The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 90



Chapter 90 Politeness

Li Ye fell on the river again. He just stepped on a broken piece of wood with his toe and before he could get up, he heard a roar. There was a giant golden ax shining above his head. The ax chopped down quickly as if it was cutting into a mountain.

The person, who was holding a giant ax, was a muscular and burly cultivator. He was as strong as a hill. When Li Ye looked up, he had noticed that the cultivator’s cultivation was above Level 5 of Qi-refining.

As the ax fell, it suddenly reached six meters. Li Ye was as small as an ant in front of it. Its power could not be underestimated!

Li Ye lifted his Luke Sword. Sword Qi soared instantly. “Boom.” The ax hit the Sword Qi, causing explosive sounds and waves of Spiritual Qi.

The attack of the giant ax didn’t stop until it hit his Luke Sword. Instantly, river water around Li Ye exploded constantly as if countless thunder were falling into the river. The spray was everywhere, blocking the sky and sun. At the same time, Li Ye sank suddenly and river water immediately passed his knees.

After a strike, the cultivator with a giant ax, whose body bore the force of the counterattack, bounced up back into the air. Li Ye instantly floated up to the surface of the river. At this time, the broken piece of wood under his feet dragged him up 3 decimeters, like a rubber ball.

Li Ye leaped from the river and wielded his sword towards the cultivator. With a loud cry, the cultivator turned his ax in both hands to draw a big circle above his head, and then he chopped towards Li Ye again. It was much more powerful than his last attack. Li Ye’s gaze became cold and serious. “Sword Qi Born Lotus!”

“Pfft.” Before the cultivator could chop down his giant ax, Li Ye’s Luke Sword had already passed over his neck and scratched his artery, causing his blood splashing like a spring. The cultivator opened his eyes wide and he found it unbelievable that Li Ye’s speed would be so fast.

There were more than a dozen attackers and all of them were masters. Half of them were blocked by Shangguan Qingcheng, Wang Li and the others. Half of them laid siege to Li Ye and attacked him one after another. All kinds of techniques were bombing constantly in the sky with brilliant light. On the Wei River, water columns soared into the sky from time to time.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and had no intention of retaining his own power any longer. He mobilized his cultivation to the extreme. He flew over the river to dodge the techniques, and at the same time, he wielded his Sword Qi to deal with the enemies. He focused on his target to launch a surprise attack, and there would be a gain for his every surprise attack.

The most powerful cultivators among the attackers had the cultivation of Level 5 Qi-refining. If they fought alone, they couldn’t cause a fatal threat to Li Ye. But if they cooperated with each other, Li Ye dared not to underestimate them. At this time, his outstanding fighting skills were incisively and vividly demonstrated.

He was very agile in the face of the enemies’ long-range attacks and melee attacks. He moved extremely fast among the techniques and the water columns with great ease, like an electric eel swimming against a school of fish. Although he was in danger several times and he was injured by the techniques, he wasn’t badly hurt.

When Li Ye had defeated the last opponent in front of him and rushed out of the siege, there were no more attackers in front of him. The rest of the people were fighting Wang Li and the others. Li Ye kept his eyes on Chen Jianghe who stood on the boat.

Holding his Luke Sword, he rushed towards Chen Jianghe step by step on the river, ripples growing behind his feet.

Chen Jianghe, standing at the bow, looked surprised and he hadn’t expected that Li Ye was so powerful that he could break out the siege so quickly. At this moment, he finally realized that the entire Chang’an City had underestimated the young Prince An. He himself no longer looked down on Li Ye.

Seeing Li Ye rushing towards him, Chen Jianghe scolded his men in his heart and snorted. “I haven’t expected that your fighting ability has already arrived at this point. Over time, if you grow up, couldn’t you turn the world upside down? Unfortunately, you meet me today so that you won’t have an opportunity to grow up!”

Chen Jianghe no longer looked down on Li Ye, but he didn’t think that Li Ye could pose a threat to him. He pushed his hands forward and shouted. “Get up!”

In front of him, the river water was rolling up like a carpet, forming a water curtain of several feet thick and thirty feet wide. It attacked Li Ye and at the same time, Chen Jianghe made an incantation gesture and pointed to the water curtain. “Thousands of Arrows Formation!”

Instantly, numerous water arrows flew out of the water columns and shot at Li Ye like a swarm of locusts. Li Ye was covered by them!

On the hill.

The bronzed man in his prime walked out of the courtyard with the Taoist. He didn’t change his clothes, still wearing baggy shorts and a black leather apron. He wore the black leather apron to keep the sparks from bursting on his body when he forged iron.

The Taoist didn’t issue any objection to him. He was accustomed to his muscular Senior Brother’s untidiness.

“Liu, Liu Dazheng, you, you are a cultivator?!”

Liu Dazheng stopped and looked back at the boy whose skin was darker than his as he heard the boy behind him shout in shock. He nodded without hesitation.

Perhaps because of surprise, the boy opened his mouth and stood still, speechless.

