The blood gushed out like red dye, adding a vibrant touch to the red maple leaves.

Blood splattered onto Lu Ye's face, staining half of his face red.

However, there was one area that failed to turn red: the white patch around the right eye, a small area extending from the right eye to the tip of the hairline on the forehead that was dyed white.

This was a sign of the Dragon's Blood. The multiple deaths in the past, coupled with Violet's dragon cough, caused some changes in Lu Ye's body.

"Ugh...!!"

The disobedient monk released her naginata and retreated backward, trying to cover the wound on her neck to stop the bleeding, but it was in vain.

The Mortal Blade is used to sever the power of immortality.

The renegade monk underestimated Lu Ye.

She could see through Lu Ye's subtle intentions in using the twin swords, and Lu Ye could naturally see why the broken monk had to keep his distance.

This is clearly a bait-and-switch tactic, designed to lure him into attacking before taking him down in one fell swoop.

But Lu Ye still chose to bite the hook.

Otherwise, how could I have gotten this excellent opportunity?

From the moment he prepared to thrust, Kusabimaru's target was not the corrupt monk, but rather a "brake" prepared to stop in time during the advance.

As for why he was able to accurately step on the naginata, Lu Ye had to thank Hanbei.

Hanbei once used this move to counter his opponent's thrusting attack.

Not only can it dodge attacks, but it can also temporarily disable the opponent's weapon, making it an excellent and unconventional technique.

Because if the right moment is missed, the user who raises their foot will only have one foot on the ground, resulting in a significant loss of balance. If the opponent seizes the opportunity, the outcome will be dire.

After slicing open the Corrupted Monk's neck, Lu Ye immediately pressed his advantage, the Mortal Blade aimed directly at the Corrupted Monk's waist and abdomen.

The immortality of the broken monk comes from the parasites, just like Hanbei.

The Mortal Blade can only stop the wounds from healing when it damages the body; only by eliminating the worms inside her body will the Corrupted Monk truly die.

But the moment Lu Ye rushed forward, accompanied by a resentful wail, the broken monk's body vanished, and at the same time, a white mist filled the surroundings.

The fog was very thick, like a white canvas.

Suddenly—Danger!

Lu Ye turned around and swung his sword, deflecting the attack from the broken monk.

She had somehow gotten behind him, and just as Lu Ye was about to retaliate, the broken monk's figure vanished again, like raindrops falling into a pond and merging into the white mist.

"...An illusion?" Lu Ye's expression turned serious.

This is the power of the broken-monk: to create illusions.

In the vast expanse of white fog, Lu Ye could not see where the broken monk was hiding.

Only a few seconds had passed since the last attack when the character for "danger" reappeared.

This time, the broken monk emerged from the mist to Lu Ye's left and slashed at Lu Ye's neck with his sword.

Within the pure white fog, the black phantom figure was as black as lacquer, and the trajectory of the naginata being swung was like ink marks splashed by a brush.

Lu Ye shouted loudly,

In that instant, Lu Ye regretted it.

I regret not playing the game properly back then. I didn't memorize the bosses' moves or look up strategies...

Feng Lingyueying has caused a lot of harm...

But I only wanted to have some fun back then. Who the hell would have thought that one day I would be transported to this world and have to fight a broken monk with swords?!

The phantoms appeared more and more frequently.

Lu Ye understood the broken monk's plan.

She wanted to exhaust herself here and die.

Although there was rice given by Bian Ruoqingzi that could restore energy, Lu Ye didn't have time to eat any supplies in this environment; if he wasn't careful, he would lose his head.

But this can't go on forever.

Putting aside the issue of physical strength, Violet would be in danger if she were trapped here for a whole day.

what to do……?

Lu Ye's mind raced.

While pondering, he also dealt with the elusive phantom attacks from the renegade monk.

With a single slash, Lu Ye severed the illusion, gripping the Tear of Worship tightly in his right hand, preparing for the next attack.

