The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 458 A Sudden Enlightenment

It meant that they firmly believed that as long as the demons didn’t make trouble and affect Li Ye, Li Ye would definitely defeat the demon python.

“What makes you so confident in Prince An?” Wu Liuqi was puzzled.

Soon, Wu Liuqi was not puzzled anymore because the battle between Li Ye and the demon python reached the winning point.

Li Ye looked calm.

All that time, Li Ye looked calm and sharp.

He didn’t stop his attack. He knew that whenever he stopped, the demon python would fight back in full strength. And he also knew that the demon python was waiting for the opportunity to complete the reversal. With his opponent’s cultivation at the peak of the Real Immortal Realm, it was impossible for Li Ye to turn the tables if the situation developed like this.

The demon python was undoubtedly much more powerful than the demon tiger in the Star Pavilion. The demon tiger was at the middle stage of the Real Immortal Realm, while the demon python was only a step away from the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm.

If Li Ye’s fighting ability was still the same as when he fought the demon tiger, he would have been defeated by the demon python at this moment. It was only two days, but Li Ye’s cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and he could also mobilize more ordinary people’s Luck in his Immortal Area.

In addition, the Luke Sword became more powerful because of the upgrade of its class-ranking, which made Li Ye’s fighting ability improve a lot.

That was why he was unbeaten.

The demon python was suppressed by Li Ye because Li Ye took the initiative in the battle from the very beginning.

Of course, the demon python could not reverse the situation very quickly, which also meant that he had no advantage in fighting Li Ye.

The demon python roared several times and enhanced his cultivation for he wanted to drive Li Ye away to change the battle situation, but he was suppressed by Li Ye aggressively every time.

As a result, the demon python had more and more wounds on his body.

The demon python was humiliated and unwilling. As the battle went on, he was about to go mad.

So Li Ye knew that the demon python was going to fight desperately.

If he didn’t fight desperately, he would be defeated at the end, which was unacceptable to the demon python in any case. His self-esteem wouldn’t allow him to be defeated by a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm. Moreover, he couldn’t bear the loss of the defeat—60 to 70 cultivators who signed the contract would become Li Ye’s possession.

If the situation developed like this, even if Li Ye didn’t kill the demon python, the demon bear would kill him.

“You are just a mortal in the Ground Immortal Realm. You made me do this!” The demon python suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. With his clothes fluttering, he burst out blood-colored Spiritual Tides.

As soon as the blood-colored Spiritual Tides appeared, it had the momentum to make the demons breathless and soon covered the whole City Lord’s Mansion.

Li Ye had no choice but to retreat as he was hit by the blood-colored Spiritual Tides.

At the same time, the demon python’s clothes and hair were dancing wildly. With a ferocious look, he was bleeding on his face, like a ghost. People could no longer see his pupils in his red eyes. There was bright red light in them, like two pools of blood. Wisps of blood-colored Spiritual Qi drifted out of his eyes, like wildfire!

All the demons’ expressions changed as they saw this. “Oh my god! The deputy commander is burning his life!”

“The deputy commander was forced to burn his life to reverse the situation!”

“Prince An is just in the Ground Immortal Realm. How could he be so powerful?”

“No matter how powerful he is, he’ll definitely lose for the deputy commander is using all his strength!”

“Not only will he lose, but he will also die! Originally, he didn’t have to die. The deputy commander might not kill him for fear of his identity. But now, the deputy commander is mad and lost his senses!”

All the demons cried out in horror and retreated at the same time, for fear of being injured accidentally. Some cultivators, who had low cultivation and bad mental, couldn’t help shuddering. They couldn’t bear the demon python’s pressure.

“Go to hell!” the demon python, who became horrible, roared again with disheveled hair. Wielding his ax and trident, he directly rushed toward Li Ye.

As he moved, the blood-colored Spiritual Tides around him swept toward Li Ye, like tides. Instead of thunder and lightning, the arrow-like blood waves were surging in front of the ax and the trident!

When the final moment came, fighters had no choice but to do their best until they died.

The Spiritual Wind rustled his clothes. Li Ye used his sword as a pen and drew a formation in front of him. “Purple Qi Yin and Yang!”

When he came out of the secret region of the Tao of Heaven, Li Ye resisted Zhang Ji’s full blow and successfully counterattack by this strike. Now, he was doing this to the demon python, too.

As the blood waves hit the formation of Yin and Yang, they swept around it, like a flood.

The demon python’s trident and ax also hit the formation.

So the formation exploded and was destroyed, and the blood waves disappeared.

Li Ye, who hid in the formation, was also cut out by the demon python.

The Luke Sword in his hand chopped down vertically!

The demon python raised his ax and trident to meet the Luke Sword with all his strength!

When the sword, the ax, and the trident hit together, they buzzed and trembled, as if they could not withstand the impact of such violent Spiritual Qi.

The two “people” didn’t withdraw their Magic Treasures because they couldn’t. They used all their strength and moves in the desperate battle. At this moment, whoever was first to withdraw his Magic Treasure, he would be hit by his opponent’s Magic Treasure.

This life-and-death blow reached a critical moment of the stalemate.

This showed the importance of Magic Treasures.

