The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 193 Final Hit

Lyu Liang returned to his cave residence after midnight. After a discussion with his companions, he settled down gradually.

Although Lyu Liang’s attack might be weaker than that of Huangfu Gang, due to his stimulation of his Fighting Constitution, he was confident about his defence capability.

During the 50 thousand years in the illusion, he had reached the 17th level of Devil Reshaping Technique. Now, he was only a step away from fully mastering it.

As for the cultivation of the Holy Soul Order, he had completed that of his arms and half of his legs. With the power of the Tianxuan Holy Rattan, unless his Divine Soul was broken, he could survive any strong attack.

The cultivator, who could break his Divine Soul, should be at least a Supreme Master, who had powerful magic treasures or Cultivation Methods. The one below this level might defeat Lyu Liang, but basically, would not be able to kill him!

Thinking about this, Lyu Liang finally settled down. Then, he began thinking about his fight against Anye Tianlong.

………………………………

Around noon the next day, when Wine Sword Immortal gave the order, Lyu Liang and Anye Tianlong, stepped into the calabash.

It was the first time that Lyu Liang had met Anye Tianlong. He looked like a human, fair-skinned, with a handsome yet evil face. He wore a loose black robe, and exuded visible True Devil Qi, all over.

“I did not think that my first opponent would be from the dregs of the Xuanli Clan! Good! Very Good! You, a hybrid of human and demon, was able to become a mighty force in the Mortal Realm. You surprise me so much! But, a hybrid is always a hybrid, no matter what Civilization Mechas or divine beasts he has! However, civilization remains are forbidden here, and I understand how your divine beasts work. So, you are no match for me!” Anye Tianlong said aggressively and confidently. He seemed to have a good knowledge of all of Lyu Liang’s secrets.

Although Lyu Liang looked calm, internally, he felt agitated. He had never met Anye Tianlong before, but the latter seemed to know everything about him, including his secrets!

Anye Tianlong was even familiar with the “Civilization Mecha”. As such, Anye Tianlong, as the next leader of the first clan of the Devil Realm, was not someone to be trifled with!

“Humph! Don’t talk nonsense! My strength is not limited to external things. Today, let me show you my real power!” After years of undergoing trials, Lyu Liang had learned to maintain a stable state of mind. Those insults and provocation, for him, were merely negligible twaddle.

All he wanted to do now, was to kill his opponent directly!

Lyu Liang did not lose any time on courtesies, on such an enemy as Anye Tianlong. As the saying goes, he who strikes first will have the advantage. It was the first golden law for any fight in any battle!

Without hesitation, Lyu Liang stimulated the mighty power of the Field Domain and summoned two puppets at the Tao Master level. Thus, the formidable attack began.

“Puppets at the Tao Master level? Humph! I’m prepared for them!” Anye Tianlong did not panic at all. With a sneer, he waved and summoned five, huge, pitch-black, single-horned demons of the same height, who rushed at the two puppets directly.

At the same time, Anye Tianlong exuded blood-red ripples all over, and his fair face was also covered with blood-red streaks. With a roar, he stimulated a blood-red Field Domain, and yet, its scope was much smaller than Lyu Liang’s.

However, when Lyu Liang’s Field Domain struck against that of his opponent, a quivering sensation from his Divine Soul swept over his body. If his power of Divine Soul had not been mighty enough, he would have been wounded by such a sudden attack.

“The Blood Boundary! Boy, protect yourself with the Power of Law. Don’t touch his blood-red Field Domain! He has the Constitution of Boundary, which is one of the Divine Constitutions, and it is the nemesis for all the other Field Domains!” White’s stern voice sounded. Lyu Liang quickly shrank his Field Domain in half!

“Oh? It seems that you do have some strength! But what about this?!” Anye Tianlong was somehow surprised by Lyu Liang’s defence and speed, but then, a hint of cruelness crept into his eyes.

He stretched his arms, and three lathy like white bones, stuck out of his right fist. In his left hand was a nine-ring cane, which was covered by purple smoke. Each of the rings had a little bell attached, and they shone with a majestic, overwhelming glare.

Lyu Liang was stunned at the sight of the cane, as he recognized that it was at the same level as his Kunwu Sword! If he was not wrong, the cane was an absolute high-level Innate Spirit Treasure, that surpassed any Pure-yang magic treasure.

As he expected, although Anye Tianlong belittled him orally, this man treated him as a formidable enemy, internally! As the saying goes, “strategically make light of the enemy and tactically take them seriously”. This was also one of the critical qualities required for the next leader of the first clan of the Devil Realm!

“Soul-deprivation Nine-ring Cane! Boy, it’s time to test your Divine Soul. Those bells will attack your Divine Soul. It’s time to fight a real fight!” Lyu Liang could not agree with White more. He had intended to sound out his opponent first, but now that his opponent had stimulated killing moves, how could he still hide his strength?

