"From the moment I set foot in Huangli County, I felt it's very... weird."
In the courtyard of a cottage, Song Jiao looked up at the stars. The starlight on her pretty face made her look mysterious as if she was wearing proper makeup.
Li Ye sat on a small chair in the courtyard with his hands behind his head and his back against the back of the chair, leaving the first two legs of the chair suspending in midair. He was very relaxed and looked at the night sky with great ease.
He had never seen such bright stars before his transmigration. It was hard to see so many stars in his previous world, especially in cities. "Stars are the same stars with nothing special. Of course, I don't understand the astrology, so I can't figure out anything."
Song Jiao looked back and saw that Li Ye was very comfortable, with his legs crossed and the wooden chair swaying back and forth. She could not help but push him off the chair and sat on the ch
Seeing the injured Liu Zhiyan, Ugly Man screamed and gave him a punch with his left fist. However, before his fist could even reach Li Ye, Li Ye had already had a hand knife in his right hand and slit his neck. The ugly man fell feebly on the ground with a bang. He blacked out and could not stand up for a while. Meanwhile, Shangguan Qingcheng, Wang Li and the rest, had hijacked the other small boats and started a fight with the members of Changhe Gang. They were all practitioners of Qi techniques, especially Wang Li and the rest, who had entered the Qi-refining Stage for a long time. Apart from Liu Zhiyan and Ugly Man, the members from Changhe Gang only had cultivation from the Mortal Realm. They might be the elites in Wei River gang, but in front of Wang Li and the rest, they seemed vulnerable. They did not have the ability to retaliate and were pushed into the river one after the other. "I will fight you!" she said. Liu Zhiyan wiped the bl
Li Ye fell on the river again. He just stepped on a broken piece of wood with his toe and before he could get up, he heard a roar. There was a giant golden ax shining above his head. The ax chopped down quickly as if it was cutting into a mountain. The person, who was holding a giant ax, was a muscular and burly cultivator. He was as strong as a hill. When Li Ye looked up, he had noticed that the cultivator's cultivation was above Level 5 of Qi-refining. As the ax fell, it suddenly reached six meters. Li Ye was as small as an ant in front of it. Its power could not be underestimated! Li Ye lifted his Luke Sword. Sword Qi soared instantly. "Boom." The ax hit the Sword Qi, causing explosive sounds and waves of Spiritual Qi. The attack of the giant ax didn't stop until it hit his Luke Sword. Instantly, river water around Li Ye exploded constantly as if countless thunder were falling into the river. The spray was everywhere, blocki
The Wei River. Under the willows on the riverside, Liu Zhiyan leaned against the trunk with her hand over her shoulder and scarlet blood on her mouth. She looked at the waterfalls in the river and the astonishing "Thousands of Arrows Formation". She was too shocked to speak. Over her head, Ugly Man hung on the branch like a dried fish. He tried several times to move his hands in front of his knees, but he was too weak to get off the branch. When Li Ye threw them over here, he was obviously unluckier than Liu Zhiyan who landed stably. Under the dazzling white light, Ugly Man turned his head hard and took a glance at the fight on the river. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and said intermittently, "This guy... who the hell is he? He needs to be dealt with such means?" Because of the injuries, Liu Zhiyan looked painful. She whispered between her teeth. "I'm afraid that the person, who Duke Wei wants us to lure, is not a small pota
There were wounded attackers wandering around the periphery to look for an opportunity to attack Li Ye. At this moment, they retreated quickly for fear of being affected. The cultivator, who had fallen into the water and spoken, looked horrified. "Master Chen is using 'Sea and Flood Dragons'! He hasn't used this cultivation method for a long time. The last time when he used it was in Bagong Mountain!" The other person said in awe, "This is Master Chen's supreme art of defeating enemies. This guy will die without doubt this time!" Li Ye didn't dare to underestimate the attack of the four dragons. The attack was obviously more powerful than that of Thousands of Arrows Formation, whether because of Chen Jianghe's movements or the momentum of the four dragons. This was a deadly attack of a cultivator in Level 7 of Qi-refining! Even if Li Ye could easily defeat the ordinary cultivators in Level 6 of Qi-refining when he used the cultivation method
Li Ye stabbed at Chen Jianghe. Seeing that the four water dragons couldn't return in time, Chen Jianghe felt astounded and quickly bit the tip of his tongue to spurt bloody fog. At the same time, he gave up control of the water dragons and formed a Spiritual Qi Shield before himself. When the blood spray was spurted on the Spiritual Qi Shield, the Spiritual Qi Shield became bloody and looked strange and strong. The Sword Qi fell on the Spiritual Qi Shield, the shield shattering and the Sword Qi also dissipating completely. Seeing that he couldn't hurt Chen Jianghe, Li Ye suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Sword Qi Born Lotus!" A Lotus of Spiritual Qi appeared before the Luke Sword where almost all Sword Qi had dissipated. Then the decadent Sword Qi became sharp again. When the Green Lotus appeared, Chen Jianghe's expression changed. Luke Sword was in front of him, and he felt an unprecedented crisis which made his
Li Ye waved his hand and Luke Sword flew back to his hand. He stood on a piece of broken wood with his sword, coldly looking around. Those cultivators responded to Chen Jianghe's call and came from all sides, but only saw decapitated Chen Jianghe. Immediately, they all stopped, as if they were immobilized by someone. They looked at the scene in front of them with astonishment, not daring to rush forward. "Ah... Master Chen failed?" someone asked. "Yes, and he also died..." "Master Chen has high cultivation and had experienced a lot in Jianghu. How could he died?" "Master Chen is really dead. He had been decapitated!" They looked at Li Ye with fear. Looking at each other, they all stepped back simultaneously. Li Ye had killed Chen Jianghe. They could not defeat Li Ye. Seeing Li Ye's cold gaze, they all trembled and rushed back. "Master Chen is dead. The mission had failed.
A courier station was 120 miles east of Huangli County. It was not big. There were about seven rooms and two or three horses and some of the courtyard walls had collapsed. Dim lights radiated from the westernmost room. A figure was reflected on the window paper, twisted. In the room, Li Keyong stood. His hands clasped behind his back and he looked up at a landscape painting on the wall, not moving and talking, as if he was meditating. The landscape had its own way. And what Li Keyong was meditating wasn't the rule of landscape, but the rule of the Imperial Court and the whole world. This was not easy, so he frowned all the time. After a while, somebody knocked at the door and a slightly rushing voice came from outside the door, "General, there's an urgent report from Huangli County." Li Keyong widened his eyes slightly and still looked at the painting. "Come in." The door
"It's a pity that the most powerful person is dead. He can prove that Wei Baoheng asked people to murder me." Li Ye returned to the shore, touched his chin and looked at the corpse in front of him, feeling regrettable. The corpse was Chen Jianghe. When he fell to the river, Li Ye salvaged him so that he hadn't been washed away by the river. Chen Jianghe had died, which was a loss to Li Ye. But at that time he was in a fierce battle and could not think about too much. However, the corpse was also useful. After all, Chen Jianghe was Wei Baoheng's one of the important masters and many people had seen him. So Wei Baoheng couldn't deny. Moreover, Wang Li and others also seized several attackers. With their confession, the evidence was enough. As Li Ye had expected, Wei Baoheng made a mistake. And Li Ye caught the other's mistake. Some officials died and were injured, but it was not serious. Those who could fight with the attackers o
