, Lu Ye remained unmoving. The Body-tempering Cultivator was flabbergasted. The moment his shield hit Lu Ye, it didn’t feel like it had crashed into a Human. Instead, it was as if he had struck an ancient tree that had been around for thousands of years.

While he was shocked, he lifted his wolf-tooth club and tried to strike Lu Ye’s head. “Go to Hell!”

The attack felt like a mountain landing on Lu Ye as the Body-tempering Cultivator fully activated his power. No one in the same Realm could possibly fend it off.

Even if Lu Ye wasn’t killed, he would be badly injured following the strike.

By then, the people around him could make a move and destroy him.

Many ideas flashed through the Body-tempering Cultivator’s mind, but he was soon horrified. That was because when faced with the spectacular attack, Lu Ye counterattacked with his saber.

He managed to ward off the attack. As their artifacts and Spiritual Powers clashed, a boom was heard.

The pressure that felt like a mountain dissipated. The Body-tempering Cultivator was unable to bring down his wolf-tooth club. His pupils dilated as he croaked, “You…”

How was it possible that a Combat Cultivator was so full of strength?

Before he could finish his words, an immense power exploded.

He felt a tremendous force coming right at him like a Dragon that emerged out of nowhere. He knew he was in danger, but before he could do anything, he was struck and sent flying away.

If not for the protection of his shield, he would’ve been cut in two.

“Lu Yi Ye!” Xia Liang bellowed as a Sword Intent surged. His Saber Light flickered and engulfed Lu Ye, who remained in the same spot.

At the same time, Tan Sheng arrived with his attack.

Ever since Lu Ye flared up, they had been waiting for a chance. However, Lu Ye had been hunting down the fleeing cultivators, and they hadn’t had a chance to make a move while running after him.

It wasn’t until this moment that a Body-tempering Cultivator that came out of nowhere disrupted Lu Ye, which gave them a chance to strike.

Moreover, Lu Ye’s back was against them. Even though Xia Liang usually wouldn’t do such a despicable thing, he had no qualms about doing this to Lu Ye.

He shattered the Protection Glyph that appeared suddenly, but at the same time, he saw Tan Sheng was sent flying away faster than the latter had come.

Before he could deal a heavy blow to Lu Ye, the man turned around and wielded his saber.

An alarmed Xia Liang instinctively lifted his weapon, and a boom was heard.

As if struck by a meteorite, Xia Liang was turned into a ray of light upon impact as he crashed into the ground, forming a pit in it.

He rose to his feet, looking battered. At that moment, he felt that his vitality was a mess, and his mouth was filled with the tang of blood.

[Why is he so powerful?]

Xia Liang’s eyes trembled. The moment he realised that Lu Ye was an Eighth-Order Master, he knew that he was no longer a match for him.

But it wasn’t until he dealt with him that he felt the other party’s wrath and strength. Outside Hundred Wards Tower back then, he, Tan Sheng, Chu Yun, and Zhou Pei joined forces and cast Lu Ye into the forbidden area. Nevertheless, Lu Ye seemed to have transformed into a different person now.

What made him feel even more terrified and dejected was that after warding him off, Lu Ye didn’t choose to race after him. Instead, he charged towards the area where many people had gathered. That seemed to suggest that Xia Liang, who used to be able to hunt Lu Ye down, no longer had a right to be his opponent.

“Damn it!” Xia Liang gritted his teeth. After calming the vitality in his chest, he shot into the sky again.

As the core disciple of the Raving Bladesmen, he had the responsibility of bringing glory to his Sect. Never once in his life had he been humiliated before.

Meanwhile, Tan Sheng felt the same, and he made the same choice as Xia Liang.

The cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge wailed in horror. Although it looked like they had besieged Lu Ye, the man was like an ancient beast that could kill anyone he wished in reality. Wherever he went, he would bring with him the aura of death.

Heads and broken limbs continuously dropped from the sky.

Only around 100 out of the 200 cultivators, who had left the City of Heavens to destroy Lu Ye, were left. Around half of them were gone for good.

“Just hold on! He’s running out of energy!” Someone tried to boost their morale in this despairing situation.

In this chaotic battle, even though Lu Ye had Protection Glyphs, he couldn’t possibly remain unharmed. At this point, his clothes had been dyed red. It was blood that belonged to him as well as his enemies.

His top was torn apart as it hung loose around his upper body. Through the gap, one could see the wounds on his figure.

That was the reason why these cultivators hadn’t retreated even though Lu Ye had savagely killed so many of them.

They were indeed terrified of Lu Ye’s power, but no one had infinite energy, not even Lu Ye. Since he was badly injured, he must be on his last legs.

If they gave up now, all their effort would go down the drain.

It had come to a point where, even if they were not after the reward or there was no feud between them, they wanted to witness an outcome.

They wanted to see the death of a genius such as Lu Ye!
