Chapter 229 - Resurrection of Dead Spirits
Chapter 229: Resurrection of Dead Spirits
At this moment, Lyu Liang arrived at a barren place with the girl. Feeling no auras from enemies around 30 kilometers, he put the girl down onto the ground and said softly, “Don’t move. I will help you break the restriction formations.”
Then, with the help of Black and Little Tian, he removed the three covert restriction formations on the girl. As such, he was able to let her stay in the cave residence.
“Thanks for your help! Or, I might have died!” A croaky drawl sounded, which, combined with a delicate, bashful face, astonished Lyu Liang directly.
“Are, are you a boy or a girl?!” Lyu Liang asked subconsciously, but then, he felt sorry for his impoliteness and added hastily, “I am sorry. I don’t mean to offend you…”
The “girl” gave an awesome, silvery laugh and said, “Don’t joke with me. I am a standard man! However, I like a manly guy like you! Oh yes, I am Xuanli Xieyue. When I traveled outside, I entered the Devil Realm by mistake and was thus chased by those evil men. Thanks for your help!” Then, he greeted Lyu Liang gracefully, placing his hands below his right chest and bowed, bending his knees slightly.
“You, you are welcome. I am Lyu Liang, and I also have some connections with the Xuanli Clan. We can’t stay here for too long. Fairy… Er, please stay in my cave residence for the time being!” Lyu Liang stuttered. This was the first time that one person had given him such a great sensory shock!
As long as this guy remained silent, he looked exactly like a delicate girl. But once he spoke… of course, especially when he admitted that he was a male, Lyu Liang could not help but have goosebumps all over, no matter how firm his Taoist Heart was.
“This is a big world, tolerant of various strange things! Everyone has the right to choose who they want to be!” Lyu Liang had to comfort himself in this way. Although he still felt somehow embarrassed when he saw Xuanli Xieyue, he felt much calmer now.
After Xuanli Xieyue entered the cave residence, Lyu Liang disguised as a young man of the Devil Clan again. Then, he recalled the route from his memory, and flew to the Anye Clan.
After half an hour, Lyu Liang finally came back to the Heavenly Devil Pavilion, where Zhu Yu and Nie Qingyun had been waiting.. Seeing that Lyu Liang was alone, Nie Qingyun asked, “Master, where is sister Jiawen?”
“She’s not back?” Stunned, Lyu Liang frowned tightly. Then, he brought Xuanli Xieyue out first and said hastily, “This is the disciple of the Xuanli Clan. He came here by mistake and was chased by the people of the Anye Clan. Please take care of him. I have to go and find Jiawen!” After he had finished talking, and not heeding the astonishment of his companions, he rushed out hurriedly.
Lyu Liang knew that, when he saved Xuanli Xieyue, Liu Jiawen had been helping him secretly. Therefore, he only had to deal with Anye Feng, and the other two people must have been drawn away by Liu Jiawen.
Lyu Liang was anxious to save her, because the Devil Realm was a strange place for them, where enemies were scattered everywhere. Besides, when he was chased after by the three people, Xuan warned him of the danger several times, which meant that they were definitely not easy opponents! But when there was only Anye Feng, his fear disappeared! That suggested that, among the other two people, there was at least one exceptionally formidable enemy!
Lyu Liang went out of the Heavenly Devil and flew to a secluded place. Then, he pulled out a golden paper crane and pushed it up. With a golden glow, the paper crane flew forward in one direction, and Lyu Liang naturally followed it.
It was Liu Jiahao who had secretly given the paper crane to Lyu Liang before he left. There was a soul spirit of Liu Jiawen on it, so that Liu Jiahao could track his sister’s whereabouts. And he gave it to Lyu Liang, so that he could also keep track of Liu Jiawen, in case that she got lost in the Devil Realm.
……………………………………
At this moment, Liu Jiawen was covered by a cyan glow, curling up behind a small tomb, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.
Around her, numerous barriers of different colors were scattered everywhere, and many tombs of various heights were enveloped with a weird blue glow and endless Death Qi. Besides, there were puddles of turbid pools, from which whispers and growls, sounded from time to time.
A green-robed, black-faced young man appeared vaguely, among the tombs. He had a poker face, with Death Qi all over. If he had not opened his eyes occasionally to look at Liu Jiawen, no one would think that he was a living person!
After half an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint sneer crossed his face. Then, his figure faded away.
………………………………
“I have made it very clear, and you still want to go in? This is a weird Death Abode, where even a Tao Ancestor may fail to get out alive! After you enter it, your strength and the power of your magic treasures will decline significantly. In short, you may die directly!” In a serious tone, Xuan explained to Lyu Liang about how dangerous this place was.
“Thanks for your warning. But even if I may die, I have no choice!” Lyu Liang also looked serious, but his eyes were as determined as usual!
