When Wang Ning and his companions were gathering on their way to the teleportation array, this man had once attacked them. Of course, Wang Ning only heard about this later.
That time, when Wu Ye and his group were on their way forward, they encountered a scout team of demon cultivators. At that time, their leader, a Jindan cultivator, did not bother to take action.
Seeing that there were only six scouts, the Jindan cultivator sent out six more people to kill the other party quickly. This was also meant to test the strength of this group of foundation-building cultivators.
Of course, the ones who took action here were all fake dan monks, including Wu Ye, Qiao Baiye and four other fake dan monks who thought they had good cultivation bases.
At that time, Wang Ning and Brohe had not yet joined the team. It is said that in that battle, the six scouts of the other side felt that there was no hope of escape, because there was a Jindan cultivator on the opposite side.
The six men begged for mercy in vain, and immediately turned ferocious, ready to fight to the death.
After a desperate fight, among the six people on Qiao Baiye's side, only Qiao Baiye and the young man in black still had some strength left when they were fighting against the two opponents alone.
The remaining four were killed left and right as the enemy fought desperately, sweating profusely and retreating step by step.
However, the Jindan cultivator here just watched coldly and did not send anyone to support. In the end, the four cultivators on Qiao Baiye's side had to join forces to form a defense circle and resist with all their might.
This made the other party even more crazy. In just twenty breaths, all four monks were injured.
Qiao Baiye and the young man in black killed their opponents one after another in forty breaths. In the end, the young man in black was a bit faster, and then the two of them immediately came to support, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed.
Wang Ning heard that when they were cleaning up the battlefield, some people discovered that although Qiao Baiye had also killed his opponent, the distribution of his magic attack was somewhat scattered, resulting in fatal wounds of varying depths on his opponent.
However, the young man in black was holding a thin bamboo stick, and the man he killed had only one fatal wound, which was a stick piercing the throat. This was enough to show that the other party's control over spiritual power was much higher than Qiao Baiye's.
These were enough to attract Wang Ning's attention, but deep down she still believed that there was some gap between the other party and herself. The other party should be a veteran foundation-building cultivator, who just looked young.
The young man in black rarely spoke, so no one interacted with him. Now that they heard him give his name in person, many people knew who he was. Wang Ning then realized that the other party was also a very powerful figure among the younger generation.
Wu Ye should be a cultivator from the area under the jurisdiction of Shibuyuan. Few people know how he embarked on the path of cultivation. I heard that he seemed to have joined a sect before, but it should have been a low-ranking sect.
Later, when his fame rose, he had become a mysterious and elusive wandering cultivator. His only magic weapon was the pointed bamboo stick in his hand.
He became famous because twenty years ago, the Five Tigers of "Jiulan Mountain" had a conflict with him in a market town. At that time, Wu Ye's cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation building.
The Five Tigers of "Jiulan Mountain" were also some of the most vicious people in the evil world. Their cultivation was in the middle to late stages of foundation building. Any one of them could have the same cultivation level as Wu Ye at that time.
These five people have always been ruthless. After the conflict with Wuye, they knew that there was a Jindan cultivator in the market town, so they did not take action immediately in the market town.
As soon as the five people turned around, four of them left the market early and set up an ambush outside the market. One of them kept an eye on Wu Ye inside the market and was ready to notify the four people outside at any time.
In that battle, the fighting was extremely brutal. Wu Ye was surrounded by five opponents, but he unexpectedly killed two of them. He was also seriously injured and had to escape.
Afterwards, the remaining three tigers of "Jiulan Mountain" issued a large reward on the road, which made many people know about the existence of such a person.
Eight years later, when Wu Ye appeared again, news had already come out that the remaining three tigers of "Jiulan Mountain" had died the night before, and then some so-called friends of the five tigers of "Jiulan Mountain" began to hunt Wu Ye everywhere.
Their real purpose is of course to get the huge bounty. The bounty for the Five Tigers of "Jiulan Mountain" has never been cancelled in the past eight years, and the amount has been increased every year. In the end, although all five of them died, the bounty is still valid.
In the years that followed, those who hunted Wu Ye not only failed to take his life, but during the more than ten years of hunting, many of them died, making Wu Ye's reputation grow.
Later, there were fewer and fewer people chasing him, but now he appeared among the recruited monks.
Li Yan didn't know Wu Ye's name, but when he saw many people exclaiming in surprise, he knew that this man was very capable.
“I have heard of Wu Ye before when I was traveling abroad. He should be more difficult to deal with than Miss Wang just now.
It’s just that he is a casual cultivator, and he has to fight for all cultivation resources by himself, so his realm seems to be lower than Miss Wang’s.”
A cultivator from the Wuliang Sect beside Gong Yuantai said that the realm he was talking about was of course referring to the minor and major success realms among the fake elixirs.
“Well, a person who is on the brink of life and death all day long is certainly not comparable to the sect disciples who are devoted to hard practice.” Gong Yuantai nodded. He also learned about Wu Ye’s origins from other people, and hope rose in his heart again.
After Li Yan was defeated, he wanted to try this young man in black himself.
At this time, Wu Ye had already started fighting with Li Yan in the field. Since it was a fight of martial arts, the two of them didn't say much.
The leafless bamboo stick was dark blue in color, and at this time, it had transformed into a bamboo mountain, surrounding Li Yan tightly in the middle. As soon as he and Li Yan started fighting, he immediately rushed forward, not keeping any distance from Li Yan, and not giving Li Yan any chance to poison him.
