Chapter 2314: 狂暴攻势

After another offensive, the blonde woman lowered the longbow in her hand.

Her spiritual power was almost entirely depleted; she was practically incapable of fighting anymore. Of course, if she wished to leave, given the strangeness of her methods, no one could stop her unless they possessed abilities that countered her. She turned her head to look at the realm inhabited by the four-eared beings, a deep sigh escaping her heart.

The rare treasure... it hadn't emerged yet; it was still in gestation! This greatly disappointed her. If the rare treasure had appeared, she could have seized the opportune moment to retrieve it. Then, she could have used it as bait to lure away all the surrounding Dao Fusers, thereby ensuring the realm's safety and the well-being of its inhabitants. This was her original plan: as long as she could hold off the enemies for a moment and retrieve the rare treasure, the realm would be saved. All the Dao Fusers were drawn by the treasure; without that attraction, they wouldn't spare a glance for this realm. But with the treasure still gestating, her plan was impossible to execute.

This was the end... Her recent slaughter had undoubtedly enraged everyone. All the Dao Fusers who had come to seize the treasure now viewed her as their primary enemy. From every direction, surges of energy swept in, laden with boundless killing intent. If she didn't leave now, she would surely die here.

"Ah!" A sudden sigh reached her ears. The blonde woman was startled, for she realized the voice came from within the realm itself. This was almost impossible; she had been guarding this spot the entire time. Who could have silently bypassed her and entered the realm? And the voice... it sounded somewhat familiar. She quickly looked, only to see a figure casually strolling out of the realm, reaching her in just a few steps.

Astonishment filled the blonde woman's golden eyes: "How could you..." She had never imagined that the one emerging from the realm would be Lu Ye! She quickly turned her head to look in one direction; in that direction, Lu Ye and Song Weiwei were working together to intercept enemies approaching them.

She had actually realized that Lu Ye hadn't left much earlier. Although Lu Ye and Song Weiwei's actions had been discreet over the past few days, the various Star Abyss blessings that descended were incredibly conspicuous, naturally drawing her attention. She was actually quite grateful in her heart, as Lu Ye hadn't been as heartless as she might have expected. Of course, it could also be due to the Heart-Bond Knot; she had forcefully bound Lu Ye as her companion, their lives intertwined, meaning Lu Ye was destined not to abandon her.

"Is this your clone?" The blonde woman realized. During her second encounter with Lu Ye, she had personally seen Lu Ye's stark naked clone, and she had even fought against it. The clone's overwhelming power had left a profound impression on her! Now that one Lu Ye was fighting enemies with Song Weiwei over there, and another had appeared here, it must undoubtedly be a clone. However, she hadn't noticed when Lu Ye's clone had hidden itself within the realm. She supposed it must have been several days ago.

"Still planning to hold on?" the clone asked, looking at her.

"I'm out of spiritual power," the blonde woman replied with a wry smile. Without spiritual power, even if she wanted to persevere, she was powerless.

"Then why aren't you leaving?" The clone frowned. In this brief moment, the approaching Dao Fusers were getting closer and closer; if she didn't leave now, it would truly be too late.

The blonde woman shook her head: "I will fight until the very last moment!"

"Are you out of your mind?" The clone couldn't help but exclaim. She had no spiritual power left, so what "last moment" was there to fight for? At this point, even a Dao Initiate could probably kill her!

"It's fine, I won't die. You go first, and I'll find you after this is over!" the blonde woman said lightly, but the clone felt like knocking her out and dragging her away. He didn't know where she got such confidence. With her spiritual power completely exhausted, how could she guarantee she wouldn't die? Even if her escape techniques were strange, with so many Dao Fusers present, who could guarantee they had no counter-measures? Once her elusive escape techniques were countered, the blonde woman wouldn't have enough lives to survive, no matter how many she had.

Especially since there was also an enemy hidden among them whom even Lu Ye greatly feared. He didn't know who it was, but their power was absolutely beyond doubt. As the two spoke, the enemies drew closer.

There was no time for more talk. The clone stepped forward, positioning himself behind the woman, and gritted his teeth: "Don't move!" The blonde woman didn't know what Lu Ye intended, but she wasn't worried that he would harm her. The clone's palm pressed against her back. As his spiritual power surged, intricate and complex Dao patterns rapidly formed. And as the patterns took shape, a phantom pair of magnificent wings flashed into existence and then vanished. A substantial and intimate connection suddenly formed between the clone and the blonde woman.

"You..." The blonde woman turned her head, her eyes wide with astonishment as she looked at the clone. She could feel that with the establishment of that close connection, she seemed able to freely borrow power from the clone's body. It was a very strange and unprecedented sensation. It was as if Lu Ye's clone had become an external reservoir of spiritual power for her!

