Chapter 2335 - 2333: Senior Brother, You Must Stay Alive

The four Dao Pools on the Baiyu Platform were occupied by numerous puppets.

There were a total of twenty-three.

Lu Ye and Su Yan were nowhere to be seen.

Such a situation clearly indicated that a recent conflict had erupted, causing the jellyfish star beast to lose a few puppets, and Lu Ye and Su Yan had fled from here.

Solar Flames and Moonless were hiding nearby, secretly observing, their expressions gradually becoming steely and resolute.

Given the current situation, even if he didn't want to take action, he had no choice. Once the Dao Pools were occupied, these puppets were quickly recovering. The more time they wasted, the worse the situation would be for them.

Surely, they could choose not to act, but could they really expect Lu Ye and Su Yan to take action?

Twenty-three Dao Fusion puppets! Solving this was not a simple task. Previously, even teaming up against a dozen had strained him and Moonless, let alone here with more than twenty.

But with the addition of the Blood Owl, they could at least try. At worst, they could escape in time without any problems. If these puppets dared to chase, it would be to their advantage.

With this thought, Solar Flames hesitated no longer, activating his Mental Consciousness to send an audio transmission to Moonless. They both slipped into the shadows and charged toward the Baiyu Platform.

As he moved, the many puppets immediately became aware, and almost at the same time, all twenty-three puppets turned their heads, their eyes vacant and dull, staring intently.

The scene looked incredibly eerie, and even though Solar Flames was very strong, it made him feel a bit anxious.

But once the arrow is released, there is no turning back. As he dashed forward, a layer of golden armor swiftly covered him, wrapping him from head to toe.

Beside him, a full moon suddenly rose behind Moonless, hanging overhead, bathing the surroundings in moonlight.

The tall and short figures charged directly at one of the Dao Pools. The six puppets in that pool quickly retreated, while puppets from the remaining three pools hastened over to support.

Although the Baiyu Platform was quite large, with the four Dao Pools located in the corners, the Dao Fusion speed was incredibly fast. Such support required less than a breath, enabling the puppets to converge. By then, with over twenty attacking together, Solar Flames and Moonless could not possibly prevail.

Yet at this moment, another figure emerged from the side, wrapped in blood, a burst of blood light exploded, and an expansive Blood Sea roared open!

"Well done!" If time permitted, Solar Flames would have praised the Blood Owl. The timing of this Blood Race's intervention was sublime — a moment earlier would expose them prematurely, a moment later would be too late.

The Blood Sea unfolded, encompassing the entire Baiyu Platform, sparing only Qi's location, untouched, yet she remained indifferent.

In an instant, all the puppets were lost in the Blood Sea, their figures rising and falling.

Solar Flames and Moonless were also initially disoriented, but quickly gained Insight under the guidance of the Blood Owl.

Not far ahead of them were the six Dao Fusion members initially gathered at one Dao Pool — their targets.

Originally in the process of retreating to join the association with puppets coming from the other three Dao Pools, under the Blood Sea's interference, they instantly became chaotic.

It was at this moment, Solar Flames and Moonless struck.

Ferocious Dao force erupted vigorously, extinguishing lives one after another.

Solar Flames' efficiency in killing was terrifying. Without joining forces, none of these puppets could withstand a single punch from him, given the vast disparity in strength.

Not only that, but Moonless also demonstrated immense power. All along, she assisted Solar Flames, but she was also at Peak Dao Fusion. To cultivate to this level in the Star Abyss, how could she lack methods to kill enemies?

From the moon overhead, which moved with her, Moonbeams formed sword after sword, blasting around. Within merely two breaths, the six puppets were annihilated.

Solar Flames and Moonless quickly redirected, surging deeper into the Blood Sea. Guided by the Blood Owl, they could easily find the enemies' traces in this vast sea, catching them off guard and claiming their lives.

On another front, the Blood Owl moved through the Blood Sea, soon arriving at a position, gazing at a distant, ethereal figure shrouded in red.

With a sigh in his heart, he reached forward.

Though that Dao Fusion was trapped in the Blood Sea, with greatly impaired senses and vision, her instincts remained. Almost at the moment the Blood Owl reached out, she countered with a swift sword much like instinct, the attack frenzied and sharp.

This sword was blocked by the Blood Owl's protective Dao force.

The Blood Owl's hand grabbed at the jellyfish hat atop her head, Dao force raging!

The transparent jellyfish shuddered violently, seemingly sensing the danger, it controlled the puppet to swing the sword, slashing madly, while numerous tendrils writhed, drawing out from the puppet's body, thrusting at the Blood Owl like a long whip.

After withstanding several attacks, the protective Dao force shattered, blood spraying forth from the Blood Owl, but with a fierce exertion of his grip, the transparent jellyfish was crushed.

The sword-wielder instantly froze, as if struck by lightning.

The vacant eyes slowly regained a trace of clarity, finally understanding what had occurred earlier. Her face subtly changed, lifting her gaze toward the Blood Owl, only to meet a pair of eyes that seemed somewhat familiar!

