Chapter 033 Killing

Lu Ye continued to delve deeper.

The original formations he had left were altered, replaced with a completely new system of formations, and not just one system.

Among them were two formations: one was a blinding light formation, which had no killing power but could dazzle others' eyes.

The other was a short-distance teleportation formation, with a range of approximately ten to thirty kilometers.

Although not too far, it was mostly sufficient for escaping.

He continued to modify the formations.

As he kept changing them, he eventually arrived before the Golden Sunflower, took out a jade box, and sealed the Golden Sunflower inside.

He also picked over a dozen precious medicinal herbs that might be useful, and then Lu Ye left the Hundred Herb Valley.

Li Huaiyu was still tirelessly deciphering the formations, his eyes filled with the pursuit and satisfaction of knowledge.

He broke through some more formations.

When he came to a new formation, Li Huaiyu's expression changed; he had already fallen into the formation, and before him appeared a group of muscular, eight-pack-ab men beckoning to him.

Ah!

The formation had changed?

Not just the formation, but the entire system of formations had undergone a transformation.

What was going on?

He had basically figured out the thought process of the person who set up the formations, but now the formations had undergone a major transformation.

Could it be...

That it was the work of that young man from earlier?

To be able to alter the formations without deciphering them, what a terrifying level of formation mastery would that require?

And another question was... why did the illusion feature eight muscular handsome men? For a man like him, wouldn't eight beautiful women be the most appropriate?

...

Leaving the Hundred Herb Valley, Lu Ye's next target was the Heavenly Spirit Pond.

As the name suggests, the Heavenly Spirit Pond was rich in spiritual energy, aiding in cultivation.

Lu Ye already had the help of a system to speed up his cultivation, and if he were at the Heavenly Spirit Pond, his cultivation speed could be even faster.

As he walked out of the Hundred Herb Valley.

A rumbling sound came from afar.

The battle had already begun.

The Humans were strong, driving the alien race out of the most spiritually abundant wilderness.

There were already grudges with many parties, and now that the younger generation had gathered together, it was truly chaotic.

Lu Ye was not particularly concerned with these matters.

The strong are forged through battle.

No one can avoid fighting in such a place, where everyone is of similar age and cultivation level. If it's a fight, then so be it. Who's afraid of whom?

Unless it's a case of the strong bullying the weak or wanton slaughter, Lu Ye would not stand by and would choose to intervene.

In battles among peers, death is just death.

"Boom!"

A figure crashed heavily in front of Lu Ye.

"Fellow Daoist... save... save me..."

A disciple from a small sect was vomiting blood profusely, clearly on the brink of death.

"Hahaha, you die too!"

A black bat let out a strange laugh and charged fiercely towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye had initially planned to take a detour and leave.

But since the black bat had attacked him...

A sword light gently flashed.

The bat was split in two.

Lu Ye found the opponent's storage ring, turned it to ashes with a spark, and with a flick of his sleeve, the ashes scattered.

"Bat Mist!"

A mournful cry rang out as more than a dozen black bats rushed over at incredible speed. They glanced at the bat that had been split in two, but before they could speak, Lu Ye's sword flashed.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Under the sunlight, the light twisted.

Sword lights crisscrossed, and more than a dozen bats were all split in two, blood flowing everywhere, the stench of blood pungent.

Lu Ye hooked his finger, and one by one, the storage rings fell into his hand. He then stepped away.

"Fellow Daoist, I hope to know your name. Today's kindness will be repaid by Ji Liang of the Qiankun Sect in the future!"

Lu Ye's footsteps did not stop as he disappeared at the end of the earth.

The great battle had indeed begun. On the road, there were corpses of demons and Humans alike.

Some corpses were gnawed beyond recognition, and female cultivators were stripped naked, their bodies covered in bite marks.

The cruelty of the cultivation world was vividly displayed at this moment.

Two figures, fleeing in disarray, ran towards Lu Ye.

"Fellow Daoist, hurry, the Demons have taken over the Heavenly Spirit Pond ahead, killing many. We Humans have also chosen to form an alliance to fight against the demons and monsters. Let's go to the alliance point together and resist the demons!"

Lu Ye showed a bit of interest.

This situation hadn't occurred in his previous life. The Humans had formed an alliance?

"Who initiated the alliance?" Lu Ye asked.

"It was Yue Hongling from the Great Dao Sect who took the lead, and many major forces responded. It's not only safe there, but we can also counterattack the demons together, preventing them from picking us off one by one. Fellow Daoist, hurry!"

So it was Yue Hongling!

No wonder things have changed.

"No need, I still want to go check out the Tianling Pool."

"Fellow Daoist, the Tianling Pool has already been occupied by the Demon race. Going there now is like walking to your death, isn't it?"

Lu Ye wasn't angry. "I'll just take a look. If it's dangerous, I'll retreat in time."

"I advise you not to go."

"I'm the kind of person who won't give up until I hit the wall."

Lu Ye has always had a high tolerance for kind people, like these two, who just wanted him to go to a safe place.

"Then, fellow Daoist, take care on your journey!"

"Take care!"

A chance encounter, and Lu Ye was already very close to the Tianling Pool.

The smell of blood wafted from ahead.

The Tianling Pool wasn't particularly large, with a diameter of only ten zhang, presenting a jade-green color, like a gem embedded in the earth.

Thick spiritual energy permeated the air, forming a mist.

Around the Tianling Pool, many bodies were mangled, with large demons gnawing on the corpses, while others had entered the pool, comfortably cultivating.

The sound of crunching was particularly crisp.

Lu Ye's figure appeared not far away.

Pairs of eyes opened, almost simultaneously looking towards Lu Ye, filled with killing intent.

Lu Ye seemed unfazed, continuing to walk towards a group of demons.

"Interesting!"

A leopard demon suddenly laughed, jumping out of the Tianling Pool. All the water evaporated, and its fur began to emit faint strands of light.

"A very confident human. He probably thinks he can kill us all by himself."

The leopard demon addressed the group of demons.

"But, in reality?"

"He will beg for mercy."

The demons immediately sneered.

"He will wail."

"Hahaha..."

The sneers turned into uproarious laughter.

"He will cry and beg us to give him a quick death."

"Ho ho ho!"

"Ha ha ha!"

"Howl..."

The leopard demon looked at Lu Ye with mockery, its figure suddenly turning into a golden light.

"Wail!"

"Thud!"

The two halves of the leopard demon's corpse flew out.

Blood drew a V-shape on the ground.

"Too much talk, all of you should die."

Lu Ye walked steadily, his figure like a movie being frame-skipped, flickering past ten feet in an instant, continuously flashing, he had already charged into the demon crowd.

With a swing of his sword.

Seven or eight demons in a straight line exploded.

The slaughter, begins!
