The Devilish Immortal

In a secret space in the universe, inside the Heavenly Alliance’s headquarters, five old men from different races who looked rather experienced surrounded an oval-shaped crystal ball, and they stared at the dynamic pictures inside it. It was Lyu Liang’s sneak attack on the Wangui Sect.

“Zixu, what do you think?”

“Strong! I have to admit that he does have the talent to be favored by the Wu-Ji Five Lords.”

“Xuan Tian, the little girl from the Liu family already explained the cause and effect. However, you did not ask Ye Tianlong back, do you have other deeper intentions?”

“Hehe, actually, I didn’t plan on acting on him from the start. Otherwise, I would not have sent those two Immortal Generals over. See, aren’t they fine now?”

“You still like complicated things! I was wondering about your relationship with the Wu-Ji Five Lords, and you sent the Eight Immortal Generals to kill two people. It turns out that you were just putting on a show for the people below!”

“Not exactly, I wanted to see how they would adapt to adversity, and they did not disappoint me! An unprocessed jade is not an ordinary stone, no matter how you try, you cannot hide its dazzling light! It seems that we have to make some decisions!”

…

The next morning, Lyu Liang looked at the bright sunshine outside and took out a gleaming purple crystal stone. He nodded and flew away from the Blood Divine Sect.

The night before, he had already explained his intentions to Xu Mubai about going to the Ghostly Fire Palace and finding Yang Ying. After the previous battle, Xu Mubai was no longer so cautious yet he reminded him, “Be careful, your safety is the priority.”

The base of the Ghostly Fire Palace was mainly located near Chilei Country. Usually, it did not invade like the Wangui Sect but it did more of the monitoring and controlling of the area.

Shortly after Lyu Liang flew out of Tianshui Country, he felt a sudden shudder in his Divine Soul. Then his eyesight blurred, and when his vision became clear, he was already in the massive Land of Sea and Clouds.

Lyu Liang did not panic. He seemed to know what was going on, and immediately bowed to the Void in front. “Senior, may I ask your intention?”

At this time, in front of Lyu Liang, a figure emerged. It was the purple-armored young man who had previously disappeared, who frowned and stared at Lyu Liang.

“I am ‘Immortal Wind’ Ye Tianlong, one of the eight Immortal Generals from the Heavenly Alliance. Now, I have to fulfill my mission to arrest you!” While the purple-armored young man spoke, a Three-Tip and Two-Blade knife with a shining golden light appeared in his hand.

Lyu Liang was stunned as he did not expect the other party to say this. He immediately asked, “Senior Ye! Previously, didn’t you mention that…”

“Yes! I had said before that I would bring you back to the Heavenly Alliance after you finished your matters here in this world. However, headquarters sent me new instructions to arrest you immediately! But… nevermind!” Ye Tianlong’s brows were wrinkled, and he seemed to be puzzled about something.

Looking at the determined look of the other party, Lyu Liang’s heart sank and he said solemnly, “In this case, it seems that there is no room for negotiation! However, I cannot be taken away at this time. The Chaotic World needs me!”

After Lyu Liang finished, he pulled out the Kunwu Sword and made a decision in his heart. It seemed that the last 30 minutes of the Sword-Blood Soul Guide would be used up here! Even so, he wondered if he had the chance to escape with his life!

“Hold on! I did not say I would personally arrest you! You don’t have to summon the spirit of the Immortal treasure. It is a waste of energy! I have a puppet at the Early-stage of Tao Master. If you are not killed by it in an hour, I will return to the Heavenly Alliance, and never make things difficult for you again!” Looking at Lyu Liang, who had already bitten his finger, Ye Tianlong waved his hand and said one word at a time.

Lyu Liang was stunned again, then a strange color appeared in his eyes as he asked, “Senior, do you mean what you say? You will let me go so easily?” Lyu Liang wanted to believe him, but his conditions were too weird.

Lyu Liang was not a fool, and he could see the difference between them. Even with the Sword-Blood Soul Guide, he had little chance to survive because the other party’s level was much higher than his. However, if it was only a puppet at the Early-stage of Tao Master, he could give it a try. Anyway, his life would not be at risk.

However, it seemed ridiculous that the Immortal General would let go of him if he won. Thus, Lyu Liang had to figure out the other party’s true intentions.

“Why are you so fussy? I will keep my word. Or do you want me to make a life-bonded vow? I will do what I promised! If you can survive for an hour, I will not arrest you!” Ye Tianlong got impatient and waved his hand. A faceless 55-foot-tall puppet appeared, exuding a devastating aura.

Lyu Liang’s heart skipped a beat, this was the first time that he faced an opponent at the Tao Master level! He stopped thinking about what would happen later and focused on passing this test first!

He was calm as he grinned and put on his Spirit Armor. At the same time, his eyeballs turned gray and purple, and his body shuddered and exuded an aura at the Peak of Almighty Immortal.

Ye Tianlong’s figure had disappeared by this time. The faceless puppet gave out “squeaky” sounds. It shuddered and rushed at Lyu Liang.

Lyu Liang retreated directly, turned around, and fled quickly. He held his Kunwu Sword in one hand, and his other hand kept making some strange gestures.

For a period of 30 minutes, Lyu Liang ran ahead and the puppet chased after him. Though the size of the puppet was big, it was at the Tao Master level. His punches created wind that almost tripped Lyu Liang a few times.

