The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 353 You’re Not Dead, Are You?

Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen didn’t take action because their opponents were not Yang Tingge and the others but Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva behind them.

Yang Tingge and the other three people could slightly stop the cultivators of the Immortal Court, but they couldn’t stop Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen. When they fought the cultivators of the Immortal Court fiercely, Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen suddenly attacked Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva, directly across the battlefield.

It looked like they totally spared no effort to fight and could never stop fighting until they died.

Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva looked at each other.

As Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen rushed forward, they suddenly mounted their crossbows, aimed at Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva, pressed the triggers, and shot arrows. Whistling, two arrows flew toward Li Ye and Feihong Bodhisattva on the roof respectively!

The former dodged to the side, while the latter directly jumped off the roof to dodge it.

Her knees bent slightly as her feet touched the ground, her long hair falling to her shoulders. She held a one-meter long sword in her hand. She looked up ahead with sharp eyes. She leaped up from the ground, soil flying under her feet, and fought Huang Jingyuan fiercely.

Li Ye picked up the angular crossbow and casually shot Chen Jizhen who rushed toward him.

Li Ye didn’t know why Chen Jizhen was furious and aggressive. It seemed that Chen Jizhen wished to eat Li Ye alive, as if he felt irreconcilable hatred for Li Ye.

The sharp arrow went straight to Chen Jizhen who zigzagged and finally passed by his cheek.

Instantly, Chen Jizhen felt a pain in his cheek and ear. He touched his face and felt blood on it, which made him angrier, as if his eyes were going to crack. Staring at Li Ye, he said, “B*stard, you’ll die today!”

Chen Jizhen already arrived in front of him. Li Ye retrieved the angular crossbow in no hurry and took out his Luke Sword. Jumping off the roof, he wielded his sword straight to Chen Jizhen’s face in full strength!

Because his cultivation was suppressed in the secret region, Li Ye’s strike didn’t cause any anomalies. It seemed to be ordinary. At best, it appeared to be a little powerful by borrowing the force from Li Ye’s jump.

But when Chen Jizhen saw Li Ye’s strike, his pupils shrank sharply.

As the head of 72 Earth Devils, Chen Jizhen had a fiery temper, and he didn’t seem stable, but actually, he was powerful. Otherwise, he couldn’t have become lord of Earth Beast city. At this time, Chen Jizhen was a little shocked by Li Ye’s strike because he found that this strike contained the meaning of Tao!

All Great Tao led to the same destination.

The Way of Emperor Li Ye comprehended was naturally one of Tao.

Tao was the source of the world and the rule of all things. The power of Tao, even though only a little bit, couldn’t be underestimated.

Chen Jizhen quickly concentrated and steadied his breath. He stamped his rear foot on the ground, sank his waist, and made a horse stance in a lunge position. He shouted in a low voice. Mobilizing all his Spiritual Qi, he wielded his mace to meet the Luke Sword.

The Luke Sword and the mace buzzed and trembled in a small amplitude but high frequency as they hit together, as if they were about to break away from Li Ye’s and Chen Jizhen’s hands.

However, they hit together just for a second. Because of the great reactive force, Li Ye did a backward somersault in the air. He stamped his heels on a wall and bounced back like a monkey. His sword went straight to Chen Jizhen again.

That strike forced Chen Jizhen to take a few steps backward before he could stabilize his body. He took a deep breath. When he saw Li Ye rushing toward him again, he looked solemn and kept up his highest spirits.

Chen Jizhen didn’t expect that he wouldn’t get any advantage and they would be evenly matched in the battle. Even though Li Ye took advantage of the favorable position, it was still very incredible.

Now Chen Jizhen finally understood Huang Jingyuan’s feelings when he fought Li Ye and understood why Huang Jingyuan was so afraid of Li Ye suddenly.

After all, seeing was better than hearing. Now that he personally experienced Li Ye’s strength, Chen Jizhen had to admit that Li Ye was indeed powerful enough to be his opponent.

At this moment, Chen Jizhen no longer looked down on Li Ye but treated him equally. Even for most immortals, mortals were just as small as ants.

And only at this point, Chen Jizhen was sincerely convinced of Huang Jingyuan’s strategy. Previously, he had been thinking that Huang Jingyuan was too cautious and that he didn’t need to spend so much effort on dealing with Li Ye. But all seemed worthwhile now.

Chen Jizhen thought Huang Jingyuan certainly lived up to his name as a military counselor. He admired Huang Jingyuan.

Li Ye didn’t know what Chen Jizhen was thinking about. He kept attacking Chen Jizhen in high spirits yet calmly. He concentrated on defeating his opponent and at the same time, he kept his sanity.

In the continuous sword light, Li Ye was agile yet unrestrained, like a horse stepping on a flying swallow. His mind was also focused on feeling the power of Dragon Qi, and its cooperation with the Luke Sword resulted in the increase of power.

His comprehension of the Way of Emperor, like a fire, ignited more and more power inside his body. Like a lead, it also led the Dragon Qi that had its own consciousness and the Luke Sword to become stronger in the process of cooperation.

After each good fight, Li Ye felt that more power was ignited in his body. It was as if “Tao” was constantly stimulating his physical potential.

