Sage of Humanity
Chapter 1422 - 1420: Sword Cultivator Sisters
The conversation between the senior and junior brothers piqued the interest of the surrounding cultivators.
Even those in the Constellation Realm are fond of lively spectacles, especially the cultivators gathered by the Cumulated Points Ranking; they all came with the mindset of watching, and who wouldn't want to take an extra glance at such an event?
Quickly, under the guidance of the two brothers, the eyes of a large crowd focused on the battlefield where Lu Ye was located.
Listening to the praises and exclamations around him, Chu Shen's already troubled mood worsened!
Such a big opportunity to shine and make a name for himself, yet it was ruined by him, leaving him truly at a loss for words.
His mood wasn't great, but he couldn't help saying, "That's my big brother, Fa Wuzun!"
"Fa Wuzun?" Someone chimed in, "The one on the Cumulated Points Ranking?"
Chu Shen wore a smug expression, "Exactly!"
"He's ranked so high, yet he only has mid-stage cultivation? Fellow Daoist, are you mistaken?"
"Believe it or not!" Chu Shen didn't bother to explain further.
But someone else spoke up, "That indeed is Fa Wuzun. I, Liu, once had the privilege of battling him, and honestly, I was no match!"
The crowd turned to see a Constellation Late Stage cultivator speaking, and the reason they knew his cultivation level was naturally because he intentionally revealed it.
With the person involved speaking out, no one had any further doubts. However, everyone was still amazed, because as far as they knew, anyone who could make it to the Cumulated Points Ranking was mostly in the Constellation Late Stage, and not just any late-stage. Only today did they realize that not only are there late-stage cultivators, but there's also a mid-stage one on the board.
Truly eye-opening.
The cultivator named Liu continued, "Although I wasn't Fa Wuzun's match back then, he didn't seem this formidable either."
Someone laughed, "Maybe he went easy on you when he was beating you!"
Cultivator Liu didn't mind, just shook his head, "It's not just that. The bigger reason might be that these three have formed a formation!"
This statement got agreement from many observing cultivators, because under public scrutiny, it was clear that Fa Wuzun and his two female companions had formed a simple Three Talents Array.
However, even the simplest Three Talents Array requires people who are familiar with each other to form it. In this Melee Battle Meet, meeting two familiar people isn't easy, so it can only be said that Fa Wuzun is lucky, and those two women with Early Stage cultivation are even luckier.
Chu Shen had been listening casually, but at this moment he suddenly felt uneasy.
He knew the secret of the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc, having experienced it personally, but others didn't know this and merely thought that Fa Wuzun was familiar with the two women and that's how they could form a formation.
If someone discerning were to notice this and the secret were to leak out, wouldn't the mystery of the array disc become public knowledge? At that point, all major forces would focus their attention on the array disc, and if someone offered a high price to Fa Wuzun to buy it...
Chu Shen's expression turned grim, but he quickly thought that the big boss had already promised to give the array disc to him and probably wouldn't go back on his word! After all, those who made it to the Cumulated Points Ranking are people of their word, if they promised something they wouldn't break it!
Reassuring himself, once the Melee Battle Meet ended, that precious array disc would be his! Then he could use it to negotiate terms with his mother, asking her to leave him alone, so he could enjoy his free life—how wonderful!
Imagining the scenario, Chu Shen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But the words from someone beside him instantly made his mood uneasy.
"Why does this woman have an array disc on her head?"
Chu Shen's expression immediately turned ferocious, wishing he could rush into the battlefield and give that seemingly dumb woman a good beating to make her put the array disc away!
This secret of the array disc absolutely must not be exposed.
At this time, not only were the cultivators in this grand hall focused on Lu Ye's trio, but countless eyes from various grand halls were also drawn.
Perhaps some hadn't noticed before, but as their gaze swept the battlefield, Lu Ye's trio's striking performance naturally caught everyone's attention.
Some with keen eyesight noticed the extraordinary nature of the array disc, but without personal experience, they couldn't grasp its exact wonders.
Within the battlefield of the Melee Battle Meet, Lu Ye had already led Little Dumb and Little Crooked to a spot not far from the treasure. Before getting closer, they couldn't tell what this treasure was, but now, as the distance closed, it was clear it was a purple talisman!
No wonder it was wrapped in rich purple aura when it appeared, and several emerged at once.
This is undoubtedly something that can be sold. Of course, if it's an ordinary purple talisman, even though it's valuable, its worth is limited. For the Constellation Realm, it's a fairly decent find, able to fetch some spirit jade.
But if it's a purple talisman of the Dwarf Race, then its value is tremendous!
Lu Ye wasn't sure whether this purple talisman was an ordinary one or a Dwarf Race one, but it stands to reason that something appearing in the battlefield of the Melee Battle Meet wouldn't be too shabby, so it's very likely the latter.
