Chapter 108 Killing intention from the Tao Master
The voice of the giant man pulled the thoughts of the people back to the arena, and then there was a round of applause and cheers. After this battle, Lyu Liang had made his name for himself in the Pangu Origin world.
Yes, this time, someone actually won when fighting against those higher-staged cultivators. But for a person who had not survived the ordeal, to defeat someone who had survived the ordeal, was something rare! Promotion to the Fairy Immortal was a qualitative leap in the law of cultivation.
Although there seemed to be only a stage difference between the Peak of the Void Return and the Early-stage of Fairy Immortal, that difference was bigger than any difference in stage below the Fairy Immortal! Lyu Liang’s Devil Immortal Qi, with the combination of the ‘Human-Beast Unite’, plus his accomplished Field Domain of Sword Tao, gave him the qualification to fight with a Fairy Immortal even if he did not trigger the Ghost Devil Head.
Of course, Fatty’s contribution did not go unnoticed, and Fatty was making vigorous efforts to turn the situation around! If it had not eaten the lotus magic treasure, Lyu Liang might have to trigger the Ghost Devil Head.
In that case, even if he won, his Devil Immortal Qi would be significantly reduced, and his ace card would be exposed in advance. Now, he needed to use some Primordial Stones to supplement the Qi, and he would recover from it soon.
At this point, Fatty had returned to Lyu Liang’s body and went straight below the Karma Streamer to sleep. While it was snoring, a faint joyful mumbling could be heard.
“Judges, milord!” “He, he violated the rules!” “He instructed the demon beast to eat the opponent’s magic treasure!” “That is considered as getting help!” Ximen Qiuye’s panicky voice could be heard and it attracted the attention of everyone, who looked at him in contempt.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ximen Qiuye regained some of his confidence. Just when he wanted to continue, the giant man who was on the stage shouted, “Demon beast?” “Are you blind?” “How could that be a demon beast, that was obviously my…”
“I have mentioned before about the rules, no means are limited, and no death will be pitied!” “The spirit beast came out from the little friend and then returned to him. Apparently, the beast belonged to him. Thus, it is considered as a means to defend the enemy.” “Are you questioning the results of our judgment?” Zhu Yan shouted to cover the roar of the giant man, and he also gave him a “keep quiet” look.
The White Tiger Saint Emperor who was sitting at the side, also nodded and said, for the first time, “There is no problem with the judging results. If you have a possessive spirit beast in your hands, use it.”
Ximen Qiuye was dumbfounded. The three judges simultaneously expressed their support for Lyu Liang. He immediately kept quiet and lowered his head, but deep in his mind, he hated Lyu Liang. “I shall let you stay rampant for a while longer, and I will let the Wushang Ancestor call the shots. By then, I shall see if you can live or not!”
Lyu Liang won the first game of the second round, and the remaining battles retained the usual peace. The audience who had seen the violent battle, hissed at the remaining battles that seemed so mild.
After two hours, all the games in the second round of combat were over. Lyu Liang’s fight had taken up more than half of the time. Following that was the third round, that was, the quarter-final.
Everyone re-drew again. Coincidentally, Lyu Liang was again the first one, and even more coincidentally, his opponent was again a candidate from the Western-Heaven District. However, the candidate’s cultivation was back to the normal, Peak of Void Return.
On top of the arena, Lyu Liang looked at his opponent who was sweating profusely, and he even teased, “How do you plan to attack?” “Are you going to learn from your teammate and blow yourself up?”
The man on the opposite team smiled bitterly and shouted directly. “I surrender!” Then, lowering his head, he ran down the platform and disappeared instantly. Lyu Liang laughed loudly, and based on Zhu Yan’s judgement, he walked to the field with the att.i.tude of a winner.
For this game, without any fighting taking place, the off-court audience was very understanding. After all, Lyu Liang’s strength was now known and if someone knew that he could not win, yet still persisted in fighting, that was just crazy!
The third round of the games also ended in an hour. Then, Jing Xu Ancestors went to the three judges and seemed to be discussing something.
A moment later, Zhu Yan got up and announced that the final game of the four would continue the next morning, and today’s contest would end here.
Although the contest had come to an end, the excitement outside the arena had just begun. The city nearby, which was always bustling with people, now had a lot of people who were inquiring about Lyu Liang’s ident.i.ty. However, Lyu Liang had left little or no traces in the Pangu Origin world. He was like a genius that came from nowhere, and nothing could be found before that.
But one really to marvel about those who rely on selling intelligence for a living. Some people managed to find out that Lyu Liang had appeared in the Zi Tong Sect in Northern Heaven District, and had gone to the Primitive Sword Grave before. But that was about all. As for his other deeds, no one knew anything.
…
Lyu Liang’s splendid ability had already attracted the attention of some forces, including both the good and bad.
In the Holy-Fist Palace of Central Heaven District, inside the cave residence of Supreme Tao Master, a crystal ball revealed the malicious expression of Ximen Qiuye, “Ancestor, we can’t let that kid run wild any longer!” “He is too strong, and my people can no longer restrain him.” “Ancestor, if you don’t make your move now, you will not be able to get the Phoenix Cloth Fairy!”
Supreme Tao Master frowned and said, “You have already said this clearly in the previous Voice-Messaging Talisman, why bother to contact me again at the risk of being discovered by others.”
