The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 47 Breakthrough (1)

Li Ye and Wu You walked out of the room and looked up. Under the night sky of so many shining stars, there was a white aureole crossing the sky to Niushou Mountain just in a blink of an eye, lightening up the half sky.

Because of the long distance and the bright white light, the two people could not tell the comer’s figure, not mention seeing the appearance clearly.

The white aureole paused for a little while in the sky upon Niushou Mountain, and immediately, a piece of meters of cyan light chopped down from the sky straight to Niushou Mountain.

Under the cyan light, Sanqingguan seemed to be smaller, and Li Ye and Wu You, standing in front of the door, were just like insects.

In the face of the sudden attack of the cyan light, with a slamming sound, a white barrier raised upon the Sanqingguan on Niushou Mountain, like a bowl upside down, enveloping the Sanqingguan. On the surrounding meters of the white barrier, hundreds of Spiritual Invocations shone brightly at the same time, sparkling under the moonlight.

The entire Sanqingguan was bathed in brightness, as bright as daytime.

But that was an emergency formation for protecting the mountain.

The cyan light shot out like an arc with a booming sound, touching the formation and then burst out brilliant light sheltering the sky and the sun. On the bowl-shaped light shield, hundreds of Invocations cracked together for the first time, and then the entire light shield was broken little by little like a mirror. The three-color light of cyan, white and yellow in the air fell down like meteors and dying flowers, lightening the entire buildings of Sanqingguan clearly while bizarrely.

Just one attack destroyed the formation.

The spiritual wind was raging, and the entire Niushou Mountain began to tremble violently just like an earthquake. Bricks tilted down from the roof, walls cracked and eaves collapsed in the small courtyard where Li Ye and Wu You were.

“What was going on here? Who was here?” Li Ye and Wu You and other people quickly jumped out of the small courtyard, all astonished.

However, at this time, that white aureole had already driven to the main peak of Niushou Mountain, standing in the air, like stars and lights, and then the second cyan light chopped down.

The second attack was more powerful than the first one. The cyan light seemed to split Niushou Mountain into two pieces.

“Who was trying to destroy my Sanqingguan in Niushou Mountain?!”

Xu Qingfeng jumped into the air, his clothes fluttering. The peachwood sword flew out immediately, in the size of 54 meters, straight to the cyan light! The sword was covered with runes and each rune line was shining brightly.

The cyan light hit the 54-meter-sized peachwood sword, causing the tremble of the sword and a whine. After that, the sword blade was crushed with a clicking sound, flying down directly from the sky. The speed was so fast that it was gone in a flash and fell to nowhere. Xu Qingfeng immediately put up his head to spit out a mouthful of blood, also falling from the sky.

After the cyan light hitting out the peachwood sword, it still had aftereffect. It fell on Niushou Mountain, and split the entire mountain from the inside just like cutting tofu. Meanwhile, stones were flying; trees and soil were pouring like rain; the buildings of Sanqingguan were collapsing one after another. The Taoism disciples inside the Sanqingguan screamed constantly with the dead and the wounded unknown. The entire Sanqingguan was like falling into hell.

Fortunately, the cyan light dissipated, after chopping into the mountain for only a few meters. The aftereffect hitting the Sanqingguan also only destroyed half the buildings without ploughing the ground for a few meters. Otherwise, most of the people in Sanqingguan would die.

Li Ye and Wu You were also separated by the cyan light, rushing to both sides respectively. On the explosive-like scene, Li Ye had to escape to the safe place at his full speed in order to avoid gravel and bricks.

“Sanqingguan violated the law and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory came to deal with the criminals!”

The immortal being above Niushou Mountain was finally willing to talk. His voice, like thunder, echoed in everyone’s ears; his tone, full of majesty, could not be disobedient.

Following, the third cyan light chopped down.

Without any nonsense and fancy, he told everyone the reason why the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was in charge of all Taoism in action!

