Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1604 - 1602: Hacked to Death Alive

Bai Jin's words were not just empty boasting; they were the truth. The Sun Blaze warriors possess an extraordinary resilient physique, their blood Qi is abundant, and even such injuries could heal in the blink of an eye just by relying on the recuperative power of their own bodies, without using any additional power.

That's why he boasted that even if he stood still and allowed Lu Ye to hack at him, Lu Ye still couldn't kill him, because any wound inflicted by Lu Ye would quickly heal. A Constellation could never expand the injury to a level that threatens a Sun Blaze's life, unless they could exhaust his life force.

But the Dancing Girl's influence was limited in time, so how could such a minor wound exhaust Bai Jin's life force?

After he finished speaking, Bai Jin suddenly felt something was amiss, as the wound that should have healed rapidly seemed to be impeded by some power and did not heal immediately, leaving him somewhat astonished.

Only the power of another Sun Blaze could ever affect the recovery of the Sun Blaze's body, which meant that Lu Ye as a Constellation Realm cultivator shouldn't be able to accomplish this.

In fact, the force affecting Bai Jin's wound recovery wasn't Lu Ye's power, but rather the power of the barghest!

As a member of the Combat Race, the barghest possessed numerous peculiar abilities, with the internal Azure Hall allowing Lu Ye to receive inheritances left by predecessors, honing his saber skills. The barghest itself was not only extremely sharp but also had a tearing ability.

The wounds inflicted by it were enveloped by a peculiar force that made healing difficult. Lu Ye could even control this force using the barghest to exacerbate the wounds.

It could be said that if Bai Jin and Lu Ye were both Constellations, even a small wound from the barghest could be expanded by Lu Ye to tear the enemy's body apart.

The effect was somewhat less against Moon Jade, and even worse against Sun Blaze.

Otherwise, Lu Ye could have easily used the barghest to rapidly expand that wound, causing Bai Jin to die on the spot.

How much power the barghest could exert depended entirely on Lu Ye's level of cultivation. Once the Combat Race recognized its master, its inherent abilities would gradually enhance or unlock as the combat cultivator's strength grew, as every Combat Race member was a top-tier treasure due to having existed for countless ages.

Even though it couldn't make Bai Jin die on the spot, the barghest's power was still effective, preventing Bai Jin's wound from healing quickly.

The second strike was stronger than the first, and while Bai Jin was a bit surprised, he still wasn't panicked. If Lu Ye could only exert such power, it would be very difficult to kill him in a short period, though given enough time, it might be possible to cut off his head due to the lack of rapid wound recovery.

Ning Bu'ao and the others watched anxiously, their hearts racing. They initially thought Lu Ye could turn the tide after seeing he wasn't affected by the Dancing Girl, but in their excitement, they overlooked the vast gap in cultivation between Lu Ye and Bai Jin.

Realizing that Lu Ye's strength made it difficult to kill Bai Jin in a short time, Luo Xie shouted, "Young friend, quickly go to Indeterminate to send a warning!"

It was a good opportunity, and Lu Ye was free to move. With no one to stop him, he only needed to leave the battlefield for Indeterminate, where information could be relayed, allowing for preparation in advance.

Lu Ye paid no heed, simply staring deeply at Bai Jin before him.

Bai Jin felt a sudden jolt in his heart, an inexplicable sense of unease arising.

The next moment, he saw Lu Ye shrouded in a burst of blood light, forming into a Blood Orb that enveloped his figure.

"Blood Path Secret Technique?" Bai Jin felt a twinge of doubt, not knowing why Lu Ye was deploying a Blood Path Secret Technique at this moment. Exhibiting a Blood Path Secret Technique in front of the Blood Race seemed rather like showing off one's inferior skills in front of an expert.

But immediately following that, a powerful and intense saintliness enveloped him, causing Bai Jin, who was moving inside the Blood Orb, to turn pale and cry out in astonishment.

With this cry, his aura suddenly plummeted significantly. Although it hadn't fallen below the Sun Blaze level, it could barely maintain Sun Blaze standards.

Within the Blood Orb, Lu Ye abruptly reversed his grip on the Boulder Mountain Saber, his other hand gripping the sword sheath, then assuming a bizarre stance.

The next moment, his form began to spin, and as it rotated, the Boulder Mountain Saber ferociously and swiftly slashed toward Bai Jin's neck.

The fierce slashing deepened Bai Jin's wound further. He grimaced in pain, a slight frown appearing. But rather than the injury itself, what frightened him more was Lu Ye's current exhibition of saintliness!

Another slash followed, faster and stronger than the one before.

Third slash...

Fourth slash...

Lu Ye's spinning motion quickened, his entire form blurring, and a whirlwind of blades whipped up around him.

Great Windmill!

Having only experienced the Praying Mantis's Twin Sabers Secret Technique once, yet having battled with Praying Mantis long enough to grasp some of its essence, he was deploying it—certainly not with the grace and fluidity of the Praying Mantis, but he's getting there.

The only difference was that he didn't have twin blades but used a sword sheath as a substitute, so the power of the Twin Sabers Secret Technique wasn't as formidable, achieving only half its potential.

In normal circumstances, Lu Ye wouldn't dare use such a technique in combat, as it was akin to offering his flaws to the enemy.

