Chapter 2310 - 2308: Heart Knot

At this moment, Song Weiwei launched a life-and-death attack towards Bing Yuan. The Shadow Race female cultivator had no defenses, so if the Shadow Race wanted to kill Song Weiwei, it would be almost impossible to fail. But in doing so, she would also follow Song Weiwei to the grave, because when danger appeared behind her, she felt the call of death.

There was no need to think about the choice.

The Shadow Race woman almost immediately abandoned Song Weiwei and turned to face the suddenly appearing formidable enemy.

She slashed out with a dirk in her hand, striking the incoming saber light.

The momentary clash made the Shadow Race female cultivator's expression solemn, because the combat cultivator who ambushed her was close to Peak Dao Fusion, if not there already.

Their strength was on par with each other.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, the solemn expression transformed into horror, because the long saber in the opponent's hand was violently vibrating, clashing with her Dao soldier four or five times in an instant.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but the critical point was that each clash discharged the Power of Dao Destruction.

This kind of fierce offensive was something she simply could not withstand!

Her figure leaned back, midsection exposed, the pitch-black saber slashed across her body, causing her to scream as she retreated swiftly, barely avoiding being sliced in two.

Her eyes trembled violently, unimaginable that someone who was only a few Powers of the Path away from Peak Dao Fusion could not withstand even a moment against this combat cultivator.

She had fought with other Peak Dao Fusion cultivators before, and not just once. Generally speaking, while her strength was indeed slightly inferior to Peak Dao Fusion, others almost couldn't kill her, she could always escape, the Shadow Race was adept in this aspect.

But this time, she truly faced a life-and-death crisis.

Just like the Demon Race that was slain by Lu Ye's Vibrating Saber Secret Technique before, she never expected anyone to unleash Dao force in this manner!

Without any hesitation, the Shadow Race suddenly turned into a shadow, swiftly fleeing into the distance, not even caring about her companion Bing Yuan.

Because she could feel that if she didn't leave now, she would surely die!

At such a critical moment, who cares about companions?

And as Lu Ye suddenly appeared and attacked the Shadow Race female cultivator, Song Weiwei's killing move enveloped Bing Yuan. It was Song Weiwei's desperate strike; she never expected to survive after this attack.

So even though her strength was slightly inferior to Bing Yuan, Bing Yuan dared not confront it head-on, abruptly, a visibly icy aura circulated from his body, quickly freezing him.

The blood-colored sword dragon roared past, Song Weiwei's face was extremely pale, yet she widened her eyes to look forward, then her gaze dimmed.

Because Bing Yuan at this moment was actually wrapped in a complete piece of black ice. The surface of the black ice was etched with marks left by the sword dragon's rampage, but it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Yet, despite being unharmed through this secret technique, Bing Yuan's expression became fearful at this moment because he saw Lu Ye driving away the Shadow Race female cultivator!

He knew very well his companion's strength. Now, after just one confrontation with that combat cultivator, she ran away; how terrifying must that combat cultivator's strength be?

So he hurriedly lifted the ice-sealing secret technique on himself, aiming to escape this place before Lu Ye regains his focus, otherwise, his fate would be dire.

Crash...

When the black ice shattered, Bing Yuan was about to retreat backwards, but just then, a heaven-shocking sword aura, like a fleeting glimpse, suddenly attacked him.

How is there still someone? Bing Yuan was shocked.

He hastily turned around, icy cold surged around him, raising his hand to point, a massive ice spike aiming towards the sword light.

Upon contact, the sword light and ice spike shattered simultaneously.

Bing Yuan was frozen in place, not daring to move...

Just three figures, arranged in a triangular form, surrounding him, leaving him slightly stunned. Aside from the female sword cultivator of the human race, the remaining two male cultivators looked identical, except one wielded a long saber and the other held a treasure resembling a gourd.

Twins?

No time to think further, Bing Yuan only knew he was in deep trouble this time.

On the other side, Song Weiwei's hollow gaze suddenly sparkled, originally she hadn't planned to survive after her desperate strike. She also knew her attack probably wouldn't kill Bing Yuan; her primary goal was seeking death!

But she never imagined that Lu Ye would quietly follow her, not only driving away the Shadow Race female cultivator but also severing Bing Yuan's retreat.

After half a month of interactions, she had never seen Lu Ye's doppelganger, unable to understand the situation, but this was clearly not the time to ask.

She reached out her hand, and the Daoist Soldier Long Sword, which had flown far off earlier, immediately flew back and was grabbed in her hand. Her face was slightly pale, she raised her sword, without a word, attacking Bing Yuan.

Lu Ye's true self and doppelganger naturally wouldn't stand by and watch, they immediately joined her in the attack.

With a three-sided assault, even with Bing Yuan's considerable strength, he could not handle it alone, escaping became a luxury.

After a short while, Bing Yuan, riddled with wounds, was pierced through the heart by Song Weiwei's sword, Dao force raging inside the Dao soldier, turning Bing Yuan's insides into a mess, his vitality declining sharply!

The reason it took so long was primarily because neither Lu Ye's true self nor his doppelganger exerted their full strength, merely forming a protective formation.

