Chapter 74

Step by step, Bu Ye kicked off the ground with his left foot, the explosive power from the specialized small star in his calf making him almost leap into Lu Qi's arms!

Lu Qi's sword had no time to retract. Bu Ye's right hand rose slightly, and he directly smashed the hilt of the broken sword into Lu Qi's face!

"Bang!!"

"Crack!!"

Bu Ye didn't use his full strength, but he still broke Lu Qi's nasal bone and knocked him backward.

Even so, as Lu Qi fell, he still swung his right hand swiftly, his sword cutting directly toward Bu Ye's left waist.

Bu Ye sneered, using his right foot as a pivot, he suddenly lifted his left leg, bending his knee to collide directly with Lu Qi's right wrist.

The flexibility of the leg is clearly lower than that of the arm. If it were before, Bu Ye's speed and accuracy would have been lacking, but now it was different. He had already activated the specialized small star in his left calf, which could fully achieve the effect he wanted!

"Bang!!"

With ten blood stars activated and the power of the specialized small star, Bu Ye's left knee was like a hammer, colliding from bottom to top with Lu Qi's right wrist.

Lu Qi's wrist bone almost broke, let alone holding the sword firmly.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Qi's fingers involuntarily loosened, and the sword flew up.

Bu Ye was quick to react, his left hand stretched out and caught the sword hilt in mid-air with a "snap."

Only then did a dull sound of "bang" come from Lu Qi, who fell heavily to the ground with a broken nose and a face full of blood.

Lu Qi didn't even have time to tend to his face, using his hands to push himself up, he tried to crawl away to increase the distance between him and Bu Ye. However, with Bu Ye standing and Lu Qi on the ground, how could Lu Qi be faster?

Bu Ye threw the hilt in his right hand, handed the sword to his right hand, and lunged forward!

Bu Ye's body was almost parallel to the ground, his right hand raised high, the four-foot-long sword sweeping from right to left toward Lu Qi's upper body!

Lu Qi screamed in fear, falling backward to avoid Bu Ye's sword.

However, the sword in Bu Ye's hand stopped halfway through its arc, with enough power left to change the move! It turned out that Bu Ye's previous strike was a feint! Bu Ye was still lunging toward Lu Qi, the tip of the sword suddenly pointing forward, heading straight for Lu Qi's face!

This time, Lu Qi couldn't react in time, his head sharply turning to the right to avoid the sword tip.

"Whoosh!!"

The sword almost grazed Lu Qi's left cheek, piercing into the ground. Since Bu Ye had used all his strength this time, the four-foot-long blade was embedded in the ground up to two feet, leaving only half of it exposed!

Lu Qi tried to run, but Bu Ye had already landed on him.

Bu Ye didn't even bother to pull out the sword, he simply swung his left arm outward, knocking away Lu Qi's right hand, and then formed a fist with his right hand, smashing it heavily into Lu Qi's face!

Lu Qi tried to block with his left hand, but his speed was far slower than Bu Ye's. His hand was still half a foot away from Bu Ye's right fist when Bu Ye's punch landed!

"Bang!!!!"

The powerful punch hit Lu Qi's face directly, the sound of the impact and the cracking of bones made the nearby soldiers shudder and feel bitter in their mouths, as if the punch had hit them.

But it was far from over.

After Bu Ye's first punch, he raised his right arm again, and the second punch was just as fierce as the first, smashing into Lu Qi's face!

At this point, Lu Qi tried to turn his head to avoid the punch, but he failed. His head had barely lifted a little when Bu Ye's punch sent it crashing back to the ground.

Bu Ye's second punch almost knocked Lu Qi unconscious, leaving him in a daze and unable to resist.

Bu Ye grabbed Lu Qi's collar with his left hand and was about to throw the third punch.

"Wait..." At this moment, Lu Qi, who had been lifted by Bu Ye, suddenly spoke.

Bu Ye didn't say anything, just looked at him expressionlessly.

Since Bu Ye's second punch had hit Lu Qi's left side of the face, Lu Qi's left eye was completely swollen shut, and only his right eye was looking at Bu Ye.

