Chapter 456 You Are Courting Death

Chapter 456 You Are Courting Death

After Li Ye’s words, the demons were speechless and the crowd fell into silence.

Li Ye was right. When Childe Python and Wu Liuqi came on the stage, they confirmed that they would win. Especially when Wu Liuqi who was in the Sky Immortal Realm fought against Li Ye who was in the Ground Immortal Realm, they felt that Li Ye would surely lose.

They thought that Li Ye couldn’t do it and that Li Ye would lose, but from the beginning to the end, Li Ye didn’t show the intention of giving up. He had been fighting and saying that he would fight to the end. He also arrogantly said that who else dared to fight with him.

Then he really defeated one strong enemy after another and became the last one to laugh, at least until now.

At this time, by rights, all the demons should admire Li Ye, because his words were really infectious. It was a whoop of a struggling man. It was his unyielding declaration after he defeated the enemies in the face of more than 100 demons alone.

But the demons looked at each other. At the moment, they were in all sorts of moods, but none of them admired Li Ye. Their eyes were strange.

They shouldn’t be to blame for their narrow-mindedness. After all, Li Ye was too arrogant and everyone’s magic treasures... had been won.

If the demons had to say something at the moment, they could only sneer. If they had to make some response at the moment, they would choose to look up at the sky and ask the God in their minds, “How come you didn’t kill this shameless guy with a flash of lightning?”

Only those female demons were still shouting that Prince An was handsome at the moment. They put their hands before their chests and murmured that they were moved, eyes full of tears.

Among the demons, the demon python was the most uncomfortable one.

He had been disliking Li Ye and finding fault with him. He had set traps for Li Ye in his speech and behavior, hoping that the other side would fall into a trap. But in the end, he was helpless to find that it was his own people that were harmed by his provocations and traps.

This not only damaged his prestige, but also deeply hurt his self-esteem and self-confidence.

So he didn’t plan to give up.

The demon python stared at Li Ye and said, “Good! Good point, Prince An! You are so powerful and ambitious. I really admire you! Just now, you said that you would fight to the end. I wonder if you could fight again.”

Hearing that, Li Ye sneered.

You Daxiao unpleasantly said, “Prince An fought three times in a row, which cost him a lot of energy. How could he fight again? Don’t you think it’s too aggressive that you talked like that? There are hundreds of cultivators here, including dozens of cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm and several cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm. Do you want all of them to fight with Prince An who is only in the Ground Immortal Realm one by one?”

You Daxiao said seriously and angrily, which showed that those words were from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, You Daxiao was really angry. The demon python had been stirring up trouble, which really made him angry. Furthermore, what You Daxiao said was also true. No matter how fierce Li Ye was, he was alone. The other side had challenged him three times without stopping. Now the demon python actually pressed on at every stage. He went too far.

Li Ye took a look at You Daxiao who was very angry and defending him against an injustice. Li Ye thought it was funny and said in his mind, “Brother, why did you get involved in acting? It seems that you are deeply involved in acting! If I don’t know the fact, I will be persuaded by you!”

In fact, the demons felt a little ashamed in the face of the interrogation of You Daxiao.

In any case, Li Ye’s victory over them was open and aboveboard. It relied on his power. No one could say that he was wrong. The demon python said that Li Ye had used some special ignoble means, which was a shameless behavior. Now after being contradicted by You Daxiao, some demons couldn’t hold their heads up.

The cultivators of demon clan might kill others without mercy, but in terms of nature, there were very few traitors or evil people.

The demons were a little ashamed, but the demon python didn’t think so. He sneered and said, “Didn’t Prince An say that he is a rare genius and hero? Obviously, he has the strength to defeat the cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm, but pretended he didn’t have in advance. In the competition with the cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm, he showed it was tough and painful. Didn’t he deliberately show weakness to cheat us into taking out our magic treasures? It’s said that the kings and princes of the mortal world must be of good character. Is Prince An’s behavior the villains’? Does Prince An deserve to be a prince?”

Seeing that the other side turned the facts upside down and brought shame on Li Ye, You Daxiao was furious. He said, “Did Prince An force you to fight against him? It’s obvious that you are no match for him, but you not only don’t want to admit failure but also said those shameless words righteously. When you asked your son and henchman to fight against Prince An, weren’t you full of confidence and didn’t you think that you would defeat Prince An? When you lost, you started criticizing Prince An’s character. Is your own character good?”

Being criticized like that, the demon python was also furious.

He stared at You Daxiao, and his strength of the Real Immortal Realm suddenly broke out and the mountain-like pressure directly rushed to You Daxiao. His scarlet eyes began to twinkle with dangerous light.

He said with a fierce expression, “You are just in the Spiritual Master Realm. How dare you shout at me? As the son of Roc Demon King, do you really think you can do whatever you want and I dare not teach you a lesson?”

