During the chase, seeing Lu Ye unexpectedly charging at him, Yoan Che fearlessly faced him head-on, even somewhat eagerly.

Both were at the Moon Jade stage, but his cultivation was one level higher than Lu Ye's, so naturally, he didn't fear the opponent.

Though unafraid, Yoan Che didn't underestimate him. When deciding to act against Three Worlds Island, Zixuan carefully gathered intelligence on the island.

The most concerning was Lu Ye's strength. He was a formidable opponent capable of cornering Yu Huan, an Early Stage Moon Jade cultivator, so his strength couldn't simply be judged by the cultivation realm.

Furthermore, Yoan Che had witnessed the sharpness of the Boulder Mountain Saber, so he had a simple plan—not aiming to kill Lu Ye but just to keep him tangled for a moment. In that time, Bao Youyou and Hu Guang would provide support, and then with a three-against-one scenario, Lu Ye wouldn't stand a chance of surviving.

With Demon Origin surging, Yoan Che was enveloped in golden light, activating an extremely powerful protective technique. Meanwhile, his already tall figure suddenly expanded several times over, transforming into a giant ape with long arms, white fur all over, and two tusks exposed.

For a demon cultivator, revealing one's true form in combat undoubtedly means going all out.

His teeth bared and eyes bloodshot, he glared angrily at Lu Ye. In a moment, he swung his arm backward, and the flesh on his arm began to writhe quickly.

The distance between them closed rapidly, and the intensity of their auras soared.

Then Yoan Che witnessed something inexplicable. As Lu Ye charged at him, he inexplicably sheathed his saber, placing his right hand on the hilt, with his eyelids slightly lowered.

At that instant, Yoan Che felt a shiver down his spine, sensing a huge impending crisis. However, the distance was too close to retreat.

Though unaware of Lu Ye's intention, Yoan Che instinctively made the right move. His arm, swung backward, suddenly shot forward like a long whip, striking the Void.

This strike didn't aim to kill but to obstruct the opponent momentarily. Despite the intense sense of crisis, he was confident it would work.

The arm knocked against Lu Ye, causing him to vanish in a puff of smoke, yet Yoan Che felt no joy, realizing it was just an illusion...

As the illusion dissipated, Lu Ye's true self appeared directly in front of Yoan Che. As he raised his other arm to repeat the move, the Boulder Mountain Saber was unsheathed.

In that instant, the radiant saber light rose like a big sun, causing all the cultivators watching to lose focus briefly. The draw of the long saber was accompanied by a terrifying slash.

Yoan Che's eyes widened at the realization that his opponent was no mere mid-stage Moon Jade but a Sun Blaze!

He finally understood the intense crisis he had felt earlier.

The two figures brushed past each other, maintaining their forward momentum, but Lu Ye's speed didn't decrease, while Yoan Che's physique gradually slowed down, standing still in mid-air, expression bitter.

Facing the pursuit of Bao Youyou, Yoan Che saw the terror in her eyes and smiled bitterly.

He couldn't even delay Lu Ye for a moment. How could a medium-stage Moon Jade like Lu Ye be so terrifying?

He believed his actions and responses were flawless, without a shred of arrogance or underestimation, yet he couldn't avoid disaster.

"Be careful!" Yoan Che shouted.

As the words fell, the golden light shattered violently, and even the massive Demon Race true form split in half, tumbling into the deep sea with blood and internal organs scattering.

Bao Youyou's eyes trembled fiercely. She reached out to catch Yoan Che's body but was too late, watching helplessly as the two halves disappeared from view.

She stood dazed, almost believing she was in a dream, for what she had just witnessed was too unreal.

As a late-stage Moon Jade like Yoan Che, Bao Youyou's disposition was naturally not weak. Moreover, she came from the top domain Zixuan Demon Planet, and among the Moon Jade level, the Zixuan Island Demon Race members were true elites.

The fact she was stunned showed how significant the impact was on her spirit.

"Junior Sister Bao!" An angry shout awakened Bao Youyou. At the same time, she sensed a sharp aura locking onto her. She quickly raised her head to see Lu Ye rushing towards her at great speed.

Yoan Che died right in front of her eyes, and without any resistance he was killed. Where would Bao Youyou dare to stay? She immediately darted to the side.

In that direction, Hu Guang was coming to assist her, seeing things had gone awry.

A few breaths later, Bao Youyou looked back and found Lu Ye had already stopped and was no longer pursuing, just coldly watching her silhouette, making her feel a sense of escaping death.

After two more breaths, she finally met up with Hu Guang, and the two demon cultivators dared not hesitate, flashing back to the central hub battleship.