Ximen Qiuye continued to speak. “Ancestor!” “I feel so anxious!” “Even if you can’t do it yourself, you must find a high-level cultivator to deal with him. This guy has an ace card that has yet to be shown!” “You can’t fail in the least…”
“Shut up!” “I am not going to be judged by a junior, get out!” “I have already thought about how to deal with this. Even if he won the championship,” sooner or later, the only ending he will face is death!” Supreme Tao Master seemed to be bit angry, and did something rare. He started yelling at Ximen Qiuye.
Ximen Qiuye shivered, due to fear. He hurriedly nodded his head and expressed his loyalty, and then broke off the contact.
At this time, Supreme Tao Master sneered and muttered to himself, “So what if you surpa.s.sed a Fairy Immortal, as long as I keep an eye on Phoenix Cloth Fairy, I have nothing to worry about your escape.” “Even if I don’t do anything, you will still die without a proper burial place!”
…
At the same time, in a residential building in the Central Heaven District, Fatty Zhong who had been missing for a while, looked very serious, which was rare for him. There was also a crystal ball in front of him and the figure reflected on the ball was a grey-robed white-bearded elderly.
“Master, Lyu Liang and Ximen are now enemies, I am worried about the Holy-Fist Palace…”
“Well, you are right. Supreme seemed to be unable to hold back.” “Lyu Liang, this stinky boy, I thought he would stay low-key for a while, yet, he made such a commotion.”
“Master, if he can’t escape this ordeal, where should we go?” “Shui Ye seems to be in a wait-and-see state. Can I let him help out?”
“Let Shui Ye go to the boy and tell him the story, so at least he know who he is up against.” “Don’t worry about other things for the time being, if he really can’t get through this ordeal, then I have misjudged him.”
…
Inside the resting area in Kunlun Sect, Lyu Liang was examining Fatty with immense interest.
Fatty was still asleep, but its original flaming body now exuded some faint golden light. Inside Lyu Liang’s body, there were traces of black gas that were constantly pouring into Fatty.
“Liang, this guy seems to be absorbing the sin of your body, it is incredible.” Black was also amazed at how Fatty was not taking the usual way in cultivation.
“Yeah, we got a treasure.” “Its sleep seems to be much deeper than before, and I don’t know when it will wake up.” “Eh?” “Who is there?” Lyu Liang, who was thinking, suddenly raised his head and roared at his door.
At the same time, a black-robed man pushed open the door silently. His whole body was tightly wrapped, and he seemed to have the ability to isolate the Divine Sense. Lyu Liang could neither see his face nor detect his cultivation.
“Taoism peer, relax, I mean no harm.” “Instead, I am here to give you some important news that may be related to your life.” The black man’s voice was unfamiliar and monotonous.
Although Lyu Liang was on the alert, he was not too worried because there was a prohibition of fighting inside of the room, and the other showed no intention of killing as well.
“Ximen clan is just a lackey raised by the Holy-Fist Palace in the Central Heaven District. It is the Supreme Tao Master of the two Tao Masters, who is eyeing Phoenix Cloth Fairy.” “This person had a good reputation of benevolence, but he is also secretly doing the shameless act of s.e.xual Intercourse of Absorption.” “Only a few people know about these things, and you need to keep it to yourself.” “Don’t think about saying anything outside. The prestige of these people is not something that you can comment on, as a junior.” “If you can’t keep this a secret, you will probably be killed.” The black-robed man did not stand on ceremony. He plopped down on a chair and even took a cup of tea from the table and drank it.
Lyu Liang also sat down, but he clenched his fists and whispered, “Thank you for solving my doubts. No wonder someone has told me to take note of things outside Ximen clan, maybe that’s why!” “However, may I be rude enough to ask if you are from the Central Heaven District too?”
The tone of the black-robed man turned cheerful and he laughed, “You are half right, and I can honestly say that your behavior has attracted the attention of powerful figures. If you can escape this ordeal, you will encounter big opportunities in the future.” “As for my origins, you will know when the time is right.” “My Junior Brother has always been very optimistic about you. Although I am here by order of Master, I would also like to pa.s.s you a gift from my Junior Brother, and I hope it will be useful for you.”
After the black-robed man finished talking, he did not wait for Lyu Liang to answer and threw him a wooden box. He then got up and walked to the door. Before leaving, he said, “The enemies on the bright side are not scary. It doesn’t matter if they only target their enemies. What really poses as a threat to you is often the unexpected factors that cannot be controlled.” “The most powerful thing about Supreme Tao Master is not his cultivation, but his tricks.” “You really shouldn’t have joined this mess. You don’t have the capital to fight with him yet.” “Remember, be careful and protect yourself!”
When Lyu Liang heard the words, he nodded solemnly and made another bow to the black-robed man.
Later, Lyu Liang opened the wooden box and was surprised. Black appeared in a timely manner, and said joyfully, “Hey, your luck is excellent, it seems that someone is thinking about you!”
Inside the wooden box was a piece of wood, but this wood had a star-like skin and its overall color was black and gray. It was the Mysterious Meteorite Wood in the Five-element Secret Treasure!
There was also a note in the wooden box with only one sentence: “Please forgive my rudeness in the past. This is a little gift to show my appreciation and I hope it can help you, Taoism peer.”
Lyu Liang examined the message, which was more like an apology, but he could not remember who gave him this. Anyway, the black-robed man said that he would know everything at the right time. As a matter of urgency, he needed to plan how to avoid Supreme Tao Master, whom he was not able to fight against.
