BXBX NOVEL Chapter 273 The Battle of Diablo: Old Friend
Chapter 273 The Battle of Diablo: Old Friend
The square-faced man competing in the second battle, was obviously more cautious than the one in the first battle. From the start, he used red, green, black and blue shields to protect his whole body, and then several virtual figures of the same size as the previous one, appeared one after another.
After the previous battle, Lyu Liang stopped his ferocious fighting. It was obvious that the four shields were all ultimate-grade magic treasures of the Innate Spirit Treasure!
One should forestall the enemy, or be forestalled by the enemy!
Lyu Liang rushed out in a flash, but not toward the square-faced man. The next moment, the Star-picking Palm and the intensified Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence appeared at the same time, and actually attacked a place over three hundred meters away, at the right side of Lyu Liang.
The seemingly incredible action of Lyu Liang shocked the square-faced man instantly. Later, the man actually disappeared on the spot!
At the same time, a figure appeared at the place that had been hit by the Star-picking Palm and the Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence. It was the square-faced man, who had a reluctant look on his face!
“You can see through my skill of residual image!” The square-faced man exclaimed, but his reaction was also very fast. His body blurred again, and the next moment, he appeared at a distance of over three meters away from Lyu Liang.
This time, it was Lyu Liang’s turn to feel shocked. The body technique of instantaneous flash of his opponent was actually the same with his union with White!
What’s more, the man was obviously aware of Lyu Liang’s strong constitution, so he would probably not approach Lyu Liang.
If so... Lyu Liang smirked. “Don’t want to approach me? Ok, let’s see whose skill is more powerful!”
The Transforming Realm of Ghost Soldier sprang out, and this time, ten Ghost Soldiers were released! As soon as they appeared, they swarmed toward the square-faced man, of course under the protection of the Star-picking Palm and the Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence.
Although the Kunwu sword emerged with the Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence, its shape was much slimmer, compared with that in the Chaotic World, and its power has reached the level of the Eternal Divine Weapon! As long as the Sword-Blood Soul Guide was not revealed, it was difficult for others to associate it with the former Kunwu sword.
Although the square-faced man used the phantom to confuse Lyu Liang many times, yet by relying on the magical power of Little Tian, Lyu Liang was not affected by it, at all.
The only thing that made Lyu Liang wary was a golden awl that emerged from time to time. Every time it appeared, it brought about a sense of extinction. He had to divide most of the powers of the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm and the Soul Breaking Palm, to resist these strange attacks, that even the Divine Body would not dare to resist.
The square-faced man tried to attack Lyu Liang with some powerful magic treasures, but under the seemingly frivolous big hand, all the attacks seemed to be ineffective. On the contrary, the group of Ghost Soldiers attacking from all directions, made it quite hard for him to deal with the enemy.
Of course, even Lyu Liang himself had not noticed that, for his current combat power, even if it was not invincible among those of the same level, yet few had the power to fight against him.
Gradually, the original confrontation turned into a scene where the square-faced man ran in front, and Lyu Liang was chasing after him, from the back.
However, even if Lyu Liang had the upper hand, only he knew what kind of high-intensity Devil Immortal Qi he was suffering from!
Although the restrictions on the union with the Divine Beast of Chaos had been removed to a great extent, since Lyu Liang got the Orc Inheritage last time, the amount of Devil Immortal Qi used in uniting with all the divine beasts, was almost the same as the Devil Immortal Qi consumed in uniting with two divine beasts previously.
However, even so, the continuous use of the combination of instantaneous flashes and shifting was quite laborious. Soon, beads of sweat appeared on Lyu Liang’s forehead.
Even though Lyu Liang exerted so much effort, the square-faced man did not fare any better than him; his breath came in heavy gasps.
Although the spaces between stars were wide, yet they still had their boundaries.
Fifteen minutes had passed since the square-faced man started running away with Lyu Liang chasing after him. When the people outside became tired, a few of them were suddenly stimulated, and came up with the same idea: The winner would be determined!
The square-faced man was originally running ahead crazily, however, he suddenly shuddered to a stop, and had a pained look on his face. Later, he actually stopped running and turned back without any hesitation towards Lyu Liang, with the intention to self-detonate!
The entire light gate space was filled with the aura of self-detonation. All the viewers understood that this man from the Qixuan Sect, would finally self-detonate.
After all the smoke dispersed, the spectators found that the unscathed barbarian had been sent out of the starry space again!
Only a few powerful figures could faintly see that, at the moment when the winner was declared, a black net disappeared from Lyu Liang, and an unremarkable black insect gradually integrated into the body of Lyu Liang...
“Win successively for three times! Win successively for three times!” Countless exclamations echoed in the field, and it seemed that they were looking forward to seeing the person that could win successively for three fights within the past millennium!
