Chapter 2237 - 2235: The Claw of the Dark Butterfly

Lu Ye did not know who Zhongpu was, but since the other party was a Dao Fusion cultivator, they must be the enemy's strong figure sitting in this war zone.

And the one able to converse with him must undoubtedly be the Dao Fusion governor from the human race battle alliance.

"None of your damn business!" An eerie voice sounded, presumably Zhongpu's, carrying some disdain: "I'll give you three breaths, get out yourself, or I'll kill you today!"

The previous voice suddenly burst into laughter: "Want to kill me? You'll need the ability to do that!" His strength indeed was slightly inferior to Zhongpu's, but only by a small margin, and countless clashes over the years had proven this point.

"Seeking death!" Zhongpu snorted coldly.

The next moment, Lu Ye, hidden in the shadows, instantly felt the fierce aftermath of the battle.

Suddenly, he was a little worried.

He didn't think it was a matter of luck and vaguely felt that Zhongpu was indeed searching for him, just unclear of his exact location, therefore searching in this area.

And since Zhongpu was a Dao Fusion strong figure sitting in this war zone, any movement would surely alarm the corresponding human race Dao Fusion governor.

The two clashed here, exchanging brief words before getting angry and fighting fiercely.

In such a situation, Lu Ye naturally couldn't reveal himself and could only wait quietly.

However, what surprised him was that the battle between these two Dao Fusion cultivators was not only fierce but also affected a vast area. He could clearly sense that the two's aura moved rapidly during the fierce fight, yet not leaving this area.

This incident was clearly somewhat unusual.

Not only did Lu Ye notice it, but the human race Dao Fusion who came to intercept Zhongpu also noticed it. Previously, when fighting Zhongpu, there was no such anomaly, but this time, for some reason, there seemed to be intentional movement of the battle group.

Yet in the battle, he dared not be distracted and could only fight Zhongpu desperately.

In the stellar space, the floating land crumbled, stars shattered, and a large area was almost turned into a vacuum zone.

Until a broken star was completely pulverized, suddenly a figure burst forth from it.

All along observing the surroundings, Zhongpu's eyes lit up. The information from the Insect Matriarch Dark Butterfly was indeed correct. That human was hiding in this area; he previously couldn't find them mainly because this area was large, and he couldn't accurately pinpoint, plus the opponent's concealment means were excellent.

But now, swept by the battle aftermath, he could hide no more.

Mission accomplished!

The reason he suddenly rushed here was naturally due to the orders from the Insect Matriarch Dark Butterfly.

He came here to search for someone, and if found, should be taken back.

If not found, then force them out!

The arrival of the human race Dao Fusion governor was expected, and fighting with them was a convenient outcome.

Now it appears that the Insect Matriarch Dark Butterfly was indeed flawless in her calculations, for this person was truly hiding here!

Compared to Zhongpu, the reaction from the human race Dao Fusion was much more astonished when Lu Ye was forced to emerge from hiding.

Both he and Zhongpu were at the 6th Order Dao Fusion, and the fierce aftermath of their clash wasn't something a typical beginner cultivation could withstand. Yet suddenly a person emerged unharmed, naturally leaving him bewildered.

The one who could remain stable in such aftermath must undoubtedly be a Dao Fusion, but since when did an additional human Dao Fusion appear in his stationed war zone?

What puzzled him further was that after this person's appearance, they unexpectedly charged toward the battlefield with murderous intent.

Lu Ye was incensed.

By now, he clearly knew that this Insect Race Dao Fusion named Zhongpu was sent by the Dark Butterfly to find him, and only Dark Butterfly could sense his approximate location from such a distance.

He was perfectly hidden!

While rushing towards the battle group of the two Dao Fusions, Lu Ye shouted in a low voice, "Zhongpu, hold him down, I'll kill!"

Zhongpu's brow slightly furrowed.

Since he received the command from the Dark Butterfly to find Lu Ye, he naturally got some other intel, such as how a Blood Race Dao Fusion had previously died at Lu Ye's hands.

Daring to kill the Blood Race Dao Fusion, it was undoubtedly an enemy, but the Insect Matriarch Dark Butterfly said this human was one of hers.

Moreover, Dark Butterfly specifically cautioned Zhongpu not to underestimate Lu Ye, his strength was by no means as simple as it seemed.

Due to some personal motives, Dark Butterfly didn't reveal to anyone about Lu Ye's Beginner cultivation, Hundred Dao Power's intel, as she knew saying so wouldn't be believed and would be hard to explain.

She just subtly reminded Zhongpu.

Therefore, Zhongpu felt very confused, this Lu Ye clearly had the demeanor of one of their own, but why did he previously kill a Blood Race Dao Fusion?

As his thoughts shifted here, the human race Dao Fusion looked surprised.

Because he had recognized Lu Ye's identity!

A few days ago, the events in the Shaochong Battle Planet sector had already spread throughout the entire human race territory, even reaching the Giant Race there with notifications.

The human race Lu Ye, captured over half a year ago, suspected to already be a spy, appeared at Shaochong Battle Planet, killed a 5th Order Blood Race Dao Fusion, now currently fleeing.

