Chapter 421 - At a Disadvantage (1/2)

Chapter 421 At a Disadvantage

The Step-by-step Lotus was a sword method for a group attack. Even when Li Ye faced the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm, it played its due power with the help of the Dragon Qi that had integrated with the power of the Great Tao.

However, because they were in the Sky Immortal Realm, they could respond accordingly at the critical moment. Therefore, two of the seven people were dead and five were injured. The gap between the two realms was big.

At this point, the cultivators of the demon clan led by Li Ye were fighting the cultivators of the religion of God.

The cultivators of both sides were fighting and flying in the air, and all kinds of techniques were shining brightly. The night sky was full of beautiful scenery, like in heaven. Especially, Red Boy’s True-fire of Samadhi was also a technique for range attack. If the cultivators of the religion of God were burned by it, it would be difficult to deal with, so it caused a lot of trouble and damage to them.

Yelv Abaoji was also fighting the cultivators of the demon clan. Compared with Li Ye, his movement technique was not very flexible, and he needed to spend a long time to launch the techniques, but he was powerful.

Two cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm and four cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm were surrounding Yelv Abaoji. While fighting the cultivators of the demon clan, they were protecting him so that he could launch unbridled and powerful attacks.

The highest cultivation of the cultivators of the demon clan was in the Sky Immortal Realm. Li Ye’s fighting ability was already one of the best among them. Yelv Abaoji showed the same fighting ability as him and caused a lot of trouble for the cultivators of the demon clan.

When the cultivators of the demon clan attacked him in knots, they were soon defeated by him and fell from the sky one after another.

Yelv Abaoji always used the same technique, the inferno technique which was the most familiar to the cultivators in the Central Plains. However, half of the fireball he condensed was red, and the other half was black. It had a diameter of 100 feet, and it was as powerful as a full blow of a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm.

If the cultivators of the demon clan, who were in the Ground Immortal Realm, were hit by a fireball, they would fall to the ground with serious injuries. The cultivators in Sky Immortal Realm had to try their best to resist it, and sometimes, they had to work together to eliminate the lethality brought by the inferno technique. Fortunately, Yelv Abaoji needed to spend a long time to launch the inferno technique so that the cultivators of the demon clan would not be defeated quickly.

“Li Ye, neither of us can leave until we have a winner today. Let’s have a good fight. Haha!” Yelv Abaoji looked very excited. He was in a state of hyperactivity. While fighting, he still had the energy to laugh and challenge Li Ye.

Li Ye killed a cultivator of the religion of God, who was in the Ground Immortal Realm. Hearing this, he sneered. “Shut up!” Then, he attacked the next cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm.

The total number of the cultivators of the demon clan was about the same as that of the cultivators of the religion of God, but they only had half as many cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm as the religion of God. Relying on Li Ye and Red Boy’s True-fire of Samadhi, they barely stabilized the situation.

Moreover, after Li Ye launched the cultivation methods from Purple Clouds from the East in succession and caused a lot of damage to the cultivators of the religion of God, he consumed a lot of Spiritual Qi. As a Yang Spiritual Master, although Li Ye relied on various methods and had the fighting ability of the Sky Immortal Realm, the Spiritual Qi in his Ocean of Qi was still in the realm of the Yang Spiritual Master. In terms of persistence, he couldn’t compare with the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm or in the Ground Immortal Realm.

in addition, although his sword method was powerful, it actually had very few variations. As the battle went on, the cultivators of the religion of God would be on the alert for that.

They dispatched several cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm to besiege Li Ye with a group of cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm. They only defended but not to attack. They wanted to trap Li Ye until he died. Therefore, Li Ye couldn’t expand the result of the battle quickly, and he had to fight hard.

The deficiency of the realm was Li Ye’s fatal weakness. He could give his opponent a surprise blow in a one-on-one battle or in a quick fight, but once he was stuck into the seesaw battle in the group battle, he would have little advantage.

So the situation of Li Ye and the cultivators of the demon clan was not so good. And this was also the reason why Yelv Abaoji dared to challenge them arrogantly.

Li Ye frowned slightly.

Li Ye once fought Yelv Abaoji when he chased Li Keyong in Hedong, but in fact, he knew little about the cultivators of the religion of God. He didn’t know what their background was and how many cultivators in the Immortal Realm of them were in the human world.

Li Ye knew that Yelv Abaoji was the hope for the future of the entire Qidan. After all, Yelv Abaoji would establish the Qidan Empire in the future, and he was the founder of the Liao Dynasty.

In other words, Yelv Abaoji came, well prepared, and it was very likely that he had brought the cultivators of the religion of God as many as possible.

Although Li Ye didn’t fight much against Yelv Abaoji, he had some understanding of his temperament. This guy seemed active, but he was very meticulous and pragmatic. It could be seen from his decisive abandonment of Li Keyong and his escape on that day.

At present, Li Ye almost unified the north of the Tang Empire. Yelv Abaoji appeared at the border and wanted to ally with Liu Shouguang at this time, so he would definitely bring all cultivators without reservation. The cultivators of the religion of God in front of Li Ye were likely to be the main force of the religion of God and the force that could be mobilized flexibly at this time.

Li Ye thought, “If I can kill all the cultivators of the religion of God in front of me, then Qidan and the cultivators of the religion of God can’t invade the south in a short time. As long as this is settled, I can focus on dealing with Zhu Wen and all the feudal princes inside the territory. After I sweep Jiuzhou, the divine land and become powerful enough, it will be easier to deal with Qidan and the religion of God. At least, I don’t need to fight these two sides at the same time.”

As a visitor to the earth, Li Ye knew how harmful Qidan was.

During the Five Dynasties, taking the opportunity to help Shi Jingtang, Qidan sent troops to plunder the Central Plains, leaving the Central Plains desolate. Countless people were killed or injured, and Qidan also occupied 16 prefectures of Youyun.

Moreover, after the Northern Song Dynasty united the Central Plains, Emperor Taizong of Song attacked the north with all the power of the country several times but failed every time. Not only did he fail to recapture 16 prefectures of Youyun, but he also lost the elites of the country. As a result, the Northern Song Dynasty could only be suppressed by Qidan.

In this world, heaven and earth were one, and the immortal and the mortal were connected. The failure of the battle in the human world also meant the failure of the battle in the immortal territory. In other words, the power of the religion of God had been suppressing the Immortal Court in the end!

If Li Ye inflicted heavy losses on Qidan before Qidan unified the Mobei grassland and the religion of God developed to its peak, then he would delay the development of the religion of God and create particularly favorable conditions for the army of the Tang Empire to attack the north in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Ye looked serious.
