"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Seeing that Yang Qi did not refuse again, Emperor Lei Zhong and the other two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It is said that the hardest thing to repay is a debt of favor, and what they are compensating Yang Qi with now is also a debt of favor.
Emperor Lei Zhong looked at Yang Qi and the other two and said slowly, "Everyone, take a short break before going on to the next demon-killing mission."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi and the other two could not help but nodded. Yang Qi had been traveling at full speed before, but it consumed a lot of energy, while the three people of Giant Rock Emperor had surrounded and killed the demon-killing target before, which also consumed a lot of energy. They all needed some time to rest before they could set off again.
After the group of four rested for a few days in the cultivation world in front of them, they set out for the next demon-hunting mission area. Of the thirteen demon-hunting missions, only two were left to be attempted. Generally speaking, the completion rate of these unattended demon-hunting missions would be higher than those that had been attempted but had no results.
Not sure if Yang Qi and his four companions had run out of luck, but for their next mission, they sought information from the nearby cultivation forces and the Inspection Hall. They waited for half a year but still received no information about the target of the demon-killing mission.
That day, Yang Qi and the other three gathered together. Emperor Lei Zhong looked at them and said, "Half a year has passed and there is no news. According to the previous plan, let's try the next demon-killing mission first."
After hearing this, Yang Qi and the other two could only nod their heads helplessly. After all, they couldn't keep wasting time on this demon-killing mission.
Emperor Lei Zhong looked at Yang Qi and the other two in front of him and said solemnly, "This last demon-killing mission is also the most difficult one among all the demon-killing missions we have accepted this time."
The target of this demon-killing mission is a cultivator named Ice Blade Emperor. According to the information previously obtained by Yang Qi and the other four, this Ice Blade Emperor has not just appeared on the demon-killing mission list, but has appeared on the demon-killing mission list for hundreds of thousands of years.
The reason why no cultivator has completed this task in the past hundreds of thousands of years is because there has been almost no news about the Ice Blade Emperor in the previous hundreds of thousands of years. Some cultivators who tried to take on this demon-slaying task had no choice but to give up the task because they couldn't even find the Ice Blade Emperor.
The reason why Yang Qi and the other three accepted this mission was not because they wanted to try their luck, but because not long ago, the Ice Blade Emperor, who had been out of news for a long time, suddenly appeared, so Yang Qi and the other three accepted the mission of exorcising demons from him.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "This Ice Blade Emperor has not appeared since the team that accepted the demon-killing mission failed to kill him. According to intelligence, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Ice Blade Emperor was already at the peak of the five-star Martial Emperor, and was only one step away from the six-star Martial Emperor. Now that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, he may have already stepped into the six-star Martial Emperor!"
The reason why this demon-slaying mission was placed at the end was because they didn't even know the true cultivation level of the Ice Blade Emperor. However, the Demon-Slaying Palace did not adjust the difficulty and rewards of this demon-slaying mission, which means that a cultivator at the peak level of a five-star Martial Emperor can complete this demon-slaying mission.
However, Yang Qi and his companions did not dare to be careless. After all, the six-star martial emperor and the peak five-star martial emperor were a high threshold. If it was a cultivator at the peak of the five-star martial emperor level, Yang Qi and his companions could kill him easily, but if they were facing a cultivator at the six-star martial emperor level, they would have to spend a lot of effort to kill him.
"Brother Xuxing is right. Therefore, we must deal with the Ice Blade Emperor as a six-star Martial Emperor." Emperor Lei Zhong glanced at everyone and continued, "Next, when we look for the Ice Blade Emperor's whereabouts, we must work in teams of two."
If any one of Yang Qi and the other three were to face the Six-Star Martial Emperor alone, it would be very strenuous, and even life-threatening. For safety, they had to work in teams of two when searching for the Ice Blade Emperor. Although this would be less efficient in searching for the Ice Blade Emperor, it would be much safer if they really encountered the Ice Blade Emperor.
As for the distribution of the teams, it had been arranged long ago. Yang Qi was in a team with Emperor Juyan, while Emperor Lei Zhong and Emperor Luo Yue were in a team.
"In addition, this Ice Blade Emperor is good at swordsmanship. It is said that his attainments in swordsmanship are not low. Once you meet him, you must be extra careful." Emperor Lei Zhong spoke again.
"Swordsmanship?"
A trace of disdain flashed across the face of the Giant Rock Emperor, and he continued, "Our Sword Palace has gathered sword masters from the endless universe. How can a mere casual cultivator who has learned the way of the sword by himself call himself a sword master?"
The Sword Palace and the Knife Palace are the two most powerful forces in the twelve major forces of the Source Saint Church. Those who can join them are all the best in sword and knife. If facing a practitioner from the Knife Palace, Emperor Juyan might pay more attention to him, but the Ice Blade Emperor is just a casual cultivator, so Emperor Juyan naturally won't take this to heart.
Seeing this, Yang Qi opened his mouth to remind, "No matter what, it's better to be more careful."
Although the probability of a strong person appearing among the casual cultivators is indeed lower, it does not mean that there are no strong people among them. Before actually fighting with the Ice Blade Emperor and seeing his methods, Yang Qi would never underestimate any opponent, not to mention that the opponent's cultivation level might be higher than theirs.
"Brother Xuxing is right. We should not be careless." Emperor Lei Zhong glanced at Emperor Ju Yan and continued, "Let's set off first."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Juyan nodded indifferently. It was not because he was careless, but because he followed the body training style and was good at saving his life and fighting head-on. Even if he faced the six-star martial emperor alone, he could resist for a while, not to mention that there was Yang Qi, a cultivator who was as powerful as him, to act together. Even if the Ice Blade Emperor was really a six-star martial emperor and really had a high level of attainment in the way of the sword, he was not afraid at all!
This is not arrogance, but confidence!
Yang Qi and his four companions immediately set out to the area where the Ice Blade Emperor had appeared before, and at the same time collected intelligence about the Ice Blade Emperor through the Inspection Hall.
In fact, the Inspection Hall has been collecting information about the Ice Blade Emperor, but there is no latest information yet. After Yang Qi and the other four arrived at the star field where the Ice Blade Emperor had previously been active, they could only search for the whereabouts of the Ice Blade Emperor through the nearby cultivation forces.
On this day, Yang Qi was in seclusion practicing, when he suddenly received a message from Emperor Lei Zhong, "Brother Xu Xing, Emperor Bing Ren appeared!"
The Ice Blade Emperor appeared
After receiving the message from Emperor Lei Zhong, Yang Qi was slightly stunned. They arrived in this area less than half a month ago, and the Ice Blade Emperor showed up. This was too much of a coincidence.
