Chapter 51 Causes and Consequences
Lu Ye gathered his spiritual power in his legs, and the speed of pursuit was obviously much faster.
This was a little trick he accidentally discovered on the way in and out of Qingyun Mountain several times. The spiritual power of the cultivators has many magical uses. If it is gathered in the eyes, you can see things that you can't see normally. If it is concentrated in the legs, you can run faster. If it is added to the sword, it can make the weapon more lethal.
The terrain of the mountain forest is complex, and there are big trees that several people can hug everywhere. The person running in front is naturally not as familiar with the terrain as Lu Ye, and the distance between them is getting closer and closer.
When Lu Ye saw the man's back clearly, all his doubts were suddenly clear.
He knew who was planning all this behind the scenes. This result surprised him, because in his opinion, he had no grudges with the other party, and he had only met him once!
"Roar!" A snow-white figure suddenly rushed out from the front and blocked the man's way. It was Da Hu!
The man was frightened by the tiger and screamed. He threw out the talisman he had held in his hand without thinking. The talisman turned into a crescent-shaped slash in the air and attacked the tiger.
The tiger dodged in a hurry. The crescent-shaped slash almost slashed through its body and cut through the trunk of a big tree behind it, which shows the penetrating power of the talisman.
The man looked even more panicked after failing to hit the target. He frantically took something out of his storage bag.
A small figure had silently climbed onto her back, making a piercing scream.
Lu Ye saw that the man's body shrunk, as if something heavy was pressed on him, and the movement of his hands also paused.
This reminded Lu Ye of the first encounter with Yiyi and Dahu in the cave. He was ambushed by Yiyi in this way at that time...
After being delayed like this, Lu Ye had already rushed to her and slashed with a sword.
A bright sword flashed, an arm flew out, and blood flew.
The pain made her scream. Although she was born as a casual cultivator, she was noticed by the people of Tianji Business Alliance and accepted into the business alliance not long after entering the Lingxi battlefield because of her outstanding figure and appearance. She has never fought with anyone in these days, let alone suffered such a serious injury.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a flower raised in a greenhouse.
Most of the people in the business alliance are of this type. They don’t need to fight with others, and they don’t have the hardships and dangers that disciples of various sects experience on the battlefield. They just need to do business well.
The big tiger pounced and knocked her to the ground, roaring fiercely, and the fishy wind blew in her face, almost scaring her to faint.
What made her even more frightened was the sound of footsteps coming from the side. Turning her head, she saw Lu Ye’s sword pointing diagonally to the ground, with blood flowing on the blade, and walking towards her step by step.
When he got close, Lu Ye looked down at her and said lightly: "Liu Ruyin!"
This woman was the one who made a deal with him when he first went to Tianji Business Alliance.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me!" Liu Ruyin's makeup was all smudged by tears, and she kept begging.
Lu Ye lowered her eyebrows: "Who ordered you?"
"No one ordered me, I was bewitched and tempted by money..." Under great fear, Liu Ruyin naturally said whatever she wanted, and even without waiting for Lu Ye to continue asking questions, she told a lot of the cause and effect.
"Is that so..." Lu Ye raised the sword in his hand high.
Recognizing Lu Ye's murderous intention, Liu Ruyin shouted: "Don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want!"
The long sword fell, and Da Hu dodged in time, and the sword blade blessed by spiritual power crossed Liu Ruyin's white and slender neck.
A little yellow light flew out from the back of Liu Ruyin's snow-white hand and swept into Lu Ye's right hand.
The headless corpse twitched, and blood gushed out of the neck like a fountain, and it took a long time to stop.
Yiyi's eyelids jumped as she watched from the side. Everything today refreshed her perception of Lu Ye. She realized that Dahu was just lucky not to die in the hands of this guy before. This guy is not a good person to talk to.
Lu Ye bent down, took off the storage bag on Liu Ruyin's waist, and reached out to touch her all over. Of course, he did this not to take advantage of anything, but he wanted to see if this woman had a hidden storage bag.
He himself had a hidden storage bag... He thought that others might have one too.
Unfortunately, Liu Ruyin didn't have this habit. After all, she was a member of the Merchant Alliance. She didn't need to fight with others or take risks outside. It was safe to carry a storage bag with her.
Liu Ruyin's storage bag was open. Lu Ye checked it a little and found some useful things.
"Deal with the body." Lu Ye ordered.
"Huh?" Yiyi looked at him incredulously, as if she was kidding.
Lu Ye took out a bottle from Liu Ruyin's storage bag and tossed it in his hand.
"Okay!" He responded reluctantly, winked at Da Hu, and hurriedly got busy.
Lu Ye ran back to the place where he had killed the white monk before, picked up his storage bag, and also the weapon of the white monk.
Half an hour later, in the cave where he lived, Lu Ye sat cross-legged, bare-chested, and applied healing pills to his wounds.
There were not many healing pills left in his hand. He used two pills this time, and there were only four pills left.
Recalling today's battle, Lu Ye did not feel complacent because he killed a third-level Lingxi, but was reflecting on himself. The fights between low-level cultivators are mostly close combat. It can be said that most low-level cultivators follow the path of military cultivation. Because their cultivation is not high enough and they have been practicing for a short time, low-level cultivators have no time and energy to study any magic. Only when they become stronger will they gradually understand their future path.
This battle with the white monk exposed a very serious problem, that is, he had no skills in the battle. This was also unavoidable. He had only been practicing for less than three months. During this period, he had been improving his cultivation. How could he have the spare energy to improve any fighting skills?
In the end, he was able to kill the white monk by taking advantage of Dahu's momentum and hitting the opponent unexpectedly.
But he didn't know how to improve his skills. Without a suitable teacher to guide him, it would undoubtedly not work if he explored on his own.
Another thing is the weapon...
I didn't feel much before. The long sword in his hand was left by Yang Guanshi after his death. Before that, he used this sword to kill Zhou Cheng, but the fight with Zhou Cheng was just a moment.
After a life-and-death fight with the fair-skinned man today, he really noticed one thing, that is, he and this long sword are seriously incompatible. This sword is not easy to use in his hand.
The sword moves lightly and pays attention to skills, but he just chops with the long sword and can't play the advantages of the sword at all.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye put on his clothes again, picked up the long sword at his feet and looked at it carefully. There were many gaps on the blade, all caused by his chops, especially a gap at 30% of the sword body, which was almost as big as a grain of rice.
Such a gap is very serious for a long sword, and it can no longer be used.
He picked up the long sword of the fair-skinned man again, stood up and played with it for a few times, and raised his eyebrows.
This thing is unexpectedly exciting to play with.
