Sage of Humanity
Chapter 946 - 944: Can't Let You Stay

Liew Yuemei never expected that a mere True Lake Level 3 cultivator could possess such a profound foundation, it was beyond her imagination.

One must understand that her previous three attacks were all made with the intent to severely injure Lu Ye, each strike executed with increasing ferocity.

Yet, under the assault of three magic and spell attacks, this Li Taibai still hadn't lost the capability to act, and even had the strength left to resist her.

Tan Shu died exactly under such methods...

She had heard that Li Taibai, who slew Tan Shu, was a sword cultivator, who could command Sword Qi to kill enemies, a person with deep strategies, engaging Haotian Alliance soldiers in six battles. In the first five battles, he never exerted his full effort, not even harming or killing his opponents, yet suddenly in the last battle, he struck decisively.

Tan Shu's death was partly due to his complacency and carelessness, but also resulted from Li Taibai's calculated steps.

Regarding Li Taibai, Liew Yuemei was understandably infuriated! She came this time precisely to capture him and bring him back, to place him before Tan Shu's grave as a sacrifice to console his spirit.

Originally expecting an easy capture, she didn't foresee all these turbulent events arising now, getting further enraged as her tricks were resisted by a mere True Lake Realm.

Just as she prepared to overpower and seize Lu Ye, a distant shout came through: "Fellow Daoist Liew, swiftly resolve this!"

It was another Divine Sea Realm at Jinglan Lake Pass calling out.

Although they broke through Jinglan Lake Pass's protective array this time by surprise, using twenty thousand Explosive Fire Spirit Stones combined with the might of Destructive Lightning Spears, earlier casualties were considerable, and now frontal combat wasn't giving Haotian Alliance cultivators much advantage.

Moreover, they were still in Ten Thousand Demons Ridge territory, which surely has already requested reinforcements, so for Haotian Alliance, prolonged battle is unfavorable.

He had an agreement with Liew Yuemei, that he and another invited Divine Sea Realm would hold off Lin Yue and Zhang Kun, while Liew Yuemei would swiftly kill Li Taibai and other Ten Thousand Demons Ridge soldiers at the pass, aiming to cripple the defenders of the Dark Moon Forest Pass this battle.

Then they could safely retreat.

But now, it seemed Liew Yuemei hadn't fulfilled her part of the deal, she must be planning to capture Li Taibai alive, otherwise how could it be that she hadn't succeeded yet?

The situation currently doesn't look favorable for Haotian Alliance, if Liew Yuemei continues to be delayed, these people will likely pay an enormous price when trying to leave.

Helpless, he could only shout from afar.

Liew Yuemei, though somewhat blinded by hatred, was still ultimately a Divine Sea Realm, how could she not understand the change in the battlefield situation?

She had intended to capture Li Taibai alive, but seeing his capabilities, she realized she can't continue delaying.

"I'll leave you no chance!" Liew Yuemei roared, murderous intent already surged.

Such foundation in just a mere True Lake Level 3, what if this person were allowed to grow?

In recent years, Haotian Alliance had encountered Lu Yiye of the Righteous Blood Sect, so dazzling that in both Spirit Stream and Cloud River battlefields, he stirred major sects of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge into a frenzy, top sects were helpless against him.

Because of certain special reasons, Liew Yuemei is also paying close attention to Lu Ye.

But given the current situation, this Li Taibai is no worse than Lu Yiye, perhaps even feeling stronger.

One might say, the present Li Taibai is Ten Thousand Demons Ridge's own Lu Yiye!

Ten Thousand Demons Ridge doesn't have a good way to deal with the real Lu Yiye, but she now had control of Li Taibai's worth and life, personal vendetta came first, heaven-sent opportunity, she must eradicate.

As she roared, all her spirit force surged, along with mystical energies, directly impacting Lu Ye.

Apparently unleashing a Mental Consciousness attack.

Her cultivation was much stronger than what Lu Ye previously encountered at Xianxia Mountain with Ning Hu, reaching Divine Sea Level 7.

Ning Hu was considered just entered the Divine Sea Realm, moreover, Xianxia Mountain being a 4th grade sect, its foundation wasn't strong, so his usage of Mental Consciousness attack was extremely simplistic, just merely pushing his own Mental Consciousness out.

Yet, Liew Yuemei was different, born from 1st grade Tianyuan Sect, her cultivation compared to Ning Hu was higher by five levels, undoubtedly her usage of Mental Consciousness was more sophisticated.

With the Mental Consciousness attack's emergence, Lu Ye felt as though calamity was imminently approaching.

In a blur, he faintly sensed a sharp attack cutting from the void, penetrating his mind in an instant.

He instantly recognized what was happening, after having such experiences before, first time is unknown, second familiar, third times are smooth sailing.

A mix of amusement and frustration filled him.

Other True Lake Realm rarely faces such misfortune being targeted by Divine Sea Realm, but he has encountered this thrice since leaving Cloud River battlefield.

The first time wasn't really targeting, Yu Bo's Mental Consciousness attack against Nian Yuexian swept over him, still it directly led him into a coma, although later it was a blessing in disguise, birthing his own Divine Pool.

The second was Ning Hu at Xianxia Mountain.

This was the third time!

Lu Ye was endlessly grateful for his foresight, having spent a huge price to defend his Divine Pool, and learning Twin Dragons Guarding the Sea from gold and silver flood dragons, otherwise back at Xianxia Mountain, he would've faced dire consequences.

The Golden Lock dangling on his chest flashed a ray of light and simultaneously, in his mind resonated Dragon's Wail, indicating twofold defense mechanisms triggered.

