Chapter 239 Unmasking
When Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen went to the other side, they were surprised to find that their companions were besieged by a band of people from the Anye Clan!
While Lyu Liang was fighting with the cyan-robed man, all the core people of the Anye Clan had gathered there!
Anye Shenyang was not stupid. Instead, being at such a high position, he was exceptionally shrewd.
The two people accompanying him, were his disciples, Anye Lingxiao and Anye Pan, who were also among the 10 kings of the Devil Realm. However, the roles of Anye Shenyang and his disciples, at that time, was merely to find people.
He clearly knew Lyu Liang’s strength, and he could not believe that Lyu Liang had done all of these by himself!
Therefore, this time, Anye Shenyang came, not only with these two capable a.s.sistants, but had also summoned all his core disciples, except for Anye Tianhu, who was now in the h.e.l.l Organization!
To seek revenge for his son and his family, Anye Tianlong, the leader of the greatest clan in the Devil Realm, was resolute and eager to kill Lyu Liang at once!
The situation was better than what Lyu Liang had expected. At least, the battle seemed to be under his companions’ control.
Fatty, who had revealed his real appearance, was surrounded by four divine weapons of different colors. Besides this, he had shieded himself with a silver light, which provided him with a strong defense.
Over half of the enemies besieged him, because he seemed to be much easier to deal with, compared with the two formidable people from the Human Clan…
However, Fatty was quite flexible in his strategies. Once he was besieged by over five people, his figure would vanish immediately. The next second, he would reappear not far away, with the four divine weapons.
All the four divine weapons had excellent attacking capabilities. Once an enemy below the Peak of Devil Emperor approached Fatty, the divine weapons would kill them directly.
The enemies confronting Nie Qingyun were less than half of those attacking Fatty, but they were all at the Peak of Devil Emperor!
By then, he had basically given up attacking. He raised his tiger-hilted sword high, and its soft yellow light defended him against all attacks. He muttered, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are interrupting my excellent performance! You just have more people! Brother Zhu will defeat all of you in no time!”
He said that, because Zhu Yu was as incredibly formidable as he could be.
Gathering or scattering, Zhu Yu’s four doppelgangers wielded their Blood-Dripping Spears fiercely. Apart from Anye Shenyang, Anye Lingxao, and Anye Pan, there were not more than 10 people, all of whom were above the Peak of Devil Emperor. However, facing Zhu Yu, what they could only do was to defend themselves.
Zhu Yu was too powerful!
Although Anye Shenyang and his two disciples were even matches for three of Zhu Yu’s doppelgangers, all the rest of his enemies added up, could not defeat his one doppelganger.
Sometimes, some enemies seemed to match Zhu Yu, but suddenly, a pitch-black beam would shoot out of Zhu Yu’s finger and penetrate their brains directly. Then, without any resistance, they would die instantly!
The key point was that Zhu Yu’s expression showed that he was not exerting his full energy. Although his cultivation was at the Middle-stage of Tao Master, his strength was much more powerful than those at the same level!
Seeing that, Lyu Liang felt rea.s.sured. It seemed that, with the help of Liu Jiawen and himself, they would win the battle.
But just then, something unexpected happened!
A black-robed man, who held a cyan sword in his hand, suddenly appeared beside Nie Qingyun, and casually hacked at him!.
But Lyu Liang knew that it was definitely not a random hack! Instead, it suggested that the swordsmanship had reached perfection!
Nie Qingyun, who had been taking it easy, took a step back subconsciously! But still, he was a bit late. With a hard crunch, the tiger-hilted sword broke into two pieces!
Then, Nie Qingyun was thrown into the midair. He spurted out blood and closed his eyes, and seemed to have been severely wounded!
However, the black-robed man did not stop. He caught up with his sword, and wherever he pa.s.sed, the people near him, even those at the Peak of Devil Emperor, screeched and disintegrated instantly. It seemed that they had all been torn apart, by the exceptionally formidable Sword Qi!
“No!” Lyu Liang’s eyes bulged. At this critical moment, even White’s teleportation skill might fail to save Nie Qingyun.
Just when Lyu Liang was about to stimulate the teleportation skill, a cool, robust man suddenly appeared beside Nie Qingyun! The strange red machete on his hand was just in time to block the black-robed man’s second hack!
“Bang!” With a loud noise, the two of them were sent flying through the air at the same time, and they could not get to their feet, until they had flown over a distance of 30 meters!
Judging by the thick True Devil Qi on the robust man, Lyu Liang knew that he was undoubtedly a powerful figure of the Devil Clan!
“The Tianluo Clan! He is from the Tianluo Clan!” Xuanli Feiwu exclaimed in surprise.
Lyu Liang frowned slightly, but now, he did not have time to ponder. He flashed to Nie Qingyun’s side quickly, and held his unconscious disciple in his arms!
