Chapter 71: Testing the Waters

low the trail of torches, it's easy to get lost.Once a commoner, reduced to the status of a mine slave, loses their way in this place, the consequences are easily imaginable.In the mouths of those who...As a newcomer to the Spirit Stream Battlefield for only about three months, Lu Ye naturally didn't understand the ins and outs of it.

He might be worn and battle-scarred, but the gleam of his battlefield experience helps him in his endeavors.

At this moment, he and Amber were behind the four Xuanmen disciples, about thirty feet away. As the four Xuanmen disciples retreated constantly, the distance between them was getting closer.

The burly man's wounds were increasing, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for the four Xuanmen disciples.

As the burly man was about to give up, another cultivator at his side, also at the third level of Qi Refinement, roared: "All of you, die!"

This is clearly the Golden Wheel Talisman that Lu Ye used to deal with the wolf pack when he first entered the Lingxi battlefield.

This spirit talisman's single-attack killing power isn't as strong as the Fire Snake Talisman, but its advantage lies in its endurance. At that time, Lu Ye used this spirit talisman to repel the pack of wolves surrounding him.

A burst of golden light erupted, and a crescent-shaped blade shot out from the disk, slicing through the air with a resounding boom.

As the practitioner performed the ritual with the Golden Wheel Talisman, the fourth-tier cultivator from the Nine Stars Sect immediately took a step back. Although his cultivation base was higher than others, he didn't dare to carelessly receive the attack of the Golden Wheel Talisman—that would be courting death.

He immediately drew out a palm-sized, round shield from his waist pouch and held it in front of him. At the same time, his two fellow disciples pressed their hands against the shield.

Three people simultaneously activated their spiritual energy and poured it into the shield. The palm-sized shield instantly grew to the size of a table, shielding the three figures behind it.

This shield is a defensive magical item.

The four Xuanmen disciples gradually felt despair…

The golden disk formed by the Golden Wheel Talisman slowly dissipated. The four-layer cultivators from the Jiuxing Sect sheathed their shields, their faces grim: "Now you won't even be able to die!"

His defensive artifact had blocked the opponent's attack, but it was severely damaged. Repairing it would likely cost a fortune in spirit stones, which made his heart ache.

He raised the weapon in his hand, about to charge out, but he stared in astonishment at the four figures behind the Nine Star Sect.

Meanwhile, the four members of the Jiuxingzong also noticed something amiss. There were people rapidly approaching from behind them. Before they could even turn around, a shadow swept past their heads.

The next moment, a pure white tiger appeared in sight. On the tiger's back was a young man in black...

White Tiger, young man...

In an instant, the seven cultivators present all understood who had arrived.

Those four cultivators reacted quickly, noticing Lu Ye's cultivation level as soon as he appeared. He was at the third layer of the Lingxi Realm, just as Senior Brother Cao had speculated.

He was a level higher in cultivation than Lu Ye, so he wasn't afraid of this strike. He held his weapon sideways, blocking the menacing blow. However, because Lu Ye had taken the initiative and attacked with momentum, the force of the strike caused him to stoop.

Before he could even recover, Lu Ye, still mid-air, retaliated with a straight strike.

This blade was extremely cunning, the four layers of defense were hard to withstand in a moment. He was also ruthless, instantly activating his protective spiritual energy to defend against the incoming strike, while simultaneously swinging his weapon towards Lu Ye's neck.

Although the three-layer and four-layer realms only differ by one level, there is a huge difference in strength because the spiritual apertures that need to be opened at the four-layer realm increase significantly.urn to the Kyushu at any time through their respective sect's teleportation pillars stationed in the battlefield. However, it is different for independent cultivators. Although they can also use this...
