The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 336 One Palm and One Sword

The Holy Child shook his head, and replied in a cold voice, “If it were an ordinary cultivator, the True-fire of Samadhi is indeed an incomparable weapon. But the opponent is Feihong Bodhisattva. If she just dips that willow branch in her jade bottle and then sprinkles a few drops of water, the power of True-fire of Samadhi will be greatly reduced.”

This was target suppression.

Li Ye was not too disappointed.

Feihong’s jade bottle was already powerful, and it had infinite functions. Li Ye not only heard about it, but also experienced it for himself. After all, the other party was Feihong Bodhisattva, and it was reasonable that the Holy Child was not to be able to do anything in front of her.

Li Ye groaned slightly, “If nothing else, can you deal with Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan?”

The Holy Child took a look at Li Ye. “Again, I have no qualms with dealing with anybody else, but Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen have special magic weapons for suppressing the demon clan. Everything has a neutralizer, the True-fire of Samadhi is powerful but not invincible.”

Li Ye was a little bit dissatisfied when he heard this. “So the only thing it’s good for is to burn off a few hairs off the monkey?” If that were true, he really felt for the monkey.

The Holy Child was a little shocked, his faced then darkened and said, “You don’t really think the monkey is helpless against my True-fire of Samadhi, do you?”

This time it was Li Ye’s turn to be shocked. “Monkey can deal with your True-fire of Samadhi?”

The Holy Child’s face was even darker. “It is difficult for him to extinguish my fire, but I cannot burn him either. He is the seventh sage of the demon clan, a Daluo Golden Immortal, and a hero who made trouble in the Immortal Court. How could he be burned by me?”

Li Ye’s expression was weird, but after some thinking, it made sense. The Holy Child’s True-fire of Samadhi was said to have derived from the Lord Lao Zi, which was very powerful. But the monkey was also a figure who had cultivated his burning eyes in the eight trigrams furnace. If the True-fire of Samadhi was really so powerful, then the monkey would have been burned to the death in the eight trigrams furnace during the forty-nine days he was locked in.

There was no need to delve into the details any further. The history of this realm was far different from that of earth. As far as earth was concerned, it was merely a dramatic episode when the monkey caused havoc in heaven. But here in this realm, the monkey acted in cooperation with Ying Zheng when he caused havoc in heaven, which really caused great damage to the Immortal Court.

Setting this aside, Li Ye looked at Feihong Bodhisattva and Huang Jingyuan.

The Feihong Bodhisattva’s coercion of cultivation was released without any reservation. Although she was also of the Sky Immortal Realm, her power was very different from Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan’s realm. It was the kind of Sky Immortal Realm that seemed able to step into the Golden Immortal Realm at any time. With such cultivation, even at Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan’s heyday, they would not dare to say that they could win, much less now that they were hurt.

Seeing what was going on, Li Ye’s mind was slightly burdensome. It seemed that even with the suppression of the Immortal Court Secret Skill, after resting for a period of time, her cultivation was frightening enough. She was Feihong Bodhisattva! Focusing on the cultivation of Feihong Bodhisattva, the fighting method between Land Buddhism and the Immortal Court must also be wonderful.

The coercion of Feihong Bodhisattva was so heavy that Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan were unable to make any rash movements.

Now was the best time to attack for Feihong Bodhisattva.

But Feihong Bodhisattva did not immediately attack.

Because in the southern sky, a meteor shower composed of dozens of lights were rushing here quickly.

It was the other figures of the Seventy-two Earth Devils.

Since the Taiyuan Buddhist monks and the demon clan cultivators in the camp outside the city were all able to get here, there was no reason the seventy-two Earth Devils would suffer defeat at the hands of their opponents. Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen came to Hedong to kill Li Ye, not to die.

Chen Jizhen might be arrogant enough and act rashly. But with Huang Jingyuan’s wisdom, he would not let the seventy-two Earth Devils go too far to avoid too many people acting together and causing Li Ye to take precautions. This way, at least he could guarantee timely support when it was necessary, as it was now.

Seeing the seventy-two Earth Devils appear one after the other, Li Ye had predicted the gathering of the three parties and that it would become a stalemate situation. Although Feihong Bodhisattva was powerful, she was only one individual after all. Under his attack, the Land Buddhism Immortals had already lost more than a dozen masters in Ground Immortal Realm. Thus their overall strength was far inferior to the seventy-two Earth Devils.

Yet Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan, who led the seventy-two Earth Devils, were seriously injured at the moment because of Li Ye’s unexpected schemes. And they had no more fighting power. If they forcibly attacked, no matter what the outcome of the war was, they would fall, which was not the situation they wanted to see.

