Chapter 423 Swap
The Purple Qi Sword Tide covered about 30 cultivators of the religion of God. All the cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm had their bodies smashed to pieces, not many of the cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm were dead, and none of the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm died. This sword method for group attack played a more important role in creating chaos and covering up Li Ye’s final hit than killing enemies.
But thanks to the cooperation with Red Boy’s True-fire of Samadhi, the effect was good.
At this moment, some cultivators of the religion of God escaped from the Sword Tides and the fire clouds, and some were not in the attack range of the sword method. When Yelv Abaoji was seriously injured by Li Ye’s sword and couldn’t stand up, they were panicky and frightened, and at the same time, almost half of them quickly gave up fighting the demon clan but rushed toward Li Ye from all directions.
When they moved out, they yelled, shouted, or abused to attract Li Ye’s attention.
But Li Ye didn’t pay attention to them at all. Before the cultivators of the religion of God arrived, he rushed into the deep pit, grabbed Yelv Abaoji’s hair, and lifted his head. At the same time, he placed his Luke Sword in front of Yelv Abaoji’s throat.
Yelv Abaoji was depressed and bleeding on his face, and he lost consciousness. He was forced to raise his chin in a sorry figure and no longer looked cynical.
Li Ye looked coldly at the cultivators of the religion of God, who were rushing toward him. His voice was cold and emotionless, but firm. “I’m only going to say it once. You’d better listen carefully. Step backward 3,000 feet, or I’ll cut off his head!”
When the rushing cultivators of the religion of God saw Li Ye put his sword against Yelv Abaoji’s throat, some of them froze and hurriedly shouted at Li Ye. When they heard Li Ye’s cold words, their expressions kept changing, and they were wondering if they should do as Li Ye said.
If they stepped backward 3,000 feet, they would have no chance to stop Li Ye.
But if they didn’t, they were afraid that they wouldn’t be faster than Li Ye’s sword.
Seeing their hesitation, Li Ye sneered and stabbed Yelv Abaoji’s neck with his sword, leaving a gaping bloody wound.
When the cultivators of the religion of God saw this, their expressions changed.
When the cultivators of the religion of God came to help, the cultivators of the demon clan also came in succession. Especially, Red Boy was the fastest. He didn’t know that Li Ye intended to kill Yelv Abaoji beforehand, but he suddenly understood when Li Ye used the sword method of the “Purple Qi Sword Tide”.
After Li Ye rushed out and defeated Yelv Abaoji, he followed and flew over. Holding the Long-flames Sharp Spear, he stood side by side with Li Ye. He stared at the cultivators of the religion of God with an alert look, and he was ready to fight to death.
The cultivators of the demon clan arrived in succession. Only a few of them reached beside Li Ye and Red Boy, and most of them were stopped by the cultivators of the religion of God.
The atmosphere was in a stalemate. Yelv Abaoji, who was seriously injured by Li Ye’s sword and lost consciousness, finally regained his consciousness. When he figured out his situation, he immediately shouted at the cultivators of the religion of God, “What are you doing here? Step back! Do you want me to die?”
A cultivator of the religion of God, who was in the Sky Immortal Realm, finally made up his mind and said to the others, “Retreat!”
As the cultivators of the demon clan watched, the cultivators of the religion of God distanced themselves on alert. As they retreated, the cultivators of the demon clan wore triumphant smiles. Without hesitation, they all flew to the pass and surrounded Li Ye and Red Boy.
After stepping backward 3,000 feet, the cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm said in a deep voice, “Prince An, I hope you don’t act on impulse. If the son of God dies here, none of us can leave alive tonight!”
What he meant was that not the cultivators of the demon clan but all the people couldn’t leave alive. Li Ye’s full blow and Red Boy’s True-fire of Samadhi caused a lot of casualties to the cultivators of the religion of God, so the winning situation of the religion of God was gone.
Of course, what he wanted to express the most was that they determined to perish with Li Ye, even if they would all fight to death.
Li Ye sneered and said nothing.
Yelv Abaoji coughed, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood. Although he couldn’t look back at Li Ye, he smiled again.