When this notification was released, many were baffled.

The first is Lu Ye's position. If he's really a hidden agent, why kill the Blood Race? If he's not, why flee?

The second is Lu Ye's strength.

Few people are familiar with him, but there are some. Before being captured, Lu Ye was just a Beginner, even with a Dao artifact, he could only exert the power of a dozen paths.

But how long has it been? He can actually kill a 5th Order Blood Race.

In such a short time, his strength has increased so immensely, it's simply unbelievable.

What exactly is Lu Ye's position now, and what strength does he possess? Probably only he knows.

The human race Dao Fusion fighting against Zhongpu has received reports from the battle alliance, and the battle zone where Shaochong Battle Planet is located is only separated by one Insect Path, so even though Lu Ye's appearance differs from the one in the report, he instantly identified him.

Clearly, Lu Ye left the Shaochong battle zone and hid here, only to be forced out by the conflict between him and Zhongpu.

And the words of Lu Ye shocked him even more.

He was already somewhat unable to cope with Zhongpu, and adding Lu Ye to the mix, how could he possibly survive?

Suddenly, he became extremely cautious and looked for a chance to escape.

Zhongpu wasn't too confident about Lu Ye either. Even though the Insect Matriarch Dark Butterfly said that Lu Ye was hers, the death of the Blood Race Dao Fusion was a precedent, so he naturally had to be cautious.

Thus, after Lu Ye spoke, the two Dao Fusions, engaged in battle, became extremely nervous.

Lu Ye, however, paid no mind; he was full of anger with nowhere to vent. Since Dark Butterfly dared to reach in, he decided to cut off this claw, or there would certainly be endless trouble in the future!

He wanted Dark Butterfly to realize he was no subordinate, under the Chains of Life, they were equals, free to act as he wished, and Dark Butterfly could not control him.

Before he arrived, the Boulder Mountain Saber had already slashed down, Dao force surged, and a fierce assault charged towards Zhongpu.

Zhongpu's face immediately changed. He was supposed to hold off the human race Dao Fusion while Lu Ye was supposed to kill him?

He secretly felt fortunate for not trusting Lu Ye's nonsense; otherwise, he would have been caught off guard.

He quickly mobilized his strength, using his Dao soldier to defend.

A violent force swept through, both Zhongpu and Lu Ye's bodies shook.

This showed a balanced confrontation.

Zhongpu's eyes bulged out in extraordinary shock.

With Dark Butterfly's reminder, he knew Lu Ye's strength was not weak, but it was only when they clashed that he truly felt it.

What shocked him was not only Lu Ye's potent strength but also... his cultivation!

The moment their powers collided, he immediately realized Lu Ye's Dao force was very scattered, a hallmark of Beginner cultivation, not Dao Fusion!

How was this possible?

Zhongpu couldn't believe it, but the facts were right before his eyes.

No time to think more, Lu Ye's saber had transformed into a waterfall of blades, fully enveloping him, Zhongpu roared, defending with all his might, each confrontation like a violent collision between stars.

In a one-on-one scenario, Zhongpu would fear nothing, but now his opponent wasn't just Lu Ye; he also faced another old adversary whose strength was only marginally lower.

As Lu Ye launched a fierce attack, the human race Dao Fusion, who was initially cautious and seemed ready to flee, changed expression seeing Lu Ye's aggressive charge, hesitated no more, fully unleashing his power to join in the attack.

In an instant, Zhongpu found himself struggling on all fronts, extremely embarrassed.

Realizing the dire situation, knowing he would likely perish if he didn't flee, a Mental Consciousness entered his mind.

He immediately shouted, "Lu Ye, Insect Matriarch Dark Butterfly said if you don't stop, she will die before your eyes!"

Saying this, Zhongpu's expression turned peculiar, feeling like the matriarch's words were somewhat like begging, and in such circumstances, it seemed even more bizarre.

But it was the original words conveyed by Dark Butterfly through several mediations, and as an Insect Race, even though not born from Dark Butterfly's hive, this transmission command could not be defied.

"Then let her die!" Lu Ye's expression remained unchanged, his attack grew even more ferocious.

The human race Dao Fusion assisting him also had a shift in expression, what was going on? One seemed to be pleading, while the other seemed like a heartless, unfaithful person.

In all his years, he had never seen such a strange occurrence!

Suddenly, blood splattered.

Though the confrontation was brief, in such intense contention, Zhongpu ultimately couldn't protect himself, as Lu Ye found an opportunity to strike him, the heavy carapace was cut open, blood flowed.

He didn't utter a word but realized he had to flee; if he didn't, he might follow in the footsteps of the Blood Race Dao Fusion who died not long ago.

The Dao soldier moved, unleashing a powerful blow that shook Lu Ye off, Zhongpu braved the incoming attack from the human race Dao Fusion, spitting a spray of blood mist and turned to escape!

Unexpectedly, even as he planned to flee, a point of blood light like fireflies burst forth, rapidly expanding into a Blood Sea!

Three figures sank within, disappearing from sight.
