The Emperor Reigns Them All - Chapter 501
Chapter 501 The Final Battle (3)
“You are just bluffing! It is you who is about to die!” Although Zhao Batian was shocked, he was not terrified. He could never stand seeing a man pretending in front of him. So he slashed at his foe without hesitation.
However, his strike was not aimed at Xu Beiwang. According to the fluctuation from this man, he knew Xu Beiwang might be at Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. So it was not rational to fight this man since he had three cultivators of Taiyi Real Immortal.
At that very moment, Zhao Batian did not know what he was facing.
Without Zhao Batian giving the order, Zhao Dengke led a group of cultivators to stand beside Zhao Batian. As a powerful cultivator of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, Zhao Dengke easily found his foe. He slashed at Xu Beiwang’s face with his fist.
“What a powerful man. He is at the final stage of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, which means he is at a higher level than me!” Xu Beiwang parried with his sword and was driven back a hundred steps. He raised his head and with a creepy smile on his face, said, “You are not going to use your magic weapon? Don’t you think you overrated yourself?”
“I do not need it to kill you.” Zhao Dengke said coldly. Then he delivered another strike with his fist. From the first, he only had glimpses of his foe, because as a very powerful cultivator, he despised this man.
“If you were not a cultivator of the demon clan, I could never defeat you. But now…” Xu Beiwang smirked, his left hand doing an Incantation Gesture in his sleeve while his mouth was muttering some arcane words. Then a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. “Now, prepare for your death! Demon-subduing Invocation!”
“What?” Zhao Dengke was shocked, the disbelief plain in his eyes. He even thought Xu Beiwang was only playing a trick.
A moment later, nine Demon-subduing Invocations flew out of Xu Beiwang’s sleeves and lined up in the sky with a blinding sheen on them. Then they formed into a giant hand, which then slashed at Zhao Dengke as imposing and quick as lightning!
Zhao Dengke shook his arms in a flurry, then a silver folding fan appeared in his hand. Then he flapped it hard at the giant hand.
The wind howled and the silver on the fan shone with a blinding light. It seemed to about to devour the giant hand.
But it did not succeed. As the giant hand fell from above, the silver faded when the giant hand touched it. Then the giant hand hit Zhao Dengke, who flew backward, while spitting out blood. His power had been severely damaged.
After managing to stabilize himself, Zhao Dengke raised his head and there was fear on his face. He stared at Xu Beiwang and asked, “You are cultivators are from the Immortal Court? How come you are one of them?”
He could not accept the fact that Xu Beiwang was an Immortal, nor could he understand why there were Immortals in their territory.
Could it be that Flood Dragon Demon King had lost Lingyun Canyon? But if that was true, the news would have spread across the land. He should have known about it.
Besides, Flood Dragon Demon King was a Daluo Golden Immortal. Were there any Immortals who could still be of that level when he descended?
The answer was no.
Zhao Dengke was astonished, but Xu Beiwang smiled happily. He slashed at this man with his sword, “I am Xu Beiwang, a cultivator from the Immortal Court. Remember this name, because you are about to die by my hand.”
Zhao Dengke parried in a flurry. He tried to restore his Qi, but he could not do it in such a short time since that giant hand hit him. He could not even compress the fear in his heart. How could he defeat this enemy?
Before he could restore his strength, Xu Beiwang could have killed him a hundred times.
“Help me!” Zhao Dengke cried out to his companions, hoping that the other two cultivators of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm could help him.
Though the Demon-subduing Invocation was very powerful, it only could be cast once in a short time. It was not possible for them to have enough energy to cast it twice.
If an Immortal could easily kill dozens of demon cultivators who were at the same level, the demon clan would have been extinguished a very long time ago.
Zhao Dengke looked back and saw a scene that made him feel terrified and desperate.
He had thought that Xu Beiwang was only an undercover among the demons. But what happened made him realize that they were all cultivators from the Immortal Court!
Because all his colleagues were also hit by the Demon-subduing Invocation and were seriously injured!
There were about 6 hundred Great Cultivators among the cultivators Zhao Batian brought. And most of them were at Spiritual Master Realm. The number of the cultivators of the Immortal Realm was the same with their foes’. Since their enemies all had a Demon-subduing Invocation, it was impossible for them to win.
But the situation was not that hard for Zhao Dengke. After all, he was at the final stage of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm while Xu Beiwang was at the middle stage. Even though he had been hit by the Demon-subduing Invocation, he could still make sure he would not be killed by his foe. But the other cultivators from the demon clan were not so lucky.
Many of them were killed when their enemies used the Demon-subduing Invocation.
