Seeing Yang Qi's stunned expression, Li Si, who was not far away, immediately explained, "The Red Eyebrow Emperor and Master Baiyun are good friends for life and death."
The Red Eyebrow Emperor!
Hearing Li Si's words, Yang Qi showed a bitter smile on his face. He was of course familiar with the Red Eyebrow Emperor, as he was the master who killed Jiang Feng. But he didn't know that Emperor Baiyun was actually a good friend of the Red Eyebrow Emperor.
"Third senior brother, if we delay, something bad will happen. Thank you for your help." Li Si looked at the Martial Emperor on the side and said.
The Martial Emperor nodded slightly upon hearing this, but there was still a hint of contempt on his face, and he obviously did not take Li Si's words to heart. As a one-star Martial Emperor mid-stage cultivator, he did have the strength and confidence. After all, Yang Qi was only at the peak of the Martial Emperor. Even if he had hidden some of his strength, it was unexpected that he could have the combat power of the Martial Emperor, not to mention being on par with him.
“It is a blessing to be able to kill a demon cultivator like you. Remember my name.” The Martial Emperor looked at Yang Qi and said with a cold smile, “My name is Xueyang!”
"Die!"
With a loud shout from Emperor Xueyang, his figure flashed and he immediately rushed towards Yang Qi. The big knife in his hand turned into a stream of light and slashed directly towards Yang Qi.
"Stop it for me!"
Facing the incoming attack, Yang Qi did not retreat but advanced instead, urging the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand to block the terrifying incoming blade light.
"Boom~"
The blade light and the sword light collided with each other, accompanied by a loud bang, and the surrounding void was instantly shattered and annihilated, and the invisible force storm dissipated.
“So strong!”
Feeling the residual power that was dissipating, the expressions of the practitioners from the Snow Jade Palace changed slightly. There were also peak Martial Emperors among them, but they were unable to possess such a powerful might.
“He is indeed a monster that even Li Si feels inferior to. He has reached the peak of Martial Emperor after thousands of years of practice and still has such terrifying strength.” A peak Martial Emperor sighed in his heart.
All of them, including Li Si, practiced longer than Yang Qi, and the practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor practiced dozens of times more than Yang Qi. But even so, if they were to fight Yang Qi alone, they would still be no match for him. This was the gap!
Emperor Xueyang's gaze fell on Yang Qi, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "You really have hidden your strength!"
Before, when he attacked the peak Martial Emperor who had seized the World Heart, Yang Qi blocked his attack, and the strength he showed was only at the level of a half-step Martial Emperor. But now, the strength he showed was infinitely close to the level of a Martial Emperor, and was obviously stronger than before.
“It’s a pity that if this is all your strength, you will definitely die today.” Xue Yang’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. He flashed his body and rushed towards Yang Qi again, but this time, he did not hold back.
Boom! Boom!
In the void, two figures kept fighting each other, and extremely terrifying noises continued to spread. The terrifying power that spread out covered an area of hundreds of thousands of feet in radius. Even a weak high-level Martial Emperor would be in danger of his life if he got close.
“Finally escaped!”
Just as Yang Qi was fighting with Emperor Xueyang, the cultivator who had seized the Heart of the World finally escaped from the area where Emperor Xueyang had sealed off time and space.
The peak Martial Emperor looked at the two figures fighting in the air, and thought to himself, "It's all thanks to this kid. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to escape if Emperor Xueyang came to kill me."
If Yang Qi's identity had not been exposed, Emperor Xueyang would have definitely hunted him down immediately. With his strength, it would have been impossible for him to escape and he would have only one way to go, which was death.
"I'd rather die than let my fellow Taoist die. It's better for me to leave first." The man at the peak of the Martial Emperor level didn't dare to stay and immediately traveled through space and left.
Facing the full-force burst of Emperor Xueyang, Yang Qi was completely crushed. After just a short fight, several huge bloodstains appeared on his body. Although the bloodstains were not small, only a very small amount of blood had overflowed.
This is not because Yang Qi's body is strong or his recovery ability is strong, but because of the terrible power of ice and fire contained in Emperor Xueyang's attack. Not only can it suppress the body's recovery ability, making it difficult for the wound to recover, but the power of ice and fire will also continue to erode the body.
Wow~
Yang Qi moved his hand and immediately activated a life-saving item. In an instant, a light curtain enveloped his body. With the protection of the life-saving item, it became easier for Yang Qi to resist the attack of Emperor Xueyang.
However, the energy of a life-saving item is limited after all. A life-saving item at the Martial Emperor level cannot last for too long and its energy is soon exhausted by Emperor Xueyang.
Seeing Yang Qi once again activating a life-saving item, Emperor Xueyang couldn't help but sneer and said, "I want to see how long the life-saving item in your hand can last!"
Emperor Xueyang did not care at all about Yang Qi's peak Martial Emperor who possessed combat power close to that of a Martial Emperor. What he was worried about was the life-saving item on Yang Qi's body. After all, the existence behind Yang Qi was no weaker than that of their Snow Jade Palace. The life-saving item on Yang Qi's body might threaten him.
Precisely because of this, although Emperor Xueyang was a mid-stage one-star Martial Emperor, he did not get too close to Yang Qi, for fear of being threatened by Yang Qi's life-saving item.
In the battlefield, Yang Qi was completely suppressed, and his life-saving items were constantly consumed. Even if Yang Qi occasionally used the life-saving items to attack Emperor Xueyang, Emperor Xueyang was a true Martial Emperor, and ordinary Martial Emperor-level treasures could not pose much threat to him.
Looking at the battle in the void, Li Si frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind, "Yang Qi is completely at a disadvantage, but why do I feel a little uneasy?"
Li Si was only at the peak of the five-star Martial Emperor level, while Yang Qi had combat power close to that of a Martial Emperor. His fight with Emperor Xueyang was a battle at the Martial Emperor level, which he could not see clearly. However, he could still tell the difference in strength.
Although Yang Qi was almost crushed by Emperor Xueyang at this moment, Li Si felt a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that he had overlooked something.
Looking at Yang Qi who was being suppressed and had almost no ability to fight back, Li Si couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Am I overthinking?"
A Martial Emperor with a combat power close to that of a Martial Emperor was already a monstrous person. Even in the Snow Jade Palace, such a cultivator would only appear once in a long time. Moreover, the Snow Sun Emperor himself was also very careful and secretly guarded against Yang Qi. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like there was any problem.
Wow~
The light curtain on Yang Qi's body disappeared, and a sharp blade light fell on him. Then, Emperor Xueyang, who was not far away, rushed over quickly.
Whoosh~
At this moment, Yang Qi moved his hand, and a powerful force burst out from his hand, turning into a sharp sword light and slashed towards Emperor Xueyang.
Feeling the powerful force contained in the sword light, Emperor Xueyang couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "I have been on guard against you for a long time." (To be continued)
