Chapter 388: Where Is the Person?

Just as the Tier-9 cultivator finished speaking, Lu Ye once again changed direction and attacked.

A scene identical to before unfolded. The attacks from dozens of cultivators were utterly ineffective against him; most of the incoming artifacts and spells were dodged. Only a small portion struck him, but they were blocked by his Guardian Spirit Mark, leaving him completely unharmed.

His figure, enveloped in scorching spiritual power, once again broke through the formation, and several more died by his blade or flying artifacts.

In mid-air, Lu Ye paused, looking down at his spirit vessel.

An attack he barely avoided moments ago grazed his spirit vessel, leaving a dent. Fortunately, it didn't affect the vessel's overall performance.

The defensive capabilities of these small flying spirit vessels are generally poor. If they take too many hits in a short period, they definitely can't withstand it. In such a situation, if Lu Ye didn't have a flying spirit vessel, he would essentially be doomed.

The Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators opposite clearly noticed this and whispered among themselves. They decided that once Lu Ye approached again, they would target his flying spirit vessel. If they could truly destroy it, it would be a major accomplishment.

Just as they were thinking this, Lu Ye raised his hand and pointed. From dozens of yards away, scorching spiritual power converged, forming the figure of a fire phoenix that flapped its wings and soared towards them.

Dozens of cultivators quickly coordinated their defenses! However, no sooner had they blocked one fire phoenix spell than a second followed closely, then a third. The attacks were relentless and endless!

The power of each spell was astonishingly great; the scorching energy warped the very space around them, and sparks flew everywhere.

The Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators were greatly alarmed. For a moment, they couldn't figure out if Lu Yiye was a weapon master or a spell caster.

Even a Tier-9 spell caster wouldn't have his casting speed, and the power of these spells was ridiculously strong.

What shocked them even more was that hidden behind the successive fire phoenix spells, flying artifacts seized the opportunity to strike, making it impossible to guard against them all!

Their dense and robust defensive line was breached, and the streaks of light from the flying artifacts took the opportunity to weave through, causing a continuous stream of screams.

In just a few moments, over ten people had died.

With fewer people, their defensive power greatly diminished. Seeing Lu Ye charging in for the kill, the Tier-9 cultivator could no longer hold on. He roared, "Flee!"

As his words fell, he was the first to flee.

Seeing this, every single one of the remaining Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators scattered and fled.

Lu Ye was about to pursue when he saw a large number of streaks of light approaching from afar. It was clear that Myriad Devil Ridge's nearby reinforcements had arrived, leaving him no choice but to retreat first.

The Leaf Eradication Alliance, reorganized under the leadership of the Dao Xuan Sect's top-ranked cultivator on the Spirit Stream List, began to operate rigorously.

Messages were constantly being transmitted in all directions. As soon as anyone discovered Lu Ye's whereabouts, nearby Leaf Eradication Alliance cultivators would rush there immediately, giving him no chance to rest.

Over the past few days, Lu Ye had engaged in dozens of skirmishes, large and small, with Leaf Eradication Alliance cultivators, averaging seven or eight battles per day.

If the enemy numbers were small, Lu Ye would try to eliminate them; if there were too many, he would retreat first.

The Leaf Eradication Alliance suffered significant casualties, including many Tier-9 cultivators.

In a certain mountain forest, large groups of cultivators searched back and forth in the sky, while on the ground, cultivators moved in pairs, investigating Lu Ye's whereabouts.

Under the vast operational force of the Leaf Eradication Alliance, even if Lu Ye could temporarily shake off his pursuers, it was difficult for him to hide for long.

All Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators in the core region now considered eliminating Lu Yiye their top priority. Everything else was put aside.

Half an hour ago, a group from the Leaf Eradication Alliance encountered Lu Ye, and a fierce battle ensued. Lu Ye then fled, and the Leaf Eradication Alliance lost track of him.

It was certain that he was still in this area; as for his exact hiding place, they still needed to search.

To be honest, Lu Ye's performance over the past few days had shocked all Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators. Not only was his inherent power incredibly strong, but even when he was at Tier-7, he had the capability to kill Tier-9 cultivators. Now at Tier-8, ordinary Tier-9 cultivators were no match for him at all.

What puzzled the Myriad Devil Ridge even more was his stamina!

Lu Yiye had only recently advanced to Tier-8, meaning his spirit apertures should only be around 300, and his internal spiritual power was limited. He had barely any time to recover over these past few days, so how could he keep going?

Even a Cloud River Realm cultivator should have been exhausted by now.

But in fact, during the battle half an hour ago, Lu Ye still appeared at ease, though his expression showed a hint of fatigue.

What was certain was that regardless of how he restored his spiritual power, after dozens of battles over the past few days, he must be nearing the end of his strength.

Therefore, the elimination of Lu Yiye would happen today!

Inside a secluded mountain cave in the forest, Lu Ye was setting up a teleportation array.

The Myriad Devil Ridge's decision was not wrong. Lu Ye was indeed at the end of his tether at this moment, feeling utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. Even if he could consume spirit pills indefinitely to replenish his spiritual power, this high-frequency, high-intensity fighting still made his spiritual power expenditures exceed his intake.

At this moment, less than 20% of his spiritual power remained. Although he still had the strength to fight, he truly wasn't in the mood for it anymore.

After days of fighting, even with his Guardian Spirit Mark, he couldn't avoid injuries. Furthermore, his spirit vessel was on the verge of being scrapped.

If a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator lacked a flying spirit vessel in this situation, it was essentially no different from waiting for death.

Therefore, he had to quickly return to the Myriad Poison Forest to recuperate.
