Chapter 61 The Fifth Move of Heart Swordsmanship

Outside the house, when Lyu Liang dragged the iron sword as he came out, the saber-toothed giant beast that had been roaring incessantly suddenly quieted down.

At this moment, Lyu Liang appeared very calm. He recalled the many things that happened in the past and the many things he wanted to accomplish in the future. However, it seemed that now he would not be able to complete any of them. Even though he moved slowly, his steps were not hesitant as he made his way forward.

The fierce beast seemed to stare at him judgementally and surprisingly, it spoke, “You will continue with this fight?”

Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment but continued walking. He smiled back and said, “If we don’t have this battle, can we survive?”

The giant beast shook its head and said, “You do have a choice. If you are willing to hand over that little girl, I will not only let you leave here but will give you a big fortune as well. How’s that?”

Lyu Liang did not stop at all. He replied without even raising his head, “Let’s fight then! If I die, can I sacrifice myself for her to live?”

The giant beast suddenly stretched and lifted its front paw. A wave rippled through the air. The figure of Dongfang Xiaoyu suddenly appeared at Lyu Liang’s side. She was lying down with her eyes closed.

Lyu Liang was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to protect her. His calm eyes suddenly glittered like a fierce beast that threatened to devour everything in front of him. He gritted his teeth, “What are you doing! Are you afraid to face a disabled man like me? How dare you put my companion in danger! No matter how powerful you are, as long as I am alive, you will never touch her!”

The giant beast kept calm and then tempted him again, saying, “I will give you another choice. It will still result in her death, but as a reward, I will resurrect your mother, how about it?”

“What!” Lyu Liang’s body trembled, staring at the giant beast in disbelief and asked it earnestly, “Do you know my secret? You have the secret method to ‘Rebuild the bones and revive the dead’?”

The giant beast seemed to be satisfied with the current state Lyu Liang was in and it smiled, “Of course! Once you move aside and let me swallow this girl, everything that I just said will become a reality! I can also tell you the whereabouts of your Master! How about it, aren’t these the ultimate goals in your life?”

“I… I want you to die!” Suddenly, Lyu Liang, who was initially stumbling, shot towards the giant beast like a flying arrow. He lifted the iron sword and slashed strongly at its front paws!

“Stupid!” The giant beast gave deafening roar, then lifted its front paws and swiped at Lyu Liang. “Kuang,” with a loud noise, Lyu Liang flew backwards and landed at the side of Dongfang Xiaoyu. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Stupid! Don’t you see it, even if you are intact, you can never be my opponent! You want to get the fortune but not pay the price? This is the last chance for you to back off!” The giant beast was furious. With every word it uttered, the ground trembled slightly.

“Back off? If I do as you say, even if my mom comes back to life and I found my Master, what I have done will kill them again! Even with my own will, I will never do that! Come on! Merciless Heaven and Earth! Take Everything as Dogs! You may be the master here, but you are just a slave outside!” Lyu Liang shakily stood up again, stood in front of Dongfang Xiaoyu, dragged his sword and moved ahead.

Lyu Liang didn’t notice that Dongfang Xiaoyu, who was lying behind him, had burst into tears. However, her eyes were still closed and her lips quivered slightly and she couldn’t make any sound.

Suddenly, golden light radiated from the eyes of the giant beast. Dongfang Xiaoyu, who was lying on the ground, started sliding towards the beast.

Under the shocked gaze of Lyu Liang, the triumphant voice of the giant beast said, “Kid, do you think that there is no other way even if you refuse to back off? I shall tear her into pieces in front of you and let you see how what a stupid choice you have made!”

Looking at Dongfang Xiaoyu who was inching closer and closer to the giant beast, Lyu Liang had a crazed look on his face. He howled angrily, lowered his head and suddenly he began to tremble violently.

Just as the claws of the giant beast were about to reach for Dongfang Xiaoyu, suddenly, a virtual human shadow appeared in the air. It struck out at the forepaws of the giant beast with lightning speed.

“Arghhh!” The giant beast howled loudly as its forepaw had actually been lopped off. At the same time, it was flung back a few meters in an instant. Then, it stared at Lyu Liang who was nearby and said, “Virtual Sword Status! This is…incredible!”

At this moment, Lyu Liang’s eyes were half-closed and a burning mark gleamed on his forehead. His body was floating in the air; he stretched his arms forward and placed his two palms together. Although he still had the aura of a mortal, countless virtual human shadows constantly emerged from his body, some slow, some fast. But the fast- moving shadows were only after one goal – the saber-toothed giant beast in front of them!

The giant beast had a solemn look and suddenly it exuded a strong Demon Qi that was visible even to the naked eye. The Demon Qi quickly turned into a light green shield which protected itself.

At this point, the many virtual shadows there constantly rammed against the green shield and even though no auras could be felt, the light green shield would tremble violently with each collision.

The giant beast’s solemn gaze changed to one that was full of praise. Then, it nodded slightly, “You are good! For the past ten thousand years, you are the first person who can fight against the cultivation of my Divided Soul!”

Then, the giant beast’s body emitted a golden light and it gradually shrank in size. Finally, it turned into a green-robed bald old man, who had a benevolent air about him. The only weird thing about him was the long tusks growing from both sides of his mouth. He grinned at Lyu Liang, raised his arm and said, “Quiet!”

As the voice of the old man rang out, the virtual shadows that were hitting the shield suddenly disappeared. Lyu Liang regained his consciousness. At this moment, he was badly bruised and fell to the ground. Finally, he sat up and stared curiously at the strange old man.

“In fact, in the face of such an adversity, you realized you have the ‘Virtual Sword Status’. You will definitely have unlimited achievements in the Sword Tao in the future! Also, for the time in the past ten thousand years, you are the first person to rely on your actual cultivation to fight against my remnant soul! Moreover, it is rare for one to have such a pure and determined mind. Good, very good!” The eyes of the old man were full of praise and appreciation.

