Chapter 243: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole

cautious, Lu Ye's sword strike would have caught him without even a step back.Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!This step brought him face to face with death.The long knife...According to Hao Ren and his sister, important places like the QIngtian Sect's mine would definitely be guarded by cultivators of the Ninth Layer, and there wouldn't be just one or two, probably around three or four. This is because the mine range is quite large and a single Ninth Layer cultivator wouldn't be enough to guard it all.

But at this moment, some strange patterns that Lu Ye had seen on the Blue Feather Butterfly appeared on Hao Ren's neck. It seemed that his speed was also due to activating some secret techniques.

His face was slightly pale, his hair disheveled.

Chong Lu Ye slightly nodded. Hao Ren walked to the agreed-upon location, and his figure suddenly vanished.

He had just left when two figures riding flying magical artifacts appeared in front of Lu Ye, a beam of light shot straight towards him, it was the glow of a magic weapon.

Lu Ye raised his eyes and glanced at the opponent. He felt that this fellow's weapon wasn't as powerful as his own, and the light on his body wasn't very bright either. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of spirit pills. This ninth-layer cultivator was far inferior to Yuan Guang.

The cultivator who hadn't made a move suddenly spoke. "

" "That's not the ghost cultivator!"

The gleam of the weapon's light shifted slightly, brushing past Lu Ye's cheek and whipping past with a gust of wind that stung his face. From start to finish, Lu Ye didn't move at all, as if he had been frightened out of his wits.

Actually, Lu Ye was confident he could dodge or block this attack, so he didn't make any extra moves.

The person who attacked Lu Ye should be a martial cultivator, because they were standing on a sword.

Cultivators can fly using magical artifacts. They can choose specialized flying artifacts or their own killing weapons, which are different from each other.

A specialized flying vehicle offers a more comfortable flying experience because it has more space, faster speed, and smoother flight. However, it consumes more energy comparatively.

Just like this soldier uses their weapon to fly, it is also possible. However, the experience isn't as good as flying with a magic artifact. The advantage is that it saves spiritual energy.

Besides, some weapons used for combat are not very suitable for flying. Swords and blades are still acceptable. Riding on a sword or flying with a blade is at least somewhat dashing. But if you're using a mace yourself, the stance of flying with that weapon is almost embarrassing to watch.

Whether to choose a specialized flying mount or rely on personal weaponry ultimately depends on one's financial resources.

This is similar to how cultivators at the seventh level choose their weapons. Some cultivators' spiritual artifacts can be used for close combat or long-range attacks.

Cultivating requires a significant financial outlay. The expenses include the spiritual pills consumed daily and the spirit stones used for cultivation.

Even when cultivation is low, it's still necessary to buy some talismans for protection.

When one reaches the seventh level of cultivation, many cultivators need to purchase protective artifacts.

Once you reach the eighth realm, you will need to purchase a flying artifact.

Even after reaching the Ninth Layer, you're still going to buy Heavenly Rank martial arts...

That's why cultivators at the Lingxi Realm level generally have a hard time, and it's difficult for them to accumulate wealth most of the time.

Specialized flying vehicles are not cheap, costing at least two or three hundred spirit stones. The better the flying vehicle, the higher the price, with some costing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

Although Li Ye's flying weapon hasn't reached the stage of flight yet, he still has a certain understanding of these things.

Seeing that the cultivator who flew with a sword was so poor, he immediately lost interest in him. Even if he killed this man, there wouldn't be much good stuff in his storage bag.

That cultivator's foot was resting on a rather exquisite small boat, probably worth something.

Seeing no reply, the soldier grew impatient and asked again, "Which side are you on"

< < Still no reply.

"Then you can die!" The soldier cultivator snorted coldly. This kind of cultivator who couldn't tell which camp they belonged to was definitely from the enemy side, so he decisively prepared to make a move.

As he said this, the spiritual weapon in his hand trembled slightly, and a murderous aura surged.

Lu Ye reached into his storage pouch and pulled out an object, tossing it to the ground.

For a poor cultivator who could only fly with a sword, a flying artifact was undoubtedly very attractive, especially since it was thrown by a seventh-layer cultivator. In the eyes of cultivators, this thing was undoubtedly the other party's life money.

This thing belongs to Yuang Guang. After Lu Ye killed him, he opened his storage pouch and it became his loot. It's just the right time to use it now.

The soldier, with lightning speed, snatched the flying apparatus from the air. Taking a closer look, he realized it looked strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Of course, he's familiar with Yuan Guang. They are both at the ninth level of cultivation and both cultivators from Qitian Zong. It's certain they have some connection. He had seen Yuan Guang's flying spirit weapon before and even flew on it together with Yuan Guang.

Below, spiritual energy surged. Two streams of light shot towards him at incredible speeds, each carrying lethal intent. As they intersected, the two streams of light seemed to transform into a pair of scissors...

Fa Xiu was cautious, even though his strength surpassed Lu Ye. He hovered thirty feet away, just in case this Qi Layer 7 suddenly launched a surprise attack with his weapon. He had been taken advantage of this way before.

After a brief startle, Fa Xiu's composure returned. His usual caution had paid off; he was indeed quite steady.

This

Seeing this, Lu Ye felt even more strongly that he needed to find a way to construct spirit patterns on his weapon. Without the enhancement of sharp spirit patterns, the power of the weapon was simply not enough.

Na Fa Xiu's spiritual barrier is indeed good, but if Lu Ye goes with his sword, with the sharp Pianshan Blade, he only needs three or five strikes to break it. If he enhances it with two sharp edges, perhaps only one or two strikes would be enough.

He complained inwardly like this, unaware that the cultivator was terrified in his heart. It wasn't just because he was falling from mid-air, but mainly because he saw a seventh-layer artifact and two attacking him. Under the attack of the other party's artifact, his own spiritual power was flowing away like a floodbreak.

With the impact of his weapon, he steadied himself and hastily cast a flight technique.

This technique allows a person to levitate in the air for a short period. Uncle Dong once demonstrated it in front of Lu Ye, but was stunned by a fire quail strike from Lu Ye.

Generally, cultivators don't use weapons to fight enemies. It's not that they can't, but it's unnecessary. The spells they cast can reach enemies at long distances. When wielding a weapon, they have to split their focus, and the attack range is limited. Therefore, for cultivators, the way of using weapons is like a useless thing.