With a murderous look, the demon python stared at Li Ye. He smiled and said with murderous intents, “My Thunder Ax and Sea-splitting Trident are at the peak of the middle-ranking Magic Treasures. They’re only a step away from the high-ranking Magic Treasures, and they’re even not inferior to the ordinary high-ranking Magic Treasures! Since your Magic Treasure has not yet reached the high ranking, you will lose without a doubt!”

“Oh? Really?” Li Ye raised his eyebrows.

Wu You and all the demons were staring at them with full concentration. At this moment, their heartbeats even stopped!

As they watched nervously, with a click, the Magic Treasures were broken, and their pieces were flying away!

The demon python widened his eyes in disbelief.

The result of the stalemate was that Luke Sword cut off the ax and the trident.

In that instant, the demon python roared loudly in horror, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

His roar stopped abruptly because the Luke Sword was already in front of his throat!

…

The Steward Litter Bear didn’t stop reporting. Every once in a while, he would send someone to inform the demon bear of the new situation in the courtyard, so the demon bear knew that the demon python was fighting Li Ye. And before the fight, both of them were furious and hostile. Li Ye even said that you court death.

Moreover, 60 to 70 cultivators, as wagers, signed an irrevocable contract with You Daxiao.

The situation became very serious at this point. The carelessness might cause a result that the demon bear didn’t want to see. But the demon bear didn’t show up and stop them.

He knew that Li Ye acted wildly in the City Lord’s Mansion to force him to show up.

He couldn’t let Li Ye succeed.

He didn’t want to confront Li Ye. He knew that when he was forced to appear in front of Li Ye, he was already at a disadvantage. With Li Ye’s character, Li Ye would definitely blackmail him, and he would get pissed off.

Of course, that was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was that the demon bear hoped that the demon python would hurt Li Ye badly or even “accidentally” kill Li Ye!

Li Ye “cheated” the demon bear out of all his Magic Treasures so that the demon bear suffered heavy losses. In addition, Li Ye also stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion. The demon bear believed that Li Ye was planning something big. However, he couldn’t do anything to Li Ye because he didn’t want to be killed by the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King. He couldn’t restrict Li Ye as well because the demon leopard, that shit, was still there.

Just as the demon bear expected, Li Ye “cheated” the cultivators in the mansion out of many Magic Treasures today…

The demon bear was raging.

He felt that Li Ye must pay the price!

If Li Ye continued to make trouble in the City Lord’s Mansion, the demon bear felt that the whole City Lord’s Mansion would be emptied by Li Ye! It would be completely empty. Not only Magic Treasures but also Dan Pills would be taken away by Li Ye!

How could that be?

As long as the demon python killed Li Ye, the demon bear would feel relieved.

Best of all, Li Ye disappeared without the demon bear doing it himself.

Of course, as the Lord, the demon bear could hardly absolve himself from Li Ye’s death in the City Lord’s Mansion. But if the demon python killed Li Ye today, there was a reason for it. They were at gambling and lost their minds. Then, if the demon python killed Li Ye accidentally, the demon bear would be less culpable.

The key point was that the demon python would naturally become the one to take the blame.

Afterward, even if the Bull Demon King and the others were angry, they couldn’t kill the demon bear. As for not appearing in time to stop them from fighting, the demon bear could also say, “I’m out to chase the one who assassinated Prince An. I’m not in the mansion!”

And if he succeeded in this matter, the Macaque King would definitely be happy. The demon bear reckoned that his status would be promoted to a higher level.

Perfect!

So the demon bear did not show up.

He happily imagined that after Li Ye was killed, he could take back his Magic Treasures. He was very happy.

The demon bear suddenly realized that he was not so smart before. Why did he think of so many things at once? Why did he suddenly come to his senses?

Then the demon bear looked up at the sky and almost burst into tears. “This is all forced by Li Ye!”

Demons didn’t grow up or become mature because no one forced them! Only an unforgettable experience could make demons complete the transformation!

The demon bear wiped the tears in his eyes. He suddenly felt that his vision opened up after this matter, as if he had opened the door to a new world and his future was bright.

He even thought that he should thank Li Ye and build a magnificent grave for him…

Before long, however, the demon bear’s expression changed, and his eyes were filled with surprise and horror. He immediately flew out of the mansion. Over his head, the blood-colored Spiritual Tides already covered the whole City Lord’s Mansion, blocking the sky and the sun. The Spiritual Tides were surging and spreading to the whole city!

“This is… The demon python is burning his life?” The demon bear suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. “Is there anything wrong with the demon python? He’s the deputy commander of the city guards and the second most powerful figure in the City Lord’s Mansion!”

“It shouldn’t be. Li Ye can’t force the demon python to this point. He’s just a little more powerful than the demon tiger, and he should be no match for the demon python… Isn’t it…” The demon bear was suddenly startled. “Did the demon leopard fight?”

He slapped his forehead suddenly and cursed in his heart. He couldn’t sit still anymore and quickly flew to Li Ye’s courtyard.

Then he sadly realized that he didn’t become so smart that he would have a bright future because he forgot the demon leopard just now!

It made him feel as if his future was dark again.
