Feeling Lu Ye's intense killing intent, Zhou Yuchuan frowned and ultimately chose to withdraw. The moment his figure disappeared, his face was filled with helplessness.

Not to mention that he had exhausted his strength to unleash the power of the short spear, leaving him with little combat ability at the moment. Lu Ye himself was also named on the Cumulated Points Ranking, and Zhou Yuchuan certainly wouldn't underestimate him just because he was only at the mid-stage of cultivation.

Before disappearing, Zhou Yuchuan sent an audio transmission message: "I hope there will be a chance for a fair fight in the future!"

He was undoubtedly somewhat unconvinced because, in the Cumulated Points Ranking, he ranked much higher than Fa Wuzun. He was confident that if everyone were in perfect condition, he could defeat Fa Wuzun in a one-on-one fight. But now, due to circumstances and fate, he was forced to withdraw from the Melee Battle Meet, leaving him feeling helpless.

As Zhou Yuchuan's figure disappeared, the male companion beside him also vanished. Both were shrewd individuals, and considering how they had treated Lu Ye earlier, it was expected that Lu Ye would harbor a killing intent towards them. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around, so they couldn't blame anyone else for this.

Faced with such a figure brimming with killing intent, how could he not run away and stay here to wait for death?

In an instant, the three-person squad was reduced to just Xiaoru!

At this moment, she was still maneuvering her two spirit treasures to fend off the fierce attack from the starship squadron. With Zhou Yuchuan and another companion leaving, Lu Ye's energy naturally locked onto her.

Attacked from both front and back! Xiaoru felt extremely uncomfortable, unable to understand how the well-laid plans had developed into this situation.

The plan was clearly well-made...

Even though she was a woman, she was decisive and knew that it was not advisable to linger in a place of conflict. Her figure flickered immediately as she tried to escape.

However, Lu Ye's presence was like a shadow she couldn't shake off. As a magic cultivator targeted by a combat cultivator like Lu Ye, she had no space to flee.

Though she also tried to use spells to block Lu Ye's advance, it had little effect. The enemy's advance was aggressive and domineering, far beyond what her magic could intercept.

In less than a moment, she was overtaken, and after a brief encounter, realizing things were not going well, the woman withdrew in embarrassment.

Before leaving, there was a slight look of terror in her eyes.

She had witnessed the strength of Lu Ye's squad before, but it was bolstered by the power of the array. She originally thought that even if Fa Wuzun himself was strong, he wouldn't be too formidable. But after clashing, she realized she was no match, especially as a magic cultivator caught up close by a combat cultivator, leaving her unable to maneuver freely.

When the confrontation occurred here, the starship squadron didn't intervene because they were somewhat bewildered, unable to understand what was going on with these people who seemed to belong to the same group but started an internal conflict.

Once Xiaoru's figure also disappeared, leaving only Lu Ye as the enemy in front of them, the situation became clear.

The starship squadron charged unhesitatingly in the direction of Lu Ye, especially the late-stage combat cultivator, whose expression was particularly fierce. Previously, he had suffered a loss at Lu Ye's hands, but that was when he was alone. With his companions now beside him, how could he fear a mere mid-stage cultivator? He was ready to regain his lost face.

Yet once the actual clash occurred, he realized he had oversimplified the situation.

This fellow combat cultivator, also a blade user, albeit only mid-stage, moved exceptionally swiftly, making it difficult for their combined efforts to restrain him. Even more terrifying was his aggressive strikes; often, in the instant they brushed past him, a companion would sustain serious injuries!

Conversely, their attacks were all deflected by some mysterious technique the opponent used, summoning a protective barrier to block them.

After several of Lu Ye's swift maneuvers, the squad was directly left in tatters.

In the Constellation Palace, Chu Shen's emotions underwent a rollercoaster, feeling it was extraordinarily thrilling.

He couldn't quite see how Lu Ye survived such crisis moments, but looking back now, there were indeed some irregularities.

Because when the starship's cannon fire hit Lu Ye's figure, Lu Ye seemed to dissolve into nothingness, which was clearly abnormal.

If a cultivator himself turning into nothingness could be understood, Fa Wuzun's spirit treasure longsword wouldn't be so easily vaporized.

Chu Shen, a bit slow to react, realized that at the moment the cannon's power was about to hit, Fa Wuzun used some method to leave the original spot.

The big shot isn't dead; not only isn't he dead, but he's also wreaking havoc everywhere, which is great!

"This person is already invincible!" a voice beside him declared.

Chu Shen nodded quickly to express his agreement, and this statement also elicited nods from many others.

Originally, in this Melee Battle Meet, the overall strength of Zhou Yuchuan's squad was enough to match Fa Wuzun's squad. Even if Fa Wuzun's squad formed the Black Tortoise Array, their overall cultivation was always a weak point. If they truly faced off, who was stronger or weaker was still uncertain.

