Chapter 2312 - 2310: Lover's Knot

Lu Ye was confident that with the Vibrating Saber Secret Technique, if he could get close to the blonde woman, he had a seventy percent chance of dealing with her.

He also had the opportunity to use Void Dao Runes to counter her Escape Technique, something he had tried before.

As he pondered, Lu Ye's Mental Consciousness quietly surged: "Junior Sister, can you help me?"

Song Weiwei had no hesitation: "Senior Brother, please speak."

Perhaps because Lu Ye had avenged her great hatred for her, Song Weiwei's attitude towards Lu Ye was now almost unconditional trust and compliance.

After all, in her original plan, she was prepared to die without achieving revenge.

If Lu Ye needed it, she wouldn't complain about giving her life.

"Did you see what happened just now?" Lu Ye asked.

Song Weiwei nodded: "Of course, the person hiding in the shadows used very strange methods, I couldn't figure out her position."

"I have a grudge against this person!"

Song Weiwei's expression turned cold.

"But she remembers me, so if I show myself, she will be on guard. That's why I need Junior Sister to find out her position."

"No problem!" Saying this, Song Weiwei was about to dash towards the exotic treasure, judging from the situation earlier, that hidden strong opponent must have had her eyes on the exotic treasure, thus not permitting anyone to approach.

As long as she acted like she was approaching, it would naturally trigger the opponent's attack, giving Lu Ye enough time to determine her hiding place.

She was a mere bait.

Lu Ye grabbed her arm: "Don't rush, I haven't finished speaking."

Song Weiwei immediately adopted a listening posture.

"Her methods seem related to space, her attacks leave no trace, so Junior Sister, you must be extremely careful. Your strength should be on par with hers, so as long as you're careful, you shouldn't be in mortal danger. You don't need to hold her for long, just ten breaths, and I will definitely find her!"

"Alright!" Song Weiwei nodded earnestly.

"Go." Lu Ye gave the order, and his doppelganger, tens of thousands of miles away, was already rushing over here. Once he found the blonde woman's hiding place, both his main body and doppelganger would act together, and this time the blonde woman would definitely suffer.

Once this blonde woman was dealt with, there would be one less powerful opponent vying for the exotic treasure. Otherwise, with such a formidable enemy lurking in the shadows, Lu Ye really wouldn't be able to show himself easily.

Watching the situation, Song Weiwei transformed into a streak of Liu Guang, swiftly heading towards the star, looking as if she had been attracted by the exotic treasure and was coming to seize it.

Just as she was about to approach that star, a golden attack arrived as expected!

And the source of the golden light was different from before, clearly indicating that the blonde woman had changed her position after killing two in the Dao Fusion stage.

This was also why Lu Ye did not rush towards her original spot immediately, because it was simply impossible to succeed.

Despite Lu Ye's reminder and Song Weiwei's extreme vigilance, she couldn't defend against the blonde woman's attack and had to rely on her protective Dao force to endure.

Under this strike, she was staggered, and her protective Dao force nearly shattered, causing her face to change slightly.

Almost at the moment the golden light flickered, Lu Ye had already acted, with Concealment and Breath-concealing Dao Runes upon him, his whole being like a shadow, traversing the Void.

The second burst of golden light appeared, changing positions once more, reaching Song Weiwei in an instant. Though she barely blocked it, the powerful shock made her pause in her tracks.

Not stopping, she continued forward without hesitation.

The third burst of golden light appeared, but not in the previous direction…

The blonde woman was clearly changing her position constantly, making her attacks harder to guard against and to prevent anyone from tracing her whereabouts.

She obviously knew that there were more enemies hidden in the shadows than just the one visible, and she was always on alert for a possible ambush.

In such a situation, Lu Ye found himself infuriated, the blonde woman was proving too hard to handle.

Near the star where the exotic treasure had emerged, Song Weiwei was also aware of this issue, her brows furrowed. In such circumstances, even if she remained as bait to lure the enemy to attack, it would be difficult for Lu Ye to pinpoint the enemy's precise location because even if he found it, there wouldn't be enough time to respond.

So she had to find a way to make the enemy stay in place for a moment! Only then would Lu Ye have an opportunity.

With this thought, she made a decision!

The Dao force that should have been fully protecting her was quickly withdrawn partially.

Almost at the moment she completed this action, the golden attack arrived as expected!

With all her strength, she could block the blonde woman's attack, as their strengths were fairly matched, but having intentionally withdrawn her defense, she couldn't block this strike.

The moment her protective Dao force shattered, a burst of blood mist exploded, and a pained expression covered Song Weiwei's face, her chest was pierced through.

This was the result of her forcibly twisting her body upon sensing the crisis, otherwise, her heart would have burst open. If so, the injury wouldn't have been light for her.

With the injury came a sense of deadly threat.

From the corner of her eye, she glimpsed the source of the golden light, and Song Weiwei knew that her plan had succeeded!

