The Emperor Reigns Them All Chapter 53 The Cold Xiao

The full moon was large and round as its light fell from the sky. Li Guanshu and Wei Tianhe stood on the waterfall, showing only their outline, a black silhouette of long hair and clothes flying together.

Meanwhile, seven or eight human figures appeared one after another. They looked at them covetously at the top of the waterfall.

It was breezy and humid under the night sky. Li Ye stood up beside the lotus pond.

He looked up at the arrogant Duke who was looking down upon his six masters of Level 6 Qi-refining. He had killed his father and was a roadblock on his way.

"Why don't you run Li Ye? You know how to escape. I wouldn't be able to find you. But, the Emperor does not let down a man who does his best and this time, you can't run away!" Li Guanshu sneered and pointed at Li Ye. "Remove his head for me!"

Wei Tianhe pulled out his knife and jumped up from the waterfall. He jumped down from a high cliff. He held his long knife high above his head. In mid-air, he had stroke out a Knife Qi of ten meters long. The white Knife Qi was going to hit Li Ye's head.

At the same time, seven or eight cultivators of Qi-refining jumped down from the waterfall one after another, stepped on the rocks and trees on both sides, and were as vigorous as birds, enclosing from different directions to the lotus pond.

The Knife Qi fell heavily and Li Ye and Song Jiao dodged to both sides. The white Knife Qi hit the round altar and burst out a trench of ten decimeters deep. The white jade railings and floor tiles broke up in the sound of explosion, flying around. And the water in the pool rose, which looked like a curtain.

"Li Ye, you're doomed to die today!" Wei Tianhe River, who lost in Luoping Village, was fierce now and had already come to attack Li Ye before the splas.h.i.+ng rubble and water fell. The long knife launched several Knife Qi which blocked Li Ye's directions of avoidance.

Li Ye defensed with his sword. The Luke sword was wielded in succession and launched several Sword Qi which collided with the Knife Qi. Under the sound of explosion, he made incantation gestures and a Spiritual Qi s.h.i.+eld raised. He pa.s.sed through the Light s.h.i.+eld of Spiritual Qi which exploded like fireworks and took the lead in attacking Wei Tianhe with his sword.

"Boy, how dare you don't run away! But you attack a cultivator of Level 5 Qi-refining with your Level 3 cultivation, you're doomed to fail. Today I'll tell you what strength the Level 5 Qi-refining cultivator have!"

Wei Tianhe gave a fierce laugh and then his long knife fell down. He only wielded for one time, but Knife Qi came one knife after another. In a very short period of time, all of the Knife Qi came to Li Ye, like waves cras.h.i.+ng on the sh.o.r.e one after another, which was magnificent. "Wave-like Chop!"

Li Ye had recovered after he absorbed the power of lotuses. Now facing Wei Tianhe's full-blown attack, he quickly mobilized the Spiritual Qi in his body and communicated with the three green lotuses in his Ocean of Qi. For a moment, an indescribable but extremely sharp power of lotus leaped out of the Ocean of Qi and poured into the meridians and spread to the sword.

Feeling this powerful Spiritual Qi, Li Wei shouted in a low voice. "Sword Qi born lotus!"

"Go to h.e.l.l!" Wei Tianhe shouted.

Sword and knife faced each other, and lotus faced the waves. Spiritual Qi was frantically squeezed in an instant. Whether it was Sword Qi or Knife Qi, all of them crazily inclined to both sides and were broken into powder. However, the Spiritual Qi was too strong and overwhelming so that it didn't immediately dissipated, but shot to the ground like arrows, causing successive bombardment and mud flying!

At the same time, knife and sword clashed with each other, s.h.i.+ning brilliantly. Lotuses and waves vanished. The sound of explosion was clear and loud and it was as harsh as the sound of friction of mental. In a very short moment, Li Ye's and Wei Tianhe's long hair fluttered backwards like a waterfall and looked like they're stuck.

