Sage of Humanity

Madam Qingyu wasn't worried about being killed by Mann Shan herself, because Mann Shan had been eyeing her for not just a day or two. Though the human race was indeed weak in Star Abyss, female cultivators of the human race were cherished by many factions.

Especially female cultivators with her kind of beauty, they were rumored to be considered rare resources in many places, used for transactions.

With this thought passing her mind, Qingyu pulled out a stiff smile once more: "Fellow Daoist, you've truly advanced to Dao Fusion. Congratulations are in order. We Qingyu are willing to submit to you, from now on, we'll look to you for guidance!"

Surviving with a group in Star Abyss for hundreds of years, though she was a woman, she did not lack the decisiveness needed in critical moments.

No matter how, today's situation could not be resolved peacefully. Aside from submission, there was only a fight to the death. In a real fight to the death, face to face with Dao Fusion, how many of them could survive?

She regretted, feeling she hadn't been careful enough, the situation painstakingly maintained for hundreds of years was now crumbling.

But with others advancing to Dao Fusion, it was really unpredictable.

Behind Qingyu, the expressions of the human race were all humiliated, yet they could only forcefully endure.

"Good." Mann Shan was undoubtedly pleased with Qingyu's attitude and then changed the subject, "Then offer twenty Dao Bones as compensation for your earlier offense!"

Qingyu's face changed drastically, urgently saying, "Fellow Daoist!"

Twenty Dao Bones weren't too many, but at this time, where would she get twenty Dao Bones to offer Mann Shan? So Mann Shan's intention was clear; these Dao Bones were to be taken from Qingyu's people.

Qingyu never expected that after conceding so much, Mann Shan still wouldn't let them go.

The so-called price was just a pretense. Even if she hadn't tried to test just now, Mann Shan wouldn't have accepted all of them. To Dao Fusion, those 4th-5th Dao cultivators were of little use and were better off dead to obtain the bones.

"You offer them yourself, or I'll take them myself!" Mann Shan was unmoved, just looking at Qingyu indifferently.

As these words fell, the Dragon Spine cultivators, led by the big demon, stepped forward a few paces, in a threatening posture.

Qingyu lowered her head: "Fellow Daoist, please wait, allow us to discuss."

"Ten breaths!"

Qingyu turned around, scanning the people who had followed her for years, eyes full of guilt.

Yhing Hu grinned: "Madam, no need to blame yourself. When the stellar space shattered years ago, I was supposed to die. If it weren't for Madam's shelter, how could I have lived these years? Dying here today is still a profit."

Chen Wu also said: "Yes, Madam's kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain. If Madam needs, what's the harm in us dying?"

Others didn't speak, but each had a determined look. Everyone here more or less owed Qingyu a favor.

Over the years, Qingyu had been just and impartial in her leadership, something everyone had witnessed.

"I am deeply sorry to all of you." Qingyu's eyes were full of bitterness.

The ten breaths quickly passed, and Mann Shan's gaze became dangerous.

The bitterness in Qingyu's eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by determination, and she shouted: "Scatter and escape!"

She turned and lunged towards Mann Shan's side, clearly intending to stall Mann Shan. She knew the great difference in strength between herself and Mann Shan, but she was the strongest on her side, even if there was no hope, she had to try.

She never had the thought of offering twenty Dao Bones to Mann Shan. If Mann Shan had simply wanted her to submit, she could have accepted that, even if it meant suffering some humiliation in the future, but to offer Dao Bones was absolutely impossible.

She'd rather die fighting here.

It was unrealistic for everyone to escape at once; now, she only hoped that even one might manage to escape.

However, what she didn't expect was that just as she made her move, everyone under Qingyu's command rushed forward at once, Yhing Hu simultaneously shouted: "Madam, run!"

Over twenty people, varying in strength, but each showed determination, prepared to face death.

Qingyu's expression turned to astonishment, and then relief, suddenly feeling that all these years of effort had been worth it. She was surrounded by a group of brothers and sisters willing to lay down their lives for her. Though not relatives, they were closer than family.

"Seeking death!" Mann Shan snorted coldly and gestured: "Except for the female cultivator, kill all the others!"

The cultivators around him immediately charged forward.

Not only that, but the Dragon Spine cultivators who had been hovering around also swooped down.

A great battle was imminent.

The Dragon Spine's big demon leader charged straight toward Lu Ye. He had noticed earlier that this human had been keeping his eyes closed, not knowing what he was up to.

The anger of being subdued by Mann Shan had no place to vent. He was unwilling to waste his Dao force fighting Qingyu, so he fixated on Lu Ye, preparing to vent his frustration on him.

Lu Ye's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!

A flash of bloodlight spread from him as the center, instantly transforming into a sea of blood, engulfing all around.

"Blood Race?" The Dragon Spine big demon was momentarily stunned.

Qingyu's group were all humans, so how did a Blood Race suddenly appear?

The thick, churning sea of blood blinded his vision, and the Dragon Spine big demon instantly lost sight of Lu Ye, but he didn't change his attack course and continued to charge downward.

