"Ah, this..."

"What is Three Worlds Island doing?"

As the internal conflict within Zixuan Island unfolded, the onlooking cultivators all showed expressions of confusion, clearly stunned by the strategic change of Three Worlds Island.

According to the previous development of the situation, the Three Worlds Island side didn't need to make any changes. They just needed to proceed steadily, and they could capture Zixuan without paying too much of a price, with the opportunity to achieve a zero-casualty record like the last swift offensive against Baiyue.

Yet, they did not choose this. They abandoned their original defense formations, with two thousand cultivators led by three Late Stage Moon Jade warriors, transformed into three long dragons, and charged into the enemy ranks.

Not only were the onlooking cultivators dumbfounded, but the Zixuan demon cultivators were equally shocked. No one expected Three Worlds Island to make such an astonishing choice.

Thus, after the three long dragons soared into the offensive, a wider scope and larger number of casualties appeared. Originally, the task of killing was primarily handled by the three Late Stage Moon Jade warriors, but even though they were powerful, killing constellation cultivators like slicing melons and chopping vegetables, their efficiency was still limited.

But now it's different. The entire army of Three Worlds Island launched an offensive, catching Zixuan off guard, resulting in over a hundred constellation cultivators being killed on the spot in a matter of moments.

"Using offense to replace defense, Three Worlds Island intends to end the battle quickly, to avoid complications!" someone recognized the intention of Three Worlds Island.

After all, the last swift offensive against Baiyue had some issues, ultimately leading to the arrival of the Sun Blaze governor. The Baiyue battle could stir Sun Blaze, and today, attacking Zixuan, it was feared that the eyes of the five Sun Blaze governors of All Phenomena Ocean were all focused here.

If any of the Sun Blaze governors decide to intervene, Three Worlds Island would be in trouble. Although the probability of this happening is low, precautions must be taken. So even knowing that a steady and thorough approach would definitely capture Zixuan, the Three Worlds Island side couldn't continue dragging it out.

Taking the initiative to attack is different; it can greatly shorten the time required for this battle.

Wherever the cultivators looked, the three long dragons of Three Worlds Island truly resembled three torrents, annihilating everything in their path.

The fearless nature of the Zixuan demon cultivators appeared so fragile and laughable in the face of absolute power discrepancy.

What shocked the cultivators even more was that the ferocity of the Zixuan demon cultivators had left a deep impression, but the ruthlessness of the Three Worlds Island cultivators seemed even more pronounced.

These thousands of cultivators from both sides apparently had none afraid of death!

For a long time, everyone's impression of Three Worlds Island cultivators remained at the stage of the swift offensive against Baiyue, but that battle went very smoothly for Three Worlds Island. They didn't actually show much of their courage and fearlessness. Afterward, Three Worlds Island vigorously developed, and their cultivators increasingly gave off the impression of merchants, especially Tang Jun who made connections everywhere, always had a smiling face, further enhancing the prior misconception.

Only now, witnessing this incredible battle firsthand, did the cultivators of All Phenomena Ocean realize that Three Worlds Island cultivators were not harmless merchants; they were a group of ruthless attackers who dared to invade your home, kill and burn until you were completely wiped out!

Even if you bear the mighty name of Zixuan!

Indeed, if they weren't such lawless people, how would they dare to attack a spirit island like Zixuan?

The battle continued intensely, and casualties among the Zixuan demon cultivators were appalling. Originally, the number of cultivators on Zixuan Island was twice that of Three Worlds Island. However, by now, the numbers on both sides were already even, and Three Worlds Island had even more cultivators.

Facing the wanton slaughter by Three Worlds Island's three long dragons, the Zixuan demon cultivators also wanted to organize resistance, but even if they gathered, without Moon Jade leading, they couldn't withstand the opponents from Three Worlds Island.

Desperate emotions began to grow and spread, with subtle changes appearing in the fearlessness and bravery of the Zixuan demon cultivators.

"Go, everyone go!" A lion's roar suddenly echoed, bursting through the heavens and the earth.

The watching cultivators immediately turned their heads towards the boiling Blood Sea, realizing it was Lion Heart calling out.

Trapped by Ma Shangsi's Blood Sea Technique, Lion Heart had been unable to escape. Although he was unclear about the specific situation of the battle outside, his Mental Consciousness perceived some signs.

The Zixuan demon cultivators had died too many!

Now, on all of Zixuan Island, there was only one Moon Jade left, and he was trapped here. The island itself couldn't withstand the fierce attack from Three Worlds Island.

If this continues, the Zixuan demon cultivators would likely be killed to the last!

Only escaping remains; counting how many can escape, being pursued is still better than being completely wiped out. That's why he shouted to issue orders.

The Zixuan demon cultivators were already struggling to sustain themselves, their initial sharpness extinguished, and now with the Island Master giving the order, many demons hesitated no longer, but fled in all directions.

"Kill! Do not let a single one go!" Luan Xiao'e commanded coldly, her previously dignified and grand manner now burning with the flames of hatred in her eyes.

Wey Po was a cultivator from her Jade Conch, who had managed to advance to Moon Jade in All Phenomena Ocean but was swallowed whole by Lion Heart. In terms of hatred toward Zixuan, she was the most intense.

The three dragons abruptly dispersed, reforming into various formations, chasing after the fleeing Zixuan demon cultivators.

