Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1709 - 1707: Master and Servant Join Forces

In the area shrouded in gray mist, Ma Shangsi was already engaged in battle with the enemy, under immense pressure, leaving him no time to check the situation elsewhere.

The reason he was under such great pressure was primarily because he had to deal with two enemies, both at the Late Stage of Moon Jade.

This was unavoidable; their side had fewer Moon Jade cultivators than the opposing side. As one of the two strongest on their side, it was natural for him to exert more effort, which was Qiu Wu's arrangement.

Though there was pressure, it wasn't a major problem because Ma Shangsi had immediately spread out his Blood Sea, enveloping the two enemies within.

The Blood Race fights the enemy by using the Blood Sea to create an environment beneficial for themselves, which is the most common and universal method. When the Blood Sea spreads, not only are the two Late Stage Moon Jade opponents enveloped but so are many Constellations and Divine Seas within this area.

In a different place, Ma Shangsi would even have the confidence to wipe out all enemies within the Blood Sea.

But the environment here was not quite normal.

Within the range of the Blood Sea, the dense Force of Turbidity was even eroding it...

Ma Shangsi immediately felt something amiss and secretly estimated that he could only hold on for at most one incense stick's time. Once the time limit was exceeded, he might not even be able to maintain his Blood Sea, and at that time, his vital energy would suffer greatly.

Therefore, he was eager to take down one Late Stage Moon Jade enemy.

But even though he was at the Peak of Moon Jade, at its core, he was still at the Late Stage, and wanting to quickly kill an enemy of the same level was not that simple.

While pondering how to proceed, he suddenly sensed someone enter his Blood Sea.

Ma Shangsi instinctively perceived and was slightly startled. He quickly sent an audio transmission: "Saintly Venerable?"

It was Lu Ye, who, after dealing with his opponent, immediately charged in.

Lu Ye understood their deployment well and naturally knew the pressure Ma Shangsi was under, so he promptly came to support.

"You lead the way, I'll kill the enemy!" Lu Ye simply instructed.

Ma Shangsi promptly agreed, simultaneously using the might of the Blood Sea to split the two Late Stage Moon Jades, while pointing the direction to Lu Ye.

Two breaths later, Lu Ye arrived at a location within the Blood Sea and clearly sensed the presence of a Late Stage Moon Jade ahead, even able to vaguely see the opponent's silhouette.

It looked humanoid, though its original race was unknown, but judging from the violent aura, it seemed like another transformed, irrational member of the Filth Race!

Staring at the blurry silhouette, Lu Ye rapidly advanced, raising a hand to grip the hilt of the Boulder Mountain Saber.

As if sensing Lu Ye's hidden killing intent, the figure abruptly turned. With fierce and turbulent mana, it charged towards Lu Ye.

At this moment, the Boulder Mountain Saber was unsheathed.

A faint brilliance vaguely bloomed, and then spun like a moon.

Slicing through waves and parting the dense, substantive-like Blood Sea, a massive gap was carved through, and the saber light extended a length of ten miles, its violent power only gradually dissipating then.

Ma Shangsi, who was closely monitoring Lu Ye's situation and ready to assist at any time, gaped, as if witnessing something beyond belief, momentarily dazed.

It wasn't until the presence of the Late Stage Moon Jade suddenly vanished that Ma Shangsi snapped awake.

The enemy, whom even he found troublesome and who had a cultivation of the Late Stage Moon Jade, was beheaded in a single strike by the Saintly Venerable!

Saintly Venerable... Is he truly this powerful?

Because Lu Ye exerted his strength within Ma Shangsi's Blood Sea, Ma Shangsi clearly sensed the terror of that strike. It was not a strike that an Early Stage Moon Jade should be able to deliver. If it were himself facing that strike, even if he didn't die, he certainly wouldn't meet a good end.

Ma Shangsi was perplexed.

"Let's kill him together!" Lu Ye's voice rang in his ear, snapping Ma Shangsi back to reality. He quickly joined Lu Ye in attacking the other Late Stage Moon Jade.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye's right arm holding the saber slightly trembled, with a faint sense of exhaustion.

This was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Since he passed Wang Xiu's test on his journey back to the Nine Provinces, gaining the Drawn Saber Slash inheritance, and maintaining the spirit rune on the Boulder Mountain Saber, several months had passed.

The nurturing of the Drawn Saber Slash Spirit Runes had long reached its limit.

Even when crafting the Sword Sheath with Han Dong, Lu Ye hadn't abandoned maintaining this spirit rune, because it was his strongest trump card at present and might be needed unexpectedly.

And indeed, it came in handy.

This was Lu Ye's first time using the Drawn Saber Slash, and its power was even greater than he had imagined. In fact, such a strike shouldn't have been possible at his current level of cultivation.

This caused his body to bear an immense burden; he couldn't even perfectly control that one slash.

When dealing with the Moon Jade Early Stage star beast earlier, Lu Ye hadn't even summoned the Boulder Mountain Saber, intending to reserve that first slash for the Moon Jade Late Stage here.

The plan proceeded smoothly. The Moon Jade Early Stage star beast was violently destroyed by his magic and spells, and a Moon Jade Late Stage here was annihilated by him in one slash, with no chance to react.

Amidst the Blood Sea, there was still one Moon Jade Late Stage left, and even if Lu Ye didn't intervene, Ma Shangsi had the ability to resolve it.