“The Sword-Blood Soul Guide!” Lyu Liang summoned the Kunwu Sword. The next second, with a blood-red flash, a gigantic, nearly-130-meter, double-headed tiger appeared, emitting several beams directly at Anye Tianlong. But it seemed fearful of his blood-red Field Domain and didn’t approach it.

At the same time, Lyu Liang set several Xuanyuan Sword Formations ahead, and his left hand began stimulating a complicated handprint.

Keeping White’s warning in mind, Lyu Liang would definitely not get close to the blood-red Field Domain, although its range was not large. The cane was shaking in the air, making a noisy tinkling sound, which made Lyu Liang feel anguish in his Divine Soul.

“Your, your power of Divine Soul has reached above the Heavenly Master level! That’s impossible! How could a hybrid have such a powerful Divine Soul?! I must annihilate you here, and then you can wait for your death!” Anye Tianlong had a serious look on his face.

He knew that Lyu Liang was dependent on his magic treasures and divine beasts. And he had also been warned that Lyu Liang had a powerful Divine Soul, but he had never expected that it was that mighty! That was because Lyu Liang now, was totally different from what he had been, before he entered the civilization remains.

It was definitely the 50 thousand years in the illusion, that caused this situation. During a hundred years in reality, both his cultivation and Divine Soul had improved significantly!

Lyu Liang had put on the Spirit Armor, which exuded the aura of the Middle-stage of Tao Master. In a flash, he appeared to his puppets and the huge demons, who were fighting against each other.

The Kunwu Sword flew up, increased in size, and hacked directly at a huge demon. Without putting up much of a resistance, the demon was cut in half. Then, it turned into black smoke and dissipated in the air.

Anye Tianlong was stunned, and then, he realized that Lyu Liang planned to deal with him with all his strength! Without any hesitation, he rushed at Lyu Liang directly!

The next second, several loud explosions could be heard. The Xuanyuan Sword Formations, which Lyu Liang had set previously, had been triggered! However, Anye Tianlong ignored these and raced through them, unharmed! They would somewhat hinder Anye Tianlong, but would definitely not injure him seriously.

Lyu Liang was stunned, but then, he found the cause—Anye Tianlong was surrounded by a pale, gray fog. Whenever Anye Tianlong touched the Xuanyuan Sword Formation, the fog was there to protect him.

Lyu Liang had seen the same fog when he met Huangfu Gang, for the first time. At that time, Huangfu Gang was also surrounded by an indistinct fog.

After Lyu Liang joined the battle with the two powerful puppets, they killed all, but one of the demons!

Anye Tianlong approached, but before he could take another step forward, a giant blood dragon appeared in the air, spurting a rain of blood at him.

“Godd*mn wild beast! Piss off!” The blood-red glare on Anye Tianlong became much more intense, withstanding the attack of blood rain, which could erode one’s Divine Soul, with his own body. The gray fog seemed to know the power of the blood rain, and disappeared instantly.

Meanwhile, the last demon had been killed by the trio. The next second, the two puppets, who were not worried about Divine Souls, rushed at Anye Tianlong, directly. By then, Lyu Liang had been preparing the Spiritual Qi bomb for nearly one hour already, and at this moment, he threw it across.

Anye Tianlong was startled. He knew that Lyu Liang had multiple combat approaches, but he had never expected that they were as many as that! There was a fierce blood dragon ahead, a giant tiger behind him, two puppets on his left, and Lyu Liang on his right. Basically, he was besieged, and all of them were not easy to deal with.

“Boy, you forced me! Blood-bone Transformation!” Anye Tianlong roared out as his clothes were torn into pieces. After a black flash, an over 10-meter, pitch-black demon appeared! There were long bony spikes, all over his body, which appeared white and ghastly. Then, it pounced on Lyu Liang.

When Lyu Liang threw out the bomb, the gray fog reappeared, and several white bones also started their defence. After an earthshaking bang, the demon merely turned a somersault. Then, he rose and shook his head, before he rushed at Lyu Liang again.

At the same time, the two puppets came at him. But before they could take any action, a sharp, white bone from Anye Tianlong shot out and penetrated both their bodies. The puppets were stuck to the spot and could not move!

“He has activated the demonization move! Don’t fight recklessly. Stall for several hours. He can’t hold on for long. Retrieve all your forces. Don’t waste any unnecessary efforts!” White was calm, as if everything was under his control. “All you need to do, is to attack him with the Soul Breaking Palm, once his aura becomes weak!”

Lyu Liang nodded and called back the giant tiger, the two puppets, and the blood dragon. Then, he flashed over 300 meters away, using the Devil Thunder Wing and the Kun Peng Skill.

