The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 49 Breakthrough (3)



Chapter 49 Breakthrough (3)

There were as many as sixteen or seventeen disciples of Sanqingguan who rushed across the bamboo bridge.

In the front formation, it was undoubtedly the practitioners of Qi techniques, and several Mortal Realm cultivators were in the back. Li Ye broke through the barrier of techniques like a solitary sailboat into the sea. When he was right in the center of the formation, he had already killed four people in only six or seven steps. If they let him continue to move forward, the Mortal Realm disciples behind the formation would become souls under his sword, with no chance to fight at all.

That was not the worst part.

At the other end of the bamboo bridge was the shack, and Xu Qingfeng, who was seriously injured, was there.

Although in Level 5 of Qi-refining, Xu Qingfeng had received one of the “Three Buyue Swords” which was the famous Sword Method of Nangong Diyi, a master of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. It was lucky that he was not killed on the spot, and no one expected that he could still fight.

After all, Nangong Diyi had been famous for more than 10 years. Even in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory which had as many masters as clouds, he still had a great reputation.

Li Ye’s fighting capacity was unexpected and everyone was frightened. After feeling astonished, the disciples of Sanqingguan made a prompt decision to let the practitioners of Qi techniques carry out the sword formation.

The disciple who shouted out “Sanqing Sword Formation” was Liu Yantan, the second senior fellow apprentice who was just in Level 4 of Qi-refining. He also had the highest cultivation among these disciples of Sanqingguan and was only slightly weaker than Xu Fengzhu.

All the disciples of Sanqingguan ran forward and rushed towards Li Ye, showing a scene of a school of fish hunting for food. After hearing Liu Yantan’s words, they all retreated several steps like a school of fish scattering. They acted quickly, chicly, and smoothly.

They retreated quickly, but not all of them.

That was because Li Ye did not stop for a moment.

He heard the voice of Liu Yantan.

So he knew that he had to kill them as fast and as much as possible.

Under the danger of landslides and earthquakes, Li Ye consumed a lot of Spiritual Qi when he rushed here from Sanqingguan. And after another fight, the amount of Spiritual Qi in his Ocean of Qi had been reduced to 60%.

After hearing the voice of Liu Yantan, the disciples of Sanqingguan in front of him wielded their long swords to chop one after another. Hitting out several rows of Sword Qi as shields, they pulled back immediately.

Li Ye’s footsteps were staggered and his body moved slightly at a very small angle while he kept on running forward. He could not dodge too much, otherwise, he would not catch up with them.

A wave of Sword Qi passed over his cheek, cutting an inch-long wound, and his blood oozed out.

He succeeded in running forward, but he was still two feet away. In a hurry, his wrist trembled and the Luke Sword flew out from his hand like a sharp arrow, thrusting one foot forward into the chest of the disciple of Sanqingguan!

The disciple of Sanqingguan snorted and his body was no longer under his control, falling backward involuntarily.

Li Ye ran forward, and at the moment when his opponent fell to the ground, he rushed towards him, he held the hilt of his sword in one hand to thrust into him mercilessly!

The Luke Sword thrust forward another foot through the back of the disciple of Sanqingguan directly, nailing his entire body into the ground.

The disciple of Sanqingguan spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his upper body could not help but slump over. He stared at Li Ye unbelievingly, and his eyeballs were like popping out from his sockets!

Li Ye slapped his upper body and pulled out the Luke Sword.

Blood splashed all over.

At this moment, the sound of swords, like heavy rain hitting windowsills in the middle of the night, suddenly arose. It was breathtaking and frightening.

Eight practitioners of Qi techniques of Sanqingguan wielded their spiritual swords in eight different positions.

Their postures were like swallows with robes flying, and they had an untainted temperament, moving like flying immortals. Their movements were fierce but elegant, which were more attractive than the dances of the most beautiful dancers in a brothel.

Waves of scale-like white sword lights flew out from every spiritual sword of the practitioners of Qi techniques like ripples of water. The disciples of Sanqingguan had different cultivations, so the sword light was different in amount and in length, but all were bright and dazzling. Everyone was as bright as the moon.

There were hundreds of sword lights shooting from eight positions. With the clear sound of swords, eight sword flows gathered in the air. Each sword flow was three meters long and each one was like a dragon or a snake, which was magnificent and amazing.

“Sanqing Sword Formation. Kill!” Liu Yantan shouted.

“Kill!” The remaining seven people shouted together.

Eight sword flows were formed in an instant and rushed to attack Li Ye who was in the center, like birds paying homage to a phoenix and like rivers running into the sea!

Li Ye took a deep breath, and the wound on his face kept on bleeding, half of his face having been dyed red.

In the face of such sword a formation and such Sword Qi, it was impossible for him to avoid them when he was in the center of the formation.

He mobilized the Spiritual Qi in his Ocean of Qi into the Luke Sword.

In the next moment, his figure disappeared.

Eight sword flows exploded at the place where he originally stood. The white light was extremely bright as if the sun had fallen, covering everything, soil flying and the air exploding like thunder.

Hundreds of sword light flew out from the hands of the eight practitioners of Qi techniques one after another.

In the white light shield, there was a purple Qi rising slowly like smoke.

A purple lotus was born quietly in front of the practitioner of Qi techniques who was closest to the center of the formation.

He fell down covering his throat.

The second lotus was born. And the disciple of Sanqingguan near that practitioner of Qi techniques lost his spiritual sword and fell to the ground.

The unbridled Sword Qi around him dissipated immediately.

A flash of blood appeared suddenly.

It was not the blood of that disciple of Sanqingguan, but the blood appeared three steps behind him.