But as his squad approached, attacks came rushing at them from all directions.
Apparently, his attempt to collect the treasure had aroused hostility from cultivators in all directions, which was why the purple talisman had remained untouched until now.
No one can approach it!
Even a squad like Lu Ye's, when facing such an onslaught, can only temporarily withdraw.
The momentum was relentless, continuing to charge forward and still invincible.
The only thing that annoyed Lu Ye was that the specter lingered nearby. This woman's figure was elusive and ghostly; Lu Ye could occasionally catch a glimpse of her, but thinking of their acquaintance, it didn't seem right to truly strike at her, so he let her be.
This woman, however, was utterly ignorant of boundaries, having already claimed numerous heads. Without exception, all those she targeted died with their hearts gouged out, her actions exceedingly ruthless.
Lu Ye planned to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson, to make her understand that his head wasn't so easily taken.
The squad quickly fought their way to the other side of the battlefield.
At this moment, two groups were fiercely clashing here. Lu Ye hadn't thought much of it at first, but upon looking over, his eyes lit up.
Because one of the groups surprisingly had two Constellation Early Stage members, and they were both women!
Not only were these two Constellation Early Stage cultivators as beautiful as flowers, but they also looked exactly alike. Even more remarkably, they were sword cultivators!
These were undoubtedly twin sisters. They seemed to have cultivated a type of combined strike technique, each unleashing Sword Qi, converging into a river; one sword stream enveloped all sides for protection, while the other, under the sisters' command, engaged in fierce combat with their enemies.
The situation was dire. Although they had a late-stage companion helping, their opponents were more numerous, and their cultivation overall was stronger.
Lu Ye watched the sisters with bright eyes, but when his vision shifted to their late-stage companion, his face turned disdainful.
This late-stage cultivator was a rugged male physique cultivator; they had to find a way to get rid of him.
Without intervention, Lu Ye feared the sisters would be eliminated first. Both were early-stage sword cultivators, and though they had the sword stream for protection, they were on the verge of collapse under the enemy's strong assault.
With a fleeting thought, he transmitted a message: "Do you see that physique cultivator over there? Eliminate him, and your issue with snatching my kills will be settled!"
Little Dumb and Little Crooked looked bewildered, both sensing he was transmitting a message, but having no idea to whom.
There was no response. Lu Ye wasn't surprised, but he was sure the specter woman was nearby, just hiding very well.
"Two thousand spirit jade!" Lu Ye took out an empty storage ring, placed two thousand spirit jade inside, and flicked it casually.
The storage ring hadn't flown far when a small hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbing it, as Lu Ye heard the specter's voice by his ear: "Take a person's money, help them resolve their troubles. I accept the transaction!"
A moment later, the specter-like figure appeared behind the physique cultivator who was withstanding the enemies' fierce assault. As always, she struck like lightning, aiming for the heart at his back.
The physique cultivator's face changed drastically, blood Qi surged wildly, and his entire body quivered.
The specter's attacks had never failed before, which was not only a testament to her own power but also her timing. Moreover, those she ambushed were always wholly focused on defending against Lu Ye's fierce attack, leaving them unguarded against threats from behind.
This time, however, was different as she was dealing with a physique cultivator after all.
With the physique cultivator's flesh writhing, the hand she thrust into his body couldn't move another inch as if caught. Capitalizing on this, he suddenly dashed forward, allowing the specter to withdraw her hand, drawing a spurt of hot blood as she vanished.
The physique cultivator's situation became increasingly precarious. Though he had fiercely escaped the specter's assassination, what followed was an even more violent onslaught from the enemy.
With a helpless sigh, he resignedly exited the scene.
His figure disappeared, leaving numerous attacks striking empty space.
The sword cultivator sisters' expressions grew solemn. With a physique cultivator companion previously sharing the burden, they could barely hold on, but following his exit, they found it even harder to continue.
The sisters were decisive; realizing their dire situation, they immediately merged their protective sword stream with the other, preparing for one final desperate attempt!
Just then, a swift aura struck from the side, causing the sisters to grow vigilant and instinctively ease their attack.
Soon after, they saw three figures boldly slash into the already chaotic battlefield.
The seemingly overwhelming adversaries that they struggled against felt somewhat vulnerable before these three; after just one encounter, the enemy had lost one member, and it was their strongest Constellation Late Stage opponent!
The three who had burst into the scene whirled by, passing the sisters. Remaining on high alert, the sisters were taken aback to discover an inexplicable force enveloping them, allowing them to seamlessly connect their aura with that of the trio!
Without any discussion or a single conversational exchange, the sisters exchanged glances, leaping forward almost instinctively to join the formation.
The aura of Lu Ye, who led the assault, grew all the more formidable!
