The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 471 A Courtesy Inquiry

Moreover, there were too many fierce beasts. They could jump very high, and they were familiar with the forest. With the help of the trees, they jumped and rushed into the crowd of cultivators, knocking down and killing them one by one.

The trees were so dense that the cultivators could not effectively gather together. The tall trees were the natural barriers to separate the battlefield. They limited the space for the cultivators to move and the possibility to unite. Under the fierce beasts’ fierce attack, the cultivators soon suffered heavy casualties.

Their howl was so loud that it drowned the explosive sound and the sound of the battle, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the bloody battle.

A giant bear pounced on Li Ye. Its ten-meter-tall body made him ignore the thorns and weeds. Li Ye, standing in front of him, was not stronger than an ant.

A big tree, which needed three people to hold it, couldn’t withstand its collision, broken one after another. With such strength, it was at least in the Spiritual Master Realm.

Before it got close, Li Ye waved his long sleeve. Shinning with crescent sword light, Luke Sword directly cut it in half from the middle. The giant bear’s internal organs fell to the ground with blood, and its giant body fell with a loud crash.

“Don’t scatter. Remember to save Spiritual Qi.” Li Ye’s voice was calm. Although he followed the cultivators at the Qi-refining stage to walk on the ground, he just wanted a different experience. With his, Wu You’s, the proprietress’, and the other cultivators’ strength, they were not afraid of the fierce beasts.

The proprietress was in the Sky Immortal Realm, but Duchess could break her arms with two punches. Even Miss Hong Xiu had high cultivation. The sparrow might be the only one that was not good at fighting.

The sparrow?

Li Ye glanced at his shoulder but found nothing.

“You fight first, and I’m going up to explore the way!” The sparrow fluttered its wings and flew straight up like the light. Instantly, it broke through the dense branches and leaves, flying to somewhere.

It did slip away fast.

Many fierce beasts rushed over again. Seeing very few cultivators at the Qi-refining stage standing nearby, Li Ye came to Duchess after cutting out a few streams of sword light.

A giant wolf rushed toward Duchess. It was 12 meters tall, and its tusks were longer than Duchess’ body. However, Duchess jumped up and punched its head, hitting it down to the ground. A big pit appeared.

“Elder Brother Ye, shall we fly up?” Duchess looked back at Li Ye, pointing to the sky.

The sight in the forest was not good, and it was impossible to accurately estimate the number of fierce beasts. However, looking at the figures coming around like a flood, one could tell that there must be a lot of them. Instead of fighting in the forest, it was better to fly to the sky to see what was going on, and the moving space would be larger.

Wielding his sword with his right hand, Li Ye killed the several apes that jumped over from the treetops. He punched out the Cloud-gathering Punch with his left fist and killed all the fierce beasts in front of him, clearing up a more than 30 meters long area. “For the time being, we’d better not fly up to the sky.”

Although it was the first time for Li Ye to encounter the beast tide, he learned a lot of useful information from the demon fox, so he had confidence. According to the demon fox’s words, the fierce beasts were strong, but they had no spiritual intelligence. This was also the reason why the demon clan could wipe out the beast tide every time.

Since they didn’t have spiritual intelligence, why would they ambush them on the road and launch such a fierce attack at dawn when the cultivators were the most relaxed in defense?

Their strategic vision and tactical execution surpassed that of the cultivators in Liuxi Town, so how could they have no wisdom?

If the proprietress was right, then there must be something wrong with the fierce beasts in front of him.

Li Ye remembered that according to the sparrow’s earliest information, the beast tide this time might have the help of the cultivators of the demon clan—Li Ye also asked the proprietress about this, but she told him that it was impossible!

In other words, it didn’t happen before.

All the clues indicated that the fierce beasts in front of him were abnormal and intelligent.

In this case, how would they not deal with the cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm and the Immortal Realm in the sky?

He was afraid that the battle there was fiercer than in the forest. If not, how would they not come down to support him on a large scale since the battle started?

“Okay, I’ll do what you say!” Duchess wore a pure and simple smile. Then she waved her fists to meet the fierce beasts that were rushing toward her.

Li Ye smiled. The Duchess’ smile was always pure and bright. It was so infectious that it made people happier.Visit v ip novel. com

He looked at the situation around him. The proprietress and Hong Xiu were fighting. Although there were many fierce beasts, they were sent to deal with the cultivators at the Qi-refining stage, so it was obviously not a threat to them. Their battle, though fierce, was easy.

In the distance, that was a chaotic battlefield, the purgatory of blood and fire. The fierce beasts were rampaging, while the cultivators were struggling. Most of them were panic-stricken. They were not organized in the counterattack and didn’t have good cooperation, so most of them were hit and killed. In a short time, they suffered heavy losses.

At this moment, the branches and leaves above Li Ye’s head moved, and a small figure fell straight down!

“Bang.” The sparrow fell in front of Li Ye’s feet.

Then it stood up unsteadily. Seeing Li Ye’s strange eyes, it immediately patted its chest with its wings and said righteously, “Your Highness, I’m back! On second thought, I have absolutely no reason to flinch while you’re fighting a bloody battle. I’m going to fight the fierce beasts with you side by side!”

