The Emperor Reigns Them All Chapter 101 Justice Wins

After the Luke Sword and the rune-covered spear hit together, they bounced off at the same time, shining cyan light. But Li Ye and Li Keyong didn't step backward, because they had made an agreement that whoever retreated would lose. Both of them were proud and arrogant, so they wouldn't easily give in under ordinary circumstances.

Li Keyong suddenly had chest tightness and narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt a little surprised that he didn't take any advantage of the direct attack just now because the Thunderstorm Attack might seem simple, but it was very powerful. It was a simple and unadorned move. He had thought that even if Li Ye could catch it, Li Ye would at least be injured, but he didn't expect that Li Ye would look as usual and have no reaction.

At the same realm of cultivation, he could win with this winning strike before, but it didn't work today.

Li Keyong attributed his last defeat in Emperor's Son-in-law's Manor to the limited cultivation methods and many deadly attacks not being used. But now, it seemed that the means that Li Ye had shown last time weren't his full strength.

"Once again!" Li Keyong shouted in a low voice. He held firmly the spear that bounced back and turned it over to chop down Li Ye. At this moment, he lit up the dense runes on his spear by his Spiritual Qi.

His spear wasn't an ordinary magic treasure and it ranked four-class, which was rare in the world. In addition, it took a year for the abbot of Juexiao Temple in Yin Mountain to carve the runes on the spear with large power. It was great work and contained a formation. In the guarantee that it was indestructible, the formation had a great gain effect on the Spiritual Qi, which could make Li Keyong more powerful.

In the past, when fighting with others on the battlefield, Li Keyong was able to kill enemies beyond his cultivation power, not only because of his outstanding fighting skills but also because the spear, which could enhance his combat power by 30%, played a vital role.

The most reason that he refused to accept his failure over Li Ye last time in Emperor's Son-in-law's Manor was that he couldn't use the spear named "Destruction of Troops".

At the moment that the runes on the spear, Destruction of Troops, were all lit up, a thick and powerful hum sounded, breathtaking. At the same time, cyan lines formed a cylindrical formation pattern around the spear. It shook suddenly, causing stunning visual effects.

Li Keyong eased down and had the confidence to win with the powerful spear in his hand. He burst into a roar of unprecedented courage as the spear chopped down. "Kneel down!"

Li Ye's eyes turned slightly cold and serious.

Li Keyong's attack this time was obviously much more powerful than the previous Thunderstorm Attack. The rune formation shinning in front of him, Li Ye knew very well that it was the enhancement of the spear to the attack.

Li Ye held his sword up to his chest and kept his two left fingers together to wipe the sword.

The blood seeped into the sword instantly as it flowed across the blade. The runes of mountains and oceans on the Luke Sword were lit up by him immediately. Then his Dragon Qi and the power of the green lotus in his body were mobilized and injected into the Luke sword. All of a sudden, the Luke Sword sounded loudly again, cyan light shining brightly.

Before Li Ye could succeed in reaching Level 5 of Qi-refining, he was unable to light up all the runes on the Luke Sword so that his power against enemies wasn't great. Most of the time, he cut off his opponent's weapons relying on the material of the Luke Sword.

However, when he succeeded in reaching Level 5 of Qi-refining, things changed. He had been able to wield most of the power of the runes on the Luke Sword, but the Luke Sword ranked so high that he was unable to wield all the power of the runes with his current cultivation, therefore, he must sacrifice his blood!

When he fought against Chen Jianghe, Li Ye didn't need to use this attack, though Chen Jianghe was a master in Level 7 of Qi-refining. But now when he faced Li Keyong who was much more powerful, he no longer had any reservation.

The Luke Sword flew upward to meet the spear.

The Sword Qi around the Luke Sword was incarnated as a dragon, letting out a roar. Above the spear, it chopped down like an angry Vajra!

Li Keyong was delighted with sarcasm in his heart as he saw Li Ye intend to catch his deadly attack directly. "My spear is a four-class magic treasure and it also contains a formation of Buddhism! You dare catch my attack directly. Should I laugh at your not knowing of death or your arrogance? Li Ye, you're screwed!"

The sword and the spear collided together, Spiritual Qi agitating like tides.

The image of the angry Vajra was destroyed suddenly and the cyan dragon's claw patted on the spear!

The formation pattern dissipated!

Li Keyong felt a tightness in his chest. An irresistible force from his spear made his hand numb and his arm hurt, trembling violently like being hit by a heavy hammer. He was no longer able to hold his spear and it flew out from his hand with the runes having faded.

Li Keyong's guts churned for a while and he vomited a mouthful of blood. He was too astonished to believe that his powerful magic treasure and strike, which had kill enemies' chiefs and mountain bandits, couldn't defeat Li Ye's sword?!

Li Keyong couldn't believe it as if in a dream!

