What disappointed Yuan Xi was that after Lu Ye had ambushed and killed that Ghost Cultivator, the surprise that emerged had gone to the Chess Player!
This surprise differed from the previous two. It did not grant her the right to mobilize two additional Chess Grids, but offered another kind of benefit.
Granted, this surprise was quite good and should prove greatly useful at a critical moment, but Yuan Xi would have preferred for Lu Ye to enhance his own strength. That would have been of tremendous help to his current predicament.
Within the Chess Grid, Lu Ye had already slain nearly fifty Fusion Dao cultivators when he suddenly sensed killing intent striking from behind. Without a second thought, he shifted aside to evade it.
Yet that killing intent came in an unbroken stream, incredibly swift. He could not shake it off in time and could only hastily turn around, swinging his saber to shatter a beam of light that had reached his face.
It was the attack of the last remaining Spell Cultivator.
That was why he had bypassed the nearer Body Cultivators and Weapon Cultivators earlier, choosing instead to ambush and kill one of the Spell Cultivators.
His insufficient cultivation realm already left him slower than Harmony Dao cultivators. If he did not swiftly kill the Spell Cultivators, then once they opened up the distance, they would surely become a tremendous nuisance.
Unfortunately, there had not been enough time just now, and his enemies were no pushovers either, so he had only managed to kill one.
This Spell Cultivator before him was now a problem.
Distracted by the Spell Cultivator, three powerful enemies had already charged close. Lu Ye's expression sharpened as he raised his eyes toward the Body Cultivator, saber light raining down upon him without restraint.
