"Oh no, it's Li Si!"
Yang Qi's face suddenly changed. Among the practitioners in the Snow Jade Palace, he had the most contact with Li Si and had the greatest hatred for him. Naturally, he was not unfamiliar with Li Si's aura. Although the aura would change as the practitioner's cultivation and realm improved, it would not become completely different. Therefore, the moment Li Si's aura appeared, Yang Qi judged the other party's identity.
Like Yang Qi, Li Si must be familiar with his aura. Once the other party can sense his aura, he will definitely be able to determine his identity in an instant.
The Martial Emperor in front of him was also a cultivator from the Snow Jade Palace. Even though Yang Qi was not afraid of him with his strength, there was no need to provoke such trouble.
Whoosh~
Sensing Li Si's arrival, Yang Qi did not linger at all. With a flash of his body, he immediately followed those retreating practitioners and flew towards the depths of the void.
Whoosh~
At the moment when Yang Qi flew out, a fierce force came towards him. That force had already reached the level of Martial Emperor. It was obviously the Martial Emperor of the Snow Jade Palace taking action.
"What's going on? Have we been discovered?" Feeling the terrifying power coming at him, Yang Qi's face changed. He did not recognize the Martial Emperor in front of him. Logically, the other party should not know his identity, but now the Martial Emperor attacked him.
"You don't know how to live or die. You dare to take advantage of something that my Snow Jade Palace has set its eyes on." Along with the terrifying power, a cold shout came from a distance.
"Heart of the World!"
Hearing this voice, Yang Qi immediately understood and looked towards the direction of the Heart of the World.
A Martial Emperor Peak cultivator actually tried to take the World Heart while escaping. No wonder the Martial Emperor of Snow Jade Palace would take action. The direction Yang Qi left happened to be in the area covered by the attack, and he was completely caught in the crossfire.
Looking at the cultivator who tried to snatch the World Heart, Yang Qi's mouth twitched, and he was speechless. "You really don't even want your life for the treasure. You've really hurt me this time."
He had originally planned to avoid Li Si, but now that the Martial Emperor from the Snow Jade Palace had taken action, he was enveloped by the attack and could only resist. If he delayed time, his identity would be exposed when Li Si arrived.
"It's over!"
"I want to die."
"We did not take the Heart of the World. Please spare our lives, Senior."
When a Martial Emperor takes action, the range of the attack is quite large, and dozens of practitioners are affected, most of whom are low-level Martial Emperors or Martial Kings. Once affected, they will surely die.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's mind moved, and the energy in his body burst out with all his strength. He shook the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand and directly met the fierce attack.
“You don’t know your own limitations!”
Seeing Yang Qi actually blocking his attack, the Martial Emperor had a flash of disdain in his eyes. He had already discovered that Yang Qi was at the peak of the Martial Emperor. Originally, Yang Qi was just affected, and it was no problem for him to save his life with his peak Martial Emperor cultivation. But now he actually wanted to directly block his attack, which was overestimating his own abilities.
Boom!
The two fierce attacks collided with each other, and immediately there was a terrifying roar. An invisible force storm spread out from the center of the fight between the two people. Yang Qi's figure was also blown away under the terrifying power.
Wow~Wow~
Several practitioners who were relatively close to the force storm but whose strength was not very strong were directly affected by the residual power, and their bodies were instantly annihilated, as if they had never existed.
"Um?"
When the Martial Emperor of the Snow Jade Palace saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Although he did not use his full strength in this move, the power had reached the Martial Emperor level, which was definitely not something that a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level could resist.
“Half-step Martial Emperor, he does have some strength.” The cultivator from the Snow Jade Palace withdrew his gaze from Yang Qi, and with a flash of his body, he immediately rushed towards the peak Martial Emperor who was about to leave after seizing the Heart of the World.
Phew~
Seeing this, Yang Qi was also relieved. He was really worried that this martial emperor would attack him immediately because he blocked his attack. Fortunately, in the eyes of the martial emperor, the heart of the world seemed to be more important, and he didn't pay much attention to him.
What Yang Qi didn't know was that the reason why the Martial Emperor didn't attack him was not only because he cared more about the Heart of the World, but also because he realized that Yang Qi was quite powerful and speculated that Yang Qi was a half-step Martial Emperor from a large force. This kind of cultivator was equivalent to having one foot in the Martial Emperor realm. Even for a cultivation force like the Snow Jade Palace, he was an extremely important member. If he was killed at will, it would likely cause dissatisfaction among the cultivation forces behind Yang Qi.
The cultivation forces in the nearby star fields did not dare to interfere with the Snow Jade Palace, but if the Snow Jade Palace pressed too hard, those big forces would not sit still and wait for death. In the final analysis, although the Snow Jade Palace acted in a domineering manner, it was mainly aimed at the cultivators of small forces, and they still had some concerns about those big forces.
As Yang Qi flew towards the depths of the void, he looked at the Martial Emperor of the Snow Jade Palace who was trying to seize the Heart of the World. He wondered in his heart, "However, how could he, a Martial Emperor, be so concerned about the Heart of the World?"
The Heart of the World is indeed quite precious, but that is only true for those at the Martial King and Martial Emperor realms. For those at the Martial Emperor realm, it should not be a big deal. After all, Yang Qi bought a Heart of the World directly at an auction.
Although he was curious, Yang Qi did not dare to stay, because he perceived that Li Si's breath was approaching rapidly. Once Li Si noticed him, it would be difficult for him to leave.
"It should be in time..."
Yang Qi estimated the positions of himself and Li Si. He had sensed that Li Si was only at the peak of the five-star Martial Emperor level. With his current speed, he could leave before Li Si got close.
Buzz~
However, just as this thought flashed through Yang Qi's mind, the space and time around him suddenly trembled, and the next moment, Yang Qi's speed dropped drastically.
"I can't be so unlucky!" Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart.
The reason why the Martial Emperor sealed off time and space was naturally to keep the cultivator who had seized the Heart of the World. However, given the overbearing behavior of the cultivators from the Snow Jade Palace, they did not need to consider other cultivators when sealing off time and space, or they should have avoided them on purpose. Therefore, Yang Qi was affected.
Under the forbidden time and space, the speed of the peak Martial Emperor was greatly reduced. He knew that he could not escape the pursuit of the Martial Emperor, and immediately begged for mercy, "I am willing to hand over the Heart of the World, please spare my life, Senior!"
"You are courting death. Don't blame me for being ruthless." The Martial Emperor snorted coldly.
The Martial Emperor Peak tried to snatch the World Heart right in front of him, and it was after he opened his mouth and regarded the World Heart as a sure thing. This was simply a provocation to the Snow Jade Palace and the majesty of the Martial Emperor Realm. How could he possibly leave him alone? Taking this opportunity to kill him was also a good opportunity to establish his authority, and let these practitioners in front of him know that the majesty of the Martial Emperor Realm and the majesty of the Snow Jade Palace could not be challenged.
