Chapter 230 Becoming Fugitives
Lyu Liang had never felt so flustered before. But at this time, he subconsciously clenched his fists when he faced this group of dead skeletons.
The reason why he felt shocked, or even flustered was not that he was afraid of those skeletons, but that his Divine Body should be damaged! It was too incredible!
At this time, it was obvious that Lyu Liang could not come up with any solutions. In the face of the black swords slashing at him from all directions, he subconsciously lifted the stone egg that had been placed next to Liu Jiawen, and used it to block the sword attacks!
The moment the black sword touched the stone egg, the original light red surface of the stone egg suddenly released a layer of faint black light. At the same time, a shrill sound issued forth from all the black long swords that came into contact with the egg, then their black lights disappeared instantly. Even the skeletons that were holding the swords were reduced to ashes in a flash!
However, it was a pity that the stone egg could only prevent the attacks from the front, yet failed to stop those behind Lyu Liang!
Although the weird strong power of the stone egg gave Lyu Liang some form of encouragement, at least some hope of winning, those attacks from behind made many scars on his back!
Although Lyu Liang was not badly injured, his back was covered with blood. What’s more, there was an agonizing pain in his Divine Soul.
Lyu Liang could feel that his Divine Body still existed, but it could not help him to ward off the attacks from the weird long sword! In addition, the function of the Tianxuan Holy Rattan seemed to be totally lost in this place!
“Hey, even if you have the means to protect yourself for a while, don’t think about leaving this place today! Oh, it’s a terrible place, if it’s not me… um? This, what is this! No, don’t… ah!!!” The original bantering voice of the mysterious man suddenly became terrified, as if he had seen something incredible.
When the last “ah” was uttered, the mysterious man did not make any sound again. But at this time, something terrifying happened!
The skeletons holding the swords that were originally scattered around them, suddenly fell to the ground. The black light around the swords in their hands, turned into a stream of black airflows, and then they all seeped into the stone egg!
Even though he was shocked, Lyu Liang did not forget what he was there for.
After the mysterious man’s terrified scream, the layer of blue light around Liu Jiawen disappeared, but she still could not move or speak.
“Little Liang, there is a restriction formation in him, which is similar to the one in Xuanli Evil Moon. This one cannot be unsealed in a short time!” Black’s voice transmitted a message secretly to Lyu Liang, which made him hold Liu Jiawen up instantly, and he rushed back to the place where he had come from.
As for the stone egg, it was not as if he wanted to throw it away, but he did not dare to hold it anymore!
The stone egg, at this time has turned into an extremely strange object, which was totally different from the previous unremarkable one. It was engulfed with black gas, and cracking sounds could be heard from within it. It seemed as if a terrifying object could break out from the egg at any time!
Inside the Demon Tomb, the cultivation of Lyu Liang was only at the Foundation Establishment level, and it was even worse for Liu Jiawen. Due to this restriction, she was no better than a mortal, at this point.
In addition, his Divine Body had been destroyed for no reason, so the Tian Xuan Shengteng did not work, and even the flight and the Divine Sense were restricted. Lyu Liang could not wait to get out quickly from this strange place.
Just when Lyu Liang was darting ahead, while holding on to Liu Jiawen, a thunderous sound erupted, which was followed by a horrible scream, and the whole world was filled with a strange aura.
This was a kind of aura that Lyu Liang had never experienced before. It was somewhat like the Death Qi, but and it gave one an extreme feeling of dread.
At the same time, several figures started crawling out from some of the tombs. This time, it was no longer the bloodless skeletons, but cultivators whose auras were so strong!
Among them were the Human Clan, Devil Clan, Demon Clan, and even Spirit Clan. But they were all shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Combined with their dead eyes shining with a clear blue light, they certainly gave one the creeps!
“The Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array! Actually it is the Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array! Kid, quickly…” This was the first time that Lyu Liang heard such a horrified tone from White, but it was unknown why he stopped in mid-sentence.