However, the reality was not a dream, because Li Ye had already wielded his sword and it arrived at Li Keyong's face in an instant!

Li Keyong shook and felt an unspeakable fear. He retreated hurriedly as he made an incantation gesture with his hands. "Coloured Glaze Sword!" A small crystal sword flew out from his sleeve and thrust towards Li Ye fiercely.

Li Ye frowned and his Luke Sword changed from thrusting to chop, hitting the small crystal sword. Cyan light flashed and then the small crystal sword flew back to Li Keyong's sleeve with its light fading.

"Li Ye!" Li Keyong gave out a roar that he had never had before. He didn't expect that he would suffer first again in today's fight and that even his spear would be shaken to fly out. He originally thought that he was defeated by Li Ye on that day just because he was unable to show his actual power. However, the reality told him mercilessly that Li Ye's strength was far beyond his estimation!

"You're forcing me!" Li Keyong knelt on the ground with his one foot, his eyes full of hatred. His hands changed rapidly before his chest to make an incantation gesture as the Coloured Glaze Sword flew back to him. In the end, he put his right hand on his knee with his palm facing inward and his fingers touching the ground, while he put his left hand flat in front of his abdomen with his left thumb curling up and his palm facing upward. He shouted, "Magic Seal!"

The Magic Seal was also called the Ground-touching Seal and one of the seven seals of Buddhism. It was a very profound technique of Buddhism and similar to the nine seals in the Nine-word Method of Taoism, very powerful!

Li Ye frowned. "You have learned the seven seals of Buddhism?"

It was stipulated by the court that generals in Tang Empire could only cultivate the techniques from the Central Plains, while the foreign techniques such as the techniques of Buddhism were banned—this was the reason why Buddhism and Witchcraft couldn't become popular in the Central Plains. Although the imperial court lifted the ban at some time, the law was strictly enforced most of the time.

Unexpectedly, as a son of Li Guochang, the Zhenwu Commissioner, Li Keyong had cultivated the techniques of Buddhism. In other words, perhaps this was Li Keyong's secret means.

"Li Ye, you're ruthless! You force me to use the seven seals of Buddhism, so you must die today!" Li Keyong gave out a low roar as he launched the Magic Seal. He didn't wipe the blood on his mouth, so when he spoke, his mouth was full of blood, which looked extremely horrible.

Boom, boom, boom. Clouds of dust exploded on the ground like the explosives being detonated underground. The entire courtyard was trembling violently. Most of the yamen runners of the Chang'an Office, who were unable to move because of Huiming's "Huge Buddha", fell to the ground.

Around Li Ye, the explosion arrived at Li Ye's side in an instant from the outside to the inside. At the feet of Li Ye, there was a circular formation of a diameter of three meters. The formation was outlined with golden lines, presenting a pattern of a monk subduing demons.

When Li Ye discovered the formation, his feet were unable to move, as if there were invisible hands from the ground gripping his feet so tightly that he couldn't move, which made him frown.

"Li Ye, although you have some abilities, the overall situation is settled. You'll die and I'll win! The fight is over!" Li Keyong's gaze was calm. He jumped up from the ground, and then he rushed towards Li Ye like a fierce tiger. He punched at Li Ye's cheek violently with his right fist full of Spiritual Qi.

"Really?" Li Ye sneered and retrieved his Luke Sword. Li Ye crossed his ten fingers in front of his chest and made a Mudra Lion. At this moment, he looked peaceful with his long hair fluttering automatically, like a superior Taoist. He said a word clearly and smoothly, "Recovery!"

The "Recovery" word could be used to dominate the user's own body freely and control the other's body!

The pattern of Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams appeared before the Mudra Lion and was pushed forward suddenly. It turned into a huge inked "Recovery" word and hit Li Keyong who had already rushed to the front!

Li Keyong's punch with Spiritual Qi had already reached Li Ye's side, less than three decimeters from Li Ye's cheek! But at that moment, it couldn't move any further, moreover, his body was also bound!

Li Keyong abruptly opened his eyes wide, full of surprises, shocks, and confusion.

Li Ye couldn't move his feet a moment before, but now he stepped his right foot forward and punched at Li Keyong's jaw. "Bang." Li Keyong's jaw was broken with a clicking sound.

Li Keyong almost fainted. He flew backward from the ground!

Li Ye rushed forward immediately.

As soon as he left the formation under his feet, there was an unprecedented explosion sounding in the pattern of a monk subduing demons. The dust, rising up to more than ten meters, hit the beam and the roof, causing noise everywhere.

It could be imagined that if he had been unable to move and hit by the huge Spiritual Qi and Li Keyong's fist, he would have been either dead or disabled!

Li Keyong hit the wall of the courtyard, causing the wall collapsing directly. He stood up from the dust and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of bloody teeth.

