The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 132 The Turf of the Li Family

Chapter 132 The Turf of the Li Family

The white horse flew up as Li Ye waved his hand. He said with no emotion in his eyes, “You were so arrogant as you hit someone. Do you really think money makes you justified? Do you like to kick others’ sacks? I’ll let you try what it feels like to be under a heavy object!”

Li Ye stepped backward and pressed down his hand so that the white horse fell immediately on the man in splendid clothes, causing dust everywhere. The man in splendid clothes jerked his legs, and then he didn’t move without any screams.

The young coolie looked at this scene in surprise. Perhaps because he was squatting on the ground, the figure of the young man in a white robe was very big in his eyes. Clasping his hands which were trembling with excitement, he stood up and cupped his hands. “Thank you for your help!”

Li Ye looked back at him and motioned to the dock. “See those ships with a lot of people tied up?”

The young coolie looked back. “Yes!”

“Go to that ship.”

Perhaps he was helped by Li Ye or he saw the strength that Li Ye had shown, so the young coolie didn’t hesitate at all. “Thank you!”

Li Ye turned around, but before he could step forward, a large group of strong men in grey clothes rushed out from the building. When they saw the middle-aged man in splendid clothes was under the white horse, they became furious. Their head pointed at Li Ye and shouted abuse, “You dared beat the man of the Wu family. Are you fucking tired of life? Go!”

Li Ye snorted and stepped out. A wave of Spiritual Qi suddenly spread out from his feet so that those men in cyan, who had been affected, flew backward one after another. Some of them broke doors, some crashed eaves, and some smashed into walls, vomiting blood and howling with no more movement.

“How dare you! You dare act wildly in the turf of the Wu family. How many heads do you have to be cut off by the Wu family?!” A few practitioners of Qi techniques rushed out from the building and showed their magic treasures to attack Li Ye. In the hall, an old black-robed man with a majestic look shouted at Li Ye.

Li Ye’s gaze was cold. “Have you got your coffins ready for your misdeeds in the turf of my Li family?”

He punched slightly, the huge shadow of his palm crashing into the attic so that the door frame was broken into powder in front of the shadow. For those practitioners of Qi techniques who hadn’t rushed out, their clothes were broken and their whole bodies were sunken like mud being flattened by a sledgehammer. They all vomited blood and flew backward.

Only the old man in a black robe took out a small cyan shield to save his life narrowly, but he also vomited blood and knelt on the ground. When he looked at Li Ye again, his eyes were full of horror.

Li Ye came to the old man in one step, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.

“If you dare to kill the man of the Wu family, the Wu family... won’t let go of you, so you can’t run away!” The old man in black struggled to make a threat.

Li Ye’s voice was calm but fierce, “From the moment when you bullied the men of my Li family, you should die.”

“You are...”

Li Ye put strength in his hand, wrung the black-robed man’s neck, and threw him on the ground conveniently. The other side was dead.

Outside the door, the men of the Wu family, who arrived from nearby, originally wanted to come in to attack, but when they saw Li Ye kill the old man in black in an instant, they were so frightened that no one dared move.

“I heard that the Wu family was going to retaliate?” Li Ye glanced back at them calmly. Suddenly, he launched a palm upward to shatter several floors, and a huge hole appeared on the roof. He flew up, out of the building, and stood on the roof with his hands clasped behind his back. “I’m waiting for you.”

The tall building could overlook the entire dock. Li Ye stood on the roof with a wide view so that he could have a panoramic view of the entire dock. Around the building, countless people stopped and looked this way, especially on the street of the front door.

Many people saw that Li Ye knocked down the cultivators of the Wu family ruthlessly in the twinkling of an eye, so more and more people gathered. They looked up at Li Ye, their faces full of awe.

A person, who dared to find trouble with the Wu family and had the ability to do so, was whom countless people, who suffered from the oppression of the Wu family, looked forward to day and night. Now this person had appeared, so everyone was delighted. They looked at Li Ye with their eyes burning with passion and hoped eagerly that Li Ye would teach the Wu family a lesson.

Now, Li Ye had become a hero in the eyes of all people except the Wu family.

On the dock, the merchant ships of the Changhe Gang were docked. More than twenty cultivators of the Black Office, who served as guards for the merchant ships, flew from the ships onto the dock and rushed towards Li Ye.

Li Ye faced the direction of the capital of Qizhou, his gaze calm, but he had emotional turbulence in his heart.

He didn’t see many bullies in Chang’an. Although Wei Baoheng, Lu Yan and the others took corruption and bribery and violated the law, those things were in the underground, so there were no obvious victims openly.

But now in Qizhou, Mount Tai was far away from the emperor. The behavior of the Wu family, the local despot of Qizhou, was shocking by the sight. It was no exaggeration to say that the people here lived in dire straits.

Chaotic times came, and the apocalyptic scene on the place was so naked to challenge the nerve of Li Ye.

Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao and the other were responded by many people even when their rebels suffered many setbacks. They could also develop rapidly, not because those ordinary people in the oppression had an urgent need for resistance?

