Sage of Humanity-Chapter 591 - 589 Battle Giant Armor

Looking up, he saw the Giant Armor maintaining the posture of throwing a punch, his face showing a violent struggle; in just an instant, he had positioned himself in front of the Fox Demon, and threw a punch at the incoming Lu Ye.

Lu Ye leapt aside, dodging the strike, his heart filled with unparalleled horror!

In just a short encounter, the Giant Armor had already had his psyche enslaved by the Fox Demon!

What kind of heaven-defying method was this?

How exactly did the Fox Demon enslave someone’s mind? Lu Ye did not know, merely guessing it was an innate ability she was born with, but according to the information Lu Ye had, even if the Fox Demon wanted to achieve that, she needed direct contact with the person.

When he pretended to be unconscious and was taken back to Fox Fairy Valley, the Fox Demon had touched his forehead and then cast a secret technique.

He had never imagined that, without direct contact, the Fox Demon could also cast this secret technique through the air.

Moreover, the Giant Armor had once followed him deep into the Soul Cleansing Pool, undergoing a psyche purification in the pool. Though the benefits he received were not as significant as Lu Ye’s, his psyche was still much sturdier compared to other cultivators of the same level. Despite that, he had been enslaved by her with a single glance; the power of the Fox Demon’s innate divine ability far exceeded Lu Ye’s imagination.

Having an ally he thought he could rely on suddenly turn against him truly caught Lu Ye off guard.

What puzzled Lu Ye even more was how the Fox Demon survived after being struck by his saber.

His strike had targeted the heart of the Fox Demon, piercing her body while also being reinforced by the Cactus Spirit Runes; there was no reason for the Fox Demon to still be alive.

Yet, despite the Fox Demon’s weakened state, as fragile as a candle in the wind, she refused to die!

With a punch that forced Lu Ye back, the Giant Armor quickly turned, scooped up the continuously bleeding Fox Demon, jumped up, and flew towards the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

This is bad!

If the Giant Armor managed to take the Fox Demon away, all of today’s planning would be for naught.

He had waited in Fox Fairy Valley for such a long time, finally, catching a good opportunity today; the chance of another such moment was absolutely impossible.

Moreover, he had already exposed himself today. If he allowed the Giant Armor to take the Fox Demon away, he might never find them again!

While Lu Ye was thinking this, a slender figure suddenly appeared in front of the Giant Armor, startlingly it was Yiyi lurking nearby.

At that moment, Yiyi charged towards the Giant Armor, her hands casting several magic and spells. The Giant Armor, undaunted by the assault, sturdily met the stars set off by the spells with one arm holding the severely injured Fox Demon and with the other, smashed his fist ruthlessly towards Yiyi without any mercy.

Lu Ye’s heart tightened as he watched.

But just then, the Nine Arrays Diagram appeared in Yiyi’s hand, enlarging in the wind and transforming into a large curtain covering the sky, aiming straight for the Giant Armor.

Caught off guard, the Giant Armor’s punch hit the diagram, as if striking an invisible space, swallowing his entire arm.

The Giant Armor tried to retreat, but Lu Ye had already charged forward, fiercely kicking his back as if he were kicking steel, producing a dull sound, and directly kicking him into the Nine Arrays Diagram.

In that diagram, an environment filled with chaotic rocks soon had two additional figures.

"Well done!" Lu Ye praised loudly, following closely behind the Giant Armor and plunging into the Nine Arrays Diagram.

Inside the Nine Arrays Diagram, the dark sky was like a thick layer of cotton, oppressively heavy, making it hard to breathe, with strange whirlpools slowly rotating in the sky, giving the whole space an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

This was clearly not a real world; this was merely a space within the Nine Arrays Diagram.

The Giant Armor still held the Fox Demon, standing quietly under a stone pillar, glaring fiercely at Lu Ye who had chased him in; his expression was strangely unfamiliar to Lu Ye.

The Fox Demon was still bleeding, panic like never before evident on her face. More shocking to her than her tragic situation was the unexpected betrayal by Lu Ye.

She had never imagined that a cultivator under her command could one day betray her, inflicting such great pain on her.

They stood about dozens of meters apart, neither the Giant Armor nor Lu Ye moved.

Although the Giant Armor’s cultivation was on par with his, no one probably knew the strength of the Giant Armor’s body better than Lu Ye.

If it really came down to a fight to the death, he could certainly defeat the Giant Armor, but he himself would not get off lightly.

But now that the Giant Armor had his psyche enslaved, without settling him, it would be impossible to cause any harm to the Fox Demon, indeed a headache.

"Just who are you!" the Fox Demon spat, bearing her teeth.

Lu Ye gave her a calm look, his gaze as serene as if he was looking at a dead person.

Once inside the Nine Arrays Diagram, the Fox Demon was undoubtedly doomed. Now, what he needed to consider was how to get past the Giant Armor to kill the Fox Demon.

"You have never been affected by my secret technique, have you?" the Fox Demon asked again; at this point, she had finally understood some things.

Today’s events were definitely not coincidental, but had been meticulously planned by Lu Ye. Taking advantage of the moment Fox Fairy Valley was weakened and mentally relaxed after the battle with the Berserk Giant Ape, he had suddenly attacked, truly catching her off guard.

Just then, Yiyi’s voice suddenly entered Lu Ye’s ears: "Lu Ye, do you want me to send some demon wolves in to help?"

"No way!" Lu Ye hastily refused.

