Chapter 2883 The City Falls

Lu Ye did not insist on killing the guardian of the Dao within; in fact, he considered the other's life or death to be insignificant.

"Fine!" A look of humiliation flashed in the eyes of the third deputy city lord, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed, and then made a vow.

He wasn't the only one in the central hall.

Previously, his communication with Lu Ye was only through telepathy, so others couldn't hear anything. But now, as he made his vow, all the cultivators could hear it clearly.

They were all stunned into silence.

These people were still working hard here to maintain the inner formation and hinder the enemy, but the He Dao, who was in charge of guarding this place, actually surrendered.

They didn't even say hello to them.

But this third deputy city lord didn't care about anything else. After making the vow, he immediately flashed to the Dao Integration Pearl and pressed it down.

Almost at the same moment his figure dissipated and fled to the Hehe Realm, the inner formation of the Central Hall was suddenly broken.

Lu Ye, radiating a chilling killing intent, stormed into the main hall like a tiger descending a mountain.

In an instant, pairs of terrified eyes turned to him.

As the longsword spun, a lotus flower suddenly bloomed around Lu Ye, each petal composed of fine blade light.

The lotus flower vanished, and the hall was filled with blood; apart from him, there were no survivors.

He flashed to the high platform, looked at the dazzling pearl in front of him, and raised his hand to blast it forward. Many fragments flew out in all directions, but were intercepted.

At this point, Shibu City fell!

Including Yifu City and Senluo City, this is the third of the Ten Great Dao Cities that Lu Ye has personally broken through.

Of the so-called top ten cities in the entire Star Abyss, only six remain today. The destruction of four top-tier Dao Integration Cities in such a short time is unprecedented.

Unfortunately, all four cities that have been destroyed are directly or indirectly related to Lu Ye.

Almost the instant Lu Ye broke through the Dao Integration Pearl of Ten Steps City, exclamations of surprise rang out from another battlefield in the city. It was the Ten Steps City experts, led by Xuan Wuzong.

Xue Jiu was powerful, and Xuan Wuzong had to personally lead many of his experts to have a chance to fight him. They originally thought that as long as they could hold out here and resolve the trouble in the central hall, they could force Xue Jiu to retreat.

To Xuanwuzong's surprise, while the battlefield was stabilized, the central hall was lost!

And it was lost without any warning!

The moment the Dao-Merging Pearl shattered, the strength of Xuanwu Sect and even the strongest deputy city lords plummeted. How could they not be shocked?

They were trapped in the sea of ​​blood and didn't know exactly what had happened in the central hall, but the loss of the Dao-Merging Pearl's amplification was a fact.

Xue Jiu sensed the change almost immediately and, without holding back, used the cover of the sea of ​​blood to flash behind a deputy city lord-level Dao Integration Realm cultivator. He reached out and grabbed, easily piercing the cultivator's back and tearing a bloody hole in his body. The large hand that pierced through his body was still clutching a beating heart.

The deputy city lord's face was stiff with fear. He tried to struggle, but with just one activation of the Blood Blade technique, all the blood in his body was devoured and disappeared without a trace. He became skin and bones, and even his life force vanished completely.

The death of this deputy city lord caused a huge uproar, and within the sea of ​​blood, every cultivator in Ten Steps City lived in fear.

Xuan Wuji, his face filled with grief and indignation, roared, "Blood Blame, why is this happening?"

Putting aside their friendship over the past hundreds of thousands of years, even considering the grudges between Lu Ye and the Insect Blood Clan, Xue Jiu wouldn't have joined forces with Lu Ye to attack his Ten Steps City.

But in fact, this is exactly what happened. Now that the Dao-Merging Pearl in the city has been broken and no one can control the Blood Blame, Xuanwu Sect has already foreseen its own demise!

In a daze, a blood-red figure had already killed his way to him. Who else could it be but Xue Jiu?

Although Xuanwu Sect had lost the blessing of the Dao Integration Pearl, it still had the foundation of the Ten City Lords. Faced with Xue Jiu's sudden attack, it hurriedly activated the power of its own Dao weapon. In an instant, lightning covered its body, and it narrowly blocked Xue Jiu's attack.

They were right next to each other. Although Xue Jiu had no supreme treasures with him, his aura was even stronger. He reached out and grabbed the blade of the Nine Heavens Thunder Swamp Sword, a sinister smile on his face: "I have always loved my people like my own children. How dare you treat my people so harshly? How can I let you live!"

The same rhetoric as before, but how could Xuanwuzong possibly believe such nonsense?

When Xue Jiu was in power, he had no affection for his insect and blood clans. Even his direct descendants could be killed by his own hands if they displeased him.

Not to mention other ordinary cultivators of the two races.

So all that talk about loving the people like one's own children is a complete joke.

"What benefits did Lu Ye give you?" Xuan Wuzong was still unwilling to give up. If Xue Jiu was cooperating with Lu Ye for some benefit, then he might not be unable to satisfy him.

Having roamed the Star Abyss for so many years, he didn't want to die here in such a muddled way.

Especially now that the environment for cultivation seems to be changing, his constraints are loosening, and he has the potential to take another step forward.

Xue Jiu said coldly, "You underestimate me too much. Am I the kind of person who can be bought off by a little bit of benefit?"

As he spoke, he suddenly exerted force on his hand, and the blood-red color surged and surged, actually annihilating the lightning on the treasured longsword.

