Sage of Humanity-Chapter 510 - 508: This Person is Remarkable

Outside the hunting grounds, a sword light descended, revealing two figures, none other than Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan.

The two, having traveled day and night without delay, had finally reached this place within two days.

They didn't rush in immediately because both were seriously depleted. Although they had never experienced the hunting grounds before, they had heard much about these suddenly famous places and knew that at this time, many would be ambushing at the edges of the hunting grounds, attacking those who entered from the outside to gain kill points.

Finding a hidden spot, they each sat in meditation to recover.

After six hours, they both rose to their feet, exchanged glances, and everything was prepared.

Sharp sword lights began to emerge, swirling around them, with more than fifty streams of light visible.

"Are you ready?"

Li Baxian asked.

Feng Yuechan nodded.

"Let's go!"

As Li Baxian's words fell, the plethora of sword lights converged into a spiraling sword dragon, enclosing both their figures, and with a thunderous crash, it burst into the blood-red light screen.

The sound of the sword buzzed; the sword dragon soared.

The next moment, at the edge of the hunting grounds, cultivators who had concealed their presence and lay in ambush saw a sword dragon charging toward them, its brilliant sword light making the heaven and earth pale, and the terrifying Sword Intent instilling fear in their hearts.

The sword dragon swept across the sky, heading swiftly into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

During this time, none of the cultivators lying in ambush at the edge had dared to interfere.

The newcomer was a sword cultivator; just a glance at the whip-like sword light was enough to tell he was not to be trifled with. Who would dare to intercept, risking drawing the ire of such a formidable opponent?

However, some powerful figures soon realized that the incoming sword cultivator's cultivation wasn't very high, but by the time they thought to interfere, it was too late. The sword light had already vanished miles away, as fast as thunder.

Moments later, in the wilderness, the sword dragon dispersed, the sword light retracted, and Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan landed one after another.

The two quickly surveyed their surroundings to make sure no one was around before relaxing.

"I wonder how my junior brother is doing," Li Baxian said with a worried expression, and then he pressed his hand on the battlefield marking on the back of his hand and began to contact Lu Ye.

He had not contacted Lu Ye earlier to avoid worrying him, but now that they had entered, it was natural to meet up with Lu Ye first.

Although their cultivation levels were not very high, the two of them together were much better off than Lu Ye alone and could barely protect him.

While he was contacting, Feng Yuechan, bored and idle, looked around curiously. It was her first time entering the hunting grounds, and she was intrigued, having heard that the hunting grounds were full of opportunities. Unfortunately, she had never seen this herself, but now she had a chance.

Soon, a blood-red, flag-like Kills Ranking in the sky caught her attention.

Glancing over, Feng Yuechan's beautiful eyes widened in amazement, staring at the top of the Kills Ranking, almost doubting what she saw. But upon closer inspection, there was no mistake.

The name at the top was unmistakably "Lu Yiye," and behind it, the kill points reached as many as one thousand five hundred fifty.

The second place, Xia Liang, had just barely broken a thousand!

"Senior brother…" Feng Yuechan tugged at Li Baxian's clothes.

"Hmm?" Li Baxian, who was contacting Lu Ye, asking for his location, turned his head toward Feng Yuechan upon sensing her movement.

"Look at that," Feng Yuechan pointed upwards.

Li Baxian followed the direction of her finger, and the next moment, his eyes narrowed: "First?"

His initial reaction was that it was impossible for his junior brother to be so formidable. The hunting grounds spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, filled with numerous strong cultivators. Having been in the Cloud River battlefield for only two months, how could Lu Ye possibly hold the first position, and be so far ahead of the second place?

To have over fifteen hundred kill points, how many had he slaughtered?

Could it be that someone shared the same name as his junior brother?

But the name Lu Yiye wasn't very common. Even if there really was someone else with the same name, it was unlikely they'd be in the hunting grounds too. There are no such coincidences in the world.

Was it really his junior brother?

Li Baxian felt somewhat dizzy. He had assumed that Lu Ye would be constantly facing danger in the hunting grounds, walking on thin ice. But if that was indeed his junior brother, then he had completely misjudged the situation before.

To attain so many kill points, his junior brother must have been slaughtering left and right in the hunting grounds, utterly invincible!

Still uncertain, he decided to ask.

"Junior brother, the Lu Yiye at the top of the Kills Ranking, is that you?"

Sitting cross-legged on the teleportation array, Lu Ye was stunned by the question and immediately denied it: "No, how could it be me?"

His best previous ranking had been just around the teens, and though he had killed a Level 6 magic cultivator afterward, so much time had passed that his name should have long fallen off the Kills Ranking.

Since entering the hunting grounds, he had only killed three people in total, garnering five hundred fifty kill points. There was no way that would put him in first place.

"Someone must share your name, Lu Yiye. This person is incredibly powerful, boasting fifteen hundred and fifty kill points," Li Baxian said, filled with emotions. The man who shared the same name as his junior brother must undeniably be of the Level 9, otherwise it wouldn't make sense for him to be so formidable.