Upon realizing she had injured her, the enemy indeed didn't change positions again but prepared to strike once more to capture her in a decisive effort.

Such a move by the opponent undoubtedly gave Lu Ye an opportunity!

Though Lu Ye was silently approaching the star where the exotic treasure had emerged, he was also keeping an eye on Song Weiwei's situation.

Her sudden injury left Lu Ye puzzled, because according to his judgment, Song Weiwei's strength was comparable to that of the blonde female cultivator. Even if the blonde's attack was difficult to defend against, as long as Song Weiwei maintained her strongest defense without worrying about Dao force depletion, she shouldn't have gotten hurt.

Yet somehow, she's injured.

When he noticed the blonde was no longer changing positions and seemed intent on killing Song Weiwei, Lu Ye's Dao force abruptly surged throughout his body as he dashed towards the source of the golden light.

At the same time, his Mental Consciousness surged wildly, encompassing that area, Dao force intertwined within, rapidly forming a massive Void Dao Rune.

Within that range, it was like stones dropping into a calm lake, creating ripples upon ripples.

Then Lu Ye saw a familiar figure: golden hair, golden eyes, tall and slender, exuding a saintly and noble aura, wielding an ornate long bow.

It could only be the blonde female cultivator!

Let's see where you run now! Lu Ye placed his hand on the Boulder Mountain Saber's hilt as he swiftly approached.

The Talent Tree Avatar was already on the way. As long as he could hold her for three breaths, his main body and the avatar could join forces, making it impossible for her to escape no matter how strange her methods were!

Not to mention Song Weiwei, who was heading over from the start.

This time, she's definitely going to die!

Four eyes met.

Lu Ye furrowed his brows slightly.

Because he saw a hint of surprise flash in the golden eyes of the blonde female cultivator; she clearly didn't expect to encounter Lu Ye here, but that surprise was quickly replaced by joy.

Lu Ye suspected he was mistaken; when enemies meet, it should be animosity, not joy.

Moreover, this time he was filled with killing intent, absolutely not going to show any mercy.

Then he saw the blonde lower the long bow in her hand and suddenly something appeared in her other hand, aimed distantly at him.

Lu Ye saw clearly; it was something resembling a bowtie, entirely transparent and crystal clear, possibly an exotic treasure.

Yet oddly, he didn't feel any sense of danger; in other words, even if it was indeed an exotic treasure, it seemed to pose no threat to him.

Has this woman gone mad? In such a life-or-death moment, not only did she abandon attack, she didn't even intend to defend, instead taking out such a thing—what for?

While he was full of confusion, the bowtie in the blonde's hand suddenly came alive, transforming into a translucent, fluttering butterfly, flying from her hand.

With a flap of its wings, it appeared right in front of Lu Ye.

Just like her inescapable attacks, there was no trajectory to speak of.

Lu Ye couldn't dodge at all, only mobilizing his Dao force to protect himself.

The butterfly hit Lu Ye's body, and sure enough, it didn't cause him any harm, but strangely, it directly merged into his body and disappeared.

With a swift movement, Lu Ye had already reached the blonde female cultivator, the Boulder Mountain Saber whistling out, resting on her slender neck.

The blonde turned her head to look at Lu Ye, without any intention of dodging, her expression indifferent.

Lu Ye's eye twitched, yet he couldn't bring himself to strike!

At that moment, Song Weiwei arrived.

Though she was injured, the wound wasn't serious for her. Fusing with the sword light, she directly attacked the blonde.

The blonde didn't even glance at her, as if she didn't care at all, her eyes firmly on Lu Ye.

She naturally realized Lu Ye and Song Weiwei were allied.

"Wait!" Lu Ye hurriedly called to Song Weiwei.

Without stopping her, the blonde female cultivator would at least be heavily injured.

Song Weiwei was naturally compliant with Lu Ye's orders. The sword light dispersed, revealing her figure, she looked at Lu Ye curiously, wondering why her senior brother hadn't acted.

There was absolutely no possibility he was coveting beauty, as she believed her own appearance and figure to be top choices; yet even after she offered herself to him before, he remained indifferent. Certainly, he wouldn't be taken by this female cultivator's beauty.

So then why?

Her senior brother had explicitly said this was an enemy.

"What is that?" Lu Ye asked the blonde.

He had a feeling something wasn't right; when the translucent butterfly merged into his body, he didn't feel much, but when he approached her, preparing to strike, an inexplicable sense of great danger rose within him.

As if striking her would definitely lead to something bad happening to him.

This feeling was absurd yet extremely clear.

So he couldn't bring himself to strike.

He guessed it had something to do with the butterfly just then.

"It's the exotic treasure Lover's Knot. Once activated, the initiator and the chosen target become allies. If either party dies, the other will be erased by the Will of the Star Abyss."

The blonde explained calmly, and Lu Ye listened, his eyes twitching.
