Chapter 305 Killing in the Impasse
It was only after Lyu Liang entered the Magic Forest that he felt the real terrifying sense of the forest!
Previously, Zhao Mingquan said that there were sub-regions and different levels of world here. But when he went deeper, he found that the Power of Law here was really in a mess! Although it was the same region, the Power of Law in it changed all the time, and even the distribution and number of trees inside the region would change with the Power of Law.
The most frustrating thing was that Lyu Liang could not connect with any one person or divine beast, with his Divine Soul. Fortunately, this was not the first time he was in such a situation, and he was quite accustomed to it.
Lyu Liang pulled himself together. He kept in mind Zhao Mingquan’s words, and would go directly to the direction that the indicating aura showed him.
After he did so repeatedly for six hours, and when he once again passed through a dense fog, his brows immediately furrowed.
Because previously, there was no problem in following Zhao Mingquan’s instruction. But at this moment, he had just returned from a cliff, and the indicating aura should point him to another region.
But unexpectedly, this region turned out to be a cliff as well!
After feeling stunned for a while, Lyu Liang retreated immediately. But later he was completely stupefied, because the region he retreated to, also became a cliff!
“What’s wrong with it? It should not be my mistake!” Lyu Liang continued to walk through three regions and finally faced the same cliff. So he had to think carefully about this problem, “Or… it is the mistake of the indicating aura?”
He was absolutely sure that he had gone ahead, following the indicating aura, but why he was facing cliffs on three sides?
No matter where Lyu Liang moved, he had no way to walk out of this place surrounded by three cliffs. Even if he did not go ahead in following the indicating aura, it was still impossible for him to walk out of the place.
While Lyu Liang was stunned by the abyss under the cliff, the region he was in suddenly decreased to the low-level world. When his cultivation dropped to the Peak of the Almighty Immortal period, a bloody, big hand appeared in the Void suddenly and headed directly toward him!
“What?! How is this possible!” Lyu Liang was startled, and then he showed an incredible expression, “The power of the Supreme Master?!”
The bloody big hand actually revealed the power of the Supreme Master! This was almost impossible in a low-level world!
The worst thing was, it indeed did happen!
Without a second thought, Lyu Liang stimulated his Divine Mark and the black net which could prevent the Spiritual Qi, and in the interim, tried to shield himself. It was unrealistic to fight back at this moment, and he could only try his best to protect himself!
“Clap!” With a loud burst, Lyu Liang was directly flung out. Even though he was protected by the black net, he could still feel the pain of his Divine Soul being torn!
At the same time, another big hand, very much like the first one, appeared from his back. Taking advantage of his backward flight, it would directly take off the black net. And this time, Lyu Liang was really shocked!
But he hardly had time to feel shocked when a third hand appeared and slapped him directly.
“Pum!” This strange big hand seemed to have an invincible force. Even if Lyu Liang had the Divine Body, he could sense his Divine Soul getting smashed. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he felt his aura becoming stirred.
At this moment, Lyu Liang was at the edge of the cliff, and below him was a bottomless black whirlpool…
It was the first time that Lyu Liang felt he was so close to death. He believed that if that strange, big hand slapped him again, he would definitely die!
But the expected fourth hand did not come. But not far from the distance, the sound of slow and steady steps could gradually be heard…
“I know, three bloody hands could not kill you, and at most it would bring you to the edge of death.” With this familiar voice, the figure of Zhao Mingquan actually appeared!
“It’s you… Brother Mingquan. why… “Although Lyu Liang was surprised, yet he was not stupid. Based on the words and the time his opponent showed up, he immediately understood that he had been cheated by somebody he trusted!
“To be honest, I can’t bear to kill you… “The expression in Zhao Mingquan’s face was complicated. He sighed and said softly, “It is so rare for the cultivation world to have such a talent like you, and it is a pity… you were not born at the right time!”
Lyu Liang fixed his eyes on him and suddenly he understood. He asked in a low voice, “You just wanted to go with the flow when you were being controlled by the Blue-soul Blood? The indicating auras you gave us were of no difference, but when I entered the Magic Forest, I seemed to feel in an instant that this aura was mixed with the aura of the masked woman… Now, can you tell me, who on earth are you?”
Somehow, Lyu Liang resumed his calmness. Also he was reluctant, yet he knew that if he did not meet special opportunities, perhaps he would not leave this place alive…
Zhao Mingquan waved his head and said, “What I can tell you is that I am with Kong Liang. And this is the only thing I can say to you. As your senior brother in Tianshu Pavilion, I should apologize to you. But in terms of another identity, I should kill you! The aura I infused into your body had successfully surpressed most of the power in your Divine Body and your Divine Soul. Or else, I was not sure whether I could control you just by using the three slaps.”
