The Emperor Reigns Them All

The Wei River.

Under the willows on the riverside, Liu Zhiyan leaned against the trunk with her hand over her shoulder and scarlet blood on her mouth. She looked at the waterfalls in the river and the astonishing "Thousands of Arrows Formation". She was too shocked to speak.

Over her head, Ugly Man hung on the branch like a dried fish. He tried several times to move his hands in front of his knees, but he was too weak to get off the branch. When Li Ye threw them over here, he was obviously unluckier than Liu Zhiyan who landed stably.

Under the dazzling white light, Ugly Man turned his head hard and took a glance at the fight on the river. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and said intermittently, "This guy... who the hell is he? He needs to be dealt with such means?"

Because of the injuries, Liu Zhiyan looked painful. She whispered between her teeth. "I'm afraid that the person, who Duke Wei wants us to lure, is not a small potato. Otherwise, his cultivation won't arrive at this point... However, this old man, who followed Duke Wei, is too violent since he used such a powerful formation. He definitely has the cultivation of high-level Qi-refining!"

Ugly Man coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked at Chen Jianghe full of fear. "Should be Level 7 of Qi-refining."

"Level 7 of Qi-refining... There's no master with the cultivation of Level 7 Qi-refining on the Wei River!" Liu Zhiyan sat down against the trunk and wiped away the blood with the back of her hand. She now had a deeper understanding of Wei Jiangnan, so she was sadder. "Duke Wei has such an identity and such masters to help him. In front of them, our Changhe Gang is nothing."

"So what do we do?" Ugly Man hanging on the branch asked with difficulty.

Liu Zhiyan ducked her head silently. This talented woman had been living a carefree life three months ago. Therefore, when she faced the sinister situation in Jianghu, she felt powerless. "What can we do? We have participated in robbing dock warehouse in Huangli County and our petition has been accepted, so it's too late for us to regret."

Ugly Man was silent for a while, and then he looked at the river. "Since the old man, who followed Duke Wei, has the cultivation of Level 7 Qi-refining, the guy, who we lured, will only die... When the matter is done, will Duke Wei keep his promise?"

Liu Zhiyan's gaze was dim and her voice was so low that she herself could barely hear. "Maybe..."

After a while, she looked up and her face was covered with moonlight. "Otherwise? What else can we do?"

For a practitioner in middle-level of Qi-refining, flying over the river wasn't a unique skill and it took a little of Spiritual Qi.

Li Ye ran on the river with his sword. His feet stepped on the water, clattering in short and rapid constantly, like intense music.

At the moment of the launch of Thousands of Arrows Formation, his eyes turned slightly cold and serious.

Li Ye had seen a lot of cultivation methods and fought against many masters, but it made him feel extraordinary and fearful that Chen Jianghe was able to pull up a waterfall directly and launch thousands of water arrows on the river with his hands.

Li Ye didn't stop and he made an incantation gesture with his left hand. A Spiritual Qi Shield rose up quickly in front of him. The thickness of brilliance showed that Li Ye had no reservation. Transparent and twisted water arrows hit the Spiritual Qi Shield one after another as if heavy rain fell on the lake, causing countless ripples.

The water arrows, which hit the shield, were shattered one by one, while the Spiritual Qi Shield of three inches thick peeled away one by one at a rate visible to the naked eye, like the layers of limestone on a cliff. The Spiritual Qi chips dissipated before they could fall in the river.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes. His Spiritual Qi dissipated quickly, which put a lot of pressure on him. Li Ye had a bad feeling when the Spiritual Qi Shield was going to be destroyed and the water arrows shot at him constantly like locusts in an endless stream.

Seeing Li Ye struggling to support, Chen Jianghe shouted with satisfaction, "I have been practicing Thousands of Arrows Formation for about twenty years and already reached a high degree of proficiency. Even if thousands of guards rush over by boats, most of them will die or be injured as long as they were on the river. You only have the cultivation of Level 5 Qi-refining. How can you defend? Wait to be shot as a hedgehog!"

The Spiritual Qi Shield in front of Li Ye was finally unable to withstand the continuous attack of the arrow formation. "Bang." It was broken into pieces suddenly. At that moment, Li Ye stopped running forward. Before the white light dissipated completely, numerous water arrows fell from the sky. Li Ye was going to be shot as a hedgehog just as Chen Jianghe had said.

