The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 245 Absolutely Irreconcilable

Fa Yi couldn’t help asking Tian Luo, “Senior Brother, should we go into the formation and help the Military monks deal with these three?”

Tian Luo said gloomily, “The Monk Military formation has its own ways to operate, when outsiders force themselves in, they will only disrupt the inherent operation of the formation. When the squad attack and defense are reduced, the squad will drop sharply. Li Ye has the ability to kill a Kong Kim Realm master in an instant and Nangong Diyi is no joke either. Even if we went in, we wouldn’t be much help.”

Fa Yi was silent. He knew Tian Luo had a point but in Fa Yi’s view, maybe there was another reason why Tian Luo did not make that choice, and that is that he was afraid.

Yes, Tian Luo did not dare to enter the Military Formation, because he was afraid of being killed by Li Ye and Nangong Diyi.

As Fa Yi thought about it, he couldn’t help silently heaving a sigh. The Divine Land cultivators really were the darlings of heaven and earth. Their most genius masters had always been a level above the top masters of Buddhism. Otherwise, for centuries, there would not be so many Central Plains cultivators who dared to head into the Western Regions and kill their way up to the Big Snow Temple on Golden Mountain.

Fa Yi turned back and looked at what was left of their force. At present, the only Buddhist Kong Kim Realm masters left were himself, Tian Luo, and four of the thirty-six arhats. And among the four arhats, the thirty-third Arhats had been killed by Tian Luo as punishment, so only three had any fighting strength.

That was to say, compared with the Tang Empire Taoist sect, Buddhism no longer had the numbers advantage as it pertained to Kong Kim Realm cultivators. They could not risk suffering further damage. Therefore if they rushed into the formation of the Monk Militarism and lost one or two more to Li Ye, What would they do when they met the Taoist sect of the Tang Empire?

Fa Yi and Tian Luo attentively watched the battle. Now the two sides had formed a stalemate. Although Li Ye and others were constantly killing the monk soldiers, they were unable to kill through the Military Formation, and the monk soldiers were using their lives in exchange for time.

Tian Luo slowly added, “If this keeps up, Li Ye and others will die without doubt. This time, Buddhism has already paid too big a price for coming out into the world because of Li Ye, that devil. In any case, we must surround him and kill him here!”

As he said those words, Tian Luo sneered. “In two hours at most, Li Ye and the other two will be beheaded!”

Fa Yi nodded and added, “At the end of the day, it is a good thing to kill Li Ye... We the Buddhist sect has underestimated the superiors of the Divine Land before. I did not expect the painful price we’ve had to pay...”

Tian Luo said coldly, “The divine land of Shen Zhou is very unique. We, the Buddhist sect must take it, when Li Ye dies today...”

Before Tian Luo could finish his words, he suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at the east official road. He couldn’t refrain from yelling, “Who is that?”

Tian Luo screamed from shock, his tension was beyond the words. Because by now, there was no more room for any accidents, for the rest monk soldiers were unable to withstand any more extra pressure.

Fa Yi quickly looked to the east, he was shocked after only one glance. His expression also changed because two people were flying fast towards them from the treetops on both sides of the official road.

“Qi-refining Level 9?” The tension suddenly dissipated from Tian Luo’s face when he sensed the others’ cultivation. He was greatly relieved, and his tension was replaced by contempt. “I thought that the Tang Empire had a lot of top masters, with Spiritual Master Realm cultivators roaming all over the place. Now I know what they have is not worth mentioning. What could two Qi-refining Level 9 cultivators do? Court death?”

Fa Yi nodded in agreement. He could kill the two Qi-refining Level 9 cultivators with his backhand.

It would be unwise for them to step in if Spiritual Master Realm cultivators came over because they did not want risk being killed or seriously wounded. They could also be sneak attacked by some hidden Taoists in the dark, which would affect Buddhism’s ultimate goal. But two Qi-refining Level 9 cultivators... Fa Yi took a step and was about to attack.

Fa Yi suddenly snorted out a cray and couldn’t land his step. Suddenly, fear filled his face because the two oncoming cultivators’ cultivation and momentum were actually steadily rising. Before long, they had reached the half-step Foundation-building Stage realm.

Not only Fa Yi, Tian Luo was also ready to make a move but also stopped in his steps.

The two oncoming cultivators quickly transformed. One was surrounded by dark air, and a huge figure appeared from his back. The dark figure turned out to be a mighty warrior in black armor. And the other was full of Immortal Qi, which was also fierce.

Tian Luo and Fa Yi looked at each other in dismay; they all thought of a possibility and were shocked inside, “Immortal reincarnations?”

Since those two were reincarnated immortals, they naturally dare not make any sudden moves.

Of course, it was Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang. They soon approached the monk soldiers, but they did not land directly into the formation like Li Ye and others, but began to penetrate the formation from the edges.

Their momentum and cultivation had not yet stopped rising. After reaching the half-step Foundation-building Stage realm it continued to rise. So Tian Luo and Fa Yi were even more shocked to find that their cultivation was slowly rising to the Spiritual Master Realm after they began fighting with the soldiers!

“That... how is that possible?” Tian Luo was shocked to his core and his eyes showed fear. “Who are those two people?!”

Fa Yi was speechless.

After Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang entered the barrier, they became the key to breaking the balance of the battlefield. Li Ye and others in the formation got their backing and immediately turned back to kill.

