The Emperor Reigns Them All - Chapter 495
Chapter 495 Let’s Have an Arm-wrestling
After having annexed another group and taking in several cultivators of Real Immortal Realm, Zhao Batian’s team became more powerful, which made him feel very confident. He even suggested that they should destroy that beast’s den under his lead to earn him the title of the Ender of the Beast Tide.
“We still have cultivators who are hundreds of miles away from here. Let me summon them first.” Li Ye said to Zhao Batian. From what Zhao Batian had said, he surmised that this man had figured out the location of the beast’s den, which was good news for them.
There were thousands of beasts scattered in this area. Some of them had grouped. If Zhao Batian and others dealt with them one by one, it would be troublesome. But it was easier for them if they could kill the beasts’ leader.
It was not until then Li Ye realized the reason why there were so many wounded beasts he had never seen before, around the den they were attacking. They were defeated by Zhao Baotian’s team. They had many powerful cultivators, including three Taiyi Real Immortals. A normal beast squad would usually find these men unbeatable.
But Li Ye and Zhao Batian were the only team leaders in Blackstone Ridge sent to extinguish these beasts. If Li Ye and Zhao Batian succeeded, then Li Ye would not have the chance to meet more cultivators and recruit them.
Which would be his big regret.
But since the situation was like that, Li Ye did not plan to change it. The team with Zhao Batian was big enough. He was not that much in need of other cultivators.
Since there were many Qi-refining cultivators in Zhao Batian’s team, they could not march very fast. So Zhao Batian did many unreasonable things. He organized a tournament between the Great-cultivators for him to enjoy. He then demanded the female cultivators to serve him, which made the party very dissatisfied.
Li Ye had intended to do nothing. But when he saw Zhao Batian spitting in a female cultivator’s face because of her amateurish way of massaging him, he decided to do something.
The helplessness in her eyes made Li Ye more determined. He knew this female cultivator was a decent woman who healed other Qi-refining cultivators. But more importantly, she did not seem to be obsessed with Li Ye like the other girls, which made him think of her differently.
But it seemed to get worse when Zhao Batian asked her to spar with the other cultivators. Li Ye stood up immediately.
“Damn! He has gone way too far. I am the leader of the cultivators in Liuxi Town and their spiritual guide! I must punish this man, otherwise, my reputation will be destroyed.”
Hence, Li Ye walked over to Zhao Batian, the embarrassing righteousness plain on his face. “Zhao Batian, let go of her! Why don’t you dare to do anything to me!” He blazed at the bully.
Zhao Batian was baffled. He did not know why Li Ye suddenly said those words to him. After all, Li Ye had been showing him great respect along the road and he actually got well along with this man. Then he realized that this female cultivator was in Li Ye’s group. Then he shot Li Yan a look of disdain.
“What? You want to help this beauty?” Zhao Batian said with disdain.
Li Ye did not know where this man got his chair that was covered with a tiger-skin pelt. It seemed to be a flyable Magic Treasure which enabled Zhao Batian to sit on it so comfortably. “You are just at Ground Immortal Realm and you dare to challenge me?”
The sparrow covered his face with its wings when he heard that. Speechless, he looked up to the sky. He had never seen a man who courted danger so much.
Li Ye‘s eyes brightened when he heard those words. He had not expected that Zhao Batian would challenge him to a fight.
The anger on his face seemed more overwhelming. He sneered, “I don’t mean to offend everyone. But in my opinion, none of the cultivators of Ground Immortal Realm in your group can defeat me in arm-wrestling! If anyone can defeat me, I will eat my own faeces!”
Li Ye suddenly felt wired after he said it because he thought of that damn grey wolf. Then the resentment in his heart rose.
Zhao Batian was infuriated when he saw that Li Ye was even more arrogant than him. He lurched to his feet and pointed at Li Ye’s nose, “You are really out of your mind. I have never seen a man who is as overbearing as you! You will pay for your arrogance!”
Then he flailed his hands and said, “All the Ground Immortal Realm cultivators of City Lord’s Mansion, come to me and arm-wrestle with this man! He must be defeated!”
Soon a mass of Ground Immortal Realm cultivators gathered around him. The whole party stopped marching.
Li Ye looked around and sneered at Zhao Batian, “What is the reward if I win?”
“How about a slap in your face!” Zhao Batian’s face was purple with rage.
But he had to appear to be generous in front of all those cultivators since he was confident about his properties. He waved his hands and drew out a long spear of middle-class ranking. “This spear will belong to you if you win! I suppose you have never seen a middle-class ranking magic treasure like this before?”Updates by Novel Time Z
“You must keep your promise then. There are so many cultivators watching. It will be embarrassing if you don’t keep your words!”
“Insolent filth! I will never break any promise I made. Are you afraid? If you are, get out of here and eat your own excrement!” Zhao Batian sounded very angry.