The Spiritual Qi Shield was smashed abruptly. Li Ye suddenly had chest tightness and he almost vomited blood. He forced down his discomfort and threw up his Luke Sword high. His fingers changed rapidly with his hands crossed. He made a Mudra Acalanatha in front of his chest. At this moment, his mind was clear and his eyes were bright. He was determined and immovable like a mountain. He shouted in a low voice, "Will!"

A sudden hum sounded in the air like the morning bell and the evening drums and all people had heard the sound. At this moment, Shangguan Qingcheng, Wang Li and the others, who were fighting with enemies, were shocked. They couldn't help but be distracted and look at Li Ye.

At the same time as the hum sounded in the air, a pattern of Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams formed suddenly in front of the Mudra Acalanatha that Li Ye had made before his chest. All its lines were golden and seemed unreal. He looked firm and pushed the Mudra Acalanatha forward.

The pattern of Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams instantly turned into a huge "Will" word and rushed to the arrow formation, suddenly expanding to ten meters. When the arrow formation met the golden word, it paused instantly and spread away with the golden word until it vanished behind the waterfalls. All the water arrows affected stopped in the air and couldn't go any further!

The water arrow closest to Li Ye had already arrived at three inches in front of his eyebrows!

People were all frightened as they saw the weird scene of numerous water arrows stopping in the air. Cultivators including Shangguan Qingcheng, Wang Li and attackers, who saw the scene, were all shocked.

"Why did Master Chen's Thousands of Arrows Formation no longer move?!" A cultivator, who had just emerged from the river, looked at this scene incredibly.

"That's a cultivation method that Master Chen won't use easily. Very few people are able to deal with it, even the masters who followed Prime Minister. This guy has caught it?"

"He has broken it instead of catching it!"

"What is the technique that he used? Nine-word Method? That's not a technique, but a magical power!"

Li Ye grabbed the falling Luke Sword and chopped down vertically. The cyan Sword Qi fell sharply and split all the water arrows in front of him, revealing a blank passage. At this time, Li Ye was less than 30 meters away from Chen Jianghe.

Li Ye rushed into the passage and wielded his sword again. The cyan light flew out and hit the waterfalls, causing them collapsing instantly. The falling waterfalls were similar to the collapsing buildings.

"Nine-word Method? Damn it! You have caught my arrow formation?!"

After his surprise, Chen Jianghe felt angry. His face darkened as he recalled his earlier clamor. When he saw Li Ye rush towards him again with no fear, he couldn't help but snort. "You only broke a technique of group attack. Do you really think that you can approach me? The young person is arrogant, so let me show you how powerful I am!"

Done talking, Chen Jianghe grabbed the air on both sides. Instantly, Spiritual Qi was agitating around him, causing wind everywhere.

On the river in front of him, the east flow of water became messy and quickly formed several boiling-water-like areas in different directions. The boiling water kept bubbling and the noise became louder and louder, particularly weird under the moonlight as if horrible things would happen. It could be imagined how strong the undercurrents were underwater.

Chen Jianghe's move seemed slow, but in fact, he raised his arms quickly. At this moment, he suddenly shouted out with his robe fluttering and his long hair dancing wildly, "Flood dragons turn up from the sea! Get up!"

Boom, boom, boom, boom! Suddenly, four springs rushed out from four boiling-water-like areas, up to more than ten meters.

They were not springs because they had shapes. They looked like flood dragons with deer-like horns, tiger-like heads, snake-like body, and eagle-like claws!

As soon as the water dragons turned up, they made a loud sound together. They opened their mouths and waved their claws, full of intelligence as if they were alive. They were tall and long. They looked at Li Ye who stood at the center as small as an ant as if they could blow him away easily with one breath.

Chen Jianghe said with a cruel smile, "Bastard. I will let you try the attack of the flood dragons! I remind you that you're going to die a horrible death!"

He bit the tip of his tongue so that his blood spurted from his mouth. His blood was divided into four small streams, flowing into the bodies of the four water dragons. Immediately, the clear and transparent water dragons were covered with blood, particularly terrible and ferocious under the dark night. They roared and rushed towards Li Ye.

Chen Jianghe shouted loudly, "Four flood dragons, kill him!"
