Hell Emperor.

Chapter 518 Ye Jie - Meeting the Enemy
Outside Qingdi City, General Jiawu had a serious look on his face.

Returning here, he had no nostalgia in his heart, only a strong sense of vigilance. With flames burning outside his red armor, he was ready for battle.

Under the leadership of Fairy Yunxiao, the Qinglian Palace organized its manpower and all the ghost fairies in the palace moved together. Not only that, many powerful fairies who had been famous for a long time were also hired by them and joined the team to attack, including several previous generals.

Fairy Yunxiao stood in the formation, with a piece of black ice that had not melted for thousands of years dotted between her brows. Her eyes were cold and her aura was commanding, symbolizing the authority of the Qinglian Palace.

Beside her, a ghost immortal holding a scripture reminded her, "Great Elder, in order to recapture Qingdi City, many ghost immortals in the hall have put down their tasks, and the prevention of the revival of the demon god has also made no progress for a while. If this continues, I am afraid that the situation will deteriorate to the point where it cannot be further deteriorated..."

Facing this reminder, Fairy Yunxiao's face turned cold and she spoke in a cold voice:
"If we don't take back Qingdi City, those villains will stir up trouble. Now is a time of trouble. Only by calming down the chaos can Qinglian Palace have the strength to deal with foreign enemies. As for the revival of the Demon God... There are many immortal sects in Beijuluzhou, and it is not just Qinglian Palace. There will always be immortals to deal with the Demon God."

Feeling the cold breath, the ghost fairy didn't dare to persuade her anymore, and the people around her praised the wisdom of Fairy Yunxiao.

In the city, Ye Jie also felt the approach of a powerful enemy, and his brows sank slightly:
"The Qinglian Palace has mobilized so many troops, they must be well prepared. If they don't achieve their goal, I'm afraid they will not give up. At this point, we can only use our strength to determine the truth."

Hearing this, everyone noticed the solemnity in Ye Jie's words, as well as the tragic atmosphere of impending storm, and even their breathing became heavier.

Hua Xiaomei's teeth chattered, still feeling a little regretful: "How could things have come to this? Obviously, everything could have been avoided..."

Ren Changhong reminded: "Now that things have come to this, even if we give up Qingdi City, I'm afraid the ghosts in Qinglian Palace will not let us go. In this case, there is only one way to choose."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Ye Jie slowly said, "You stay here, let me go meet them."

After saying that, Ye Jie walked forward slowly. When they parted, Shen Qingge's words came to his ears: "Ah Jie, you have to be careful... It is said that the Great Elder of the Qinglian Palace is extremely powerful and holds a second-grade divine weapon in his hand. He is definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with."

"I will be careful."

Arriving at the Qingdi City Gate, Tian Ming had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Ye Jie, he immediately took out a magic weapon and handed it to Ye Jie:

"Palace Master Ye, this is the Black Tortoise Wristguard I made using the leftover materials. Compared to the last time, the Black Tortoise Wristguard has been improved and can withstand stronger attacks. Although it has not reached the level of a third-grade divine weapon, ordinary immortals should not be able to break it."

Ye Jie took the magic weapon. With Tian Ming's improvement, the originally heavy basalt shield turned into a khaki wristband. After refining the wristband, he wore it on his arm. With just a thought, he could activate the power from it and release a huge basalt shield to block all attacks from the front. It can be said to be quite convenient.

After putting on the Xuanwu wristband, Ye Jie felt more confident in facing the oncoming enemy. At such a critical moment, it would be great to have an extra fourth-grade defensive magic weapon.

As Ye Jie walked out of the city, Fairy Yunxiao in the expedition team was immediately furious:

"Master Ziwei, how dare you appear before me! Qinglian Palace treated you as a distinguished guest and treated you with courtesy, yet you actually did such a thing! Not only did you betray the friendship of Qinglian Palace, but you also occupied the vital Qingdi City. Do you know what crime you should be punished for?"

Facing Fairy Yunxiao's accusations, Ye Jie looked calm:

"Along the way, I have also realized a truth, that is, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It is quite difficult to do this, rather than just talk about it, because it means becoming enemies with your former companions. I gave Qinglian Palace a chance, and I asked you to stop those wrong actions, but you were unwilling to do so, and instead tried to kill me. I have done my best, and it is you who chose this path."

"You are still talking nonsense! All the wealth in the world should belong to the Qinglian Palace, and there is nothing that cannot be done in the way of business. Haven't you heard that money makes the world go round? Be it life span or slavery, the Qinglian Palace will sell it only if someone wants to buy it. This is tolerated by the way of heaven. You are just a ghost, what qualifications do you have to say these things?" Fairy Yunxiao's eyes were cold and angry, and she scolded sharply.