Not to mention there was still a starship traversing everywhere, which no squad could withstand alone.

But now, as witnessed, the starship was crippled, the starship squadron was in dire straits, and Zhou Yuchuan's squad was cleanly wiped out.

At the current Melee Battle Meet battlefield, who else could restrain the ferocious momentum of Fa Wuzun's squad? Unless a cultivator could obtain some sharp treasure during the Melee Battle Meet.

Even more terrifying is that this squad has the battlefield map in hand. Any attempt to conceal will be useless in the face of that map, thus inevitably leading to the Fa Wuzun squad striking from all directions, searching for surviving cultivators, continuously eliminating them, and expanding their victory.

This melee battle meet, this squad will surely emerge as the biggest winner.

On the dead star, Lu Ye has eliminated the entire starship squadron. It must be said that the Sacred Guard is quite practical in this level of confrontation, especially since he activates the Sacred Guard Spirit Runes without any delay, nor is there any chance of failure. Even if the enemy's attack is powerful, he can instantly enhance himself with several layers of Sacred Guard protection.

Thus, as long as the enemy is not too strong or too numerous, relying solely on the Sacred Guard, he can remain unscathed.

He has already transmitted to Little Dumb and the others, asking them to come and meet him. With nothing else to do, Lu Ye takes out the treasure the specter tossed to him earlier to inspect.

After the specter seized this treasure, she directly threw it to him. Honestly, Lu Ye was somewhat confused. If she wanted to divert trouble to him, there was absolutely no need to do so. Because with her concealment, the starship squad's target could only be him.

Yet she did it anyway...

Thus, Lu Ye has a bad feeling.

Upon investigating, he finds, as expected, that the item in his hand is not a treasure at all but a cheap mineral, emitting a bright glow, with evident traces of polishing on its surface. Clearly, the specter polished it beforehand to make it resemble a treasure, but the moment the treasure was obtained, it was swapped!

Lu Ye initially wanted to crush the mineral but eventually kept it.

The specter woman... is somewhat excessive!

He needs to find a chance to teach her a lesson.

Little Dumb and the four quickly arrived at the location, seeing Lu Ye unharmed, they all relaxed.

They did not ask about the battle situation. Since Lu Ye is here and the others are nowhere to be seen, the result is quite obvious.

The five regroup, and Lu Ye takes the battlefield map from Little Crooked's hands, searches for areas dense with cultivators, confirms the direction, and leads the way.

The use of the battlefield map has a time interval, so it cannot be examined at any moment, but it is already sufficient.

Every now and then, Little Crooked will examine the battlefield map to search for the approximate location of nearby cultivators. Once the direction is confirmed, the squad charges recklessly, always yielding results.

In such a way, searching and slaughtering along the way, countless squads have suffered. However, it must be said that at this stage, the squads still surviving have decent overall strength, unlike the beginning, where the strengths varied greatly.

This is because the melee battle meet has reached the late stage, and the weaker ones have already been eliminated.

Lu Ye's squad is the only exception. On the surface, their cultivation is the weakest, but in reality, they are the strongest squad.

In past melee battle meets, reaching this stage meant it was difficult for cultivators to gain more ground. The battlefield is too vast, and with fewer cultivators remaining, their encounters become significantly less frequent.

Even if squads hold the battlefield map to search for people, lacking strength, they cannot achieve major victories.

Several days later, suddenly a magnificent yet ethereal aura sweeps over the entire melee battle meet battlefield. Simultaneously, all surviving cultivators gain a layer of insight.

The melee battle meet is about to end, in just half a day!

This is evidently the rules of the Constellation Palace at work.

Unlike previous contests Lu Ye encountered, the end of this meet is not marked by deciding first, second, third place but rather when the surviving cultivators on the battlefield reduce to a certain number. At the end, all surviving cultivators are considered winners!

The battlefield is too vast; it's impossible for cultivators to fight until only one remains.

The number is generally around one hundred fifty!

Sensing the information conveyed by this aura, Lu Ye stops and gestures to Little Crooked, who understands and presents the battlefield map.

Lu Ye takes it, channels spirit force into it, briefly examines it, and discovers there are about six hundred cultivators left in the battlefield.

Estimating according to the ratio of one hundred fifty, this time, the total number of cultivators participating in the melee battle meet is roughly thirty thousand.

In just half a month, a scale of thirty thousand has fought down to only six hundred, indicating the fierce battle, while countless cultivators have forever laid buried here!

He glances again at the position of the nearest group of cultivators, deciding to abandon the plan to seek enemies. The harvest from this melee battle meet is plenty enough, and there's no need to stir up more carnage in this final half day.

The remaining cultivators will surely have the same thought; everyone has endured to this point, achieved the final victory, and just needs half a day more to reap the benefits. Who would still engage in fighting and killing?