Vaguely, a figure rushed from the front. Judging by the form, it was the Blood Race, though he found it puzzling that for some reason, this Blood Race's clothes were all gone.

Why take off clothes to fight? He couldn't quite figure it out.

At the moment of collision between their figures, the Dragon Spine big demon's eyes widened, and his whole body exploded.

In the final instant of his sinking consciousness, only one question surged in his mind: How am I, at the ninth Dao, so fragile?

The suddenly erupting Blood Sea not only caught the Dragon Spine people off guard but also left Qing Yu and the others at a loss, instinctively thinking it was the cultivator from Dragon Spine who had done something, because among them there was no Blood Race, only Dragon Spine had one, even though predominantly Demon Race, there were also other races of cultivators.

This Blood Sea probably was unleashed by a cultivator from Dragon Spine.

Suddenly losing their target, Qing Yu and the others were in a dilemma.

"Retreat!" At the moment when Qing Yu was at a loss, a voice reached her ears, followed by Lu Ye's figure flashing past in front of her.

"You..." Qing Yu reached out to grab, but caught empty air, watching Lu Ye dash towards Mann Shan's position.

Dazed in her heart, where did this guy get such courage?

But soon, she heard from behind the Blood Sea, piercing screams echoing one after another, with powerful life forces continuously being extinguished.

Qing Yu turned her head sharply, completely unaware of what was happening.

An earth-shaking roar suddenly came from the front!

A figure approached, it was Yhing Hu, speaking uncertainly, "Madam, it's Mann Shan's voice, is he... injured?"

That roar was filled with boundless pain, clearly due to an injury, and apparently not an ordinary wound.

With an incredible look, Mann Shan had already proved himself to have entered Dao Fusion, who here could injure him?

While speaking, from the depths of the Blood Sea in front, intense fighting noises erupted again, the sweeping Dao force shockwaves were extremely fierce, evidently beyond the level of beginner level confrontation; it was an encounter between two Dao Fusions!

Qing Yu's expression changed several times, and Lu Ye's face involuntarily floated into her mind, if there was a variable in this journey, it was only him!

Just now, it was him who had rushed towards Mann Shan.

But... how could a cultivator who had just entered Star Abyss possess such powerful strength?

Unable to comprehend, but she knew this was an opportunity, she immediately ordered, "Retreat for now, find a chance to kill out!"

Originally thinking it was a dead-end, yet unexpectedly finding a chance for survival, claiming not to be delighted would be false, but more so was confusion.

At this moment, Lu Ye himself had already clashed with Mann Shan several times.

Sharpening his saber in a hurry, he successfully polished out the eighth Dao Bone, allowing him to wield the power of seventeen Dao, under overload, it's eighteen Dao!

Just now, taking advantage of the Blood Sea's concealment, he reached Mann Shan's front, almost taking Mann Shan's life in one strike.

Because this guy was too complacent, he didn't put Lu Ye in his eyes, when the Boulder Mountain Saber descended, Mann Shan merely raised an arm for defense, estimating he had mobilized about the power of ten Dao.

Not surprising Mann Shan, who could have thought among Qing Yu's group, an anomaly like Lu Ye would exist? The power of ten Dao was invincible under Dao Fusion.

He thought he could effortlessly block Lu Ye's attack.

Who would have known this strike directly severed one of his arms, such an injury, although not critical for a Dao Fusion, was definitely unpleasant.

If he hadn't hurriedly mobilized more Dao power, just this one strike, Lu Ye could have torn him apart!

Even so, Mann Shan's chest center line at this moment was also dripping with blood.

At this moment, within the Blood Sea, he raised his only remaining arm, no longer daring to hold back, frantically urging Dao power to compete with Lu Ye.

Yet Lu Ye's figure leapt back and forth in the Blood Sea, slippery like an eel, in the few collisions, he couldn't do anything to Lu Ye.

In his heart, anger burned like fire, yet filled with bewilderment.

Having lived in Star Abyss for so many years, he had never seen a freak like Lu Ye.

Yes, a freak.

He had only been in Dao Fusion for half a year at most, almost the worst Dao Fusion one could have, any Dao Fusion with a bit of accumulation could defeat him, not to mention he's currently injured.

He had thought Lu Ye was a Dao Fuser, amidst the anger even more was fear.

But gradually, he found Lu Ye wasn't a Dao Fuser at all, because from those few collisions, the Dao power Lu Ye mobilized wasn't cohesive, giving a feeling of being scattered.

This was the hallmark of beginner level!

But how could there be such a strong beginner level in this world? According to his judgment, this beginner level wielded Dao power of seventeen or eighteen Dao!

This was completely illogical.

At the beginner level, nine Dao was the limit, beyond that was Dao Fusion, where could there be seventeen or eighteen Dao, unheard of.

Compared to Mann Shan's bewilderment, Lu Ye at this moment was instead mentally active.

His original plan was actually very simple, just to protect Qing Yu's group, although they met by chance, with no deep ties, Qing Yu's group left a good impression on him, despite being from different stellar spaces, they were of the same human race, if he could assist, he would.

So he initially only planned to block Mann Shan, to create an escape opportunity for Qing Yu and others, nothing more.
