The moment Ye Li entered the cavern in the mountain, he saw the scene inside.
The Dragon Guards gathered here, a pool of flowing blood, and Liu Jie, the Emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty, standing there with his back to him.
"You've arrived?"
Liu Jie slowly turned around and looked at Ye Li in front of him. There was such a commotion outside just now, he wasn't deaf or blind, he could hear it.
"I am coming."
With his sword, unstained by blood, pointed at Liu Jie, Ye Li was filled with fighting spirit. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be his most crucial battle.
"You shouldn't have come."
"But I still came."
The conversation ended, but neither side immediately took action. Liu Jie looked at the Taiping Heavenly King, whom he had never seen before but was not unfamiliar with, and sighed.
"Alas, there's only one possibility for you to be here: the Prime Minister, in the end, still failed..."
"That guy, his mental resilience was too poor, his sudden death was not my fault."
Ye Li could see Liu Jie's feelings for Li Zhi. He said those words to try to anger Liu Jie, hoping to make him lose his temper.
This will reduce the difficulty of his battles.
Isn't this a bit too despicable? Ye Li said not at all.
Putting everything else aside, just considering the resentment in Li Zhi and Liu Jie, they wouldn't be unjustly killed by Ye Li even if they were killed a hundred times over.
"Prime Minister... may you have a safe journey. I will soon send your enemies down to join you."
"Your Majesty the Taiping Heavenly King, you are both lucky and unlucky to have encountered me, the Emperor of Great Power."
After a moment of silence in mourning for Li Zhi, Liu Jie's body underwent a change, and he awakened his own Daoist essence.
The true form of Yazi is that of a dragon, but also has the appearance of a jackal.
He opened his mouth, and a divine sword was taken out—this was Liu Jie's Emperor's Sword.
"Let me see what you're capable of, you traitor who's trying to overthrow my great cause."
There is still some time before the blood pool dries up and the dragon vein is completely controlled by the Imperial Seal.
He can immediately merge with the dragon vein, but the fusion effect will be slightly weaker now.
Liu Jie's plan was to stall Ye Li for time, kill him if possible, and if not, wear him down until the time was right.
Now that everyone is ready, at the same time, the two people turn into afterimages and approach each other.
"clang……"
The clash between swords is a pure contest of strength, speed, and skill.
Liu Jie's Emperor Sword was nurtured using his dragon energy as a resource, while Ye Li's sword was strengthened by those obsessions.
With all the materials being of good quality, there was no instance of weapons breaking on one side, resulting in an immediate failure.
However, after just one round, the outcome is already clear.
"call……"
The area where the confrontation just took place is now completely destroyed.
Ye Li took two steps back, looking exactly the same as before, with steady breathing and in good condition.
Liu Jie took five steps back, his right hand holding the sword trembling slightly, his eyes wide with an incredulous expression.
"Your power is actually above mine? How is that possible? Why is this happening?"
Ye Li maintained his human form, which didn't surprise Liu Jie too much. Perhaps this was some kind of Dao that no one knew, and it just happened to be human form.
However, in terms of strength, only by going further and further on one's own path can one's power become stronger.
The Way of the Emperor, almost the strongest Way in the entire world, is the result of his decades of dedicated cultivation.
How could he lose to a young boy in terms of strength?
"You wouldn't understand this. I'm not fighting alone. Behind me are millions of people who are hoping for my triumphant return."
"Don't waste my time on such empty talk. Let's continue our battle."
Liu Jie didn't believe a single word Ye Li said. He was joking; even the most powerful, idealistic outbursts of energy have their limits, right?
"Sigh, I've always told the truth, but none of you are willing to believe me."
"clang……"
The two weapons clashed once again, sparks flying at the point of contact. Even with Liu Jie gaining the upper hand this time, the two forces were only barely evenly matched.
He made Ye Li take three steps back, but that was all he could do; he couldn't gain even a little more advantage.
"Sizzle..."
