The Emperor Reigns Them All - Chapter 505
Chapter 505 Stay
As a Great Cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, Master Wei had good vision, so he saw it very clearly. Every time when Xu Beiwang made a move, he used all his strength. The cultivation fluctuation of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm was real.
His every move could sweep over many cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm, but when it reached Li Ye, Li Ye blocked it well.
It was true that Li Ye was in the Ground Immortal Realm. His long sword, which was a treasure among the high-ranking Magic Treasures, gave Xu Beiwang great pressure and his real fighting ability must be far above his realm, so he could resist Xu Beiwang.
“No wonder Taoist Dust would send this guy here!” Master Wei felt resentful. “I should have thought that the cultivator sent to the territory of the demon clan by Taoist Dust would not be easy to deal with. He is likely to be up to challenges beyond his cultivation. However, this guy is too powerful!”
Master Wei sighed in his heart and then immediately thought, “It seems that he is indeed Li Ye, Prince An. Well, Li Ye, Prince An, is on Taoist Dust’s side… Damn it. I have not thought of that before.”
He felt that he had made a mistake, but immediately he felt that he could not blame himself. No one expected that Li Ye would get involved in the beast tide in Blackstone Ridge, instead of going to look for the Seven Sages after he came to the territory of the demon clan.
Moreover, since Li Ye had a noble status, he should be respected by the Seven Sages. Zhao Batian was just a son of the Lord of Zhenjiang City, so his status could not be compared with Li Ye’s. However, when the cultivators of the demon clan attacked on a large scale, Zhao Batian was the commander and he also boasted all the way across the high sky…
“With Li Ye in the team, what was Zhao Batian doing there? Did he not feel ashamed?”
“I really did not realize that the guy Xu Beiwang met previously was Li Ye, Prince An…” Master Wei thought and tried to find an excuse for his mistake. “Xu Beiwang could not recognize him even when Li Ye was in front of him. What a good-for-nothing!”
Master Wei involuntarily glared at Xu Beiwang with hatred in his eyes.
At this time, Master Wei was not aware that Xu Beiwang was not using all his strength when he fought with Li Ye… If he knew this, he would vomit blood in his anger.
“Pfft!” Just as Master Wei was distracted, the demon leopard scratched another three bloody wounds on his arm. The demon leopard said coldly, “How dare you be distracted when you are fighting me? Are you looking down on me?”
Master Wei’s heart was in a mess. As he was injured successively, he was furious. “You bastard. How dare you be so arrogant! If I had the Demon-subduing Invocations, you would be a dead demon!”
The demon leopard curled his lips in disdain, and his eyes were filled with hatred. “You bastard. You can only rely on the Demon-subduing Invocations. What are you so proud of? If you put your mind to resisting the foreign enemies in the immortal territory instead of dealing with the demon clan, you would not have been beaten so badly and lose your territory in the human world. You cannot even keep the inheritance laid down by your ancestors, so why do you still have the face to talk big here?”
“It is not up to you to comment on the Immortal Court!” Master Wei bristled with rage. “If it were not for your demon clan’s constant desire to subvert the rule of the Taoist Immortal Court, doing evil deeds inside and affecting our energy, the Immortal Court would not have been suppressed and beaten by the other immortal clans. It is all your fault!”
“Bullshit. I don’t want to talk too much with you. I don’t want my ears getting dirty!” The demon leopard snorted and increased his offensive.
They did not say anything more and fought against each other using their full strength.
Because Li Ye held Xu Beiwang back, the three immortals in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm had no advantage in numbers. The fierce battle that they originally had the chance to win had turned into a complete melee.
Due to the close strength of the two sides, the outcome of the battle could not be decided quickly. The bloody battle lasted for a whole day. There were countless deaths and injuries outside Blackstone Mountain. Whether the fierce beasts or the cultivators of the demon clan, their corpses were scattered all over the place. There were close to two thousand of them in total.
All the cultivators of the demon clan had Dan Pills to help them recover quickly from their injuries. Besides, their Magic Treasures could increase their strength. In the second half of the battle, this advantage was gradually revealed.
Without Dan Pills and Magic Treasures to help them to regain their strength, the fierce beasts gradually could not resist the fierce attacks of the cultivators of the demon clan and began to die in large numbers, after they ran out of energy.
At dusk, as the sun was setting, the fierce beasts’ line of defense kept withdrawing and finally collapsed due to too many casualties. With loud shouts and screams, the cultivators of the demon clan completely destroyed the fierce beasts’ formation and began the one-sided slaughter.
