Sage of Humanity
Chapter 945 - 943 Destructive Lightning Spear

The power of twenty thousand Explosive Fire Spirit Stones was simultaneously triggered, with terrifying momentum, yet even so, the protective array of Dark Moon Forest Pass remained unbroken.

Just as Lin Yue and Zhang Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a shocking energy fluctuation suddenly erupted.

Only to see Liew Yuemei's spirit force surge, her clothes and black hair fluttering, as she wielded a treasure resembling a three-foot short spear, injecting spirit force at the Divine Sea Realm into it, causing lightning to dance on the short spear and transform into a bolt of lightning.

Liew Yuemei grasped the short spear, as if truly holding a bolt of thunder.

"Destructive Lightning Spear!" Zhang Kun's eyelids twitched violently, recognizing the origin of the short spear at a glance.

It wasn't that he paid much attention to Liew Yuemei, but the name of the Destructive Lightning Spear was so renowned, for it was the Tianyuan Sect's treasure, barely on the same level as the mountain and river map, famous throughout the Nine Provinces.

Generally speaking, such sect treasures are stored within the sect, not easily used unless the future of the sect is at stake.

So no one expected Liew Yuemei to bring this treasure out this time.

She clearly didn't have the authority on her own, but with Yu Huajin backing her, there was room for maneuver.

In ordinary times, the protective array of Dark Moon Forest Pass might not be unable to withstand this spear's strike, but now the protective array had just suffered heavy damage, teetering on the brink; should Liew Yuemei unleash the power of the Destructive Lightning Spear, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't even think about it!" Zhang Kun shouted fiercely, flashed towards Liew Yuemei, intending to intercept.

However, just as he moved, another Divine Sea Realm from the Haotian Alliance blocked him midway, forcing Zhang Kun into battle despite his urgency.

Seeing this, Lin Yue could only charge out of the pass, heading directly towards Liew Yuemei to kill her.

But Liew Yuemei didn't even glance at her, focusing entirely on channeling her spirit force into the Thunder Spear, her eyes deep as she gazed in a certain direction within Dark Moon Forest Pass, gritting her teeth and shouting fiercely, "Little thief, today you will die without a doubt!"

She had already discovered Lu Ye's whereabouts.

She had indeed never seen Li Taibai before, but when Lu Ye had slain Tan Shu, it had been witnessed by many Haotian Alliance cultivators, so it wasn't hard for her to know what Li Taibai looked like.

Thus, she immediately spotted Lu Ye standing on a certain rooftop, looking this way, dressed in white with a gourd at his waist, such distinctive marks too obvious.

"Pass through me first!" Lin Yue shouted fiercely, her words barely landing when a figure darted out from the side, drawing attention only upon making a move, revealing his status as a strong cultivator at the Divine Sea Realm.

Lin Yue was instantly blocked.

"Trouble!" Lin Yue thought to herself that things were not looking good. She and Zhang Kun had long been on guard regarding whether any other Divine Sea Realm from the Haotian Alliance was lurking in the shadows. Now it seemed there really was, but the opponent had hidden well, never revealing a flaw, causing both her and Zhang Kun to have failed to detect it.

Now no one from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge was restraining Liew Yuemei, who held such a divine object as the Destructive Lightning Spear in her hand. Dark Moon Forest Pass... was in danger!

Fortunately, upon sensing things turning sour earlier, she had already sent messages to both sides of the pass, alerting two Divine Sea Realm cultivators from the left and right, who would arrive in less than one hour.

As long as they could hold on for one hour, the crisis could be resolved.

Meanwhile, Liew Yuemei's Thunder Spear transformed into a bolt of lightning, crashing down towards Dark Moon Forest Pass.

No loud sound, almost silent; but when that thunder struck the protective array, the already teetering array struggled even more to maintain itself.

Crack...

Not until this moment did the sound of thunder explode, deafeningly.

As the power of the Thunder Spear struck the protective array, lightning spread in all directions, making the entire protective array seem to transform into a semicircular net of lightning.

The teetering protective array could no longer hold, shattering like a broken mirror with a crashing sound!

In an instant, the many frustrated cultivators of Haotian Alliance, led by Liew Yuemei, rushed into Dark Moon Forest Pass like a tiger descending the mountain.

The two sides of cultivators clashed directly, the battle erupted.

Liew Yuemei then carved a bloody path through the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators' ranks; with no one restraining her, her Divine Sea Realm strength in such a setting was dreadfully overwhelming. If she chose, she could go on a killing spree.

Yet she didn't do so; instead, she landed atop the roof where Lu Ye had stood just moments before.

Looking around, where was Lu Ye's trace?

As soon as she had triggered the power of the Destructive Lightning Spear, wrapping the entire protective array of Dark Moon Forest Pass in a lightning net, Lu Ye had fled.

He surely wouldn't stand there foolishly waiting to die.

Liew Yuemei had come specifically to find him, the attack being merely a process.

Thus he knew, under no circumstance could he fall into Liew Yuemei's hands.

At this moment, he was hiding in a concealed spot, having activated the Breath-concealing and Concealment Spirit Runes, completely restraining his aura, moving not an inch... leaving the rest to fate.

But escaping under the nose of a strong cultivator at the Divine Sea Realm, how incredibly difficult is that?

