Chapter 1673: Direction of Escape

flames burning in the sockets of the surrounding skeletons, this general's eyes blazed with a golden brilliance, like a miniature sun raging within.Creaking… creaking…He slowly rose from his throne,...As the Pianshan Sword slashed down, the surging red light enveloping Lu Ye flowed like liquid, converging towards the Pianshan Sword. Following that, a massive crimson blade aura, resembling a crescent moon, swept out.

A deafening cracking sound echoed as Lu Ye felt an excruciating pain shoot through his right arm, the one wielding the blade. His flesh tore apart, spraying crimson blood everywhere.

Even the Pianshan sword hummed slightly.

You have to know this is a blade transformed from the Bīng Zu Liáng, although it only shows the level of a Spirit Treasure now, that's because of Lu Ye's own cultivation level limitation. Its quality is definitely not as simple as just the level of a Spirit Treasure.

Regardless of how Lu Ye urged his own strength, the Panshan Blade never reacted abnormally. However, when this blade slashed down, the Panshan Blade vibrated slightly due to the feedback from the surging power.

Luckily, this was transformed by Liǎo. Had it still been the old Pán Shān Sword, Lü Yè suspected it would have shattered directly. The power of this single strike had already exceeded the limits a Spirit Treasure could withstand.

In the distance, the white-haired old man's pupils contracted to the size of needles. Although he felt a sense of foreboding the moment Lu Ye activated his swordsmanship, Lu Ye's movements were simply too fast. Caught off guard and unable to react in time, he was still immersed in the excitement and joy of about to harvest the King Flower of the Realm. In an instant, the threat of death descended upon him.

Seeing the red blade glow erupt, the white-haired elder instinctively wanted to flee. However, he was horrified to discover that this blade glow had completely locked his breath. Unless he possessed the ability to instantly teleport ten thousand miles away, there was no way to avoid this terrifying blow.

He hurriedly sacrificed an object, which looked like a beast bone. As magic power poured into it frantically, the beast bone shattered with a deafening roar, rolling back towards the white-haired old man. In the blink of an eye, a grayish light curtain enveloped the white-haired old man's body. Within the curtain, a phantom of a strange beast could be seen moving.

Not done yet, he simultaneously took out a small bell-shaped magic treasure and covered himself with it!

Though equipped with two powerful protective artifacts, the white-haired elder felt no sense of security at all.

But at this moment, there was no room for him to make any other move.

A crescent-shaped red blade slashed forward, cleaving through the air like a hot knife through butter. It sliced through the protective barrier of the young monk's magic artifact with ease and then pierced through the hazy light curtain, effortlessly penetrating the elder's body...

Far behind the old man, two Tiger Shark warships were watching the commotion. They had been driven away by the white-haired old man just moments ago. Unexpectedly, such a change occurred. The ones piloting these two Tiger Shark warships were all Starry Sky cultivators. Their reaction was not as fast as the white-haired old man's. When the crimson crescent blade glow arrived, they didn't even understand what was happening before being swept up in it.

First, he broke through the two layers of defense of the white-haired elder and killed him instantly. Then, he destroyed two Tiger Shark warships. Although the momentum of the crescent blade seemed to have weakened somewhat, its speed and power were still terrifying.

A deafening roar echoed through the void, causing the entire expanse of space to tremble. It was the crescent moon blade that had cleaved into the formation enveloping this starry sky, directly slashing a massive gap in it.

Many cultivators of the Divine Wind Star Thieves Guild were left dumbfounded and terrified. This sudden eruption of terror nearly made them think a sun had descended upon them.

Li Ye swiftly rushed towards the gap!

Although he had slain the strongest of the Yue Yao late-stage experts, the opponent still had two Tiger Shark warships and one Yue Yao early-stage expert, as well as a considerable number of enemies. This place is not suitable for a long stay.

Now that the large formation has been broken, it's naturally important to flee this place as quickly as possible.

Before the cultivators of the Shen Feng Xing Dao sect could even react, Lu Ye had already charged to the gap in the formation.

Just when he was relieved that everything was going according to plan, suddenly his brow furrowed and he turned back.

Only a tattered, palm-sized puppet appeared where the white-haired elder had died. There was no sign of him.

The puppet's body had a huge wound, piercing through it from the inside out. Judging by the location and size of the wound, it was exactly the same as the injury the white-haired old man had sustained earlier.

Stand-in puppet!

Lu Ye recognized this thing at once, because he had seen it in the Starry Palace before. This thing was a priceless treasure for saving lives. It could transfer all injuries to a substitute puppet when sustaining fatal damage, thus preserving his own life.

Starry skies hold secrets, and death puppets are treasures beyond compare, exceedingly rare.

Lu Ye had already activated his blood escape technique, his figure transforming into a streak of blood light as he rushed forward. The moment he burst out of the gap in the formation, three blood avatars materialized, joining him to form four separate entities that fled in different directions.

Although he hadn't expected the white-haired old man to have a substitute puppet like this, he had already made various deductions while waiting in the flower world before. Therefore, any bad situations were within his range of response.

What worried him most was that there might be more than the two Yueyao he had seen from the Stormwind Pirates. What if some were hiding, and he hadn't noticed them before

The situation is a bit bad, but not that bad.

The Fengxing Pirates only had two months left, one in the later stage and one in the early stage. The white-haired elder used a substitute puppet to die in his place, but this was something he hadn't expected at all, so he still had to endure being chased by Yue Yao in her later stage for a month.

Whether he can escape depends on his abilities.

I have to say, Yue Yao's late-stage divine sense is indeed powerful. After all, she was only one step away from reaching the level of sunlight exposure. Although Lu Ye had killed a late-stage Yue Yao in the past, the opponent was a Blood Clan and was restrained by his abilities. At that time, there was also Li Shang's soul attached to him, so it couldn't be considered a fair fight.

A white-haired elder like this, at a glance one can tell he is someone who has lived for many years. He is a powerful being who has immersed himself in this realm for countless centuries. Even a simple divine sense attack from him is not something that Star Constellation cultivators can withstand.

The fact that Lu Ye was safe and sound was all thanks to the Seven-Colored Lotus.

When the white-haired elder unleashed his soul attack, he had already activated his sacred shield, forming layers of protection within his sea of consciousness. Unfortunately, the vast difference in their cultivation levels proved too much. The layers of protection shattered almost instantly, leaving him vulnerable. The spear-like attack then plunged into his sea of consciousness, causing a monstrous wave to surge.

Under normal circumstances, if a celestial being encountered such an attack, either their divine sea would be shattered or their soul would be wounded. Let alone escaping, it's doubtful they could even survive.

But at this moment of crisis, seven colorful rays of light suddenly spread out from the Seven-Colored Lotus. Wherever the rays passed, the turbulent sea calmed down very quickly.r all, the Soul Clan is inherently a soul body, and their cultivation focuses on soul techniques. This is something that no other race's cultivator can match.However, Lu Ye had used quite a few treasu...
