Chapter 254 Bloody Test
When Lyu Liang appeared at the square of the Fox and Wolf Clan, the three heads of the clan, who had been waiting for him, bowed deeply to him. Although they said nothing, yet judging from the spiritual light in their eyes, one could see that they were too excited to say anything!
As for Lyu Liang, he was extremely terrified… Somehow he had gotten the opportunity of the Fox and Wolf Clan, so how was he going to confess it to them…
“Taoism peer, your opportunity is really extraordinary! Hopefully, some day when you are powerful enough, you can return to our clan and destroy our destined Xuan Ling Engraving Seal!” After saying that, Hu Wu’s eyes filled with tears. He actually knelt, together with the two men behind him, who had the same expressions!
Feeling startled, Lyu Liang was surprised to find that the square was suddenly surrounded by the clansmen of Fox and Wolf. At this moment, they all knelt to pay their respects to him.
“Stand up please! I swear, as long as I am alive, I will help you to eliminate the bitterness of wearing the Xuan Ling Engraving Seal!” Although Lyu Liang was a bit stunned, he did not lose his consciousness. Although he was very much in doubt, he also knelt, insisting that “if they did not stand up, he would not stand up either.”
After a while, under Lyu Liang’s persistence, the three clan heads stood up and led their clansmen away. As for Lyu Liang, he went back to his cave residence, dazedly. Looking at the divine beasts scattered here and there, Lyu Liang stared at White and asked, “What… What has happened?”
White stared at him. After a while, he said, without answering the question, “Good! Really good! It seems that you have gotten that opportunity!”
Lyu Liang didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry over such an answer, “Senior White, is this the opportunity of the Fox and Wolf Clan? I obtained their opportunity, yet they regarded me as a god, rather than blaming me. Why?”
“You have the Holy Soul Order, but do you know the origin of the Holy Soul Order? Don’t you feel that the Fox and Wolf Clan and the Orc clansman have a similar constitution with you? Because Holy Soul Order is actually a fast growing magic treasure, made by imitating the invulnerable figure of the powerful figures of the Orc Clan! The opportunity here is made especially for strengthening your Divine Body! I do not have to tell you what kind of trump card you have just obtained! So if you did not get the opportunity here, who else could!” White spoke too quickly for Lyu Liang to fully understand what he meant. When Lyu Liang finally understood, it was not an answer to his question at all. All the divine beasts entered their realms respectively, and ignored Lyu Liang…
Lyu Liang sighed deeply. He knew that it was inconvenient for them to tell him the truth, so he did not ask any more. But there was one more thing he had to do in his life, that was, to destroy the Xuan Ling Engraving Seal for the Fox and Wolf Clan.
Three months later, the ceremony for enrolling disciples was held by the Burning Ridge and the Icy Peak. Lyu Liang dressed himself as a savage man, using a secret method to change his appearance. He wore an outfit made of beast fur, had thin hair and a beard, and only his eyes could be seen from the outside.
Since the Little Sword came, the soul of the Kunwu sword was enjoying the feeling of experiencing sweet rain after a long period of drought, and meeting a long-lost friend in an alien land. Usually he would stay in the space of the Weapon Incantation as a follower. As long as Lyu Liang did not use the sword, the soul of the Kunwu Sword would stick to Little Sword and Xuanyuan. He did not care whether the body of the sword would be held at all.
Little Sword and Xuanyuan quite favored this new-comer, and sometimes even told the soul something about the way of upgrading of the soul of magic treasures. This was what Lyu Liang would like to see, because finally he would benefit from it!
“In the Nether Big World, strength is most respected. If you can show an absolute strength which is superior to others, you will definitely be selected by the Icy Peak. What’s more, your initial status will not be low, which will be helpful for your actions later!” Before Lyu Liang left the Fox and Wolf Tribe, Hu Wu especially reminded him.
“Senior White, Senior Swallowing Spirit, the way to destroy the Xuan Ling Engraving Seal… ” There are two elders in my family, and why not ask them?”
“Kid, you are asking the right person! Among White’s brothers, there is an expert in destroying the spell of Divine Soul!” Swallowing Spirit gave him a clue, which brought Lyu Liang’s attention to White.