Liew Yuemei momentarily failed to find Lu Ye's trail, and couldn't help but be furious, knowing well that in such a short time, Lu Ye couldn't have escaped, but must be hiding nearby. At once, she activated her Mental Consciousness to scour the surroundings, intent on ferreting out Lu Ye's trail.

Yet came up empty.

"Where can you escape to?" Liew Yuemei shouted angrily, surrounding herself with roiling spirit force, casting powerful magic and spells sweeping in all directions.

Numerous buildings instantly collapsed, turning into ruins centered on Liew Yuemei's location, with the power of magic and spells rapidly radiating outward. Many Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators caught up by the attack met instant tragic ends.

Lu Ye didn't dare to look, but personally experiencing the wrath of a Divine Sea Realm strong cultivator was enough to secretly shock him.

The power of the magic and spells was getting closer and closer to his hiding spot, to the point where he could no longer stay hidden.

A moment later, driven by desperation, Lu Ye had no choice but to soar into the sky, swiftly darting toward the outside of the mountain pass.

"Where do you think you're going!" Liew Yuemei turned her head and locked onto Lu Ye's silhouette, casting a spell with a wave of her hand from afar.

Sensing the crisis behind him, Lu Ye wanted to evade, but how fierce and overwhelming was the power of a Divine Sea Realm attack; he was helpless even if he wanted to.

This spell hit him hard on the back, and Lu Ye was instantly severely injured, his body staggering as he spit out a mouthful of blood, even his spirit force seemed somewhat scattered.

"Hmm?" Liew Yuemei showed a look of surprise.

Because she believed that her attack was something a True Lake Level 3 couldn't withstand, it should have incapacitated him, yet the result was not as expected.

"Treasure garment?" Liew Yuemei, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed the extraordinary nature of Lu Ye's Crimson Dragon Battle Suit, understanding that he must have relied on it to take her attack.

But what of it? Once targeted by her, how could a True Lake Realm create any waves?

In front, Lu Ye buried his head and fled. If he weren't afraid of exposing his identity by using the wings spirit runes, he would have activated them already. For now, he could only use Move-Like-The-Wind, yet with his True Lake Level 3 cultivation, he still moved like lightning.

But then again, the gap in cultivation was too vast, even activating the wings might have been useless.

A huge doubt welled up inside him.

Because he vaguely felt that Liew Yuemei had no intention of killing him!

Otherwise, the earlier attack couldn't possibly have been so mild.

With the protection of the Crimson Dragon Battle Suit and his own strong physique, although caught off guard by that attack, it only caused him minor injuries.

He wouldn't think the other was kind enough to spare him; from the brief moment when their eyes met, he had already seen the hatred and killing intent boiling in her eyes.

Having the opportunity but not killing him, she must intend to capture him alive!

The power gap between them was immense, and Liew Yuemei indeed had the means to capture him alive.

This was likely to take him back for the sake of the deceased Tan Shu!

In a flash, Lu Ye had discerned Liew Yuemei's intentions.

For him, this was actually good news. If a Divine Sea Realm cultivator was truly intent on killing him, his chances of survival would be minimal.

If she wanted to capture him alive, at least his immediate situation wouldn't be too perilous.

As he contemplated this, Liew Yuemei's second attack came.

Lu Ye sensed it but couldn't dodge, once again being struck heavily on the back.

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Lu Ye saw stars explode before his eyes, his body uncontrollably plummeting downward.

Even though the pain in his chest and abdomen was unbearable, it confirmed his earlier speculation, Liew Yuemei had no intention of killing him now, indeed she wanted to capture him alive.

Before he hit the ground, the third attack arrived.

At this, Lu Ye didn't even think about dodging; he hurriedly activated the Crimson Dragon Battle Suit's built-in defenses. Instantly, a light shield enveloped his body, like a protective array safeguarding him.

Such was the miraculous property of this treasure garment; it came with an internal protective array, triggered by spirit force, capable of producing wondrous effects if used properly.

Relying on the defense of the Crimson Dragon Battle Suit, he managed to block the third attack without danger.

His entire body fell into a building, crashing through its roof.

As he hit the ground, he immediately stood up, took a deep breath, forcibly calming the turbulent spirit force within, desperately pouring it into the sword gourd at his waist.

Looking up, Liew Yuemei swiftly floated down from the broken roof, evidently intending to capture him in one go.

Their gazes met, Liew Yuemei gritted her teeth, "You deserve to die!"

Speaking, she extended her hand to grab at Lu Ye from a distance, a large hand formed by pure spirit force descended, and the already dilapidated house instantly collapsed.

Lu Ye patted the sword gourd at his waist, whispering, "Go!"

Boundless sword light surged, whistling out from the sword gourd, many sword lights transformed into a sword dragon, snaking its way toward the spirit force hand.

Such a technique was clearly beyond what a True Lake Level 3 could display, even Liew Yuemei was momentarily stunned.

She grew furious, the speed at which the spirit force hand pressed down became even more aggressive.

The sword dragon collided with it, and as many sword lights extinguished instantly.

The quality of the sword gourd indeed surpassed Lu Ye's comprehension, but at this moment, he couldn't harness even a fraction of its power; he relied solely on the Sword Qi converted from the spiritual artifact the sword gourd had devoured.

He could instantly slay a True Lake Level 7 cultivator like Tan Shu, but facing a Divine Sea Realm like Liew Yuemei, such means were still inadequate.

Fortunately, he managed to slightly delay the spirit force hand's pressing speed.