No one saw Li Ye’s figure clearly, but they all saw that blood.

That was Li Ye’s blood.

Taking the eight practitioners of Qi techniques as nodes, Sword Qi was everywhere in the scope of the sword formation. The Sword Qi on the eight nodes was especially powerful, and no one could avoid all these Sword Qi.

The third lotus was born, the fourth lotus was born and the fifth lotus was born.

Three disciples of Sanqingguan fell down one after another.

As each disciple fell down, there was blood that did not belong to him, spraying on the ground around him.

Liu Yantan saw the sixth lotus bloom.

He watched helplessly as the sixth disciple of Sanqingguan fell down.

He was shocked, he was surprised, and he was even afraid.

He had never heard of such a Sword Method and had never seen it.

Then he saw Li Ye.

He was rushing to him.

Liu Yantan saw clearly Li Ye’s calm face and his cold eyes full of killing intent.

Like Hades, he brought death without any emotion.

“Go away!” Liu Yantan was terrified and shouted hurriedly. And then he wielded his sword to chop forward with all his Spiritual Qi.

His sword chopped nothing.

Liu Yantan was shocked. His body was stiff and his hands and feet were cold. The extreme fear made him unable to move for a moment.

With his head flying in the air and his body lying on the ground, he could never move again.

Li Ye’s figure was clear behind Liu Yantan.

The eighth practitioner of Qi techniques screamed out when he saw Li Ye holding his sword and the headless body that fell behind Li Ye.

At this point, Li Ye’s robe was dyed with blood and he was injured badly. The Luke Sword was dyed red with his blood, dripping from the sword body to the tip.

Although “Step-by-step lotus” was overbearing, it could not let a person disappear into thin air and let him appear again. It only made Li Ye’s speed extremely fast, but no matter how fast he was, it was impossible to avoid so much Sword Qi.

Li Ye glanced back at that practitioner of Qi techniques.

He was the only practitioner of Qi techniques left at the end of the bamboo bridge.

This practitioner of Qi techniques was already terrified. Making contact with Li Ye’s wolf-like eyes, his face turned as pale as paper instantly. He took three steps backward, trembling, and could hardly hold his sword.

It was not because he was useless, but because the manner of Li Ye breaking the sword formation and killing those cultivators was too overbearing.

He did not want to fight anymore.

However, Li Ye did not intend to let him go.

Li Ye turned around and rushed to him.

He kept on screaming, but he did not forget to fight back.

“Pftt. Pftt.”

The practitioner of Qi techniques fell down while Li Ye had another wound again.

Li Ye took back the Luke Sword and rushed to the bamboo bridge without stopping.

There was not much Spiritual Qi left in his Ocean of Qi.

But he could not stop, for the enemies were not all dead yet.

He was not safe until all the enemies were dead.

He had to finish off all his opponents.

When four Mortal Realm disciples of Sanqingguan saw Li Ye rushing to them, they all burst into shouts and fled in different directions. Compared to Li Ye, they were like insects with no fighting capacity or will at all.

A disciple, who happened to be in front of the bamboo bridge, was late to avoid and had his neck cut off by Li Ye who was rushing to him.

The other three disciples of Sanqingguan, who had no time to rejoice, saw three waves of Sword Qi flying to attack them in the face separately.

They fell down almost simultaneously.

A few steps away from the end of the bamboo bridge, there was a shack under the peach trees. In front of it, Xu Qingfeng’s hands trembled because of anger and panic. He pointed at Li Ye, who was rushing forward, with his fingers, and shouted at the only two remaining disciples, “Go and kill him!”

Upon seeing Li Ye rushing over, the two disciples knew that they had no way to retreat and could only fight. They saw that Li Ye was covered in blood and bleeding, and knew that Li Ye was badly injured.

The two people looked at each other and there was a flash of desire in their eyes. They understood that if they could kill Li Ye who was already badly injured, they would make a great achievement in front of Xu Qingfeng. In the future, they would have Xu Qingfeng’s attention and perhaps could become his close disciples!

The two people pulled out their swords and rushed to Li Ye with fire in their eyes.

Li Ye’s feet stepped on the bamboo bridge and made a clear sound. He could feel the bamboo bridge tremble with his every step forward as if the bridge was unable to bear his footsteps and would collapse.

At the other end of the bamboo bridge, three people met each other.

Li Ye was ready for a long time. Facing the Taoist in grey robes before him, Li Ye wielded the sword down on his head. The howling of the sword wind was shrill and short.

The Taoist in grey robes stepped on the ground firmly and put up his sword to fight. He wanted to block the attack by Li Ye and win time for his companion.

“Clank.” The spiritual sword in the Taoist’s hand broke, and the Luke Sword chopped down to cut his face. Spiritual Qi burst out and tore his head apart with blood and flesh splashing like a watermelon.

Li Ye ducked his head and avoided the other sword from the Taoist in yellow robes.

Meanwhile, the Luke Sword changed from chopping down to sweeping and cut off the abdomen of the Taoist in yellow robes!

The body of the yellow-robed Taoist froze suddenly, and he looked down with fear. The wound in his abdomen was so large that his entrails gushed out and fell onto the ground. He was frightened to cry out and fell on the ground.

Li Ye stared at Xu Qingfeng who was under the eaves of the shack.

Running three steps forward, he jumped up when he was still seven steps away. The remaining Spiritual Qi in his Ocean of Qi was all injected into the Luke Sword and he chopped down at Xu Qingfeng.

The Luke Sword sounded.

His sword Qi was soaring. The three-meter-long sword shone brightly. It felt like Mount Tai on his head!
