Chapter 1216: 1216
Li Yao was still running forward when he saw swords raining down from above, cutting his escape route right then and there .

Vast pressure swept all over, and Li Yao turned around abruptly throwing out his hand toward Ye Futian, who was charging at him . His arm was transformed into an extremely saintly five-clawed dragon that charged abruptly at Ye Futian .
It was apparent that Li Yao did not want to roll over and die . He, too, was a saint . While his powers were inferior to those of Ye Futian, he deemed it necessary to fight, nonetheless .
However, his face appeared rather twisted at that moment, displaying an expression of anger amid despair .
That look in his eyes suggested that he wanted to battle Ye Futian .
The Halberd of Time and Space was thrust out like a bolt of lightning . Rumbling noises were heard as the huge, five-clawed, golden dragon exploded and crumbled . Ye Futian did not stop charging . He continued streaking through the air and appeared right before Li Yao .
The place seemed to have frozen when the Halberd struck . Li Yao roared in anger, and the space around them trembled . He stepped forward as an extremely dazzling specter appeared above him . It did not seem to be something of his own will . Rather, it seemed to be an Imposing Renhuang shooting right out of his brain .
Ye Futian sensed looming danger ahead .
The raging will lashed out right away . He had sensed the Imposing Renhuang’s shadow . While it was a construct of spiritual willpower, the hurricane of rage still sent him flying . That spiritual willpower then charged right into his mind .
That will was incredibly grand and imposing . It was a true Will of Renhuang, wiping out the existence of all other wills .
Boom! Ye Futian suffered a huge blow to his mind, and his body was sent flying, again, and crashed to the ground . Blood spilled from his mouth, and he felt rather hazy .
Li Yao’s expression was extremely gloomy as he looked at Ye Futian .
The will that his father left within him enabled him to invoke this power when he was in mortal peril . It was known simply as the Will of Renhuang . He had little idea how powerful it would be, but, upon seeing the scene before him, Li Yao no longer despaired and seemed to find the light of hope . His eyes were filled with a negative, violent aura as he headed towards Ye Futian .
“Dead?”
If his father’s will had crushed Ye Futian’s will, it would have been possible for him to kill Ye Futian on the spot .
Seeing Ye Futian on the ground not budging even an inch, Li Yao’s face became ferocious with a cruel smirk in his eyes .
He had always wanted to kill Ye Futian—the ant from the Nine States of the Lower Worlds who had been growing into an increasingly greater threat to him .
“So he’s dead now, eh? And to die in such a way, how dramatic indeed . ”
Raging aura was unleashed from his body as he extended his hand . A terrifying, five-clawed, golden dragon appeared right above Ye Futian’s head .

While Ye Futian remained slumped where he was, Li Yao nonetheless wanted to kill him one more time .
“Die . ” Li Yao roared, and the five-clawed, golden dragon came down blasting Ye Futian’s body . The ground exploded and dust flew everywhere .
Li Yao walked up, taking one step at a time and finally smiled, which made him look rather crazy .
However, that simply lasted for an instant . His smile froze as a figure rose from the flying dust around them .
Jade-green light emanated from Ye Futian’s body; it was a manifestation of the power of life, and it was tremendously thick .
He opened his eyes, and they looked deep like a bottomless abyss . It left Li Yao, who had been smiling, with a gaping jaw . Li Yao then saw Ye Futian stand up .
“How could he possibly survive?”
There was blood at the corner of Ye Futian’s mouth, and he looked rather pale . The Will of Renhuang had almost killed him . If it had not been for the imperial will protecting him, he would already be dead .
Li Yao was not the most highly regarded of Emperor Li’s offspring and was the weakest among his siblings in training . However, he, nonetheless, had protection provided by Emperor Li .
“Pathetic . ”
That was the word that Ye Futian uttered plainly as he looked at Li Yao’s ferocious-looking eyes . Thunderous Light of the Great Path seemed to be glimmering on his body; it was a manifestation of the Great Path, basking in the Light of Calamity .
When he became a saint, the resilience of his constitution made his body a true body of a saint . Saintly attacks of the same level were hardly capable of doing any harm to his body .
“Pathetic . ”
Li Yao felt a chill all over as he heard Ye Futian’s sarcastic jab at him . He was a prince of the Dali Dynasty, and Ye Futian called him “pathetic . ”
“Pathetic, eh?”
“Indeed I am . ”
The way that Ye Futian looked at him now was just like the way he had looked at Ye Futian before striking him down .
Boom! Light of Calamity bombarded Li Yao’s body like a thunderous disaster of the Great Path . His soul trembled as his body was paralyzed .

