The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 342 The Emperor’s Sword

Before entering the secret region, the cultivators among the three sides who had the lowest cultivation were in the Spiritual Master Realm, and their techniques were very powerful. Crossbows were only useful for attacking the cultivators in the Mortal Realm, and they were not powerful enough to attack the cultivators even at Level 1 of Qi-refining. In theory, no one would carry them at all. He didn’t expect that they would appear at this moment.

But nothing was impossible in the world. It was possible that someone from the Immortal Court had the hobby of collecting crossbows. Anyway, the sudden attack of the crossbow was surprisingly effective at this moment. Even though Li Ye was alert, he couldn’t notice it in advance and make effective precautions.

Seeing the arrow reach his eyebrows through the air, Li Ye felt a shiver run down his back, with his pupils shrinking sharply. By a single glance, he knew he couldn’t dodge it because it came too fast!

In terms of the cultivation realm in the secret region, he had not yet reached the Qi-refining stage. Even though his eyes could see and his mind could think clearly, his body couldn’t react accordingly.

“Be careful, Prince An!” Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er exclaimed. Their faces turned pale, and their eyes were full of horror.

They stood behind Li Ye, so they could sense the crisis at this time. But at this very moment, even Li Ye couldn’t dodge it, so what else could they do? They could do nothing but to see the arrow flying over.

Moreover, the cultivators of the Immortal Court were very confident about the arrow. After the arrow flew out, three of them leaped out the forest. They acted quickly and suddenly, and they were more powerful than tigers and leopards. They attacked Li Ye, Yang Tingge, and Zuo Che’er respectively with their swords!

It was clear that they had prepared for a long time, since they cooperated closely and perfectly.

Even though Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er weren’t attacked by arrows, it wasn’t easy for them to resist the other side’s attack, to say nothing of Li Ye.

That was exactly what the other side was planning to do. Once Li Ye was wounded by the arrow, it was inevitable that he wouldn’t be able to resist the cultivator’s attack that followed. In this case, even if Li Ye didn’t die, he would be seriously injured and lose his fighting ability. Then, they would succeed.

Without Li Ye, it was hard for Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er to win, two against four.

Moreover, three of them were in public, but one of them was in the dark. Not only could they launch close combat, but they could also shoot arrows in the distance. Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er would be defeated without a doubt.

At that time, Li Ye and the others would die here!

The man, who arranged this attack, must be very shrewd and meticulous. It was definitely not a coincidence that they blocked Li Ye and the others in the way. They must have prepared for it!

When Li Ye and the others got the copper billets in the ruins, the white light column had great momentum and it could be seen dozens of kilometers around. The four cultivators of the Immortal Court happened to be here at that time, so they noticed that. They chose this dangerous place to set up Li Ye and the others on the way to the next ruins!

Since they occupied such a favorable situation and made such a deliberate plan, they had made up their minds to kill Li Ye today.

Actually, Li Ye was in mortal danger.

The arrow came so fast that he had no time to react.

It was not ordinary, so it was enough to break the defense.

At this moment, the cultivators of both sides flew toward each other, one in front and two in back. Breaking through the air, the arrow reached Li Ye’s eyebrows with strong wind.

Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er were astonished.

With a fierce and murderous look, the cultivators of the Immortal Court looked proud.

What was Li Ye’s expression?

He looked calm.

He was calm and emotionless.

He didn’t pretend to be calm before dying.

The people who pretended to be calm wouldn’t be so confident.

But he was very confident when he faced the arrow before his eyebrows.

On the other side, the cultivator of the Immortal Court showed contempt when he saw Li Ye’s expression. If in ordinary times, he would scoff at Li Ye’s not afraid of death.

The cultivator of the Immortal Court would think so because they were well prepared. No one could escape under such circumstances.

So he was arrogant and had contempt for Li Ye.

But what happened next told him that he was wrong.

Li Ye was not anyone. He was Li Ye.

Especially now.

At the very moment that the arrow was about to shoot into between Li Ye’s eyebrows, cyan light flashed before it.

“Clank.”

The arrow hit something.