There were now less than two thousand fierce beasts left. Facing the fierce attacks of four to five thousand cultivators of the demon clan, they were soon killed by various techniques. On the vast battlefield, the cultivators of the demon clan wiped out the fierce beasts from the ground in large numbers, like the tide drowning the rocks and devouring the sands.
After less than half an hour of brutal slaughter, there were only several hundred fierce beasts left. At this time, even though they still irrationally struggled to fight under the control of the Immortal Court, they could not affect the overall situation.
Several thousand cultivators of the demon clan, especially the Great Cultivators, who became free, began to launch a group attack on the cultivators of the Immortal Court. Like a meteor shower, the dazzling techniques fell from the sky and killed the immortals one by one. It was not long before the immortals dropped from the sky like dumplings in succession.
There were about two hundred cultivators of the Immortal Court in total. After an entire day of battle, they suffered quite a lot of casualties, so they could not withstand such a defeat. In a short time, the immortals were in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Great Cultivators of the demon clan.
Xu Beiwang had been paying attention to the general situation of the battlefield while he was fighting Li Ye. Because of his high cultivation, he did not have to worry about being killed by Li Ye’s sword.
As the defeat of the cultivators of the Immortal Court was a foregone conclusion, he hurriedly said to Master Wei via sound transmission, “Master Wei, we can’t hold on any longer! Why not retreat first, join the other teams and talk it over at length?”
After this sound transmission, Xu Beiwang waited for a while, but he did not receive any response.
He thought that Master Wei was still hesitating, so he hurriedly transmitted a second message. “Master Wei, the cultivators of the demon clan are surrounding us. It will be too late if we don’t leave now! The defeat of the battle is all caused by Taoist Dust’s tricks, and it is not your fault. I think that the Immortal Court will not blame you! Where there is life, there is hope. Let us retreat first!”
After the second sound transmission, Xu Beiwang waited for a while again, but he still did not receive any response.
He felt that Master Wei was crazy and stupid. Why did he continue to fight when he knew he would lose? Was he waiting to be killed?
Xu Beiwang had no intention to do that and he felt that survival was more important. So he gritted his teeth and launched a real attack of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm at Li Ye. Then he turned and left without saying anything!
Li Ye was repelled more than a hundred steps by Xu Beiwang’s suddenly enhanced attack, so he could not chase after him. Fortunately, he knew that Xu Beiwang was not using his full strength in the battle, so he was on the alert all that time. Xu Beiwang’s attack did not harm him too much because he dodged more than half of the power.
When Xu Beiwang turned and ran away, he looked for Master Wei among the crowd in the melee. His heart suddenly thumped. He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. He was so frightened that his hairs stood on end and he almost screamed aloud.
Master Wei was not there.
He was nowhere in sight!
Master Wei had already left before him!
Not only did Master Wei disappear, but the immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm who fought against White Wolf had also turned tail and flew away before Xu Beiwang. His figure was still faintly visible!
Xu Beiwang felt his scalp going numb. “I thought I was decisive enough as I left when I saw the bad situation. But I did not expect that you would leave before me!”
“Why did you not ask me to leave with you? What do you mean by this?”
Master Wei’s meaning was very clear.
Master Wei was gone, but the demon leopard was still there. Before Xu Beiwang flew out for 300 meters, he was blocked by the demon leopard. The demon leopard punched with all his strength. In the air, the rolling mordents stirred up waves of Spiritual Qi like a flood, completely blocking Xu Beiwang’s way!
Xu Beiwang’s heart was pounding. He knew that he could not stop this punch. He had to find a way to dodge it. The demon leopard was able to take on Master Wei, who was in the latter stage of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, but he was just in the early stage of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, so he could not fight him head-on.
Xu Beiwang wanted to dodge, but the demon did not give him the chance.
White Wolf, who lost his opponent, also came up from the side. He held up a long sword and violently slashed at Xu Beiwang. The light of the Sword Qi was like the moonlight, the surrounding Spiritual Qi flared like a raging fire and there emerged a terrible wail from the space. This strike was a very powerful one.
White Wolf shouted happily, “Xu Beiwang, I will now have my revenge for the strike of that day. Go to hell!”Read More chapter on our Novel Time Z
Although his cultivation was inferior to that of the demon leopard, it was better than Xu Beiwang’s. Filled with a vengeance, his strike was likely to seriously injure Xu Beiwang!
Xu Beiwang shouted oddly and a yellow bell flew out of his sleeve. That was his life-saving Magic Treasure. He wanted to block the demon leopard’s punch. Then he turned around and raised the Spiritual Qi Shield to defuse White Wolf’s attack.
However, no matter how many life-saving Magic Treasures he had, he would run out of them. No matter how hard the Spiritual Qi Shield was, it could not withstand the continuous Sword Qi. Xu Beiwang could not fight two opponents at the same time. How could he be safe and sound when he was under siege from two masters in the same realm as him?
