Lu Ye felt that he was becoming more and more skilled at assassination.
Before the opponent even realizes it, there are countless weaknesses, so there's no need to spend time and effort searching for the opponent's flaws during a sword fight.
No matter how skilled one is in martial arts, it's impossible to deal with a sudden sneak attack.
But at that moment...
—Danger!
Lu Ye looked up at the sky and saw a ball of lightning flying straight down from the sky.
It was a ball with a leather exterior and rice bran inside.
The ball itself is ordinary, but it carries the power of lightning.
Standing on the branches of the enormous cherry tree beneath the palace was a beautiful woman named Oka.
She is Jing, the leader of the Yujiami women.
She noticed the anomaly in the courtyard, leaped up, and kicked the ball, imbued with the power of lightning, towards Lu Ye.
Keju (ancient football) is a daily recreational activity for the female warriors of Fountainhead Palace.
But their entertainment can be used to kill.
Dancing can grant one the power of lightning.
Cuju (ancient Chinese football) honed their powerful kicks.
Lu Ye leaped into the air, his feet barely touching the ground, and immediately drew his sword.
The ball was sliced cleanly, and the power of lightning was attached to the blade.
Jing's actions caught the attention of the female warriors outside the palace.
In an instant, the female warriors rushed over.
Their movements were graceful and swift.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ye used the grappling hook to reach the main hall.
Now that we've been discovered, there's nothing we can do.
Lu Ye did not stop in the face of the surging female warriors.
Using the grappling hook to grip the roof, Lu Ye continued to ascend, using his revolver to kill several Okami samurai armed with bows and arrows in mid-air, finally arriving at the gates of the palace.
The arrow was pulled out of the left shoulder, and the wound slowly healed.
The ranged enemies have been dealt with; now it's just the female samurai wielding swords.
The beautiful female warriors from Oka rushed in from the various intersecting platforms below, carrying an overwhelming killing intent. Anyone who dared to trespass into the Fountainhead Palace must be annihilated!
Lu Ye pulled out a Gatling gun without any expression.
The palace gates are closed; there is no way to reach the divine realm from here.
He chose this location because it was the only main road leading into the palace, and he had the advantage of being on higher ground.
The cylinder began to spin, bullets gushed out, and spent cartridges bounced on the ground.
The beautiful female warriors of Yuga had never seen anything like it before. In an instant, more than ten of them fell one after another. The high-speed spinning bullet easily tore through their armor and created a cavity effect inside their bodies.
However, the advantage of firearms did not last long.
Another ball, imbued with the power of lightning, flew in from the horizon.
Lu Ye had no choice but to abandon the Gatling gun and use Lightning Reflection to deflect the current in all directions. Upon landing, he immediately reached for the machine gun, but froze. The Gatling gun's barrel was already slightly twisted, and its surface was flickering with a faint yellow current.
Lu Ye thought to herself, "So that's how it is." Jing had already noticed the lightning return she used in the courtyard. The second ball she kicked wasn't aimed at her, but rather she wanted to use the lightning return to destroy the machine gun.
Jing created an excellent opportunity for her people.
With the machine guns no longer a threat, they rapidly closed the distance between themselves and Lu Ye.
"……bring it on."
Lu Ye pulled out the wedge-shaped object and poured the last bit of oil from the oil can onto it, giving it a simple "enchantment," since the armor of the Yujia warriors was mostly made of rattan and bamboo, which was extremely flammable.
Sparks flew as the Kusabi Maru and the Mortal Blade clashed, and the blades burst into flames.
Lu Ye charged forward amidst the roars of the female warriors.
With the blade flowing like water, Lu Ye used the high ground to fight against numerous beautiful female warriors of Yujia all by himself.
He uses the longer "Bai Lei" as his main weapon for attack, and the shorter "Wabi-maru" for defense.
The two swords were wielded in concentric circles centered on Lu Ye. The outer circle was formed by the Mortal Blade, while the inner circle was formed by the attack range of the Kusanagi.
One is long and the other is short, making it suitable for both offense and defense.
Lu Ye brandished his twin swords with wide, sweeping strokes, each drop of blood and sweat clearly visible, seemingly strung together in the air.
Senpou-ji Temple foot, Ashina-dake, Tomoe-dake...