“If you had given me one more slap just now, I am afraid I won’t have the chance to talk to you. Why did you stop?” Lyu Liang smiled bitterly, as he saw the absolute killing intent in his opponent’s eyes.
At this moment, it was hard for Lyu Liang to even stand up. and even the Tianxuan Holy Rattan had lost its function. Any cultivator above the Gold Core period could put him to death, let alone Zhao Mingquan.
But Zhao Mingquan sighed deeply to the sky and revealed some painful expressions in his face. He said in a muffled voice, “I do want to kill you, but I can only kill your second life. As for the first one… I cannot bear to kill… ”
This time, it was Lyu Liang’s turn to be stunned. His opponent’s words was so confusing. But when he wanted to asked for more information, Zhao Mingquan finally took action!
Along with the attack from three golden lights, Lyu Liang felt extremely pain and his Divine Soul actually broke. The next moment, he had become a mortal on the verge of death!
Zhao Mingquan continued to wave his hand. With the blow of his palm, Lyu Liang, who had no power to fight against him, was directly pushed over and into the bottomless abyss…
When Lyu Liang’s figure disappeared completely in the black whirlpool, Zhao Mingquan looked blankly at the place below the cliff and murmured to himself, “You won’t die, but have to drift in this world forever… After your life ends, you will die. In this way… Little Ying, hopefully you can understand, my love… ”
……
At the same time, at the location of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, Nie Qingyun was already at the highest pavilion.
“I will put this across directly. This time, I am here because I want to go to the west, where there are some people I want to save!” Nie Qingyun paused and cupped his hands to show his respect, “I have to trouble your majesty again, and it is so uncomfortable because you do not allow me to call you ‘benefactor’”.
The bearded man smiled and said, “Don’t be too particular about the title. I am delighted because you chose to go to my place. Take it easy, and we can set off whenever you want.”
“We? You will go together? “Do you want to make it awkward for my Master?” Nie Qingyun was stunned. He believed that the relationship between the man in the front and him did not necessarily mean that he also had a good relationship with Lyu Liang.
The bearded man nodded and said, “Yes, I will go too. But don’t worry, I have no conflict with your goal, or, actually we have the same goal.”
Nie Qingyun was used to this kind of blurred answer, so he did not bother to ask again. He pointed to his chest and said, “Here, there are over a hundred people who I have to bring out. Before I go to the west, I have to put them in a safe place, so can you help me? I have assured my Master that I will never let them get hurt!”
Looking at the serious face of Nie Qingyun, the bearded man also said seriously, “Take it easy! As what I have said, your affairs are also my affairs. You can just put them in the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, and I swear by my life that I will also do what you have promised your master!” After saying that, he immediately made the life-bonded oath, giving Nie Qingyun no time to answer him.
Nie Qingyun cupped his hands and bowed deeply to him, “Although I don’t why you did so, yet I will never forget all the help you have given me!”
“Now that we have agreed, then I will immediately arrange to bring those people to a safe place. Later, we can set off, whenever you want.” The bearded man nodded and then pointed to the light gate behind him, “Before we set off, I hope you can go and see a person first. Since you have so many questions, you can get the answers to some of the basic questions from this person, though not all the questions.”
Nie Qingyun’s eyes suddenly brightened, and a tinge of excitement flashed over his face. He bowed to him again respectfully and could not wait to enter the light gate.
After witnessing Nie Qingyun’s departure, the bearded man first nodded with a smile, and then his eyes turned cruel. A blue spiritual talisman appeared before his face. The moment he smashed the talisman, he said in a muffled voice, “Hellfire Red Locus, enter the preparation period of the first activation!”
At the same time, Nie Qingyun, who was inside the light gate, was looking at a handsome white-robed young man. Somehow he found this man to be quite familiar!
“You… we must have seen each other before!” Nie Qingyun stepped forward and stared at the handsome face of the young man. The sense of a most familiar stranger came to him again.
“The water has broken through and the clouds dissipate; the knife waves cruelly over the chilly snow; the heaven and earth are damaged; the sword is broken, leaving only the setting sun…” The white-robed young man murmured to himself and gradually revealed an air of excitement. Suddenly he knelt and said loudly, “Paying respects to milord Shenhuang! I am Donghuang Chongyun, your servant!”
Nie Qingyun was initially startled. When he heard the voice of this man, he could instantly recognize it. He was the mysterious man who had helped him to escape from the Magic Forest! And he was also the powerful figure who had given him the cave residence opportunity and the tiger-headed divine knife in the Mortal World!
But hardly did he have time to ask about something, when he was stricken by an overwhelming dizziness, along with the words said by the young man.
In his dizziness, he faintly saw a picture which he seemed to have seen before. It was the same burning black volume of books, and the same messy people. However, compared to the previous one, the whole scene seemed to be much clearer…