Zixuan is finished!

Among the crowd of watching cultivators, the thought arose within everyone's mind. Although it was anticipated that this might happen halfway through the battle, when such a result truly appeared, it still felt incredibly unreal.

A high-class Spirit Island, capturing a top-class Spirit Island with only half the enemy's forces!

Moreover, this time the battle took even less time than the previous assault on Baiyue, achieving a decisive victory almost within half a day!

Even witnessing such a ridiculous event firsthand, it's hard to believe.

At that moment, an astonishing and terrifying energy aura suddenly emanated from one direction, causing everyone to turn their heads towards it in surprise.

Because that was where the Blood Sea was spreading, and within it were Lu Ye, Ma Shangsi, and Lion Heart, three Moon Jade legends, in a fierce struggle.

The sudden surge of energy waves was terrifyingly intense, not at the Sun Blaze level, but definitely at the pinnacle of the Moon Jade level!

"Lion Heart has unleashed the demon core!" someone exclaimed in horror.

Such a fluctuation could not be caused by ordinary means. The only possibility was that Lion Heart had unleashed his demonic pill, refined over thousands of years!

It was a desperate move by a top late-stage Moon Jade cultivator.

It's unimaginable what happened in that Blood Sea to force Lion Heart to such a point!

Almost at the same moment as the words fell, a golden light suddenly bloomed within the boundless Blood Sea. The brilliance of the golden light amidst the blood was overwhelmingly dazzling.

In the next instant, the golden light suddenly expanded and swelled like a big sun exploding!

The terrifying energy swept all around, and the vast Blood Sea burst open a huge hole. In the golden light, the twisted outline of Lion Heart's body could be vaguely seen.

Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi were nowhere to be seen. The master and servant, upon realizing that Lion Heart had unleashed the demon core, had already moved far away. This was a desperate move by Lion Heart, so even Lu Ye dared not underestimate it.

Not only that, Lu Ye continuously activated his Defense Spirit Runes to protect his body.

The Blood Sea surged turbulently, Ma Shangsi exclaimed in shock, and then began to cough violently, obviously injured by Lion Heart's terrifying strike.

Several layers of the protective spirit runes on Lu Ye's body also shattered, and this was even with the protection of Ma Shangsi's Blood Sea, indicating the horror of Lion Heart's strike.

But his eyes were extremely bright because he knew this was Lion Heart's last attack. For the Demon Race, unleashing the demonic pill was a last resort, and after one strike, they would inevitably suffer great damage to their vital energy!

Before the terrifying energy aftermath settled, Lu Ye rushed towards the direction where Lion Heart was.

However, before he arrived, he saw Lion Heart turn his head to look at him, pale as death, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Today's hatred will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

As he spoke, a rich purple light suddenly emanated from his body.

Lu Ye's speed suddenly increased, and with a swift maneuver, he reached Lion Heart's position. The Boulder Mountain Saber hummed with mana, and all his strength poured into this strike, slashing down fiercely!

This slash, however, hit nothing but air. The hulking figure of Lion Heart vanished in an instant before the long blade fell.

The flesh on Lu Ye's right arm holding the saber cracked, a result of exerting all his strength, overloading his right arm, but he seemed to feel nothing. He closed his eyes, mental consciousness surging, carefully sensing!

As the Blood Sea contracted, Ma Shangsi dashed to Lu Ye's side, wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked perplexedly, "Where's he gone?"

Such a large Lion Heart disappearing without a trace made no sense.

"Teleportation Symbol!" Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes, turned to look in a direction, and said, "Over there!"

As he spoke, a drop of treasure blood exploded, enveloping him in a layer of blood light as he chased out.

Ma Shangsi was momentarily stunned but quickly followed. However, having been hit by the aftermath of Lion Heart's demon core attack, his breath was unstable, and he couldn't keep up. Soon, the blood light wrapping Lu Ye vanished from his sight, leaving him with no choice but to turn his attention to hunting down the fleeing Zixuan demon cultivators.

Years ago, in the Western Region, Mount Fangcun passed through the All Phenomena Ocean, reaching several deals with various factions to exchange for resources needed by the Dwarf Race.

Although Zixuan Island wasn't keen on magic treasures, they were quite interested in Spirit Talismans, and they too made deals with the Dwarf Race.

The transposition talisman on Lion Heart's body came from the Dwarf Race and allowed for quicker and farther teleportation than those made by other cultivators.

However, the transposition talisman had a drawback: once activated, it teleported to a location beyond one's control.

These things were mostly used as lifesaving measures in critical moments. The red talisman that Lu Ye still carried was exactly such a transposition talisman meant for escaping, and being a red talisman, its effect was surely superior to Lion Heart's.

Normally, if Lion Heart used the transposition talisman to escape, Lu Ye wouldn't know which direction he went no matter his ability. Lion Heart would merely need to find a place to hide and would be able to escape successfully.

But during the previous battle, Lu Ye inflicted numerous wounds on Lion Heart, and within those wounds lingered the barghest's power.

Lu Ye indeed didn't know where Lion Heart had teleported to, but as long as the distance wasn't too far, he could sense the barghest's power using the Boulder Mountain Saber and locate him!

As long as Lion Heart lives, the hatred for Wey Po's death remains unpaid. How could Lu Ye allow Lion Heart to continue living?