“It is… ghost soldier… put me down… you quickly go… I am… going to change too…” Suddenly, Liu Jiawen’s faint voice could be heard. Her body was covered with thick black gas, and her eyes started to glow with the same kind of blue light. She had a pained look on her face, and her hand that was grasping Lyu Liang’s clothes, began to tremble slightly.
“What a joke! Hold on, as long as we can get out of here, everything will be fine!” How could Lyu Liang follow her instructions. Looking at the strong cultivators who had not attacked, Lyu Liang directly used the instantaneous flash, which he could use only up to a certain limit.
But then, something happened that shocked him greatly!
It was not that he could not use the instantaneous flash, but he could no longer feel the aura of all the Chaotic divine beasts, which was really very terrifying!
Although he had not relied on those beasts for a long time, yet there was still a connection between them a few moments ago, and at the next moment they totally lost all connection! He was frightened and broke out in cold sweat!
“Let me down… I can’t control… myself…” Liu Jiawen’s face was distorted by the pain, and the blue light in her eyes became even brighter. She was covered with the aura at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal period!
Lyu Liang turned a deaf ear to her words and did not give up trying to escape. But after a while, he was stunned, because the place where the entrance was located had completely disappeared, and there were tombs all around!
After a short period, an old voice sounded, which should be the Swallowing Spirit who had not made any sound for a long time. “East, always running, if you can… ”
He had hardly finished his words when his voice faded away, and obviously the voice had been stopped by some strong power!
Lyu Liang was startled, and finally understood that the others did not just disappear, but were controlled by a mysterious force!
Just when Lyu Liang turned toward the east, a huge force attacked him, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he found, to his surprise that the Liu Jiawen in his arms had completely transformed into something like the surrounding cultivators! It was her punch that had injured him!
“Ah!” Lyu Liang screamed in agony, but still held on tightly to Liu Jiawen. He continued rushing to the east, regardless of the situation.
All the beings who had been still and motionless previously, suddenly came to life when Lyu Liang turned in their direction. All kinds of swords and knives came flying out, and they were all covered with a layer of black light. One thing that made Lyu Liang feel a little relieved was that, although the cultivators had strong cultivation, they could not use any mana, so none of them could fly and chase him. It was really a blessing in this time of misfortune!
But even so, Lyu Liang still suffered from the attacks of enemies from all directions!
Liu Jiawen twisted her body madly, seemingly trying to break away from his arms, and her fists slammed in to his chest as frequently as rain drops.
Even if Lyu Liang has enough protection, he was still coughing out blood.
At this time, those cultivators rushed at him successively. Lyu Liang’s hands were both used to control Liu Jiawen, so he kicked out directly at his enemies, using his feet!
Although in terms of protection, his Divine Body had been limited by the weird force here, yet in terms of attacking power, it was really as powerful as before!
Lyu Liang’s attacks became slightly frantic. Facing the cultivators who were obviously not like living people, he just destroyed them with one blow!
Those that were kicked away by him were basically the ones with handicapped bodies. They either had no their arms or had holes in their chests. It was obvious that Lyu Liang’s strength was unreservedly inspired.
After 30 minutes, Lyu Liang was basically covered in blood. He had been beaten by Liu Jiawen on the front, and cut by the black lights on his back!
But overall speaking, Lyu Liang could still be considered a man full of vigor! Moreover, about fifteen meters away from the front, there were no longer disorderly tombs and puddles, but a chaotic fog.
At this point, the mass of airflow in the sky began to condense and gradually merged into a vortex. Suddenly, a streak of lightning flashed through, and a huge eyeball with a black pupil appeared in the center of the vortex. On it, a weird baby with no pupils gradually emerged, and it was shrouded completely by a blue light. Beneath the baby was the stone egg brought by Lyu Liang!
Seeing Lyu Liang rushing to the front of the fog, the blue light in the baby suddenly brightened, and a sharp shriek came from the baby’s mouth. At the same time, the baby stretched its arms and pointed to the front.