When the paper crane flew over the tomb, suddenly with a black flash, it dropped down directly. When Lyu Liang came over, he found that it had turned into an ordinary paper crane, without any psychic powers.
The Death Abode, or the Mortal Place, was a large, watery burial site for a great many dead people.
But this was definitely not an ordinary Death Abode! According to Xuan, when Lyu Liang entered it, his strength would be constrained, and he might even be attacked by exceptionally formidable enemies there. In brief, the situation was totally adverse to him!
Xuan did not speak anymore, while Lyu Liang took a deep breath and directly flashed in.
Just then, a suffocating death aura swept over him, following which, he felt that his cultivation plunging to the Foundation Establishment level!
The Kunwu Sword on his back shone with a blood-red glare, struggling against an unknown invasion. But even so, within several breaths of time, its light faded away, and it became an ordinary iron tool.
After confirming that the power of the divine beasts were not affected, he sighed in relief. But then, White’s words alarmed him immediately, “Boy, our strength remains intact, but the number of times you can make use of us, will decline significantly, because your cultivation has fallen too much! Use the Divine Body Method more. You can probably use our power for no more than three times! Besides, I have a very bad hunch. Beware!”
Just then, the sound of a weird male voice could be heard, “Ho ho, you really came! It seems that this girl is very important to you!”
Lyu Liang remained calm and replied, “Then it was you who tried very hard to get me here! Now that you are here, why don’t you come out and let me see you?!”
“Now that you are a doomed man, what’s the difference between seeing and not seeing? This is such a perfect place for me to stimulate my skills. Just let me show you the despair of death! The Resurrection of Dead Spirits!” As the man roared out, scary Death Qi began emerging unceasingly around him.
At the same time, several tombs began collapsing, and numerous hands made of white, dry bones stretched out from the earth. Within several breaths of time, many skeletons of various heights climbed out. Although they had no auras, Xuan kept sounding the alarm.
“Ho ho ho, how long can you hold on? I am looking forward to your excellent performance!” The cold voice was infused with excitement, this time.
Lyu Liang took a deep breath and his fists were covered with a faint golden glow. With a roar, he rushed in one direction.
The Demon Tomb was so massive that Lyu Liang could not see where the edge was. The Divine Sense was of no use here, so he had to probe around his surroundings in the most primitive way. He was just like a bulldozer, razing away any skeleton in the way.
But after a moment, he felt something strange!
After every skeleton was smashed, it would emit some gray gas. He did not bother about it at first, but when he had killed a certain number of skeletons, he suddenly realized that his vision was getting more and more vague.
“Boy, don’t kill them. Try to escape! The gray gas is some weird matter! Even fifth brother’s Divine Eye Method can’t help you to recover your sight!” White’s warning forced Lyu Liang to change his strategy.
However, the reality was cruel—there were too many skeletons.
“Boss, use the stone egg! It seems to be able to absorb the gas!” As Fatty’s voice sounded, a one-meter-tall stone egg emerged in front of Lyu Liang.
When Lyu Liang threw his arms around the egg, a feeling of freshness swept over him, and his sight became exceptionally clear!
Then, Lyu Liang was surprised to find that this egg was absorbing the gray gas inside his body!
This time, Lyu Liang regained confidence. He held the egg with one hand, and bombarded the skeletons with the other. During this period, all the gray gas were collected by the egg.
“Well?” The man’s voice sounded again in surprise. But then, he said coldly, “I shouldn’t underestimate you. If so, just let me exert my full strength! The Resurrection of Dead Spirits! The second round!”
When the man had just said that, the skeletons around Lyu Liang either collapsed or jumped into the pools!
Lyu Liang glanced around with the Divine Eye, and finally found that, over 30 meters on his right, was Liu Jiawen, covered by a faint cyan glow.
Overjoyed, Lyu Liang rushed there with the egg. As their distance was shortened, Liu Jiawen seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around. When she saw Lyu Liang’s figure, she shook her head anxiously, trying to stop him.
Lyu Liang also saw that, but if he stopped, he would not be Lyu Liang anymore!
However, an incident occurred. Three red skeletons jumped out of the pools around Liu Jiawen, each holding a black sword. Although they had no auras, Lyu Liang knew that they were a great threat!
The three skeletons began hacking ferociously at Lyu Liang from three directions.
Subconsciously, Lyu Liang stretched out his fist, but Xuan sounded the alarm crazily, and a feeling of upcoming death swept over him. Therefore, he stepped back and barely dodged the three hacks. But when he pulled back his fist, it had been slightly touched by a sword.
Lyu Liang’s eyes widened!. He stared at his right arm in astonishment, because there was a gaping wound on it!
This was something that had never happened in so many years! And it was even more unbelievable because Lyu Liang had fully cultivated the Divine Body!
While he was still stunned, with several muffled sounds, numerous skeletons jumped out of the pools, each holding a sword, which shone with a weird, black light. Then, they pounced on Lyu Liang like starving animals.