The treasure in Xuanwuzong's possession was damaged in the early years when he fought against Baqiu, and it was also damaged in the recent battle with Lu Ye. Therefore, although it is a treasure, its power is no longer at its peak.

Furthermore, being weaker than his opponent at the moment, he was completely suppressed by Xue Jiu in the very first exchange.

Xuan Wuzong's expression changed drastically. He tried to draw his sword, but he couldn't move it at all. He could only watch helplessly as Xue Jiu thrust his finger at him. Helpless, he could only let go and retreat.

He immediately fled into the sea of ​​blood without looking back.

The humiliation in his heart was indescribable. He felt that he was probably the first of the ten city lords in history to lose his most precious treasure in a contest with others.

Xue Jiu didn't chase after him, but just watched his back with a smile, and even took the initiative to open the Blood Sea's blockade for him.

Two breaths later, Xuan Wuzong felt the blood in front of him dissipate and finally rushed out. However, before he could rejoice, his heart sank.

Just ahead, a familiar figure stood with his hand on his sword, coldly looking this way.

"Lu Ye!" Xuan Wuzong gritted his teeth, the wound from his previous injury still throbbing with pain.

There was no escape. He finally understood why Xue Jiu wasn't chasing him anymore: because Lu Ye was waiting outside!

In that instant, various thoughts flashed through Xuan Wuzong's mind, and he gritted his teeth: "Let's die together!"

As he finished speaking, his Dao power surged suddenly, and his entire body radiated a dazzling light, like a great sun, rushing towards Lu Ye with overwhelming force.

This is undoubtedly a secret technique similar to Blood Explosion.

Before he could even get close, a flash of light appeared on Lu Ye's side, the light as thin as a line, cutting precisely into the bright sun.

Silently.

The violent aura seemed to have never existed, completely wiped away by an invisible force. The dazzling light also dimmed instantly, leaving only chaotic and uncontrolled Dao power running rampant.

Like a deflated balloon.

Without the amplification of the Dao Integration Pearl, Xuanwu Sect was no match for Lu Ye's single strike.

As the sword light dissipated, Xuan Wuzong stood in place, a line of blood slowly appearing between his eyebrows. Then, his entire body suddenly split open, and blood and internal organs spilled onto the ground.

Less than twenty breaths after the Dao Pearl of Ten Steps City was destroyed, Xuan Wuzong, the city lord of Ten Steps City, died in battle!

As soon as Lu Ye sheathed his sword, the surging sea of ​​blood below began to writhe and rapidly surged toward a single point, instantly clearing the scene.

Xue Jiu stood proudly in place, holding the Nine Heavens Thunder Swamp Sword that originally belonged to the Xuanwu Sect. Around him stood the figures of the Insect and Blood Clan cultivators, interspersed with an even greater number of corpses.

These were none other than the corpses of the powerful figures from Ten Steps City.

Without the Xuanwu Sect's restraint, Xue Jiu's current strength makes him no match for the Dao Integration cultivators of Shibu City.

It can be said that this battle almost wiped out the most advanced and top-tier combat power in Shibu City!

The chaos in the city continues. Although the battle on this side has been decided, more battles are still breaking out.

Xue Jiu turned his head and looked around, then gathered his strength and shouted: "Xuanwu Sect is dead. All the deputy city lords under Xuanwu Sect have been executed. Ten Steps City has been destroyed. If anyone dares to attack the Insect Blood Clan, I will chase them to the ends of the earth and never let them go!"

His words silenced the commotion for a brief moment.

The great escape began immediately.

The cultivators of Ten Steps City were originally willing to besiege the turbulent Insect Blood Clan because they believed that the Insect Blood Clan could not cause any trouble and that the current turmoil was only temporary.

But in such a short time, news has already spread that Xuanwuzong and the deputy city lord have died in battle.

While Xue Jiu's words should not be taken at face value, under such circumstances, if Xuan Wuzong and the deputy city lords were truly still alive, they would certainly not allow others to spread nonsense and shake morale; they would have to refute them at least once.

However, neither Xuanwu Sect nor the deputy city lords made a sound, which undoubtedly gave the cultivators belonging to Shibu City some bad thoughts.

Therefore, no one dared to linger even for a moment, and they all fled.

Xue Jiu stood there and let out a long sigh. Although everything in this battle was proceeding according to plan, the current situation was a real mess, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Hunt him down? All the Dao-Merging Cities of Ten Steps City are gathered here, and now they're scattering and fleeing. No matter how strong he is, how many can he kill?

Moreover, from his current position, killing these remnants of Ten Steps City wouldn't make much sense.

While pondering, he suddenly caught Lu Ye's gaze, and hurriedly put the Nine Heavens Thunder Swamp Sword behind his back, saying dryly, "This is my spoils of war!"

He sensed a greedy look in Lu Ye's eyes!

Moreover, he knew that Lu Ye had a way to devour the mysteries within the treasure to enhance the power of the Myriad Poison Pearl; he had witnessed this with his own eyes back then.

Therefore, he was afraid that Lu Ye would set his sights on the Lei Ze Sword.

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xue Jiu had a headache: "Brother Lu, I am now a half-saint, and it's not right that I don't even have a suitable weapon. We are allies now, and my strength will not do you any harm."

Lu Ye slowly shifted his gaze: "I didn't say anything, don't be nervous." (End of Chapter)
