Hell Emperor.

Chapter 481 Li Fei'e - Defeat the Enemy
"Nine hundred and seventy-two, nine hundred and seventy-three..."

In the shaky room, a one-eyed man with a face full of flesh held a cloth bag that exuded sandalwood in one hand, and with the other hand he kept putting crystal clear, brightly colored spirit stones into the bag, counting all the time.

The strange thing is that despite being filled with nearly a thousand spirit stones, the cloth bag showed no signs of swelling, and its surface was still full of dry wrinkles.

"It's almost there... I only need the last twenty pieces. Then I will have a thousand high-quality spirit stones, which will be enough to buy a ticket to the paradise from the Qinglian Chamber of Commerce, and live happily ever after."

When the one-eyed man thought of the beauty of that place, he couldn't stop being excited and wished he could collect the last few spirit stones right now.

Soon, the report from his subordinates made the man happy.

"Your Majesty, there is a spiritual boat approaching a hundred miles away. Judging from the flag hanging on the spiritual boat, it should belong to the small sect Tianji Sect on the border."

The man stood up and clenched his fist, saying, "Tianji Sect? What kind of low-ranking sect is that? They dared to sail the spirit boat into my territory, it seems that they are preparing for bad luck. Even if the sect is small, if you want to control the spirit boat, you need high-quality spirit stones to drive it. Let's make up for the last spirit stone from them."

The man walked out of the dark room and onto the upper deck. His eyes seemed to penetrate dozens of miles and fell on the fast-moving spiritual boat:
"With just the last twenty high-quality spirit stones, I can achieve my lifelong wish. After I finish this job, I will be able to enjoy eternal bliss."

The man closed his eyes slightly and recalled the news about Tianji Sect in his mind. It seemed to be a sect that was good at mechanical devices and hidden weapons. Apart from that, there was nothing worth noting. He felt relieved at the moment.

Those who dare to drive the spirit boat and penetrate deep into his territory without disguise are like sheep walking into the mouth of a tiger. The only outcome that awaits them is to be plundered.

"Deploy the magic circle and prepare for battle. We will charge at them and snatch all their spirit stones!"

Following the man's shout, his men received orders and prepared for battle. As the magic circle began to operate, his spirit boat began to accelerate continuously and was about to charge forward.

On the Tianji, Ye Jie, who was checking the eight-sided stitched pages, suddenly felt alert. He immediately put down the torn pages in his hand and flashed to the upper deck.

Xie Xinyu stood there, looking down at the scenery below with a curious look on her face. When she saw Ye Jie coming, she asked, "What's wrong? You look a little anxious."

"Be careful, enemies are coming!"

Ye Jie's pupils darkened and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would be attacked just a short while after setting out. Could it be that the enemy had an ambush?
"Are you planning on crashing into us? Ride the dragon and fly into the sky."

As the skills were put into operation, the surrounding air currents were controlled by Ye Jie's command. The spirit boat that was rapidly approaching from afar was suddenly blocked by a strong air wave and its speed was immediately slowed down. The people on the spirit boat were not careful for a moment, and many of them were directly thrown far away by inertia.

Seeing this, Xie Xinyu did not dare to delay and hurriedly informed everyone who was resting inside the spirit boat of the news.

Coming to the upper deck, Hua Xiaomei also saw the strange spiritual boat attacking from afar and was slightly surprised: "Who dares to attack us? Don't they know that we are all immortals?"

Ren Changhong shook his head and made an accurate judgment: "Looking at their posture, they should be demon fairies who specialize in robbing people on the road. So what if they are fairies? They are robbing fairies. They don't even look at the spirit boats of ordinary mortals."

"Let me try!" Li Fei'e rubbed his hands and said impatiently.

Ever since he got the Kuipei War Drum, Li Fei'e has not tried out the power of this magical weapon. Now that he saw the demon practicing robbery, he was eager to try it out.

Li Fei'e stood right in front of the Tianji and beat the war drum fiercely. The leaping electric arcs were strengthened by the Kui skin, showing explosive power. Every strike could create layers of sound waves. Dark clouds responded and blazing lightning struck down, like a silver sword descending from the sky, ready to smash the demon cultivator's spirit boat to pieces.

"Try this move, five thunderbolts on your head!"

But soon, something unexpected happened to Li Fei'e. A white barrier suddenly appeared outside the spirit boat and absorbed all the lightning that struck down. After being strengthened by the war drum, the powerful lightning failed to cause any damage. For a while, there was only thunder but no rain.

