The Emperor Reigns Them All Chapter 44 Roadlessness (1)

Chapter 44 Roadlessness (1)

Xu Fengzhu was hard enough to deal with. Additionally, he also called two assistants. Even though Li Ye was extraordinary and had excellent fighting skills, he still had great difficulty in dealing with them and fell into danger.

Li Ye blocked the long sword coming from his right and then rolled on the ground. The Sword Qi of Xu Fengzhu didn’t hit his face, but skimd over his shoulder, causing a wound about five centiters long. Blood soaked into his clothes imdiately.

When Li Ye was rolling on the ground with his injured shoulder, the Luke Sword swept on the ground and cut off the right swordsman’s foot directly, blood splashing. The swordsman scread and fell with his foot in his arms.

“Damn it!” Seeing that his colleague was hurt, Xu Fengzhu was furious. When Li Ye got up and hadn’t stabilized himself yet, the long sword fell vertically towards him and white lights shone around its body.

Li Ye held up his Luke Sword to block it. The two swords struck each other in front of Li Ye’s eyebrows, which was extrely dangerous. After a clear and crisp sound, Xu Fengzhu’s sword cracked. The whole body of the sword was trembling and seed to be fragnted.

Li Ye couldn’t keep his balance. He struggled to grasp his Luke Sword and flew backward again.

Xu Fengzhu was sowhat startled. He didn’t know about the Luke Sword in Li Ye’s hands. Naturally, he couldn’t understand why his long sword cracked first in such a situation.

Xu Fengzhu knew that Li Ye’s status was noble and he might have a good weapon. However, the long sword in his hand was in Rank 2 and it hadn’t dulled when he fought with others. At this ti, seeing that his beloved long sword was going to break down, Xu Fengzhu was heartbroken.

However, what made Xu Fengzhu more heartbroken was still happening.

Li Ye flew backward because of Xu Fengzhu’s attack. It seed that he had no power to fight back, but actually that was not the case. He depended on the power of the attack of Xu Fengzhu’s long sword and with great force under his feet, he hit the attacker on the left side directly. The speed was very fast.

The attacker saw that Li Ye was repelled by Xu Fengzhu’s sword, and he knew that this was a good ti to kill Li Ye. So he rushed to Li Ye and was going to decapitate Li Ye from behind with his long sword.

However, when his sword was on the way, he suddenly realized sothing bad was going to happen. Li Ye’s speed was so fast that Li Ye had already bumped into him before his sword ca to Li Ye.

When Li Ye flew backward, he had turned his body in mid-air with the help of one foot, and now he was face to face with the attacker.

He raised his left hand and blocked the inside of his opponent’s right arm so that his sword could not hurt him. Almost at the sa ti, his shoulder hit the swordsman in the chest, causing the swordsman to fly away.

Li Ye and the swordsman directly fell into the woods. Leaves and thorns were left behind. Sunshine fell on their long flying hair through the cracks of the treetops.

Li Ye raised his left hand and heavily hit his opponent’s jaw. The attacker’s head bent backward because of Li Ye’s hit. “Boom!” The swordsman’s back hit the tree trunk and he stopped. He widened his eyes and stared at Li Ye, but could no longer move at all.

Li Ye had pierced his right rib with Luke Sword, and bloodstains littered their path. The grass and green leaves were still trembling, and the blood dripped quietly.

At this ti, Xu Fengzhu had co and his sword went straight to Li Ye’s heart!

“Your Highness!” Shangguan Qingcheng, who was fighting with the ax-wielding man, saw this scene. But it was too late for her to rescue Li Ye, so she cried out in horror.

Li Jing’an was the closest youth to Li Ye. At this ti, two attackers had fallen beside him. As one of the strongest two youths, he could kill the enemy quickly in close combat.

Li Jing’an saw that Li Ye was in danger.

He was very close to Li Ye. If he helped Li Ye, even if he only launched a Sword Qi, Xu Fengzhu would be stopped for a mont and Li Ye would have enough ti to react.

Li Jing’an’s gaze flickered. At this critical mont, he did not move.

Next to him, there was a woman who killed an attacker. Seeing that Li Jing’an didn’t move and also didn’t ask her to help, so she didn’t move either.

At this mont, expectation and joy flashed in Li Jing’an’s eyes.

He expected Li Ye to be stabbed and killed by Xu Fengzhu.

If Li Ye was stabbed and killed by Xu Fengzhu, he would be very happy.

If Li Ye died, it was possible for Li Jing’an to compete for the first place in this assessnt, which ant that he would probably get the best official position after this assessnt.

After the first battle in Luoping Village, Li Jing’an had treated Li Ye without prejudice and admired him. Perhaps he appreciated Li Ye too. Because of Li Ye, they were not deceived by Li Guanshu.

But as long as the assessnt was not over and they hadn’t returned to Chang’an, they were still in a competition. This was a dispute of interests above all else.

Because of the deep-rooted desire for profit, Li Jing’an unconsciously didn’t help Li Ye. Even he expected Li Ye to be assassinated by Xu Fengzhu.

However, the next mont, Li Jingan was disappointed.