“Did you really think that there is nobody in our Sanqingguan?”

The sound in the air had not yet dissipated, and a bright moon rose suddenly in an unimpressive mountain not far away. That was a man who raised his sword killing towards the people in the peak of Niushou Mountain.

The man wielded his sword to cut off the third cyan light in the middle.

However, the two broken cyan lights did not dissipate in the air, but turned into countless Sword Qi, shooting towards everywhere in Sanqingguan like Needle box.

Sword Qi could destroy a city, pull out a village, kill a person, and break anything in its way. The entire Niushou Mountain and Sanqingguan suddenly turned upside down, and there was no perfect place which was attacked by Sword Qi.

“Nangong Diyi, your ‘Buyue three swords’ had already finished, and now I wanted to know that how you can catch my sword!”

After saying that, that three Taoists of Sanqingguan, already jumped up in the air of Niushou Mountain, and wielded a powerful sword towards the master who was full of Spiritual Qi shining like stars and bright lights.

“It was unnecessary to use ‘Buyue three swords’ to kill you!” The master of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory snorted and thrust his sword with his backhand.

In the night sky of the peak of Niushou Mountain, a moon encountered a star.

The star and the moon collided together, and burst out brilliant light, rippling like white waves. It spread to surrounding hundreds of meters. The entire Niushou Mountain, as well as the hundred miles faraway wilderness, were illuminated by this sudden white light.

Under this bright light dividing the sky and the earth, dozens of flying figures with great ease were coming from all directions to Niushou Mountain. They were law enforcement cultivators of Imperial Astronomical Observatory who were dressed in black star-and-moon robes.

...

Immortals fought and mortals suffered.

Li Ye had no idea where he was.

Land sliding, earth cracking and mudstones tilting, Li Ye could only dodge everywhere to find a safe place.

When the second cyan light chopped down, Li Ye had already been separated from Wu You. When the third cyan light rained down, he could not even see Shangguan Qingcheng.

Li Ye did not know why the people of Imperial Astronomical Observatory would come this time. Perhaps that involved a higher level of struggle, which was a gamble between the court power and Jianghu power.

But he was very clear that Sanqingguan was over thoroughly tonight, and he himself was not very safe.

Luckily, he ran all the way long. After leaving the most dangerous area, he had not suffered any injuries yet, and only his robes were scratched in several places.

In order to avoid the flying stone, Li Ye jumped down from a mountain waterfall and landed in a clear pond in front of the waterfall. That huge stone fell into the pond, causing several-meter-high spray. As Li Ye ran out from the water curtain, he saw a round pool surrounded by carved columns of white jade about ten steps ahead of him.

The size of the round pool was only nine meters and runes were carved on the columns and slabs, shining brightly. Someone was stepping into the round pool, willing to pick up something in the pool. That person was attracted by the sound of the falling stone. When he turned around and saw Li Ye, he looked slightly surprised.

The urgent conversation among them stopped abruptly at this time, “master was badly injured and dying. Having no time to consider any big plans, we should take the lotus bud to save the master’s life first... ”

When Li Ye saw this person, he also looked slightly surprised.

That was Xu Fengzhu whose left sleeve was empty.

Behind Xu Fengzhu, there were two young Taoists outside the round pool.

Li Ye took a glance at the round pool which looked like there were green lotuses in it.

“He was Prince An Li Ye! It was he who killed the sixth and the ninth junior fellow apprentices! Kill him!” When Xu Fengzhu saw Li Ye, there was a panic in his eyes, which should not be appeared. This panic was replaced by hate and rage immediately. He had no time to pick up the things in the lotus pond. After turning around to tell the two fellow apprentices, he rushed to kill Li Ye.

When enemies come face to face, their eyes would blaze with hate.

Xu Fengzhu wielded his sword straight to Li Ye’s face and the two young Taoists followed.