The moves were continuous. In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Ye forced Li Yan to dodge continuously without any chance to fight back. "Wu Ye is really good at fighting. His attack is very effective when facing several people. He directly walks into the crowd and lets others attack him. At the same time, he has to be careful not to hurt his companions with powerful spells."
Many people with extraordinary eyesight could see the trick at a glance.
"He is taking an unconventional approach. If he is not careful, he will be surrounded by several people and die faster. However, Wu Ye's body movements are light and changeable, which is why he dares to approach his opponent and fight with him." Someone else echoed softly.
Li Yan was swayed left and right by the bamboo stick, looking quite embarrassed. He even had no chance to use his magic.
Li Yan already understood Wu Ye's erratic movements and was sure that he must have practiced some amazing martial arts. However, this was still far from being as powerful as Feng Chongtian.
What's more, Li Yan's spiritual awareness is far superior to Wu Ye's. Every time Wu Ye moves, Li Yan can predict the position he will reach next. As long as he wants, he can intercept Wu Ye's attack at any time.
If it is a long-range attack from a magic cultivator, Li Yan actually has to consider how to win. Although the Guishui Sutra he practiced is powerful, the spells that can be provided at each level are too limited.
So far, there are only two auxiliary spells provided, "Stealth at Night" and "Five Elements Return to Hongmeng", and there is not even a spell to directly attack the enemy at close range.
Now Wu Ye has chosen to rely on his body skills to fight Li Yan in close combat. This is simply a challenge that he is offering himself to. Li Yan will certainly not let the other party know that he can see through his body skills.
Therefore, every time Li Yan was about to be attacked by the leafless bamboo stick, he would "quickly" dodge it.
But Wu Ye was also a man who had fought for a long time. After just five breaths, he realized something was wrong. Although Li Yan dodged in a panic, he didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Wu Ye suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Having been walking on the edge of life and death for a long time, he felt a hint of danger.
"This person is weird!"
This was a thought that came to Wu Ye's mind. He was also decisive. As soon as he felt something was wrong, he immediately withdrew and planned to use a long-range fighting method. It can be said that Wu Ye's reaction was also extremely fast.
But just as he was about to retreat, a strange smile flashed in Li Yan's eyes. Li Yan waved his sleeves, and a series of "Quicksand Techniques" appeared again, but this time they not only appeared in the air, but also on the ground in the courtyard. Large and small quicksand whirlpools suddenly appeared one after another, like dimples in a wine jar.
This made Wu Ye's retreat slow down involuntarily, as the air and the ground behind him were blocked by seven or eight quicksand spells.
"Quicksand again!"
Not only did Wu Ye have this thought in his mind, but many cultivators around him also whispered it, but their voices revealed helplessness.
It seemed that Li Yan was not familiar with other spells, and was particularly fond of the basic spell "Quicksand". Every time he made a move, he used "Quicksand". Moreover, Li Yan's "Quicksand" was indeed fast and urgent, with a large number and tremendous power.
Wu Ye's body was suspended in the air, about ten feet off the ground. He was protected by a red glow. He held a staff in one hand and shot out a bamboo mountain of staff shadows forward to block Li Yan from getting close.
At the same time, Wu Ye slightly tilted his body and kicked out with one leg sweeping backwards, bringing out a strong whistling sound. Wherever he passed, whirlpools of quicksand were "bang bang bang" swept away and kicked, causing the attack behind him to instantly disintegrate.
At the same time, he had already held his breath. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake and follow in Wang Ning's footsteps.
He naturally didn't know that Wang Ning was also protected by the spiritual power shield and was poisoned by Li Yan's sneak attack, but due to his long-term caution, his spiritual power had already spread out everywhere to prevent Li Yan from setting any traps in secret.
The bamboo stick in his hand was like a mountain protecting him in front of him, preventing Li Yan from getting even a bit close. It could be said that Wu Ye had achieved comprehensive defense.
As the "Quicksand Spells" behind him exploded one after another, in an instant, yellow mist spread out in the courtyard again, and the monks in the courtyard had to take off into the air again.
Everyone felt helpless about Li Yan's love for using "Quicksand Technique" to poison.
Everyone saw this kind of live fight. It was a one-time thing, and no one could help but be on high alert after Wang Ning suffered a loss without knowing why. It seemed that Li Yan only knew this trick.
The first thing that surprised Wu Ye was that he didn't feel anything wrong with the exploding yellow mist. Some of the yellow mist came into contact with the red light outside his legs, but didn't have any attack effect, and he didn't feel any hallucinations in his consciousness.
Confused as he was, these thoughts only flashed through Wu Ye's mind. He still followed his previous plan and quickly moved away from Li Yan, waiting for an opportunity to find Li Yan's weakness.
Wu Ye retracted his sweeping left leg and stepped into the air. Circles of red light rippled out from under his feet, and a shadow like a mountain of sticks splashed out in front of him, but his body had already shot backwards.
But just as his figure rose, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and his consciousness became a little fuzzy for an instant. His body staggered as he retreated, and the shadow of the stick in his hand also stopped for a moment.
"Oh no, it's poisoned!"
After experiencing life and death countless times, Wuye's reactions became extremely quick. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, trying to wake himself up.
But there was another sharp pain in his head, and Wu Ye could no longer hold on. His body could not stand in the air and he immediately fell to the ground.