Lyu Liang’s behavior confused Anye Tianlong, who wanted to chase after him, but always lagged behind a little. Lyu Liang did nothing at this time, but continued evading Anye Tianlong’s attacks. He did not even release a Field Domain. To the others, it looked like he was trying to escape.

………………………………

However, outside the calabash, none of Lyu Liang’s companions were worried about him as they watched the combat. Zhu Yan and Xu Mubai even began betting on their own battle later on.

“Tangtang, look! Lyu Liang is at a disadvantage, but none of them seem to be worried!” Han Jing frowned faintly, and messaged Han Tangtang, who was chatting leisurely with Liu Jiawen.

“Sister, you’re over-worrying. Look at his friends. None of them are in the least, mediocre people. And Sister Wen is betting with me that Lyu Liang will win! Do you think that she would make such an unworthy deal?” Han Tangtang’s argument was convincing.

Hearing what she had said, Han Jing focused on the battle again. She wanted to see why Lyu Liang did not launch an attack, and what he planned to do after that.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Gang lowered his head, in the crowd, his shoulders shaking slightly. And imperceptibly, his eyes were sparkling with excitement.

………………………………

After half an hour, inside the calabash, Lyu Liang was still doing his escape moves. However, behind him, after an angry roar, Anye Tianlong’s figure became much smaller in an instant. Although he maintained the appearance of the huge demon, his aura had become somewhat weaker.

“Boy, do you think that you can escape in that way? I still… Eh?” Anye Tianlong was in the midst of threatening him, when suddenly he found a giant, golden handprint slamming down directly at him, exuding a horrific, lethal aura.

That was the real first move of the Soul Breaking Palm, which had the power over that of a Tao Master!

Although Anye Tianlong tried to defend himself, he was slammed downwards, and this created a vast hole in the ground. He lay still in it, fear showing in his eyes for the first time. Then, he shouted in a trembling voice, “Fog Devil! You should… I…”

The next moment, before he could recover from the injury, the second handprint hit him. And before he could utter the last word “quit”, his life ended amidst the endless, destructive aura.

After a moment, the smoke dissipated, and the figure of Anye Tianlong disappeared. Finally, this dazzling battle ended in a bottomless hole.

Lyu Liang took a deep breath and gradually calmed himself down. He had won, and all he needed to do, was to search through Anye Tianlong’s soul later on.

But he was not transferred out, and floated about, inside the calabash, alone.

While Lyu Liang was feeling confused, there was a fierce argument going on outside. Although Wine Sword Immortal had announced that Lyu Liang was the winner, Anye Tianlong did not show up.

What did that mean? Some smart people then realized that, if the loser did not come out when the judge had announced the result, he might have died inside! This was a great shock for those who had applied the use of the talisman!

On the platform, the five judges were in a tense discussion.

“How did that happen? Did Anye Tianlong die? Isn’t there a spirit talisman?” Saber-toothed Master frowned. Although he wanted Lyu Liang to be the winner, this result was way beyond his expectation.

“If I’m not wrong, the spirit talisman in Anye Tianlong’s Divine Soul was broken by Lyu Liang’s first palm! And before he could admit defeat, his soul had been destroyed by Lyu Liang’s second palm!” Wine Sword Immortal was also frowning, with a thoughtful look on his face.

“The spirit talisman can’t be broken by an external force, can it? Can Lyu Liang’s palm rival the Law of Heaven? I don’t think so!” Han Jing also put forward her doubts.

“That’s indeed impossible! Even a Divine Ancestor is unable to break the talisman at all! There’s only one possibility—there was something in Anye Tianlong’s Divine Soul that broke it! But one will only allow those trustworthy to infuse into his Divine Soul. It’s so strange!” Wine Sword Immortal’s words made the people even more confused. Could it be that Anye Tianlong didn’t want to live anymore and destroyed the talisman?

After half an hour, Lyu Liang appeared, and everyone stared at the winner, who was unaware of what had happened.

Lyu Liang was slightly stunned by the people’s behavior. Subconsciously, he glanced around and did not see Anye Tianlong!

Just then, Wine Sword Immortal’s slow and solemn voice resounded, “Lyu Liang, how did you destroy the Life-returning Talisman in Anye Tianlong’s Divine Soul?! If you can’t give a reasonable explanation, I’ll have to annihilate you!”

………………………………

At the same time, in the camp of the Dark Night Family, a robust man, who looked like Anye Tianlong, was saying something to the two, who were kneeling below him.

“Just now, I lost the sense of my brother’s Divine Soul. As such, he must have lost to Lyu Liang! Alas! If only dad and brother would listen to me…”

“Master, what do you need us to do?”

“Well, although the organization emphasized that Lyu Liang is special, I must take revenge for my brother! I’ll kill Lyu Liang before I’m punished, even at the cost of death! Go and message our secret pawn that Lyu Liang, must be killed!”