Looking at its look, Li Ye knew that the battle in the sky was as fierce as he expected, and it was more dangerous than in the forest. Otherwise, the timid sparrow would not come back. Moreover, it seemed to be rushed down by the waves of Spiritual Qi.

Although the sparrow had a weak fighting ability, it had a high realm. The one whose waves of Spiritual Qi could make it fall so pathetically must not be weak.

“Go to help Miss Hong Xiu,” Li Ye said to the sparrow. With his protection, Duchess was naturally not in danger. The proprietress was in the Sky Immortal Realm, so she could protect herself. The one who needed help was the weak Hong Xiu.

“No! I’m going to fight with Your Highness! I will always be your man whether I’m alive or not. I will never leave you whether I succeed or not!” the sparrow said in a righteous and impassioned tone.

Li Ye slapped it to Hong Xiu’s side.

He knew what the sparrow was thinking about. It thought that it was the safest to be with Li Ye because Li Ye was powerful. But in fact, the fierce beasts in the forest couldn’t threaten it at all. Li Ye admired that it was so timid and afraid of death.

Facing the endless fierce beasts, Li Ye fought side by side with Duchess.

In front of them, no matter how many fierce beasts there were, no one could survive for one round. Soon, the trees and thorns in front of them were all wiped out, and a clearing with a radius of several hundred feet appeared.

It was a clearing instead of a flat ground because Duchess’ attack was too powerful, and she couldn’t control her force well, making pits everywhere. However, if one did not look carefully, it would not be easy to find out the pits. After all, the trees were very large, and there were many dead beasts. The pits were covered and filled, and there was even a layer of dead beasts on the ground.

Li Ye focused on the battle in front of him and didn’t care much about the situation in the sky. Actually, he didn’t care much about the battle situation in the sky. If those cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm couldn’t defeat the fierce beasts, his presence there was useless. His Sword of heaven was far from being used again.

After Hong Xiu approached him, Li Ye asked the sparrow to fly up and observe the battle situation in the sky. His plan was very simple. If there was something wrong with the battle situation, he would immediately flee with Duchess.

Hong Xiu came to Li Ye and Duchess. When she saw the battlefield in front of her, she stood stunned, motionless for a long time.

Li Ye thought that she was injured. Although it was unlikely, he still asked politely, “Miss Hong Xiu, are you injured?”

When Hong Xiu brought back her mind, she felt a little embarrassed. However, compared with the shock in her heart, the embarrassment was insignificant. With her eyes wide open, she said in disbelief, “Childe Li, are you really just in the Ground Immortal Realm?”

Li Ye glanced at the battlefield. He said in his heart, “I’ve paid attention to reserve my strength. How could you know that?”

Of course, Hong Xiu knew that because the proprietress was obviously not as calm as Li Ye when she was fighting.

Li Ye replied, “I’m really in the Ground Immortal Realm!”

Hong Xiu curved her mouth and looked at Li Ye strangely.

Li Ye noticed Hong Xiu’s eyes and felt uncomfortable. There was a subtext in her eyes. “You live up to be my hero. You’re so powerful!”

“Hehe. You look as proud as if I were your man.”

“Boom.” The trees next to Li Ye exploded in an instant. A figure fell and smashed a big hole in the ground, rotten leaves rising up. As soon as the person jumped up from the hole, he was caught by a huge black shadow and knocked down a lot of trees. Then he was pressed on the trunk of a huge tree.

The black shadow was a giant eagle with a wingspan of 30 meters. The cultivator trapped under its claws was as small as dust. Even so, he couldn’t escape because the claws of the giant eagle were completely binding him.

If the cultivator’s long sword in his hand were not strong enough to block the claws, he would have been crushed to death.

Li Ye recognized the cultivator. When the cultivator struggled to turn his head, he also saw Li Ye.

He was Qi Potian, who claimed himself to be the butcher of the Blackstone Ridge.

After they saw each other, they fell silent together.

Qi Potian wanted to ask for help, but when he opened his mouth, he saw that it was Li Ye. He couldn’t say anything anymore. He had a deep feud with Li Ye, so Li Ye had no reason to help him.

Qi Potian was very desperate.

When he was desperate, Li Ye suddenly asked, “Do you need any help?”

“Yes, I do. Please help me!” Qi Potian immediately screamed madly as if he had heard pleasant sounds.

Then he saw Li Ye turn his head and stop looking at him. Li Ye continued to face the empty battlefield with Duchess.

Qi Potian was speechless.

“Brother, please help me. Why are you turning around? Is there anything wrong with my answer?”

Qi Potian almost burst into tears.

Seeing this, the proprietress twitched her mouth. She looked at Qi Potian sympathetically. She was very familiar with Li Ye’s expression when he asked Qi Potian. That was just a courtesy inquiry!

The so-called courtesy inquiry was that no matter what you answered, the other side would not care and would not pay attention to you.

Previously, when Li Ye asked the proprietress if she wanted to go with him outside Liuxi Town, he had the same expression. The proprietress’ reaction and mood at that time were exactly the same as Qi Potian’s now.