The only thing that made Lyu Liang a bit calm was that his opponent did not seem to have a magic treasure, which significantly improved his safety level.

“Okay, it is almost done, either success or failure will be based on this move!” Lyu Liang’s eyes suddenly beamed and he stopped trying to escape. He punched the puppet, which had caught up with him!

After one punch, a giant 66-foot-tall purple ape appeared and pounced on the puppet. Then, like a ghost, Lyu Liang’s figure appeared behind the puppet and stabbed it with the Kunwu Sword.

“Hey, a puppet at the Tao Master level is not something that you can… Eh? Oh no! Smart kid!” Ye Tianlong stood a thousand feet away and watched. His originally look of disdain suddenly turned serious.

When the tip of the sword touched the back of the puppet, the puppet trembled as if an electric shock had surged through it. It swept out a punch toward its back but Lyu Liang had disappeared.

Not far away, Lyu Liang’s figure reappeared, holding a bloody Kunwu Sword in his hand. He panted and calmed down.

“Kid, the Time-Space Teleport is demanding on the Divine Soul’s power. Not only do you need to have the quantity but also the quality. This move can be used a few times by an Almighty Immortal. Your current cultivation was raised forcefully, so you can only use this move five times at most in a short period. So take your chance!” White secretly transmitted a voice to Lyu Liang, and he nodded gently, planning his next move in his mind.

Although Ye Tianlong’s standard was only to survive one hour, Lyu Liang wanted to try and destroy the puppet! Although he knew he had set the goal too high, it was rare to encounter such a life-and-death battle.

“I know! This guy has entered my Xuanyuan Sword Formation trap, you shall see!” The corners of Lyu Liang’s mouth raised up a little as he rushed over with the sword again!

The puppet had been hit by the sword once and was not in a good state. Even its movements seemed to be a half a beat slower. It seemed to have the spiritual intelligence to directly avoid Lyu Liang’s stabbing!

But before it could make a turn, a devastating Sword Qi mass appeared by its right leg and burst open in an instant. The puppet jerked and staggered back.

Subsequently, the same Sword Qi mass appeared on the other body parts of the puppet, exploding all over.

Lyu Liang appeared behind the puppet again and sharply stabbed it in its back! This stab was different from the previous stab. The sword still gleamed with bloody light, but the tip of the sword had a devastating pressure that was beyond the pressure of an Almighty Immortal at the Peak level. This time, there was no resistance, and the sword penetrated the puppet’s body.

Lyu Liang instantly turned one of his eyeballs golden and the other one purple. When he pulled out the Kunwu Sword, he punched with his left gleaming left fist into the hole, and then traces of purple-golden lightning with devastating pressure emitted from his fist.

The unsteady puppet began to tremble violently when Lyu Liang put his fist in its body. After two breaths’ time, an earth-shattering roar burst out. A while later, the smoke dissipated and the blurry image of the giant purple ape disappeared, revealing Lyu Liang, who was standing upright.

This time, Lyu Liang was gasping, and he still clenched his left fist, which was full of blood. Although he looked a little embarrassed, inexplicable excitement flashed through his eyes!

“I, I did it! I defeated a puppet at the Early-stage of Tao Master! Hahaha!” Lyu Liang laughed loudly, but then shook his head and muttered to himself, “This was just a puppet, it had no spiritual intelligence or magic treasure, I won due to luck!”

At this time, the clouds and mist around Lyu Liang dissipated. Lights flashed, and he reappeared on the bare land outside Tianshui Country. By that time, Ye Tianlong had disappeared.

Lyu Liang observed the surrounding for a while, and then he bowed into the air. “Senior, you are a man who keeps his promise! I want to thank you again! In the future, after I’ve chased out the invaders, I will return to the Heaven Realm to prove my innocence. I will not break my promise!” After that, he made another bow and disappeared into thin air.

30 minutes later, Ye Tianlong’s figure emerged. He had a sophisticated look with a hint of appreciation. He sighed and disappeared as well.

Moments later, Lyu Liang entered the scope of Chilei Country and found a hidden cave to rest in. He wanted to take some time to recover and wait for the night to come so he could investigate. Of course, during this time, he carefully recalled the bits and pieces of the battle…

…

At this time, in Lyu Liang’s portable cave residence, the four chaotic divine beasts and Fatty were gathered. Everyone had a mixture of emotions—excitement, confusion, and so on. Even White, who had been lazy and sleepy, was now full of energy.

“Boss, what happened during Liang’s last stab and punch?”

“I roughly understood that stab. This kid is so smart! He replaced me and activated me an instant, and even creatively integrated the Immortal Thunder move into the punch, what a combat genius!”

“I, I, I know. How, how…”

“Hmm, little monkey, stop it. Listening to you is too tedious, let your boss explain it!”

“That is not an ordinary fist or blood sword stab! At the tip of the sword, there were several miniature Xuanyuan Sword Formations, which acted as a powerful blasting Sword Qi mass that instantly stabbed a hole through the puppet! That punch consisted of a second-worth of Thunder-Lightning Source Power as well as the youngest’s ancient divine power!”

“Liang triggered such a series of dominant moves in an instant. Though I have been with him the longest time, I have to re-evaluate his strength!”

Lyu Liang’s combat power that showed in this battle made his companions, who had been with him for his growth, excited for a while.

Looking at the divine beasts and Fatty, who were still discussing it excitedly, White quietly moved aside. Although he was excited as well, no one saw the trace of thirst in his eyes…
