Chapter 202: Kill at Night
Lyu Liang successfully left the main battlefield in the Chaotic World, under the cover of the company he was with.
As Xu Mubai took Lyu Liang in his body, other people consciously surrounded, and kept a close watch on the aura around them.
When they were less than 100,000 feet away from the Transfer Point of Jibo Territory, the sound of a girl crying, could suddenly be heard. It gradually became louder, and the distance between them, also seemed to be closer and closer.
They were startled at first. Then the sounds of more girls crying followed. The founding father of Sword Character changed color at once. He stuck to Xu Mubai after an instantaneous flash, and yelled at the same time, “Seven Yin Evil Spirit Array! Hold on for one hour. Try and defend yourself!”
After this, the surrounding air stopped flowing right away. Though the people stayed together initially, suddenly they disappeared successively. The founding father of Sword Character took Xu Mubai by the arm, so they were stuck together all the time.
When they were the only people left in the air, seven figures emerged. They were slender women, with their heads down and wearing white robes which were dyed red with blood. At the moment, they were all giving out the cultivation aura of the peak of Almighty Immortal!
Without any hesitation, the founding father of Sword Character raised his hand and eight golden Talismans shone and surrounded him and Xu Mubai immediately. Meanwhile, he held a golden sword, which activated a Field Domain of Eight-Diagram pattern with a golden light sparkling all around.
“Mubai, you focus on defense! They are just corpses of seven women, and not really dangerous. But each time I kill one of them, my cultivation will drop one notch, so I will focus on fighting, for a while. You try to protect yourself and there is no need for you to fight back! This array unit will stay effective for one hour at the most, and we will be okay if we make it through within this time!” The founding father of Sword Character secretly transmitted a voice to Xu Mubai hastily, who nodded at his words, and immediately activated a bloody Field Domain around himself.
“Leave Lyu Liang to us, and you live! Otherwise, you will die!” One of the female corpses raised her head, and her badly mutilated face was exposed. Her empty eyes were of utter darkness and then she let out a shrill and harsh cry.
Then the seven female corpses raised their arms to show tapering fingers flashing with dazzling blue light, and surrounded them for the kill.
…
At the same time, Yang Ying and Wen Ying were also fighting with seven identical female corpses, and already killed one.
“Crap! Sister, stop killing! We will try to fight flexibly and contain them. I just killed one and my cultivation has dropped one notch! Reserve your power. Let me kill them!” Yang Ying’s eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth, as she said this.
“No! Elder sister, let me kill them. You are still much more powerful than me, even if your cultivation drops! You reserve your power and let me take care of the rest!” Wen Ying killed another corpse right at this point, and her cultivation also began to drop.
“No. You are only capable of killing three of them, at the most. Your remaining cultivation will not be sufficient to handle the rest. We will fight flexibly at first, and then try to figure out a way!” Yang Ying was very anxious at that moment, but still she knew that the situation was more complex, and could not be fixed from one person’s sacrifice.
…
What happened to Li Wuyi and the four Fairy Immortals, was totally different. They were close to each other at that time and naturally got together as one group.
But at that time, Li Wuyi had already changed into a puppet of Tao Master, and his opponents were actually the four Fairy Immortals! Or, they were not the real four Fairy Immortals.
The four people had changed and looked completely different from before. Fuyuan, Zhenyuan and Hunyuan looked ferocious and their eyes were emitting ghost lights. They threw magic treasures of Field Domain, right at the puppet formed by Li Wuyi. Immortal Danyuan was the only normal one at some level, but he was hiding behind and sneering. He was twiddling his beard with one hand, and the other hand seemed to be holding three white threads which were connected to the other three people, who were attacking Li Wuyi fiercely.
“Bastard! You are a spy! You even turn on your fellow disciples. You are not a human being!” Li Wuyi roared angrily.
Immortal Danyuan sneered and said, “Humph, fellow disciples? Yeah, you outsiders see us as four intimate fellow disciples, but do you know that I’ve been made as a hosting body for refining the Demon Emperor Horn by the Blood Divine Sect for one thousand years? Who has ever paid attention to the person that’s been my substitute! I am the chief disciple of the founding father of Sword Character. Do you know that? Why I can’t be the leader of the Sword Character Immortal Palace!” Immortal Danyuan was so emotional that his hand controlling the other three people, started to shake slightly.