But using it at this moment was perfectly fitting; with Bai Jin unable to fight back and possessing the physique of the Sun Blaze, where could one find a better target than this?

Blood splattered, accompanied by Bai Jin's scream.

The two Sun Blaze Insects and Ning Bu'ao's group had no idea what was happening inside the Blood Orb, but based on Bai Jin's screams, his situation seemed quite dire.

Could a Constellation realm really cut down a Sun Blaze? Such a strange thought floated in everyone's mind.

However, within that Blood Orb, Lu Ye's aura was clearly growing stronger, whereas Bai Jin's was rapidly weakening.

Ordinarily, with such a strike, Bai Jin would be sent flying due to the impact, but being trapped and bound by the Blood Orb, he could only remain in place.

For three breaths, Lu Ye didn't know how many times he slashed, until with the final strike, the resistance on the blade suddenly lessened.

At the same time, Lu Ye clearly felt the sensation of his own flesh tearing inside.

Among the many inheritances of the barghest, none were without great burden to oneself, especially the Twin Sabers Secret Technique of Praying Mantis. This was Lu Ye's first time performing it, and he dared not hold back at all against a target like a Sun Blaze.

Exerting too much force this time caused significant damage to his own flesh and blood.

Under the watchful eyes of several Sun Blaze powerhouses around, the Blood Orb enveloping Lu Ye and Bai Jin suddenly contracted, revealing the two figures within.

Lu Ye still held his saber in a reverse grip, one hand with the sword sheath, standing quietly there. But at this moment, his entire body was steaming with blood Qi, his spirit force boiling, and his exposed skin, even his face, was flushed a deep red.

It was clearly a sign of enormous exertion.

Not far in front of him, Bai Jin's body was rigid, staring at Lu Ye in horror, with eyes wide open.

Yet he wasn't moving at all at this moment.

The two Sun Blazes of the Insect Race saw this and were immediately overwhelmed with feelings.

Suddenly, a burst of blood light, and blood gushed from Bai Jin's neck, his entire head soaring high!

Sun Blaze... was slain!

The two Sun Blazes of the Insect Race were tremendously shocked, and their expressions changed visibly when looking at Lu Ye again.

Ning Bu'ao and the others were overjoyed; what they thought was an impossible task had unexpectedly been accomplished by Lu Ye.

To slay a Sun Blaze with a Constellation Realm body, even if the Sun Blaze couldn't fight back, was unimaginable.

Yet now, it happened right before their eyes.

Luo Xie shouted, "Young friend, keep killing, kill them all, hahaha!"

This was truly a twist of fate. Initially, they thought they were doomed, until first, a Dancing Girl intruded upon the battlefield and disrupted the fight, and now Lu Yiye of Nine Heavens emerged, turning the tide.

Lu Ye didn't take long to kill Bai Jin, so as long as he continued, killed the two Insect Race Sun Blazes, and then dealt with the remaining four Blood Race Sun Blazes, then once the Dancing Girl's influence wanes, the three Sun Blazes on their side could slaughter freely. By then, no matter how many Insect Race or Blood Race were there, they wouldn't suffice to withstand.

Lu Ye didn't move, nor did he respond, remaining in that posture.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move, he simply couldn't! He underestimated the aftereffects of performing the Great Windmill. Although there were no obvious changes on the surface, most of his flesh had already ruptured. Not to mention performing the Great Windmill again, he couldn't even exert half of his usual strength.

Moreover, one significant reason he could kill Bai Jin was the suppression of saintliness.

Against the Insect Race, saintliness had no effect, and the carapaces of the Insect Race were much more formidable in defense compared to the Blood Race.

Luo Xie urged again, and seeing Lu Ye still unmoving, he immediately realized something was wrong with Lu Ye's condition, and his heart sank.

Currently on the battlefield, they only had three Sun Blazes, and even with one Bai Jin down, the enemy still had six. If the gap couldn't be closed quickly, they would be doomed once freed from the Dancing Girl's influence.

Luo Xie couldn't help but sigh, today's battle was truly an emotional rollercoaster. Initially, they thought they had a winning strategy, but the appearance of Bai Jin brought it all crashing down, encircled by the Blood Race and pushed to a dangerous brink. Then the Dancing Girl burst onto the scene, disrupting the combat, and Lu Yiye's powerful slaying of Bai Jin gave them hope.

Now that hope was shattered once again.

The ups and downs of life were experienced several times that day by Luo Xie and the others, even the temperament as resilient as a Sun Blaze could barely endure.

It was only after dozens of breaths that Lu Ye slowly exhaled, moved his body gently, sheathed the Boulder Mountain Saber, and then looked at Ning Bu'ao and the others, "Which of you has the greatest Power of Killing?"

Although he had a guess, he still needed to confirm.

Ning Bu'ao and the others didn't know why Lu Ye suddenly asked this, but they replied, "If it's about Power of Killing, it naturally belongs to Junior Sister Li Guan!"

This was just what Lu Ye thought. A sword cultivator's killing prowess was always the strongest, Ning Bu'ao seemed to be a physique cultivator, while Luo Xie appeared to be a magic cultivator. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Lu Ye nodded, activated his spirit force, and swept towards Li Guan. Soon he reached her, and under her puzzled gaze, placed a palm on her shoulder.
