Chapter 2316 - 2314: Ferocious Onslaught

After unleashing yet another wave of attacks, the golden‑haired woman lowered the longbow in her hand.

Her Dao force was almost completely exhausted; at this moment she basically no longer had any combat ability. Of course, if she wanted to leave, with how strange and unpredictable her methods were, unless someone had a power that specifically restrained her, no one would be able to stop her.

She turned her head to look at the domain where the four‑eared beings lived, and a sigh welled up from deep within her heart.

The exotic treasure… still hasn't been born, it's still in gestation!

This disappointed her greatly.

Because if the exotic treasure had already emerged, then she could take advantage of being closest to the water to get the moon and seize that treasure.

Then she could use it as bait to lure away all the nearby Dao Fusion cultivators, and thus naturally ensure the domain would not be lost and its beings remain unharmed.

This was her original plan: as long as she could hold the enemies off for a short while, seize the exotic treasure, then this domain could be preserved. Because all the Dao Fusion cultivators were drawn here by the exotic treasure; without that attraction, those Dao Fusion cultivators wouldn't spare this domain even a glance.

But the exotic treasure was still gestating, which made it impossible for her plan to be carried out at all.

So this is as far as it goes…

Because of the slaughter just now, she had undoubtedly already stirred up public wrath; all the Dao Fusion cultivators who had come to seize the treasure now regarded her as the number‑one enemy. From every direction, strands of qi locked onto her, wrapped in boundless killing intent.

If she didn't leave now, she was sure to die here.

"Ai!" Suddenly, a sigh drifted into her ears.

The golden‑haired woman was startled, because she realized that voice actually came from within the domain. This was almost impossible; she had been guarding here all along, so who could slip past her without a sound and break into that domain?

And that voice… sounded somewhat familiar.

She quickly looked over, only to see a figure strolling out from within the domain, and with just a few steps, he was standing before her.

Her golden eyes filled with astonishment. "How are you…"

She never imagined that the one walking out of the domain would actually be Lu Ye!

She hurriedly turned to look in one direction. Over there, Lu Ye and Song Weiwei were jointly intercepting and killing enemies who were approaching this side.

Lu Ye hadn't left; she had in fact noticed long ago. After all, although Lu Ye and Song Weiwei's movements over these past few days had been concealed, every time a Star Abyss Blessing descended, it was extremely conspicuous and naturally drew her attention.

She was actually very grateful in her heart, because Lu Ye hadn't acted so heartless. Of course, it might also be because of the Lover's Knot; she had forcibly bound Lu Ye as a companion, their lives tied as one, so Lu Ye was destined to be unable to abandon her.

"Is this your doppelganger?" the golden‑haired woman reacted.

The second time she'd crossed blows with Lu Ye, she had personally seen Lu Ye's bare doppelganger, and she had even fought a battle with that doppelganger. The doppelganger's excessively powerful strength had left an extremely deep impression on her!

Now, since there was a Lu Ye over there fighting enemies alongside Song Weiwei, and another one had appeared here, this one was undoubtedly a doppelganger.

She simply hadn't noticed when Lu Ye's doppelganger had hidden itself in the domain; it must have been something he'd done a few days ago.

"Still planning to hold out?" the doppelganger looked at her.

"I'm out of Dao force." The golden‑haired woman gave a bitter smile.

With no Dao force, even if she wanted to hold out, she was powerless to do so.

"Then why aren't you leaving?" The doppelganger frowned. In just these few moments, the Dao Fusion enemies charging over were drawing ever closer; if they didn't leave now, it would really be too late.

The golden‑haired woman shook her head. "I will fight until the very last moment!"

"Are you brain‑damaged or something?" the doppelganger couldn't help snapping. She had no Dao force left, yet she was still talking about fighting to the last moment. At this point, even an Enter the Path cultivator might be able to kill this golden‑haired woman!

"It's fine, I won't die. You go first, once this matter is over, I'll come find you!" The golden‑haired woman spoke lightly, but the doppelganger felt like knocking her out and carrying her away.

He had no idea where she got such confidence. Her Dao force was completely drained, so on what basis could she guarantee she wouldn't die?

Even if her Escape Technique was eerie and unpredictable, with so many Dao Fusion cultivators present, who could guarantee none of them had a means to restrain it? Once that ghost‑like Escape Technique was countered, no matter how many lives the golden‑haired woman had, they wouldn't be enough.

Especially since among them was still hidden an enemy that even Lu Ye feared immensely. He didn't know who that was, but the other party's strength was absolutely beyond doubt.

As the two talked, the enemies drew closer and closer.

There was no time to say more. The doppelganger stepped forward, coming up behind the woman, and ground out, "Don't move!"

The golden‑haired woman didn't know what Lu Ye intended to do, but she wasn't worried at all that he would harm her.

The doppelganger's palm pressed against her back. As his Dao force surged, intricate and complex patterns rapidly formed.

And as the Dao Runes took shape, a pair of splendid wing phantoms flashed into existence and then vanished.

A tangible, tight bond suddenly formed between the doppelganger and the golden‑haired woman.

"You…" The golden‑haired woman tilted her head, staring at the doppelganger in shock. She could feel that with the establishment of this tight bond, she seemed able to freely draw upon the power within the doppelganger's body. It was a very wondrous sensation, one she had never experienced before.

