Chapter 2888 He Wants to Escape
Chapter 2888 He Wants to Escape
Faced with Lu Ye's fierce attack, Xue Yuan showed no intention of dodging and resolutely smashed down the treasure in his hand.
The ruthlessness of this vampire demigod exceeded Lu Ye and Xue Jiu's expectations, and his hatred for Xue Jiu was also beyond their expectations. He was undoubtedly willing to risk injury to get rid of Xue Jiu first.
A sense of foreboding arose in Xue Jiu's heart. Almost at the same time that Xue Yuan raised the supreme treasure, he activated the power of space.
Having refined the bloodlines of several phoenix clans, Xue Jiu also possessed a certain level of expertise in the Dao of Space. However, since these were bloodlines he had seized rather than originally possessed, he was not considered a master.
Fortunately, being in this sea of blood, and with the aid of spatial power, he could move freely.
He was absolutely confident that he could avoid Blood Abyss's attack.
But the next moment his eyes widened in horror, because as Xue Yuan's axe fell, a strange power swept over him, and the spatial power he had hastily activated turned into nothingness. It was as if, in that instant, everything around him was in a state of annihilation.
In this situation, he could no longer move an inch.
Xue Jiu was terrified and could only raise his sword to block in haste.
The violent attack landed instantly, and Xue Jiu felt his sword-wielding arm go numb. He almost couldn't defend himself. The fierce axe blade pressed down on the sword and slammed down on his shoulder. If it weren't for his tough bones, this blow would have almost torn his shoulder apart.
Blood splattered, and Xue Yuan made a gesture with one hand, his mysterious power surging. The blood flowing from Xue Jiu's wound seemed to transform into a blood snake, coiling back around Xue Jiu's body.
"Blood Binding Curse!" Blood Blade knew something was wrong. His bloodline was much weaker than Blood Abyss's, so he had no good way to break the opponent's blood technique. Once the Blood Binding Curse was formed, he would have no chance of escaping.
He remained calm, knowing that he was not fighting alone; he had Lu Ye by his side.
At this very moment, the Panshan Blade had already struck Xueyuan's back, almost at the same time that the Blood Binding Curse was formed.
However, due to the difference in their strength, this strike failed to break through Blood Abyss's protective power, only causing his body to tremble.
Lu Ye was well aware of Xue Yuan's plans. Although Xue Jiu was suppressed by Xue Yuan in terms of bloodline and seemed powerless in today's battle, in reality, Xue Jiu was the only one who could kill Xue Yuan.
Not to mention that they had already formed an alliance, so he absolutely could not allow Xue Jiu to get into trouble.
In an instant, Lu Ye's face turned pale, and his right arm holding the knife suddenly swelled up. On that right arm, blood and qi surged like a dragon, as if all the blood and qi in his body were gathering there.
A faint dragon's roar suddenly erupted, deafeningly loud.
The Panshan Blade trembled violently, its blade becoming blurred.
Shake the knife!
Under the raging outpouring of power, Blood Abyss's protective force was finally broken, and the sharp blade pierced through his skin and flesh, reaching his bones.
Blood Abyss suddenly darted to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
Lu Ye's strike almost failed to stop, barely halting at Xue Jiu's forehead, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the crisis was finally averted, and the Blood Binding Curse that was about to take shape and wrap around Xue Jiu's body also collapsed at this moment.
They looked at each other, then turned around at the same time to face the same direction.
In that direction, Xue Yuan held the Xuanhuang Annihilation Axe and looked back with icy eyes. However, unlike before, this time his gaze was mostly fixed on Lu Ye, with a hint of fear and disbelief.
Having been ambushed before and suffered a loss, he knew the sharpness and strangeness of the Dao weapon in Lu Ye's hands, so most of his concerns about Lu Ye stemmed from the Panshan Blade.
But now he realized that Lu Ye's strength was not to be underestimated; otherwise, he would never have been able to break through his protective power and suffer another loss.
He had thought he could withstand Lu Ye's offensive and deal with Xue Jiu first, but now it seems that this decision was wrong from the start.
Although the injuries from the two strikes were not serious, both wounds were entangled with extremely strange sealing power, which weakened his strength once again.
Xue Yuan let out a soft breath, calming his anger. He knew that his defeat was entirely due to Xue Jiu's anger. If he had been more rational, he wouldn't have fallen twice in the same place.
At this moment, Lu Ye was filled with emotion.
If it were one of the ten city lords, like Xuanwu Sect, who had been struck twice by him, their strength would be reduced by at least 10% or 20% due to the strange nature of the power of the Sorrow.
However, Blood Abyss doesn't seem to be affected that much.
It can only be said that a demigod is still a demigod, and the effect of the power of sorrow is diminished when applied to a demigod.
Having suffered two losses, it might not be so easy for Xue Yuan to strike him again next time. It seems that a real fight will have to come, and it will be impossible to succeed by sneak attacking.
Just by looking at Xue Yuan, it was clear that he had completely calmed down.
"Very well!" Xue Yuan suddenly grinned maliciously, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lu Ye and Xue Jiu, who were standing side by side. "Dare to attack me? Today I will let you know that even among half-saints, there are different levels of strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous sea of blood suddenly trembled violently, as if boiling, and a solid and powerful divine soul force erupted.