The fleet was still executing Hu Guang's previous orders, advancing toward Three Worlds Island. However, the seemingly mighty fleet lost its formidable momentum seen when they set out, having witnessed the previous twists and terrifying slaughter, the entire fleet was enveloped in an inexplicable atmosphere, every demon cultivator's heart was heavy, looking at that human figure still standing far away, feeling chills.

"How could it be like this?" On the central hub battleship, Bao Youyou's eyes were red as she murmured to herself.

Initially, many Constellations died and it could be said it was because of their few Moon Jade strategies being incorrect, having been led away by Lu Ye. But now even Yoan Che was dead!

And it was in direct confrontation, without any resistance he was killed.

While feeling sorrow, Bao Youyou was more thankful; luckily Lu Ye's previous target was not herself, otherwise it would be her dead now, not Yoan Che!

Hu Guang's lips were pale and his fists clenched tightly. Despite being unwilling to believe, everything happened right before his eyes, forcing him to admit one thing: "We underestimated him."

Yoan Che's response was seen by him, without any greed or impulsiveness, yet he still couldn't escape death. At the root, it was the failure to properly assess the opponent's ability.

Reflecting on everything since deploying to Three Worlds Island, Lu Ye first came alone to harass the fleet, deliberately leading them three Moon Jade away, then somehow killed in a counterattack amid the fleet, wantonly slaughtered, after the three returned for defense he used words to induce, leading him to stay and guard the fleet, letting Yoan Che and Bao Youyou team up to chase out.

Thinking two against one would be no problem, yet the result was losing one Yoan Che.

From the start, the rhythm of the combat was in Lu Ye's hands, completely leading the Zixuan demon cultivators by the nose; all his words and actions had strong intentions; at first, he even deliberately made a semblance as if his aura was weak due to losing his doppelganger, it was laughable how he didn't see through it.

It's said that foxes are cunning, but compared to everything Lu Ye did in such a short time, Hu Guang felt himself utterly naive and pitiful; Lu Ye on Three Worlds Island absolutely had a very dirty 7th orifice Linglong heart!

"What exactly was that technique?" Bao Youyou asked in disbelief and fear, even though she narrowly escaped, recalling that terrifying saber still left her with lingering apprehension.

Hu Guang shook his head, how would he know what kind of technique it was; Yoan Che couldn't withstand that saber, meaning he and Bao Youyou couldn't either, perhaps only the First Island Master Lion Heart could survive under that saber.

"No matter what technique that was, such a secret technique surely caused him extreme damage." Hu Guang stared at the direction where Lu Ye was located, judging this because he discovered signs of Lu Ye swallowing a large amount of elixir pills, which undoubtedly indicated that after that saber, Lu Ye also needed recovery, hence did not pursue.

This might be an opportunity... Hu Guang's heart moved, reasoning that if his inference was correct, then Lu Ye must currently be at his limit, he and Bao Youyou might achieve something if they return to fight.

But he hesitated to make this decision, because if judged wrong, it would only worsen the situation, and he couldn't confirm if Lu Ye's current performance was intentional, inducing him to make this decision. Three Moon Jade had already lost one, if another one were lost, they would truly be picked off one by one.

A sudden jolt in his heart made Hu Guang realize something bitter: in the confrontation with Lu Ye, he had already fallen behind mentally, because no matter what Lu Ye did, he would feel the opponent was tricking him, dimming his gaze and souring his mood.

On the other side, Lu Ye, having swallowed a large number of elixir pills, watched as the fleet moved farther and farther away. He couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

For he truly wanted to lure Hu Guang and Bao Youyou out for a battle; although the Drawn Saber Slash had already been deployed, he lacked the ability to rapidly slay a strong enemy across stages, but he had the Treasure Blood Avatar; as long as Hu Guang and Bao Youyou dared to come out and tangle with him, he could deploy the Treasure Blood Avatar to form a big array, at that time these two Demon Race Moon Jade would certainly meet a dire fate.

As long as Hu Guang and Bao Youyou were dealt with, this vast fleet would be his prey, he could kill as he pleased.

Unfortunately, these two avoided coming out to fight, so other methods would have to be used.

Under the gaze of countless demon cultivators, Lu Ye who had been standing still finally moved, his figure transformed into a streaming light chasing toward the fleet, weaving through and dodging incoming attacks, landing swiftly on the rearmost Tiger Shark battleship.

He drew the Boulder Mountain Saber, his gaze remotely collided with Hu Guang at the fleet's forefront, beneath his serene expression was full provocation, the long saber thrust downward, slicing through the Tiger Shark battleship's defense as if cutting tofu. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Slaughter reignited!

Hu Guang sighed deeply, finally confirming that Lu Ye had indeed feigned weakness earlier, while feeling thankful for not taking the risk, he was forced to make a decision filled with humiliation: "Return to the island!"
