The power of the 18th Dao against a newly ascended Dao Fusion, even if he can't win, holding them off shouldn't be an issue. Lu Ye is confident in this.
Moreover, he has the Talent Tree Avatar to slay the Dragon Spine cultivators, thereby creating conditions for Qing Yu and others to escape.
What he didn't expect was that due to Mann Shan's underestimation, his first strike severed an arm.
Furthermore, after a few clashes, he discovered that although he was not the opponent, the enemy was not as strong as imagined.
This made him have more ideas!
The group with Qing Yu is quite decent; he wouldn't stay here forever. Even if he protects them this time, if Mann Shan doesn't die, Qing Yu and others won't have peace in the future.
Moreover, with the Dao Fish about to emerge, how could he take over the Dao Pool without killing Mann Shan?
So only by killing him can he obtain these benefits.
