The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 301 Reinforcements

Crouching-tiger Arhat basically had no time to react, and his head was cut off by Li Ye’s sword. After he fell to the ground, his primordial spirit was still in shock. Crouching-tiger Arhat didn’t expect that an immortal would be killed by a mortal.

Actually, Crouching-tiger Arhat and the others who descended to the human world with Feihong Bodhisattva were to take the wisp of Luck of heaven landing in Taiyuan from the Immortal Court, and they just dealt with Li Ye by the way.

Crouching-tiger Arhat’s primordial spirit stared at Li Ye when his neck was grabbed by Li Ye, like a chicken. He could feel Li Ye’s murderous intent, so he shouted with anxiety, “I’m an immortal in the Land Buddhism, and you’re just a mortal. How dare you kill me! Aren’t you afraid of the anger of the Land Buddhism so that you will die instantly?”

“No matter who you are, where you come from, or whose henchman you are, I will destroy your soul and spirit if you dare to stand in my way!” Li Ye said coldly with no emotions in his eyes. The Spiritual Qi in his hands built up, like a burning flame. Crouching-tiger Arhat’s primordial spirit twisted and struggled, but he could not get rid of Li Ye’s hand.

“Bang.” Before long, Crouching-tiger Arhat’s primordial spirit was crushed directly. His soul and spirit were destroyed.

Patting his hands, Li Ye looked calmly at the other monks who were in the Land Buddhism, like looking at the dead.

Without hesitation, the monks launched their techniques and attacked Li Ye in succession.

Half a quarter later, all the monks in the Land Buddhism, who besieged Li Ye, were dead on the ground, with no exception.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Hedong Army were horrified and immediately ordered their troops to retreat. But they were facing the high-spirited Zhaoyi Army who was desperate to launch a counterattack. Kang Chengqian naturally wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity, so he took the lead in charging forward with his troops.

Without the help of the monks in the Land Buddhism, the Hedong Army was soon defeated by the counterattack. 10,000 troops either died or surrendered. This time, Li Ye didn’t let any soldier flee back to Qinzhou.

It was late after the battle. After cleaning up the battlefield, the troops set up camps in situ.

After arranging everything, Kang Chengqian immediately rushed to Li Ye’s camp and asked to see him. In today’s battle, not only Kang Chengqian but also the Zhaoyi soldiers saw Li Ye’s strength. He killed dozens of monks who were in the Spiritual Master Realm, and he even beheaded Crouching-tiger Arhat. They could do nothing but be awed by Li Ye and admire him.

Li Ye leaned against a big chair and looked at the little Dragon Lady in the camp with great interest. She was the child with Feihong Bodhisattva. Li Ye didn’t kill her because her status was high and he still had something to ask her.

The little Dragon Lady had two little dragon’s horns on her forehead. She blushed and stared at Li Ye with deep hatred, looking as though she wished to eat him alive. She twitched her mouth and bared her teeth from time to time, seemingly ready to fight Li Ye desperately at any time.

Li Ye didn’t intend to play the wit game with a little girl. Moreover, she just looked young, but actually, she, at least, had lived for thousands of years. Li Ye asked directly, “How many people in the Land Buddhism have come? What realms are they in?”

The little Dragon Lady sneered. “Do you think I will tell you?”

Li Ye smiled. “Why not?”

The little Dragon Lady snorted. Raising her delicate chin, she sneered unceremoniously. “You’re just a mortal. Don’t think that you can oppose the immortals just because you’ve won two fights. I advise you to release me as soon as possible, or when Bodhisattva recovers, it will be your time to die! At that time, you’ll never be reincarnated because of the sin you’ve made!”

Li Ye closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Stretching out his hand, he grabbed the little Dragon Lady through the air. He looked at her calmly and asked earnestly, “Why couldn’t you talk nicely? Why did you have to provoke your opponent? Why couldn’t you use your mind and recognize the situation?”

With each sentence he said, he increased the strength in his hand, and the body of the little Dragon Lady, who was grabbed through the air, shrank, with her bones creaking. She was like a sponge. Her blood was gradually squeezed out. She was going to become a dry sponge.

The little Dragon Lady even couldn’t struggle. Li Ye looked at her and said in the same tone, “Now answer my question, and you only have one chance. Of course, you can choose to squander this chance. I don’t necessarily have to get the answer from you.”