The eight hundred strong monk soldiers had already suffered a lot of deaths and wounds. At this moment, the formation before them was no longer dense, and soon the two would be close.

When Tian Luo saw what was happening, his hands were trembling, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest. If all the monk soldiers fell and Li Ye was still alive then Buddhism’s coming out party would take a lethal blow.

In Tian Luo’s frightened eyes, Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang kept charging. And the monk soldiers in their way were being killed. Then a path was slowly appearing in the formation.

Wei Xiaozhuang’s attack was fierce and intense, full of power. Dozens of men were sent flying with his every axe attack. Osmanthus flowers surrounded Su Emei, though it wasn’t as overwhelming as Wei Xiaozhuang’s axe, blood still shed where ever the osmanthus flowers landed.

In the formation, Li Ye and others suddenly jumped up. First it was Li Ye who sliced three times with his sword, followed by Nangong Diyi’s Three Buyue swords attack. Lastly, Li Xian charged into the crowd, then a stream of light flashed and no other monk soldiers were near them.

By now Li Ye and others had killed their way through the Monk Military Formation and successfully joined up with Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang.

The five of them joined forces and formed a complete mini Formation. They didn’t escape but chose to charge towards the monk soldiers.

The eight hundred strong monk soldiers were quickly decimated to less than half. Though they were still fighting bravely, they were no match for Li Ye and others. The monk soldiers could no longer stop Li Ye and others’ charges.

Li Ye and crew were like sickles reaping a wheat harvest. As the monks fell, a huge gap appeared in the Monk Military Formation. The monks had to retreat, those that were brave enough to still charge at Li Ye’s crew were either dead or wounded. Apart from leaving their corpses behind, there was not much they could do.

The barren land was now covered with corpses and the grass was dyed red by blood.

Tian Luo’s face was ghastly and his whole body was trembling. Fa Yi was also trembling in his teeth. When they saw what was happening, they had lost their souls as if they were witnessing Doomsday, or their Buddhist land being invaded by devils.

In the oblique valley, when Xu Pingjing, Bai Jingxue, Wu Jinling, Wang Sanxian, Zhang Jiuling and others saw the situation, they too were astonished. When they saw Li Ye, Li Xian and Nangong Diyi locked in battle with the monk soldiers, they were shocked at how strong those three were. Of course, they were also praying for the monk soldiers, hoping that they were not that useless, but never could they have predicted that the situation would end up like this.

Bai Jingxue suddenly stared at Zhang Jiuling with fury and said, “Weren’t you supposed to stop Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang? How come you couldn’t stop them?”

Zhang Jiuling’s face flushed in embarrassment. He wished there was a hole he could climb into. But then he quickly stood up and argued, “You saw their strength! And you know they’re reincarnated immortals. How could I stop them?”

Seeing Zhang Jiuling defend his incompetence, Bai Jingxue was a little taken aback. But there wasn’t much she could do apart from yelling at him.

Xu Pingjing couldn’t refrain from trembling, and he yelled at the crowd, “The strength Li Ye displayed today, coupled with Li Xian, Nangong Diyi, Wei Xiaozhuang and Su Emei. Who in the world could stop them? I don’t even think the Military Formation would not do much to them, agreed? If Li Ye survives today, who can we, the Taoist sect, support to take the world from him?”

As they all thought about the question, every one of their faces was ghastly. Zhang Jiuling then added with clenched teeth, “Activate the Great Immortal-killing Formation!”

Bai Jingxue gave a cold laugh and added, “Before Shushan had the Sword Wielder, and perhaps we needed the Great Immortal-killing Formation to kill Li Ye. But now our Shushan Sword Wielder has arrived, so why bother? We’ll help you and the Immortal Court wipe out Li Ye!”

Smiles suddenly appeared on everyone’s faces, but they were still suspicious. Xu Pingjing then asked, “Are you sure the Shushan Sword Wielder could handle Li Ye?”

Bai Jingxue gave a cold laugh, just as she was about to say something, suddenly, Wu Jinling screamed in shock, “The monk soldiers have fallen!”

Everyone then turned to see for themselves, indeed, Li Ye had won the battle handily. Then monk soldiers on the other hand, eventually let up because they could no longer hold on.

Since it was a Military Formation, then winning or losing was expected. And there would always be times when men within the Formation would flee in defeat.

Li Ye had killed his way towards the three of them, when their visions recovered, there was not one single monk soldier left standing. The rest of the white-robed monk soldiers were all retreating in waves.

He looked around and saw that the surrounding barren land was unrecognizable. Dead white-robed monk soldiers were everywhere except that their white robes were dyed red by blood.

Li Ye heaved a deep sigh and leaned on his sword. By his side, Li Xian, Nangong Diyi, Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang were also covered in blood, but they looked glorious like immortals.

Li Ye twitched his mouth and looked towards the peak of the Qi Mountain, where Tian Luo and Fa Yi were standing.

When Li Ye saw the trembling Tian Luo, he sneered. “Buddhism wants to come out into the world and prove to the world your strength with these useless chickens and dogs? And you want to take over the divine land, are you kidding?”

Tian Luo was so angry that his features were all twisted. He looked at Li Ye as though he was looking at a father-killing foe, and suddenly he sprayed a mouthful of blood. “Li Ye! Buddhism’s hatred for you is irreconcilable!”