Seeing this scene, the one-eyed demon cultivator on the spirit boat laughed loudly:
"Tianji Sect? I've known for a long time that it's an inferior sect, but I didn't expect it to be so weak that it can't even break the protective formation. Hand over all your valuables obediently, and maybe you can avoid death!"

"you!"

Hearing the enemy's shouting, Li Fei'e's eyes widened, his chest heaving, obviously very angry.

"You asked for it, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"

Li Fei'e struck the drum again with the same force, but this time, the sound coming from the drumhead was no longer a low muffled sound, but a sharp and piercing explosion. Even the space around the drumhead seemed to be distorted by her beating.

Above the zenith, extremely fierce lightning showed its edge. A silver dragon shuttled back and forth among the clouds, bringing with it the heart-pounding crackling sound of electric arcs, and finally swooped down towards the demon cultivator's spirit boat.

"This……"

The divine thunder fell, and the one-eyed man was horrified. Wasn't it said that the Tianji Sect was best at mechanical techniques? What was going on with this thunder technique that shook the heavens and the earth and was unrivaled in its power?

This is not ordinary thunder, but extreme lightning from the depths of the nine heavens. Once it falls, the entire spirit boat will be split into two parts. At that time, let alone robbing, the loss will be disastrous.

"Damn it, don't think you're so great just because you learned a magic trick. Come and have a taste of my power!"

The one-eyed man leaped out and faced the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that was striking down from the sky alone. He also activated his most proud immortal technique: "Indestructible Black Armor!"

As the man finished his words, his body began to change differently. A vast amount of immortal energy rose into the sky, and a dark green mysterious light enveloped his body. Looking closely, his entire body was wrapped in a hard shell, and the surface of the shell had undulating hills.

The divine thunder struck the outer shell, causing a loud bang and a violent air wave to spread out. The man was hit back into his own spirit boat by the divine thunder, creating a big hole in it.

After getting up, the one-eyed man was sweating profusely. He thought this would be an easy job, but the strength of that group of people was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that there was such a strong man hidden in the unknown Tianji Sect.

But fortunately, he finally held on, relying on his indestructible black armor to dissolve the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. Otherwise, the entire spirit boat would have been destroyed.

"Wait... Nine Heavens Divine Thunder? Isn't that the Xuannv Sect's skill? How could it be..."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the man's mind, followed by deep shock, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This time, it seemed that he had offended someone he could not afford to offend.

"Was it blocked?" On the Tianji, Li Fei'e puffed her lips, looking unwilling. Even with the blessing of the Kuipi War Drum, her Nine Heavens Divine Thunder still failed to defeat the enemy.

Shen Qingge looked calm and commented, "E'er, don't be discouraged. The other party is at the fourth level and has practiced for dozens of times more than you. It's normal that you didn't hurt him. You've done a good job in making him feel threatened."

After receiving the praise from his master, Li Fei'e's complexion improved a lot, but he was still a little discouraged.

Seeing this, Ye Jie patted her head, then took out eight stitched pages from his arms. As he thought about it, the words on the stitched pages appeared.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[Ye Jie spent 150 million Yin De to modify Li Fei'e's martial arts file. ]

[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder (Wanhua) has been changed to Nine Heavens Divine Thunder (Taixu). 】

As the words on the stitched page fell, Li Fei'e felt his whole body shudder, silver-white electric light flashed in his crystal clear eyes, and many unprecedented insights emerged in his mind.

"How is it? Are you sure you can defeat him now?" Ye Jie said with a smile.

Li Fei'e raised her head, feeling the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder at the Taixu level, and a strong sense of confidence surged in her heart. With such a magical skill, what enemy could she not defeat? She looked at Ye Jie, and a different look surged in the depths of her pupils:
"I'm sure, but I still need some help."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and made a powerful move towards Ye Jie: "Netherworld Divine Art!"

A familiar pulling force came over. After understanding what Li Fei'e meant, Ye Jie smiled and moved accordingly. The light pulled him and then condensed into a pair of pitch-black gloves on Li Fei'e's hands.

The gloves were woven from silk, with a deep luster, as if the night was condensed, tightly wrapping each knuckle. The surface was emitting a mysterious light, like a constantly running electric current, revealing a deadly and dangerous aura.