Liu Dazheng looked at him and said, “Wait for me at home. I’ll be right back.”

The boy recovered and swallowed hard again. “You… what are you going to do?”

It wasn’t difficult to answer the question, but Liu Dazheng kept silent. With his silence, his look became solemn.

“The fight has already begun over there. If we go now, maybe we can take advantage of the mess. What are you doing here?” The Taoist had already heard the sound of the fight on the Wei River. He could not help but urge him. “There are many masters and more than one force in Huangli County now. It’ll be too much trouble for us to deal with them one by one.”

Liu Dazheng paid no attention to the Taoist’s urge and kept silent for a long time. When the Taoist was about to get angry, he said to the boy, “Don’t you want to eat fish? I will get you some.”

The boy stunned for a while and obviously didn’t believe his words. In the boy’s eyes, the Taoist, who suddenly appeared, was too strange and he couldn’t understand their conversation. He instinctively knew that Liu Dazheng didn’t go out for catching fish… He could only believe that Liu Dazheng would catch some fish by the way.

“Then, then you come back earlier. The hill is gloomy. I’m not at ease without you,” the boy didn’t ask much, but looked around and said weakly.

The man smiled warmly. “As a man, you’re afraid of this… Forget it. I know that you are timid. Even if I forge iron in the house, you need to say something loudly to me from time to time when you go to the toilet behind the house alone… Don’t worry, I will be back soon.”

The boy felt ashamed as he heard Liu Dazheng’s words. He felt that he lost face, especially in front of an outsider. He immediately blushed and shouted, “You are timid. I’m afraid of nothing! You can come back whenever you want. I go to sleep!”

While saying this, he went back to the house angrily. His steps were heavier and heavier and he slammed the door heavily.

The Taoist was impatient, but he suddenly was absent-minded as he saw this scene. He glanced at his Senior Brother beside him doubtfully and didn’t urge him anymore.

“Let’s go,” Liu Dazheng said.

The Taoist nodded.

The Taoist with a sword on his back and the blacksmith carrying a kitchen knife went out of the courtyard.

But as soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, they stopped and stood still in place. They looked shocked as if they saw something weird. Just like… they saw a ghost!

At this time, there was a person outside the courtyard. He stood with his hands behind his back and his back against them.

It was a man in a cyan robe.

Even if the color was simple, there would be some ornamentation on the ordinary people’s robes. At least, the edge would be decorated.

But there was no ornamentation or edge decoration on this man’s cyan robe. It was pure cyan.

His long hair at the back of his head was half black and half white. It was probably on the way to whitening, so it looked like he had gray hair at first glance.

He just stood there, doing nothing and saying nothing. His back was not broad or thin. But in the barren hill under the night sky, this quiet figure made people feel bleak and chilly.

It was like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

It was like an old man stooping and faltering towards the empty house alone at dusk. Dandelions were flying behind him.

Both the Taoist and Liu Dazheng were astonished at this moment.

They were so astonished that they did not move or speak for a while.

With their cultivation, they didn’t find out when this man had appeared. They didn’t see him until they were a few steps behind him.

Moreover, both the Taoist and Liu Dazheng could clearly feel the loneliness of the man’s figure.

The man’s figure wasn’t actually lonely, however, they were very likely to step into the Realm of the man and influenced by him.

Realm…

Thinking of this word, they were surprised, whether the most outstanding disciple of Zhongnan Mountain or the former most outstanding disciple.

Between the two most outstanding disciples, Liu Dazheng had higher cultivation. Although he hadn’t achieved the limit, few people could do so, because it was too hard to achieve.

That limit was called the Foundation-building Stage.

Above the limit, there was a magical power called Realm.

The man in a cyan robe didn’t speak.

The two of them looked at each other.

After a long time, Liu Dazheng cupped his hands and asked with respect, “Who are you? Why are you coming here late at night?

What made Liu Dazheng feel relieved was that the enigmatic man was willing to talk to them instead of remaining silent.

He said only three words.

“Wait for someone.”

Liu Dazheng was stunned. On the hill, there was nobody else except him.

So Liu Dazheng asked, “Who are you waiting for?”

“When he arrives, you’ll know,” the cyan-robed man said.

His voice was as insipid as the dark night.

The Taoist frowned and could not help but cup his hands. “You’re waiting for someone, so we dare not disturb you. But I’m afraid that we can’t stay with you because we have important things to do.”

“You have to stay,” the cyan-robed man said.

His voice was still very light, but no one dared to question or disobey his words.

Unless you had higher cultivation than him.

The Taoist and Liu Dazheng looked at each other once again.

The request of the cyan-robed man was very offensive.

Although it was offensive, it wasn’t necessarily unreasonable.

But the reason was his reason.

The Taoist determined to ask the reason, “Why?”

“No reason,” the cyan-robed man said.

This was really offensive and unreasonable.

Facing such an offensive person and such an unreasonable request, the Taoist and Liu Dazheng could do nothing.

They knew that power was the biggest reason in Jianghu.

Although he was very powerful, he was polite because he was willing to talk to them equally.
