Chapter 123: Hunting

compressed and refined. This must be the root cause of how a cultivator's internal power transforms from spiritual energy to magical power, and once the spiritual energy within is completely transform...During the Longquan Conference, clashes between cultivators from the three major factions were mostly on a small scale, in the form of skirmishes involving small teams.

We've tried large-scale brawls before, defining a certain area and having all the cultivators thrown into it for a massive free-for-all.

After trying twice, both parties were unwilling to continue.

This kind of fighting results in huge losses for both sides, with the costs outweighing the benefits.

There are three types of squads. One is the defensive squad, stationed on mountains to repel incoming enemies.

One type is a commando unit, which takes the initiative to attack and occupy enemy positions.

Lu Ye is in a hunting party.

There are only five people in the team, but they are all quite accomplished. Besides Xie Jin who is at the fifth level, the other three are all at the fourth level.

Not only that, all five of them had mounts, which gave them strong mobility.

Before dawn, Lu Ye met with Xie Jin and others. They introduced themselves to each other. There were four men and one woman in the team. What made Lu Ye feel a headache was that the woman who had attacked him last night was also there. After seeing Lu Ye, her eyes lit up, and she kept throwing flirtatious glances at him.

The woman's name was Qiaoqiao, a recruited free cultivator. She had a forthright personality and dressed very boldly.

The other two were named Song Xie and Tao Tiangan. Tao Tiangan was a disciple of Qingyu Mountain's founder, while Song Xie was also a recruited wandering cultivator.

There was originally a Stage Four cultivator from Qingyushan in this team, but he was killed recently and Lu Ye replaced him.

Each of the >> On top of a mountain, a group of Qingyu Mountain cultivators were resisting the attack of Qin family cultivators. The situation was chaotic. Originally, the Qin family had been watching the commotion, but after Han Zheyue became angry, Qin Wanyi could only mobilize their own people to participate in the attack and put pressure on Qingyu Mountain.

The mission of this squad of five led by Xie Jin was to coordinate with their own mountain-guarding cultivators to launch a pincer attack against the Qin clan. This highlights the formidable mobility of the hunting team.

But before they had gone far, Xie Jin suddenly bellowed, "Prepare for battle!"

The other party's hunting party has also set out, heading our way. It won't be long before the two parties meet.

After a short while, figures of the enemy could be faintly seen ahead. The cultivators riding demonic beasts moved nimbly through the forest, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

Xie Jindao led the way, with Lu Ye and Qiao Qia'er flanking him on either side. Song Scorpion and Tao Tiangang followed behind them, forming a five-person arrow formation as they charged forward.

When they were still thirty meters apart, spiritual power began to surge. Whether it was a tacit understanding or something else, Xie Jin and the leader of the opposing cultivators, both at the fifth level of cultivation, each sacrificed a golden wheel talisman. As the talismans activated, streaks of golden arcs slashed towards their enemies.

The sharp strikes brought down trees one after another, and the ground was plowed with slashes. The cultivators on both sides dodged and parried each other's attacks.

When the power of the talismans was exhausted, both sides of cultivators faced each other head-on. Two long whips were drawn from their respective ranks, with spiritual light flickering on them, clearly they were spirit artifacts.

The monk remained silent, with a flick of his long whip, he broke the restraints and lashed out at Qiao Qia'er. Qiao Qia'er was not to be outdone, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce battle, even their mounts began to fight each other.

These two were fighting quite the lively battle. The others weren't idle either, in a moment where their forms crossed, at least six people from both squads were knocked off their mounts.

That person reacted quickly and immediately raised their weapon to block. However, the blade didn't fall completely, instead stopping just short of their weapon.

The sound of wings flapping arose, and a fat bird suddenly appeared, slamming headfirst into the cultivator's arms.

With a booming sound, spiritual energy exploded, scorching heat permeated the air, and the cultivator cried out in pain as he flew backward, his chest a bloody mess.

He exerted himself and rushed to the nearest battlefield in a few steps. There, Xie Jinzheng was locked in a fierce battle with a fifth-tier cultivator from the enemy side.

Both of them were cultivators of martial arts. The moment they met, they dismounted their steeds and engaged in close-quarters combat. However, they were evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a winner.

Suddenly, a chill emanated from behind the five layers of realm. As a gust of wind struck, he hastily lowered his head. A wave of coldness swept over his scalp, causing his hair to fly wildly and revealing a patch of skin where it had been shaved off.

When he looked up again, he saw who had attacked him. Not far away, another member of his tribe lay in a pool of blood.

He was shocked. Had someone just died

Then, he suddenly remembered the message he had received earlier. He looked at Lu Ye in astonishment and said, "Was it you"

It is said that over a dozen people died on Tai Luo Zong's side, including even one from the fifth layer realm.

The reason why they hadn't recognized Lu Ye before was that the Qin family had never come into contact with him.

Xie Jinben was already difficult to deal with, and now another fierce criminal has emerged to help him. How could he possibly be a match He immediately felt discouraged.

Lu Ye's eyes were quick, and his hand was even faster. With a single slash, his long sword flashed with light, its spiritual patterns activated. As the blade fell, the man was cut open, letting out a scream before collapsing to the ground.

Xie Jin's sword danced in his hand, piercing the opponent's wrist with a swift strike and severing their tendons.

With a resounding clang, the weapon fell to the ground. Lu Ye's long blade flipped and plunged straight down, piercing the opponent's heart.

When the sword was drawn, blood spurted. In the next instant, Lu Ye and Xie Jin darted to the left and right respectively. There were two other battle circles raging over there.

Lu Ye rushed toward Qiao Qiao'er's battlefield. She and the male cultivator were whirling their whips, each strike accompanied by sparks of spiritual energy. Qiao Qiao'er had been struck by a whip, half her face swollen high with a very noticeable lash mark. However, her opponent wasn't faring any better. They had suffered some unknown injury, and now their posture was strange, legs clamped tight, face as pale as paper.

Seeing that their side had already lost two men, and even the strongest five-level cultivator was dead, the male cultivator knew his time was running out. He gritted his teeth and endured Qiaoqiao'er's whip strike, which tore his flesh open. He reached into his storage bag and pulled out a talisman, flinging it at her.

Then the talisman exploded, transforming into three blade-like strikes in the shape of the character "pin." They arrived before Qiaoqiao in an instant.