"Aren't you going to kill the enemies? If we don't act now, we'll just wait to be killed," the clone retorted impatiently. Since it was just a clone here, and the blonde woman wasn't afraid of dying, why should he be? If the clone died, it died; it wasn't as if it hadn't died before. He'd just have to reclaim the portion of his Talent Tree that had been separated. Of course, because of the Heart-Bond Knot, he absolutely couldn't allow the blonde woman's life to be in danger. This concerned the survival of his main body, so he couldn't be careless.

"Senior Brother, thank you!" the blonde woman said sincerely. To this day, she didn't know Lu Ye's name, nor had she ever told him her own. In their previous two encounters, both had wished to kill the other, but this time they were fighting side by side. Truly, the world was full of uncertainties.

The longbow, which had been lowered, was raised again. She drew the string, and a surge of powerful and pure spiritual power flowed from the clone into her body. On the bowstring, a golden arrow rapidly took shape. The numerous Dao Fusers who had been rushing towards her had seen her lower her longbow earlier and were all delighted. They knew that such an offensive from the blonde woman consumed an immense amount of spiritual power, and they all believed she had run out of energy, thus losing all fear. But with the appearance of another human, the blonde woman's offensive unexpectedly showed signs of resurgence! And with the emergence of that golden light, all the Dao Fusers felt a chill run through their bodies. No one knew if this attack would land on them, and if it did, whether they could withstand it!

A flash of golden light. Among the closest pair of cultivators to the realm, the male cultivator's body trembled, and his defensive spiritual power shattered. However, his strength was quite good, so this attack merely broke through his defenses. But seeing the golden light illuminate again from that side, the male cultivator's expression turned to despair.

Just then, his female cultivator companion unexpectedly flashed forward, blocking him. The female cultivator's defensive spiritual power also shattered! But in the end, she saved her companion's life! During this brief delay, the male cultivator finally re-formed his defensive power and pulled the female cultivator behind him.

Both were filled with excitement, for they had found the best way to deal with this strange offensive: take turns defending. Their strength was sufficient; as long as the opponent couldn't kill them in one blow, they could continue to block attacks this way indefinitely. The enemy's spiritual power was limited; could two of them not outlast one opponent?

"Don't worry about spiritual power consumption. Whatever techniques you have, as long as you can withstand them, unleash them!" Behind the blonde woman, Lu Ye's clone also saw the situation and quickly transmitted a message to her. He had fought the blonde woman before, so he naturally knew her techniques were not limited to what she had previously displayed.

"Understood!" The blonde woman nodded. She also understood that this was not the time to conserve spiritual power. Everything had to be done with the premise of eliminating enemies as quickly as possible; otherwise, if the numerous enemies closed in, even with powerful techniques, she would find it hard to employ them. Lightly flicking her fingers, golden light rippled. Another attack shot out, still heading for the male cultivator who had previously escaped.

This time, the opponent had experience and became even more confident, frantically urging his spiritual power to protect himself, while also transmitting a message to his companion, telling her to prepare to take over for him. However, in the next moment, his pupils filled with terror, for he suddenly discovered that this time, what struck him was not one point of golden light, but three points! The three points connected into a line! They struck him almost simultaneously, one after another. As his defensive spiritual power shattered, his entire body also disintegrated.

Suddenly facing such a drastic change, the female cultivator companion, who was preparing to take his place, couldn't help but freeze for a moment. Immediately, the aura of death enveloped her, and she lost all sensation instantly! Points of golden light continuously flashed, and lives were extinguished one after another! All the Dao Fusers charging towards the blonde woman couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Just moments before, while the blonde woman's attacks were powerful and strange, they hadn't caused despair. After all, everyone knew that human power has limits; her strength, as formidable as it was, was only temporary due to the severe spiritual power consumption. But ever since a figure suspected to be her companion appeared beside her, the blonde woman's attacks suddenly became much more ferocious. It was as if, with a companion, her entire being had undergone some incredible sublimation. The golden light attacks emanating from her side were relentless...

The Dao Fusers, renowned and honored in various corners of the Star Abyss, were aghast. Did such attacks require no spiritual power? How could one person possibly have so much spiritual power to expend? This question puzzled not only these Dao Fusers but even the blonde woman herself!

The clone had previously told her not to worry about spiritual power consumption and to unleash any techniques she had. She had only assumed the clone recognized the grimness of the situation. In truth, in that circumstance, she couldn't afford to think more; she could only use her strongest techniques to kill enemies, shooting down any Dao Fusers attempting to approach! She had initially thought the clone wouldn't be able to last long. But even now, the warm hand pressed against her back remained as steadfast as a rock. Under that mysterious and profound connection, a vast amount of spiritual power continuously flowed into her body every moment, becoming the capital for her to kill enemies. How much spiritual power had she consumed from him? Eight thousand, ten thousand, or even more? She could no longer calculate it.
