Chapter 347 Back-strikeLi Ye’s words seemed to be nonsense, but it was not without reason. The Immortal Court and Land Buddhism were like fire and ice, so none wanted to give a step at all. Feihong Bodhisattva did not agree with Huang Jingyuan’s proposal. Now that the three parties were converging, the situation was deadlocked. If they did not want to have a life-and-death struggle, they could only take a step back and temporarily disperse.

Before Li Ye came in, he saw that this derelict city was named Dingyuan. It was the largest city within 50 kilometers, and it was also the junction of several major roads that explored in any direction. Nearby cultivators, be it from the Immortal Court, the Land Buddhism or demon clan were mostly gathered here.

The perfect scenario for Li Ye’s wishful thinking was like thus; Now that they were well-represented in the Immortal Court, they would temporarily retreat. They would wait for the reinforcements to come, and everyone would regain strength, then they would come to fight again.

For the Immortal Court and Land Buddhism, there was not enough manpower on one side. On another side, there were still many companions that had been hurt in battle and not yet been treated. Thus for or the time being, truce was a common need.

Once the situation developed in this way, it was the scenario that Li Ye had been hoping for. After all, he was confident. No one would be more familiar with fighting with small-scale elite teams in the ruins than him, because he was from earth.

Unfortunately, Li Ye’s wishful thinking was impossible to materialize.

The first disagreement was not from Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen, who had “deep hatred” for him, but Feihong Bodhisattva.

Feihong Bodhisattva looked at him with a smile. Her clear eyes were full of ridicule. “If the Prince An just leaves, doesn’t that mean I’ve done you a favor?”

The meaning of these words was very clear. Those who had “deep hatred” towards Li Ye were not only the Immortal Court, but the same with the Land Buddhism. In the Qinzhou battle, more than half of the eighteen arhats were killed by Li Ye.

However, Li Ye seemed to have forgotten this. He thumped his chest and added righteously, “Thank you for your help, and I’ll be sure to return the favor in the future!”

After saying this, Li Ye turned and went down the roof. He shouted to the demon clan, “Evacuate to the north of the city!”

The cultivators of the demon clan didn’t even hesitate, and they turned around and left from the guard position, rushing towards the north.

Seeing this scene, Huang Jingyuan was horrified. Chen Jizhen froze like a wooden chicken, the Land Buddhism monks were in disbelief. Even the Feihong Bodhisattva was stunned. The bewildered appearance appeared on her perfectly sacred and solemn face, which had a different kind of contrasting beauty.

To trace the roots, cultivators of the Immortal Court and Land Buddhism monks had been resentful towards each other for 800 years. As soon as Li Ye and others left, they stared at each other. It was impossible to get along harmoniously for them. It was very possible however, to fight each other.

However, someone had no intention to let the situation develop like this.

The enmity between the Immortal Court and the Land Buddhism had a long history. But at present, Li Ye’s actions had caused large damage to the dignity of the Immortal Court. It had made them angry and could suspend the fight with the Land Buddhism.

“Go ahead, kill him!” Chen Jizhen was furious first, and before he finished speaking, he rushed up. The cultivators of the Immortal Court next to him, three or four people who responded quickly, followed him.

Huang Jingyuan didn’t stop him this time. The fact that Li Ye was just acting was really irritating inexplicably, moreover, Chen Jizhen was so angry that he couldn’t stop it.

Seeing that Chen Jizhen was moving, Feihong Bodhisattva’s first reaction was not to make any moves. Since she did not move, neither did the Land Buddhism monks. In terms of order and behavior, the Buddhists were much more civil than the Taoist sect cultivators, who advocated freedom.

Chen Jizhen led his men to the courtyard where Li Ye and others were. Seeing that Li Ye and others were about to run, they moved very quickly, and the formation was naturally scattered.

At that moment, the thing that made Chen Jizhen’s pupils shrink had occurred.

That was something he never expected.

Li Ye and others who were evacuating stopped suddenly when they climbed over the wall and passed the courtyard.

The location of their sudden stop happened to be another large-scale house. And the position of each cultivator from the demon clan was to guard the tactical points—roof, wall top and doorway.

These sites had a wide field of view and shelters covering themselves.

Of course, this was not a coincidence.

Not only that, when Li Ye and the cultivators of demon clan had suddenly stopped from running, they then unexpectedly turned with crossbows in their hands. They aimed at the cultivators of the Immortal Court who came after them.

Their next move was in unison.

They fired their Crossbows in unison.

Chen Jizhen’s expression changed greatly, and he panicked like his heart was being trampled by a bison.

He wanted to shout, but it was too late.

The shoop, shoop noise came unexpectedly.

Sounds of arrows penetrating the flesh came one after another.

The screams of the cultivators from the Immortal Court could be heard immediately.

Then there was the sound of falling to the ground.

Chen Jizhen had no chance to rescue anyone, because he had to protect himself and block the crossbows fired at him.

When Chen Jizhen found a shelter and shrank behind the nearby cob wall, he saw that the three of the Immortal Court cultivators who had followed him had fallen down. One of them was dead with an arrow between his eyebrows. And the other two fell into a pool of blood, losing their ability to move.

Chen Jizhen was furious, and his grievance and indignant resent was beyond words. He shrank behind the wall and shouted in Li Ye’s direction, “Li Ye, you b*stard! If you are a brave man, come out and fight me to the death!”

Chen Jizhen had been schemed by Li Ye time and again. It made Chen Jizhen’s indignation out of control. If his previous anger was just simply directed towards the hatred of Li Ye, then at this moment, his anger contained hatred for his incompetence. This was an experience that Chen Jizhen had never had before, and he never felt himself incompetent before.

Incompetence or not, there were often no absolute standards. But conclusions were drawn through comparison. After comparing himself with Li Ye, he could come to the angry conclusion that he really was incompetent.

Because he had suffered losses one after another, and suffered defeat successively.

Chen Jizhen’s indignation did not get any reaction from Li Ye.

On the roof, Li Ye reloaded his crossbow calmly and had no time to care about Chen Jizhen’s growl. He always ignored the roar of the incompetent because it was not worth it.

After Chen Jizhen’s pursuit was suddenly debunked, Huang Jingyuan was eager to save his men. So he led the remaining cultivators to catch up. When they did, naturally they launched an attack on Li Ye and his crew. Instead of passively saving people, they preferred to take the initiative to attack. They still had a dozen people, so they had the capital to attack.

But they were met with more accurate crossbows!

Of course it was more accurate.

Previously the demon clan cultivators had to stop suddenly from running, then turn, lift their cross-bows and aim. This serious of actions were not easy to complete, not to mention the time limit they were restricted to, so naturally their accuracy had suffered a bit. Otherwise, more than three of Chen Jizhen would have been either dead or hurt because eight of them had fired off their cross-bows.

But at this moment it was different. The demon clan cultivators had firmly stood their positions. Thus they pulled the triggers much more steadily this time.

Huang Jingyuan and others immediately suffered a head-on blow.

However, compared to the rashness of Chen Jizhen and his crew, Huang Jingyuan and his men were more cautious with their actions because they caught up later. Therefore, many cultivators had dodged the arrows with the aid of the courtyard walls, trees, houses.

However, casualty was inevitable.

Three cultivators of the Immortal Court fell once again.

One was slightly injured and two were seriously wounded.