Suddenly, the whole world shook, and then a loud roaring of dragons rang through the clouds, and countless tombs started tumbling down.
A moment later, a dragon filled with a rotten aura, emerged from underground, and on its back were various tombs of different heights. When the baby yelled in the giant hole, the dragon responded with a shocking roar, and then its whole body burst from this unparalleled pressure. Its cultivation was at least above the Heavenly Master level!
At the same time, Lyu Liang had already burst through the fog, and was standing at the edge of a cliff.
In front of him was a chaotic abyss that was too deep for anyone to see the bottom, and behind him was the dragon with the rotten aura, which seemed eager to get into a fight. Lyu Liang believed that he would be wiped out by just a mere touch from the dragon.
“What shall we do… ” Liu Jiawen’s weak voice came over. Lyu Liang looked down subconsciously to see that the little girl was tearfully touching his chest that had been bruised by her. She seemed to have recovered, yet her cultivation had been reduced to the previous level.
At this time, Lyu Liang unexpectedly calmed down, tightened his arms, and smiling softly, said, “Will you feel sad if you die with me?”
Although Liu Jiawen was not feeling well, she still smiled and immediately held Lyu Liang in the same way.
A moment later, when the giant dragon screamed through the fog, it saw only bare cliffs and a black dot that fell rapidly.
……………………………………
In the distant Goddess Nyu Wa space, it was late at night. But in a luxurious mansion belonging to the Kong Family of the Remote Antiquity, there were loud noises, which sounded as if various instruments were falling or being smashed.
“Waste! Idiot! Jackass!” A handsome childe wearing a delicate costume raised his hand and smashed a seat, and then he shouted, “I asked you to kill Lyu Liang! Why did you hurt Liu Jiawen?” This is what you mean by ‘no risk at all?” If Liu Jiawen is dead too, you will all go to hell!”
In front of the handsome childe, stood a man wearing a ghost mask, who was covered by a black cloak. Amidst such chaos, he was as steady as a pine tree, making no moves at all.
Seeing that the handsome childe had stopped ranting, and had begun to question him with great fury, the man managed to smile and said, “Take it easy. I don’t know about everything that is going on with Lyu Liang, but I am sure that girl of the Liu Family is safe. I have just gotten the message that the life cards of the core disciples of the Liu Family are still there.”
“What can a life card tell?! It is one of the big forbidden areas marked by the Divine Ancestor! Your top killers really know how to pick the place! Now he is definitely dead, and I don’t know whether Liu Jiawen, is alive or dead. What should I do next!” Obviously the handsome childe had cooled down, but he still looked angry.
The man continued smiling, “What are you worrying about? This is not the first time we cooperated with each other, and has there ever been a time that we failed? I admit that we seriously underestimated the strength of Lyu Liang, so I have taken follow-up measures so far. You can just wait until I give you a satisfactory answer.”
“I just want Lyu Liang to die, and Liu Jiawen to live! It’s so simple!” The handsome childe was too tired to continue his rant. He wanted to restore his normal state, in regard to the status of the man.
“Anyway, you have done this without your father’s knowledge. If you don’t want your secret to be known by others, you’d better continue to be the gentle childe of the Kong Family. Although I can’t do it by myself, those who will perform the follow-up task are all my trusted subordinates. So don’t worry about that.” The voice of the mask man remained as calm and humble as it was before.
Staring at the man for a while, the handsome childe suddenly smirked, “We have cooperated with each other for many times and I feel that you are getting more and more horrible. So I also want to know the limit of your power! I do like Liu Jiawen, but will never deny everything for her sake! Let’s have a bet. If you fail this time, I mean, if Lyu Liang is not killed, you have to do the thing that I previously mentioned for me, for free! If you succeed, I will give you two more wild beasts at the Antiquity level! What do you think?”
The black-robed man was initially stunned and then he said in a happy voice, “Since you have said this, then it will be as you wish!”