White whispered, “Actually you have seen this brother before. Do you still remember the mysterious bearded man? The black monkey on his shoulder is ranked No.9 among our brothers, and is called Soul-swallowing Beast. His inborn talent is to swallow souls and break barriers. Anything that is related to souls is controlled by him. If you have a great opportunity in the future and get his help, it will be a piece of cake to destroy the Xuan Ling Engraving Seal.”
Lyu Liang silently remembered his words, and then he turned all his attention to the enrolling ceremony of the Icy Peak.
Three days later, Lyu Liang reached the foot of the Icy Peak. It was a wonderful peak shrouded with snow. The snowflakes that fell constantly, was actually a great restriction formation.
Lyu Liang was fully prepared before he came over! The secret realms he brought and the sensitive magic treasures, were all hidden by the shadow skill of Black.
When he came to the ceremony, although it was too crowded, at least over one hundred people were already there. The most important thing was that the cultivation of these people was different. Some were at the Late-stage of the Void Return, and some at the Early-stage of the Supreme Master. Such a big gap of cultivation level, raised Lyu Liang’s curiosity about the standard of enrollment, set by the Icy Peak.
“Ah!!!” A shrill scream broke through the quiet snow scene, and also interrupted Lyu Liang’s meditation. When he turned around, he saw the broken body of a middle-aged man in gray, and a blue-robed man who was smirking, walking toward him, blood dripping from the sword in his hand.
“You clean it up by yourself!” Under the Icy Peak, the two gatekeepers were at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal period. When they saw this scene, they did not seem to care at all. One of them reminded him lightly, and then even stopped looking at this side.
With splendor flashing from the hands of the blue-robed man, the land became a land of snow again “Hey, how dare you be so proud, with such low powers. You really want to die?”
The fist was the truth!
Lyu Liang nodded his head, and withdrew the tinge of sympathy he felt. He finally formed a right attitude toward the road he had chosen: You die, and I survive!
After two hours, the number of people gathered in the square numbered nearly five hundred. When a bell rang for some time, several white lights flashed under the ice peak, which incarnated into figures of varying heights. Although the appearances were different, they all revealed an unparalleled sense of superiority in the world!
“Now the ceremony will start! I will give you one last chance to quit! 30 minutes!” An arrogant, handsome young man, clad in a white robe, came out, and his loud voice shook the snow around them.
Within 30 minutes, no one left. Obviously those who were here, had all made up their minds to enter the Icy Peak.
“Good! The combat power of our Icy Peak in the Nether Big World is ranked among the top ten! So it will be a wise choice to enter our sect! However, not all of you are so lucky, and it depends on your ability!” The young man glanced over the crowd, and a sneer appeared from the corner of his mouth. “Now, even if you are a dragon, you still have to exert yourself. Activate the array!”
As the young man shouted, the original white snow in the sky instantly turned bloody red, and the whole world seemed to become a bloody dilemma…
At the same time, several people from the Icy Peak who had appeared with the young man, flashed out. Ten of them formed a group, thus forming ten circles in different places. All those who would be participating in the test, including Lyu Liang, found that there was a white light shining at their feet. After a while, they appeared in different circles.
Along with the process, the disciples of the Icy Peak who formed these circles flashed with light again. A dense fog appeared, and shrouded the people inside these circles.
While Lyu Liang was wondering what was happening, he felt his Divine Soul suddenly stirring. And then, his cultivation began to decrease uncontrollably, and finally it stopped at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal period!
“Ah! My cultivation!”
“What happened? What happened?”
……
Lyu Liang could not see what was happening in the other circles. But inside his circle, there were a total of 40 people, most of whom had terrified looks on their faces. It seemed that only a few of them knew what was happening. Although their faces remained calm, inside their bodies, the attacking aura had already been produced, and was about to burst out.
Lyu Liang felt startled in his heart, because he noticed that some of the people glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally. The glances seemed to be careless, but it was already full of killing intent.
