Chapter 54 The Martial Arts Contest (4)
Subsequently, the teams lined up to enter the interior of the sword pavilion. When each team entered, a number plate would appear on the top of the head of each one. The number of Lyu Liang’s team was ‘fourteen’.
Thirty-two teams, with eight teams each forming a square, stood in the vicinity of the ring. Above the arena, Dongfang Badao continued to announce, “The draw ceremony will be held immediately, and the two teams whose numbers are called will come to the stage. From the beginning of the qualification contest, each battle will be carried out in a closed formation that prevents divine sense inspection. This means that you do not need to hide your skills and play it out!”
After finishing his words, Dongfang Badao disappeared, and then two disciples of the villa went to the ring. One of them raised his hand, and a red light door appeared on the platform. Another person took out a large bucket and stretched his hand inward. Then he grabbed two cards and read out loudly: “No. 14 and 21! Go on stage!”
When Lyu Liang and the others heard the words, they went on stage. From the opposite direction, the 21st team also came, it was the Blood Divine Sect team! Seeing them, Lyu Liang could no longer conceal the killing intent in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were even slightly bent. There was fighting intent in his heart, which constantly hit him. “Wait a minute, it’s too fast!”
…
At this time, in the main hall of Wanshou Mountain Villa, Dongfang Badao and the others were still staring at the participating teams with a serious expression. For a long time, Dongfang Badao turned to a middle-aged man with a bear head embroidered on his chest and said, “Jin’er, remember, don’t let the team of Wanxiang Sect and Lyu Liang’s team meet!”
Dongfang Jin understood and immediately took the lead.
Dongfang Badao also switched the scenes in the scroll to the closed formation of Lyu Liang’s team vs. Blood Divine Sect team, and sighed gently, “The journey to the Land of Origin, I am afraid it is not calm! Finally, someone can enter the core area. The Crazy Devil Blade, is it the life-bonded divine weapon of the Devil Clan creator? The Saint Emperor said, after this journey, the channel seal will also be ruined. Does someone want to seek the Crazy Devil Blade? Anyway, I hope my milord can achieve what he wants!”
…
At the moment, Lyu Liang’s eyes were rigidly staring at the opposite Blood Divine Sect team, and of course, most importantly, staring at the middle-aged man who wore whiskers.
Seeing that the two teams went to the ring, one of the disciples of the villa said, “Now, the first game of the qualification contest officially starts. The rules are the same as the preliminary competition. The two sides send members to enter the closed formation! After the contest, the winner will appear in the ring. If the member of the failed team is still alive, they will appear in their own team. If they do not appear, they are dead!”
Lyu Liang didn’t move. Before, Lyu Liang had already explained the grievances of himself and the Blood Divine Sect. Everyone also shared the same enemy and hatred. They all knew that the main goal of Lyu Liang was the whiskered man.
Sure enough, the Blood Divine Sect team moved first, and the one who entered the light gate was exactly the whiskered man. In the eyes of Lyu Liang, light burst out, and the flooding fighting intent also surged out, then he also entered the light gate.
Within the light gate, there was an endless wasteland. Lyu Liang’s heart was filled with admiration. “The seniors of this Thousands Beast Mansion must be top figures in spatial techniques!”
After restraining his mind, Lyu Liang began to look at his opponent. Similarly, the opposite person was staring at him.
“You give me a feeling of familiarity, have we met?” The whiskered man first spoke, and he seemed to frown and wonder about something.
“Yeah, aren’t we meeting now? I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you. Although I don’t know what secret method you used to reduce your cultivation level to the peak of the Gold Core stage, I will let you know that this is the worst decision in your life!” Lyu Liang laughed, then he moved first!
He understood that it was better to start first!
Without any delay, his Devil Immortal Qi burst forward, the styles of Heart Swordsmanship and Xuanyuan Swordsmanship were simultaneously used. Relying on the acceleration of the Kun Peng Skill and the Devil Thunder Wing, in the blink of an eye, Lyu Liang had rushed to an area less than three meters away from the whiskered man!
The pupils of the whiskered man obviously shrank, and there was a hint of viciousness on his face. Although he was inexplicably surprised by the strong killing intent of Lyu Liang, it was obviously not the time to think over it.
A silver disc was released and it instantly turned into a silver light curtain. The next moment, the whiskered man disappeared from his original position, and Lyu Liang’s sword styles all fell on the silver light curtain.
In an instant, the light curtain was broken. Then, on the side of Lyu Liang, the figure of the whiskered man appeared. At the same time, with fierce murderous intent, the strange silver disc instantly flew to Lyu Liang. He had the feeling that if he was shackled, his ending would be the same as his mother.
Lyu Liang quickly released the Celadon Jade Seal, and he activated its ‘complete state’. After the silver disc touched the blue light, it made a harsh rubbing sound and then disappeared. Lyu Liang was directly smashed to the ground by a huge force. Although he stood up quickly, there was already a trace of blood flowing out of his mouth.
“Brother, be careful! This is not the power that a man at the peak of the Gold Core stage can release. This blow has already reached the level of the Fairy Immortal, and you must not fight him with strength!” In his mind, the cries of the celadon sister came.
Lyu Liang inwardly nodded. No one knew more about the power of that blow than he had. Although it did not hurt him, it stirred his blood and qi, and he couldn’t help but vomit a mouthful of blood! Who would believe that this man was only at the peak of Gold Core stage!
However, no matter how anyone observed it, the man’s cultivation was indeed the peak of the Gold Core stage! This made Lyu Liang puzzled, and finally, he concluded that the man surely had a secret method to suppress his cultivation level! The magic treasure the man used was almost the same as the one that was once developed by Lyu Liang, which could hide the aura of magic while his suppressing cultivation! However, it was obvious that the method of the whiskered man was more brilliant!
