Sage of Humanity

Chapter 2170 - 2168: What Makes You So Arrogant?

From a distance, a dead star appeared dark red, and Lu Ye was hiding inside it.

And not far from where he was hiding, about several hundred miles away, three figures quietly lurked—one from the Insect Race and two from the Blood Race.

The three figures remained motionless and had no aura at all; they had clearly activated a very advanced Concealment Technique.

However, suddenly a strange sound came from the side, and all three were startled, turning their heads in alarm, only to find with changing expressions that the target they were monitoring, who should have been several hundred miles away, appeared inexplicably nearby.

"Run!" the insect exclaimed and immediately fled forward. Under orders from the Insect Matriarch, he knew how formidable this human was, someone he couldn't possibly contend with.

The other two from the Blood Race also used the Blood Escape Technique, fleeing in different directions.

Yet, as the light of a knife flashed, the two from the Blood Race instantly fell to the ground, blood streaming, and the first to escape among the insects was frozen in place.

A long knife suddenly rested against his neck, sending chills through his body.

"Were you monitoring me?" Lu Ye asked with a frown.

For days, he had a strange feeling that no matter where he went, there seemed to be people from the Insect and Blood Races secretly watching him.

So he had deliberately come here, leaving a Treasure Blood Avatar as bait at the hiding place, while he quietly searched around.

Sure enough, he made a discovery.

But he couldn't quite understand why he was being monitored.

He had only been on the battlefield for over a month and was very cautious in battles against the Insect Race, avoiding exposing too much strength. He shouldn't have drawn the Insect Matriarch's attention.

The only time he unleashed his full power was a few days ago when he killed a Blood Race member with a Dao artifact, but no insects were nearby at that time.

Hearing his question, the insect closed his eyes and did not answer.

Lu Ye sighed, knowing he couldn't get any useful intel from the insect. If possible, he would prefer to leave one of the Blood Race members alive, but since the Blood Race excelled at the Blood Escape Technique, it would be hard to catch them once they escaped.

He wanted to try a little more, but the insect suddenly let out a low shout and turned to attack.

Having no choice, Lu Ye could only strike and kill the insect.

After collecting the Dao Bone, Lu Ye quickly left the dead star, fleeing into the distance.

At the Governor's Residence on the Blue Water Battle Planet, a tall and valiant figure stood, listening to reports from the cultivators under his command, his brows furrowed: "You mean the Insect and Blood Races have been maneuvering forces on a large scale?"

A cultivator below, with fist cupped in salute, replied: "Yes, according to intel from various sources, many cultivators from the Insect and Blood Races are gathering at a certain location."

In the colorful stellar space, message transmission was quite convenient, and both sides, enemies and allies, prioritized intel gathering. Any abnormal movements were quickly detected.

Due to the Insect Matriarch's uniqueness, the Insect and Blood Races always had a slight edge in message transmission and reconnaissance.

"Which location? Show me." As the governor of the Blue Water Battle Planet, Zi Ying was always conscientious and would never overlook such intel. Vaguely sensing that such enemy troop movements were not a good sign.

The cultivator, from the reconnaissance camp, specialized in gathering various intel and reporting to Zi Ying. Hearing this, he took out his stellar space map, infused it with Mana, and instantly, a virtual image emerged before them—a projection of the stellar space map.

He made some adjustments, displaying the combat zone near the Blue Water Battle Planet and pointed to a location: "Right here!"

Zi Ying, with sharp eyes, looked at it, and upon clear identification, the corresponding stellar space location surfaced in his mind: "This is a dead star!"

As the governor of this battle zone for hundreds of years, Zi Ying knew the terrain like the back of his hand.

"Yes!"

Zi Ying frowned: "A dead star with no value, why would those two races bother surrounding it?" After thinking, he asked: "In recent years, has there been anything unusual about this dead star?"

The reconnaissance camp responded: "No unusual activity."

Zi Ying pondered: "The dead star itself holds no value, so those two races must have a reason for their actions. Is there anyone of ours near that dead star?"

"There were, but with the Insect and Blood Races' encirclement, no one dares to linger and have withdrawn."

Zi Ying remained silent. Without his own men there, intel couldn't be gathered.

If possible, he would personally check it out, but as the governor of the Blue Water Battle Planet, he couldn't leave.

The Insect Race scouts were everywhere; once news of her departure spread, the opposing Dao Fusion forces wouldn't miss the opportunity, potentially resulting in the loss of the Blue Water Battle Planet and the whole battle zone falling into enemy hands.

"Find a way to gather intel from there; report any discoveries immediately."

"Yes!" The reconnaissance left with the order.

"A dead star with no value... is it because of someone?" Zi Ying gazed into the depths of the Void, murmuring, yet who could warrant such a spectacle from the Insect and Blood Races?

