Sage of Humanity-Chapter 611 - 609

```

This is the awkwardness of magic cultivators, even if the difference in cultivation is big, if the magic and spells don't hit the target, they are meaningless.

Moreover, from Lu Ye's speed and responses, Huo Liaoyuan couldn't help but have a bizarre illusion—that he seemed not to be fighting a Level 5 combat cultivator...

Within the Sacred Universe Spirit Ground, cultivators from the two sects often sought his guidance for practice, especially a Level 8 combat cultivator named Ming Zhe who asked for his advice quite frequently.

But comparing the two, Huo Liaoyuan couldn't help but astonishingly find that Lu Yiye's performance in front of him was even better than that of junior brother Ming Zhe.

At the very least, junior brother Ming Zhe had never lasted so long without defeat under his hand.

What kind of monster was this? A Level 5 cultivator who had strength comparable to Level 8?

And was what he saw everything?

Even though Huo Liaoyuan had never underestimated Lu Ye from the beginning, at this moment, he was somewhat terrified. With a thought, the fiery red spirit force disc that had been hovering in front of him slowly dissipated.

The meteor fire shower attack was dense and ferocious, suited for facing multiple foes, but the consumption was too great. Judging from the previous events, it seemed unrealistic to rely on this Dao technique to kill Lu Yiye now.

Huo Liaoyuan could only think of another method.

At the same moment, sensing the opponent's onslaught was withdrawing, Lu Ye immediately touched the ground with his feet and turned his body, pouncing towards Huo Liaoyuan.

"Wishful thinking!" Huo Liaoyuan, who knew Lu Ye's intentions all too well, saw that the other party was clearly trying to take this opportunity to get close to him. As he let out an angry shout, spirit force surged around his body, and in front of him, the fiery red spirit force gathered and writhed as if something was about to strike from within.

Lu Ye focused on the writhing spirit force as the supplies box at his waist buzzed, with nine weapon controls ready to be unleashed.

As the distance between them closed rapidly, before Lu Ye could even unleash the might of his weapon control, hissing sounds came from within that writhing spirit force, followed by a fire serpent, dozens of meters long and as thick as the mouth of a bowl, shooting out.

If one ignored the flames burning around the fire serpent, it looked just like a real giant snake, with smooth body curves, densely packed scales, and even two snake eyes and fangs that were impressively lifelike. As the fire serpent lunged out, hissing, it reached Lu Ye in the blink of an eye and bit at him with its open mouth.

Lu Ye moved, dodging immediately and continuing to charge at Huo Liaoyuan.

However, he did not expect the fire serpent to suddenly twist its body, and its fiery, winding tail whipped towards Lu Ye's back with tremendous force.

The wind of the strike approached, and Lu Ye narrowly avoided it, the diversion delaying his movement. He turned and saw the fire serpent chasing after him as if sentient.

More hissing came as a second fire serpent slithered and struck, its speed so fast that it left no time for reaction.

With no time to spare, Lu Ye somersaulted to the side, but the two fire serpents, like living creatures, attacked again from both sides, entangling him tenaciously.

As the Boulder Mountain Saber fell, the sharp saber energy swept through, striking the fire serpent and producing a dull sound, as if the blade had hit steel. This technique, though a convergence of spirit force, seemed to have been endowed with a powerful body and life.

Lu Ye sighed inwardly, not begrudging the professional magic cultivator. Although he could also perform a similar Fire Dragon Technique, at most, he could slightly control it and definitely could not achieve Huo Liaoyuan's level of making the technique last for a long time.

Summoning two such fire serpents undoubtedly consumed a considerable amount of Huo Liaoyuan's spirit force. He did not summon a third serpent, instead standing in place, his consciousness surging as he controlled the two fire serpents to entangle with Lu Ye.

Since the large-scale technique like the meteor fire shower wasn't effective against Lu Yiye, then he would crush him in the area he excelled. These two fire serpents were essentially engaging in close combat with Lu Ye.

The figures of one man and two snakes moved and flipped through the air, creating a perilous scene. As Lu Ye's Boulder Mountain Saber kept swinging, sparks flew in all directions.

Huo Liaoyuan's expression gradually became solemn, as he realized that, although Lu Ye was not handling the situation easily, just relying on two fire serpents certainly wasn't enough to kill him.

These two fire serpents could last for a while, but as time passed, the power they could exert would inevitably decrease.

He couldn't keep dragging it out! Huo Liaoyuan was feeling something was not quite right.

He must use his most ferocious methods to kill Lu Yiye with one strike!

When he had decided to use the Deathmatch Arena, he had never thought that Lu Yiye, a Level 5 combat cultivator, could withstand his attack for such a long time.

But now, even if he hated Lu Ye deeply, he had to admit that this guy was indeed a tough opponent.

With that in mind, he suddenly spread his arms, his body shook, and instantly, countless sparks flew out. At first glance, these sparks seemed like fireflies, their faint glow seemingly insignificant, as if they could be extinguished with a single puff. But in the instant these sparks appeared, Lu Ye felt a tremendous sense of danger.

A powerful consciousness brought strong intuition, allowing him to sense many dangers and opportunities that were difficult to discern with the naked eye.

As he was entangled with the two fire serpents, Lu Ye took the opportunity to glance towards Huo Liaoyuan and immediately saw countless sparks floating towards him, fireflies moving at a not-too-slow speed yet covering a greatly expansive area.

No matter what technique this was, it was definitely not something he could contend with at the moment.