Not far away, the whiskered man also frowned and stared at Lyu Liang, and his heart was also groaning, “No wonder the king wanted me to be careful about this kid, he just fell after being hit by the ‘complete state’ of Treasure Wheel, and was merely slightly hurt without severe injuries. It seems that he still has powerful moves. I have no choice, I must fight hard!”
Lyu Liang did not hesitate, and more than a dozen giant swords floated around the scene and instantly began to melt and drift at the top. For the first time, the whiskered man revealed a dignified expression. The silver disc continued to be turned into a light curtain to cover his whole body, and he took out a blood-red curved sword that seemed to be made of bones from his chest!
Seeing this curved sword, Lyu Liang was also startled. “That blood-bone sword is a magic treasure of the upper level of Immortal standard!” Lyu Liang heavily gnawed his teeth and released his strongest whirlpool of Sword Qi! Countless sword lights were sent out by the Feiling sword, and it covered the whiskered man!
The whiskered man resisted the Sword Qi that was constantly drifting down while waved the blood-bone sword. It was observed that suddenly a red light flashed, then the original curved blood-bone sword turned into a blood-colored bone dragon, exuding breathtaking power, and circled towards Lyu Liang.
Lyu Liang’s pupils shrank, and at the same time, a decision was made in his heart!
In the face of the bone dragon that rushed up, Lyu Liang had no thoughts of hard resistance! This was a weapon of the upper-grade of the Immortal standard. From its appearance, it must be in the ‘complete state’. The opponent’s cultivation was at the peak of the Gold Core stage, but he could activate the ‘complete state’ of an Immortal standard magic treasure. Was this a fucking violation against the rules?
The Ghost Devil Head was released, and the Devil Thunder Wing flashed, then the speed of Lyu Liang increased by several levels, and he rushed over to the whiskered man.
When the whiskered man saw that Lyu Liang’s cultivation suddenly increased by three levels, his eyes showed an unbelieving expression, and his heart was extremely depressed. If he was not forced to suppress his cultivation, he could kill this stinky kid in a flash, now it was distressing that he could only rely on magic treasure! If it depended on cultivation and power, he was inferior to his opponent!
Seeing Lyu Liang pounce on him, the whiskered man did not hesitate to disappear on the spot. Lyu Liang also observed that as long as the man was shrouded by the silver light curtain, he could disappear from it, and if he wanted to implement his plan, he must find a way to get him out of the silver light curtain.
“Black, sorry to trouble you, but act according to plan! If you fail, I will also accept the result!” In his mind, Lyu Liang communicated with Black.
“Well, okay, these are all of your cards. If you can’t kill your opponent, you will be completely exposed. What is waiting for you does not need to be said! Be prepared, success is here!” The voice of Black was also unprecedentedly dignified.
Once again, Lyu Liang escaped the pursuit of the blood-bone dragon, and saw that the whiskered man appeared at his side, followed by a silver light curtain. Lyu Liang’s hand was raised, and the last Soul-raising Pill was swallowed. At this time, the duration of the Ghost Devil Head had not ended, but Lyu Liang’s cultivation broke through and reached the middle Void Return stage.
The whiskered man was completely stunned. He had never seen such a perverted cultivation promotion method. For the first time, the words ‘I surrender’ was almost blurted out!
At this time, Lyu Liang’s speed suddenly increased by several levels. Previously he only used the Devil Thunder Wing, and now he also added the Kun Peng Skill! With his promotion of cultivation to the middle of the Void Return stage, even an afterimage was not left, and he appeared in front of the whiskered man in a flash.
Without missing a beat, the whiskered man disappeared. But the next moment, when the whiskered man appeared at a place about fifty meters away from Lyu Liang, he had not had time to release the silver light curtain. A black cat with strong magical power appeared in front of him.
“Shadow, Shadow Domain Beast! You are…” The whiskered man got stunned for an instant, and although it was only for a moment, but the fight already completely entered Lyu Liang’s rhythm. A strange whip shadow appeared behind the whiskered man at the same time, when he saw this whip, he didn’t hesitate. His eyes were first horrified, then became cruel, “The God Whipping Whip! Shadow Domain Beast! You were the little bastard with the Xuanli bloodline…”
This was the whiskered man’s last sentence in this world. The next moment, an aura that could destroy heaven and earth came from behind, and when he turned his head in horror, he was already facing the blood-red eyes of Lyu Liang.
Instantly, a silver bolt of lightning with a horrible oppressive aura appeared out of nowhere, and it fell directly at the intersection of the two men…
…
In the sword pavilion, everyone felt a slight tremor, and the teams began to talk about what was happening. In the Lyu Liang team, Zhu Yan was dozing off, Xu Mubai bowed his head and meditated, while Shangguan Ying and Li Wuyi were filled with anxious expressions.
Not far away, in the team of the Blood Divine Sect, the tall man wearing a faceless mask suddenly covered his chest with his hands and revealed the expression of pain. Immediately, his eyes revealed a hateful intent that could penetrate the sky, and he mercilessly stared at the Lyu Liang team.
…
In the main hall of the Thousands Beast Mansion, the core figures headed by Dongfang Badao were all staring at the battlefield in the closed formation. At this time, the tall figure of a young girl appeared in the main hall, and she was stunned and looked at Lyu Liang, who stood proudly in the picture, muttering to herself, “How could he be in the late Gold Core stage… Grandpa said someone who is at the peak of the Gold Core stage could fight against him? Why do I feel that anyone under the Void Return stage should directly accept their loss when meeting him…”