The protection from the Golden Locks was barely effective, and this time, the Twin Dragons Guarding the Sea couldn't fully protect Lu Ye. The attack slashed straight through, breaking past the Twin Dragons Guarding the Sea and cutting into his Divine Pool!

It's not that Twin Dragons Guarding the Sea is too weak; after all, it's merely a protective means left by the two flood dragons beside Lu Ye's Divine Pool. Moreover, Liew Yuemei attacked with full force driven by a killing intent, naturally making it hard for Twin Dragons Guarding the Sea to completely defend.

Liew Yuemei's Divine Thought Slash was weakened considerably, yet it still cut into the Divine Pool.

Without causing any ripple…

The Soul Suppressing Pagoda, exchanged from the Hall of Battle Merits, truly lives up to being an exceptional Soul Device. With this pagoda guarding the Divine Pool, there's no fear of the pool suffering a devastating blow.

If it were any other True Lake Realm, even if it were a Level 9 realm, it might have perished on the spot from such an attack.

Lu Ye merely felt a slight pain deep in his mind, but no other harm was done.

Yet he exaggeratedly screamed loudly, and even his spirit force became extremely scattered at that moment, feigning the appearance of having suffered a deadly blow.

The scattering of spirit force resulted in the defense barrier formed by multiple Sword Qi instantly becoming loose, losing its ability to resist.

"Die!" shouted Liew Yuemei fiercely.

A large hand of spirit force pressed down, drowning out Lu Ye's figure.

Dust swirled, and Liew Yuemei swept her sleeve to disperse the dust cover, looking down she saw Lu Ye lying flat on the ground, blood pooled beneath him, his whole body like a shattered porcelain, with cracks all over the exposed skin, blood trickling out.

Motionless, with a weakened breath, the spirit force fluctuations emanating from him were surprisingly only at the Spirit Stream Realm...

Glaring at Lu Ye with hatred, Liew Yuemei gritted her teeth: "Consider yourself lucky!"

She originally intended to capture him alive and take him back, but now was forced to kill him, feeling a nagging disappointment she struggled to vent.

She didn't bother to check on Lu Ye's life or death, confident that after suffering her various methods before, even if he didn't die on the spot, he wouldn't survive longer than one incense stick's time. Leaving him to linger in despair before death was more satisfying to her.

Turning, she headed towards the crowd of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. As a Divine Sea Level 7 realm without restraint, she wreaked havoc, causing heavy casualties, which Lin Yue and Zhang Kun watched with furious but helpless eyes.

After a savage slaughter, releasing the pent-up resentments, Liew Yuemei gave a low shout: "Retreat!"

The Haotian Alliance cultivators engaged across the Dark Moon Forest Pass received the order and retreated while continuing to fight, demonstrating excellent military discipline.

Though Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had intentions to pursue, they were frightened by Liew Yuemei's might, not daring to advance rashly.

Moments later, as they came grandly, the Haotian Alliance withdrew in the same manner, even taking all the corpses of the fallen cultivators with them.

Though both Lin Yue and Zhang Kun were furious, they could do nothing but watch the enemy withdraw from Jinglan Lake Pass, feeling suffocated with anger.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed in the sky, suddenly a violent storm descended.

Dark Moon Forest Pass was in ruins.

Amongst the debris, large raindrops fell, Lu Ye lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes, painfully reached out and placed the Golden Body Token, hidden in his sleeve, into his storage space.

If Liew Yuemei had insisted on completely eradicating him, he would have had to use the Golden Body Token to guard against her, otherwise, he would certainly be dead.

Fortunately, Liew Yuemei believed he wouldn't live much longer, leaving him alone. Of course, time was of the essence for her as she knew her advantage would not last long. Otherwise, once reinforcements from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge's surrounding Divine Sea realms arrived, not only would her situation be perilous but Haotian Alliance's soldiers would also suffer huge losses.

The plan to capture alive turning into a kill wasn't what Liew Yuemei wanted, but at least it avenged Tan Shu's death.

"Liew..." Lu Ye's gaze was indifferent. He didn't know Liew Yuemei's name, but from the earlier call from another Divine Sea realm, it was clear her surname was Liew.

Reflecting on the recent battle, it was extremely perilous. At the critical moment, he had a flash of inspiration, enabling him to escape major distress.

At the very moment the opponent used a Divine Thought attack, Lu Ye had only two options, to follow the flow or counter it.

Following the flow led to this current outcome.

Countering it would have only brought about even fiercer attacks, and at that point, the Golden Body Token would have been unusable.

So, Lu Ye decided promptly to pretend he was being disturbed by the Divine Thought attack, even letting his spirit force turn chaotic. How a True Lake Realm would react to such means, he mimicked; after all, having truly encountered it before, he knew well how to disguise.

As for the Spirit Stream Realm's spirit force fluctuations emitted from his body, it was naturally the effect of Pseudo-Might.

Liew Yuemei, seeing his weakened spirit force fluctuations and miserable appearance after taking a hit from her Divine Thought attack, naturally assumed he wouldn't live much longer.

Unaware that it was all just a facade...

There wasn't much bitterness; he had no stance to bear hatred. Ultimately, he was from the Haotian Alliance, and having killed Tan Shu, it was natural for the other side to seek revenge for Tan Shu.

If he were truly from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, then harboring resentment against Liew Yuemei would only be natural.

However... To stir up such a large-scale battle just to take personal vengeance, even causing the death of not a few Haotian Alliance soldiers here, is greatly unjustified!

Having someone like that in charge at Jinglan Lake Pass is truly lamentable for the soldiers there!