“Junior Brother, you have done a good job! Get off the stage! No one wants to be a stepping stone for the person who win three times in a row! If this is the case, then that person will be looked down upon, in the following thousands of years! If you really continue participating in the third round, I am sure that even if you win, you can’t participate in the second round of the test. So please have an overall consciousness!” Feng Mazi seemed a bit anxious, for fear that Lyu Liang would become impetuous, and take the test successively for the third time.
However, even if Feng Mazi did not secretly transmit a voice to Lyu Liang, Lyu Liang would definitely not fight successively for three times. Before this fight, he had decided to take a rest after the fight with the square-faced man, and wait for the second round, and that was why he was so painstaking and resolute in the fight with the square-faced man.
The skill of shifting, as well as the Five Acts of Heaven Soul, had used up much of Lyu Liang’s Devil Immortal Qi and Divine Soul. Even if he had the Tianxuan Holy Rattan, it would still take him half an hour to recover.
What’s more, as expected before the fight, the bottleneck of the Middle-stage of Heavenly Master had been on the verge of breakthrough, so he wanted to use the time to break through the bottleneck!
Lyu Liang could obviously feel that the three from the Qixuan Sect had been stirred by his performance. So if he dared to continue, the next opponent would be more difficult to deal with, than the previous two.
“I won’t fight on, I want to have a rest!” Lyu Liang muttered, regardless of the tsunami-like dissuasion on the platform. He resolutely jumped off the high stage, and went back to his team, with a smile.
“Good! This is a good start! It is a great honor for us! Look, the number of those who have finished their fight in the first test is less than five! Good job!” Feng Mazi was filled with happiness, as if he himself had won the fight. He patted Lyu Liang’s shoulder constantly and stared at him, saying, “Your black net is really extraordinary!”
Hearing what he said, Lyu Liang directly turned his hand over and took the net out. He threw it into Feng Mazi’s hand and smiled, “I got it in an opportunity, and it can prevent moves and manas. Of course it can prevent self-detonation. You senior brothers can use it in the following fight!”
Lyu Liang was sincere. Regardless of his identity as an undercover agent, he was at this moment on the same side as the Tianshu Pavilion squad. Although it had not been difficult for him to win the previous two tests, still he was sure that he was somewhat favored by Lady luck.
Whether it was the phantom detonating technique in the first test, or the shifting and gold cone technique in the second round, they were all powerful attacking techniques. But unluckily they met Lyu Liang’s advantageous skills, and failed to show their power.
“Wow! Thanks for your kindness, but I need to point this out to you. There is an unwritten rule in all the tests that participants are not allowed to borrow magic treasures from each other. Although your black net looks inconspicuous, yet it is a big treasure that exceeds the Innate Spirit Treasure, when viewed by the eyes of those who know it! Put it away!” Feng Mazi’s kindness moved Lyu Liang to some extent.
At this moment, Lyu Liang felt the concern from the senior brothers, which made him feel that that the Nether Big World was not completely evil...
......
Meng Yun participated in the third test. According to what Feng Mazi had said, he was the inborn nemesis of the self-detonating skill, because he had the special body called the Jingang Soul Body, which could be obtained in the same way as the Holy Soul Order!
While meditating how to make breakthroughs in his cultivation, Lyu Liang was watching the fights happening, simultaneously. After all, one of them might be his opponent in the following fights!
He was immediately attracted by the two fights that was going on!
According to what Feng Mazi had told him, one team that was in the fight was from the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, and the one who was fighting inside the light gate, was a blue-robed masked man, who held two knives in his hands.
This man’s movements were dashing and elegant, and the two silver knives he held in his hands seemed alive. They were combined with countless colorful knife lights, forcing the opponent to defend himself and having no power to fight back.
Somehow, Lyu Liang thought of Nie Qingyun, who used to be his disciple, when he looked at this man. However, Nie Qingyun used only one knife, and, if Lyu Liang was right, the lowest level of cultivation of the teams in the test were at the Middle-stage of Heavenly Master.
When he parted from Nie Qingyun, Nie Qingyun’s cultivation was only at the Tao Master level, and it would have been impossible for him to surge to the Heavenly Master level...
The speed of combat on the side of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting was second only to that of Tianshu Pavilion. What Lyu Liang was watching was the second test. After 30 minutes, with the sudden emergence of countless knives, the opponent no longer had the power to resist, and was swallowed up by the endless knives!
The blue-robed man was agile and neat, which was the first impression he gave to the viewers.
Although this young man had already attracted most of the attention from Lyu Liang, yet what really shocked him, was that inside the light gate on the westernmost part, a blue-robed man also wearing a mask, was showing off his incredible skills!
Regardless of the gray defensive fog, or the black long halberd in his hand, Lyu Liang was sure that it was Huangfu Gang, who had left without saying goodbye after the fight in the Devil Realm!