Today, Li Ye was here. If Huang Chao had come here, could the Wu family defend Qizhou?

Li Ye looked down. In his sight, a great number of cultivators had already gone out of the city and came this way at a gallop.

He knew very well that they were the elite power of the Wu family.

...

From the long distance, Wu Jianghuai could see Li Ye standing on the roof of the tall building. Li Ye’s arrogant posture made him feel angry and gnash his teeth in hatred.

In advance, he only knew that the Xiaohe Gang had entered the border regardless and caught Wu Zhenjiang and the youths of the Wu family. Many forces that depended on the Wu family attacked them along the way. In order to maintain the authority of the Wu family in Qizhou, he had to come to get rid of the Xiaohe Gang.

But Wu Jianghuai didn’t expect that when the other side arrived outside Qizhou, they would attack the men of the Wu family directly!

At this time, Li Ye stood on the tall building. It could be imagined the situation of the men of the Wu family in the tall building. That was the stronghold where the Wu family controlled the dock. There were cultivators in middle-level of Qi-refining commanding the place, representing the face of the Wu family.

But now, the Wu family was beaten in full view of the public!

“Go together. Don’t ask who he is. Kill him first!” Wu Jianghuai felt extremely angry.

In Qizhou, the Wu family had never been so insulted. Even the commissioner of Pinglu, who wanted to govern the place, had to rely on the local villain. If he offended the major force at the local place, the position of the commissioner would be unstable; if he offended the local villain, he would be expelled!

The rebellion of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao had been going on in the Central Plains for four years with no sign of pacification. The world was going to be completely chaotic. In this circumstance, even when Prince An Li Ye, the new commissioner of Pinglu, arrived at Qizhou, he couldn’t offend the Wu family in this way!

If he really provoked the Wu family, it was very easy for the Wu family uniting with other major forces in Pinglu to make Li Ye lose the position of the commissioner!

...

Li Ye stood up against the wind and looked coldly at the cultivators of the Wu family flying over.

They didn’t even ask his identity and attacked him directly.

This showed that they didn’t care who he was!

Li Ye’s face darkened and he ordered the cultivators of the Black Office who had rushed nearby the tall building, “Kill them all!”

“Yes!” Led by Liu Zhiyan, the cultivators of the Black Office answered loudly.

The cultivators of both sides met on the street soon. They didn’t say a word and launched the technique attacks to each other. Instantly, the flying fireballs, Sword Qi, and all kinds of dazzling techniques were all displayed. The techniques affected the goods in the shops, smashing up a lot of things. All pedestrians on both sides of the street screamed to escape, in chaos.

Wu Jianghuai flew straight to Li Ye from the roof, followed by six sword masters of the Wu family. All seven of them had the cultivation of middle-level Qi-refining. The Skylight Sword Formation formed by the seven people was the sharp weapon of the Wu family’s going through Qizhou and the foundation of the Wu family.

It wasn’t a lie that Wu Huainan said to use the Thunderstorm Attack.

The seven people outflanked Li Ye from different directions. More than 30 meters away opposite Li Ye, Wu Jianghuai sneered. “If Qizhou were the hell, then the Wu family would be the Yama controlling the life and death of all the people in Qizhou. When you get here, you have stepped into the Palace of Hell. If the Wu family wants you to die at midnight, you won’t be able to live to dawn! I don’t care who you are, and I’m not interested in knowing it. All I know is that you’re going to die!”

The seven people burst into 30 meters and took out their spiritual swords together, placing the swords in front of their eyebrows. Their swords were called the Skylight Swords, all dark green. Their fingers wiped the swords, and when the Spiritual Qi lit up the runes, the swords shone with the dark green light. The tips of the swords were shining like a group of green flames, same as the wildfires.

As soon as the wildfires appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot. The seven people bit the tips of their tongues to spurt a mouthful of blood on their swords and pointed their swords towards Li Ye together. At once, several waves of Sword Qi flew out, crossing and passing around Li Ye. At the same time, the seven people changed their positions quickly, pulling out trails of vague shadows in the air. Waves of Sword Qi kept hitting out, however, they flew around Li Ye instead of running towards him.

Soon, Sword Qi outlined a formation around Li Ye. The seven shadowy swordsmen like ghosts kept shifting positions and going around at all directions, unpredictable. When the formation was formed initially, a green whirlpool of Spiritual Qi appeared under Li Ye. There was a great suction coming from the whirlpool as if it would pull Li Ye into the ground.

Wu Jianghuai’s cruel laughter sounded all around. “You bastard. You don’t understand how profound the foundation of the Wu family is, nor do you know how powerful the Skylight Sword Formation is! At the moment when the formation was launched, you would survive if you escaped in time, but now, you can only die! I say so much to tell you that if you will be reborn in the afterlife, remember to kneel down to kowtow when you encounter the people surnamed Wu!”

Li Ye stood still on the roof. He sneered as he heard Wu Jianghuai’s words. “You regard a very common sword formation of the Taoist sect as so advanced. What a limited sight!”