However, he did not run away . He would not be able to escape this person even if he wanted to . He was indeed pathetic .
The only thing that seemed to be waiting for him was death .
A shout came from afar, and Ye Futian turned his head to look in that direction . Yan Yuan was conjuring diagrams of the Great Path and had blood all over his body . Yaya and Ji Yuan attacked at the same time, and there was no way that Yan Yuan, who had been severely injured before, could have resisted their attack . Yaya had once been a Holiness of Nirvana .
Yan Yuan turned around at that moment and looked at Ye Futian whose eyes seemed rather dull .
Sword Wills whooshed around Ye Futian, and the Sword of Kasyapa penetrated Li Yao’s body in an instant . Blood spilled all over him and Sword Wills raged throughout his body . Blood was still spilling from his mouth, and he struggled to stand .
However, he did not die .
He looked up at Ye Futian and said, “Give me a quick one . ”
He thought that Ye Futian was about to torture him and make things hellish for him while he was still alive .
Boom! A hand clapped down and lifted Li Yao . Ye Futian’s eyes reddened from the incredible intent to kill he felt .
“I wanted to give you a quick one, as well . ” Ye Futian’s voice croaked as if he was struggling to speak .
Li Yao had killed Ye Futian’s wife back in the Empty Realm, and he had almost killed Ye Futian’s kin as well . There was no way that Ye Futian did not hate Li Yao .
He wanted nothing more than to see Li Yao’s heart pierced by thousands of swords .
However, when he saw the determination in Yan Yuan’s eyes and the implications of the fight between the Eight Holinesses of Nirvana, he refrained from dealing the killing blow .
If Li Yao died, it would be extremely possible that a war would break out between the Dali Dynasty and Emperor Xia’s Realm .
Then Ye Futian questioned if he would be able to shoulder the responsibility of a war breaking out between those two imperial realms .
He questioned his right to do so .
That was why he was struggling .
Boom! A hand lifted Li Yao’s body and Ye Futian walked away, heading to the other battlefield .

Lu Chuan, who saw Ye Futian still grabbing Li Yao from afar, chased after him . Many who had been fighting around them stopped .
The space quieted down again .
Ye Futian headed straight for the battlefield where Yan Yuan was and called, “Yaya . ”
Yaya and the others turned around when they heard his voice . The swords were rescinded, and she came to Ye Futian’s side . Ji Yuan stopped fighting, as well .
Yan Yuan then looked at Ye Futian . Despite being covered in blood, he still looked resilient, standing tall and proud .
A smile suddenly appeared on his face but a sad one .
“I didn’t think we would actually lose to you,” Yan Yuan said . His expression was an extremely complicated one, filled with emotions that he was unable to place .
He did not resent Ye Futian although they were on opposing sides .
Naturally, he still admired Ye Futian .
That day when they had parted at the Nine States, those words had come true .
Yan Yuan knew that he had prepared for this battle, yet Ye Futian still ended up taking down Li Yao .
“There are no winners or losers here,” Ye Futian sighed and continued, “Let’s head to Qianye City . ”
Yaya waved her hands about and then a sword appeared in the air . Several of them stepped onto it, and the sword streaked away .
Lu Chuan walked to Yan Yuan’s side, and Yan Yuan then mumbled, “No wonder our teacher liked him so much . ”
“He might not kill the prince, brother,” Lu Chuan said . Yan Yuan turned to look at him as he continued, “He was here to avenge his wife . If he was going to cut down the prince, he would have done it already . ”
Yan Yuan looked at Ye Futian disappearing in the distance and said, “Let’s go . ”
He then stepped forward .
Lu Chuan stood at Yan Yuan’s side and looked at his eldest brother while sighing deeply .
Li Yao was lost in his eldest brother’s hands .
If Ye Futian were to kill Li Yao, blame would first fall onto Yan Yuan’s shoulders . However, Lu Chuan thought, at the moment, that his eldest brother was, instead, more concerned for their teacher .
The battle was still raging in Qianye City, and the place looked like a mess .
The mighty ones were fighting close to each other .
The Swordmaster of Lihen had injured Cao Kong before, yet Cao Kong’s demonic powers were overwhelming . He was extremely resilient, refusing to back away . He went all the way to the battlefield where the imperial advisor of Dali and the Great Shaman were fighting .
The Prince Regent managed to fight off Lu You and pushed the battle all the way to the central region of Qianye City .
The six figures at the Holiness of Nirvana level were fighting earth-shattering battles high in the air . Many throughout Qianye City looked up at the battles, their hearts racing .
Many saints perished on that battlefield .
The imperial advisor had no intention of fighting any longer when Yaya, who had returned, opened the ancient path of the sword with a single stroke then headed far away . She definitely had gone to Li City . The imperial advisor had no idea how Yan Yuan would have fared and if his student would have been able to block her attack .
“Li Yao has been taken . Stop fighting immediately,” a voice came from nowhere . The mighty ones who had been fighting were, at first, dumbfounded and then turned to see who had spoken . It was none other than a demonic beast .
“My master has taken Li Yao and is heading back here,” the Black Wind Condor continued saying . The imperial advisor shouted and, throughout the battlefield, countless soldiers felt their brains rattling .
There were mighty ones throughout the vast battlefield, but they were unable to help and backed away from each other . That shout had made them all cease fighting .
The imperial advisor scanned the battlefield . He had not wanted to see a fight happen, but he had no choice .
“So Ye Futian has taken Li Yao, eh?”
“Yan Yuan had been there to guard him . I wonder how he is doing now . ”