Li Ye’s eyes darkened and he took out the Luke Sword to meet their attacks. Xu Fengzhu’s cultivation was level 4 of Qi-refining, and his Spiritual Qi is higher than Li Ye’s. Generally speaking, it means “stronger”. However, because his one arm was cut off by Li Ye in the daytime, his strength had declined. It was unknown what kind of power his two helpers had.

The sound of long swords intersecting was clear and sweet. Because Li Ye was fully prepared at this time, holding his Luke Sword tightly, there was no longer have signs of numbness in his hand. The strength of the sword was not as powerful as it was in the daytime. It seemed that Xu Fengzhu’s injuries had not been recovered.

Li Ye fended off Xu Fengzhu’s incoming long sword. They passed over each other. And the other two Taoists’ long swords coming to Li Ye, one’s long sword went up and the other’s went down. The long upper sword tried to seal his throat and the lower one tried to cut off his legs. These two people cooperated closely.

Li Ye hit straightly to the young Taoist on his left side and then he avoided an attack to his right leg by suddenly turning around. His right hand held the Luke Sword upside down in the front, blocking the long sword out of his throat.

When he hurried to move, the opponent’s long sword slid over his Luke Sword. Although there were no sparks, the friction of the metal was still harsh.

When the young Taoist saw Li Ye collide to him, there was a panic in his eyes. He slapped in a hurry, and at the same time, he retreated, trying to distance himself from Li Ye. But Li Ye’s left fist had already launched, striking his opponent’s palm. “Bang”, the young Taoist’s arm trembled.

Li Ye had no intention to let him withdraw, and kept moving forward. His upside-down Luke Sword was thrust forward as his arm stretched out, like a viper sticking its tongue out. In the shortest attack distance, he made a cut on the opponent’s right arm.

The young Taoist screamed, the long sword falling off his hand, and a panic expression appeared on his face. He did not expect that Li Ye’s fight was so fierce. Both of them were Level 3 of Qi-refining, but there was a huge gap between their skills.

Li Ye was trying to go on fighting, but Xu Fengzhu already came over to kill him from behind. With a sword cut, he would like to cut off Li Ye’s head from behind.

When hearing the footsteps, Li Ye noticed that Spiritual Qi was coming. He bent over, and at the same time, he thrust backward with his right-hand sword in the position of picking up the moon from water.

Xu Fengzhu’s spiritual sword passed over Li Ye’s head, while Li Ye’s long sword had already thrust into his ribs.

Xu Fengzhu’s eyebrows frowned and he quickly retreated, a panic crossing his eyes. Ignoring the injuries of his ribs, he slapped forward, forcing Li Ye, who was turning around, to punch in order to catch his slap.

Li Ye already let the young Taoist retreat, so it was impossible for Xu Fengzhu’s retreating like that. Regardless of his bare back, he launched a fierce attack on Xu Fengzhu. Luke Sword chopped with great ease, and attacks increased in violence.

Xu Fengzhu had retreated to the side of the clear pond with nowhere to go anymore, so he had to bite his teeth and try his best to wield his sword to Luke Sword. He saw the other two Taoists have rushed up, so as long as he could resist the attack of Li Ye, Li Ye could be injured by the other two people.

Xu Fengzhu thought that he could resist the attack of Li Ye, though his strength would be weakened because of his injuries. But if only competing with Spiritual Qi, he would not lose to Li Ye.

A bit of madness flashed in Xu Fengzhu’s red eyes. Under the unreserved attack of Spiritual Qi, he shouted, “Go to hell!”

“Clank.” The two swords collided with no way to retreat, which made Spiritual Qi inspire to the extreme.

Xu Fengzhu felt cold from head to foot.

That was because Luke Sword directly cut off the spiritual sword in his hand.

Moreover, his fighting would keep going up.

Chopping from his forehead, Sword Qi cut his head and disemboweled!

Xu Fengzhu fell down in the blood, and his eyes opened as wide as copper bells, as if he could never believe that he would die so easily.