You Daxiao’s face turned pale instantly.

He could not resist the pressure of the Real Immortal Realm at all. At this moment, the bones of his whole body seemed to be falling apart and his legs were shaking. It seemed that he would kneel under compulsion at once. But he still persisted. Even if he couldn’t speak, he still faced the demon python’s eyes, unwilling to give in.

Seeing that, all the demons changed their expressions, and some demons were going to persuade the demon python.

But before they could act, Li Ye directly stood in front of You Daxiao and resisted the pressure of the demon python. Then he, looking at the demon python indifferently with a darkened face, sneered and said, “You are not convinced?”

Seeing that Li Ye was able to resist his majesty, the demon python was a little shocked. However, he had confirmed that Li Ye’s real strength was comparable to that in the Sky Immortal Realm, so he was not too much shocked. He answered with fierce eyes, “What if I am not convinced?”

Li Ye glanced at the demon python and said with a commanding momentum, “If you are not convinced, you could fight by yourself. Do you dare?”

The demon python blushed with embarrass in an instant!

As soon as Li Ye finished that, the crowd was shocked and fell into an uproar.

The demons looked at Li Ye in disbelief. They all thought Li Ye was crazy.

The demon python was at the peak of the Real Immortal Realm, and only one step away from the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. In the whole Panfeng City, only the demon bear and the demon leopard could defeat him!

Li Ye who was in the Ground Immortal Realm was two realms below the demon python, including a big gap between the Sky Immortal Realm and the Real Immortal Realm. How dare Li Ye talk like that?

Some female demons were already shocked!

The demon python showed his ferocious fangs and said, “A word spoken is past recalling. Prince An, you can’t go back on your word. Don’t regret it later!”

When they heard that, some cultivators of demon clan darkened their faces and let the demon not go too far. This already brought shame on the cultivators of demon clan!

But only a few persuaded the demon python. After all, most of the cultivators had lost their magic treasures. They didn’t stop all this because they wanted to get back their own wealth.

Moreover, Li Ye’s performance was really too arrogant. He, a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm, challenged the cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm, which made them felt that Li Ye did not pay attention to the cultivators of demon clan at all!

“Prince An, you needn’t fight with such a contemptible scoundrel. I’ll take your place!” The demon leopard couldn’t stand it anymore. He went straight to Li Ye and asked for an agreement.

As soon as the demon leopard appeared, the expressions of all the demons changed.

The demon leopard was a Great Cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm whom the demon bear couldn’t defeat!

If demon leopard took part in the fighting, the demon python would basically have no chance to win!

The demon python knew this, so he couldn’t let it happen. He looked down at Li Ye and said with a smile, “Prince An, are you already regretful so that you want your bodyguard to fight? Aren’t you arrogant anymore?”

Li Ye stretched out his hand and pushed aside the demon leopard. His eyes were cold, as cold as the everlasting ice and snow. He said to the demon python, “I still mean that. I am not aiming at anyone. No matter who wants to fight with me, I will fight to the end! Do I regret it? That’s what I want to ask you. If you couldn’t get up later, don’t cry like a child!”

After that, Li Ye turned around and came to the open space regardless of the murderous eyes of the demon python.

Li Ye swung his sleeves, which lifted the table. He turned to the demon python and said, “Since you want to fight with me, I’ll give you a chance and let you be sincerely convinced. Let’s not wrestle with each other. How about fighting directly?”

“How arrogant you are!” The demon python was furious. He suddenly shouted in a low voice, and his power of cultivation rippled like water, which forced the cultivators behind him to retreat.

Then he took out a fighting axe and a trident, both of which were magic treasures of middle class-ranking. He stared at Li Ye and said, “I would let you know what would happen to those who despise the strong!”

Li Ye’s mind settled as still water, and there was no temperature in his eyes towards the demon python.

His method to get the magic treasures of the demons was indeed disgraceful. But as You Daxiao said, if the demons didn’t think they would win over Li Ye and it was profitable, how could they bet? If Li Ye lost, would they be soft-hearted and not take away Li Ye’s magic treasures?

In this gamble, there was nothing right or wrong and no one was nobler. Li Ye didn’t care about these.

He entered the territory of demon clan with the strength of the Ground Immortal Realm, and was assassinated by the Macaque King as soon as he arrived at Panfeng City. After he went out, he had to fight against the immortal court by himself. At this time, how could he have so much time to talk about benevolence and justice with others?

One had to admit his failure or win as long as he participated in the gambling. One had to accept his fate to be the winner or the loser as long as he fought for the world. That was all.

When the demon python was ready to start, Li Ye suddenly raised his hand and said, “Wait a minute!”

The demon python sneered and said, “What happened? Are you afraid? Do you want to give up?”

Li Ye glanced at the demon python with a look of disdain. Then he waved his hand, and the storage bag in You Daxiao’s hand came to his hand. “I have more than 200 magic treasures here. What do you have to be the bet?”