“You’re crazy!” Li Wuyi replied, as he gritted his teeth. Although he was in a hurry to find Xu Mubai, the three Fairy Immortals used to be his comrades in arms. It was just not easy to bring himself to kill them.
…
At this moment, Lyu Liang and the three divine beasts of Chaos, were staying in Xu Mubai’s cave residence. They knew what was happening at that time, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Lyu Liang knew that they were all here for him. It seemed that not only his magic treasures were coveted; his life was also a goal, for some people to terminate.
However, he could do nothing at that time, even if he wanted to kill the enemies. While praying that his friends would not get hurt, he was also determined to spend the rest of his life paying back their kindness, when he recovered his cultivation.
…
Just when the situation was getting messy, some deep Buddhism Sanskrit verses came over the air. Almost instantly, the female corpses that were attacking, froze there and then, and gripped their heads. Their faces were obscure, but they sounded like they were in so much pain.
The Sanskrit recitation was much louder where Xu Mubai was at. The seven female corpses let out extremely miserable screams, and then, one by one, their bodies started to explode and were scattered all about.
“Which powerful figure of Buddhism is here? Stay away from this, otherwise…” A man’s rough voice filled with great surprise and rage, could be heard. Obviously he was shocked at what was happening.
“Powerful figure of Buddhism? It has been a long time since someone called me that! Humph, it’s not my business who you kill or set fire to, but that can happen after I get what I want! Go away!” The moment the Sanskrit verses stopped, a deafening, vast voice could be heard.
Then a skinny monk, dressed in a colorful robe, emerged from the void. The 12 Monkhood Scars on the top of his head, were especially conspicuous. It was hard to tell his age as his face seemed to have be burned before, and was black all over. Except for his eyes shining with a blue light, his other facial features were all difficult to make out.
There was no aura coming out of his body at all, but no one at the site was fooled. Since he could break the array unit so easily and said something so wild, he could be anything but an ordinary person!
“Senior, we just want to kill Lyu Liang. Can you tell me why you are here?” The rough voice was full of respect this time.
“Haha. I’m also here because of Lyu Liang. I’m not interested in his life, but he has something I’ve been longing for. Before I get that, you have to keep out of it. I won’t get involved in other array units, but this part, I will take it all!” The skinny monk said lightly, but with incontrovertible majesty.
The owner of the rough voice seemed to understand and kept silent at once. The founding father of Sword Character and Xu Mubai, became nervous instantly.
In front of this weird monk without any aura, they couldn’t tell why a sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts. This was a kind of prediction about the opponent’s power that would only happen to battle-hardened people.
“Senior, could you please tell me what Lyu Liang can do for you?” Xu Mubai, as the elder brother, strode to the front and asked loudly, with cupped fists.
“I just want to search his soul. After I get what I want, I will leave instantly!” The monk said this indifferently, and started to move toward them.
The founding father of Sword Character and Xu Mubai frowned and gasped. Search a mortal’s soul? Even if Lyu Liang agreed to cooperate, soul flying and scattering would be the only outcome for him!
“If you only have this one demand, I will protect my brother even if I have to sacrifice myself!” Xu Mubai’s face darkened instantly. Although he knew clearly the gap between himself and the monk, his entire body burst out with an aura.
Unexpectedly, the monk did not get angry at the rejection, and stared at Xu Mubai, his eyes flickering with the glory of memory. He said after a sigh, “One person’s whole life only lasts dozens of years, which is like a dream and a fantasy. Obsessiveness, is it good or bad?”
Xu Mubai and the founding father of Sword Character did not have time to think about what he meant, when the monk before them, suddenly burst forth with a golden light. Then a monstrous three-eyed Buddha shadow, nearly 500 feet high emerged slowly, from behind the monk, whereupon a kind of destructive aura broke out.
“Heavenly Master! You can exert the cultivation of the Peak of Heavenly Master! And the Buddha shadow… you, you are Master Xuan Bei… it’s impossible! You are supposed to be dead, together with the Golden Light Temple about 10,000 years ago!” The founding father of Sword Character let out a cry, after seeing the giant Buddha shadow, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The monk was also surprised at his words, but he immediately shook his head and smiled lightly, saying, “I didn’t expect that someone today could still remember this. Yes, no wonder I felt something familiar about you. You are the pro-disciple of brother Tian Bao, right? But, if you insist on stopping me, I will only kill you. When I meet Tian Bao in the future, I would apologize to him then!”