The strength of Li Ye and demon clan cultivators, on the surface, they were the weakest, but neither the Land Buddhism nor Immortal Court could really ignore them and bet on it.

Li Ye sighed secretly, today’s battle was doomed to be a flash in the pan.

Although this was not what Li Ye wanted, he had no alternative. He had paid enough attention to the Immortal Court’s movements, and used his superiority beyond the norm to set an ambush. He also successfully trapped Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan, but the opponent’s strength was still strong. That they failed to kill Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen at the beginning meant that it would be difficult to kill them in the future.

The battle of Taiyuan City seemed to be a tripartite battle.

Li Ye wasn’t too worried though.

Because he had more pressing things to worry about.

Taking advantage of the battle situation in Taiyuan, Zhu Wen might send troops to Pinglu and capture Li Ye’s backyard.

From a strategic point, this was entirely possible, and it was a very profitable choice.

Although the Immortal Court cultivators led by Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan might not do so.

Because they considered themselves superior and that they could kill Li Ye easily. So they did not think it was necessary to make the effort.

And the Immortal Court’s number one goal should be to grab the Luck of Tao of Heaven, so capturing Taiyuan City was the top priority.

However, Li Ye could do nothing of how Zhu Wen would choose.

In a nutshell, the next round was not good for Li Ye.

Li Ye was completely solemn.

But then, his pupils suddenly contracted.

In a split second, his eyes were full of surprise, even shock.

Things were changing on the battle front.

Feihong Bodhisattva attacked.

Li Ye thought she would not attack.

He was wrong.

After the Feihong Bodhisattva was ready, she slammed into Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan with her palm.

This palm attack was neat and natural. Her action flowed like water and clouds. There were no flaws in the artistic conception. It was perfect to the extreme, giving people an artistic audiovisual enjoyment.

But just because it was so natural, it surprised everyone.

Everyone thought that Feihong Bodhisattva would stop when the seventy-two Earth Devils appeared. At least she would have to slow down and think about it, then make a clear judgment of the situation before deciding whether to attack. But she didn’t. So no one expected that, and no one was in defense mode.

Neither Chen Jizhen nor Huang Jingyuan.

They were waiting to negotiate with Feihong Bodhisattva, at least say a few words.

Honestly, no one was a stranger to each other because of the monkey.

By the time they had reacted, the huge blue wave palm from the sky had fallen.

Both Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan trembled, and thought they were in trouble. But they were also angry.

No matter what their mood was, there was no time to dodge at this time.

The two roared at the same time, barely launching the eight trigrams plate and streamer. However, the light of the two Magic Treasures had not yet bloomed, and the water-like blue wave palms had already exploded on the light shield and the tornado.

Turbulent waves erupted in midair along with a huge explosion of the Spiritual Qi. Rolls of Spiritual Qi waves had been blasted, covering a radius of several hundred meters!

There was only a water column like Spiritual Qi tide rising from the center of the explosion. Everything else was a blur.

When the eruptions ceased, the light faded slightly, and the eight trigrams plate and streamer flew from the center of the water column-shaped Spiritual Qi tide. Also flying out were Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan. They both sprayed the blood. On the other side, the Feihong Bodhisattva who burst out the palm was calm, and slowly retracted her palm.

She stretched out her other hand and grabbed the air. She was about to get the eight trigrams plate and streamer in her hand.

They were sharp weapons that the Immortal Court gave to Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan, and they could use them to wipe out the demon clan and cultivators of the same realm!

However, Feihong Bodhisattva did not catch the eight trigrams plate and streamer.

Because someone tried to snatch it at the same time as her.

Li Ye.

His figure suddenly appeared in the midst of the Spiritual Qi tide and was still surging. He was headed straight for the eight trigrams plate and streamer.

Feihong Bodhisattva’s eyes were stern.

She pressed down with one hand.

A huge blue wave palm fell from the sky again.

The palm quickly reached the top of Li Ye’s head.

Li Ye responded extremely quickly and wielded his sword to counter.

A stream of blue light broke through the sky.

It submerged into the center of the blue wave palm.

Ripples appeared across the palm.

The palm paused in the air, as if it was stuck.

But that was it. It was falling again.

Li Ye was pale, he had been injured previously, and after a slice with his sword, he had no more strength left.

Seeing that the palm was about to land on him.

Suddenly, a white spot appeared above the sky.

As soon as it appeared, it grew to over ten thousand feet in diameter!

That was because it was falling too fast!

It turned out to be a white beam of light!

Everyone’s ears were suddenly deafened by a ringing noise!

The blue wave palm vanished without a trace along with the eight trigrams plate and streamer.

Everyone disappeared.
