The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 352 The Fierce Fight

The cultivators of the Immortal Court turned out in full strength and wanted to have a mortal fight. They rushed out, regardless of casualties. That was both unexpected and reasonable. Narrowing his eyes slightly, Li Ye began to order the cultivators of the demon clan to counterattack and get ready to fight hand-in-hand.

The sporadic cultivators of the Immortal Court, who came in succession these days, were kept outside. Seeing Huang Jingyuan, Chen Jizhen, and the others rush out, they knew the decisive battle arrived.

Even though they were overwhelmed by the cultivators of the demon clan and the monks of the Land Buddhism, they all burst out of desperate and brave spirits at this moment. They came out from the cover and quickly rushed to the positions of their opponents from different directions.

The cultivators of the Immortal Court coordinated inside and outside and attacked their opponents on both sides. Although it wasn’t a big scene, they had great momentum. After all, it was a mortal fight. They launched the attack, regardless of casualties, so Li Ye and the others couldn’t underestimate them and had to respond with all spirits.

The cultivators of the demon clan and the monks of the Land Buddhism had been fighting against the cultivators of the Immortal Court for a long time. All of them kept their eyes on each other. Although the cultivators of the Immortal Court attacked suddenly and swiftly, they soon fought back accordingly after they dodged the first round of shooting arrows.

After the cultivators of the Immortal Court finishing shooting arrows, the cultivators of the demon clan and the monks of the Land Buddhism showed up from the cover and shot arrows toward the advancing cultivators of the Immortal Court, who were hiding behind the cover, in succession.

There were not many people of both sides at both offense and defense. The cultivators of the Immortal Court at the center were less than ten. Therefore, although they shot arrows at the same time, it was different from the “arrow rain”, and its momentum wasn’t big. But because of the existence of the Repeating crossbows, they couldn’t underestimate their attack.

The first round of arrows shot by each side caused one or two casualties to the other. Then, the cultivators of the demon clan and the monks of the Land Buddhism took out their swords and rushed out from the cover toward the cultivators of the Immortal Court.

Because the cultivators of the demon clan and the monks of the Land Buddhism laid siege to the Immortal Court, the battle line was roughly presented as a circle—to be exact, a complete combat unit was arranged in each of the four directions.

The so-called complete combat unit was a statement completely aimed at the battle method in the secret region. It was similar to the smallest military formation in the army, and it required the coordination of different roles. Here, a complete combat unit was composed of a Fuyuan crossbow at the commanding height, a Repeating crossbow for a sudden attack, a scout for guarding and supporting, and a commander.

Now, Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen focused on attacking the combat unit of the demon clan at the east with seven cultivators of the Immortal Court—there happened to be four cultivators of the demon clan. At the same time, this direction was also the closest to Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva.

The four cultivators of the demon clan were Yang Tingge, He Shuwen, Xiao Hei, and the other.

At this moment, nine against four, the number of the Immortal cultivators was overwhelming. While they were attacking, two people were injured, but one of them was only slightly injured because the other cultivators of the demon clan and the Land Buddhism were shooting arrows toward them. Therefore, when they reached Yang Tingge and the others, they still had high momentum.

He Shuwen, Yang Tingge, Xiao Hei, and the others all ran out from the origin, holding swords, axes, and other weapons. They confronted enemies while roaring. When they fought the enemies desperately, face to face, they no longer needed to divide the work, and all of them became shock workers.

“Kill them!” Yang Tingge, who was always stable and kind, rushed out excitedly with the ax, looking like a beast. He showed the true color of the demon clan completely, brave and fearless.

Of course, he knew the four of them couldn’t resist the cultivators of the Immortal Court.

But on the battlefield, they couldn’t retreat, without Li Ye’s command. Since the enemy chose to attack them, they had to step up and take the lead.

In any case, they had to delay the pace of the Immortal cultivators’ attack. Bloodshed and casualties were not in their minds now, because they had no choice.

Yang Tingge only hoped that the cultivators of the demon clan and the Land Buddhism in other directions could come to help as soon as possible and join the battle before they all died. Otherwise, all four of them would definitely die here.

This was the very moment of life and death.

For Yang Tingge, fortunately, Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen in the latter part of the formation didn’t fight personally and just let the cultivators of the Immortal Court in the former and the middle fight them first.

As he rushed forward, Yang Tingge kept staring at the cultivators of the Immortal Court in front of him.

As the two sides approached in the alley, his eyes finally locked on a cultivator directly in front of him. That was a middle-aged man. At the same time, the other side also looked at him cruelly. Their gazes met and fought in the air, and didn’t give in.

Yang Tingge knew that they would fight each other in full strength. Under the circumstances, only one of them would live and the other would definitely die in the battle.

“Go to hell!” Mobilizing his Spiritual Qi, Yang Tingge stamped his right foot on the ground and leaped seven paces up. Wielding his long ax, he chopped it down onto the cultivator of the Immortal Court, with a fierce and ferocious look.

While he fought desperately, Yang Tingge chose to give up the defense and launched the most powerful attack with all his cultivation and skills.

If this attack failed, he would inevitably be unable to resist the other side’s counterattack.

But he had no choice. There were so many cultivators of the Immortal Court that if he chose to fight continuously, he would be under siege. Only when he went all out to fight would he have a chance to survive.

The cultivator of the Immortal Court opposite Yang Tingge thought differently.

There were many of them, at least, at this moment, so he didn’t need to spare no effort to fight Yang Tingge without leaving leeway. For him, as long as he wasn’t defeated in the first round, his companions behind him would rush forward and kill Yang Tingge.

This was the wisdom of survival in the military formation and a wise fighting method. This was true even in a decisive battle. The soldier, who just kept rushing forward and left no room for offense and defense, would only die early on the battlefield.

This cultivator of the Immortal Court was obviously clever.

Unfortunately, he was facing Yang Tingge at this moment.

As an old man, Yang Tingge was experienced in fighting enemies, so he knew exactly what to do at any time. When it was time to fight desperately, he wouldn’t hesitate.

Their weapons hit together.

As the cultivator of the Immortal Court watched in astonishment, Yang Tingge suddenly shouted loudly with a fierce look flashing across his eyes. Several wisps of misty black and red light burst from the ax. Originally, the ax was just slightly more powerful than the Immortal cultivator’s long sword, but now, its impact increased greatly in an instant, and it pressed the long sword, like tides!

The ax continued to slide across the Immortal cultivator’s neck.

Blood splashed like a spring.

The cultivator of the Immortal Court opened his eyes wide in disbelief and fell to the ground. Half of his neck was cut off, blood running all over the ground.

Yang Tingge’s face turned abnormally red.

He made that deadly attack at the cost of his life.

His cultivation and that of the Immortal cultivator in front of him were at the same level. At that very moment, he survived in the fierce fight because he spared no effort to fight at the cost of his life.

Passing by Yang Tingge and the others who were fighting the cultivators of the Immortal Court fiercely, Li Ye’s calm and sharp eyes finally fixed on Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen who had not yet taken action.