Wei Tianhe was sure he would win and cruelty flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have seen the scene that Li Ye was slaughtered by him and flesh and blood flew in all directions. There not only were two levels between Level 3 Qi-refining and Level 5 Qi-refining, but also was the difference between the middle level of Qi-refining and the low level of Qi-refining. Their strength was not at one level.

"Boom." The knife and the sword were shaken at the same time.

Wei Tianhe's gaze changed suddenly. The cruel and proud look was still on his face, but he had been astonished in mind, which made his face look particularly stiff. "How could this be?"

They exerted all their energies. Weitianhe not only didn't cut off Li Ye's Sword Qi and kill Li Ye, but also didn't gain any benefit. They had a draw after this attack!

The cultivation method Wave-like Chop Wei Tianhe practiced was famous for its ferocity. Even in Chang'an City, it was in middle level. He exerted all his efforts to deal with a cultivator of Level 3 Qi-refining and didn't meet with success. This made him feel amazing!

At the moment when the sword and knife were shaking, Li Ye's punched Wei Tianhe with his left fist.

Wei Tianhe was indeed a master, not a master who only had cultivation and had no practical experience. On the contrary, he had excellent fighting skills. Although Li Ye's punch was unexpected and extremely fast, he didn't lose his head even thought he was astonished. He mobilized his Spiritual Qi instantly and met Li Ye's punch with his fist.

"Go the h.e.l.l! Break!" Wei Tianhe screamed.

What he meant was naturally that he would break Li Ye's arm with a punch.

Wei Tianhe had this confidence. He was a master of Level 5 Qi-refining!

At this moment, he had believed in his mind that when their knife and sword collided just now, the reason why he didn't succeed was that Li Ye's cultivation method was strong and the Cla.s.s-ranking of Luke Sword was high so that Li Ye's Spiritual Qi had been increased!

But now Li Ye unexpectedly punched, and it was a simple and direct punch. He did not use any cultivation method. They fought hand-in-hand. Li Ye was bound to lose!

Li Ye punched and didn't use the Sword Qi Born Lotus. And in the Purple Clouds from the East, it was not said that punch could born lotus. However, after he subconsciously mobilized the power of three green lotus, a lotus of Spiritual Qi appeared before his fist.

The power this punch had increased by a step!

The two fists collided with each other without any fancy. Then they took two steps backwards and went to deuce again!

Wei Tianhe's look changed directly this time. He widened his eyes and stared at Li Ye incredibly. "You're in Level 4 of Qi-refining? How could this happen?!"

From the collision of their fists, Wei Tianhe finally clearly felt that Li Ye's cultivation had reached Level 4 of Qi-refining!

"When you were in Luoping Village, you were still in Level 3 of Qi-refining! In just two days, you should have reached a higher level?! What did Sanqingguan request you so that they promise you such benefits?!"

Wei Tianhe was full of shock and surprise. The young Prince An in front of him had no cultivation months ago and was called a waste for 20 years. But in a short time, his cultivation had been increased for several levels, which was incredibly fast. This kind of transformation made Wei Tianhe feel a huge gap after comparing himself with Li Ye.

Li Ye ignored Wei Tianhe's words and his face was still calm. He started a fight again!

"Come on together and surround him!" Wei Tianhe shouted loudly. Facing monster-like Li Ye, he had no confidence in winning now. So he could only besiege with all the people. After shouting this sentence, he felt bitter as if he had eaten Chinese goldthread. Li Ye whom he could kill easily in Luoping Village now had enhanced in an instant!

However, the bitterness of Wei Tianhe quickly eased a lot.

A domineering palm came from the sky and hit the Li Ye!

Li Ye, who was going to attack Wei Tianhe, had to stop and defended. He stablized himself and kept his sword in front of his chest!

The huge palm made up of Spiritual Qi came from the sky and instantly hit Li Ye!

