Free Web NovelChapter 2102: Chapter 2100: Taking On a Big Job
Upon examining the jade slip given by Du Qingsha, it indeed contained many cultivation techniques for the Dao Bone, not only concerning the second Dao Bone but also techniques for cultivators who have entered the Dao Realm.
For example, Xsu Rong and Snake Girl are currently 3rd Dao cultivators, but this doesn’t mean they’ll remain 3rd Dao cultivators for life. They can also enhance their foundation through certain cultivation techniques or treasures, thereby increasing their control over Dao force, providing the opportunity to advance to the 4th or even 5th Dao.
At the very least, Xsu Rong is already quite close to the 4th Dao.
Another day passed, and Xsu Rong and Snake Girl also finally refined their spoils of war. The squad set off again.
Among the team, there were two 5th Dao cultivators and two 3rd Dao cultivators. Such a configuration was unique across the entire battlefield, and as long as they were careful enough, there was basically no danger.
That day, Lu Ye, who was acting as bait, was wandering around an area when he suddenly heard Du Qingsha’s audio transmission: "Follow me!"
Lu Ye turned his head to see Du Qingsha and the others, who had been Concealed, revealing themselves, with Xsu Rong waving at him from over there.
Lu Ye quickly flew over, walking side by side with Xsu Rong.
"Where are we going?" Lu Ye asked.
Xsu Rong chuckled, "To do something big."
Lu Ye was immediately intrigued. Currently, his Dao force accumulation was stable, and he was curious about what changes would occur if his Dao force broke through 400. He asked, "What do you mean?"
"Kill a 6th Dao!" Xsu Rong succinctly replied.
Lu Ye’s expression turned serious. Although his current limit was also the 6th Dao, he had never encountered a powerful 6th Dao opponent. Even though the squad had been active in the central area, the range was vast, and nobody knew how many powerful Star Abyss outsiders were hidden within.
"Just us?"
"Of course not, there’s another team coordinating with us."
Lu Ye instantly understood.
It wasn’t just Team A-3 active in the central area; there were many other teams. They had encountered several teams during this time, but there wasn’t much in-depth communication. They usually parted ways after a brief encounter.
Since they needed to kill a 6th Dao powerhouse, it was clear that a single team, Team A-3, wouldn’t suffice.
Two hours later, under Du Qingsha’s lead, the team arrived at a large piece of floating land and successfully met up with another squad waiting there.
This squad’s configuration was the same as Team A-3, with four members. The leader was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, along with an old man, a woman, and a middle-aged man.
They were all cultivators from the Thunderbolt Battle Fortress and came from the hunting camp. Naturally, they were familiar with each other. Upon meeting, the two captains exchanged a few words.
The young leader then curiously sized up Lu Ye: "Sister Qingsha, what’s the situation with this team member? If I’m not mistaken, he’s only at the Divine Realm Early Stage, right? How did he get here?"
Du Qingsha smiled slightly: "He is indeed in the Divine Realm Early Stage, but his strength can’t be measured by his Cultivation Realm."
"Oh? Can he also harness Dao force?" the young man asked with keen interest, and the others also looked over at Lu Ye, seemingly wanting to see what was special about him.
"Not only can he harness Dao force, but he is a 5th Dao!" Du Qingsha didn’t hide the fact because, given that they were cooperating to hunt a 6th Dao powerhouse, everyone needed to be clear about each other’s abilities.
"What?" The young man was shocked, his eyes widening as he looked at Lu Ye and then at Du Qingsha: "Sister Qingsha, you’re not joking?"
Du Qingsha said solemnly, "I wouldn’t joke about such a thing."
The young man frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Sister Qingsha, it’s not that I don’t want to believe you, but such matters... I need to verify it. I have to be responsible for my team members."
Du Qingsha nodded: "Understandable." She then gestured to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye stepped forward and gently pressed a palm against the young man’s palm.
The young man also responded with a palm, and after a brief contact, they both withdrew their hands.
Lu Ye remained calm, but the young man’s expression changed repeatedly as he reevaluated Lu Ye: "Unbelievable, how did you do it?"
"Perhaps it’s due to my special physique," Lu Ye repeated the explanation he had previously given Du Qingsha.
It was unclear whether the young man believed it, but the fact was undeniable, and Lu Ye’s unexpected strength was certainly beneficial for the upcoming operation. He nodded and said, "I’m Chang Yu, captain of Team A-6, and these are my team members."
He introduced the other three members, and Lu Ye nodded slightly.
"Let’s discuss the plan, shall we? Also, what’s the situation on the prey’s side?" Du Qingsha asked.
Chang Yu immediately explained the situation in detail, then began discussing the hunting plan with Du Qingsha.
Lu Ye listened on the side. It was clear that the squads from the hunting camp were experienced in coordinating to hunt 6th Dao powerhouses. Although the 6th Dao was much stronger than the 5th Dao, with proper coordination between two teams, it was possible to succeed without taking on too much risk.
The two captains had done this before, and they quickly came to an agreement.