In this critical mont, Li Ye pulled the Luke Sword out of the swordsman’s ribs, grabbed the swordsman’s collar, and moved behind the swordsman so that the swordsman could block him.

Xu Fengzhu ca to Li Ye with a sword in his hand and his sword was going to stab Li Ye. But he suddenly saw these changes and hurriedly took back his long sword.

At this ti, the Luke Sword in the hands of Li Ye was already in front of the swordsman’s throat.

The swordsman looked horrified, trembling slightly. Blood kept flowing from his chest, and he did not dare to move.

“How dare you?!” Xu Fengzhu was extrely angry. He stared at Li Ye who was holding the swordsman and wanted to hack him into pieces.

Under the mottled sunshine, Li Ye’s face was calm and his gaze was cold. He looked like a shadow, sending out cold air which seed to not be blocked by the sun in May.

The Luke Sword in his hand skimd through the swordsman’s throat and blood overflowed from it imdiately. The swordsman coughed painfully and fell over with his throat covered.

Xu Fengzhu flushed red and roared at Li Ye. He had no hatred for Li Ye before, but simply wanted to kill him. But now he had a great hatred for Li Ye, which made him want to risk his life killing Li Ye.

Once the battle took place, there was no room for retreat.

But at this mont, a sharp whistle sounded in an unknown place in the depth of the woods.

When Xu Fengzhu, who was fighting against Li Ye, heard the whistle, his look turned extrely bad.

That was the signal of retreat.

Their task was to assassinate several youths quickly instead of fighting with them for a long ti. After all, Wu You, Li Jing’an and their attendants were masters. Once they fell into a lee, it would be difficult for them to retreat. And once they were captured, their identities would be exposed.

Xu Fengzhu’s look was bad. He felt depressed and disgusted like eating a hundred flies. He hid in the woods, approached them quietly, suddenly attacked them and assassinated Li Ye by himself, but failed and lost two companions. He felt embarrassed.

But the order had been issued, and Xu Fengzhu had to retreat.

He sheathed his sword and turned.

He wanted to withdraw.

But soone did not want him to withdraw.

Li Ye disappeared in front of the tree.

“Sword Qi born lotus!”

A green lotus blossod under the sunshine, dazzling and holy.

And a sword reached Xu Fengzhu’s throat.

Xu Fengzhu stiffened in a mont. At this mont, he felt that his Spiritual Qi flowed slowly and his blood seed to have stopped flowing.

He instinctively noticed that this kind of stiffness would only exist for a mont. As soon as this mont passed, he would return to normal.

But he was more aware of what this mont ant to him. It was likely that there would no next mont for him. He might die directly!

Xu Fengzhu tried his best to bite the tip of his tongue and made a difficult syllable in his mouth, “Dispel!”

He shivered as if awakening from a dream.

Then he quickly ran away.

Xu Fengzhu felt joyful and thought that he had avoided Li Ye’s sword.

But he was wrong.

“Pftt.”

A sword light flashed.

Xu Fengzhu’s left arm was cut off and the amputated arm flew into the air.

He scread, feeling extre pain.

At this mont of crisis, he did not cover his shoulder, but crushed the invocation in his hand, like the others by the lake. “Escape!”

The invocation exploded and he and the others disappeared.

All the attackers disappeared, except those who were dead.

Even those injured were taken away by their companions.

The youths of the Imperial Clan by the lakeside were stunned for a mont. Those attackers fought with them just now, but now all of them disappeared.

They appeared suddenly and escaped quickly, which made the youths feel unprepared.

Those who had experienced a lot and masters like Wu You’s and Li Jing’an’s attendants had a serious look.

That was an Escape For Miles Invocation.

Although it didn’t an that one could really flee for a thousand miles, in this mountain it could help them escape and the youths couldn’t catch up with them.

Shangguan Qingcheng rushed to Li Ye and looked at his shoulder with concern. Wu You walked to Li Jing’an with a bad look and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you save Elder brother Ye just now?”

Li Jing’an was surprised. “I wanted to help him, but it was too late! Don’t misunderstand , Duchess of Li!”

The youths around looked at them doubtfully. They did not notice this side just now.

Wu You’s gaze beca colder. The Colorful Glazed Rings buzzed on her wrists and almost ca out of her hands. “You won’t admit it? That is to say, you don’t feel repentant at all?!”

The other youths saw that Wu You was so determined and ready to start a fight, so their looks beca strange and they all looked at Li Jing’an with doubts.

Li Jingan stepped back two steps. He clenched his teeth, staring at Wu You. “Duchess of Li, are you trying to stir up strife?”

“Li Ji has died!”

At that mont, a youth who knew Li Ji well picked up Li Ji’s corpse from the lake. When he spoke, his eyes were red. He clenched his teeth and said furiously. “This damned Li Guanshu. He dared to send people to assassinate us. He wants to kill us all. He’s crazy. I swear not to stand with him!”

Fang Zheng and the others surrounded Li Ji’s corpse, and all of them were sad. After listening to the words of that youth, they all expressed their agreent. “Li Guanshu commits all manner of cris. We must bring him to justice!”

Li Ye stood in the shade of a tree with a deep gaze, knowing everything clearly.