At this moment, the robust man rushed at Lyu Liang with his scarlet machete, exuding an unrivalled murderous intent. Meanwhile, Xuan sounded the alarm crazily!
“What is happening?” Lyu Liang was confused about why the helper suddenly became an opponent!
However, he had no time to consider it. He was holding Nie Qingyun in his arms and was totally hampered by his body, which left him no chance to lift his feet, let alone kicking out with them!
Lyu Liang was not someone who would await his doom. At the moment, a Soul Breaking Palm emerged and smashed into the robust man!
But then, something unexpected happened!
The robust man was able to deflect the blow! Without pausing, he rushed forward!
When Lyu Liang gritted his teeth and restimulated the Divine Mark, the robust man wielded a hack, not at Lyu Liang, but at the target behind him…
Then, a thump sounded! At the same time, behind Lyu Liang, a figure was knocked into the air. When he fell onto the ground, he threw a needle directly at Lyu Liang! Considering his murderous intent and domineering aura, Lyu Liang finally realized that Xuan’s alarm was not targetted at the robust man, but at the threat behind him!
The robust man was quick to respond. He threw out his machete at once, which then cracked against the needle!
All of these happened in a flash. The robust man, whom he thought was a killer, had saved both Nie Qingyun and him! When Lyu Liang could finally see the attacker’s appearance, he was totally startled. “Xuanli Xieyue?”
Xuanli Xieyue stretched out his hand to pinch the needle that had bounced back. Without any air of feminity about him, he had a look of hate on his face, and his aura was nearly at the Heavenly Master level!
“Xieyue! What are you doing?” Lyu Liang was outraged! His delicate companion from the Xuanli Clan had become a hidden killer! Considering such a scheming heart, Lyu Liang regarded him as a deadly foe!
Hearing that, Xuanli Xieyue gave a wry, sad smile and said, “I don’t mean to kill you. My target is the one you are holding! But it seems that you won’t give him to me.”
Lyu Liang had been feeling guilty about Nie Qingyun, his proud disciple, who was like his shadow, yet had a hint of unruliness about him.
Master though he was, he had not shown much care for Nie Qingyun, except for the Xuanyuan Swordsmanship, which was of no use for the Divine-Blade body…
After that, Nie Qingyun had been calling him “master” and worshipped him like G.o.d. Whether he would encounter dangers or not, he had stuck with Lyu Liang all the time!
Instead of feeling uncomfortable about that, Lyu Liang intended to cultivate this adorable guy.
Although he did not know why Xuanli Xieyue was hostile toward Nie Qingyun, he would definitely protect his disciple! Subconsciously, he was more willing to believe that this was a misunderstanding, or that Xuanli Xieyue was a malicious man!
“Xieyue, is there any misunderstanding?! Why are you hostile toward Qingyun? You have not shown your full cultivation, right? Qingyun has just become an Almighty Immortal! How could he have done anything to earn your hatred?” Lyu Liang tried to calm himself down, but at the same time, he stimulated his full aura and the Divine Mark, and also called out the three Spirit Swallowing Bugs.
Just then, the black-robed man came up to Xuanli Xieyue, and stared at Lyu Liang with his cyan eyes, as he said in a low voice, “Boss, and brothers, we have not met for a long time…”
While Lyu Liang was stunned, White’s figure emerged. He stared at the black-robed man with a mixed expression, and sighed slightly as he said, “So, this is your choice. You don’t need to explain anything. No matter what it turns out to be, you are always our brother! My eighth brother, nice to meet you!”
“Liang, he is our eighth brother, the sword spirit beast. He is the existence just like the Eternal Divine Weapon! Now he is with Xieyue, but you can’t be influenced by his ident.i.ty. You must exert your full strength. But even so, it is still hard to tell whether we can defeat them!” Black said seriously, with a deep resignation.
Lyu Liang was agitated, but fortunately, his well-cultivated Taoist Heart finally dragged him out of the state of the absence of his mind, and settled him down.
The unexpected appearance of the two people had caught everyone’s attention, and Xuanli Xieyue’s performance even made Zhu Yu frown subconsciously.
At this moment, Xuanli Xieyue’s countenance gradually changed to that of a comely young man, with eyes as deep as that of the ocean! With a golden glare, a graceful female figure emerged and was then linked to the young man’s hands, by a golden flow.
Then, the female put her arms around the young man’s neck. Gradually, she revealed herself as an adorable, pretty girl, where Xuanli Xieyue once had been…
“You are indeed powerful, but still, you can’t defeat me!” The young man said disdainfully, with less bashfulness and more aggressiveness. Then, he stared at Lyu Liang and said, “Indeed, I cheated you to approach you, to kill the man you are holding in your arms! I’m indeed Xuanli Xieyue, but I also have another ident.i.ty. I’m the Guardian of Gold, one of the Five-Element Guardians of the Divine Clan!”
