Lu Yiye broke through and fled!

The news spread quickly, and the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, to their great surprise, checked the Spirit Stream Ranking only to find that Zhu Pang, who was originally ranked sixth, had vanished without a trace!

From the moment Lu Ye had entered the combat field to the moment he reappeared, it had been less than thirty breaths of time, yet Zhu Pang's name had already been erased from the Spirit Stream Ranking, which undoubtedly indicated one thing... Zhu Pang was killed!

What a waste Zhu Pang was!

With Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators constantly setting up arrays ahead to intercept, Lu Ye's escape was expected. With Amber's current pace, ordinary demon beasts could not catch up with him, but there were over a dozen flying demon beasts in the sky that they couldn't shake off, continually broadcasting Lu Ye's whereabouts in all directions.

The nearby Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators could naturally make some preparations in advance based on the direction of Lu Ye's flight.

In the face of these interceptions, Lu Ye avoided them when he could, and when avoidance was impossible, he would simply carve a bloody path through.

After traveling for half a Shichen, another group of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators blocked his way ahead. There weren't too many of them, about thirty or so, but their calm and composed demeanor indicated they had been stationed here for a while.

By looking at the physique and attire of these Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, it was clear that they were physique and combat cultivators without a doubt.

With the origin magnetic ore whistling and spirit force forbidden, the fragile magic and ghost cultivators dared not show their faces outdoors, let alone the healing cultivators.

Facing the young man riding the White Tiger, the frontline physique cultivators spread out to intercept, while the combat cultivators behind them tightly gripping their Spiritual Artifacts.

Some of the physique cultivators even shouted loudly, "Lu Ye, come and meet your death swiftly!"

Lu Ye couldn't be bothered to respond. Without needing his orders, Amber charged to one side. Though he was not afraid of these Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators and was confident he could kill quite a few of them, he was alone after all. He needed to avoid any fight he could, conserving his strength and energy as much as possible.

However, just as Amber dashed out thirty zhang, Lu Ye suddenly felt an alarm in his heart.

At the same time, as Amber galloped forward, it stumbled and a pit collapsed beneath its feet — the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators had dug a pit in advance, and it was filled with Sharpness blades.

If Amber were to fall into such a pit, although it wouldn't be fatal, it would undoubtedly be in a sorry state. If the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge people then attacked, escaping would be difficult.

In an instant, Lu Ye understood the plan of those Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators; they had been blustering on that side deliberately to lure him to take a detour. If he had chosen that route, he would have fallen right into their trap.

Because no matter which side he would have taken, there would be pits with such a trap laid out.

Luckily, Amber's reflexes were extremely quick. The moment it sensed something wrong underfoot, it leapt high into the air.

With a rustling sound, several excellently concealed figures suddenly emerged from the smooth ground before them. As those people appeared the ground suddenly turned over to reveal a series of barriers resembling caltrops, with Sharpness spikes angled toward the direction Amber had leapt.

Not just that, from further back, six more individuals also leaped into the air, drawing out a huge net that swept down from above.

The meticulous preparation from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge side began to reveal itself.

Now, with Amber in mid-air and nowhere to leverage, if it were to just fall like that, it would definitely hit those caltrops with Sharpness, and even if Amber was thick-skinned, it would surely be injured by such an impact, possibly even being pierced through.

With a tiger's roar shaking the heavens, Amber clearly sensed the crisis, but it was powerless to change anything.

Though sentient and understanding of human nature, Amber was after all just a demon beast; it didn't know human cunning.

As Amber began to fall, the eyes of the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators lit up with anticipation.

Just then, Lu Ye suddenly flipped down from Amber's back, grabbing one of its large ears. While in mid-air, he forcefully turned his body by leveraging the spin, and with that momentum, he flung Amber away, altering its landing spot.

He himself, however, headed straight for the caltrops.

In an instant, as he neared them, Lu Ye acted quickly, grabbing hold of one Sharpness spike. He pushed off it with his palm, vaulting over the Sharpness barrier, and upon landing, he slid for several zhang before stabilizing his figure.

"Roar!" Amber roared angrily as it landed heavily, just as a large net was sweeping over its head!

The net, conjured by several Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, was originally aimed at Lu Ye. But Lu Ye's movements were still more agile than those of Amber. The cultivators couldn't target him for the moment and had to settle for capturing Amber first.

No sooner had Lu Ye steadied himself than he was surrounded by Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, with the same thirty-plus cultivators he had seen before rushing towards him quickly!

Meanwhile, Amber was roaring in rage, trying to break free from the net. If it had been an ordinary item, Amber's immense strength would have easily torn it apart. But that net was clearly a Spiritual Artifact, and though the cultivators were currently unable to use spirit force to bring out its full power, its toughness was a given. Amber was trapped and could not escape immediately!

"We need more people here, quick! We can't hold it down!" someone shouted in panic.

The people of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had truly underestimated Amber's strength. Six Core Circle cultivators working together, all physique and combat cultivators, using a spirit net, still could not contain the enraged Amber, and they were almost injured by its powerful charge.

