Chapter 87 The Dragon-Rising Tao
During this moment of desperation, Lyu Liang’s heart was extremely calm. Turning his head and looking sideways, he whispered, “Qing Xuan, I am sorry! If not for me, you wouldn’t have been in this situation. You might probably have entered the sword grave and enjoyed the opportunity.”
Liu Qingxuan laughed loudly and shook his head, “Brother Lyu, you are wrong! Since I met you, I had the most enjoyable days I ever had in my life! I am no longer a caged bird that can only be an armchair strategist. No wonder my elder brother likes to go out and travel. Helping others and making friends is such a happy thing!”
Lyu Liang also smiled, “There are four at the Middle-stage of Void Return and one at the Late-stage. We are probably going to die. I have the confidence to kill one, maybe even two if my skills are better than I expected. Brother, how about you?”
The look in Liu Qingxuan’s eyes was fiery and suddenly he smiled and asked, “Hey, do you think we have a life and death relationship?”
Lyu Liang was stunned at first, but then he laughed and said, “Even if you are my life-death brother, nothing can be more than this right? Qingxuan, if we leave this place alive, you will be my first brother from the Pangu Origin world!”
Suddenly, lights flashed and Su Qiao’er appeared in front of everyone. She cried, “Master and this young man, you all got into this trouble because of me. Let me go with them! I will make sure your safety is a condition and ask them to spare you!”
“Go back!” Hearing Lyu Liang’s sudden roar, Su Qiao’er was shocked and then she shouted unwillingly, “No! Master! Don’t make me go back…” Before she could finish, she disappeared. Apparently, she was forced into the cave residence by Lyu Liang.
At this time, Lyu Liang seemed to be muttering to himself, “If I can’t even protect my disciple, do you want me to live with my Inner Devil for a lifetime? Stay alive and if we are really dead, then it’s not too late for you to burst your Divine Soul!”
At this time, Beishan Xiao became impatient with the two people in front of him. He waved his hands at both sides and said, “They are determined to fight against me! Go! Dou Tao, Guo Sheng, Wang Tianhu, you three go to deal with this guy in white! Yan Ning, you go and kill that blue-robed guy!”
Once Beishan Xiao finished speaking, the three figures started their attack on Lyu Liang. Lyu Liang snorted and instantly merged with Black. He said, ” “Come on, it’s good if I kill one of you and one more will be a bonus!” Then he stood still, but the Devil Thunder Wing on his back started to emit traces of thunder.
Looking at the unusually calm Lyu Liang in front of them, the three felt a bit embarrassed. However, the huge difference between their cultivation stage made them condescending instead of cautious. At this time, the three men waved two swords and one knife that radiated a powerful pressure and rushed over at Lyu Liang!
Under the countless sword and knife shadows, Lyu Liang was wrapped in a layer of blue light that was surrounded by faint traces of black lights.
“Well, sure enough, with the cooperation of the Celadon Jade Seal and the Shadow Realm Shield, together with the Heavenly Devil refined body, a cultivator at Middle-stage of Void Return cannot do me much harm! However, the loss of the Devil Immortal Qi is a bit too fast, I have to take the initiative!”. A plan instantly flashed through Lyu Liang’s mind.
On the other hand, Liu Qingxuan had been fighting with Yan Ning who was at the Late-stage of Void Return. A lot of air currents collided and vibrated, issuing from the two of them. Surprisingly, they were at a tie.
Liu Qingxuan was still using his low-profile swordsmanship, but his body was emitting a faint red light. His expression was sorrowful and he seemed to be struggling and enduring a certain level of pain.
Yan Ning waved a golden whip in the air; it turned into countless thunder and lightning, exuding a devouring aura that slashed towards Liu Qingxuan. At the same time, a purple round shield guarded her chest to resist the Sword Qis aiming at her. She seemed to be contemplating her moves.
Suddenly, Yan Ning gritted her teeth and a ruthless look appeared on her face. She waved her hand and a bronze mirror emitting a strange red light appeared in front of her. Liu Qingxuan, who was calm at first, suddenly became shocked and screamed, “Fire-Monster Mirror!”