Xia Liang, someone he knew, had crossed paths with him on the Spirit Stream battlefield. Originating from the Mad Saber Sect and once among the top ten on the Spirit Stream Ranking, Xia Liang was naturally formidable on the Cloud River battlefield and must be of the Cloud River Level 9 now. This person who shared the same name as his junior brother and could outshine Xia Liang must undoubtedly be even more formidable.

This person truly is extraordinarily powerful!

In the cave, although Lu Ye felt something was off, he didn't think much of it. In his mind, with only five hundred and fifty kill points, it was impossible for him to rank first under any circumstances.

However, what moved and made him feel helpless was that his fourth senior brother had actually come looking for him, evidently concerned about his safety.

Moreover, he hadn't breathed a word about it earlier, only informing him after entering the hunting ground.

Taking out the ten-part map, he verified the location, then informed Li Baxian.

"We are coming to find you, wait for me, junior brother."

Ending the message, Li Baxian, with Feng Yuechan, quickly moved towards Lu Ye's location. The distance from their spot to where Lu Ye was wasn't too far. Ordinarily, traveling by flying sword wouldn't take more than two to four hours, but flaunting such capabilities was naturally unwise in the hunting ground, so their speed was much reduced.

Moving forward.

In the cave, Lu Ye quietly waited.

His fourth senior brother coming to find him was also a good thing. Regardless of whether they joined forces, which would greatly increase their strength, even if they encountered an unbeatable enemy, they could still escape using the teleportation array.

However, when his fourth senior brother had messaged earlier, he used the word "we" indicating someone else was with him, most likely Feng Yuechan.

He wondered about their current strength. Accounting for the time, they had entered the Cloud River battlefield a few months before him, so their strength shouldn't be too bad. Moreover, the two had accumulated over a decade of foundation in the Spirit Stream Realm, their profound depth unmatched historically, definitely capable of defeating higher-level opponents.

After all, historically, there hadn't been talents like them who stayed in the Spirit Stream Realm for over a decade.

Not to mention their kind of talent, even ordinary talents stalling over a decade in the Spirit Stream Realm was a losing proposition. Such a long time was enough for a cultivator to advance to the Cloud River or even the True Lake.

After thinking it over, Lu Ye didn't stay in place but left the cave where he was hiding, found another spot outside, and activated the Concealment Spirit Runes to hide.

With his fourth senior brother hurrying this way, if he continued to stay in the cave and someone entered, bursting his cover, would he go or stay?

If he left, it would delay his meeting with Li Baxian, but if he didn't, he might have to face a battle with the intruder, being problematic either way. So, he decided not to stay inside.

Having concealed himself, remembering what his fourth senior brother had asked earlier, he looked up at the Kills Ranking and frowned.

Indeed, as his fourth senior brother had said, the name Lu Yiye was ranked first on the Kills Ranking!

Was there really someone with the same name as his? This was quite interesting.

His gaze shifted downward, continuing to investigate.

Soon, Lu Ye noticed something was amiss.

Because the cultivator in the last place on the Kills Ranking had five hundred and thirty points!

According to his calculations, he should have five hundred and fifty points, meaning five hundred and fifty points were indeed enough to make it onto the Kills Ranking, likely around the ninetieth place.

But his name wasn't at the ninetieth place at all!

The only Lu Yiye on the entire Kills Ranking was the one at the top.

Had he miscalculated? Didn't he have five hundred and fifty points?

But that didn't seem right. As a Level 3, he had successively killed a Level 5, a Level 7, and a Level 6 cultivator, earning one hundred twenty, two hundred fifty, and one hundred eighty points respectively, correctly adding up to five hundred and fifty points, tied directly to merit, the calculation could not be wrong.

Looking again at the first-place kill points, fifteen hundred and fifty points…

This number was also intriguing, exactly a thousand points more than he had calculated!

Could the person ranked first possibly be himself?

It made no sense, where did those extra one thousand kill points come from?

While puzzled, suddenly, not far away, fluctuations from a battle reached him. Lu Ye immediately refocused, listening intently, hearing faint sounds of sword cries, and looking up, he saw bursts of light on the horizon, apparently powerful magic and spells being unleashed.

He quickly reached out to Li Baxian but got no response.

"Yiyi!" Lu Ye called out lowly, and Yiyi, understanding him instantly, flashed out from Amber and tunneled underground towards the source of the conflict.

Lu Ye also hurried towards that direction.

With no response from his fourth senior brother, it meant he was too occupied to reply. Considering the time, they must be nearby, and with the sounds of sword cries and spells, it unquestionably indicated that one of the parties involved was Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan.

Before long, Lu Ye arrived at the location, and looking up, he saw the fierce sword light and mighty Sword Qi, several figures moving rapidly within a small area, battling heatedly.

Of those figures, were there any other than Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan?

At this moment, Li Baxian was fully unleashing his power, with a hundred paths of sword light swirling around him, his flying sword traversing the sky back and forth, the terrifying killing power of a sword cultivator displayed without doubt.