Then, the words that filled the participants with terror on the spot, sounded, “Next, the ceremony of entering the Icy Peak begins! Only one person inside each circle will be qualified to enter the Icy Peak! The selection method is that you kill each other! At present, under the effect of the restriction formation, your cultivation are all at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal period. So, go ahead and fight without any scruples! The one who survives is the one we really need! Start!”
Along with this cold and ridiculous sound, all the circles were instantly turned into a bloody purgatory!
The scope of the circle was less than three hundred meters in width, and with this sudden and strange command, some people, totally unprepared, had already been attacked by those cultivators who knew the ropes well!
The raucous sounds of yelling and screaming came from all around…
“Ah!” Lyu Liang issued forth a wild yell, in order to match his wild appearance. Although he was shocked, he, too, began to fight.
Reality was always the best teacher!
In the beginning, Lyu Liang would pick those who took the initiative to attack him. But later, when everyone started to kill crazily, the primitive wildness inside Lyu Liang’s heart began to be stimulated!
At this moment, if he could not survive, he would die!
Such a small scope was simply tailored for Lyu Liang! Affected by the restriction formation, even if powerful magic treasures appeared, it would not threaten the Divine Body which was not affected by the fight.
After Lyu Liang killed nine people almost in an instant by using his fierce fist, a hoarse but crazy voice sounded in the circle, “We will kill him together! His constitution is too strong. If we have a one-on-one fight with him, we can’t defeat him!”
Although they were crazed with killing, they did not lose their minds. The overwhelming iron fist of Lyu Liang could kill one person, at a blow. Even if no one shouted, the others would not allow him to continue!
Therefore, all the attacks turned on this savage, who seemed to be innocent, but was actually terrible!
Lyu Liang had no choice, but to brandish his fist to meet the challenge! After 30 minutes, he turned into a man covered with blood!
At this moment, Lyu Liang suddenly felt relieved. He finally understood why Yang Ying cherished everything in the Zi Tong Sect, and why Wen Ying would rather protect the people who went the Nether Big World, even at the expense of her life!
“If this is the iron rule of the Nether Big World, then even if I can’t end this situation, I must make everyone’s expectations and wishes come true!” Lyu Liang made up his mind and in the interim, a golden light flashed over his body. After giving a big shout, he shut off his mind and released all the wildness in his body. At this point, he was completely incarnated into a cruel beast, who only knew how to fight!
The red snowflakes fluttered about messily, and the bloody trials were cruel and crazy.
After an hour, one of the circles took the lead to try to restore calm. Inside were a pile of broken arms and legs. A savage who was gasping, stood alone among the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, staring at the lonely and arrogant icy peak…
………………………………
At this moment, at the peak of the Icy Peak, many people had witnessed the brutality of that savage man…
“It took only one hour. No one has ever been so fast in the past two thousand years! Should I enroll him as my disciple?” Inside a hidden chamber, a white-robed hunched back old man squinted and fumbled with his beard. He looked at the situation below, murmuring to himself, with a kind expression.
After a while, he suddenly grabbed his head in pain. Gradually, the color of his hair turned black and when he raised his head again, the kindness in his face had totally disappeared, leaving only an expression of cruelty and evil, “Hey, if this kind of constitution is used for refining medicine, it will be a good choice! I have to hurry, or else the others will be the first to take him away!”
……
Inside a gorgeous cave residence at the peak, a young man, who wore a half-face mask, took a glass of wine from the maid by his side. He gently swirled the wine in the glass, and then sniffed it, saying to himself, “The one that should be here is really here, so what should I do next?”
The maid who poured the wine for him smiled and said, “If master tries him out, you will know whether he can be used by you or not. How many people can hide their secrets under an evil statement?”
……
Among the three Tao Ancestors in the Icy Peak, Frost master was the only female Tao Ancestor.
Inside a dark prison in the residence, a figure curled up in the corner, was suddenly shocked. Then it climbed quickly up the small narrow window, trying hard to see what was happening under the mountain. But unfortunately, what it could only see were the red snowflakes.
After a while, a soft scream could be heard, revealing a feeling that was somewhat scared and somewhat expectant. Finally, it turned into a soft and helpless weeping…
