Chapter 349 Sworn Brothers
One and a half hours passed. During this period, the turbulence around the empty Skyhigh Platform attracted a mass of cultivators over.
In the branch of Heavenly Alliance, no one’s skills was mediocre, not even the doorkeeper there!
Although it seemed that nothing unusual happened, the cultivators still sensed the strange atmosphere. It was evident that a top-level figure had set a formidable defense array to cover up the fierce battle inside.
With due self-knowledge, all the visitors stayed over three kilometers away. After all, even the seniors of the Heavenly Alliance turned a deaf ear to this thing. Therefore, although these cultivators were curious, they were also not keen to sacrifice their lives in this situation…
…
At this moment, the battle was still ongoing in the secret space. However, as the tree on Lyu Liang’s chest flourished, his aura started to weaken. Meanwhile, the golden light in his eyes dimmed and then turned blood-red due to the pain and his struggles.
“D*mn it! You’re still holding on?” Li Xiaolang gritted his teeth, with an unstable aura, seemingly making some resolution, “No wonder those guys stressed something like ‘Lyu Liang is very powerful’… Why could they not be more specific? Must I… Eh? Haha, this guy is such a genius!”
As he said that, the particles behind Lyu Liang began shaking. Then, a dark green sword appeared and directly penetrated his chest!
Li Xiaolang jumped 30 meters backward, watching Lyu Liang’s face gradually relax. Then, he asked with a smile, “You knew that this would happen?”
Lyu Liang nodded. Then, his aura slumped, and he fell straight down. The next moment, as a bang sounded, a hole appeared on the ground. Inside it, Lyu Liang was smiling ingenuously with bruises all over his body.
Seeing that, Li Xiaolang smiled a wry smile and heaved a sigh. Then, he dropped and struck a new hole beside Lyu Liang.
“Th-thank you for your help!” Turning hard, Lyu Liang wanted to cup his hands but failed, “You not only saved me, but also helped me regain… my consciousness!”
“People entrust their lives to me!” Li Xiaolang shrugged his shoulders and said, “I thought that it was an easy case, but the result was so hard… You’ve just mastered the Field Domain of Prohibition, right? Without the Array of Gathering Treasures to Yang, you might have become ashes!”
“Ah? The Field Domain of Prohibition?” Lyu Liang was confused, but then, he mused, “Although I could not control myself at that time, I remember the process! To win in the shortest time, I infused my Divine Soul with a horror beast’s soul through a secret method. As a result… Ho ho, I’m so sorry to get you into trouble.”
“Ah? You don’t know what the Field Domain of Prohibition is? But fortunately, you had considered such a situation and gave yourself a strong hit when your awareness was at its weakest! Otherwise, I would need to use my trump card, and we would not be lying here and chatting like this!” Li Xiaolang was stunned by Lyu Liang’s reply, but then, he had a look of relief on his face.
“All right, both of you have done a great job. It’s not comfortable to chat like this, right?” Wen Xiaojing’s voice sounded, “At least when you show up in the public, you need to behave as if nothing had happened! Milord array immortal, please!”
After she said that, the Holy Tune sounded again. As the strong array immortal smiled, his hands shone brightly. The next moment, Lyu Liang and Li Xiaolang were wrapped by a scarlet light cover.
“Good boys!” The array immortal exclaimed, “They’re… monsters! Their absorption speed of soul spirit is so unbelievable!”
Li Xiaolang gazed at Wen Xiaojing, who was divinely beautiful. “You’re… so enviable! There are three Golden Flowers in the Sanctuary, and you’re equivalent to two of them… That is quite hard to accept! Ah, sorry, I don’t mean to…” He apologized as he turned to Lyu Liang, suddenly thinking of something.
“Never mind! I’ll get her back sooner or later!” Lyu Liang knew what Li Xiaolang meant. Then, he turned his head and asked, “Is she fine?”
“Yes. She’s just more lonely than before. It seems that the Lethe Water did not totally suppress her thoughts of you. At least I believe that Soul Shadow won’t have any chance! Besides, after having this experience, that arrogant guy will learn to restrain himself. Please forgive me for not letting you kill him. If you had really done that, you would be in great trouble.” Seeing that Lyu Liang remained frank and confident, Li Xiaolang had an approving look on his face.
“You’re right. I don’t have the right to kill him. So, thank you again! Oh yes, you like Xiaojing, too?” Noticing Li Xiaolang’s behavior, Lyu Liang asked subconsciously.
But then, both of them were stunned.
Lyu Liang asked himself, “Why did I say ‘too’?”
While Li Xiaolang, being more excitable, almost jumped up. Blushing, he stammered, “Non-nonsense! I, I just, just a-admire her!”
Li Xiaolang’s embarrassed look left Lyu Liang with a good impression. This man not only saved him, but was just as honest and frank as himself.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Wen Xiaojing said lightly, and then, she muttered, “One fool has been worrisome enough, and now there is a pair… Please don’t spread your stupidity to each other!”
During the last two hours in the array, the two remained silent in the holes, with embarrassed looks on their faces…
Finally, when the strong man became much thinner, Lyu Liang and Li Xiaolang, who had recovered their energy, appeared in a flash.
