drastically compared to before. While his cultivation hadn't increased much since their encounter at Baifeng Mountain, his overall strength had clearly improved.The fourth strike landed on the man's...The lionheart was about to arrive, Lu Ye abruptly rushed over, at this moment he was once again filled with murderous intent, brandishing his sword and leaving.

Lu Ye was no stranger to the battle platform,

there were platforms for combat in the Nine States. It was a type of exotic treasure.

>>>

After the JiuZhou Dou Zhan Tai was activated, it could no longer provide any assistance to its holder. However, the true Dou Zhan Tai is not like that. Hu Xue is the master of the Dou Zhan Tai, and she has a great degree of control over this artifact. With it, she can fight beyond her own realm!

Another biggest difference is that once a low-quality product from Kyushu is activated, both parties engaged in the battle can only be freed unless someone dies. This is not the case with a real fighting platform.

Lu Ye glared at Hu Xue, roaring, "Untie me!"

As the master of the Battle Stage, Hu Xue could be dismissed proactively. With the Lionheart approaching, Lu Ye had no time to waste here, especially against an enemy related to Yuan Du, a demon race.

She's not easy to fight and not worth killing. Entangling with her is just a waste of time.

"Delusional!" Hu Xue gritted her teeth, the enchanting and alluring expression on her face replaced by ferocity. She had previously pleaded with Yuandan to kill Lu Ye, that was a strategic retreat because she knew Yuandan would never agree to such a thing. But she never expected that she would have the opportunity to personally kill her enemy.

She also possesses the cultivation of a late-stage Yue Yao. With the blessing of the Battle Platform, she is confident that she is no worse than any other Yue Yao. Even if Lionheart were here, she could spar with him!

Seeing Lu Ye, she immediately realized this was a chance for revenge. That's why she decisively brought out the battle platform, catching Lu Ye off guard.

This not only helps rescue the Lionheart, but also saves the day. It's a win-win situation.

During their conversation, Hu Xue's body was enveloped in a swirling aura of demonic energy. Unforeseen power descended from the heavens.

The formation is included within the Dou Zhantai and isn't a power Hu Xue possesses inherently. However, as the master of the Dou Zhantai, she can summon its might at any time.

In the blink of an eye, the formation was complete, trapping Lu Ye within a prison that spanned dozens of miles.

Immediately following, more brilliant lines of light flashed within the cage, and one grand formation after another quickly took shape.

Even the so-called number one under the sun is no more than this!

The laughter died abruptly as Hu Xue was startled to discover a crack had suddenly appeared on the wall of the encirclement!

Since she was trapped within the formation, a terrifyingly powerful aura suddenly exploded outwards. However, this burst of energy did not come from her activating the formation!

Click, click...

A cacophony of sound reverberated, and the cracks in the besieged walls suddenly multiplied, spreading in all directions.

"How is this possible" Hu Xue was dumbfounded. As the master of the Douzhantai, she could clearly sense the terrifying power that had suddenly erupted—it was beyond her comprehension.

To my astonishment, my divine consciousness surged. I desperately tried to stabilize the crumbling barrier; as long as it held, there would be a chance for repair.

But she had no chance now. With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered completely. The encircling formation, which she had placed so much hope in, didn't even last three breaths before collapsing. The moment the formation broke, the immense power she had channeled into it surged outwards in all directions.

At the same time, a Xuanwu phantom suddenly surged out from that raging energy, rushing straight towards her.

Hu Xue was dumbfounded. She looked around and saw one, two, three... a total of seven Lu Ye leaves, forming a Xuanwu Grand Formation. Each leaf was lifelike, and each one emanated the aura of a mid-stage Yue Yao cultivator.

But it didn't work at all.

She may have the battle platform to bolster her, but the combined power of Lu Ye's main body and his bloodline avatar far surpasses Yue Yao's capabilities.

In a blink of an eye, the Xuanwu Grand Formation had approached. The illusory figure of Xuanwu raised a palm and slammed it down heavily.

A scream pierced the air, and Hu Xue was thrown backward, blood gushing from her mouth. For a moment, she thought she was done for!

Her delicate frame collided with a meteor, leaving her in utter disarray. Before she could even rise, a chilling blade pressed against her slender, fair neck.

Raising his eyes, Lu Ye's cold face loomed over him. "Untie!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If the other party holds back, it means they are apprehensive. What they are apprehensive about is none other than Yuan Du!

Amidst the provocation, various thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning. Calculating the time, Lionheart should not have reached Wanxiang Island yet. Therefore, no matter what, she couldn't unlock the Battle Platform and free Lu Ye. No matter what, she had to buy some time!cumstances. This is because it could very well affect their ability to perform at their peak.Every sword-wielder among the top 100 cultivators would strive to maintain their peak condition.Lu Ye just...