Before long, Xu Beiwang’s chest was hit by the demon leopard’s punch and his shoulder was cut by White Wolf’s sword. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood in succession and his momentum declined irreversibly.
At this moment of life and death, Xu Beiwang shouted crazily, “Master Wei! Yang Fengzhi! Even if I die, I won’t let you two bastards off!”
At this point, he certainly knew why Master Wei and Yang Fengzhi, the other immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, did not inform him before they left. They wanted him to delay the demon leopard and White Wolf, so they could make their getaway.
After all, the one who fought against Xu Beiwang was Li Ye. For the demons who knew his identity, they would not let Li Ye get injured. They would come to support him as soon as possible.Read More chapter on our Novel Time Z
How could Xu Beiwang not be sad and angry when he was abandoned and betrayed by his companions in this way?
He was a master in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, after all. When he was besieged by two masters in the same realm as him, he could not stay safe and sound and avoid being seriously injured, but he did not necessarily have to die. Finding a fleeting chance, he suddenly stretched his arms slightly and roared to the sky. A hurricane-like cyan tide of Spiritual Qi suddenly rose from his body.
The demon leopard and White Wolf, who were rushing toward him, were forced back by the hurricane-like Spiritual Tide and they could not move even an inch forward. Xu Beiwang took the opportunity to launch the immortal technique to escape. Turning into a stream of light, he went far away instantly.
The demon leopard’s expression changed. “He is burning his cultivation!”
Immortals rarely burned their lives in exchange for powerful strikes because becoming an immortal meant a long life. They could only burn their cultivation realm.
Xu Beiwang also had to pay a heavy price. Even if he could escape, his realm would fall drastically. With his cultivation in the early stage of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, he would likely not be able to keep the Sky Immortal Realm, to say nothing of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. Moreover, this was a method that would destroy his foundation, so he could not improve his cultivation or return to the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm for the rest of his life.
If his opponent was powerful enough, or there was one more cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, Xu Beiwang would not have the chance to escape, even if he burnt his cultivation. But under the current circumstances, he had a chance to survive.
“Don’t leave, bastard!” White Wolf wielded his sword and chased after him without any hesitation. Even though he knew that Xu Beiwang was already far away and that it would be hard to catch up with him, White Wolf did not give up because he had deep hatred of Xu Beiwang. The proud one always bore grudges, so he was unwilling to let him go that easily.
Xu Beiwang’s face was pale. He was in extreme pain after burning his cultivation. He knew he did not have much time, so he had to escape as soon as possible. If he hesitated for a moment, he would become extremely weak once the power exchanged by burning his cultivation dissipated.
Xu Beiwang shifted several thousand meters away in an instant, which was very fast.
However, someone was faster than him.
The other side even managed to block his way.
Xu Beiwang opened his eyes wide in surprise.
It was Li Ye who blocked him!
When White Wolf and the demon leopard besieged Xu Beiwang, Li Ye did not join the battle. On the one hand, his realm and strength were not enough. If he rashly joined the battle among the three cultivators in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, he would be injured inadvertently. On the other hand, Li Ye was cautious and thoughtful, so he tried to prevent Xu Beiwang from escaping.
He certainly could not allow Xu Beiwang to leave.
If he could stop none of the three immortals in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, he would suffer great losses… Mainly, he would lose a lot of Magic Treasures and Dan Pills.
By relying on his Luke Sword, which was at the middle stage of the high-ranking Magic Treasure, Li Ye killed the immortals as easily as cutting vegetables in the previous battle against the immortals. He killed nearly 20 immortals, so he collected 20 immortals’ storage bags. That was a wonderful thing.
But this wonderful thing was interrupted by Xu Beiwang!
If Xu Beiwang had not held Li Ye back, Li Ye would have killed another 20 immortals in this day’s battle… No, if he had had a chance, he would have killed another 40 immortals!
How many storage bags would he have collected? And how many Magic Treasures were there?
Did he want to upgrade his Luke Sword to the high stage of the high-ranking Magic Treasure?
Of course yes!
But Xu Beiwang ruined Li Ye’s beautiful dream.
Therefore, Xu Beiwang had to pay the price.
Li Ye intended to take his storage bag. He could tell from the number of the demon bear’s Magic Treasures that the storage bag of an immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm was worth a lot! Xu Beiwang was an immortal, after all, and he belonged to the ruling class, so he was richer and should have more Magic Treasures than the demon bear.
Therefore, Li Ye blocked Xu Beiwang.
He wielded his sword at Xu Beiwang and barked, “Leave your fortune behind!”