"I am indeed a ghost, but my companions are not. They taught me this. I saw their persistence and rage, and I can't go on like this. Now, I am no longer a lonely ghost. I am the Lord of Yama Palace, so I naturally have to consider all living beings. Even if I have to go to war with Qinglian Palace, I will not hesitate." Ye Jie looked stern and spoke loudly.

Having said this, a hint of coldness appeared in Fairy Yunxiao's eyes. Since Ye Jie was seeking death, it was not her fault.

Fairy Yunxiao turned her gaze and then fell on the three gods beside her. Anger did not cloud her mind. Recalling the information she had heard about Ye Jie before, his strength seemed to be extraordinary. Even a powerful monster like Pan Tianqizun could not do anything to him. It seemed that he must have something to rely on.

"You go first and test his strength."

After receiving this order, the generals looked embarrassed, but after all, they had already accepted the mission and could not refuse at this moment. They immediately set out to meet Ye Jie in the distance.

"Palace Master Ye, I'm sorry."

The Jiashen God General whispered, although he was unwilling to fight with Ye Jie, he had no choice but to fulfill his mission. He spread a pair of silver wings behind him, swept the giant axe in his hand, and attacked Ye Jie directly.

Ye Jie looked indifferent. With his current level of cultivation, he did not take the strength of General Jiashen seriously. However, this battle was also a rare opportunity for Ye Jie.

"The Secret of the Dark Spirit."

As Ye Jie whispered, the purple butterfly perched on his shoulder suddenly moved, and turned into a palm-sized pocket-sized girl, who sat quietly on his shoulder, watching everything change.

That purple butterfly was the Phantom Butterfly that Li Fei'e had left for him. Under the influence of the Dark Spirit Divine Art, the Phantom Butterfly transformed into a special third-grade artifact, the Star-Moon Linglong Moth, which helped Ye Jie learn the skills of others.

The skills stolen from others are only at the entry level. Without the corresponding classics, there is no way to modify the files in the Book of Life and Death. If someone else possesses the Star-Moon Exquisite Moth, no matter how much they learn secretly, it will often be of little use, and they will only be at the entry level for the rest of their lives.

However, for Ye Jie, the situation is slightly different. He has mastered the top-level martial arts such as Bodhi Heart Method, which can improve the levels of all other martial arts. No matter which martial arts it is, as long as Ye Jie learns it, it can at least be improved to the level of Wanhua.

Ye Jie was indifferent to the battle against many immortals alone. The people of Qinglian Palace wanted to destroy him, but he took this opportunity as a hard-won opportunity to improve himself. If it weren't for this battle, there would be few immortals fighting together, not to mention seeing their various skills. Jiashen God General couldn't care less. Just standing in front of Ye Jie, he felt a heavy pressure coming. Thinking of Ye Jie's past deeds, he felt pressure in his heart. He swept the axe, but didn't even touch the corner of Ye Jie's clothes. No matter how hard he swung, he couldn't hurt Ye Jie at all.

With so many immortals watching, the pressure on Jiashen God General became heavier. After a brief collision, the suppressed immortal energy immediately burst out, and he used the unique killing move he had learned:
"Tian Gang Severing the World!"

As General Jiashen finished his words, the giant axe in his hand suddenly became extremely heavy. Every time he swung it, it seemed as if he was using up all his strength. However, this heaviness was just an illusion to confuse everyone. The speed at which he swung the two axes was actually extremely fast. Even the stagnant space was completely split into two by his axe.

"It's interesting, but it's still a little lacking in power."

Ye Jie glanced around. Now, he had experienced many battles with many immortals, so he could see at a glance the strength of General Jiashen.

Jiashen symbolizes bravery and progress, and the Tiangang Duanjie displayed by the general is the ultimate manifestation of bravery. When its power is exerted to the extreme, it is enough to split the entire Qingdi City in half with a single axe.

Unfortunately, the power of the immortal energy of Jiashen Divine General, who is only at the third level, is quite limited. He cannot gain any advantage against Ye Jie, who is currently in the late third level. Besides, his level of cultivation of Tiangang Duanjie is only at the Guizhen level. He is still far from being able to hurt Ye Jie.

The power of the Divine Dragon Transformation was stimulated, and Ye Jie's hands turned into dark green dragon claws. With a sound of metal clashing, the huge axe that had just been wielded by the Jiashen God General with great momentum was caught in Ye Jie's hand, without even a trace of dragon scale being damaged.

