The Emperor Reigns Them All - Chapter 502

Chapter 502 The Decisive Battle (4)
For Li Ye, the current situation was not desperate, but he did not feel at ease.

At first, the cultivators of the demon clan were attacked head-on by the fierce beasts and they were at a disadvantage. Later, with the help of Zhao Batian’s masters of Zhenjiang City, the cultivators of the demon clan reversed the disadvantage and completely suppressed the fierce beasts. In the end, as the cultivators of the Immortal Court took action, the strength of both sides was roughly balanced.

Unfortunately, because the cultivators of the Immortal Court used the Demon-subduing Invocations, the cultivators of Zhenjiang City either died, were injured or ran away. Then the cultivators of the Immortal Court became an extra force.

If Li Ye could deal with them, the battle could still be a victory for him.

So he came forward.

He knew that this was the best time for him to take Zhao Batian’s cultivators under his command, while Zhao Batian was running away. The groundwork was laid, so he could not retreat because of his fear of challenges at this time.

The cultivators of Liuxi Town thought that they knew Li Ye very well, so they were not surprised at all when Li Ye came forward at the critical moment. After all, Li Ye had done this for them once. He came forward when the team was in need, which was in line with his noble personality and also with everyone’s expectation of Li Ye.

If Li Ye had not come forward, they would have been disappointed instead.

The cultivators of Liuxi Town took it for granted, but the cultivators brought by Zhao Batian did not think so. They were as shocked and touched as the cultivators of Liuxi Town, when they were rescued by Li Ye for the first time.

“As the cultivators of Liuxi Town said, Childe Li is a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for demons!”

“I did not believe it before. I did not expect that Childe Li would stay to fight with us instead of running away with his cultivation. Now I completely believe in him!”

“There are not many people like him!”

“Childe Li is very valiant. I am deeply touched!”

The cultivators were all talking at once to express their indescribable emotions. While the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage regarded Li Ye as a hero, the Great Cultivators looked incredulous.

Seeing Li Ye rushing to the immortals and fulfilling his promise with practical actions, they naturally would not wait to die. Their low morale immediately rose, and all of them used their most powerful means to fight the fierce beasts in front of them.

Not all the cultivators had boiling passions. A few Great Cultivators above the Spiritual Master Realm were not as optimistic as the ordinary demons.

A demon eagle said in a complicated tone, “Although Childe Li is determined to fight a bloody battle, the immortals are very powerful. He only has more than two hundred cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm and dozens of cultivators in the Immortal Realm, so how can he defeat more than two hundred Immortals?”

Next to him, a demon falcon sighed and said, “That is true. No one expected that so many immortals would be hiding in the beast tide. Furthermore, the fierce beasts seem to completely obey their orders! But because of this, Childe Li’s personality is unquestionable. He is really risking his life. Unfortunately, he is destined to die once he is deep among the immortals… Alas!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. No matter what, we must not retreat until the last moment of the battle. Otherwise, we won’t live up to Childe Li’s righteousness and sacrifice!” A demon cat in the Real Immortal Realm passed by them and rushed toward the fierce beasts in front of them.

The demon eagle and the demon falcon looked at each other and rushed out, combining both their strengths.

In the eyes of many Great Cultivators of the demon clan, Li Ye and the cultivators of Liuxi Town were sacrificing themselves and they would certainly be seriously injured by the immortals. However, in the eyes of the cultivators of the Immortal Court, the cultivators of Liuxi Town, who were rushing toward them, were looking for death.

Fortunately, more than half of the immortals were either chasing and surrounding the cultivators of Zhenjiang City or attacking the masters among the cultivators. Not many people were at Master Wei and Xu Beiwang’s side, so Li Ye and the others were not attacked head-on by them.

Master Wei glanced at Li Ye coldly with no emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at an ant. In his opinion, he disdained to fight a group of cultivators at the Ground Immortal Realm and the Sky Immortal Realm with three cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm.

Meanwhile, with a look of contempt, most of the immortals around him turned their heads and met the attack head on.

The immortal in the Great Completion of the Sky Immortal Realm, who blocked Li Ye, did not say anything or laugh or ridicule him. He just made incantation gestures with his fingers and pointed at Li Ye. Then the wind and clouds behind him changed, and countless flying swords condensed by Spiritual Qi attacked Li Ye like a storm!

If this powerful rain of flying swords fell among the cultivators of Liuxi Town, it would be enough to kill more than half of the demons in the Spiritual Master Realm.

“They underestimated me!” Facing the rain of flying swords that covered the sky and the sun, Li Ye showed a self-mocking smile, but without a self-mocking meaning in it. This immortal in the Sky Immortal Realm already spared no efforts to fight, but in Li Ye’s view, he had been underestimated since this immortal in the Sky Immortal Realm dared to block him.