He certainly noticed Song Weiwei's hatred towards Bing Yuan, estimated that Song Weiwei came to seek revenge on Bing Yuan, and if it's revenge, doing it personally seemed more satisfying, allowing Song Weiwei to fully vent.

No matter what, she's his companion. For better future cooperation and relations, spending some effort now is worthwhile.

If it weren't for such considerations, why would Lu Ye secretly follow Song Weiwei here?

The main reason is that finding a suitable companion is not easy; otherwise, he wouldn't need to worry about others' affairs so much.

At the moment of life and death, Bing Yuan showed no signs of begging for mercy, instead, he just spat out Blood Water at Song Weiwei and grinned sinisterly: "Who is that to you? Before killing, I had a few really good days!"

Knowing there was no way out, it was clear he was seeking a quick end.

The hatred in Song Weiwei's eyes briefly condensed, then erupted like a volcano!

The longsword in her hand withdrew, bringing forth a mist of blood, and the sword light was fierce, forming a sword net that enshrouded Bing Yuan.

Standing nearby, Lu Ye allowed her to vent her internal anger, while both his true self and his doppelganger stood guard; in Bing Yuan's current state, he couldn't stir up much trouble.

The only thing that caught Lu Ye's attention was... the meaning behind Bing Yuan's words.

He thought that the hatred between Song Weiwei and Bing Yuan was simply due to a murdered companion, but generally, even if a companion was killed, Song Weiwei wouldn't react like this.

Everyone was a temporary partner, without too deep emotional bonds.

Unless Song Weiwei and her companion came from the same place, having known each other long ago, whether as relatives or brother and sister apprentices, such possibilities.

That wouldn't be impossible; among fifty thousand Peak Dao Fusion cultivators, there were always a few who were already acquainted.

But if so... Bing Yuan's taste would be too unique.

A few good days?

Lu Ye couldn't understand.

Bing Yuan finally died, his body shattered and disappeared, yet Song Weiwei seemed unaware, still aimlessly swinging her sword.

Lu Ye frowned.

After a long time, she seemed to lose all her strength, stopped her hand, then turned her head to look at Lu Ye; her expression was unsure whether crying or laughing, but it was extremely unpleasant.

Lu Ye slowly shook his head, didn't bother her, merely collected the Star Abyss coin, and then advanced in a direction.

He could see that Song Weiwei's emotional knot was deep-rooted; while he could help her kill Bing Yuan, the emotional knot could only be untied by herself, he couldn't help with that.

In this state, Song Weiwei was no longer suitable for companionship; if cooperating with her to kill enemies truly happened, it might turn into a burden and even affect his plan.

Anyway, he obtained a Star Abyss coin, it wasn't a loss this trip.

Having not ventured too far, he found a place nearby for a brief rest, examining himself.

Just now, he used the Vibrating Saber Secret Technique once, coupled with the instantaneous release of the thousand slashes of power, the muscles of his right arm were severely torn, needing some recovery.

Although he had gained substantial Star Abyss Blessing recently, enhancing his foundation, compared to the last time he used the Vibrating Saber, his strength had significantly improved, yet the burden hadn't reduced much; in fact, if not for the recent significant boost from the Star Abyss Blessing, this time the aftereffects might have been much more serious.

If it hadn't been for that reason, he would have completely had the chance to keep that Shadow Race woman as well.

In theory, the remaining wounds left by the Barghest Saber should contain traces of the barghest's power; if the distance isn't too far, Lu Ye could use it to sense her position and pursue her.

But now, the enemies Lu Ye faces are too strong, although the barghest's power is strange, the Peak Dao Fusion strongmen always have means to counteract.

So, shortly after the Shadow Race woman's escape, Lu Ye couldn't sense the remnants of the barghest's power, unquestionably it was either driven away or dissolved by her.

Unknown if upon promoting to Dao Fusion, nurturing the Barghest Saber will change this situation.

A presence approached, Lu Ye knew it was Song Weiwei following without needing to probe.

He didn't acknowledge her, focusing on his recovery.

Song Weiwei then sat quietly at a distance, also recovering herself; her injuries weren't severe, but her energy was greatly depleted, and the emotional ups and downs were most damaging to the spirit, even for those at Dao Fusion.

Only after a full half day did Lu Ye slowly open his eyes; the torn flesh of his right arm had fully healed, not affecting his next move.

Song Weiwei sensed it from not far away, got up and walked to Lu Ye, bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

If Lu Ye hadn't followed in secret, she wouldn't even have been able to avenge, she'd die herself, so her gratitude was heartfelt, without any pretense.

Lu Ye glanced at her lightly: "If you truly wish to die, I can fulfill that, at least we've collaborated for a while, thus won't be benefiting anyone else."

Song Weiwei smiled slightly: "If that day truly comes, please, Senior Brother, be decisive; I'm actually a bit afraid of pain."

Lu Ye also smiled; indeed, if she could say such words, probably she didn't want to die anymore.

For those who achieved Dao Fusion, the cultivation of the heart wouldn't be too poor; some matters, once understood, they're understood, if not, others' words wouldn't help.

"Can Senior Brother listen to my story?" Song Weiwei suddenly spoke.

"I have nothing else to do, speak, I'll listen!"
