Chapter 263: Clear Skies

ore"Lu Ye lowered his head and glanced at it: "No need."My aptitude today is frighteningly low. Even if I chose a different sect, it probably wouldn't help. Rather than hope for the best, I might as w...Unknowingly, Lu Ye had been surrounded. Surrounding him were over twenty cultivators.

It's amazing how they managed to gather so many people in such a short time and set up this perimeter. It seems like the folks from Hanakago are looking for us as soon as they arrive, otherwise there wouldn't be this level of efficiency.

This is a dead end for any cultivator.

The tall woman from across the row looked at Lu Ye with eyes filled with anger, but within that anger was a tinge of satisfaction.

Revenge will be mine soon, and it will be sweet!

A tall and slender woman with the air of a scheming fox stood about ten feet in front of Lu Ye. There were two others beside her, one being a plump woman whose obesity was unnatural. Even under loose clothing, one could see layers upon layers of fat on her belly. Ironically, her skin was extremely pale, making her look like a large, white cocoon.

Another was a young woman, petite in stature and rather carefree in appearance. Her hair wasn't long, simply tied haphazardly at the back of her head. On her shoulders she carried a long sword, its blade longer than her entire body, creating a stark contrast with her diminutive frame.

"Senior Sister Qing, is this the one" The woman with the long sword looked up and down at Lu Ye, her voice carrying a hint of inquiry. Her gaze was similar to how Lu Ye would look at an enemy, searching for a suitable spot to strike.

The tall woman nodded slightly.

"He's not ugly, it's a pity to kill him like this." The white, plump woman on the other side was also sizing up Lu Ye, her eyes narrowed and a smile on her face, "Could we spare his life"

A tall woman said coldly, "I wouldn't let him die so easily!"

The plump woman covered her mouth with her hand, letting out a barbell-like laugh: “Thank you, Senior Sister Qing.” Looking at Lu Ye again, there was a hint of intriguing light in her eyes.

"Lu Yiye! Do you recognize who I am" The tall woman gritted her teeth and demanded.

After entering this place, Chu Qing quickly gathered the nearby manpower and simultaneously investigated Lu Ye's whereabouts.

By this time, Lu Ye had already run three zhang away from Chu Qing and the others. After his two defensive artifacts were shattered, he didn't bother with them anymore. Even though he could still control two artifacts when fighting up close, it would ultimately distract him.

In this life-or-death situation, losing focus will only lead to a quicker death.

Before he reached the seventh realm, he envied others' magical artifact skills. But after he could wield a magical artifact himself, he discovered that this technique, while impressive on the surface, had major drawbacks. It was only suitable for ranged combat against people. Once it came to close combat, the magical artifacts were basically useless.

Of course, if someone can stick to the enemy and their companions assist with weaponry, the effect will be very good.

All means are used solely for killing the enemy, it depends on how flexibly you can apply them.

Yanshan's sword seemed slow but was actually incredibly fast as he swung it out. However, the moment it left his grasp, a blade of light rushed towards him. Lu Ye had no choice but to change from offense to defense, blocking this ferocious attack.

In the next instant, a cacophony of clanging echoed through the air as spiritual weapons clashed, sparks flying in their wake.

As Chu Qing and the plump young woman were about to come to the rescue, a surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from behind them.

When the two turned around, they were both startled because, at some point, a squad of Immortal Guards had appeared behind them. The moment they turned, spirit binding chains shot down towards the two of them.

Amber's currently transformed ghoul spirits number thirty-one. Divided according to their original configurations, they were formed into six squads. Five squads ambushed the cultivators from the Windflower Courtyard, while one squad was brought here by Amber herself.

Even if Lu Ye could leap levels to kill enemies, facing three ninth-level cultivators with his eighth-level cultivation wouldn't be easy. But with a team of Xian Yuan guards assisting him, things would be different.

The attack came too suddenly, even for experienced warriors like Chuming and the plump woman. None of them, despite being at the Ninth Layer Realm, could react in time.

At a critical juncture, the stout woman nimbly sidestepped, using a agility that belied her corpulent frame to shield Chuqing. A series of binding chains materialized instantly, encircling her. Under the control of the Xian Yuan Guard, the chains tightened, compressing her ample figure into a series of fleshy bands. The stout woman gritted her teeth and roared, surging blood qi emanating from her body, nearly solidifying into tangible form as it surged outwards.

Chūqíng flashed out from behind her, each hand gripping a short sword. Though she was a woman, she fearlessly charged towards a Xianyuan Guard. The light of her spiritual weapons flickered, and her figure spun and dodged, playing a symphony of killing.e that method to divert their attention and lure them away.As for doing that, it didn't make much difference.