Without any hesitation, Li Ye raised his Luke Sword and slashed away at the rain of flying swords all over the sky, looking very relaxed.

After devouring Zhao Batian’s and the immortals’ Magic Treasures, the Luke Sword had successfully risen to the middle stage of a high-ranking Magic Treasure and its power had been upgraded to a higher level. Li Ye’s strike seemed relaxed, but in fact, its surging Sword Qi was extraordinarily powerful.

When countless flying swords collided with the cyan Sword Qi, they disappeared for no reason, just like sparks hitting a flood. The rain of flying swords, which seemed to have the power of sweeping the heaven and earth, turned into small balls of air and disappeared in an instant.

The immortal in the Great Completion of the Sky Immortal Realm was stunned and there was horror in his eyes. He almost thought that he saw the wrong thing. Before he could figure out why a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm could break his technique with one strike, Li Ye’s second Sword Qi reached in front of him.

Although the immortal was frightened, he was calm in the face of danger. He repeatedly made incantation gestures with both hands. In the end, he held his sword in front of his chest and pointed at Li Ye again. Then his middle-ranking long sword met Li Ye’s Sword Qi.

When the long sword hit the Sword Qi, it was swiped away immediately and made a whining sound, as if it had been struck by lightning. As his life-bonded Magic Treasure was hit, the immortal spat out a mouthful of blood suddenly.

He retreated without any hesitation. After these two strikes, he now realized that he was no match for Li Ye!

He wanted to retreat, but Li Ye did not give him the chance.

When the third Sword Qi reached him, the immortal’s body was hit by the Sword Qi before he could even raise the Spiritual Qi Shield. His body-protecting Spiritual Shirt exploded, turning into fragments, and left his body. His body fell to the ground involuntarily and he died.Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club

After finishing the Three Buyue swords lessons from Nangong Diyi, Li Ye did not stop at all and attacked the cultivators behind the immortal in the Sky Immortal Realm. There were four or five cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm and two cultivators in the early stage of the Sky Immortal Realm.

They had no time to rescue the cultivator in the Great Completion of the Sky Immortal Realm who was killed by Li Ye. At this moment, while Li Ye was flying toward them intending to fight them alone, all of them flew into a rage and began to recite spells and launched techniques at Li Ye.

A cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm among them still had time to roar at Li Ye angrily. “How dare you be so arrogant! Go to hell!”

Before he finished speaking, he raised his palm and pressed it down on Li Ye. A huge snake suddenly appeared in the sky and pounced on Li Ye. The snake was more than 1,000 feet in length. Its body was extremely solid and it was hard to tell that it had been transformed from the Spiritual Qi. While it was flying, a series of explosive sounds were heard in the air and the wind was blowing wildly. It seemed to have the power to destroy cities and villages!

Li Ye judged by a glance that the cultivators below the Sky Immortal Realm could not resist this snake’s dash and would either die or be disabled, when it hit them.

In addition to this immortal in the Sky Immortal Realm, the techniques of the other immortals could not be underestimated either. Their combined attacks were more powerful. Even when a cultivator in the Great Completion of the Sky Immortal Realm faced such a combined attack, he had to dodge and did not dare to face the attack head-on.

However, Li Ye looked very calm, and his attack did not slow down at all, as if the approaching powerful immortal techniques were just a breeze.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly and he even smiled.

The independent cultivators of the demon clan only knew that the cultivators of Liuxi Town were lesser in numbers than the immortals and had no advantage in terms of the realm, so they judged that the cultivators of Liuxi Town would definitely die when they suddenly rushed forward to fight the immortals.

However, they did not know that Li Ye could defeat the cultivators in the so-called Ground Immortal Realm and Sky Immortal Realm in just one round.

What was the point of having so many immortals?Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club

As several immortals watched angrily, Li Ye suddenly disappeared. He did not really disappear, but his speed was too fast, even faster than the attacking speed of their immortal techniques. “Step-by-step Lotus!”

The several immortals suddenly felt cold all over, and every hair on their bodies felt uneasy. They were all in a state of panic, as if they had been targeted by a fierce beast. Of course, they knew that it was the feeling of ultimate danger!

However, before they could react, a lotus bloomed in front of them. Then, streams of sword light flashed like fireflies in summer. The immortals in the Sky Immortal Realm launched the life-saving immortal techniques at the last minute, while the immortals in the Ground Immortal Realm lost their consciousness in an instant. They could not resist and died under the sharp sword light.