All the demons who had retreated to the back of the courtyard wall were already standing in the air. When they heard Li Ye’s words, they looked at each other and all felt surprised.

How dare he think about the bet in the face of the demon python? Did he really think he could win? If he was not absolutely sure, how could he take the initiative to mention the bet?

If so, Li Ye really didn’t pay attention to them and thought that there were no cultivators in the demon clan!

Most of the demons were angry.

The demon python’s face stiffened. Li Ye had more than 200 magic treasures in his hand, but he didn’t have any. As the deputy commander of the City-protecting Army, he was not from a poor family. But he had only about twenty magic treasures, which was far less than Li Ye’s.

Li Ye sneered and said, “Without a bet, what do we compete for?”

The demon python knew he was in the wrong, but he would not admit it. His eyes twinkled, and he sneered and said, “Prince An, are you trying to stop me from fighting with you in another way? In the final analysis, you are still afraid of me, aren’t you?”

Li Ye held out a finger and shook it, saying, “Without a bet, you are not qualified to fight with me. But I have an idea. You could borrow some from other cultivators.”

The demon python was eager to fight and immediately looked back at the cultivators behind him.

All the demons stepped back together.

It was not because they didn’t want to lend, but because only a few of them had magic treasures now.

The demon python was very angry and embarrassed, neck turning red.

Seeing that, Li Ye said with a smile, “As the deputy commander of the City-protecting Army, you must be prestigious. Since you have no magic treasures, how about letting the cultivators who support you take themselves as the bet? A cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm is the equal of one magic treasure with low class-ranking and a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm is the equal of two magic treasures with low class-ranking. If there are any cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm would like to, each of them is the equal of two magic treasures with middle class-ranking. How about that? I’m very fair.”

This time, not only the demon python, but also all the demons were furious.

It was so hateful to take the cultivators as the bet.

Li Ye did not want to discuss about it at all, and he turned a blind eye to the anger of these cultivators.

Was it enough to win some magic treasures if he wanted to upturn the City Lord’s Mansion and build his prestige in the territory of demon clan? Definitely it was not enough.

Li Ye wanted people, too! No, he wanted demons!

Even if he could only win a few cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm, it would also be very helpful to him.

Because he was not sure whether the seal of demon clan could be removed. Therefore, on the way, he should try to gather some cultivators of demon clan as many as possible and let them follow him back to Pinglu, which was the necessary strategy for him to improve the combat power of Pinglu Army and even to form an army of cultivators!

If he could take away dozens of cultivators, it would be enough to change the City Lord’s Mansion dramatically, to set off a storm in the demon clan and at least in the territory of the Macaque King, and to let his reputation spread everywhere!

The demon python was surprised and uncertain, and all demons were swearing.

Li Ye looked around at the demons, eyes full of contempt. At last, he looked at the demon python and said, “What’s wrong? Do you, a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm, dare not fight against me, a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm? Are you not sure of winning? If so, why do you still have the confidence to stand in front of me? Get away!”

The demon python was furious. He shouted, “Come out, all the cultivators of City-protecting Army!”

He knew that Li Ye was provoking him, but he could not flinch because he had no room to flinch.

Besides, he didn’t think Li Ye would win. In his opinion, the reason why Li Ye took the demons as the bet was that Li Ye knew that himself couldn’t defeat him, but didn’t want to lose face, so Li Ye used this disgusting means to make him shrink back from difficulties. How could he let Li Ye succeed?

Half of the cultivators moved forward a few steps. Among them, there were cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm and the Sky Immortal Realm, and even a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm. Together, there were about fifty cultivators!

Their expressions were different, but all were not good-looking. Obviously, no one wanted to be regarded as an object.

The demon python, staring at Li Ye, grinned and said, “If you lose, I want not only your magic treasures, but also your sword, the little girl you are going with and the demon fox!”

Li Ye’s wrist suddenly shook, and Luke Sword appeared in his hand. His calm eyes were suddenly filled with fierceness. “You are courting death!”

“You Daxiao, sign contracts with them!” Li Ye said in a deep voice.

As he said, he did a martial-art squat, eyes sharper than a one-meter-long knife, and put his long sword in front of his left chest at the same time. He was like an opened bow and Luke Sword was the arrow, ready to go!

The demon python was full of confidence. But when saw this action, he suddenly felt a chill coming from his feet for no reason.

At this time, while You Daxiao waving his hands, around 70 to 80 streamers came to the cultivators of demon clan respectively and then jade notes showed up in front of them.

Suddenly, Li Ye generated power by his back feet. His power of cultivation burst out like the mountain torrents and his long sword rushed forward. He also rushed forward like an arrow leaving the string bow, as fast as lightning and advancing irresistibly.

The air was torn and made a shrill whimper.