After transforming Ye Jie into a magical weapon of the underworld, Li Fei'e felt more confident. He beat the Kuipi war drum again, and thunderclouds rolled across the sky again.

This time, nothing could stop the divine thunder that came with divine power. It blasted through the enemy's defensive skills with a devastating force, and even the enemy's entire spirit boat was split in two.

"No, my belongings..."

Under the bombardment of the divine thunder, the one-eyed man fell from the sky to the ground. His face was charred black, and there was not a single piece of healthy skin on his body. His body was severely injured, and he was only breathing his last breath. He raised his head tremblingly, watching the spirit boat falling, and an indelible regret welled up in his heart.

If he had known that he would encounter an invincible enemy, he would never have chosen to take action at this time. But it was too late to say anything now. At this point, it was even a question whether he could save his life.

Seeing Li Fei'e flying towards him with a sword, he knew he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, so he quickly took out a cloth bag from his arms and begged for mercy:
"Descendant of Xuannv, I was blind this time. The money in the Qiankun bag was the money I had intended to use to buy a ticket to the paradise. I beg you to accept these one thousand high-quality spirit stones and let me live..."

Li Fei'e took a deep breath and felt a little embarrassed. He had to look inquiringly at his master and others on the Tianji behind him, wanting to hear their suggestions.

In response, Shen Qingge simply said: "As long as we haven't returned to Xuannv Sect, your training has not yet ended. You decide for yourself."

Li Fei'e fell into deep thought. If she had just started her training, she might not know how to make a decision, but after going through all the things she had experienced before, she had already grown up:

"If you had not met us but had met a weaker immortal, I'm afraid they would not have escaped our clutches. If we let you go now, you will still hurt others. In this case, prepare to die!"

Li Fei'e raised the Purple Lightning and Green Frost Sword and was about to kill the one-eyed man with the force of thunder, but Ye Jie suddenly returned to his original form from the Nether Spirit Magical Treasure and stopped her.

Li Fei'e was somewhat puzzled and asked in confusion: "Brother Jie, why are you trying to stop me? Are you going to let him go?"

Ye Jie smiled and said, "No, let me do it. It's a good deed after all, so don't waste it."

As he spoke, Ye Jie dodged and moved, using his left leg as the axis, swinging his body violently, concentrating all his strength on one point, and swung his right leg out with a loud bang like breaking through the air, completely crushing the man's body, and ending his life completely with a dragon's tail swing.

Shura's power was activated, and new words appeared on the eight stitched pages:
[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[Ye Jie gained 17 million Yin De. ]

After defeating the enemy, Ye Jie bent down and picked up the Qiankun bag on the ground. After checking it, he saw that it was indeed filled with spirit stones, which was a huge sum of money.

"If one thousand high-grade spirit stones are converted into Yin De, that would be 100 million Yin De. Given the current scarcity of spirit stones, this amount of Yin De could be even higher... With these high-grade spirit stones, we don't have to worry about the Tianji losing power."

The spirit boat needs the power of spirit stones to be driven. When setting out, the Tianji Sect pieced together a total of 50 high-quality spirit stones as the source of power for the Tianji to sail to the Nether Spirit Palace. If they take a detour and use up the spirit stones, they will have to find a way to replenish them.

What Ye Jie cared more about than the spirit stone was another piece of news that the one-eyed man mentioned before his death.

After a short rest and searching for other scraps of spoils from the enemy's broken spirit boat, the Tianji set off again.

Ye Jie stood on the upper deck, his heart shrouded in doubt, and he couldn't help asking: "The Paradise? Have you heard of it? What exactly is that place?"

Everyone looked confused and no one had an answer for a while. It was Yao Yin who answered:
"I have heard about that place in some books. It is said that it is a place beyond reincarnation. All souls who go there will be freed from reincarnation and will no longer need to reincarnate. Instead, they can enjoy eternal happiness."

Ye Jie was a little surprised: "No need to enter reincarnation again? Then how can I gain Yin De? I can't plunder other souls like Shura, right?"

Yao Yin shook her head: "There, Yin De is useless. We are always immersed in happiness and joy anyway, so why should we care about Yin De?"

Hua Xiaomei was a little confused and said, "But how can one be happy without good deeds? Isn't the source of happiness for ghosts to see the number of good deeds continue to grow?"

Yao Yin pondered and said, "I have only heard about the situation there by chance. As for the exact situation, I have no idea."

Ye Jie waved his hand, put the matter aside, and continued on his way.
