The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 473 Hero, You Can’t Die
“Don’t just stand there. Go to help the other cultivators,” Li Ye ordered Qi Potian.

As Duchess, the proprietress, and Hong Xiu were fighting, none of the fierce beasts that rushed into this area gained any advantage, and most of them were killed halfway.

Among the fierce beasts, the one with the highest strength was just in the Spiritual Master Realm. No matter how brutal and numerous they were, they were not a threat to them at all. After all, the gap between the Immortal Realm and the Mortal Realm was very big. It would be a large number to fill the gap.

Only four to five thousand fierce beasts were attacking the cultivators in the forest. Of course, only Li Ye dared to use the word “only”. The other cultivators were now in a desperate situation.

The cultivators around Li Ye’s area were approaching them spontaneously while they were fighting. They didn’t need to be observant. As long as they were not blind, they could notice the abnormality of fighting here. Not to mention other things, the fierce beasts’ bodies on the ground piled up into small hills in many places.

And as the battle went on, because of the great power of Li Ye and the others, all the trees collapsed in the surrounding area of several thousand feet, revealing an open space. In the dense forest, it was particularly eye-catching.

In comparison, the open spaces that the other cultivators created with a radius of more than ten feet or a hundred feet were inferior.

After the battle in front of him came to an end, Li Ye, of course, wanted to help the other cultivators. Although the demons at the Qi-refining Stage were useless for him, he needed to establish fame. After all, fame would be contagious.

In fact, Li Ye didn’t need to take the initiative to help the other demons because the nearby demons were coming to them after the battle here came to an end.

“Help me, friend!”

“Help me, Your Majesty!”

“Help me, hero!”

“Help us! Please!”

“Help me, and I’ll give all my magic tools and spiritual stones to you!”

Among these cultivators, there were demons and human beings. They crazily rushed to Li Ye and the others by movement techniques while they were shouting at them eagerly. The fierce beasts were chasing after them.

In their eyes, Li Ye and the others were the great masters who came down from the sky. Otherwise, they couldn’t have killed several hundred fierce beasts with the force of several cultivators. And the bodies on the ground were really too spectacular.

But they also knew that although Li Ye and the others were powerful Great Cultivators, they were not necessarily willing to help them. After all, no one could reap without sowing in the territory of the demon clan. So when they rushed over in a panic, most of them were worried and afraid because the fierce beasts behind them were indeed a problem.

If they annoyed the Great Cultivators, they were afraid that they would wield their swords toward them.

That was possible. The independent cultivators in Liuxi Town, who were attached to various groups, were severely blackmailed. But the point was that these cultivators’ forces did not have the strength to protect them at all.

Not only couldn’t they protect the independent cultivators, but they also rushed to Li Ye with them to seek shelter.

As a result, many cultivators said that they were willing to pay the price for saving their lives.

Li Ye’s eyes lit up when he heard the shouts, saw the cultivators running over from all directions, and saw the endless fierce beasts stepping on grass and hitting trees behind them.

At that moment, Li Ye was inspired, and he suddenly came up with a wonderful idea. His eyes became particularly bright when he looked at the cultivators and the fierce beasts.

Before Qi Potian received the order and fought, Li Ye took the lead to fly up, standing a thousand feet high above the open space, so that more cultivators could see him.

He held the sword with one hand, and his clothes and hair were fluttering automatically. Luke Sword lit up with cyan and while flames, making him look like an immortal. Li Ye shouted suddenly, attracting many cultivators’ attention.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he said proudly, “Don’t panic, everyone. I’m Li Congjing, a master in the Ground Immortal Realm. My four friends in the Immortal Realm and I are fighting here to help you resist the fierce beasts’ attack! Come close to me quickly, and then form a formation to protect yourselves in the open space. I’ll kill these several thousand fierce beasts for you!”

After saying that, Li Ye wielded his sword in the air. In an instant, several streams of cyan and white light flew out. The Sword Qi was extremely sharp and cut countless trees. With sounds of vibration, it killed the fastest fierce beasts in succession.

When the fierce beasts pounced on the cultivators, they were extremely powerful. But when they encountered Li Ye’s Sword Qi, all of them were cut in two pieces. There was no room for them to react. Moreover, after the Sword Qi killed a fierce beast, its power didn’t decrease and it continued to kill the following fierce beasts.

The Sword Qi with a width of more than a hundred feet could kill a group of fierce beasts!

As streams of Sword Qi flew out, the crisp sounds of trees being cut were heard in the forest. The fierce beasts howled before death. The blood splashed like rain. Under the foil, the sword light became sharper.

Seeing this, the cultivators immediately looked at Li Ye with respect and gratitude. In such a fierce battle, it was hard to find a master who would take pity on little cultivators.

Following Li Ye’s instructions, they quickly gathered in the open space and formed a defensive formation to protect themselves.

A bearded cultivator at the high-level Qi-refining Stage was seriously injured and finally came to the formation. He was moved to tears after surviving. He immediately shouted, “Hero, you’re mighty. I’m willing to take out all my spiritual stones to you!”

Hearing this, the cultivators around him echoed his words.

Unexpectedly, Li Ye, who was in the air, snorted and said unhappily, “I, Li Congjing, am a master, so I have the master’s virtue. It’s righteous to help you, and I can’t refuse. How can I covet your rewards? Don’t say such words again. Otherwise, I will be unhappy!”

When the cultivators heard this and saw Li Ye fighting hard, they were so moved that they wanted to kneel and kowtow.

When the proprietress saw this, she sighed in her heart. “Young cultivators, you’ve been moved too early!”

