The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 506 Cried for You

Xu Beiwang’s eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his teeth. He lost his mind at this moment. He would kill anyone who dared to stop him from escaping. “Get out of my way!”

At present, Xu Beiwang’s strength increased because he burned his cultivation and was no longer in the early stage of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. At this time, he fought without holding back. As he swung his sleeve, a huge fireball shot out!

The inferno technique was the most basic and a cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm could use it skillfully. Putting aside its disadvantages such as little changes, slow speed, easy to deal with, etc., in terms of attack power, the inferno technique was definitely one of the best means.

However, in the battle between a cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm and a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm, these advantages were nothing at all because the cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm could not deal with them.

When the fireball appeared, the sky turned a fiery red. The Spiritual Qi there was burnt and plumes of black smoke shot out. As the sun had already set, the fireball looked like another red sun, which was close at hand! It illuminated Blackstone Mountain and the blades of the grass, trees and rocks could be seen clearly!

Seeing this, White Wolf turned pale with fright. Although he was chasing after Xu Beiwang, there was still some distance after all, so he could not help Li Ye to deal with the fireball at all. “Run!”

He knew that Li Ye would not be able to escape Xu Beiwang’s full blow... Even White Wolf could not deal with that attack. If Xu Beiwang had no intention to escape but wanted to perish together with them after burning his cultivation, White Wolf would probably be killed by him.

Li Ye did not run away.

As his sword cut down squarely, the cyan light hit the fireball. Just like the soldering iron that had just come out of the furnace after being pressed into the pool, the Sword Qi only made a mark on the fireball, but it could not stop the fireball at all.

Then the fireball exploded in front of Li Ye.

In the sunset, the flames of the leaking Spiritual Qi were dazzling and beautiful, as they leapt in the air like erupting volcanic magma.

None of the cultivators present found the scene beautiful. All of them were stunned and dumbfounded, as if their souls had been taken away.

They knew that Li Ye was dead.

When they were in a desperate situation, he led the cultivators of Liuxi Town to fight bravely against the immortals. He did not hesitate to fight against a large number of powerful enemies even with a weak force. He was righteous in fighting for a glimmer of life for them, but he died after all, when the battle ended.

When they saw Li Ye fighting against Xu Beiwang, they thought that Li Ye would not die.

At that time, they regarded Li Ye as a god. They thought that Li Ye was invincible and would not die.

But now, Xu Beiwang was no longer the same as what he was before. He burned his cultivation and turned it into the most powerful attack to hit Li Ye, who was only in the Ground Immortal Realm.

Before the light of the leaking Spiritual Qi from the fireball disappeared, it illuminated the sadness on the cultivators’ faces. They looked angry, indignant and miserable. They felt sorry for Li Ye and were unwilling to believe that he was dead.

None of the demons spoke or screamed to express their emotions.

Their sadness was beyond words.

But suddenly, a loud cry rose from the desolate mountain ravaged by fire and blood. A demon sat limply on the ground. That was not a female demon, but a stout man. He cried out loud. “Childe Li!”

Like a burning fuse igniting explosives, ceaseless cries were heard on the battlefield, where the battle had just ended. They cried more sadly than the ghosts in the mountain. It made people sad and heartbroken when they heard it.

Even the demons who were not crying, had tears welling up in their eyes. Their shoulders were trembling and they gritted their teeth.

They were crying for that person’s sacrifice and shouting out his name.

“Childe Li!”

“Childe Li!”

“Childe Li!”

They did not know why Li Ye wanted to block Xu Beiwang. Maybe Li Ye thought that he could block Xu Beiwang because Xu Beiwang did not pose as a threat to him in the previous battle. Maybe Li Ye’s reason was dispelled by his righteous ardor in the fierce battle all day, so he just wanted to kill that damned immortal.

None of this mattered.

White Wolf’s clothes were fluttering and he looked ferocious, as if he was going mad. “I am going to kill you!”

He slashed at Xu Beiwang’s back!

Because of the inferno technique and the close location of the explosion of the fireball, Xu Beiwang’s movements were held back so White Wolf’s sword was able to keep up with him.

Xu Beiwang dodged to the side, but he was a bit slow, so his shoulder was cut by the sword. He could not help screaming.

After he spared no effort to launch the inferno technique, his Spiritual Qi dropped sharply. The power brought by burning his cultivation could no longer be maintained at its peak. Now his strength was almost the same as that of White Wolf.

As soon as he dodged to the side, the demon leopard caught up with him and punched him.

Xu Beiwang’s body was hit and he flew backward and kept spitting out blood.

“Bastard, go to hell!” White Wolf followed. He wielded his sword and cut off Xu Beiwang’s head!

The demon leopard did not stop and punched him again. Xu Beiwang’s body was completely smashed, leaving only his storage bag falling from the air.

Looking at Xu Beiwang who no longer existed, White Wolf stood stunned in the air, as his eyes stared vacantly.

After killing Xu Beiwang, he did not know what to do next. A tremendous sense of loss rose in his heart.

Li Ye was already dead. Even though he killed Xu Beiwang, Li Ye could not come back to life.

White Wolf clenched his long sword and the veins on the back of his hands bulged as if he had used up all his strength. His eyes were as red as blood and the tears that filled his eyes finally fell silently. He gritted his teeth, with his head down. “This guy...”

The demon leopard ducked his head silently. The cries of the cultivators under his feet drowned him like waves. Even though he met Li Ye by chance and had only a short time together with him, he also felt sad and his throat involuntarily became as hard as iron.