```

A great sense of danger arose in his heart, and Lu Ye immediately wanted to rush towards where Huo Liaoyuan was. However, two fire serpents—one on the left and one on the right—firmly blocked his path, continuously entangling him.

In just a moment, the night sky was covered with glow, half of the Death Combat Arena was enveloped, and some glow even landed on Lu Ye's body, but he didn't feel much of it.

Huo Liaoyuan slowly raised a hand, the spirit force around his body surging wildly, and he shouted, "Lu Yiye, to die under this move of mine is an honor for you!"

The response to him was a Single Flash from Lu Ye!

The ferocious attack finally broke one of the fire serpents in half, and with Move-Like-The-Wind propelling his legs, he was about to flee at full speed when he felt a burning sensation entwining his body.

Looking back, he saw that the fire serpent he should have shattered with a single saber strike had not dispersed after being split in two, but instead, like a living creature, it entwined around his legs,

Before Lu Ye could free himself from the entanglement, the other fire serpent quickly coiled its way up, binding Lu Ye tightly with its left and right turns and directly pulling him to the ground.

Lu Ye was panicked but not chaotic, and as the struggle of that moment had greatly reduced the strength of the two fire serpents, he just fiercely urged the spirit force throughout his body and used the strength of his arms to break the fire serpents that bound him into several segments.

But in the end, it was a step too late.

Huo Liaoyuan raised his hand towards Lu Ye, then clenched it fiercely, as if crushing an invisible bug, and a cold and deep voice came out of his mouth, "Prairie Burning Explosion Burial!"

A weak glimmer in one instant became a thousand times brighter. As the glow spread far and wide, it carried within it a pulse of spirit force that made one's heart tremble.

If it was just a bit of such glow, Lu Ye naturally wouldn't have cared, but at that moment, the glow floating beside him was not merely a bit—it was a thousand points, ten thousand points... countless.

Like a prairie fire spreading rapidly in all directions, all the glow exploded at once. In an instant, the location where Lu Ye was seemed to have countless miniature suns bursting.

And at that very moment, he had just freed himself from the entanglement of the fire serpents, and even with great speed, it was impossible to escape this area.

Boom...

A sound erupted, followed by the burst of the glow and then a continuous, massive buzzing noise.

Dazzling firelight enveloped half of the Deathmatch Arena; the intense heat distorted space, the towering light blocked by the restriction barrier, and the sweeping shockwaves raged back and forth within the vast Deathmatch Arena, blowing Huo Liaoyuan's black hair and clothes with a rustling sound.

Even the one who cast the magic and spells was momentarily dazzled by the spectacular sight before him.

Huo Liaoyuan burst into laughter.

Finally... he had killed Lu Yiye!

A Dao technique like that, not to mention that Lu Ye was only at Level 5 realm, even a Level 9 couldn't withstand it; this was one of his trump cards, in terms of might, it was the most powerful among all the techniques he had mastered. The only flaw was its slow casting speed, and it had significant limitations—it could only be used effectively when the enemy was restrained.

The confined space of the Deathmatch Arena, with Lu Ye entangled by the fire serpents, provided a perfect opportunity for the technique to shine.

Would Lu Yiye be left without a whole corpse? If that were the case, there would be no evidence left, and would those big sects of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge still recognize the bounty they had posted?

Even if he was not left without a whole corpse, his face would have definitely been burned beyond recognition...

That's right, Xia Liang and Tan Sheng had witnessed him using the Deathmatch Arena. As long as they were willing to testify, the big sects would likely not go back on their word.

Even if no one testified for him, he could still take the Heaven's Augury oath to prove that Lu Yiye was killed by him...

With his mind relaxing, a variety of thoughts suddenly popped into his head.

Huo Liaoyuan's face turned slightly pale, and he sat down on the ground with a plop.

Although the battle didn't last long, his consumption was simply too great. Just maintaining the meteor fire shower for one incense stick's time had already used up nearly half of his spirit force. The Fire Serpent Technique didn't consume much, but the Prairie Burning Explosion Burial was another technique with huge consumption. At this moment, his spirit force was only about 20% of his normal level.

Furthermore, his mind and spirit were consumed intensely, and he was already feeling a bit groggy.

The casting of magic and spells brought not only the depletion of spirit force but also a burden on the mind and spirit. The more powerful the technique, the greater the load on the mind and spirit.

This was also a downside of being a magic cultivator, unavoidable.

However, thinking about killing Lu Yiye and receiving an unimaginably large bounty, Huo Liaoyuan's mood lifted again.

Yet just as a smile started to appear on his face, it suddenly froze...

Something wasn't right; the Deathmatch Arena had its own rules. The two combatants must fight to the death, with only one allowed to leave alive. Once one party was dead or alive, the Deathmatch Arena's constraints would be instantly lifted, returning him to where he originally entered. So why... was he still in the Deathmatch Arena?