Li Keyong's face was full of unwillingness and anger as he saw Li Ye rushing over. "How could it be possible for you to break my Magic Seal?! No one is able to break the Magic Seal of Buddhism!"

Li Ye punched towards Li Keyong in the dust. "Nothing is impossible."

He used the "Recovery" word to break the Magic Seal, which didn't mean that the Nine-word Method of Taoism was more powerful than the seven seals of Buddhism, but it was because his depth and understanding of cultivation of the Nine-word Method were better than that of Li Keyong's cultivation of the seven seals of Buddhism.

Li Keyong was less than thirty years old, so it wouldn't be a long time for him to cultivate the seven seals of Buddhism, while Li Ye knew the Nine-word Method inside and out and had used it many times before his transmigration.

"Bastard! I will fight you!" Li Keyong had never been defeated in this way and humiliation made him angry to the extreme. The indomitable spirit cultivated on the battlefield made him never give up easily. At this moment, he began to have close combat with Li Ye with his fist directly.

"Vajra Punch!" Li Keyong had no reservation and showed all his skills. Apart from the cultivation methods in the army, he cultivated the techniques of Buddhism most of the time. He now used all of them without any hesitation and reservation.

"Cloud-gathering Punch!" Li Ye waved his fist against him.

"Demon-subduing Palm!"

"Phaseless Palm!"

Li Keyong hit the wall again and vomited a mouthful of blood. He stared at Li Ye incredibly and shouted in a grievance, "How many more cultivation methods do you know?!"

Li Ye snorted and fought again. "Many."

"Bastard! You have no cultivation for twenty years and you have reached the Qi-refining Stage for a short time. How could it be possible for you to know so many cultivation methods? I have been cultivating hard for more than twenty years and taught by various masters. What's more, I also have the Buddhism spare no effort to help me..."

"You're so proud of having so many masters? I'm the heir of Celestial Master Yuan!"

"What else do you want to say?"

"You bastard, don't be so arrogant... I'm the son of the commissioner and I have many magic treasures to protect me, so you have no possibility to win me!"

"Oh, I am the son of the Grand Prince and I have the Luke Sword which can break all techniques."

"... Ah! Piss me off!"

The two of them fought endlessly. They fought on the roof as the walls of the courtyard collapsed; they fought inside the house as they destroyed the eaves; they fought in the courtyard again as they knocked down the house. Li Ye had active attacks constantly while Li Keyong stepped backward step by step.

Li Ye always looked as normal while Li Keyong vomited more and more blood and moved slower and slower. Moreover, his footsteps were weaker and weaker.

Pains made Li Keyong suffer, but he felt more painful for the helplessness and powerlessness in his heart.

That was the grievance that Li Keyong had never experienced before.

At the gate of the courtyard, Liu Dazheng and Master Mo were still fighting fiercely.

Just now, they received a heavy blow from each other. If they hadn't had outstanding cultivation and reduced the injuries by avoiding the key parts in the last minute, they would have been beaten up and wouldn't have got up by their fierce attack with no reservation.

The gate had collapsed, and both of them were injured badly. They began close combat because they wouldn't stop fighting until one of them died.

"Peng. Peng." Liu Dazheng punched at Master Mo, but he was also hit by Master Mo. The two sides retreated two steps respectively.

"Damn it! How could I be so embarrassed that you have room for bravado if I weren't hit by your hand at first?!" Master Mo, who couldn't move his stiff neck, shouted in indignant, because he couldn't catch Liu Dazheng and they fought like Kilkenny cats.

Liu Dazheng twisted his neck, indicating that his neck was fine. He said in sarcasm, "Don't say it as if I weren't slapped by you."

The two people rushed towards each other again.

On the roof, Huiming opened his eyes and saw the fighting scene in the courtyard. His deep and wise eyes were full of worry.

His Huge Buddha had been fighting with Song Jiao's Coldness of Yi River for a long time and had no advantage. He knew clearly that he wouldn't win even if they kept fighting.

Liu Dazheng was no better off than Master Mo.

But Li Keyong... Because Li Keyong was the first to rush forward, Huiming thought that he would kill Li Ye and seal the victory. It was so-called that captured the chief first to beat his force. In that case, even if he couldn't defeat Song Jiao, their goal would be achieved... However, Huiming didn't expect that Li Keyong, who used to kill enemies' chiefs on the chaotic battlefield, would fail this time.

Not only did he fail, but he was also beaten by Li Ye so that he kept vomiting blood. He was about to lose.

Huiming felt powerless.

He realized that they were defeated in the fight that they originally had been sure to win.

Li Ye's power was unexpected, and his helpers' power was also beyond his expectation.

Huiming's gaze suddenly became firm.

He gave up the Huge Buddha and jumped off the roof.