Lu Qi's eyes were full of fear, and he pleaded, "Let me go... I can clear your name afterward, otherwise, you will be wanted nationwide..."

Bu Ye thought Lu Qi would say something more interesting, but it turned out to be this.

He laughed silently, his left hand still holding Lu Qi's collar, and his right arm raised to its maximum extent!

Punch!

"Bang!!!!"

Lu Qi's entire upper body crashed heavily to the ground, his face deeply sunken, and he was only breathing out, not in.

Bu Ye didn't even look at Lu Qi, he stood up and bent down to pull the sword out of the ground with a "whoosh."

At this moment, the team leader with ten Heart Cloud stars, whose right leg had been severed by Bu Ye, was still lying on the ground moaning. Bu Ye walked directly toward him with the sword in hand.

The entire time, the soldiers in the distant battle formation were completely stunned, not daring to move.

In fact, for a formation like theirs, as long as Bu Ye didn't foolishly charge in, it posed no threat to him.

The team leader with ten Heart Cloud stars, seeing Bu Ye approach with the sword, was so frightened that he stopped moaning. He used his hands to push himself backward, pleading, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I was just following Lu Qi's orders, it's not my fault..."

The team leader's face was pale with extreme fear and tension, his voice trembling, and he slipped several times while retreating, almost falling to the ground, looking utterly desperate and helpless.

But Bu Ye didn't slow down because of this. He quickly caught up and asked, "If I were killed by you, would it also not be your fault?"

"It was all Lu Qi's orders! It was all him..."

Bu Ye sneered. This kind of passing the buck was a familiar tactic. The higher-ups would say, "Yes, I gave the order, but I didn't expect them to do that," while the subordinates would say, "We were just following orders, perhaps the methods were a bit extreme..."

In reality, everyone knew what was going on. Their methods were always the same.

Would something happen?

It didn't depend on them, but on who they encountered.

This time, they encountered Bu Ye, so something happened. But how many Bu Yes are there in the world?

But there are plenty of Lu Qis, Zhu Kuans, and Yu Dachens in the world...

Bu Ye had thought about this issue too many times and was too lazy to think about it again. He suddenly sped up, passing by the team leader. The team leader tried to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat.

A second later, a straight line of blood appeared on the team leader's neck, and his head rolled off.

After killing the team leader, Bu Ye felt physically and mentally exhausted, almost sitting down on the ground.

But he couldn't.

He turned around and looked at the group of soldiers about fifty meters away.

On one side, there was only him, with wounds all over his body, his clothes completely stained with blood, almost exhausted. On the other side, there were about 150 soldiers, most of whom were uninjured and had been resting for a while.

They stared at each other, and after about twenty seconds, Bu Ye took the first step, stopping about ten meters away.

During this process, many soldiers in the formation swallowed their saliva and subconsciously took a step back.

Then, Bu Ye spoke calmly, "How long can you maintain this formation?"

Yes, they could only maintain their defensive formation, not an offensive one. How long could they maintain it?

More importantly, Bu Ye had ways to force them to scatter. For example, driving the horses from the camp to charge, setting fire to the tents and supplies, or throwing them into the crowd...

They had never believed that a Heart Cloud Awakened person could wipe out their 150-man formation, but after seeing Bu Ye kill Lu Qi, Zhu Kuan, Yu Dachen, two team leaders, and dozens of soldiers, they had no confidence left.

Bu Ye's ruthlessness was something they had never seen before.

"Run!!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted and quickly ran into the darkness.

Then a second, a third, and more soldiers ran away, some even discarding their weapons.

In a moment, the 150-man formation was reduced to only five or six people.

Qiu Tangshan also stayed, not because he wasn't afraid of death, but because he couldn't bear to run. Besides him, there were four others, all with serious expressions, looking at Bu Ye with a mix of fear and hatred.

Bu Ye didn't pay attention to Qiu Tangshan and the others, he returned to Lu Qi, bent down to take off Lu Qi's scabbard, glanced at the Dongmang Village residents, and walked into the darkness.