But ultimately, the environment of this battlefield was disadvantageous to our cultivators, so a swift battle was needed.

Inside the Blood Sea, the Moon Jade Late Stage trapped was already somewhat dizzy and disoriented. Once Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi, the master and servant duo, teamed up to encircle it, it immediately became a mess.

Ma Shangsi knew procrastination was not an option, so he held nothing back.

As a Peak Moon Jade Blood Race, he was the combination of a magic cultivator and a physique cultivator. Under his frenzied assault, the enemy within the Blood Sea could only defend, entirely powerless to retaliate.

Lu Ye darted around, seizing opportunities to slash whenever he could. Before the enemy reacted, he had already retreated afar, and once the enemy's attention was again diverted by Ma Shangsi, Lu Ye went back to slash again.

In less than ten breaths' time, the Moon Jade Late Stage was slashed several times, each wound deep enough to expose the bone.

With Lu Ye's advancement in cultivation, the Boulder Mountain Saber was promoted to a magic treasure. Its sharpness reached a new level, and now, bolstered by Lu Ye's Divine Sharp Edge Spirit Runes, within the same cultivation realm, no flesh-and-blood body could withstand the slashes of the Boulder Mountain Saber.

Unless with the aid of protective magic treasures.

Yet, after being promoted to a magic treasure, the Boulder Mountain Saber gained a trait of exceptionally powerful destructiveness against protective magic treasures. Hence, even if the enemy summoned some protective magic treasures, it couldn't alter the outcome, only slightly delay the time.

The physique of a Moon Jade Late Stage is strong. Normally, even if injured by Lu Ye, such an enemy could recover quickly; however, the barghest's eerie power lingered on the wounds, hindering their healing. So, at this moment, although the enemy deliberately controlled the immense wounds on its body to prevent much blood from flowing out, they remained unhealed.

"Ma Shangsi, Blood Attraction Technique!" Lu Ye commanded with a low shout, his long saber vibrating as the eerie power spread around.

The invisible barghest power entwining the enemy's wounds was instantly triggered. In a flash, those already substantial wounds were ripped apart, enlarging further.

Simultaneously, Ma Shangsi activated the Blood Attraction Technique.

The Blood Attraction Technique isn't considered a high-level magic spell among the Blood Race. Normally, a True Lake Realm Blood Race already has the qualifications to cultivate it.

This spell's function is simple: it draws the blood from the enemy's wounds, accelerating the blood loss.

Thus, when contending with the Blood Race, one should avoid getting injured; even if injured, one must recover quickly; otherwise, leaving the wound exposed gives the Blood Race an opportunity to use the Blood Attraction Technique.

Especially in a special environment like the Blood Sea, where Ma Shangsi, at Peak Moon Jade, applies the Blood Attraction Technique, its power receives unlimited amplification, thereby enhancing.

The moment the enemy's several large wounds abruptly tore open, Ma Shangsi's Blood Attraction Technique was already in motion.

In an instant, the wounds that previously had minimal blood flowing burst forth with blood like pillars!

This area, already thick with the Blood Sea, became even more concentrated.

Ma Shangsi vehemently urged the Blood Attraction Technique, even licking his lips, as if tasting something delectable...

For a Peak Moon Jade Late Stage, the eruption of blood Qi was indeed food for a Blood Race like Ma Shangsi. Once the blood was sprayed out, it merged into the Blood Sea, which Ma Shangsi could later refine, using it to bolster his own Blood Sea.

Suddenly hit by such devastating blows, the Moon Jade Late Stage howled to the sky, seeming to sense its impending doom. Its Mental Consciousness locked onto Lu Ye's position, charging at him fiercely.

With its movement, its figure rapidly shrank, a sign of severe blood Qi loss. The depletion's impact wasn't just that; the underlying foundation of the cultivator was also streaming away. Thus, the Moon Jade Late Stage's aura was visibly declining.

Lu Ye did not dodge at all but instead advanced holding his saber. In a swift motion, before the enemy could react, aided by Ma Shangsi's support, he moved behind the enemy.

As the long saber slashed out, there was an implicit sound of a beast roaring, exposing its fangs, biting towards the front.

The next instant, yet another Moon Jade Late Stage aura vanished!

At that moment, across the battlefield, the Moon Jade cultivators of Jade Conch were utterly shocked.

The commotion from the annihilation of the Moon Jade Late Stage aura was massive. Even Ma Shangsi's Blood Sea could not conceal it. When Lu Ye dispatched the first Moon Jade Late Stage, Qiu Wu and others noticed it.

Amidst the joy, there was more shock because the speed was too fast. They knew Ma Shangsi was at Peak Moon Jade cultivation, but even at Peak Moon Jade, to swiftly resolve a Moon Jade Late Stage opponent seemed implausible.

Lu Ye quickly dealing with a Moon Jade Early Stage was astounding enough, but compared to Ma Shangsi's achievements here, it seemed insignificant.

Indeed, the Moon Jades of Jade Conch all mistakenly attributed it to Ma Shangsi… That was the normal reaction.

Qiu Wu's heart was exhilarated; Lu Ye and this master-servant duo unleashed two huge surprises at the start of the battle, making him suddenly feel that this combat wasn't as daunting as anticipated.