The founding father of Sword Character gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stand together with Xu Mubai, saying deeply, “Master Xuan Bei, I don’t know what made one of the three Free Immortals, who was well-known for his heart of mercy, become a malicious man who would not even let a mortal off. But if you continue to be like this, I will risk my life to protect my brother!”
“Humph! Mercy! Mercy! What does that even mean?” “During the first half of my life, I thought doing favors for others was merciful, but I was wrong. My mercy led to countless miseries and deaths! You don’t know it, but I already experienced that! The real mercy will never be like the situation now!” It seemed that his sore spot was touched and his terrible face became even more distorted. Meanwhile, the giant Buddha shadow behind him suddenly opened his eyes, and then slightly lifted its left arm to deal a slap to the founding father of Sword Character and Xu Mubai, who were on high alert below!
A huge Void handprint pressed down, accompanied by the deep Sanskrit verses before, and golden beams of light with a radius of one hundred miles, appeared. It looked like a cage.
The founding father of Sword Character and Xu Mubai were in so much pain, but their eyes were shining with unyielding brilliance. They created golden and silver sword lights to form a circular shield, desperately withstanding the mighty power from the gradually fading handprint!
…
The other two groups in the fight had seen this earlier, because basically half of the Seven Yin Evil Spirit Array, was broken after the monk broke the array unit. And the original baffling Bounded Domain naturally lost its effectiveness.
On the other side, the Tao Master puppet who had been fighting with the three Fairy Immortals now gave a great shout, and then his aura shot up to the Peak of Sword Character Immortal Palace! Li Wuyi called out furiously, “I don’t have time to waste on you anymore. I have to rescue my brothers! If you die, I will personally go to the Sword Character Immortal Palace to apologize!”
After he finished speaking, there was blood all over the six weapons that were originally being held by the Tao Master puppet with three heads and six arms. When he waved them again, the three Fairy Immortals flew straight out without any resistance and directly hit the ground. Li Wuyi had no idea whether they were still alive.
Next minute, the Tao Master puppet disappeared right on the spot, and reappeared in a place that was less than 100 feet from the monk. Without any hesitation, he rushed fiercely at the monk.
“In the field of Mortal World puppet, you are already regarded as one of the best, but still that’s not enough for me to open my third eye!” The monk sneered and the giant Buddha shadow raised his right arm with the palm forming a handprint like “orchid fingers”, and a thick beam of golden light shot forth.
Li Wuyi dodged aside, instinctively. However, the golden light seemed to have eyes and turned strangely to follow him, shooting right at the chest of the puppet.
“Ah!!!” Li Wuyi roared in anger and retreated for several hundred feet, while being held against by the golden light. He soon steadied himself, and was literally trying to reversely push against the golden light, inch by inch.
The monk was surprised for a moment and said with a nod, “Good. It seems that I have underrated you! But, you are still not powerful enough…”
“Really? Am I powerful enough to make you open your third eye? Or will you just open the eye of the sky now!” A teenager’s jocular voice could be heard. Then two big gray webs, much like spider webs, came out of nowhere, both having a huge word of “Seal” in the middle.
One wrapped the handprint on Xu Mubai’s side and the other one changed into a beam of flowing light and hit the light stream Li Wuyi was holding against, from the side. Then two muffled sounds were heard, before the giant handprint and the golden light stream vanished, at the same time.
The time it took was even less than a breath from the time the teenager started to speak, before everything was over. Everyone on the site was dumbfounded. Right at that moment, the monk spoke, as he gritted his teeth, “Good! Luckily I concealed my aura deliberately at first, but even the Immortal General “Sky Holding” is also here! We are really destined to meet each other!”
At the same time, a beam of white light flashed by and a handsome teenager wearing an Eight-Diagram robe appeared, with his hands leisurely held inside the sleeves. But his eyes were full of sharp light which were blazing continuously. He smiled and said, “I also did not expect that I would come across you, a villainous monk who has broken the religious precept, in this small world! One of the high-ranking leaders in Hell Organization, World Devastating Deity! You should be brave enough to compete with me. Whoever wants to escape is the wimp!”