Even though some of them managed to flee, they could not make it very far.
Now the battle in the sky became a massacre.
One of the other two cultivators of Taiyi Real Immortal Realm fell to the ground, hovering between life and death. The other seemed to be about to fall as well since his foe was delivering fierce strikes. Zhao Dengke lost all hope at this moment. Then he started fleeing.
“You can’t run from me!” Xu Beiwang blocked Zhao Dengke’s getaway and utilized all his power to slash at Zhao Dengke with his sword. Zhao Dengke’s power was seriously damaged. It was easy for Xu Beiwang to stop him since he was faster and stronger than Zhao Dengke now.
Zhao Dengke’s pupils contracted as the sword approached. His hair even stood on its end. He screamed and parried by wielding his silver fan while moving his body.
But the steel still bit into his flesh. The silver fan fell, along with the hand that was holding it.
Zhao Dengke’s face paled instantly as his right arm was totally chopped off. He screeched while covering the terrifyingly bleeding hole on his shoulder. He randomly grabbed the cultivators in front of him and threw them behind him as he fled for his life.
Xu Beiwang killed the four cultivators of Spiritual Master Realm that were thrown at him by Zhao Dengke. Then he saw Zhao Dengke’s figure in the distance. He seemed to have activated some kind of magic tool that enabled him to flee at a faster speed.Read More chapter on our Novel Time Z
The battle around him was fierce, which made it inconvenient for him to go very far. He snorted, “Lucky for you. But you were hit by the Demon-subduing Invocation and lost one arm. You will be very weak for a long time. You should pray that you won’t become the beasts’ food!”
Then he returned to kill the other cultivators of the demon clan.
It was not any easier for Zhao Batian, either. He was also hit by the Demon-subduing Invocation. But luckily, he had the protection of the Spiritual Shirt, a high-ranked magic treasure given by Sun Bofu.
He flinched and began fleeing and screaming for help. But he saw that his men were also struggling to run, which made him desperate. He was almost driven crazy by the fear.
Finally, a group of cultivators of Yang Spiritual Master sacrificed themselves to help Zhao Batian run for his life. He did not dare to stay in the battlefield any longer.
At this very moment, Zhao Batian completely forgot about his reputation and ambition to be renowned.
The complete collapse of the cultivators above would definitely lead to the failure of those on the ground. There were possibilities of surviving in the sky. But those who fought on the ground were not so lucky.
Once the immortals commanded the beasts to attack them instantly, most of cultivators of the demon clan would die here.
But not all of the Great Cultivators were running for their lives. After all, the group of Zhenjiang City led by Zhao Batian had the most casualties. Because Zhao Batian did not hide his identity as a leader at all. The Immortals believed that capturing the leader would be the fastest way to win.
There were almost a hundred Great Cultivators from Zhenjiang City and the number of cultivators who were at the Immortal Ream was equally huge. But few of them survived.
But at least they had taken most of the Immortal’s hits, especially their Demon-subduing Invocations. When they fled in all directions, many Immortals were after them. Not all cultivators were as fast as Zhao Dengke.
The rogue Great Cultivators suffered less casualties than that of Zhenjiang City. Besides, they were more or less connected with the Qi-refining cultivators on the ground. They thought about it and could not decide if they should flee or not in a short while.
But they realized that it would not be long before they had to leave their friends behind and run for their lives. After all, the Immortals seemed to be unharmed. Once the Immortals converged their power, they would be invincible.Read More chapter on our Novel Time Z
The Qi-refining cultivators on the ground were terrified and desperate. They realized that they might all be killed here.
Screams of fear, screeches of pain and cries for help rippled through the mountain like waves.
At this moment, all those rogue cultivators hated Zhao Batian and his followers immensely for abandoning them. They should place all the blame on Zhao Batian, as he was the one who led them to danger.
Suddenly a giant beam of light rose from the ground and pierced through the clouds. Its color was mixed with green and white.
Then, a voice, which sounded like justice itself, boomed across the sky like a thunderclap.
“All cultivators!”
“I, Li Congjing, the leader of the cultivators of Liu Xi town, will be your leader now. I shall fight with you until I draw my last breath! All cultivators, follow me and kill those scums from the Immortal Courts. They are the ones who have been commanding the beasts!”
Thousands of cultivators looked up at the sky when they heard his voice. They were shocked and felt it was unbelievable.
In the sky, there was a figure floating in the center of the beam. He looked overwhelmingly righteous with a sword in his hand.
“We shall fight with Childe Li until we draw our last breath!” The cultivators flew to the sky one after another, their voices booming across the mountain.