He seemed to be very happy. “Your Highness, Prince An, my friend, I’m right about you. You are really an extremely difficult opponent! You have noble status, but you are willing to kill the enemy’s commander-in-chief at the risk of being besieged and being killed. I admire your courage! Well, Your Highness, Prince An, they have retreated and I can’t fight back. Since you are not going to kill me, will you take off your sword, and let us talk it over?”
Li Ye retrieved his Luke Sword and let go of Yelv Abaoji. He did want to talk to him. Moreover, now that all the cultivators of the demon clan were around him, he no longer needed to put his sword against Yelv Abaoji’s neck.
At this point, Li Ye won the battle against the main force of the religion of God with half of the cultivators of the demon clan. Moreover, his cultivators didn’t have many casualties. It could be said that he won a great victory.
However, at the same time, his Spiritual Qi was exhausted, and he couldn’t fight anymore. If he continued to fight and killed Yelv Abaoji, it was possible that he would die in the chaotic battle.
In this case, Li Ye would naturally make the most favorable choice that would expand the result of the battle.
Li Ye didn’t give Yelv Abaoji much time to think. He said calmly, “I can let you go, but you have to make a swap. I can let the cultivators of the religion of God, who are in the Sky Immortal Realm, go, but the rest have to stay.”
What he meant was obvious.
Yelv Abaoji was stunned. He opened his mouth wide and said, “Your Highness, Prince An, is that too much?”
Li Ye said, “Oh, don’t tell me that your life is not worth a few cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm and the Spiritual Master Realm.”
Yelv Abaoji cried out, “There are dozens of them! Your Highness, Prince An, be heart to heart. I really can’t accept your request. If I do this, I am afraid that even if I go back alive, I will be beaten to death!”
Li Ye said, “In your opinion, what should I do?”
Yelv Abaoji stretched out a hand and opened five fingers. When he saw Li Ye’s dark face, he gritted his teeth and stretched out another hand. He said with sorry, “Your Highness, Prince An, ten cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm. That’s the most!”
Li Ye said, “Hehe.”
Yelv Abaoji said, “...”
Li Ye’s intention was clear. Qidan would become serious trouble for the Central Plains in the future, so he had to seize the opportunity to weaken the opponent’s strength. Leaving a group of masters in the Ground Immortal Realm could at least guarantee that when Li Ye swept the Central Plains, Qidan would have no strength to play a dirty trick, invade the border, and make trouble for him.
He didn’t leave the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm because he couldn’t keep them.
In this battle, the religion of God had almost as many cultivators as the demon clan, but their cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm and the Ground Immortal Realm were twice as many as that of the demon clan. Now that many of their cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm died, they were now almost as many as that of the demon clan. But they still had many cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm.
The religion of God originally had 40 cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm, and now they still had about 20.
Yelv Abaoji saw Li Ye disagree with him, so he said painfully, “Your Highness, Prince An, I really can’t give you more. Why not take me with you?”
Li Ye said, “I can help you if you want to die.”
While saying this, he took out his Luke Sword again and walked toward Yelv Abaoji.
Although he only had a little Spiritual Qi, Yelv Abaoji was weaker and he could barely stand. He didn’t need the Spiritual Qi to kill Yelv Abaoji, and Luke Sword was enough powerful.
Seeing Li Ye lift the Luke Sword and his eyes full of murderous intents, Yelv Abaoji finally gave up bargaining. He shouted before the sword fell, “Leave 20 cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm, but I need to take away the cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm!”
Li Ye retrieved his Luke Sword. “Deal.”
Yelv Abaoji said, “...”
Li Ye answered so decisively, which showed that the result was above his predetermined bottom line.
Leaving 20 cultivators of the religion of God, who were in the Ground Immortal Realm, and plus the previous casualties, the other side’s backbone didn’t exist anymore so that they couldn’t invade the border in a short time.
What was more, Yelv Abaoji couldn’t take away Liu Shouguang and Huang Xingqin.
Li Ye’s trip to the north this time was to suppress Youzhou. Now that Liu Shouguang and Huang Xingqin were captured, he achieved his goal. Furthermore, he also solved the threat of the religion of God to the border, which was an unexpected gain.
Li Ye was quite satisfied.