Li Ye loosened his hand, and the little Dragon Lady fell to the ground, like a dumpling. She was as limp as mud, her bones shattered, and her clothes were stained with blood. She couldn’t sit up at all. Her pale face pressing against the yellow mud, she was puffing and trembling, with no hatred or anger but fear and despair in her eyes.

“All the 18 arhats in the Land Buddhism have come, and they’re in the Ground Immortal Realm. And there are many followers who are in the Spiritual Master Realm... Bodhisattva is in the Sky Immortal Realm, but she is not the only one...” the little Dragon Lady said in a broken voice, vomiting blood.

The people from the Land Buddhism were more powerful than Li Ye had thought, but he didn’t fear. Along the way, even though he didn’t have an undead body, he experienced countless bloody battles, so he gradually became proud and confident to be invincible.

When the little Dragon Lady finished talking about what she knew, Li Ye waved his hand and let someone take her away.

“You... really don’t kill me?” The little Dragon Lady, who was covered with blood, was helped up and looked at Li Ye with confusion. Her breath was faint and she didn’t expect that she would live. She told the truth just because she wanted to die without being tortured. She couldn’t understand why Li Ye didn’t intend to kill her.

Li Ye opened a book without looking at the little Dragon Lady. “It makes no difference to me whether I kill you or not. It depends on my mood.”

The little Dragon Lady’s expression changed. She understood what Li Ye meant. She was too weak to be taken seriously, just like a person wouldn’t take a fly seriously. If he was happy, he would let it go; if he was unhappy, he would kill it.

When Kang Chengqian entered the camp, the little Dragon Lady was being taken out. He just glanced at her and didn’t pay attention to her. In the camp, Kang Chengqian asked Li Ye for instructions on how to attack Qinzhou.

“Attack the city according to the plan. The other side has many masters, so it won’t be easy to attack Qinzhou. What we encountered today is just appetizers, so the Zhaoyi Army has to prepare for the bitter battle,” Li Ye said to Kang Chengqian.

What he said was obviously out of Kang Chengqian’s expectation. It was already difficult enough for the troops to deal with Crouching-tiger Arhat they encountered today, so it was impossible for the Zhaoyi Army to fight more powerful ones. But Kang Chengqian didn’t say anything, and he didn’t look worried either. He just looked at Li Ye full of hope.

As expected, what Li Ye was going to say next made Kang Chengqian relieved. “I’ll fight when the time is right.”

Kang Chengqian laughed, full of confidence. “As long as you’re willing to fight, our troops are bound to win!”

Li Ye had no desire to listen to flattery, so he waved his hand and let Kang Chengqian go and prepare. Without hesitation, Kang Chengqian went to announce the military order immediately.

After Kang Chengqian left, the Son of God went into the camp happily. He smiled at Li Ye with a bad intention. Rubbing his hands, he giggled and said, “Your Highness Prince An, there is something I need to discuss with you.”

Li Ye knew that the Son of God must be up to something. But he showed his intention so obviously that Li Ye couldn’t refuse directly without asking. “Tell me.”

The Son of God sat down beside Li Ye, holding his shoulder, and began to talk, “Feihong Bodhisattva is famous in the Land Buddhism. She must bring a lot of monks who are in the Immortal Realm to come to Hedong this time. Well, among us, only you can compare with the monks who are in the Ground Immortal Realm. None of the others, including me, can fight against the monks who are in the Immortal Realm. We are going to attack Qinzhou. At that time, the monks in the Land Buddhism must be out in force. I’m afraid that we can’t even run away, to say nothing of resisting them!”

Li Ye glanced at the Son of God. “Do you want to ask for reinforcements?”

Feeling shocked, the Son of God leaned backward. “How do you know?”

Li Ye rolled his eyes. “If the demon clan wants to go out into the world, how could they just send you out? The previous opponents were not powerful enough, so you were enough to suppress the situation. But now, the monks in the Immortal Realm of the Land Buddhism have come, and the Immortal Court won’t sit idly by, so you’re certainly not powerful enough to deal with them.”

The Immortal Court knew that the demon clan had joined forces with Li Ye, so they certainly wouldn’t sit idly by. Li Ye didn’t know whether the two sides had already had a fight in the real headquarters of the demon clan. But the Son of God looked easy and comfortable in daily life, so even if they had a fight, it wouldn’t be serious. After all, the Immortal Court focused on dealing with the foreign immortals at present.

Hedong was turbulent now. The demon clan had to send reinforcements, unless they didn’t want to compete for that wisp of Luck of heaven.