After his shout echoed in the air, the bronze mirror flashed and a 33 feet tall flamed unicorn monster emerged, emitting a horrible aura at the Peak of Void Return! Yan Ning waved her hand and manipulated the flame monster to start its attack.
Beishan Xiao’s original intention was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. He felt that since his four people were at the Void Return stage, it would be easy for them to kill the two who were only at the Gold Core stage. He did not expect that these two people would be that hard to deal with; one had a super strong defense and the other made his aura disappear. Though it was two versus four, they were still at a tie.
Though it was annoying, Beishan Xiao himself had to prepare himself to join the fight as well. His opponent was Lyu Song, whose eyes had already turned red.
By now, Lyu Song had already made his mind to follow Lyu Liang. First of all, his Life-Soul was in his hands. If Lyu Liang died, he would die too. Secondly, even if nothing happened, he would still be killed if the two of them died. Thus, he chose to fight with all his might!
Although there was a level difference between Beishan Xiao and Lyu Song, he was similar to Lyu Liang in terms of their strong defense! This was why he could hold on to Lyu Liang’s extraordinary attack.
For a time, the three places exuded a chaotic fighting atmosphere. Although they were within the formation, it still caused a severe vibration of the heavens and the earth and naturally attracted the attention of some people. Now, several auras emitted by the power of Fairy Immortals were rushing over.
At this time, Lyu Liang changed his attacking strategy. Previously, the three people directly attacked Lyu Liang and Lyu Liang defended relying on the Celadon Jade Seal and Shadow Realm Shield. After thirty minutes, Lyu Liang began to move and he targeted the verge of the Dragon-Locking Formation.
Like a prisoner who was eager to escape from the cage, he kept hitting the edge of the large formation, seemingly trying to break out using brute force. The three men at the Void Return looked at each other and smiled and a thought appeared in their mind: “Finally, he couldn’t hold it?”
As a result, the three people unscrupulously approached and attacked Lyu Liang. Lyu Liang behaved like a panicked rabbit that scurried about everywhere. He was like a headless fly which avoided the attack and hit the border.
Just when everyone thought that Lyu Liang couldn’t take the attack anymore, a light flashed through his eyes. He looked at the three people who were getting closer and closer and the Devil Thunder Wing behind him suddenly shook. Then he disappeared. The next moment, he appeared in front of the three. At the same time, a heaven-earth ruining aura flew out of him!
The three of them, who were relaxed till now, were stunned by the sudden transformation. Then their faces changed and they turned away to escape. However, when they turned around, they felt like there was a barrier behind them. Although they broke through the barrier in less than a breath, this minute delay proved to be fatal.
That barrier was the Shadow Realm Shield made by Lyu Liang. Its purpose was to delay them for an instant!
A bolt of silver lightning flashed through the void and instantly fell between the four people who were fighting.
The other two battle groups nearby were also affected by this horrible atmosphere and they gave up fighting and started to defend themselves.
After the smoke dissipated, three figures were revealed. To be more accurate, two and a half figures appeared.
Lyu Liang was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and his aura was weak, but he still had a fierce look. In front of him was Dou Tao, who only had half a body left and Wang Tianhu, who looked intact. As for Guo Sheng, he died and dissipated into ashes!
At this time, Dou Tao’s aura was extremely unstable and he seemed to maintain his Divine Soul using a secret method. Then he gritted his teeth and a golden Talisman appeared in his hand. He crushed it and disappeared.
Wang Tianhu had a fearful look on his face and immediately fled to the other side of the Dragon-Locking Formation. Then he vomited out a large mouthful of blood, his face turned from red to white and he was evidently not in a good state.
“Ha ha ha! Brother Lyu! You are indeed a genius! I used to admire my father the most, but from now on, it shall be you! Since you have taken care of the three, I will finish this last one!” Not far away, Liu Qingxuan shouted excitedly.
Immediately, he fixed his gaze on Yan Ning who was dumbfounded. His look suddenly turned crazy. He held his head with one hand and roared towards the sky. Next, his whole body gave out a ‘Pi Pa’ sound and his bones cracked. The red light that was radiating from his body suddenly turned a bloody red color.