The supportive thirty-plus cultivators immediately rushed over, each taking hold of a corner of the net, exerting pressure on Amber.

```

While Amber was trapped, Lu Ye had already engaged the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators surrounding him!

Knowing his time was limited, he naturally wouldn't foolishly stand still. If he couldn't rescue Amber and break through the encirclement quickly, he feared this might indeed be where he would fall.

What he could see was only the numerous Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, but out of his sight, even more enemies were rushing over, so the longer he delayed, the more it played against him.

The Boulder Mountain Saber had been unsheathed, charging towards a physique cultivator. In an instant, he closed the distance and brought his saber slashing down upon the cultivator!

This physique cultivator was also holding a sabre-shaped Spiritual Artifact, but it was a conventional cleaver that was wider and shorter than Lu Ye's Boulder Mountain Saber.

As the saber sliced down, the physique cultivator met it with a slash of his own.

A clanging sound echoed as the physique cultivator's eyes bulged with shock, and his cleaver was sent flying from his grasp!

Without the ability to channel spirit force, the cultivators could only rely on their physical strength. Under normal circumstances, the 8th Heaven physique cultivator would never dare to clash directly with Lu Ye. Who didn't know that Lu Yiye of the Righteous Blood Sect could slaughter cultivators of his own level as easily as chopping chickens?

But now was the time for physique cultivators to shine, and he thought he could at least hold Lu Yiye back a bit.

The result, however, was shockingly devastating.

He couldn't match the opponent's strength at all. In the moment his cleaver flew out of his hand, the web of his thumb split open.

Then a flash of sabre light whipped past his face, and the physique cultivator clutched his throat as he staggered backward. Blood trickled through the gaps between his fingers.

With two slashes, Lu Ye killed a physique cultivator, but at the same time, he was struck by several Spiritual Artifacts. As his body shook slightly, pain signals indicated he had been injured.

His physique was indeed strong, but it wasn't to the extent that he could completely ignore sharp weapons, especially when wielded by Core Circle cultivators.

Paying no mind to his own wounds, Lu Ye swung his sabre towards another enemy, this time aiming at a combat cultivator holding a long spear.

As the sabre light barreled towards him, the combat cultivator panicked, clearly trying to retreat to avoid it, but the strike was too swift. As the thought to dodge formed, the sabre had already slashed across his chest.

Struck as if by a massive mountain, the man was launched into the air. His chest caved in, flesh rent and bones shattered, blood spouted wildly, and he fell backward to the ground, life or death unknown.

Lu Ye well knew that in such a situation, being attacked on all sides if he remained stationary, he couldn't stand still. If he let the enemies form a circle around him, they would lead him by the nose.

So his sabre continuously slashed as he moved with it, targeting one direction to break through. As long as he killed quickly enough, the enemies would never be able to attack from behind. As for the attacks coming from the front and sides, he could block or ignore them depending on the situation.

In most cases, he chose to ignore... because he needed to repel these people in the shortest time possible, so he could only opt for a strategy of exchanging injury for life!

One sabre strike per combat cultivator, two for a physique cultivator. When Lu Ye cut through the ranks of the many Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, seven or eight had already fallen along his path!

Not even ten breaths of time!

The Boulder Mountain Sabre dripped with fresh blood, and Lu Ye was covered in wounds. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

Turning around, he flicked the blood from his Boulder Mountain Sabre and once again charged towards the crowd from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge.

His formidable physique gave him strength and speed surpassing that of a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. In an environment where spirit force was forbidden and all cultivators were unable to channel their spirit force, the advantage of having a strong physique was inherently amplified to the limit!

Watching the blood-soaked young figure with drooping eyelids and an expressionless face, even though there were dozens from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, they couldn't help but feel a chill.

Having slaughtered seven or eight in one charge, at this rate of killing, it was feared that in less than a pot of tea, everyone here would be wiped clean.

"Hold on, many Fellow Daoists are on their way here!" A physique cultivator, closest to Lu Ye, called out loudly to boost morale despite his panic.

Immediately, someone echoed, "That's right, if we don't kill him now, we might never have another chance again. My Fellow Daoists, do not be afraid. If we can hold him off, we've won!"

No sooner had their words fallen than Lu Ye charged at them again.

"Kill!" The physique cultivator who had just shouted roared furiously, being the first to meet Lu Ye, fearlessly charging at him.

However, as the long sabre slashed through, the physique cultivator's head soared into the sky.

After another round of charging, the number of Lu Ye's wounds increased even more, his whole body drenched in blood, some his own and some his enemies'.

Wherever he passed, nearly ten more Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators lay fallen.

This time, however, Lu Ye did not stop, instead charging towards where Amber was trapped.

Although he was capable of killing everyone here, doing so would come at a great cost to himself. The injuries left on him by the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators might not have been severe, but their sheer number was overwhelming. Nearly every person he killed added several wounds to his body.