"Senior Brother Lu?" She blurted without thought.

The Blood Owl nodded.

Song Weiwei smiled.

How splendid!

Senior Brother Lu was still alive. Indeed, that blonde woman was the best companion for him. If it were with her, they surely wouldn't have made it this far. She admitted she couldn't offer substantial help to Lu Ye. If they met strong enemies, she might even become a burden.

But that blonde woman was different. Their strengths might be comparable, but her companionship with Senior Brother Lu was truly a match made in heaven.

Song Weiwei's figure slowly retreated: "Senior Brother, farewell forever. You must survive."

Lu Ye frowned, preparing to ask, when his expression changed.

In the blood-red shroud, Song Weiwei's form grew increasingly blurry, making her hard to see clearly. But since this Blood Sea was spread out by Lu Ye's doppelganger, he perceived everything within it clearly.

The vitality within Song Weiwei's body... was rapidly dissipating. Not only that, her originally beautiful face and lively body were withering, like a wilted flower!

She obviously knew what her end would be like, so she didn't want Lu Ye to see her final appearance.

She wanted to use the blood-red hue to conceal all these changes...

The doppelganger lowered its eyelids.

By this moment, he understood what was happening to Song Weiwei. All the jellyfish star beast's puppets, once controlled by it, had virtually no hope of survival.

They were indeed still alive, but were also already dead.

Because once that jellyfish cap detached from the puppet, they would die instantly!

Lu Ye didn't know this detail; he thought that once he destroyed the jellyfish cap, he could save Song Weiwei. But her regaining of freedom also meant the end of her life.

This was the jellyfish star beast's wicked fallback for controlling its puppets.

No time for sorrow, the Blood Sea was violently shaking.

More than twenty Dao Fusion cultivators trapped inside, with top-tier experts like Solar Flames and Moonless, even the Blood Sea conjured by Lu Ye couldn't withstand the impact for too long.

Moreover, the jellyfish star beast, to escape quickly, almost immediately upon the Blood Sea spreading, controlled all its puppets to strike madly, shaking all directions.

Almost at the same time Song Weiwei's vitality dissipated, the vast Blood Sea also collapsed.

Many figures appeared!

The situation changed dramatically!

Solar Flames and Moonless were brimming with killing intent. Among the twenty-three puppets under the jellyfish star beast, only thirteen remained now.

In a short period, Solar Flames and Moonless had jointly slain nine, highlighting their terrifying power.

And what hit the jellyfish star beast hardest was its strongest puppet, Song Weiwei, had died in battle!

With thirteen puppets remaining, the number was still considerable, but considering the same number had hunted Solar Flames and Moonless, only to be slaughtered by them, the jellyfish star beast's chances of victory were nearly nonexistent.

But in this situation, it had no other choice.

It couldn't escape; with thirteen puppets cooperating, perhaps it stood a chance in battle, but fleeing would only result in being slaughtered one by one.

So, after the Blood Sea shattered, the thirteen puppets unhesitatingly charged towards Solar Flames and Moonless, intent on a desperate fight!

These thirteen, representing various factions, were all controlled by the jellyfish star beast, naturally coordinating seamlessly in combat.

Solar Flames and Moonless suddenly found themselves slightly overwhelmed.

Ultimately, they hadn't completely recovered. After the four Dao Pools appeared on the Baiyu Platform, they had experienced several battles, each consuming substantial energy.

Now, even Moonless no longer cast the Oceanic Sky-Clear Moon secret technique, as it consumed an enormous amount of Dao force.

She had to reserve some strength.

Although they had a Blood Owl to assist, its Blood Sea Secret Technique was broken, clearly suffering considerable backlash. At the moment, he was hiding afar, bleeding profusely, looking dejected and incredibly forlorn.

Seeing his dismal state, Solar Flames realized they couldn't rely on him for the time being, only collaborating with Moonless to defend while awaiting the right moment to strike down their foes.

Ten thousand miles away, on a floating land, Lu Ye's true self and Su Yan stood quietly, each channeling their ocular power to observe the battlefield.

Lu Ye's expression was calm, while Su Yan's eyes were complex.

She hadn't expected the contest to develop to this state.

Of course, she knew that the so-called Blood Owl was Lu Ye's doppelganger in disguise, because she watched Lu Ye's doppelganger transform into the now-deceased Blood Owl.

Even for her, she couldn't spot any flaw, let alone Solar Flames and Moonless.

When selected to participate in the contest, Su Yan didn't have much confidence, as her skill in Dao Fusion wasn't outstandingly superior. The only thing she relied on was her innate Divine Ability from her Bloodline heritage.

But that only allowed her to escape, not kill.

She certainly wanted to find a powerful partner, but had yet to succeed. The two she barely found that met her criteria were killed by Lu Ye one after another.

She was genuinely infuriated.

The Lover's Knot binding had united her with Lu Ye in life and death, step by step arriving at today. Now, the final victory was almost at their fingertips?

She felt fortunate but simultaneously tormented.