“Well… You’re so alike!” Having stopped playing the tune, Wen Xiaojing looked at the two with interest. Then, she proposed an unexpected suggestion, “Both of you are silly, both of you are inheritors of the Holy Soul Order, and both of you have finished the ultimate cultivation of the Divine Body… Why don’t you become sworn brothers?”
Stunned, Lyu Liang realized Wen Xiaojing’s intention at once: She was allying him with a formidable, distinguished figure.
Of course, even if it was not for this reason, Lyu Liang was also ready to forge brotherhood with this new, congenial friend.
Li Xiaolang directly turned to Lyu Liang and asked with eyes that lit up, “What do you think?”
“Of course!” Lyu Liang knelt without hesitation.
“Haha! Great! I’m older than you, so I’ll be your elder brother!” Li Xiaolang also knelt.
Then, with the sky being their witness, they took an oath of Natural Law, and finally became sworn brothers.
“Brother, I’ve finished my task here, and now I have to return to the Divine Ancestor Palace.” Being more forthright with this brother, Li Xiaolang said seriously, “You never lack enemies! But now, you must pay special attention to these two powers, because they even have the strength to rival the Hell Organization! Of course, if Immortal Six Tao were here, they would not have a chance to make waves!”
“Oh?” Lyu Liang frowned subconsciously. No one would be happy to have two big powers as his enemies.
“One is the Buzhou Mountain. The Body of Ancestor was from them, although my doppelganger has killed it. The other is the Pan Gu Cave… Eh, time is up! Brother, the Divine Ancestor Palace is calling me. I have to leave now! Wen Xiaojing knows about this, so you can ask her! I look forward to meeting you in the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa. Take care of yourself!” After saying that, he glowed with a bright golden light and directly disappeared.
Lyu Liang cupped his hands at the void, and then, he walked to Wen Xiaojing.
“These two powers are indeed unusual…Eh?” Just as Wen Xiaojing was about to say something, a great force hit on her head, then she leaned against Lyu Liang’s chest.
“I won’t let you make any sacrifices for me again!” Lyu Liang said firmly. Although he could not control himself at that time, he had everything engraved in his mind.
“Eh…” Wen Xiaojing was stunned, but then, her eyes softened. Meanwhile, inside her heart, something seemed to have sprouted secretly…
…
At the same time, inside a massive space fault, there was a bleak place with an ancient, stark well. However, there was a different world inside the well…
“How? Did that second help you make up your mind now?” Liu Jiatan asked. In front of him was a 10-meter-tall demon with three eyes and four arms!
If Lyu Liang had been here, he would recognize this monster as the same one who stood beside the red-robed female and the old man in the civilization remains!
“Yes… Although it’s just a second, it seems to be enough!” “Although I did not feel his aura, only the one of Prohibition could have such golden eyes. So, there’s nothing to question now! I did not expect that one of Prohibition would appear after the Demon Origin Mountain was destroyed! As such, he must know that Cultivation Method!” The monster nodded, and then, he asked meaningfully, “But I don’t understand why you came to me, after making Buzhou Mountain known to the public!”
“Why? You know my real identity! Our Ancestor regards Lyu Liang as an unstable factor in the plan, so we just want to clear this hidden trouble!” Liu Jiatan shrugged his shoulders and said resignedly, “But as you could see, the Immortal General was badly injured, and the Bug Demon died. If Ancestor Candle Dragon could lend me more Bodies of Ancestor, I…”
“I see. Candle Dragon just wanted to make sure of something. And now, since he’s found the answer, he would soon take action! After all, I can understand this feeling of urgency that springs from desperation!” The monster’s eyes lit up, but then, he said in a low voice, “However, we’re different! Even though I know where it is, I’ll confirm once more what the result would be if I launch attacks! Besides, I don’t want to be used to achieve some filthy aim!”
“Please feel free to do so. I just came here to pass on the message! Ancestor asked me to kill Lyu Liang, and I just want to finish this task!” Feeling the strong murderous intent from the monster, Liu Jiatan smiled a carefree smile and said, “This guy is in the middle-level world, and we can’t find a suitable candidate to kill him. Naturally, we hope that we two powers can support one another! This is not considered as ‘use’. We just take what we need from each other!”
The monster stared at Liu Jiatan, and the latter held his stare. After two breaths of time, both of them looked away and laughed wildly.
“So that’s a deal?” Liu Jiatan rose and said, “If so, I did not come in vain. If you need any help someday, I’ll try my best to do that! See you!”
“Okay! Goodbye!” The monster nodded and waved his hand.
After a while, Liu Jiatan’s figure emerged 30 kilometers away. He sneered at the darkness inside the fault, smashed a gray talisman, and said in a low voice, “The Pan Gu Cave will definitely follow the Buzhou Mountain! But the situation with the Nyu Wa Sea is somewhat different, and… are you really sure they are also involved? That Goddess Nyu Wa is not someone who…”
But as a voice sounded from the Voice-messaging Talisman, Liu Jiatan gradually had a resolute look on his face, “You’re right… We can’t bet on them. If so, just drag them into the mire! What we need to do is to achieve our aim. If we really misread their intentions, I will apologize with my life!”