It was as if Lu Ye's doppelganger had become a Dao force reservoir outside her own body!

"Didn't you say you wanted to kill enemies? If you don't start now, we'll just sit here and wait to be killed." The doppelganger said irritably.

Anyway, with the doppelganger here, the golden‑haired woman wasn't afraid of death, so what was there for him to fear? If the doppelganger died, then it died; it wasn't like he hadn't died before. When the time came he only needed to reclaim the portion of the Talent Tree he'd split off.

Of course, because of the Lover's Knot, he absolutely could not allow the golden‑haired woman to be in mortal danger. This concerned the survival of his true body, and he couldn't afford the slightest carelessness.

"Senior Brother, thank you!" The golden‑haired woman's tone was sincere.

Up to now she still didn't know what Lu Ye was called, and she had never reported her own name to Lu Ye.

Their previous two encounters, both sides had wanted nothing more than to kill the other; this time they were fighting shoulder to shoulder. Truly, the affairs of the world were Wuchang.

The longbow hanging at her side rose once more. She lifted her hand and pinched the string, surging, pure Dao force coursed through the doppelganger and into her body. On the bowstring, a golden arrow rapidly took form.

All the Dao Fusion cultivators charging in to slay her had previously seen her longbow hanging down and were all overjoyed. They too knew that a barrage like the golden‑haired woman's consumed an immense amount of Dao force. They all figured she was already spent and burned out, naturally no longer to be feared.

But with the appearance of another human figure, this golden‑haired woman's offensive actually showed signs of rekindling from dead ashes!

And as that golden radiance appeared, every Dao Fusion cultivator felt a chill run through their bodies. No one knew whether that one strike would fall on themselves, and if it did, whether they could withstand it!

Golden light flashed.

In the team closest to the domain, the male cultivator's body shook, his protective Dao force shattered apart, but his cultivation wasn't bad, so this merely broke his defense, nothing more.

Yet seeing golden light flare again over there, the male cultivator's expression turned to despair.

Just then, his female cultivator companion actually flickered forward and blocked in front of him.

The female cultivator's protective Dao force also shattered!

But she ultimately saved her companion's life!

That instant of delay let the male cultivator finally recondense protective force. He yanked the female cultivator to stand behind him.

Both of them were wildly excited, because they realized they had found the best way to deal with this bizarre offensive—take turns to block it. Their strength was great enough; as long as the opponent couldn't kill them in a single shot, they could keep blocking like this.

The enemy's Dao force was limited—could the two of them combined not outlast the other's alone?

"Don't worry about Dao force consumption. Whatever methods you have, as long as your body can bear it, use them without restraint!"

Behind the golden‑haired woman, Lu Ye's doppelganger also saw what was happening over here and hurriedly sent her an audio transmission.

He had crossed blows with the golden‑haired woman before, so he naturally knew her methods were not limited to what she had shown earlier.

"Got it!" The golden‑haired woman inclined her head. She too understood this was no time to conserve Dao force; everything had to be done under the premise of killing the enemy as quickly as possible. If those many foes got close, even with heaven‑piercing methods she would struggle to display them.

She lightly pinched her fingers; golden light surged and crashed.

Another strike shot out, still targeting that male cultivator who had escaped death once.

This time, with experience, the other party was even more emboldened. He madly urged Dao force to shield himself, while sending an audio transmission to his companion, telling her to be ready to take his place.

However, in the very next instant his pupils filled with horror, because he suddenly discovered that what struck him this time was not one point of golden light, but three!

Three points linked into a line!

They hit him almost simultaneously, front and back indistinguishable.

As his protective Dao force shattered, his whole person shattered apart as well.

Caught by the sudden change, the female cultivator companion who was just about to take his place froze for a moment, and immediately afterward the aura of death engulfed her; in an instant she lost all consciousness!

Dots of golden light flickered without pause, strands of vitality snuffed out one after another!

All the Dao Fusion cultivators charging toward the golden‑haired woman couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Just moments ago, although the golden‑haired woman's offensive was powerful and strange, it still hadn't filled them with despair. After all, everyone knew that human strength had its limits; someone as powerful as her was only temporarily so, because her Dao force consumption was too severe.

But ever since that figure suspected to be her companion appeared at her side, the golden‑haired woman's offensive suddenly grew far more violent.

It was as if, with a companion, her entire being had undergone some inconceivable ascension.

The golden‑light attacks pouring out from her side were continuous and unending…

The Dao Fusion cultivators famed across every corner of Star Abyss, who enjoyed great honor, were horrified. Did an offensive like this not require Dao force? How could a single person possibly have so much Dao force to squander?

Not only could these Dao Fusion cultivators not make sense of this, even the golden‑haired woman herself couldn't!

The doppelganger had previously told her not to worry about Dao force, to just use whatever methods she had. She had assumed the doppelganger had simply grasped how grim the situation was. In truth, under such circumstances she had no way to think about more; she could only unleash her strongest methods to kill, shooting down any Dao Fusion cultivator who tried to approach!

She had thought the doppelganger surely wouldn't be able to endure for long.

But even now, the warm palm pressed against her back remained as solid as bedrock. Under that mysterious, profound connection, every moment a vast amount of Dao force flowed into her body, becoming the capital with which she killed her enemies.

How much Dao force had she drained from him? Eight thousand, ten thousand, or even more?

She could no longer calculate it.
