Chapter 73: Tiger Crossing the Mountain

After a short while, Lu Ye packed up his spoils and left, leaving two incomplete corpses on the spot.

A Lingxi 4th level cultivator couldn't withstand three blows from Lu Ye, let alone a Lingxi 3rd level cultivator? Being taken advantage of by Lu Ye, their demise was already certain.

This time, Lu Ye paid attention. Every time he killed a person, his merit increased by three points, and two people would be six points. Now his merit has reached 62 points!

At night, in a corridor in the belly of the mountain, Lu Ye hid and repaired, while Yiyi and Dahu continued to monitor both ends to prevent anyone from invading without knowing it.

That day, he fought three battles and had a good harvest. He didn't want any of the spoils, but exchanged them all with the Xuanmen people for elixirs. He got more than 20 elixirs, 80% of which were Yunling elixirs.

Compared with these spoils of war, Lu Ye felt that the biggest gain was the experience of fighting with others. Although he had experienced several battles since entering the Lingxi battlefield, those battles were separated by a long period of time, unlike this time, where he fought continuously within a day.

Such high-intensity battles not only allow him to quickly examine his own shortcomings, but also enrich his own fighting skills.

Cultivation behind closed doors is naturally not as good as fighting with real swords and guns, which is experience gained with blood and injuries.

He suffered some injuries, but none of them were serious.

Lu Ye first ate some dried meat to relieve his hunger, and when he was full and drunk, he began to swallow elixirs to replenish his spiritual power.

He frequently used sharp and defensive spiritual patterns in battle. Although these two spiritual patterns can play a role beyond Lu Ye's cultivation level, the disadvantages are obvious and the consumption is very large.

If Lu Ye wants to ensure his own combat power in the next action, he must keep his own spiritual power sufficient.

Now that he is at the third level of Lingxi, the efficiency of refining Danli has been improved. Lu Ye does not know the consumption of opening the spiritual orifice again for the time being, but according to the previous rules, the consumption of opening the spiritual orifice will increase in the future, but the efficiency of cultivation will also increase accordingly, so the time added for each opening will not be too much, and it can even be equal.

There was no conversation that night. The Lietian Gorge was quiet at night. No sound of the fighting between the Xuanmen and Jiuxing Sect monks could be heard outside. Now everyone's cultivation is still low, so at night they almost all choose to find a place to rest and replenish their consumption during the day. The real battle will only take place during the day.

When it was dawn, Lu Ye led Da Hu and Yi Yi out of the corridor and started the hunting journey.

For several consecutive days, Lu Ye spent his time in constant battles, from one or two to three or four. The number of spiritual pills in his hand gradually increased, and his merits were also increasing.

He finally figured out how to calculate merits. Through his observation, the number of merits represented by the number of levels of cultivation of the killed monks was the basic value.

For example, if he kills a cultivator of the second level of Lingxi, he can get two points of merit, and the third level is three points...

But if he kills an enemy of a higher level, the merit he gets will increase by a basic value for each level he passes.

Lu Ye is at the third level, and he only gets three points of merit for killing a cultivator of the third level, but if he kills a cultivator of the fourth level, he will get eight points of merit.

And before, he killed a cultivator of the fourth level at the second level, which is two levels higher, so the merit is twelve points...

He calculated it a little and found that it can correspond to the merit he got from killing enemies before. It seems that this calculation method is correct.

After fighting for a few days, he gradually became familiar with the feeling of fighting with the enemy for life and death. Although his cultivation did not increase, his fighting skills were greatly improved, which increased his efficiency in killing enemies.

These days, Lu Ye also tried to see if he could get out of Lietian Gorge, but found that it was unlikely.

He didn't know how many people Xuanmen and Jiuxing Sect had invested in the area of ​​Lietian Gorge, but according to his and Yiyi's observations, both sides had invested nearly a thousand people in Lingxi Realm!

Thousands of cultivators were scattered in this huge maze, and they could encounter enemies at any time and anywhere. After passing through the maze, the terrain ahead would suddenly shrink, and finally converge into a canyon through Lietian Gorge. If they wanted to get out, this was the only way. Jiuxing Sect had deployed a large number of people at the exit of the canyon, and he would definitely end up in a bad way if he dared to show up.

It would be better for him to hide in the maze and kill the enemy.

After a few days of action, Lu Ye's whereabouts had been exposed. He clearly felt that Jiuxing Sect was increasing its efforts to search for him. The most obvious sign was that the number of cultivators he encountered now had increased.

At the beginning, the teams he encountered were all three or four people, but now each team has at least five or six people, and some even have more than a dozen.

Lu Ye could still handle a team of three or four people, but he didn't dare to take action against five or six people. As for the team of more than ten people, he would stay as far away as possible.

After suffering several losses, the cultivators on the Xuanmen side also made corresponding adjustments, increasing the number of teams to fight against the Jiuxing Sect.

In the Gorge Maze, a battle was breaking out. The scale of this battle was not small, involving nearly twenty cultivators, with more than ten people on each side, including several in the fourth level of Lingxi. However, judging from the results, neither side took advantage, and both sides suffered casualties.

In the midst of the fierce battle, a tiger roar was heard, and both sides of the battle looked stern.

Someone shouted excitedly: "The mountain tiger is coming!"

It was a cultivator from the Xuanmen.

Lu Ye, who was lying on the tiger's back and rushing towards the battlefield, frowned when he heard the words. He didn't know how he got the title of mountain tiger, which was a bit too unpleasant.

However, considering that neither side knew his name, Lu Ye could only accept this title.

Lu Ye came from the rear of the Xuanmen team. Hearing the tiger roar, the Xuanmen cultivators tacitly made way for him. The tiger leaped into the battlefield and threw a Lingxi third-level cultivator to the ground.

Lu Ye, who was lying on his back, had already rushed out, with his long sword unsheathed, and the bright blade flashed, slashing directly at a Lingxi fourth-level cultivator.

The one fighting with this man was a fourth-level cultivator from the Xuanmen. This guy had a baby face and looked harmless. Seeing Lu Ye coming at him, he couldn't help but shouting, "Don't steal my head!"

He had the upper hand. As long as he was given enough time, he could take down the other party.

It's not surprising that he shouted like that. The main reason is that the name of Guoshanhu has been widely spread among the Xuanmen monks in recent days. It is said that this guy never takes the spoils after killing people. He just wants the Xuanmen people to give him some elixirs. Another point is that this guy is always elusive and likes to steal heads.

Sometimes he can save the Xuanmen disciples from danger by doing this. Many people are grateful for the life-saving grace.

But sometimes, when the Xuanmen people are obviously in the upper hand, he will come out and attack them, and end up stealing the merits that others have obtained.

The Xuanmen monks love and hate this man.