After the seven strikes, all the immortals in the Ground Immortal Realm fell to the ground and the two immortals in the Sky Immortal Realm were seriously injured. They exclaimed and retreated. They were terrified. “What is this immortal technique? Why is it so powerful?”

“It is not the immortal technique that is powerful but the one who launched the immortal technique.” Li Ye landed in front of the immortal in the Sky Immortal Realm who spoke. The Luke Sword swept in an arc and skimmed his neck.

Just like the immortals in the Ground Immortal Realm, this immortal in the Sky Immortal Realm also lost his consciousness.

Before Li Ye chased and killed the other immortal in the Sky Immortal Realm, a stream of mighty Sword Qi suddenly came from the side. He pulled back his sword and blocked the Sword Qi. He could not help stepping back a few meters.

As he looked intently, he saw an immortal in the Real Immortal Realm rushing toward him. The cultivation fluctuation from the other side told Li Ye that he was an immortal at the latter stage of the Real Immortal Realm.

Obviously, Li Ye’s killing and injuring of several immortals attracted the immortals’ attention, so even though they knew that Li Ye was just in the Ground Immortal Realm, they still sent an immortal at the latter stage of the Real Immortal Realm.

After all, the most powerful one was the one in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. In that case, Master Wei and Xu Beiwang had to fight him personally.

The cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm was surprised that Li Ye could dodge his attack. He asked with a gloomy face, “Who are you?” It was very rare for a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm to kill a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm, and he was also able to dodge his accumulated attack, so he should not be a mere nobody.

Li Ye’s lips curled in a sneer and he waved his Luke Sword. “The one who is going to kill you.”

“You court death!” The immortal in the Real Immortal Realm instantly flew into a rage. “Since you don’t want to live, I will send you to hell!” With that, he straightened his features and pointed his long sword at the sky. He repeatedly made incantation gestures with his left hand. A stream of purple Sword Qi went straight up to the sky. “Five Thunderbolts on the Head!”

At the end of the purple Sword Qi, wind and clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed from time to time, and thunder was heard. As runes flew to the whirlpool from the long sword, the invocations soon shone brightly all over the clouds.

Li Ye went forward with the sword in his hand. He wanted to kill or injure the other side before the other side could fully launch the immortal technique. At the very least, he wanted to prevent him from launching it. After all, just by looking at this, he knew that it would be powerful.

Facing Li Ye’s sudden advance, the immortal in the Real Immortal Realm smirked and suddenly retreated.

Li Ye’s sword hit nothing. At this time, a powerful fluctuation of Spiritual Qi came from the top of his head, forcing Li Ye to shift his body.

“Boom.” The purple thunderbolt fell beside Li Ye, making a violent explosive sound. The scattered waves of Spiritual Qi made Li Ye shift away. Li Ye frowned and narrowed his eyes. In his sight, the immortal in the Real Immortal Realm smirked more, and he gradually sneered, as if he was sneering at Li Ye’s over-confidence.

As powerful waves of Spiritual Qi came successively from the top of his head, Li Ye was forced to move again.

Instantly, purple lightning poured down from the clouds. Countless thunderbolts fell and sounded beside Li Ye, so he had to launch the movement technique to barely avoid the continuous thunderbolts.

The thunder and lightning connected into a curtain and fell like heavy rain. Even though Li Ye’s movement technique was good, he was hit by two purple thunder bolts. He blocked one with his Luke Sword, but the other fell directly on his back, making his scalp numb and his long hair curl. The smell of burning came from his back, and he felt a burning pain.

This cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm was more difficult to deal with than the ones Li Ye had encountered before. Not only were the demon tiger of the Star Pavilion and the demon python of the City Lord’s Mansion in Panfeng City, but also ordinary immortals in the Real Immortal Realm no match for him.

Among other things, the feeling of the “Five Thunderbolts on the Head” was very unpleasant.

Calmly enjoying Li Ye’s uncomfortable looks, the immortal sneered and said in a condescending tone, “Enjoy my thunder formation! Don’t worry. The thunderbolts will not stop until you die. You have plenty of time to taste the feeling of death, step by step. If you are afraid, you should remember not to be an enemy of the immortals and not to provoke an immortal in your next life. Otherwise, you can’t bear the consequences!”

Like a lone boat in the towering waves, Li Ye kept dodging the thunderbolts and it seemed as if he would fall at any time.

Hearing the immortal’s complacent declaration, Li Ye shook his head and sighed. He looked at the other side with sympathy. “To think oneself superior to others is a vice of every ruling class and this vice is especially evident in you immortals, making you lose your ability to judge things fairly. If your eyes had not been blinded by this vice, you should see that things are not what you think.”

While saying this, Li Ye suddenly stopped and let the purple thunderbolt hit his body.