It was no longer the feeling that he had no aura. At this moment, Liu Qingxuan exuded a pressure close to the Fairy Immortal stage, and slowly, a golden cloud of light visible to the naked eye, rose from the top of his head. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood but carelessly wiped it away. His eyes were filled with vigorous fighting intent.
An unbelievable look appeared on Beishan Xiao’s face, and even his voice changed, “Dragon-Rising Qi! This, this is the Dragon -Rising Tao! You, you are actually…”
Liu Qingxuan laughed loudly and suddenly turned to Lyu Liang and said, “Brother Lyu, I am sorry, I have not been honest with you before. Liu is my mother’s surname and my actual surname is Nangong. “Today’s fight might be my last battle, Nangong Qingxuan. If I should die an unfortunate death and you are able to escape, I shall trouble you to inform the Nangong family in Southern Heaven District!”
Lyu Liang was tremendously shocked. “Nangong? Wasn’t that the name of the top Nangong family in Southern Heaven District? This playful yet knowledgeably young man was actually from the Nangong Family?”
Not only Lyu Liang, Beishan Xiao and Yan Ning were shocked too. However, a malicious look immediately flashed through Beishan Xiao’s face and Yan Ning seemed to be in some sort of struggle.
At this time, Nangong Qingxuan was like a devouring beast. His eyes sparkled with gold light and he muttered to himself, “Dad, I really regret that I didn’t listen to your words before. It turned out that you forced me to practice for my own good! However, I don’t regret it. I also have a life and death brother! I finally understood what grandfather meant before rising to another realm! I really do have the blood of fighting in my body! Dad, mom, I can only show filial piety in my next life!”
Nangong Qingxuan emitted a devouring aura. He didn’t give Yan Ning any time to hesitate and pounced on her. He threw a punch that was no longer a strand or a pile of Sword Qis. It was equivalent to a Sword Qi formation.
Yan Ning stared and made an instant decision. She immediately steered the flame monster and met the attack headlong. The slightly trembling Dragon-Locking Formation was falling apart after the power of Lyu Liang’s devil thunder attack and now under the pressure of Nangong Qingxuan’s move.
Suddenly, Nangong Qingxuan roared loudly and more and more golden Primordial Qi condensed on his head. Then, he turned into a dragon. Next, a horrible aura similar to Almighty Immortal filled the entire space of the formation and a golden dragon emerged in the air, making people want to succumb to it naturally.
The flame monster, which was still attacking, seemed to be psychic. After seeing the dragon, it suddenly began to tremble and rushed back to the bronze mirror held by Yan Ning.
…
At the same time when the golden dragon appeared, far away from the main hall of the Nangong family in Southern Heaven District, a purple-bearded man with a purple-golden crown stood and frowned. On the seat next to him, a feminine palace-dressed woman was saying something with a sorrowful face.
“Darling, I am very flustered, Xuan’er must have encountered an incident! Although the four lords went out to look for him, my heart is still jumping very badly. Maybe, I should get the two ghosts to find him…”
“Zi Huan, let me go. The two ghosts will be left here to protect you. After all, they are not supposed to appear publicly. I am going with the sacred snake… um?”
Suddenly, the long case in front of the giant man which originally enshrined a Talisman of the golden dragon, gave out a dazzling golden light. Then, there was nothing on the Talisman, the golden dragon had disappeared!
“Sacred Snake!” The eyes of the giant man sparkled and the next moment he disappeared. Although the woman in the palace dress showed a hint of joy, she was still worried. She muttered, “Is it Xuan’er? How come so fast… can you stand it? Mom is so worried about you…”
…
At the same time, in the Northern Heaven District, in the Tian Ji Mansion of the Beishan family, a red-bearded old man in a blue robe was furious as a handsome man was respectfully reporting something in front of him.
“Father, second brother has seriously crossed the line, now he is… um?! This is… father!”
“Bastard! Xiaohai, hit the Five-Soul Clock and get the five old men to go together!”
