Within the thick blood mist, Lu Ye wielded a single saber alone against two Cosmos-tier City Lords. From time to time, he unleashed Liao Power, sending blood spraying wildly from Flying Locust and Tai Kun as his attacks drove the two back step by step.
Unfortunately, he had never managed to land a decisive blow.
Neither of these two Cosmos-tier City Lords was a mediocre opponent. Each possessed formidable strength. Once Liao Power lost its element of surprise, it was difficult for it to achieve the one-strike finality it had displayed when Lu Ye killed Jade Dragonfly.
Especially now, when both Flying Locust and Tai Kun were focused primarily on defense.
Lu Ye saw at a glance that the two were stalling for time.
Within his perception, numerous Uniting Dao Cities were rapidly closing in from every direction. There was no need to think about it—beyond the range of his senses, even more Uniting Dao Cities had to be rushing this way.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Ye would already have sought an opportunity to flee. Though he was proficient in the Path of Space and could use the Void Teleportation Technique, being surrounded layer upon layer by enemies would lead to no good end.
But a full month of planning and waiting had all been for this moment, for the flowers to bear fruit.
Thus, not only did Lu Ye not retreat, his offensive instead grew ever more ferocious.
In a flash, he forced back Flying Locust and Tai Kun, then turned to look in one direction.
Deep within the blood mist in that direction, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching. Lu Ye frowned slightly.
That was because the aura felt utterly unfamiliar to him.
Recently, the powerful opponents who had fought him were far more than just Tai Kun
