High-level cultivators were already hard to come by, let alone those who could reach level 9 of Qi-refining . However, as war raged throughout the world, there were still quite a few top-notch cultivators on the battlefield of the borders . Still, at the battlefield, few of them would directly charge toward the enemy's formation, like what Li Ye just did . That was to prevent such circ.u.mstance from happening .

Since there was a master on our side, there must be another master on the opposite side .

Whether the cultivators or ordinary people, when they attacked, they were vulnerable . If a master directly attacked the military formation, he was definitely giving the opposite master a chance . If the opposite master was hidden, then even one minor mistake could lead to serious injury or death .

Thus, the toll your attack took would be evened by the opposite master . On top of that, after the master at our side retreated or died, without protection, our army would be fully exposed to the opposite master .

Thus, on the battlefield, there was an unwritten rule that masters only fought masters . They couldn't attack ordinary soldiers or generals .

Li Ye was unable to finish his attack when he was attacked out of the blue . He was forced to retreat for hundreds of steps . When he was able to stand steadily, blood trickled down from his mouth . He raised his head and looked forward . A Taoist priest in a black robe was levitating with grace and poise . He exuded supremacy as if he were an Immortal .

"Spiritual Master Realm!" Li Ye gritted his teeth . The Taoist priest who just attacked him was in Spiritual Master Realm . With the cultivation he now possessed, when stricken by surprise by Taoist priest at level 9 of Qi-refining, he would just be interrupted for a spell . There was no way he could get hurt within only one attack .

Only a cultivator who had achieved the Spiritual Master Realm or higher could hurt him .

The one who attacked him was Wujizi from the Taoist sect of Zhongnan Mountain . He stood in the air and looked down at the enemy's formation solemnly . But when he noticed Li Ye merely had some blood in his mouth and stood up soon after retreating for hundreds of steps, his eyes expressed his astonishment .

The attack just now was no casual attack . Wujizi exerted himself in it . In his expectation, any Taoist priest at level 9 of Qi-refining who took this attack would either die or severely injured . But given Li Ye's status, it seemed it was no more than a scratch . He could not help but frown .

Wujizi, who had planned to attack the Wolf-tooth Troop to help Zhu Zhen get the upper hand, had to confront Li Ye, who was staring at him .

At the same time, the Senior and Junior Priestesses were not sitting idle . They took the vantage points from both left and right . Together with Li Ye, they were secretly surrounding Wujizi .

Yet, facing a cultivator in the Spiritual Master Realm who was powerful enough to hurt Li Ye, they didn't launch the attack imprudently . They both clearly knew that there were not many chances for them . Should their attack fail, this person in the Spiritual Master Realm's attacks would come their way .

Although the Senior and Junior Priestesses were not ordinary cultivators at level 9 of Qi-refining, they couldn't say for sure they could sustain a true attack for a person in the Spiritual Master Realm . The gap between realms was far greater than the gap between level 8 and level 9 of Qi-refining .

Li Ye, as well as the Senior and Junior Priestesses, left the battlefield successively and Shangguan Qingcheng took back the command . Zhu Zhen's troops had been seriously hurt by the three sword strikes of Li Ye . Now their morale was down and there were a lot of openings . Under the command of Shangguan Qingcheng, the three thousand cavalries in the Wolf-tooth Troop marched forward . They were unstoppable . Those enemy cavalries fell off their horses one by one . It was hard for them to organize effective counterattack or defense at short notice .

Wujizi noticed that too, and that was why he was in such a rush . He promised Zhu Wen to win this battle with Zhu Zhen . If Zhu Zhen was really defeated by Wolf-tooth Troop, it would be a shame for Wujizi .

Wujizi didn't pay attention to the Senior and Junior Priestesses on both flanks . In his eyes, although the Senior and Junior Priestesses were quite good, they were no threat to him . Only the Li Ye in front of him was able to fight against him .

Wujizi looked down at Li Ye and spoke indifferently, "Taking one of my hit as a level 9 of Qi-refining . Impressive . Who are you?"

After the question, Wujizi frowned and nodded before Li Ye could answer . "It seems that you are the Li Ye who hurt Wuyazi . In the whole world, only you can take one of my hit . "

After that, Wujizi got straight to the point, "I looked for you so hard, only to see you show up so easily . After I kill you today, the Tang Army will be bound to lose and Dengzhou will keep its dominance! Instead of hiding among the troops, you are putting yourself at risk . How hilarious! Now that you are offering your head, I'll gladly take it!"

Before he finished saying the words, Wujizi vanished from right where he stood . Powerful as the Senior and Junior Priestesses were, they couldn't see how he disappeared . The moment they looked at Li Ye, Wujizi had been already in front of Li Ye . He pushed toward Li Ye's forehead . "Farewell, Prince An!"

