As he spoke, the aura of Emperor Huangshi burst out, and an extremely powerful pressure attacked Yang Qi. It was obvious that he wanted to use the pressure of the peak Martial Emperor to force Yang Qi to surrender!
Unfortunately, Emperor Huangshi obviously underestimated Yang Qi. How could the pressure from the peak of the Martial Emperor make Yang Qi yield? The seemingly tyrannical pressure was like a stone sinking into the sea when it came into contact with Yang Qi.
Um
Upon seeing this scene, Emperor Huangshi's expression changed slightly. He obviously did not expect that the pressure he released would have no effect on a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor.
Not only him, but also the peak Martial Emperor practitioner not far away had a look of surprise on his face. Obviously, he did not expect that Yang Qi could ignore the pressure from a peak Martial Emperor practitioner.
You know, facing the pressure released by a peak Martial Emperor with all his strength, even an ordinary late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor might not be able to handle it so lightly.
“You have some skills, no wonder you are so arrogant. But if you think that this is the reason why you dare to look down on me, then you are underestimating the cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor.” Emperor Huangshi smiled coldly. Although he was a little surprised that Yang Qi could ignore his pressure, he was a little surprised.
However, Yang Qi was only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor after all. Emperor Huangshi was confident that as long as he took action, he could easily defeat Yang Qi in front of him.
As he spoke, the Pseudo-Source Divine Weapon in Emperor Huangshi's hand shook, and he was about to attack Yang Qi. However, at this moment, Emperor Linhe beside Yang Qi spoke.
“Huangshi, don’t go too far. Do you think I don’t exist?” Emperor Linhe looked at Emperor Huangshi, and the aura of a peak Martial Emperor was released from his body.
As both of them were practitioners at the peak level of Martial Emperor, Emperor Linhe was naturally not afraid of Emperor Huangshi. However, he chose to support Yang Qi at this time, not entirely to stand up for Yang Qi, but because he did not want Yang Qi to expose his own strength and means too early.
When Yang Qi bursts out with all his strength, he is comparable to a cultivator at the peak level of Martial Emperor. If Emperor Huangshi and the other two knew Yang Qi's strength and means at this moment, how could they catch him by surprise when competing for opportunities later
Although Yang Qi, Huangshi Emperor and the peak Martial Emperor practitioner all knew that he was not comparable to an ordinary 9-star Martial Emperor mid-stage practitioner, in the eyes of Huangshi Emperor and the others, no matter how powerful Yang Qi was, his strength and means were at most similar to those of an ordinary 9-star Martial Emperor late-stage practitioner, and they would never have thought that Yang Qi's strength and means were comparable to those of a peak Martial Emperor.
Therefore, Emperor Linhe chose to support Yang Qi at this time. In addition to preventing Yang Qi from exposing his strength and means, which would have an unexpected effect in the subsequent competition, it could also reduce the vigilance of Emperor Huangshi and the peak martial emperor practitioner.
After all, if Yang Qi had the strength and means to compete with the peak Martial Emperor, Emperor Linhe would not need to stand up for Yang Qi. Emperor Linhe chose to stand up for Yang Qi, which, to a certain extent, was equivalent to telling everyone that Yang Qi's strength and means were not as good as those of a cultivator at the peak Martial Emperor level.
Emperor Huangshi looked at Emperor Linhe with an unpleasant expression and said, "Emperor Linhe, are you trying to stand up for him?"
Yang Qi, even if he was a mid-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor with the strength and means of a late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor, so what? He was not enough to pose any threat to Emperor Huangshi. What Emperor Huangshi really cared about was Emperor Linhe! After all, only Emperor Linhe, who was at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, could pose a threat to Emperor Huangshi.
“Daoyou Xuxing is my teammate. If I don’t stand with him, how can I stand with you?” Emperor Linhe smiled coldly, then looked at the Martial Emperor Peak Practitioner not far away, and said again, “I will only say this once, Daoyou Xuxing is my companion. Anyone who wants to bully him must get past me!”
Before, Emperor Huangshi tried to win over the peak Martial Emperor practitioner, hoping to jointly exert pressure on him. However, Emperor Linhe now showed an attitude that it would be a fight to the death, and the peak Martial Emperor practitioner also began to hesitate.
He didn't mind working together with Emperor Huangshi to put pressure on Emperor Linhe, but he didn't want to see Emperor Linhe's desperate attitude of resistance. He didn't want to make enemies with a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level for no reason.
“Fellow Daoist Linhe, this emperor has absolutely no intention of bullying fellow Daoist Xuxing.” The peak martial emperor looked at Emperor Linhe and continued, “This emperor just hopes to investigate the situation in that area as soon as possible. After all, we arrived here first and have a chance to gain the upper hand. If we wait for other cultivator teams to arrive, we won’t be able to gain any advantage.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Huangshi frowned. He did not expect that the peak Martial Emperor would show weakness to Emperor Linhe so quickly. However, he also understood that the other party did not want to rashly interfere in the feud between him and Emperor Linhe, so naturally he would not force Emperor Linhe excessively.
“Hmph~” Emperor Huangshi snorted coldly, but he had no intention of continuing to attack Yang Qi. He immediately said coldly, “Since Fellow Daoist Linhe is unwilling to send his practitioners to that special area, let the practitioners under our three parties explore it together!”
Since they could not force Yang Qi to investigate alone, Emperor Huangshi and the peak Martial Emperor cultivator naturally could not let their cultivators investigate alone. Everything had to go back to the beginning, with each of the three teams sending a cultivator to investigate.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two Nine-Star Martial Emperor late-stage practitioners suddenly changed slightly, and they looked at Yang Qi with some hostility. If it were not for Yang Qi, they would not have to be the first batch to enter that special area to investigate.
In fact, all of this was due to Emperor Linhe. However, the two practitioners in the late Nine-Star Martial Emperor stage did not care to blame Emperor Linhe at all. After all, they knew very well that Emperor Linhe was not someone they could afford to provoke.
Feeling the slightly hostile gazes of the two late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperors, Yang Qi couldn't help but frown. Seeing that he couldn't force him, Emperor Huangshi actually shifted his gaze, causing the two late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperors to be hostile to him.
However, Yang Qi did not particularly care about this. If it was the hostility of two peak Martial Emperor practitioners, Yang Qi might still take it seriously. But the hostility of two late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor practitioners, even without using the Star Orb, he could easily deal with it, so naturally he would not be afraid at all.
"This emperor has no objection!" The Martial Emperor peak cultivator nodded slightly, then looked at Emperor Linhe and said, "Fellow Daoist Linhe, what about you?"
“This emperor has no objection.” Emperor Linhe shook his head slightly. He could do his best to protect Yang Qi, but now Emperor Huangshi and the other emperor had decided to send cultivators to investigate. If he was unwilling to send cultivators, he would definitely be targeted by Emperor Huangshi and the other emperor.