"How can it be……"

The giant axe suddenly stopped, and the backlash caused the Jiashen God to spit out a mouthful of blood. Even though he knew that Ye Jie was very powerful, he still did not expect that Ye Jie would take his killing move so lightly, as if he had not spent any effort at all. The invisible ease of lifting a heavy weight dealt a heavy blow to the Jiashen God.

"The dragon wiggles its tail."

There was only a muffled sound, and phantoms appeared everywhere. The figure of Jiashen God General flew backwards and went straight into the enemy formation, knocking down countless people along the way before he gradually stopped his strength.

Ye Jie withdrew his gaze. After all, General Jiashen had given him the Liuhe Treasure Mirror before, and he came here only for the mission. Ye Jie restrained his strength when he used the Dragon's Tail, and did not kill him. Otherwise, this one blow would be enough to make General Jiashen completely scared to death, and there would be no possibility of survival.

"How could the Jiashen God General be defeated so quickly? Let me meet you!"

"I'm coming too!"

The ones who said this were the two generals Ding Si and Jia Wu who were standing by. Seeing that the general Jia Shen, whose strength was almost the same as theirs, was crushed and defeated by Ye Jie, the two were shocked and felt a strong sense of crisis in their hearts.

They had long known that with their strength, they were no match for the Lord of Ziwei Palace. However, the moment they truly stood in front of Ye Jie, they realized how enormous the pressure they would have to bear was. In the face of the tremendous pressure from Ye Jie's body, they had to use 120% of their strength even if they just exerted a little energy.

"Try this move, Wuming Yin Fire!"

The Ding Si Goddess took the lead in attacking. As she raised her hand and made a gesture, a raging fire suddenly ignited under Ye Jie's feet. The fire spread upwards and completely enveloped Ye Jie's body in just a blink of an eye, turning him into a fire man.

Seeing this, the immortals watching around couldn't help but cheer loudly. Ye Jie's action of defeating Jiashen God General in an instant also made many immortals lose face. Now that they saw Dingsi God General regaining his position, they would certainly not let go of this hard-won opportunity.

"General Ding Si is indeed very powerful. With just one move, he taught the Master of Ziwei Palace a profound lesson!"

"The Yin Fire of Ignorance is a very difficult flame to deal with. Once it entangles you, it is difficult to get rid of it easily. Only the equally fierce Yang Fire can neutralize its power. If the Master of Ziwei Palace is hit by this move, even if he doesn't die, he will at least lose a layer of skin."

"In my opinion, there is no need for the rest of us to take action. General Ding Si alone is enough to capture the Lord of Ziwei Palace!"

Everyone was talking non-stop, and the noisy words reached the ears of General Ding Si, making her expression even more tense.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, although the Yin Fire was burning vigorously, Ding Si Divine General, who was the practitioner of the technique, knew clearly that all this was just on the surface. Under the cold Yin Fire, Ye Jie's body was still intact. The Yin Fire that was enough to burn the soul was nothing in his eyes.

"Yin Fire? If I'm caught off guard and get hit by this move, I'm afraid I'll suffer a great loss. Fortunately, my immortal body was baptized by the Divine Fire Pill not long ago, and I have endured the most blazing flames in the world. The Yin Fire alone can't hurt me."

Ye Jie raised his hand, and in front of everyone, he patted the flames on his body and completely extinguished the layers of Yin Fire. The enemies outside the field were dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened. The Yin Fire that seemed so powerful just now did not even achieve any effect. It was completely a case of much ado about nothing.

Unlike everyone else, Ye Jie felt the power of Yin Fire while taking the attack. With the help of the Xingyue Linglong Moth, he even learned the skills of Wuming Yin Fire. When he used it, he was even stronger than Ding Si God General.

"It's time for you to experience for yourself how powerful this move is."

Ye Jie looked calm, with a hint of confidence between his brows. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and flames ignited from under the feet of General Ding Si, which immediately scared her.

"This flame...isn't this the Yin Fire that I condensed? How could it be..."

General Ding Si screamed. She had never expected such a thing to happen. Ye Jie actually used her best moves against her. Before this, she had never heard of such power, nor did she know what kind of martial arts it was.

Before General Ding Si could think clearly, the Yin Fire had already enveloped her entire body. What horrified her was that with her control over the Yin Fire, she had no way of extinguishing the flames on her body. She could only watch helplessly as the Yin Fire engulfed her body.
