Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1678 - 1676: The Most Peace-Loving Wood Spirit
At this moment, the Flame Race Moon Jade was astonished to find that the doppelganger, which had been silently fleeing, was suddenly surging with power, as if a strange spirit rune was gradually spreading out.
He didn't know what was happening, but he knew he couldn't let the doppelganger act freely. Unfortunately, there was still some distance between them, and even if he attacked, it wouldn't pose a threat to the doppelganger. He could only chase desperately.
This doppelganger was constructing the Void, and the other two doppelgangers were doing the same!
Regarding that strongest white-haired elder, Lu Ye didn't have much thought. The power gap was too great, and even with Mu He's Black Umbrella as an aid, there was nothing he could do.
But besides this strongest white-haired elder, Lu Ye didn't intend to let the others go. It's not about personal grudges; mainly, Lu Ye didn't want his Treasure Blood Avatars to be constantly targeted by enemies.
Reducing the number of enemies as much as possible would help his escape.
In the blink of an eye, the Void Spirit Runes near the three Treasure Blood Avatars almost formed simultaneously!
Because of constructing the spirit runes, the doppelganger being pursued moved much slower, and at this moment, it finally entered the attack range of the Flame Race Moon Jade.
Seeing this, the Flame Race Moon Jade was naturally relentless, striking a punch from afar in the direction of the doppelganger. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
With this punch, the flames on his body surged wildly, and at the same time, a fire dragon, hundreds of feet long, vivid and lifelike, roared out, instantly sweeping in front of the doppelganger.
Yet the doppelganger's expression remained calm, the Void Spirit Runes under its feet shone brightly.
The Flame Race Moon Jade looked over coldly, certain that with this attack, the opponent would at least be severely injured if not killed, given the power gap between them.
The light engulfed the location of the doppelganger, causing the Flame Race Moon Jade to be unable to see inside for a moment, but soon his expression froze slightly because the situation... seemed somewhat unexpected.
When the light faded, the Flame Race Moon Jade was stunned to find that three identical figures had appeared there, and he couldn't distinguish which one he had been chasing.
What was going on?
How did his punch cause the opponent to split?
Before he could gather his wits, the three Treasure Blood Avatars had already fled in three different directions.
The Flame Race Moon Jade was dumbfounded, unsure which one to pursue...
Gritting his teeth, he randomly chose a direction, still puzzled why his punch failed to harm the opponent.
After he went far away, Lu Ye's main body began constructing the Void Spirit Runes, then teleported to one of the doppelgangers, looked around, and chose a suitable position for Mu He and Black Umbrella to set an ambush with two Tiger Shark battleships.
In the stellar space, many meteorites and floating lands were scattered about, making concealment easy.
The doppelganger being pursued by the Flame Race Moon Jade fled desperately, but soon, the distance between them reached a dangerous level, and sensing the fierce mana fluctuations behind it, Lu Ye without hesitation used the Void Spirit Runes to retrieve the doppelganger.
The Flame Race Moon Jade was on the brink of collapse...
The enemy was right in front of him, and he was about to succeed, but with the appearance of a spirit rune, the opponent suddenly vanished without a trace.
This left him feeling powerless and without an outlet for his strength.
However, soon after, he sensed a ripple of spirit force from behind, and he quickly turned his head to see the previously vanished figure fleeing again.
It turned out that although the opponent's method was magical, it couldn't escape very far!
The Flame Race Moon Jade was reassured, swearing to annihilate the opponent to vent his anger.
As they pursued and fled, the distance between them closed once more, and before long, a scene that delighted the Flame Race Moon Jade appeared. In the stellar space ahead, two Tiger Shark battleships emerged to intercept.
He recognized at once that these were his battleships. Although it was strange that the two battleships, after being gone for just a bit, appeared somewhat battered as if they had been through a battle, he didn't give it much thought and quickly used his Mental Consciousness to transmit audio instructions to the two battleships: "Surround him, don't let him escape!"
The two battleships obeyed the order, surrounding the doppelganger, and as they advanced, the tip of the battleships began to shine, indicating that they were charging up!
The Flame Race Moon Jade, Treasure Blood Avatar, and the Tiger Shark battleships— the distance between the three parties continued to close, and the light in front of the battleships grew ever brighter!
At this moment, inside the Tiger Shark battleships, cultivators of the galactic pirate group under the control of the Black Umbrella were transformed into energy sources, desperately pouring their power into the battleships.
This level of pouring was only performed when desperate measures were necessary, significantly increasing the battleship's explosive power, but at the cost of leaving irreversible damage to the cultivators inside and even the battleship itself.
This could be considered a forbidden power of the Tiger Shark battleships, only used when there's no other choice!
Galactic pirate group cultivators wouldn't naturally do this, but under the Black Umbrella's control, they had no say in the matter.
Visibly, the figures of the cultivators within the two battleships began to wither, soon becoming skin and bones, a sign that their blood Qi essence had been poured into the battleship.
