er, the might of the Wan Du Zhu weakened him by more than half his strength, leaving him unable to even block a single strike from Lu Ye.Up to this point, all the cultivators who left the Holy Spirit...It has to be said that both Fan Yunhua and Jia Yu have extremely rich combat experience and escape instincts.

Almost at the same time the two moved, Lu Ye also acted.

He didn't choose to flee. If possible, he would rather have Fan Yunhua and Jia Yu cooperate with him. These two were both at the later stage of Xingxu, and together with him, they might be able to fight Yue Yao.

He showed no signs of letting up, and after severing Zhu Yuan's arm, a flurry of sword strikes enveloped him.

Zhu Yuanxing's cultivation in his later years was quite impressive, his strength formidable. If they were to fight one-on-one, Lu Ye would have had to put in a lot of effort to win. However, he ultimately paid the price for his overconfidence and underestimation.

But in the absence of knowledge regarding Zhu Yuan's destination, even if he had such an idea, where would he place the defensive instrument

With a grip on the Pishan sword in his hand, Lu Ye looked towards the dark cave, channeling his spiritual energy, he charged resolutely into it!

If death is inevitable, it's better to die on the battlefield than wait passively for it.ike me to translate!>>He wanted to gather intelligence and had some other matters to attend to, so naturally he chose such a place. He also hoped to familiarize himself with the area through Wanxiang...