The tremors in the sea of blood were due to Blood Abyss fully activating the suppression on his bloodline.
The burst of divine soul power was his method of targeting Lu Ye and Xue Jiu.
Xue Jiu's face immediately turned pale, he let out a muffled groan, and even his eyes became somewhat dim and lifeless.
Under the dual pressure of bloodline suppression and soul impact, this Blood Lord instantly suffered a silent loss.
Lu Ye was in the same boat, and his performance was even worse than Xue Jiu's, as he was almost staggering.
Xue Yuan laughed loudly and flashed forward to attack: "No matter how strong you are, you are still young. How can your soul power compare with mine?"
He had long seen that Lu Ye's cultivation period was not long, and that the strength of such a person's soul could not keep up with the improvement of his own strength. In other words, this was the other party's weakness.
Having lived for so many years, how could Xueyuan not see through such a thing?
Now that I've tried it, it worked!
He was not careless at all. As he attacked, the treasure in his hand unleashed a mysterious power of annihilation, which enveloped Lu Ye and slashed down fiercely.
Lu Ye then realized the strangeness of this treasure. Under the shroud of the power of annihilation, everything about him seemed to be about to be annihilated, and even the activation of his Dao power was more difficult than usual.
He immediately understood that Xue Jiu's attempt to teleport was unsuccessful because he was interfered with by this power of annihilation.
Indeed, each treasure possesses its own unique power, which is the effect of the laws nurtured within it.
In such a situation, even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn't, not to mention that he had no intention of avoiding it in the first place.
As the Xuanhuang Annihilation Axe cleaved down, the confusion in Lu Ye's eyes vanished completely. He immediately activated the power of the Talent Tree, and invisible roots spread around his body, instantly isolating the strange power of annihilation.
The Panshan Blade slashed diagonally, blocking the incoming killing intent. The violent aftershocks swept out, causing the entire sea of blood to tremble even more.
Xue Yuan's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth, shouting fiercely, "You..."
By this time, he could see that everything Lu Ye had done was just a pretense. He really couldn't understand how this obviously young human could remain so stable under the impact of his powerful divine soul.
However, he had no time to think further, because there was another Blood Blame beside him.
Although this guy's strength was weakened due to the suppression of his bloodline, he did not lose his courage. This was largely thanks to the blessing of the Dingjun Banner. In today's battle, the increase in strength from the hundreds of power brought to him by this treasure was secondary. The most important thing was to suppress the awe he felt for the higher bloodline. Otherwise, under such circumstances, Xue Jiu would probably not be able to exert even 70% of his strength. Now, at least he can unleash 90%.
Seeing that Lu Ye had blocked Xue Yuan's attack, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately thrust out his sword fiercely.
Xue Yuan raised his hand, casually unleashing a Blood Dragon Technique. Blood energy condensed into a dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Xue Jiu. The latter slashed out with his sword, shattering the blood dragon. However, more blood techniques followed one after another, fierce and continuous.
For a time, the three figures fought fiercely within the sea of blood. The aftershocks swept across the area covered by the sea of blood, turning all the meteorites and dead stars into dust.
Xue Yuan fought two opponents alone and held his own, even without the support of the Dao Integration Pearl and after being struck twice by Lu Ye, which sealed his strength.
This demonstrates the immense strength and profound foundation of the Blood Abyss.
Looking at the entire Origin Realm, Blood Abyss is not the strongest half-saint; his strength ranks roughly among the top five in the Origin Realm.
During the great battle, Lu Ye repeatedly took risky moves, attempting to exchange injuries for injuries.
Given the current characteristics of the Panshan Blade, trading injury for injury in a battle with an enemy is definitely not a loss for him. That's what he did in the two previous battles against Xuanwu Sect.
Having suffered two losses, how could Xue Yuan let him succeed? Therefore, when faced with Lu Ye's offensive, he would rather have no success than dare to make a move.
This led to Lu Ye's offensive becoming increasingly unrestrained, until after a short while, he completely abandoned his defensive stance.
Such a stance made Xue Yuan feel truly aggrieved, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.
Although he could maintain a stalemate against two opponents, he couldn't kill either Lu Ye or Xue Jiu. No matter how hard he tried, it would be fruitless and would only cause him great harm.
Rather than continuing this stalemate, it would be better to leave this place, find the remaining four half-saints, and then take revenge.
Thinking this to himself, Xue Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he glanced at his Xuanhuang Annihilation Axe.
For some reason, he had a vague feeling that the treasure that had been with him for so many years... seemed to have lost its power!
Compared to before, the power of annihilation has been lost by more than a little.
He had no idea what was going on and hadn't paid much attention to it until now.
Already harboring thoughts of retreat, and now that his most prized possession seemed to have encountered another mishap, Xue Yuan had no time to hesitate. He immediately roared, "Xue Jiu, this matter is not over today! You just wait, sooner or later I'll make you know the consequences of betrayal!"
Xue Jiu gritted his teeth: "Lu Ye, he's trying to escape!"
Originally, their blood seas were intertwined, but now Xue Jiu could clearly sense that Xue Yuan was closing his own blood sea, undoubtedly a sign that he was about to escape. (End of Chapter)
