Sage of Humanity
Chapter 992 - 990: The Dragon Throne’s Ferocious Might

Chen Lie didn't know what exactly Lu Ye was holding, but he sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from that orb-like object.

As he spoke, he had already lunged at Lu Ye, spirit force surging around him, and threw a powerful punch.

Though he was old, as a physique cultivator, his strength was not to be underestimated. He was confident that Lu Yiye, a mere True Lake Level 5 realm, could not possibly withstand such an attack.

While launching his punch, his other hand reached for the orb, intending to seize it.

A slash of blade light came down from above, and Chen Lie drove his blood Qi and spirit force to protect himself, neither dodging nor evading.

It wasn't until the blade struck that Chen Lie realized something was wrong. A formidable force surged from the front, freezing his body and shattering the protective aura of spirit force and blood Qi. As pain hit him, he was already being thrown backward.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another Chen family elder who charged with him having his head fly high into the air.

That was the Seventh Elder, who had a cultivation of True Lake Level 7!

At the True Lake realm, a Level 7 was no weakling, yet he couldn't even withstand a single slash from Lu Yiye. Moreover, that slash had repelled him first before cutting down the Seventh Elder!

A chill crept into his heart, and as a sense of great crisis arose, a crackling sound reached his ears.

Once he steadied himself and looked, he was stunned.

At the entrance of the visitors hall, where Lu Ye had been, there was now a three-zhang tall scarlet figure replacing him, its lines were sleek, and its entire body was sharp and angular, giving off an impression of extreme toughness.

On that scarlet figure, complex and arcane patterns spread from its face, traversed its torso, and extended to its limbs, forming an extremely wild totem.

Two intense red lights shone from the eye sockets of this towering figure, like spectral fires that chilled the heart of anyone who gazed upon them.

A visible wave of air emanated from the feet of the scarlet figure, roaring as it spread outward.

Together with it spread an indescribable sense of oppression.

In this instant, all the cultivators of the Chen family were captivated, staring blankly.

In the back of the crowd, Chen Tianchui, who was hiding in the shadows, was also dumbfounded, unable to see clearly when Chen Lie was blown away.

Standing there, he witnessed clearly that in the fierce battle, Lu Yiye suddenly summoned a sphere the size of a baby's fist, which immediately split into countless tiny fragments that attached to him. In the blink of an eye, the small figure transformed into a three-zhang tall monstrous thing.

What is this? Even Chen Tianchui, as the Clan Leader of a 6th grade family and knowledgeable with a cultivation of True Lake Level 9, couldn't help but be shocked beyond comprehension by this scene.

Cover armor?

No one ever heard that Lu Yiye had cover armor, and such a cover armor was unheard of.

What made him even more fearful was that Lu Yiye, clad in cover armor, wielded a saber one-zhang-six in length, with a blade resembling bamboo shoots, having a node every foot.

With the saber in hand, an endless menacing aura spread, as if an ancient ferocious beast had been born.

In that instant, all Chen family cultivators couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

"Hoo..." A soft exhale sounded, and a visible stream of air spurted from both sides of the angular cover armor's head, transforming into white mist.

The long saber was held horizontally at his side and lightly swung, as if swatting away mosquitoes.

A faint blade light flickered, and in an instant, the figures of many Chen family cultivators before Lu Ye stiffened, including even a True Lake realm elder!

The next instant, he crouched slightly, pointing the saber tip downward, dragging the blade as he walked through the stiffened Chen family cultivators.

With the sweeping wind, the bodies of these people became rigid. Without exception, all their upper halves slid down, revealing neatly cut lower halves, and blood spurted up to the sky.

Like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

The towering figure of the Dragon Throne, paired with the exaggeratedly shaped Dragon Spine Saber, claimed the life of a Chen family cultivator with each flicker of blade light.

Everywhere he passed, there was a storm of blood and rain.

"Kill him!" A roar came from the back of the crowd.

Only then did the many cultivators of the Chen family snap back to reality, fearlessly charging toward the towering figure. Blade arcs surged, and more people fell constantly, yet the ones who followed showed no fear, stepping over the blood and corpses on the ground to rush forward heedlessly.

From afar, the scene was both tragic and heart-wrenching.

Inside the visitors hall, Li Baxian and the four others stared slack-jawed at the sudden change.

Before this, none of them had witnessed the might of the Dragon Throne firsthand, assuming this trip would end disastrously, little knowing that Lu Ye had such a trump card.

Lu Ye, clad in the Dragon Throne, fought his way out, drawing the attention of ninety percent of the Chen family cultivators, immediately reducing the pressure on their side significantly.

Giant Armor and Xiao Xinghe stood at the entrance of the visitors hall, using their combined sabers to create a barrier, blocking the sporadic and scattered attacks from the Chen family cultivators.

Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan each employed their own tactics, executing the invading enemies one by one, while Lin Yinxiu's figure flickered in and out, but every strike she made was successful. With the strength of the five of them combined, they were temporarily safe from danger.

"Something's wrong!" Li Baxian spoke up, stealing a glance in Lu Ye's direction amid the chaos.

