Although Lu Ye’s voice was hushed, they could hear him clearly as they were all Cloud River Realm Masters. It was understandable that they were incensed.

 

Despite their fury, they knew that Lu Ye wasn’t wrong.

 

They were not from the same Sect, so they were not so close to each other. Even though they had joined forces to deal with Lu Ye, they had their own ulterior motives, and there was no planning or a leader to give them instructions.

 

That was the reason Lu Ye could always run away every time he was hunted down. Therefore, despite their displeasure, none of them refuted him.

 

Now, they were certain that there wasn’t an ambush in this area, and Lu Ye supposedly didn’t have time to build the Wards he relied heavily on. As such, they were doubtful as to why he remained calm and collected.

 

The atmosphere became strange all of a sudden. There were many people on the Thousand Demon Ridge’s side while Lu Ye was on his own, but at this moment, they were the ones who appeared hesitant. It was as though he had gained the upper hand instead.

 

“Aren’t you going to make a move?” Lu Ye asked lightly.

 

No one replied to him. Only a wind breezed through them, and the atmosphere was intense.

 

Lu Ye drew a deep breath as his chest heaved. Then, he placed a foot forward and lowered his figure slightly before placing his hand on the Inviolable Saber at his waist.

 

He lowered his head as his fringes cast a shadow over his menacing gaze.

 

“If you’re not going to make a move, I will!” As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion was heard. The ground beneath him shattered like a broken mirror, and there were footprints where he had stood.

 

With the help of propulsion, he shot towards his enemies like an arrow.

 

The aura he carried felt like that of an ancient beast that had broken free or a furious Flood Dragon that had emerged from the waves. The cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge were horrified by his dominance and ferocity. They had been wondering what Lu Ye was up to, but much to their surprise, he simply pounced on them like this.

 

Although they couldn’t be considered a large crowd, there were around 200 people.

 

He was going against 200 people on his own, and he had taken the initiative to flare up. How audacious was he? There was no doubt he had no regard for them.

 

All of them were indignant as they made a move at the same time. At that instant, dazzling lights of different colours that came from the Spirit Artifacts and spells intertwined with each other and shot forward. Among the spells, two Fire Dragons looked especially conspicuous.

 

Those were the spells cast by Chu Yun and Zhou Pei. Although Cult Blackfyre was a Tier-Four Sect now, they used to be Tier-One. As such, their disciples naturally wouldn’t be weak. Since both of them were Ninth-Order Masters, their attacks were undoubtedly ferocious.

 

Considering Lu Ye’s speed, he could evade most of the attacks, but he couldn’t possibly dodge everything when faced with the bombardment of attacks.

 

A crack was heard as Lu Ye’s Protection Glyph was shattered.

 

When he fell into the vortex of attacks, all the Protection Glyphs around him came apart in just one breath of time. Even his Spiritual Power Shield was destroyed.

 

Lu Ye’s blood streamed out of his wounds as it left behind a trail in the air while he bolted forward. At the same time, the two Fire Dragons approached Lu Ye from both sides under the control of Chu Yun and Zhou Pei.

 

The Fire Dragons growled and swayed their bodies. Their flames soon engulfed Lu Ye. When the cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge saw that, they were surprised, and they even had the urge to celebrate their victory.

 

Although they had no idea why Lu Ye was so conceited as to think that he could go against so many of them on his own, it wasn’t a wise move, after all.

 

They found it a shame that they had launched an attack together. Even if they managed to kill Lu Ye, they would have to share the reward, and each person wouldn’t get many benefits.

 

“Watch out! He’s not dead!” exclaimed someone among the crowd. It wasn’t certain who gave them the warning.

 

As soon as the person finished speaking, a familiar figure dashed out of the flames. They could see that Lu Ye looked battered, and his clothes were torn apart, but there were no signs of him getting burned by the spells. It was as though the two Fire Dragons didn’t hurt him one bit.

 

Chu Yun and Zhou Pei were astounded. No one knew better than them how powerful the spells were. Even a Ninth-Order Master couldn’t take on their attacks without getting hurt, but Lu Ye had managed to achieve that, not to mention that his Protection Glyphs and Spiritual Power Shield had already been shattered.

 

In other words, despite being unprotected, he could still take on their attacks without getting injured. How was that possible?

 

The appearance of the two Fire Dragons affected the vision and perception of the cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge, and they made a wrong judgement about the situation as a result.

 

Therefore, when Lu Ye came into their sight, none of them could come to their senses. His figure exuded a domineering and savage aura, which was tinged with an indescribable sense of aggression and pressure. The cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge at the head fell into a dazed state as though their souls had been snatched away from them.