“Okay!” Li Ye rolled up his sleeves and walked to the top of a hill. He drew his sword and flattened some rocks. Then he made one stone desk and two stone chairs with his sword. Next, he sat beside the desk and said arrogantly, “I am here. Who has the balls to challenge me?”
“Go and defeat him instantly!” Zhao Baotian bellowed angrily when he saw the arrogance on this man’s face.
“I will challenge you!” A demon in the form of a frog descended beside the table and held out his arms. He had an evil smile, “It seems that you are to eat your own excrement!”
LI Ye just smiled.
Under almost six hundred’s cultivators’ and thousands of Qi-refining cultivators’ eyes, Li Ye began arm-wrestling with this frog demon.
The sparrow sighed while shaking his head. “There are always fools who will fall into the same trap,” he said inwardly.
As he expected, the frog demon’s hand was pinned down to the table firmly after he struggled hard for some time. Li Ye seemed to have beaten his foe by a neck.
The frog demon blushed, seemingly eager to have another match because he thought he was about to win, but somehow he was defeated. He was still confused.
“Useless!” Zhao Batian sounded angry.
Li Ye guffawed with satisfaction. He looked with greed at the long spear in Zhao Batian’s hands. “Childe Zhao, you lost!”
“It’s yours now!” Under everyone’s eyes, Zhao Batian threw the spear to the ground. He was extremely infuriated. He bellowed at his group, “Choose a challenger! If you can’t defeat him today, none of you can return home unharmed!”
“I will do it!” A tiger demon descended.
Li Ye looked at Zhao Batian with a cold smile
“Seven-starred flame saber, a middle-class ranking Magic Treasure. You can have it if you win!” Gritting his teeth, Zhao Batian threw the saber on the ground this time.
Holding back his laughter, Li Ye praised this man, “Indeed Childe is a very generous man. It seems that you don’t seem to own any low-class ranking weapon. How wonderful!”
Half an hour later.
Li Ye drew the saber and run his finger along its edge, while smiling. He even taunted Zhao Batian, “Thank you, Childe Zhao. I have never seen such a fine blade!”
The tiger demon sat on the stone chair, his mind blank, because he did not know how he lost the contest.
The frog demon cried when he saw the scene. He finally thought someone could understand what he had been through.
“Damn you!” Zhao Batian was almost on a rampage. “Keep challenging him. Otherwise you can all suck it!”
Hence…
“Haha. Winner again! Childe Zhao, thank you for your reward. I have never seen so many middle-class ranking Magic Treasures before!”
“Go and defeat him!”
…
“Oops, I won again. Childe Zhao, you had better give up. I have told you that no cultivators of Ground Immortal Realm can defeat me!”
“Don’t overate yourself! You will lose today!”Updates by Novel Time Z
…
”Sorry, I won again. Alas, actually I don’t have much confidence in defeating the next challenger. Childe Zhao, are you running out of Magic Treasures? I don’t mean to boast but it requires skill in arm-wrestling. Even cultivators of Sky Immortal Realm might not be able to defeat me. You can send one to challenge me if you don’t believe it!”
“You are looking for trouble this time! Choose a Sky Immortal Realm cultivator challenger! Go bury yourself if you fail!”
…
Boom! Half of the mountain beside sunk into the land.
“He really plans to bury himself? Will he die? Childe Zhao, can we put an end to this?”
“Damn. You are a bunch of useless losers. Let me do it myself!”
Before Zhao Batian went to the table, a Taiyi Real Immortal came to him and said, “My lord, this is a very tricky man. You may fall into his trap. Besides, you almost lost all the Magic Treasures City Lord gave you…”
“I don’t need your advice! Get out of my way!” Zhao Batian pushed the Taiyi Real Immortal aside, “What will people think of me if I can’t beat a cultivator of Ground Immortal Realm? Just get out of my way!”
Seeing Zhao Batian thundering toward him, Li Ye cleared his throat and pretended to be considerate, “Childe Zhao, you have lost many middle-class ranking Magic Treasures to me already. I suppose you don’t have much Magic Treasures now? I don’t mean to boast, but I have never lost an arm-wrestling match.”
Li Ye was telling the truth, but clearly Zhao Batian would not listen to it. Those words would only sound like insults in his ears.
Zhao Batian threw his storage bag and a dozen other storage bags he had raided onto the table. He had only taken possession of these bags for a very short time. He stared at Li Ye viciously, “The Magic Treasures and Dan Pills will be yours if you win. But if you lose, you shall return what you have won and drink your own urine!”
Sighing, Li Ye shook his head. He cast a glance at the three Taiyi Real Immortals and wondered if these men would help Zhao Batian. Then he said reluctantly, “I guess I have to do it then.”