If he hadn’t known that the Fox Demon could enslave minds from afar, it might have been okay, but now that he knew, he absolutely couldn’t let any other person or demon beast enter the Nine Arrays Diagram. Otherwise, far from helping, it would only make the situation worse.

Even the Giant Armor couldn’t block the Fox Demon’s secret technique, let alone those demon wolves. If they were really sent in, they would only end up aiding the Fox Demon.

So in today’s battle, only he himself would fight!

Apart from Yiyi, he could not rely on any outside help.

"Play it by ear!" Lu Ye muttered softly, slightly bending his figure as he held the Boulder Mountain Saber vertically in front of him, fixing his gaze on the Giant Armor, and adopted an offensive stance.

In the next instant, the dust beneath his feet billowed up, and with the Move-Like-The-Wind augmentation, he surged forward like thunder and lightning, pouncing towards Giant Armor. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Giant Armor, the long saber wreathed in flames harshly chopping down directly at the Fox Demon in the Giant Armor’s embrace.

The Giant Armor raised its right arm, and a flash of mystic light bloomed on that arm, forming a shield.

The long saber struck down, making a loud clang, and the rebounding force slightly pushed Lu Ye back, but the mystic light shield on the Giant Armor’s arm merely trembled slightly.

In the next instant, the Boulder Mountain Saber fell again, showing no mercy, still aiming for the Fox Demon.

The Fox Demon’s pupils constricted. During Lu Ye’s days in Fox Fairy Valley, he had always been positioned only as an array cultivator. The Fox Demon’s greatest recognition of him was his profound accomplishments in the Array Path; the many formations he directed and set up in Fox Fairy Valley had played a significant role in successfully slaying the Berserk Giant Ape.

But the Fox Demon had never imagined that this array cultivator she valued so greatly could burst forth with such strength!

Lu Ye was only at Level 4 in his cultivation, but his strength already seemed not far behind those at Level 6-7 in the valley.

What surprised her even more was the performance of the Giant Armor.

Enslaving the Giant Armor was just an act of desperation. She had never expected that this robust man, who had the same level of cultivation as Lu Ye and whom she was seeing for the first time, would also perform exceedingly well.

These two people… where did these monsters pop up from?

Had she actually enslaved an incredibly formidable fellow?

While the Fox Demon’s psyche wavered, Lu Ye and the Giant Armor had already exchanged more than ten blows. With each slash Lu Ye delivered, he did so with full force, holding nothing back. Every strike he made was completely blocked by the Giant Armor.

Although he knew well that the Giant Armor’s physique was strong and its defenses were outstanding, it was only by personally fighting against it that he could truly appreciate the terrifying strength of its defense.

Although the Giant Armor remained unharmed, it still looked extremely awkward under Lu Ye’s relentless offensive. Firstly, it was on the defensive, and secondly, it had to spare extra effort to protect the Fox Demon in its arms.

Even if it had no worries and was just fighting against Lu Ye, it might not necessarily be his match, let alone under these circumstances.

Under the repeated heavy hits of the saber, the Giant Armor kept retreating while Lu Ye, with every slash, pressed forward bit by bit, feeling an increasingly intense pressure.

The Fox Demon sensed something ominous and suddenly looked up at Lu Ye, her beautiful eyes immediately turning into an abyss as that eerie power fluctuated once more.

Even though she guessed that Lu Ye might not be affected by her secret technique, the Fox Demon couldn’t help but try.

The eerie power invaded Lu Ye’s psyche, and a faint grey mist immediately flared up as his innate ability reacted.

The light in the Fox Demon’s eyes dimmed slightly. Indeed… this guy had absolute resistance against her secret technique, but she really couldn’t understand how someone of Cloud River Level 4 could resist like that.

Even if his psyche was powerful, there was no reason it shouldn’t be affected by her secret technique.

Another saber fell, and as it did, a glint of brilliant light flashed on the Boulder Mountain Saber, bolstered by the Hefty Weight Spirit Runes!

The Giant Armor, blocking this hit with its arm, suddenly felt shorter, as if a massive force was pressing down on it. It roared ferociously, a wild strength bursting from its body, trying to counteract this overwhelming force.

But the next moment, the hefty weight suddenly disappeared.

The abrupt change caught the Giant Armor off guard, and its solid defenses finally revealed a hint of vulnerability, staggering slightly in its stand.

Lu Ye drew back his saber and thrust directly towards the Fox Demon’s face.

A look of terror appeared on the pale face of the Fox Demon, her beautiful eyes reflecting the fiery red saber light, which rapidly enlarged in her field of view.

However, this strike ultimately did not claim her life; in the critical moment, the Giant Armor grabbed the Boulder Mountain Saber, letting its sharp blade slice his large hand bloodily, yet he clenched his teeth and did not let go.

Lu Ye’s eyes twitched, his body leaped up, and he kicked out, taking advantage of the rebounding force to distance himself from the Giant Armor.

Pfft… The Fox Demon spat blood, her face so pale it lacked any hint of color.

Although she had been constantly protected by the Giant Armor and was not hurt by Lu Ye, the ferocity of his exchanges with the Giant Armor was such that, even with the best protection, she still suffered considerable shock.

In normal times, such a shock wouldn’t have affected her much, but having been injured by the Berserk Giant Ape and then ambushed by Lu Ye, her seriously wounded body now found these repeated shocks from their clashes extremely unbearable.

The Giant Armor clearly noticed this as well, and it looked down at the Fox Demon in its arms with a gaze full of concern.