His opponent was not weak. He was a giant demon of about fifteen meters in height, and the move and Cultivation Method the demon used, was also overwhelming.
Although they seemed to be an even match on the field, yet the expression of the demon was one of pain, and the face of the blue-robed youth had a fearless smirk. It was obvious to see which one was more powerful!
After 45 minutes, the neck-and-neck situation was over instantly.
From the perspective of the observers, they did not know why a look of great fear suddenly appeared on the demon’s face. Then, the blue-robed young man pierced the demon’s head with his halberd within a few seconds, and smashed its soul, as if his potential had suddenly been stimulated.
Fight Divine Body! Lyu Liang was even more certain that this man was Huangfu Gang!
When the battle ended, the blue-robed young man went out of the light gate, and immediately turned around as if he had an interaction with Lyu Liang. His eyes met Lyu Liang’s eyes, then he nodded to him, with a smile.
“Oh, that team is the third largest force in the Darkness Country, and they were from Yunxi Cave. It’s ok, because their strength is moderate. They are a bit stronger than the team of the self-detonation, and never participated in more than three rounds of test in the past. As for the masked young man... Well, he should be a new-comer, because I only know the other four.” Hearing gotten the information he wanted from Feng Mazi, Lyu Liang felt confused. “Did Huangfu join Yunxi Cave’s team. So what was his purpose?”
But before he had time to think of an answer, a momentum of aura seemed about to spurt out!
“Senior brothers, I will break through it!” Hardly had Lyu Liang uttered these words, then he sat down, with legs crossed and eyes closed to make the sprint. His three senior brothers hurriedly set up a Bounded Domain around him...
......
Below the stage, the blue-robed young man who had returned to his team, was really Huangfu Gang. At this point, he was negotiating with Fog Devil.
“Fog Devil, did you do it successfully?”
“Master, you can trust me! At that time, that guy was focusing on exploring the information in the Divine Soul of Anye Tianlong. I neither hurt him nor touched him. Surely I got it. But we only have one hour at most.”
“Oh? We only have one hour? Good! That is more than I expected, and it is enough for me to perceive him completely!”
“Master, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but if something should go wrong... That guy can use the Tianxuan Holy Rattan to recover, but we don’t have such a treasure to restore your powers! And we don’t know when the thing that milord arranged, will happen, in case... ”
“Don’t mention it. The opportunity is rare, so I don’t want to wait anymore! If it is really as what you have said, I assure you that I won’t delay the follow-up task!”
“...master, since your mother was rescued, I feel that you have changed a bit.”
“Well? How have I changed?”
“You seem to be less afraid of death than you were before...”
......
On the platform where the powerful figures of the Dark Reign gathered, a bearded, strong man was sitting at the far corner. His cultivation was at the Middle-stage of the Supreme Master, which was so incompatible with the powerful figures, who were at least at the level of the Tao Ancestor, around him.
But nobody would dare to look down upon this seemingly incompatible man, because he was the person in charge of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting currently. It was the second most powerful sect of the Nether Big World. His Taoism Title was Yuefeng Fairy Man.
Moreover, only a handful of people of high status knew that Yuefeng Fairy Man was among the three people, who did not have to pay homage to the Dark Reign. Even the three ancestors of the Tianshu Pavilion did not have this privilege, so one could see how powerful he was.
At this time, although Yuefeng Fairy Man seemed to be watching other games, his Divine Soul was busy communicating with some people.
“What’s the matter! Isn’t it true that there will be no problem with our mark on the bodies of all the participants? Go and check it!” Yuefeng Fairy Man sounded irritated and angry.
“Obeying your command!” A reverent voice could be heard, and then the aura completely disappeared.
The brows of Yuefeng Fairy Man knitted inadvertently. At the same time, Ji Luo Tao Lord in the middle of the platform, also gave a slight frown.
“Sura, originally in addition to Lyu Liang, 8 marks out of the 159 marks indicating masters and servants had been eroded by the Power of Law! I have already asked people to check it, but I am afraid we can’t find the truth before the final test!”
“...I understand! I have already arranged for people to guard against it! If the people of the Divine Imperial Court have really entered our world, they will definitely choose to act in the three consecutive rounds of test. After all, we must have taken the factors of exposition of the mark indicating masters and servants, into consideration!”
“With the character of an adult, even if I advise him not to play, it is absolutely impossible! The law of the year is set on the condition of our absolute obedience, so no one here can stop his determination! I don’t care what you have arranged, but the only option for you, is to win!”
“Please trust me, Venerable Zangetsu! I will not allow these juniors to be so arrogant, even at the sacrifice of my life!”
“I believe in you, but no one can afford to fail! Go and find the Goddess Phantom. I will only feel assured if she can come to our aid!”
