The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 420 The Fight

Yelv Abaoji opened his mouth but was speechless. Although he was proficient in the culture of the Central Plains, he was a foreigner after all. Compared with the scholars of the Central Plains, his proficiency was just a joke. Hearing Li Ye’s answer, he didn’t know how to reply.

The phrase “a friend from afar” came from Confucius, and those who were slightly educated would know it. The phrase “shall be eliminated regardless of distance” came from Chen Tang, the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. The original phrase was that “the heads should be hung in the Gao Street where the barbarians live to let the barbarians in 5,000 kilometers away know that the who offends the mighty Han Dynasty shall be eliminated regardless of distance.” It was about attacking and subduing Xiongnu.

These two phrases were originally irrelevant, but Li Ye connected them naturally, which showed Li Ye’s tough attitude toward all the foreign tribes. In Li Ye’s view, if the foreign tribes dared to cross the border of the Tang Empire, they should be killed.

Yelv Abaoji was not angry about Li Ye’s clear attitude. Since he dared to ally with Liu Shouguang, he was sure that he could win Li Ye, not only in fighting ability but also in all aspects.

Yelv Abaoji remained smiling brightly. He continued, “It is said that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette and taught by the sages. Even ordinary people understand the cardinal principles of righteousness. Prince An, you’re the Grand Prince, but you’re so rude and tough. Is it contrary to the teachings of the sages?”

Li Ye sneered. “You’re just a barbarian from a foreign tribe. How dare you talk about the etiquette with me? The Tang Empire is indeed a country of etiquette, but it is also a country with the greatest military power! We won’t allow the barbarians like you to invade the border of the Tang Empire! You were lucky to escape in Hedong that day, but you don’t seem to learn a lesson. Well, maybe I was too soft on you and didn’t hurt you badly that day. Today, I will let you know where the prestige of the Tang Empire comes from!”

When finishing speaking, Li Ye held his Luke Sword in his hand. Without saying anything, he wielded it toward Yelv Abaoji.

As he moved, cyan light suddenly shone brightly in the night sky and lit up half of the sky. The Sword Qi turned into 300 meters long dragon. It arrived at the pass in a flash!

When Li Ye took the initiative to fight without saying anything, Yelv Abaoji’s expression changed.

He was not surprised at Li Ye’s sudden attack.

At this point, it was not surprising that Li Ye would attack at any time. What surprised him was that the power of Li Ye’s attack was a level higher than that when he was in Hedong. In such a short time, the gap was so big that it was as if he were not the same person.

When in Hedong, although Yelv Abaoji had no confidence to win Li Ye, he had the confidence to catch Li Ye’s attack. However, at this moment, he didn’t have the confidence to catch Li Ye’s sword.

The situation turned straight down in an instant. Yelv Abaoji retreated rapidly and turned his wrist. The round bead he had used previously appeared in his palm again, shining like stars. But at this time, he didn’t intend to flee. Instead, he shouted, “Let’s fight together. Catch him first!”

More than a hundred cultivators of the religion of God flew out behind him at the same time. There were more than twenty masters in the Sky Immortal Realm among them, and they fought without any reservation. As their Spiritual Qi was mobilized to the extreme, all of them were shining with dazzling light, like the sun and the moon in the sky.

Each of them had a dark brown scepter in their hands. The pearl on the top of the scepter was surrounded by black gases, like an abyss, which contrasted sharply with the light on their bodies.

As they recited spells, pure black light columns suddenly shot out from the pearls, like the sunlight. They went straight to Li Ye!

Although it was a sudden attack, the cultivators of the religion of God had no intention of testing him at all. They abandoned their defense and attacked directly. All they wanted was to seriously injure Li Ye quickly and capture him regardless of the casualties.

They dared to do so because they believed that Yelv Abaoji’s Magic Treasure could protect them from being killed by Li Ye’s sword.

In a flash, the cyan dragon hit the pass, and its sharp light covered half of the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm inside. As the explosive sound was heard, the light on the pass was extremely bright, blocking everything.

More than a dozen black light columns disappeared before they could shoot out. Yelv Abaoji was also hit and stepped backward. His legs left two furrows on the track, and small stones flew up.

Liu Shouguang and Huang Xingqin either had low cultivation or wasn’t good at fighting. They could do nothing about the tides of Spiritual Qi which could cover everything.

When the two of them were about to die, two cultivators of the religion of God grabbed their collars and took them away.

But they were still a little slow. The four people were hit away by the tides of Spiritual Qi. They fell on the barracks, crashing the roof and falling into ruins.

However, the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm were very powerful. Although they might not defeat Li Ye in a one-on-one fight, their power could not be underestimated if they fought together. Several black light columns shot from all directions and reached Li Ye’s face in the blink of an eye.

If nothing went wrong, Li Ye would be pierced by the black light columns, and he would die without a doubt.

Li Ye wielded his sword. It was too late to defend or dodge.

But at this moment, Li Ye thought of something. The Shield of heaven flew out of his body and blocked in front of him!

After Li Ye used the Shield of heaven for the first time, it was raised for a few days. It happened to be able to be used for the second time at this moment. It helped him block most of the attacks of the black light columns.

But after all, the Shield of heaven was just a shield. It could protect Li Ye’s front but it couldn’t protect Li Ye’s back. A black light column passed over Li Ye’s shoulder. Even though Li Ye tried his best to dodge, he couldn’t completely avoid it. A chunk of bones of his shoulder was immediately chipped off, and his shoulder bled!

Li Ye was injured seriously, but he didn’t even frown. Instead, he fiercely launched the Sword Method from Purple Clouds from the East and rushed into the cultivators of the religion of God. “Step-by-step Lotus!”

At the same time, the cultivators of the demon clan behind Li Ye suddenly attacked the cultivators of the religion of God from all directions under the cover of the fierce fight. Red Boy took the lead and spat out the True-fire of Samadhi. The red fire covered most of the pass and burned a dozen of cultivators of the religion of God instantly!

As Li Ye rushed into the cultivators of the religion of God, in the tides of Spiritual Qi and in the light, waves of straight and short Sword Qi, like fireflies, suddenly appeared and immediately disappeared in front of the seven cultivators of the religion of God, who were in the Sky Immortal Realm. No trace could be found.

As soon as the cultivators of the religion of God saw the lotuses blossoming and withering, they felt their limbs stiff and their bodies cold. When the Sword Qi reached their faces, they trembled with fear, as if they had fallen into an abyss.

Blood splattered in the air in succession. Among the seven cultivators of the religion of God, who were in the Sky Immortal Realm, some had their throats cut, some had their heads cut off, some had their chests cut, and some arms flew in the air. They were either dead or injured.

Whether they were defending or dodging, they couldn’t completely avoid the powerful attack of the Sword Method.

When Li Ye showed up again, he was already in the center of the cultivators of the religion of God. The seven streams of blood behind him were particularly dazzling in the tides of Spiritual Qi.