Lyu Liang now understood. It turned out that this was a test set by this Demon Clan senior. He heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the pain which had temporarily receded due to all the nervous tension swept over him like a tidal wave. It was so intense that he gritted his teeth. After a while, he responded, “Thank, thank you senior for your mercy! So did we pass the test?”

The old man laughed and nodded, “Stupid kid is righteous and the pretty girl has love, you passed, you all passed!” Then, he raised his hand and smiled slyly at Lyu Liang.

While Lyu Liang was still confused by the sly looks of the old man, a figure suddenly pounced on him and pushed him to the ground. He felt a sudden pain in his arm.

Lyu Liang hurriedly turned to take a look and found that it was Dongfang Xiaoyu, crying bitterly and biting his arm. It seemed that she would not stop until she had bitten off his arm.

Lyu Liang patted her little head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, “Little fairy, aren’t you a little too fierce? Though I survived, I might just die from your bite.”

When Dongfang Xiaoyu heard these words, she raised her head instantly and stared at Lyu Liang fiercely. She gnashed her teeth and said, “I am fierce? Who lied to me and knocked me down! You are the only hero, huh! The senior gave you such good conditions. Why didn’t you agree? Did water get into your brains or did an idiot take over your brains? You are so stupid that there is really no hope for you.”

As her voice rose and fell, she constantly pummelled Lyu Liang with her fists. Then, he smiled and asked a question that caused Dongfang Xiaoyu to break down once again, “What is Soul Overtaking?”

Looking at Lyu Liang who was standing so innocently in front of her and asking that idiotic question, Dongfang Xiaoyu was stunned at first. Then she suddenly hugged him and burst into tears again.

The old man laughed as well, then shook his head and said, “You really don’t know what Soul Overtaking is? But you have such a high quality sword status. You are such a geek! Well, it’s time to let you know your fortune. Let me see it first!” The old man touched his bald head and smiled at the two people in front of him. Then he seemed to be satisfied and nodded. He pointed his finger at Lyu Liang.

“Sure enough! Let me talk about you first. Not only do you have a mortal and devil body, but you also have a five-element constitution formed postnatally. For such a fortune, few in the world can surpass you. I see that you also practiced the Demon Clan Cultivation Method, but you don’t have Demon Qi for your usage. I can give you a Demon Core for you to practice the Demon Clan Cultivation Method, will that be good? Of course, the core has only this function. If you want it to develop like your Magic Core, it is impossible! “The old man seemed to be very clear about Lyu Liang’s situation and instantly arrived at the crucial point.

Lyu Liang was overjoyed upon hearing the great news! For a Mantra like the Kun Peng Skill that was both offensive and defensive, he was unable to practice it because of his race. That had always been a problem buried in his heart and now that he had a solution, how could he not feel cheerful?

Lyu Liang had little interest in the heaven-earth treasures. His magic treasures were already strong enough and he knew nothing about those materials used for Treasure Refining, so there was no need to consider that.

Lyu Liang clasped his fists, made a bow and said respectfully, “Senior, thank you! I shall have this Demon Core!”

The old man nodded in approval and waved his hand. A Demon Core exuding a strong Demon Qi was integrated into Lyu Liang’s body in a blink of an eye.

Lyu Liang checked and found that at the edge of the Magic Core and Gold Core, there was another green ball and now it was emitting Demon Qi!

“Your ability is powerful. I hope you will use it in the right way! Well, you leave first as I have something else for the little girl.” After the old man said these words, he waved his hands and Lyu Liang felt the scenery changing. When he regained consciousness, he was already in the dark.

Lyu Liang grinned and began to recollect the virtual swordsmanship that he had displayed just now. After a moment of contemplation, he smiled, “Since I materialized that in a mortal body, I shall call it the ‘Mortal Heart Swordsmanship’!”

At this time, only the old man and Dongfang Xiaoyu were left in the secret territory. Treating her differently from Lyu Liang, the old man looked at her with kindness and concern. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect to meet the junior from the Rosefinch clan. It is fate that we met! Say it, what do you want?” After that, he waved his hand, and nearly a hundred magic treasures appeared in the air, all emitting strong auras.

Dongfang Xiaoyu did not look at the treasures. Instead, she looked at the old man, bowed to him and said firmly, “Senior, I do not want any treasures. I now understand why grandfather, who has always pampered me, was strict with me with regards to the magic treasures. After these seven days, I found that I couldn’t help him with anything! This feeling of powerlessness is too painful! I want to be stronger, not through magic treasures, but by increasing my strength! Senior, please forgive my wilfulness!” After that, she fell to her knees with a ‘plop’ sound!

The old man touched his head and frowned, “Ai, I shall be the good man and help you with it!””

Later, the old man confronted Dongfang Xiaoyu, saying “As a demon beast, you were born half-demon. That is because you are from the Rosefinch clan; if you can awaken the body of Rosefinch, you will be a powerful leading figure of the Demon Clan in the future.” “However, the difficulty of awakening the body of Rosefinch is beyond anyone’s imagination. What I can help you with is to increase the rate of success by twenty percent. Even so, you need to work harder than any ordinary person in order to have a chance to succeed. Are you willing to do so?”

Dongfang Xiaoyu’s eyes beamed and she made three kowtows. She clenched her little fists tightly, “Senior, thank you! I want this!”

Subsequently, the old man waved his hand and a golden circle slipped from the top of Dongfang Xiaoyu’s head to the bottom of her feet. She felt totally refreshed in an instant.

The old man then waved his hand again and the next moment, Dongfang Xiaoyu who was leaping about excitedly, disappeared.
