"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
"Fellow Daoist Xu Xing, please be careful!"
Emperor Pyracantha said something, then his body shook and he quickly distanced himself from Yang Qi.
He knew his own limitations and that a battle at the high-level Martial Emperor was not something he could get involved in. If he got too close, he would only drag Yang Qi down, so he chose to distance himself at the first possible moment. This was the best approach for both him and Yang Qi.
Just as the Firethorn Emperor was pulling away, that powerful aura was rapidly rushing towards where Yang Qi and the others were, and as it got closer, its aura became clearer.
After clearly sensing the other party's breath, Yang Qi's eyes fixed and he said in a deep voice, "It's him!"
Whoosh~
As he was speaking, a figure flew directly from the depths of the void and instantly came into the sight of Yang Qi and Emperor Pyrothorn.
“It’s actually him!”
Seeing the person coming, Emperor Huoji's expression changed. He was not a stranger to the person coming, because this person was the eight-star martial emperor peak-level cultivator who had competed with Yang Qi for the cushion before and was driven out of the dojo by Emperor Tianming!
"A cultivator at the peak level of the Eight-Star Martial Emperor!"
The pupils of Emperor Pyrothorn shrank. Yang Qi was only at the early stage of the eight-star Martial Emperor. Although from the previous discussion between Yang Qi and Emperor Tianming, Yang Qi should be the kind of heaven-defying practitioner who might have the ability to fight across levels.
However, there is a gap of three small realms between the peak of Eight-Star Martial Emperor and the early stage of Eight-Star Martial Emperor. Even if Yang Qi has the ability to fight across levels, he is definitely no match for a cultivator at the peak level of Eight-Star Martial Emperor!
"Fellow Daoist Xuxing, I will go to Tianhong Sect to ask for help immediately!" Emperor Huoji immediately sent a message to Yang Qi.
They were not too far away from Tianhong Sect, and they rushed to Tianhong Sect to ask for help at this time. Judging from the attitude of Emperor Tianming who was willing to hand over his token to Yang Qi and give Yang Qi an opportunity to make friends with him, if Emperor Tianming learned that Yang Qi was in danger, he would definitely help him.
Therefore, choosing to go to Tianhong Sect for help is not only the fastest, but also the most likely way to save Yang Qi!
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi immediately transmitted his voice, "No need, I am still somewhat confident that I can deal with a cultivator at the peak of the Eight-Star Martial Emperor level."
Yang Qi is not a person who likes to owe favors to others, especially since he already owed Emperor Tianming a considerable favor. If he asked for help again at this time, he would owe Emperor Tianming an even greater favor.
Of course, if the enemy in front of him was indeed beyond his ability to deal with, then in order to save his life, he would have to ask for help from Emperor Tianming. However, the eight-star martial emperor peak level cultivator in front of him could not threaten Yang Qi's life. In this case, he naturally had no need to ask for help from Emperor Tianming.
In fact, after Yang Qi entered the eight-star Martial Emperor level, he had hardly ever fought with all his strength, and even battles at the high-level Martial Emperor level had almost never happened.
After all, practitioners at the high-level Martial Emperor level are considered to be the top group of practitioners no matter where they are in the star field. Unless something big happens in the star field, practitioners at the high-level Martial Emperor level rarely fight with each other.
After entering the rank of Eight-Star Martial Emperor, Yang Qi had the confidence to not fear practitioners below the Emperor level. Now that so many years have passed, his strength has slightly improved, and he is naturally more confident.
The cultivator in front of him was already at the peak level of an eight-star Martial Emperor, the cultivator with the highest level of cultivation below the Emperor level. Yang Qi also wanted to use the other party's hand to test how strong he really was!
Of course, the reason why Yang Qi acted like this was largely due to the brief fight in the Taoist temple before. The fight at that time had already given Yang Qi a certain understanding of the strength of the eight-star Martial Emperor peak practitioner in front of him.
"Not asking for help?" Upon hearing Yang Qi's voice transmission, the Firethorn Emperor was obviously stunned. Yang Qi actually planned to fight against the eight-star Martial Emperor at the peak of his powers by himself. Could he really do it with Yang Qi's cultivation level of an early eight-star Martial Emperor
“You didn’t even run away?” The visitor looked at Yang Qi who was hovering in the air, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he said coldly, “You are quite courageous!”
Yang Qi's choice to stay in the void and wait for his arrival was somewhat beyond his expectations. However, since the newcomer intended to deal with Yang Qi, he was naturally confident that even if Yang Qi chose to escape, he would be able to defeat the other party.
Therefore, whether Yang Qi escapes or fights, it doesn't make much difference to the people who come.
The man's eyes fell on Yang Qi, and he said with a cold smile, "You took away my opportunity and destroyed my hope of entering the level of Emperor. You deserve to die!"
It is true!
Hearing the words of the person who came, Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. After realizing that the person who came was the eight-star Martial Emperor peak cultivator who had fought with him for the cushion before, he knew that the other party probably hated him because of the previous fight over the cushion.
After all, when the fight for the cushion was going on, the visitor not only lost the chance to get the cushion, but even lost the chance to listen to the sermon.
“You were too reckless at the beginning. You actually dared to fight for the cushion in the dojo set up by the peak Martial Emperor. Even if it wasn’t me, any other practitioner would have suffered the same fate.” Yang Qi looked at the person who came and said.
This kind of temple where sermons are preached publicly obviously benefits many practitioners. If someone relies on his or her strength to compete for a good position to listen to the sermons, it is absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, the temple will inevitably turn into a battlefield, which is contrary to the purpose of the temple owner's public preaching.
From the moment the person chooses to attack, his fate is already determined. No matter who he attacks, he will be kicked out of the dojo by the owner of the dojo. This is the invisible rule set by the owner of the dojo.
“If you hadn’t fought with me for the cushion, why would I have been so anxious to attack you?” The man glanced at Yang Qi and said with hatred, “Do you know that I have been trapped at the peak of the Eight-Star Martial Emperor for many years? How important is the public preaching of a peak Martial Emperor to me? Perhaps that is the opportunity for me to step into the level of Emperor!”
"You have ruined my chance. No matter how much you say, you will not escape death today!" said the man with murderous intent on his face.
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In order to step into the level of Emperor, this person must have been possessed by some obsession. Otherwise, with the mind of an eight-star Martial Emperor at the peak, he would have been bullied into such a dead end.
Seeing that his argument was not working, Yang Qi's expression became serious, and he said calmly, "If that's the case, let's see who's the real deal!"
"Since you still have some courage and responsibility, I will give you a quick death!"
The man sneered, then his body flashed and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Yang Qi.
Whoosh~
The sword in the man's hand, which had been ready for a long time, turned into a sharp sword light and slashed towards Yang Qi.
Compared to the previous time in the dojo, the might contained in the sword of the newcomer was obviously much stronger. This was not surprising. Although the newcomer chose to take action in the dojo, he still had some concerns in his heart, so he did not use his full strength.