“Oh, if you don’t want this storage bag, then I will take it!”

From the canopy of a huge tree in front of Blackstone Mountain, a hand reached out to catch Xu Beiwang’s storage bag that had fallen and held on to it tightly.

Hearing this voice, White Wolf was stunned and looked down in disbelief. The demon leopard’s eyes widened as well.

On the canopy, a guy smiled like a money-grabber. He opened the storage bag and checked it out. Who else could it be, but Li Ye?

White Wolf and the demon leopard glanced at each other, trying to make sure that they were not hallucinating, judging by each other’s expression. However, both of them looked as if they had seen a ghost. Could it be that the figure on the canopy was not actually Li Ye, but his soul?

But his soul could not possibly catch the storage bag.

White Wolf could not wait to fly down and came up to Li Ye. He looked at Li Ye from head to toe, as if he wanted to see all of Li Ye. “Are you really not dead?”

“Why would I be dead?” Li Ye pretended to be confused.

White Wolf swallowed hard and said, “You bore the full brunt of the blow from the immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm who burned his cultivation head-on, but you did not die?”

Moreover, why did he look as if nothing had happened?

“I am not dead. I am all right!” Li Ye laughed happily. As Xu Beiwang was a Great Cultivator of the Immortal Court, there were countless treasures in his storage bag.

The Magic Treasures he collected were all superior items. Even the middle-ranking Magic Treasures were all of top quality and there were about twenty to thirty of them. Although he had fewer Magic Treasures than the demon bear, the quality of his Magic Treasures was better and the overall value was greater. Moreover, he had two high-ranking Magic Treasures!

Usually, the Dan Pills and the other small things together were of the same value as the Magic Treasures. In other words, Xu Beiwang alone gave Li Ye fifty to sixty middle-ranking Magic Treasures and four high-ranking Magic Treasures!

Li Ye sighed with emotion. With these gains, it was not a loss for him to use the Shield of heaven to defend against Xu Beiwang’s inferno technique, and at the same time he gained a huge profit.

“Why didn’t you die?” White Wolf could not stop asking Li Ye. He did not want to sound garrulous, but it was too incredible to be accepted.

Li Ye thought for a moment. “Because of... heaven’s will?”

Not all of this was gibberish. After all, the Shield of heaven blocked the fireball. Since the Shield of heaven was given by the Tao of Heaven, then it could be said that this matter had something to do with heaven’s will.

White Wolf thought for a moment and then he agreed with this statement. “It seems to be heaven’s will.”

Li Ye was speechless.

“You believe that?”

White Wolf certainly believed that. Li Ye had been invited to the territory of the demon clan by the Seven Sages and since the Monkey King had personally invited him, it would not be too much for the Monkey King to give him a life-saving Magic Treasure. Although the Monkey King did not represent heaven, he was born after bathing in the essence of heaven and earth, so could he be regarded as the son of heaven? Then could the Monkey King’s will barely be regarded as heaven’s will?

Well, White Wolf could not continue figuring it out.

The cries on the battlefield stopped, as if someone had pressed a pause button.

They looked at the canopy in disbelief. After the Great Cultivators confirmed that Li Ye was not dead and informed all the demons, they were not as curious as White Wolf about the reason why Li Ye was not dead. Instead, they burst out in earth-shattering cheers to celebrate the matter that they thought was worth celebrating all together.

Their reaction was simple and direct.

Why didn’t Li Ye die?

Did it matter?

At least, it did not matter when compared to the fact that Li Ye did not die.

Li Ye did not die. The hero who saved everyone did not die. Wasn’t that the most important thing?

Ordinary people only cared about the results and did not want to understand obscure reasons. Everyone had limited energy. As long as the result was satisfactory, why should they care so much?

Then the shouts of “Childe Li” became louder and louder, as if they were going to overturn Blackstone Mountain. However, this time, there was no sorrow or unwillingness in the shouts. Even though some of them were still crying, they were all excited.

Li Ye turned around and faced the seemingly crazy cultivators of the demon clan. He felt that they were cute. This scene clearly told Li Ye that as long as he called for action, the demons were willing to follow him until they died.

They experienced despair. It was Li Ye who gave them hope and won their gratitude. Li Ye fought with them side by side and held back the immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm with his cultivation in the Ground Immortal Realm. He won their admiration. Finally, when they won the battle, all the demons survived, but Li Ye bravely “died” on the battlefield, which made them cry out loud.

They fought together and faced the enemy together. They went through life and death together and bathed in glory together. They were already one.

If Li Ye could not win their hearts with such strong and powerful mood swings, what else could make them so moved?

“You have even cried for me. If you said that you did not agree with me, could you still feel your conscience?”

“Although there were a lot of casualties in the big battle, there are still four to five thousand cultivators of the demon clan in front of me. Together with four to five hundred Great Cultivators and the cultivators of Liuxi Town, I have a powerful force, so I can bring them to Macaque Mountain and fight the Macaque King head-on.” Li Ye was deep in thought and felt that his future was bright.

A little later, the Great Cultivators came together with some questions.

“Childe Li.” They first greeted Li Ye. A leading cultivator of the demon clan had been elected. He hesitated for a moment, maybe because he felt a little uncomfortable after Li Ye’s effort and the current atmosphere, if he asked this question. “Childe Li, would you mind telling us your identity?”

Before Li Ye’s reply, he took the initiative to explain. “Childe Li, you are a cultivator from the human world and we have never seen you before. With your fighting ability, you should not be a nobody, and...”