From the start, something felt off. The Chen family's sudden hostility was unexpected by everyone.

Now, there was an even greater sense of incongruity.

By rights, when facing Lu Ye, now wearing the Dragon Throne, even a True Lake Realm cultivator would inevitably feel a tinge of fear.

The so-called morale is like a tiger's momentum at the first blow, declining at the second, and exhausted at the third. The Chen family has already lost so many people, the remaining survivors, whoever they are, must be timid in their hearts.

But the Chen family cultivators seemed not the least bit afraid. Following an order, even an inconspicuous Spirit Stream Realm would dare to madly rush toward Lu Ye, disregarding their own lives. Some even climbed up the tall figure of the Dragon Throne, madly attacking it, making a continuous clattering sound.

Although Lu Ye was killing fast, he couldn't withstand the sheer numbers of the Chen family.

Moments later, the place where the Dragon Throne stood could no longer see that tall and slender figure, as the people of the Chen family had completely flooded over it.

Just as Li Baxian and others were worried about Lu Ye's safety, a light but deep voice suddenly emerged from within the amassed mountain of people.

"Crescent Moon!"

As the words fell, a glimmer of saber light blossomed from within the human mountain.

Followed immediately by a dense flurry of saber lights, like crescent moons slicing out.

The hissing sounds continued nonstop.

The human mountain collapsed, severed limbs and chunks of meat flew all around. The submerged figure of the Dragon Throne reemerged, the scarlet figure now covered in wet blood, appeared even more vividly colored.

Chen Lie's head flew to the front of the visitors hall, rolling right at the feet of the Giant Armor, which stepped on it and crushed it.

Freed, Lu Ye took a step forward and charged toward a certain spot in the crowd, wielding the Dragon Spine Saber, slicing through waves and cutting through, with not a single match for him. All those daring to approach within ten feet of him fell like weeds.

His speed was such that in the dim night, it was impossible to see him clearly, with only two points of crimson gleaming in his eye sockets, trailing two scarlet light trails.

In an instant, he reached in front of a middle-aged man.

The man roared, summoning a large hammer, leapt up mightily, using the momentum of descent, and smashed fiercely downward at Lu Ye's head, this strike was a full burst of the opponent's power and was extremely powerful.

Faced with such a strike, Lu Ye merely raised a hand and caught the descending hammer.

With a boom, the tall figure of the Dragon Throne crouched slightly, knees bending to absorb the impact, firmly clutching the hammer, and forcefully dragging the opponent before him. His other hand, wielding the Dragon Spine Saber, reversed smoothly, with the hilt smashing heavily into the opponent's chest.

With a crack, who knows how many ribs were broken.

The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, his energy instantly withering.

Lu Ye discarded the large hammer, raised a hand to grip his head, lifting him in front of himself, and an icy voice came from beneath the Dragon Throne, "Your Chen family... what are you up to?"

This middle-aged man was the Family Head of the Chen family, Chen Tianchui.

Earlier, he was hiding here giving orders, and Lu Ye had already perceived his location, knowing that this was the last True Lake Realm left in the entire Chen family.

The other True Lake Realm cultivators had either been killed by him or slain by Li Baxian and Xiao Xinghe.

Even the surviving Chen family cultivators were less than thirty percent of before.

Lu Ye didn't kill him because he felt today's events were too strange. The Chen family inexplicably attacking them was one thing, but after the incident, they besieged them altogether.

He thought the Chen family was a pawn placed by the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge to eliminate him taking this opportunity.

But after the battle, he felt that didn't seem right.

Because the Chen family cultivators' actions were too fearless, as if no one considered their own life and death, even with him wearing the Dragon Throne, it only shocked and stunned the Chen family cultivators at first, afterward not posing any threat at all.

Even if the Chen family had moles planted by Ten Thousand Demons, it would only be a portion of them, it couldn't be that the entire Chen family cultivators were from Ten Thousand Demons.

If that were the case, the news would have been leaked long ago.

So Lu Ye couldn't understand why the Chen family dared such audacious actions, did they not know what consequences would follow for ambushing the Law Enforcement Hall squad like this?

Not killing Chen Tianchui naturally was to take him back to Haotian City for a thorough interrogation.

In any case, today's events need to be understood; otherwise, similar attacks might happen next time.

"Not worthy of... the chosen one," Chen Tianchui suddenly spoke.

"What?" Lu Ye asked, but received no response, only hearing a light popping sound from within Chen Tianchui's head, and then Chen Tianchui's neck tilted, losing his breath.

He died just like that!

Lu Ye didn't even know how he died! Because he didn't feel Chen Tianchui activating spirit force at all.

Puff puff puff...

Similar sounds came continuously from beside him.

"Grab a live one!" Lu Ye yelled angrily, turning to grab a nearby Chen family cultivator, but just as he caught him, that person died on the spot.

Bodies fell one after another, the remaining Chen family cultivators all fell to the ground.

Lu Ye was somewhat dumbstruck.

The survivors Li Baxian and others were equally dumbstruck!