Even though she dealt with these two races for so many years, she couldn't understand it at this moment.

Beyond the dead star, just after Lu Ye darted out, he saw a vast Blood Sea, roiling and surging, filled with mixed auras, clearly hiding many cultivators.

In the past, when encountering such good things, Lu Ye would definitely welcome them with joy, knowing well that these were spoils of war, and he didn't know how much Dao force he could refine.

But at this moment, he had a vague sense of crisis, being watched for no reason, and there was a Blood Sea here, clearly intended to block him.

The matter of him bursting out to kill that Blood Race member was probably exposed! He immediately started guessing, otherwise, how could an entrant like him attract so many enemies?

This affair is quite troublesome...

Yet recalling that confrontation, there were no others nearby, so why would it be exposed?

Not proceeding forward, Lu Ye immediately changed direction and swept to the side.

Yet soon he discovered that there was also a Blood Sea blocking the way in this direction.

Looking towards other directions, indeed, there were traces of figures coming and going.

He was surrounded...

In that case, there was no choice but to fight his way out, he wasn't afraid of ordinary entrants; as long as there weren't too many focused attacks on him in a short time, he wouldn't be in great danger.

What he's worried about is whether the Insect and Blood Races would send a Dao Fusion.

Rationally speaking, with the Insect and Blood Races making such a big arrangement, surely they wouldn't be stingy about dispatching a Dao Fusion to deal with him.

A tree that stands out in the forest attracts the wind.

As the thought of killing arose, he suddenly felt a Mental Consciousness attack him from afar, locking onto him.

Lu Ye immediately turned his head and saw a sturdy figure rapidly charging towards him.

The one coming was an Insect Race member, with cold, icy eyes, staring at him with a disdainful expression, having a somewhat superior attitude.

Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, was a Dao Fusion really coming to kill him?

But if the opponent really dispatched a Dao Fusion, his side should have a way to respond.

Is this guy really a Dao Fusion?

Without truly fighting, Lu Ye couldn't judge, he could only be cautious, immediately escaping downwards, landing on that dead star.

Combat in stellar space attracted too much attention and was inconvenient.

Moreover, to probe the opponent, his true self certainly couldn't show up; he could only use the Talent Tree Avatar, only by falling into the dead star and using some concealment could he manage.

"Trying to run?" the Insect Race coldly snorted. As one of the top entrants from the Insect side, he wouldn't easily attack ordinarily, always cultivating in the insect hive, regarding the Dao Bone needed for cultivation, naturally, he wouldn't hunt it personally as the Insect Matriarch would allocate it.

This time he came because of Lu Ye, as the Insect Matriarch had ordered to kill this human race at all costs, the opponent seemed to have an extraordinarily powerful Dao artifact, such a person couldn't be allowed to be active on the battlefield.

He didn't mind the strength of the Dao artifact alone, because in this Banlan, regarding Dao artifacts, the one on him was most top-notch.

In pursuit, he entered the dead star, like a thunderbolt, creating a huge pit on the ground with a thunderous roar, the impact rippled outwards, the escaping Lu Ye got caught unexpectedly and flipped several times, covered in dust.

Just as he got his footing, the Insect Race arrived at his front, delivering a fierce punch.

Lu Ye's expression changed, hastily crossing his arms forward to block.

With this punch, Lu Ye couldn't help but slide back, deep marks forming underfoot, while the Insect Race showed an astonished expression, for this strike didn't harm the human race as intended...

He was full of disbelief because those few times he attacked in recent years, none of his full strikes had been blocked by an enemy.

Yet this human race managed to block!

"Not a Dao Fusion..." Lu Ye halted, calmly observing the nearby Insect Race, exerting force with his feet; the ground cracked open as he launched forward, mirroring a punch while shouting, "Then what are you so arrogant about?"

This guy coming menacingly, Lu Ye initially thought a Dao Fusion was here to kill him, scared him enough to use the chaos to quickly form a Talent Tree Avatar to probe.

Only after confrontation did Lu Ye realize his mistake.

But he had to admit, this Insect Race's strength was abnormally high; through that moment of contact, the Dao force this guy could harness wasn't twenty, but close.

He had a Dao artifact! And a high-quality one!

Lu Ye's mind flashed this idea, his gaze roving over the Insect Race, yet he couldn't find traces of a Dao artifact.

Since entering this Banlan stellar space, strange things were happening more and more.

With Lu Ye's punch, the Insect Race flew backward in shock, never expecting the day he'd be knocked back by an entrant.

Lu Ye could detect his realm, how could he not detect Lu Ye's realm?

Precisely because of this, he was somewhat unable to comprehend, the Dao artifact on him was already top-tier, boosting his power by ten Paths, meaning with the Dao artifact he could exert nineteen Paths.

But the strength of the human race's recent strike definitely exceeded twenty Paths!