Wujizi came in such a sudden that Li Ye could not totally evade it . He raised his sword horizontally to fend off the push . A blast ensued and the air was heated as hot as boiled water . The clothes and hair of Li Ye and Wujizi were blown backward .

The moment they touched each other, they were separated . Li Ye slid backward for dozens of meters, his feet carving two grooves in the ground and he was barely on his feet .

Before Li Ye could stand steadily, Wujizi followed up and showed up in front of Li Ye like a ghost again . He made another push . "Let's see how many pushes you can take!"

Wujizi mustered all his power by making use of his cultivation as a person in the Spiritual Master Realm . As he moved his palm, the palm was giving out cracks of thunder, as if s.p.a.ce was torn by him .

This push might seem normal, but it was full of Spiritual Master's power . In Li Ye's eyes, other than being quick, the push was as ambiguous and imperceptible as the reflection in the water . He couldn't antic.i.p.ate where the push would land .

Facing this push, Li Ye was like being in a mire . It was hard for him to move his body and his movements were stiff as if a myriad of cobwebs came out of thin air and shackled his limps, restraining his movements . Besides, the Spiritual Qi inside him was not running smoothly . It was fading and seemed too unreal to perceive, let alone to use it .

Under such circ.u.mstance, Li Ye's perception of his surroundings was downgraded so that he could not capture Wujizi's movements . He knew his power was constrained .

As a person who had the cultivation of level 9 Qi-refining, Li Ye needed only one move to take Wuyazi's life . So however mighty the true G.o.d phase Wujizi was, Li Ye shouldn't have been suppressed this badly .

Had it been other Taoist cultivators, in a case like this, they would have been at a loss . They might deem that the power of a person in the Spiritual Master Realm was too tricky for a level 9 Qi-refining person to defeat .

However, as Li Ye had reached Spiritual Master Realm before the transmigration and now he was at the third level of Spiritual Master Realm, ordinary Taoist priest in the Spiritual Master Realm could hold a candle to him in terms of the understanding about power, let alone those at Qi-refining Stage . Li Ye was clear that, as Wujizi had just reached Spiritual Master Realm, his power should not have suppressed him like that .

This push seemed normal, but compared to the former one, it was way more powerful . If they were really both done with all his might, there should not have been such a significant difference .

Just as Li Ye was suppressed, the Senior and Junior Priestesses attacked at the same time . Several chains of leaves burst out of the soil and attacked Wujizi's weaknesses from different directions .

Enshrouding light covered the verdant chains of leaves . On the chains, Spiritual Qi was fierce and sharp, clearly no ordinary attack . Even he had the cultivation in the Spiritual Master Realm, Wujizi couldn't ignore them .

"Get lost!"

Wujizi didn't withdraw his push towards Li Ye . He slightly waved his free hand as if wiping off dust and the leaf chains disintegrated in an instant . The leaves disappeared into powders . They failed to form into flying knives and stab the enemy like they usually did .

As soon as the leaf chains disappeared, a piece of white cloth covered the sky in the form of a giant cone and fell towards Wujizi . The white cloth might seem normal, but it is actually made from a special material . Surely it is hard . Added with Spiritual Qi, it could freely change its size . Now it flew over, stirred its surrounding Spiritual Qi to form a surge and stabbed toward Wujizi's skull .

"You are asking for death!" Wujizi was riled up . He suddenly reached out his hand, grasped the white cloth and threw it away . Senior Priestess, who was manipulating the white cloth in the air felt a pain in his chest and spat out blood . His body was thrown away for hundreds of steps, just like a kite without a string .

After dealing with the attack of the Senior and Junior Priestesses, Wujizi turned around and was going to suppress Li Ye . As he turned his head, astonishment crawled onto his face and his pupil shrunk to the minimum .

Li Ye, who should have been suppressed by his field, was able to move again . The verdant Luke Sword curved elegantly towards him like a fire . In an instant, the sword was before him!

Never in Wujizi's wildest dreams had him expected this to happen . He sensed danger incoming, so grave that he had to retreat .

Even so, the Sword Qi still tore his s.h.i.+rt . After a rip stretching for 16cm appeared, a line of blood ensued . The cut was not deep but the pain was clear, which riled Wujizi up .

"Fighting with me so carelessly . Are you looking down upon me?" Li Ye stepped toward Wujizi with the sword in his hand . He was neither fast nor slow . But in Wujizi's eyes, his steps were astounding and unbelievable .

"Why can you still move? Why can you still move?" The muscles on Wujizi's face shuddered . He kept his eyes on Li Ye, attempting to see through him .

Li Ye walked toward Wujizi with steady and strong paces . "Your field is special . It can suppress people's cultivation, slow down people's limps and inhibit the application of Spiritual Qi . It is activated with no shape and no substance so it's hard to prepare for it . To be honest, this is my first time to see such a field . But as long as it is a field, it is nothing to me . "