Li Ye was. .h.i.t by the palm and his clothes and hair swung back suddenly. He spit out a mouthful of blood in an instant and his feet sank deep into the ground. The turbulent Spiritual Qi exploded beside him, leaving a plam print on the ground which was as deep as 15 decimeters and a human figure in the middle of the palm.

Li Guanshu had attacked Li Ye by himself!

Li Guanshu slowly drifted down in front of the waterfall. He looked at Li Ye disdainfully. "You're so lucky. Firstly you got the inheritance of Celestial Master Yuan. You had reached Qi-refining in one step and cultivation greatly increased within a day. Then you had adventure in Sanqingguan and you cultivation increased again! I have to admit that I'm deeply afraid of you! I have seen innumerable geniuses, but have not seen someone like you. You're not a genius, but an evil! Today, I'll attack you personally and kill you here. I can't tolerate that you made troubles for me, let alone watch you grow stronger day by day!"

Li Ye stood straight, standing steadily with his sword and wiping blood from his mouth at will.

At the moment when Li Guanshu spoke, seven or eight of his men had surrounded Li Ye and blocked all his way to retreat.

Li Guanshu raised his hand slowly and said coldly in a sentencing tone: "Li Ye, I'll deal with you by myself. You..."

Just as Li Guanshu was about to launch an attack, a sneer was heard.

There was a lady in purple whose age was undistinguishable stood on the top of a peach tree on the side of the bamboo bridge. She was pulling out a jade Xiao, and her gaze was full of mockery.

"I've only been in seclusion for a few days, and I can't imagine that I'm standing here, but n.o.body notice me... Is it that the Jianghu was too ruthless or that I'm worthless?"

After Song Jiao's words were finished, the jade Xiao had blown gently before her red lips.

When Li Guanshu heard the voice, his face suddenly changed.

Before Song Jiao made a sound, Li Guanshu did not notice that there was still a man standing on the peach tree beside the hut.

Even though this woman was standing with Li Ye before Wei Tianhe started a fight.

But since she withdrew from the Knife Qi of Wei Tianhe, everyone, including Li Guanshu, had neglected her existence!

The cultivation of such a person was not too weak, but was so strong that she could completely conceal his own breath, so that people could not be aware of her and could not help but ignore her.

Even Li Guanshu ignored her.

Li Guanshu stared at Song Jiao suddenly. He couldn't be calm any longer and could not keep his att.i.tude of pretension and superiority.

Because his cultivation was not higher than her.

Song Jiao could achieve that, which meant her cultivation at least was not lower than Li Guanshu's!

Li Guanshu looked at Song Jiao and found that he did not know the woman.

This woman was skilled at Face s.h.i.+ft Method.

However, in the next moment, Li Guanshu's face turned pale.

Because the sound of Xiao had been heard.

The sound of Xiao sounding from the mountains was as elusive as the dreams of the past, as pleasant as the sounds of birds and flowers, and as breathtaking as the battles in battlefield.

With the sound of the Xiao, a chill rose from the bottom of everyone's heart.

It was not a false chill, it was a real chill.

Because the soles of their feet, their robes, their limbs and their eyebrows have frozen, and even the branches and leaves of the trees beside them were covered with ice and snow. The stoppless waterfall was frozen and it was going to solidify!

Everyone was badly-looking.

Because what would be solidified was not only the trees and waterfalls, but also the Spiritual Qi in their bodies!

Because of this sound and the snow and ice that covered everything, Li Guanshu remembered an amazing name, and a character that had been feared by countless masters.

He pointed to the purple robe woman on the peach tree, and his eyes were widened. "This song clearly is the Coldness of Yi River... If you don't hear the Coldness of Yi River, you don't know the coldness. The sound of jade Xiao will make hundreds of ghosts return! This Xiao... Cold Xiao. You are one of the seven disciples of White Deer Sect... Song Jiao!"
