But just at this critical moment, a flash of light appeared, and terrifying Sword Qi immediately filled the entire Cave Mansion.

Whoosh!

Sword Shadow swept past, and the scarlet tongue was severed and fell to the ground, along with the hand, which was forcefully chopped off.

Moreover, the fallen tongue and claw were faintly glowing with sparks of lightning.

Obviously, this sword contained the power of the Thunder Principle.

"Audacious, dare to cause chaos in my Zi Wei Sect, I shall not spare you!" As these words landed, Ye Luo’s figure appeared.

He held the Lingyun Sword in his hand, his presence was extraordinary, and the Thunder Principle surged throughout his body, giving him an even stronger heroic aura.

That sword was empowered by the Thunder Principle mixed with the Lingyun Sword; though the Thunder Principle is an attack-oriented law, it can be applied to any technique with formidable strength.

For instance, with that previous sword slash, if he hadn’t used the Thunder Principle, he might not have even injured the Hunter, after all, the opponent’s strength was akin to a cultivator of the ancestor level.

Back in the day, the race that dared to breach the space barrier couldn’t be an ordinary biological group.

Suddenly, this Hunter began to wail, and an extremely violent thought was transmitted into Ye Luo’s mind.

"Damn it, who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of us Hunters; are you tired of living?"

Facing his roaring thought, Ye Luo merely sneered.

"I am the current master of Zi Wei Sect, you should die understanding this!"

Having said that, Ye Luo struck down with another sword, once again aided by the Thunder Principle. Previously, after Ye Luo’s sneak attack severed the Hunter’s tongue and hand, his power had already been halved, and now there was no way he could withstand this sword.

Instantly, his physical body was split open, and immediately, a sizzling sound emerged from the ground as the Hunter’s flesh rapidly dissolved at an alarming speed, turning into a pool of green liquid that vanished upon hitting the ground.

Although everyone knew this was also a representation of one of the Hunter’s measures, Ye Luo didn’t prevent it; he just wanted to send a signal to the Hunters: Ye Luo is the controller of Zi Wei Sect, and if there are any issues, they should come directly to him!

His current strength was still enough to avoid being slaughtered by the Hunters, and more importantly, it was to alleviate Zi Wei’s pressure.

After all, she inherently had a grudge against the Hunters, and it’s well known that the Dark Race creatures love holding grudges, and this Hunter community was the same.

The fact that they hadn’t attacked Zi Wei yet must have a reason, which doesn’t mean they would spare her.

But even if this Hunter managed to escape, it would be akin to falling, except it would bring back some information.

Previously, he had learned from Zi Wei that Hunters were different from cultivators; their Divine Soul and physical body were merged into one, which was why when Ye Luo chopped off his tongue and hand earlier, it resulted in a significant decrease in his combat power.

Of course, their physical bodies are incredibly robust as well; without the Thunder Principle, just relying on the Lingyun Sword, it might have been challenging to harm the opponent.

One might even say Hunters are naturally born as Body Cultivators!

With the demise of the Hunter, the few female disciples finally regained their mobility; immediately, they collapsed onto the ground, but their eyes were filled with gratitude as they gazed at Ye Luo. One of the previously terrified female disciples even rushed over directly.

"Thank you, young master, for saving our lives!"

Later, she knelt on the ground, respectfully bowing to Ye Luo.

The other female disciples also followed suit, saluting in place.

This was already the second time Ye Luo had saved them; and this time, it was in their state of despair and jealousy, Ye Luo’s appearance felt like rebirth to them, and they felt as though their lives belonged to Ye Luo.

At this moment, these disciples were truly loyal to Ye Luo.

With the disappearance of the Hunter, the space barrier at the door naturally vanished, and a team from Enforcement, led by an Elder, rushed in.

"What happened... Salute to Elder Ye!" One Elder immediately asked loudly, but upon seeing Ye Luo, they immediately saluted.

Nowadays, Ye Luo’s prestige in the Sect had significantly increased, aside from Zi Wei, it was him; his prestige had even surpassed the Grand Elder, as Ye Luo’s demonstrated strength was exceptionally formidable.

Additionally, his relationship with Zi Wei was gradually spreading, as there are no walls without chinks in Zi Wei Sect itself; considering Ye Luo and Zi Wei lived together, it could no longer be hidden, nor did they intend to hide it.

"Earlier, an enemy came to attack, and I’ve killed them!" Ye Luo said plainly.

However, the Elder and the patrol disciples in front had faces filled with shock, fearfully looking at Ye Luo.

Of course, they couldn’t understand, with such strict patrols, how this terrifying guy could still seize the opportunity!

"Could it be!" This Elder stared persistently at the ground, after all, the Hunter’s tongue and hand were still there.

The two had been severed by Ye Luo earlier, therefore, they were no longer under the Hunter’s control, allowed to remain there.

"Indeed, it was underground!" Ye Luo said solemnly.

Though he successfully rescued these disciples this time, the Hunter’s stealthy attack method still frustrated him greatly.

After all, keeping his Divine Sense constantly covering these disciples wasn’t appropriate; the consumption of such Divine Sense was beyond horrifying, it was exceptionally terrifying!

It could very likely cause permanent damage to his Divine Sense.

Then, how should they guard against these underground attacks?

"No wonder we couldn’t defend against them; they were able to sneak attack from underground!" The Elder muttered gravely.

In fact, whether in the South Territory or the Sixth Region, masters who could come and go underground freely were indeed scarce, because it required an exceedingly terrifying mastery of Space Law.

Moreover, mere mastery isn’t sufficient; this is entirely due to racial talent. Indeed, using Ye Luo as an example, even if he obtained the seed of Space Law and mastered it to the extent he could move freely underground, the consumption was still exceedingly vast!

It wasn’t akin to a fish in water; fearing not, soon the internal power of Space Law wouldn’t suffice to support him underground.

Moreover, once the power of Space Law is completely consumed, with the body underground, the consequences are imaginable.

Therefore, the Hunter’s ability to move like that underground is entirely due to an extraordinary command of Space Law and the result of racial talent.