Then, as the cultivator of the Immortal Court watched it in disbelief, it bounced back up to the sky and flew to somewhere behind him, passing his ear.

He panicked and hurriedly stared at Li Ye.

He was immediately surprised to find that Li Ye was safe and sound!

Moreover, he was holding a long sword in his hand.

That was the Luke Sword.

It was the emperor’s sword.

After Li Ye comprehended the second realm of the Way of Emperor, the tacit understanding between the Luke Sword and him reached a higher level. They were connected, heart to heart. As the emperor’s sword, the Luke Sword was an important instrument to assist the emperor in ruling the world, like Dragon Qi. It would be improved constantly with Li Ye’s continuous comprehension of the Way of Emperor.

Li Ye confirmed that after he comprehended the second realm of the Way of Emperor.

Leave the Dragon Qi’s changes aside. The Luke Sword became a magic treasure that could be used for attack and defense. It was spiritual and it could fly out by itself when in danger. Like Li Ye’s fingers, it was already a part of Li Ye’s body. It was more powerful now than when it was directed by arms.

The Luke Sword blocked the arrow.

Holding the Luke Sword, Li Ye kept leaping forward without any hesitation.

The arrow had no effect on him, as if it hadn’t existed at all.

Wielding his sword, he cut the cultivator of the Immortal Court in front of him.

The sword didn’t cause billowy spiritual waves and the earth didn’t shake, but the cultivator of the Immortal Court’s contempt and astonishment were replaced by intense fear. Fear deformed his features and made them stiffen quickly.

“No!” The cultivator of the Immortal Court had only time to utter a trembling cry.

He shouted himself hoarse but stopped abruptly.

The shout exhausted the cultivator’s strength. At this moment, he understood why Li Ye would be so confident. It was because Li Ye knew they couldn’t kill him.

When he saw the white light column, he knew the copper billets had appeared. They set up a trap quickly. He originally thought that it was a good chance, but he didn’t expect that it was Yama, not the prey that fell into the trap. He originally thought they could kill Li Ye and make contributions to the Immortal Court, but he didn’t expect that he would be killed by Li Ye.

He was one of those who were killed by Li Ye on Li Ye’s way to succeed.

After the attack, the cultivator of the Immortal Court fell to the ground and died, covered with blood.

Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er were overjoyed, and the latter was so excited that he even screamed.

The other two cultivators of the Immortal Court were frightened, as if they had seen ghosts in the daytime, with many doubts in their eyes.

They wondered why the arrow didn’t injure Li Ye and why Li Ye could kill the cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm with only one strike.

They wouldn’t wonder that for a long time because they would die soon.

After Li Ye killed the opponent in front of him, he and Yang Tingge besieged a man. As expected, the crossbowman hiding in the forest began to shoot arrows toward Li Ye. However, Li Ye had an ulterior motive for attacking Yang Tingge’s opponent. After the crossbowman shot two arrows, Li Ye managed to track him down. He immediately turned to catch up with him and attack him.

A short time later, Li Ye killed the crossbowman, and then, he turned to defeat the other two cultivators of the Immortal Court with Yang Tingge and Zuo Che’er together.

The fight in the wilderness began suddenly and ended quickly.

“These guys have three pieces of the battleax!” After searching out the copper billets, Zuo Che’er didn’t feel happy but blushed and looked angry. “I don’t know how many of us were killed by them!”

Li Ye didn’t say much.

These four cultivators of the Immortal Court had good fighting abilities and were good at scheming. If they cooperated, they would be powerful. Four or five ordinary people were no match for them. Li Ye, Yang Tingge, and the others only found four pieces of the battleax, but they had three. It was conceivable that how many people they would have killed if they hadn’t encountered Li Ye this time.

If they had encountered someone else, they would have succeeded. If Li Ye hadn’t comprehended the second realm of the Way of Emperor, he would have died and they would have had seven pieces of the battleax.

After this fight, they knew more clearly about the danger of the secret region. No matter when they were on the way of searching or on the battle, they were more alert and careful.

Then, Li Ye steadily had more and more copper billets.