However, Li Ye didn’t have the chance to win Chen Jizhen this time, just the same as he couldn’t win Huang Jingyuan last time.

But unlike last time, Li Ye, who was at a disadvantage, wouldn’t be defeated so easily this time. Last time, if he continued to fight Huang Jingyuan for more than 100 rounds, he would be defeated, but now, he thought he could carry on much longer.

He might not even fail!

Realizing this, Li Ye had higher fighting spirits.

Even though the suppression of the cultivation in the secret region reduced the gap between Li Ye’s and Chen Jizhen’s power, the fact that he could do this proved that he was powerful enough.

While Li Ye was getting more and more excited, Chen Jizhen became more and more anxious and uncomfortable. Later, these emotions even appeared on his face without reservation, making his face look extremely distorted and ferocious.

Chen Jizhen knew Li Ye was powerful. He treated Li Ye equally and treated him as a real opponent, but he never thought that he couldn’t defeat Li Ye. After all, their cultivation was vastly different. After fighting for a long time, he couldn’t even suppress Li Ye, to say nothing of taking him down or injuring him seriously. Chen Jizhen was angry because of embarrassment and couldn’t accept that.

Chen Jizhen roared and launched a fierce attack without reservation.

Responding calmly, Li Ye kept moving and turning.

Not long after Li Ye fought Chen Jizhen, reinforcements came to help Yang Tingge and the others from left and right. To be fair, the reinforcements came very quickly, and as soon as they arrived, they immediately fought the cultivators of the Immortal Court. But for Yang Tingge and the others, that was far from enough.

Yang Tingge with a pale face sat on a pile of waste soil. His hands were at his sides, and blood ran down his arms, gathering under him. He had no strength to get up and could only look at his companions.

Several bodies fell on the left and right. Two were the cultivators of the Immortal Court and two were the cultivators of the demon clan.

He Shuwen and another cultivator of the demon clan died in the short, fierce fight just now. He Shuwen’s body was separated. One of his hands was lying in front of Yang Tingge’s feet, while the other hand connected to the headless body was lying in the left alley. His head went somewhere.

Seeing this, Yang Tingge was dejected.

He had seen so many partings in life or death at his age that ordinary situations couldn’t upset him very much. He Shuwen, however, was different. He was a good young man, gifted and polite. He liked him and valued him very much. He Shuwen was supposed to have a great future, but now he died here.

The grass beside him moved. Xiao Hei, who was covered with blood, climbed up and placed himself on a pile of waste soil, like a dead duck. He turned to look at Yang Tingge and said powerlessly, “Master Yang, are you OK?”

Yang Tingge twisted the corners of his eyes. “I don’t want to die yet.”

Xiao Hei breathed a sigh of relief. He grinned and showed his white teeth. He looked very happy. “You’re really powerful. But... I’m not...” While Xiao Hei was saying this, his head drooped, and then, he lay on the waste soil, motionless.

Yang Tingge was a little stunned. He was distracted for a long time. In the end, he sighed and looked at the cultivators of both sides who were fighting fiercely. Zuo Che’er was brave and agile, rushing left and right. He dodged quickly and launched sudden attacks cruelly. He made a brilliant combat performance.

Yang Tingge’s eyelids drooped gradually, but he smiled. “He is just like me when I was young!”

Then, he closed his eyes.

Motionless.

A while later, Xiao Hei, who was lying motionlessly, suddenly said, “You’re not dead, are you?”

Yang Tingge didn’t open his eyes. “Shut up. Since I’m seriously injured, I’m taking a rest.”

In addition, there were sporadic battles in all directions. They were the cultivators of the Immortal Court who came later and gathered around. Now they intended to rush to the center and coordinated with the men of Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen.

However, they were closely watched by the cultivators of the demon clan and the Land Buddhism previously, so they didn’t dare to show up. Although they rushed out desperately this time, it was very difficult to join their companions.

Originally, from four sides, the cultivators of the demon clan and the Land Buddhism laid siege to the cultivators of the Immortal Court at the center. Soon, they laid siege to the cultivators of the Immortal Court again. Previously, they suppressed them by crossbows, but now, they fought hand-to-hand.

In this way, it was only a matter of time before the destruction of all the cultivators of the Immortal Court.

While Li Ye was fighting Chen Jizhen, Huang Jingyuan was also fighting Feihong Bodhisattva fiercely.

Li Ye fought Chen Jizhen neck and neck, but Huang Jingyuan couldn’t resist Feihong Bodhisattva for a long time.

“Pfft.” Feihong Bodhisattva’s long sword skimmed Huang Jingyuan’s shoulder, carrying a large amount of flesh and blood with it! Huang Jingyuan fell backward several steps away before he could stand up in front of the wall.

“Feihong Bodhisattva, you really live up to your name. Even in today’s situation, I’m still no match for you,” Huang Jingyuan said with no panic on his face. Instead, he wore an expression of approval.

Feihong Bodhisattva just snorted and had no other reactions. She was still rushing toward him with her sword.

But at this moment, Huang Jingyuan suddenly took out something.

At the same time, Li Ye, who stood in front of Chen Jizhen, wielded his sword to distance Chen Jizhen and gave up fighting him.