The Flame Race Moon Jade immediately sensed something was wrong. He had only ordered his battleships to surround the enemy, not to exert such great force.
What filled him with horror was that the offensive of those two battleships... had locked onto him!
"What are you doing?" The Flame Race roared furiously. Even though he was Moon Jade, he did not want to face the all-out strike from the two Tiger Shark battleships head-on.
What's going on with these two battleships?
He did not have time to think much, because in this short moment of pause, the offensive of the two Tiger Shark battleships had reached its peak. The violent energy fluctuations made even the battleships themselves hard to manage, inducing fierce tremors in the already battered warships.
Escape!
The Flame Race Moon Jade, seeing the situation was dire, abandoned the chase against the Treasure Blood Avatar and immediately turned to flee.
But it was too late; two bright beams shot forth from the top of the battleships like two sky-piercing swords, crossing the space where the Flame Race Moon Jade was just as he turned around.
"Ah!" As screams echoed, two plumes of fireworks exploded in the stellar space!
Indeed, the two Tiger Shark battleships could not withstand such a burst, or they might have been able to, but due to damages inflicted earlier under the joint attack of the Black Umbrella and Mu He, they ultimately failed.
Such fierce explosions even blew the battleships apart. Inside, the cultivators, already in poor condition, couldn't survive.
As for the Flame Race Moon Jade struck by the two battleships' attack... by the time those intersecting sky-piercing swords dissipated, almost no intact part remained on his body, the blood flowing from his torn flesh boiling like magma, his expression both embarrassed and terrified.
If he hadn't summoned a precious protective magic treasure at a critical moment, he would have been slain on the spot. Yet even so, he suffered severe injuries!
Fury surged within him, teamed with uncertainty, as it made no sense for his own battleships to attack him.
What actually happened?
Before he could figure it out, his face suddenly changed as on the side, a floating land had a Moon Jade aura quickly approaching him.
Turning to look, the Flame Race paused with surprise: "Wood Spirit?"
The features of the Wood Spirit Race were too obvious; he immediately recognized the incoming individual as a Wood Spirit Moon Jade.
Yet... without any past enmity, why was the Wood Spirit attacking him? Wasn't it said that the Wood Spirit Race was among the most peace-loving races in the stellar space? With such murderous intent shown blatantly, who was it trying to impress?
Momentarily, the Flame Race Moon Jade thought he had encountered a fake Wood Spirit.
However, this was no time to delve into these matters; he was in the Moon Jade Early Stage, and this approaching Wood Spirit was also in the Early Stage. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be afraid, but with his condition poor, engaging senselessly with this inexplicable Wood Spirit was not an option.
He promptly turned to flee into the distance. Yet, just as he dashed from a hidden area of floating land, a large cloud-like object suddenly loomed over him!
What was this? The Flame Race Moon Jade was dumbfounded as he was thoroughly enveloped by the spore cloud.
Mu He followed closely and fiercely charged into the cloud.
Behind a nearby meteorite, Lu Ye's form gradually appeared. He glanced at the completely decimated Tiger Shark battleships, then directed his gaze toward the spore cloud.
He couldn't see much, only sensed intense combat activity inside, mixed with the Flame Race Moon Jade's angry questioning.
"Why? Why?!"
Why were this Wood Spirit and Spore Race ambushing him here? Why did they act as if they had an unresolvable hatred against him? What was the grudge? What was the enmity?
The battle didn't last long, around thirty seconds or so, and the spore cloud dissipated.
Mu He bore numerous burn marks; as a member of the Wood Spirit Race, he naturally feared the Flame Race the most. The two races were mutual bane, yet with Black Umbrella's help, dealing with an injured Flame Race was no challenge.
It was merely a matter of enduring some wounds.
The Flame Race Moon Jade had already been slain, his corpse shredded, with clusters of bright red mushrooms sprouting on it, appearing extremely gruesome.
Mu He and Black Umbrella showed exuberant expressions; it was their first time slaying an enemy at the Moon Jade level. Both Clan Leaders understood that had it not been for Lu Ye's perception and strategic foresight, they wouldn't have effortlessly killed a cultivator of equal realm.
The previous melancholy had vanished, yielding a sense of vengeance achieved!
Looking at the Flame Race Moon Jade's corpse, Mu He thought viciously, this is the consequence for targeting the Flower World!
"Young friend, there's another Moon Jade Late Stage!" Mu He's eyes flared with battle intent. Having killed a foe who countered him, with Black Umbrella assisting, he felt invincible and confident of slaying one of the late stage Moon Jades to show Lu Ye!
Lu Ye silently watched the somewhat overconfident Mu He, recalling records he read among the Dwarf Race... The Wood Spirit Race was among the most peace-loving races in stellar space.
Those records... had significant issues!
"That Moon Jade Late Stage should be left aside," Lu Ye restrained Mu He's eagerness. It's fine to kill an Early Stage, but as for the Late Stage... they would stand no chance, Mu He and Black Umbrella facing it would be mere folly.