As the cultivators joined in succession, the fighting ability of the cultivators in the open space was greatly enhanced, with the help of Duchess, Hong Xiu, the proprietress, and Qi Potian. They began to launch techniques and attack the fierce beasts that were attacking them.

When the situation was stable, Li Ye immediately flew to another place with Duchess. He also created another open space and then called the cultivators to gather together. So, as expected, he won another touching cry of singing praises.

Especially, when they saw Li Ye, with blood covering his body, bravely rushing into the group of fierce beasts, the cultivators were moved to tears.

They hadn’t seen such a master of virtue for many years… No, they had never seen such a master!

After he fought in one place after another like this for a long time, the cultivators who were still alive in the forest were basically rescued by Li Ye. He gathered the cultivators together from various open spaces and reorganized the formation. Gathering all cultivators’ power to fight the fierce beasts that kept attacking.

Then Li Ye found that there were already two to three thousand fierce beasts’ bodies. Duchess and he almost killed all of them, and their offensive became weaker. Li Ye felt a sense of crisis as the cultivators gradually stopped praising him because they could resist the fierce beasts.

Suddenly, he screamed in the group of fierce beasts, which immediately attracted all cultivators’ attention. “What a fierce beast! It hurt me… Ah, I am injured again!”

“Hero, don’t panic. We are coming to help you!” When the cultivators heard the sound, they were anxious and wanted to counterattack. However, the fierce beasts were still very powerful, so their attack was quickly restrained.

At this time, Li Ye shouted righteously, “Don’t move! There are too many fierce beasts. I’m in the Ground Immortal Realm, but I will inevitably get hurt. If you take the initiative to fight, you will die in vain! Don’t worry. Even if I die here tonight, I will fulfill my promise and ensure your safety!”

While saying this, he rushed to kill the fierce beasts everywhere again and screamed from time to time. “I’m injured again. What a fierce beast! I’m running out of Spiritual Qi. Don’t take action rashly…”

“Hero!”

“Hero, you can’t die!”

“Hero, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life!”

“I’m willing to go through fire and water for you!”

The cultivators shouted while resisting the siege of fierce beasts. This scene made their blood boil, and Li Ye’s words and behavior made them burst into tears. Some female cultivators even cried.

Duchess and the proprietress were speechless when the cultivators wanted to go through fire and water with Li Ye, looking crazy.

Of course, they knew that with Li Ye’s fighting ability, it was impossible for the fierce beasts to hurt him.

If You Daxiao were here, he would definitely sigh with emotion at Li Ye’s high talent in acting.

Duchess and the proprietress were not worried and knew clearly Li Ye’s thoughts, but Hong Xiu and Qi Potian didn’t know how powerful Li Ye was. At this moment, they were deeply impressed by Li Ye when they saw Li Ye fighting the fierce beasts and sharing the pressure for the cultivators.

Hong Xiu looked at Li Ye’s figure with obsession. “He’s a peerless hero. He’s the one I’m destined to wait for. I’m so lucky!”

Qi Potian was stunned, saying, “I didn’t expect that Brother Li would be so righteous. Compared with him, my previous behavior of being obsessed with treasures is worse than that of a beast!”

He now doubted whether Li Ye would die in the group of fierce beasts.

There were too many fierce beasts to see the end of them, and many of them had the strength of the Spiritual Master Realm. If a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm fought alone among them, he wouldn’t be invincible. Moreover, he couldn’t find Li Ye’s figure at all. He could only see the sword light flash from time to time and hear the scary screams.

Wu You, the proprietress, Hong Xiu, and Qi Potian were taking care of the cultivators’ formation, and each of them was in charge of a place. If they left, the cultivators probably wouldn’t survive the siege of the beasts.

With this in mind, the cultivators were more moved.

The battle lasted for a long time. When the cultivators finally repelled the beasts that were attacking them, the bodies outside the open space piled up like a wall, which was spectacular. The blood flowed like streams under the bodies and spread to the cultivators’ feet. Even the rotten leaves with the thickness of several decimeters couldn’t cover it.

The smell of blood was mixed with all kinds of strange and disgusting smells, which made people nauseous. Especially, the fierce beasts’ internal organs scattered everywhere, making people almost crazy.

But now, the cultivators didn’t look at the dead beasts. Even though some female cultivators were vomiting while bending over, they still forced themselves to follow the team out of the open space and rush to the place where Li Ye fought his last battle.

The fierce beasts retreated, and there was no sound of fighting there, but the cultivators didn’t know whether Li Ye was still alive.

In an area of broken branches, the fierce beasts’ bodies scattered everywhere. Many broken limbs were still hanging on the trees, dripping blood incessantly.

Because there was no battle or sword light, the dark forest frightened the cultivators. They were afraid that Li Ye was already dead.

“Is Hero Li already dead?” A female cultivator looked at the scene in front of her with tears in her eyes.

“No! Hero Li is a noble character. He won’t be killed by the fierce beasts!” the bearded cultivator growled with red eyes, and his eyes were mixed with conviction and pain, as if he was trying to convince himself.

“If the hero is still alive, I will follow him. Even if I have to die, I must die by his side!” a hot-blooded cultivator gnashed his teeth and swore.

The cultivators rushed into the broken branches and scattered to shout Li Ye’s name. They kept pushing away the fierce beasts’ bodies to look for Li Ye. Everyone was anxious, nervous, and uneasy, as if they were afraid that they would dig out Li Ye’s body.

When the cultivators were depressed and sorrowful, a slight cough was heard from not far away. Then the fierce beasts’ bodies on a fallen tree trunk were pushed away. Li Ye, who was covered in blood, stood up with difficulty in front of everyone. With his long sword on the ground, he looked at the cultivators on the trunk.