 

Following that, a Saber Light flickered and kicked up a storm of bloodlust. Blood splattered and limbs flew away. As shrieks were heard, their corpses fell to the ground. Wherever Lu Ye went, no one was a match for him.

 

In the blink of an eye, he managed to penetrate the crowd and reached Chu Yun and Zhou Pei. It wasn’t until this moment that the two Spell Cultivators from Cult Blackfyre came to their senses, and they were flabbergasted.

 

In fact, Lu Ye had targeted them. It was common sense in Jiu Zhou that in a scuffle that involved many people, Spell Cultivators had to be dealt with first.

 

Once people like Spell Cultivators were given the space to widen the gap and use their moves, they could fully activate their powers. Moreover, compared with Combat Cultivators and Body-tempering Cultivators, who were used to close-quarters combat, Spell Cultivators had weaker bodies, so it was easier to kill them.

 

Many Spell Cultivators had gathered here, and Chu Yun and Zhou Pei were the most powerful among them. It was only natural that Lu Ye had set his eyes on them.

 

They didn’t expect Lu Ye could come close to them so easily, and they knew that they had made a mistake by casting the Fire Dragons. Nevertheless, it never crossed their minds that Lu Ye would be unharmed after getting struck by their spells.

 

Since a Combat Cultivator had come close, Spell Cultivators like them naturally had to widen the gap between them.

 

Seeing that Lu Ye’s saber was about to strike them, they activated their powers without hesitation. The propulsion spread, and they flew backwards with the help of it.

 

The unsuspecting cultivators around them collapsed to the ground, and the situation plunged into chaos.

 

Lu Ye seemed to be forced to move backwards for several metres due to the propulsion as well.

 

However, Chu Yun could clearly see that Lu Ye had proactively moved backwards instead of getting pushed away.

 

It was apparent that Lu Ye had some experiences dealing with Spell Cultivators in the past, and those memories were not pleasant.

 

When Chu Yun saw what was going on behind Lu Ye, he instantly became at ease. That was because this short moment was sufficient for nearby cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge to come over to help. Xia Liang and Tan Sheng had arrived as their Spiritual Powers and vitalities surged. They didn’t hold back their powers when they attacked.

 

“Go to Hell!” Xia Liang growled.

 

He attempted to strike Lu Ye’s back with his saber. At the same time, Tan Sheng and the more agile cultivators made a move.

 

As if having eyes on his back, Lu Ye activated his Spiritual Power and formed a layer of Protection Glyph to protect him.

 

The attacks struck the barrier formed from the Protection Glyph and shattered it. Following that, the attacks landed on Lu Ye’s back and inflicted wounds on his flesh.

 

Xia Liang frowned at that moment, for something was off with the sensation he felt through his saber. Supposedly, even if the power of his attack was reduced due to the Protection Glyph, it could still break Lu Ye’s back. Coupled with the attacks from Tan Sheng and the others, there was no way Lu Ye could survive.

 

Nevertheless, he could sense that his attack didn’t cause Lu Ye any lethal injury.

 

He had struck a Ninth-Order Body-tempering Cultivator from the Grand Sky Coalition in the past. The other party had a robust physique, so his attack didn’t cause him any serious injuries. The man had only suffered some flesh wounds.

 

The battle lasted for half a day until the other party was drained of all energy and passed away.

 

The attack on Lu Ye at this moment felt more intense than the strike back then.

 

[Why is his physique so sturdy?] Before Xia Liang could ponder, his expression changed. “Damn it!”

 

With the help of the powers coming from these attacks, Lu Ye charged forward at the speed of lightning, and he reached Zhou Pei the next instant.

 

Zhou Pei was terrified. She and Chu Yun had just pushed Lu Ye away using a spell. Even though they were Ninth-Order Masters, their surging Spiritual Powers needed time to calm. Therefore, she was at her most fragile at this moment.

 

On the other hand, Lu Ye reached her at such a critical moment.

 

Feeling the immense and violent aura, she seemed to hear the calling of death. She madly activated her Spiritual Power, but she didn’t form a barrier around her. That was because she had a feeling that any form of protection would be futile at this point.

 

Sparks of light wafted from her body and soon covered a large area. Every spark exuded a dangerous aura. It was the prelude to Prairie Fire Explosion!

 

Back then, Huo Liaoyuan had used this Secret Technique of Cult Blackfyre on Lu Ye on the Deathmatch Platform, and the move was tremendously powerful. Since Huo Liaoyuan could use it, Zhou Pei naturally could do the same.

 

It had to be said that this woman from Cult Blackfyre was resolute and feisty. Not only did she go hard on her opponent, but she was also harsh to herself. That was because once the Secret Technique was activated, both Lu Ye and she would be dragged into it. As for who would live, it depended on which one of them could overpower the other.