But then, the wedge-shaped object in his left hand caught his attention.

Fine water droplets were dripping down the blade.

How could there be water on the knife?

Lu Ye was somewhat puzzled.

I've been exchanging blows with the broken monk since just now, so the blades should be hot.

Looking at the water droplets dripping from the wedge, Lu Ye suddenly realized something.

He took the oil can out of the storage space.

He brought this out of Ashina Castle before taking Violet to the dilapidated temple; it was specifically prepared to deal with the insect-infested ones, since red-eyed people are weak to fire.

As the phantom attacked again, he ran across the red bridge, simultaneously emptying the liquid from the oil tank.

—Danger!

A phantom appeared from above, a fierce slash.

However, Lu Ye did not block it. Instead, he used a grappling hook to hook onto a large tree by the bridge to avoid its attack. He waited for the phantom to disappear before falling down and pouring oil onto the bridge surface.

When the oil tank was almost empty, Lu Ye stopped in the middle of the bridge.

With his arms hanging slightly, the Mortal Blade and the Kusanagi were crossed.

"The little trick is over."

As Lu Ye spoke, the blades clashed, sparking tiny sparks.

"boom!"

In an instant, Zhu Qiao was engulfed by flames.

Previously, Lu Ye had always thought that the fog was an illusion created by a monk who had broken his vows.

But that's not the case.

The broken monk's ability is to create illusions, but this fog is real.

When Lu Ye noticed the water droplets on the Wedge Blade, he thought of something.

The temperature around us had dropped a bit since earlier. At first, Lu Ye didn't pay attention to it, but now it seems to be a trick by the monk who broke his vows.

Below the Zhu Bridge flows the rushing mountain stream. She somehow managed to transport the water up and atomize it. Because the massive atomization required heat absorption, the surrounding temperature dropped.

Create an illusion, then use white mist to conceal it, and attack Lu Ye.

Because Lu Ye carries the "fragrance of the source," the broken monk can easily distinguish his position even in the thick fog.

The fog was thus constantly dissipating, but it was quickly being filled again.

The phantoms began to appear more frequently. Lu Ye brandished his blade, fending off the phantoms' attacks while searching for the true form of the broken monk.

But there is a time limit.

The fire was large and spread very quickly.

If the broken-minded monk is not dealt with before the bridge burns down, the only path to the immortal realm will be cut off, and everything will be over.

However, the fact that only illusions have appeared for so long indicates that the broken monk is controlling the illusions, and the real body cannot make any big moves for the time being, so he must be hiding somewhere!

Just as Lu Ye opened his eyes wide, searching for that figure...

—Danger!

The character for "danger" is particularly bright red this time.

Because phantoms appeared simultaneously from Lu Ye's four directions: front, back, left, and right!

Chop, split, pick, stab.

The four phantoms each launched a different attack.

The black naginata, tinged with ink, sliced ​​through the white mist, like four wild dogs charging at a piece of meat in the center.

Lu Ye took a slow breath.

Then, using the power of both legs, he leaps high into the air, performing a perfect backflip.

—Xianfeng Temple, at the feet of the Bodhisattva.

This style of combat, which begins with a flying strike, combines aerial counterattacks with dodging low-level attacks. It is a signature technique of the Senpou Fist School. If one is enlightened, one can unleash a flowing series of attacks.

Leap up, then fall.

Centered on itself, the miasma of the Mortal Blade filled the surrounding area.

The illusion vanished into thin air.

In the instant he leaped to the top, Lu Ye caught a glimpse of the broken monk's true form.

The Mortal Blade was sheathed, and the Kusabimaru was held in his hand.

The moment he landed, he shot off like a bowstring released from its bow.

Visual observation and breathing exercises.

Giant Ninja Thrust!

Lu Ye's body broke through the white mist and arrived at the other end of the red bridge.

The broken monk had no idea that Lu Ye would keep gathering, and in his panic, he picked up his naginata and tried to fight back.

But it was too late.