This is a fight to the death, and Lu Ye will stop at nothing to win.
Wielding twin swords, their fierce attacks momentarily overwhelmed the beautiful female warriors of Okuga.
They hadn't expected that the stranger wielding the Mortal Blade's moves would contain elements of their own light swordsmanship, as if he knew their moves perfectly, understanding their strengths and weaknesses.
Lu Ye fought with increasing ferocity. Even though his tiger's mouth was cracked and his body was covered in knife wounds, he would continue to fight.
His style of use can be described as a model of dual-wielding; his explosive power never stops the blades in his hands, with only two exceptions.
One option is for the enemy to be completely wiped out, and the other is for oneself to fall.
Otherwise, these two swords, which never cease their attacks, would continue to wield until they slaughter the enemy.
Cherry blossom petals danced in the air.
The blade scattered sparks, which vanished in an instant.
At this moment, the leader Jing also arrived. She ducked to avoid the sweeping Undying Slash, then changed her footwork and circled around to Lu Ye's front, slashing three times in succession.
With a crisp "ding," Kusabimaru blocked Shizuka's three consecutive attacks head-on, while simultaneously unleashing a horizontal slash around his body, forming a circle that forced Shizuka to retreat violently.
As time went on, the Okami samurai were horrified to discover that they were completely unable to break through Lu Ye's defenses; both his elegant swordsmanship and his lightning powers were neutralized by him.
At first, Lu Ye was still at the palace gate, but now he had fought his way to the middle of the long steps, with corpses all behind him and blood flowing down the steps.
The number of personnel was decreasing, but Lu Ye's offensive showed no signs of weakening.
Jing desperately resisted Lu Ye's attacks, while inwardly exclaiming that this was impossible.
That kind of offensive requires a huge amount of physical exertion.
How did this person in front of me manage to do that?
In a fleeting moment during the clash of swords, Jing saw Lu Ye's eyes.
Then, she sensed the determination in that gaze.
It wasn't a joy in killing, but rather like a moth lost in the darkness seeing the light; even if it would destroy it, it would still rush towards it without hesitation.
The stranger's violent swordsmanship was as if he were burning his own life away.
In fact, Lu Ye was indeed doing just that.
He relied on his immortality to push his body to its limits.
Finally, he descended from the top to the bottom of the steps and reached the end.
His lungs greedily inhaled the air, Lu Ye was covered in blood, and behind him, on the wide steps, lay the corpses of female warriors.
Before him, including Jing, were about half of the Okami warriors, some of whom had just arrived from the distant pagoda.
They all laid down their weapons and knelt before Lu Ye in submission.
Although half the people remained, they already knew very well that they had lost.
Continuing the fight will only increase the number of deaths.
Their original purpose in coming to the Immortal Realm was to pursue immortality.
In pursuing immortality, one ends up dying instead, which is putting the cart before the horse.
Having lived here for a long time, they knew in their hearts that Fountainhead Palace was actually doomed. Without fresh blood entering, it would one day become a ghost town.

Lu Ye looked at the female warriors in front of him and flicked his wrist.
The tip of the blood-dripping blade, the Wedge-shaped Maru, lifted the leader Shizuka's chin.
It was a strange face. Originally, these people were all beauties like Tomoe, but their appearances had long been altered by the Fountainhead Water.
Is there any other way to open the door?
“No…” Jing said. “Only those who are chosen can enter the palace… We are only responsible for protecting the princes and nobles.”
"Tsk."
Lu Ye scoffed, sheathed his blade, and walked down.
In fact, Lu Ye knew how to get inside.
The solution was to go underwater; there was an underwater passage that led to the interior of the palace.
Arriving at the platform to the lower left of the main hall, Lu Ye saw a tall, noble man dressed in blue official robes. Beside him was an old woman with a white ribbon around her waist.
"Oh oh oh oh..."
He did not launch an attack after seeing Lu Ye.
"Are you... here to feed the fish...?"
"The King of Fish...is...very noble..."
As he spoke, he threw fish bait into the water.
The bait was cultivated by the residents of Mibu Village and was intended for the King of Carp.
Unlike the tall, nobleman, the old woman's cloudy eyes seemed to regain their spirit after seeing Lu Ye.
"This young man..."