Originally, in Chang Yu’s plan, he and Du Qingsha were undoubtedly the main force, responsible for diverting the efforts of that 6th Dao expert, while the rest of the squad needed to use their tactics to wear down the enemy’s Dao force. Once the right opportunity was found, the two of them, as 5th Dao cultivators, would attack and kill the opponent.
But now with the addition of Lu Ye, another 5th Dao, the risk was significantly reduced.
After listening for a while, Lu Ye proactively said, "Captain Chang, actually, I have an idea."
Chang Yu looked up at him and smiled, "Brother Lu, feel free to share your idea." As a fellow 5th Dao, he undoubtedly placed Lu Ye on an equal footing with himself.
"To be honest, my cultivation system is somewhat different from yours. I have quite a bit of expertise in Blood Technique," Lu Ye said slowly.
With his explanation and demonstration, both Chang Yu and Du Qingsha couldn’t help but brighten up. If the previous plan had a sixty percent chance of successfully killing the enemy, then following Lu Ye’s plan would have at least an eighty percent chance, and the risk would be much lower.
There were naturally no objections!
A few hours later, Lu Ye moved swiftly in one direction.
According to the information provided by Chang Yu, that 6th Dao expert was active in an area ahead.
Sure enough, only a moment later, Lu Ye noticed a fierce battle sound coming from afar. He hurried over and saw a chaotic battlefield, where an extraordinarily tall figure was standing, exuding a strong aura of blood. In one hand, he was holding a corpse, rummaging through it, and soon pulled out a dimly golden glowing bone.
Lu Ye’s eyes lit up at the sight.
Comparing it to the characteristics provided by Chang Yu, this tall Star Abyss outsider was their target this time.
He had obviously had a battle with another Star Abyss outsider, but the other was no match and was killed. Judging from the golden glow on the Dao Bone he obtained, a significant amount of Dao force clearly still remained within!
Lu Ye was originally planning to quietly approach and then strike, but seeing this fat Dao Bone, he couldn’t hold back. Instantly urging his mana, he pounced towards the opponent.
"Truly courageous!" At Team A-6’s hiding place, Chang Yu’s eyelid twitched. As a fellow 5th Dao, he would never dare to do such a thing because the risk was too great.
On the other side, Du Qingsha couldn’t help but worry. After all, Lu Ye was her team member, and recently, working together with Lu Ye to kill enemies had yielded far more results than before. If anything happened to Lu Ye, she would be heartbroken.
The 6th Dao outsider, who had just retrieved the Dao Bone, abruptly raised his head to look at Lu Ye at the moment Lu Ye took action, then roared and proactively charged.
The distance between them closed rapidly.
A blood light suddenly blossomed on Lu Ye, then transformed into a Blood Sea, enveloping the vast stellar space. The two figures disappeared in an instant.
"Take action!" The shouts of Chang Yu and Du Qingsha rang out almost simultaneously, and the two teams, seven figures riding seven suits of cover armor, rushed into the Blood Sea in a flash.
Once inside the Blood Sea, Chang Yu was secretly astonished. He had also fought experts from the Blood Race before, knowing that once caught in the Blood Sea, numerous actions become difficult. In contrast, the Blood Race could move freely within it.
The Blood Sea he was in now surpassed even the strongest Blood Race experts he had encountered before.
He couldn’t comprehend how Lu Ye cultivated such Blood Techniques.
No time to think deeply, because almost the moment he rushed into the Blood Sea, a trace of mystical guidance descended, allowing him to clearly perceive the exact location of that 6th Dao expert, and this guidance kept changing as the enemy’s position changed.
The surrounding density didn’t hinder him in the slightest!
He was delighted, immediately realizing that this was Lu Ye assisting him, and in such a battlefield, such assistance could be tremendously beneficial.
Without hesitation, he directly maneuvered his cover armor towards the enemy, and so did Du Qingsha.
As for the remaining team members, each activated distant attack methods.
When facing a 6th Dao expert, two captain-level 5th Dao cultivators had some entangling power, but those below the 5th Dao dared not get close.
The huge Blood Sea was instantly in turmoil.
The 6th Dao expert trapped in the Blood Sea also realized things were amiss, immediately urging Dao force to protect his body, then charged straightforwardly in one direction, intending to break out of the Blood Sea’s encirclement.
How could Lu Ye let him have his way? Under his control, the Blood Sea moved at the same speed, ensuring the enemy could never escape.
But moments later, he sensed something was wrong.
The intensity of the confrontation caused the Blood Sea to show signs of strain and might collapse at any moment.
Helplessly, he had to explode a drop of treasure blood into the Blood Sea, and the turbulent Blood Sea immediately stabilized somewhat.
It must be a quick battle!
Not to mention the Blood Sea couldn’t withstand too much prolonged impact, Du Qingsha and Chang Yu, every close-range engagement carried enormous risks. Even a slight error might lead to disaster.
Upon this thought, Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed it against the Boulder Mountain Saber, a slight vibration in his Dao force within, instantly disappearing six strands.
