The Devilish Immortal Chapter 281 - The Battle of Diablo: Cold War

Chapter 281 The Battle of Diablo: Cold War

After resting for one day, Lyu Liang somehow managed to fuse the foundation of the Sun G.o.d with some moves, after a lot of hard work. He managed to get the hang of it, but was unable to make full use of its potential yet.

As for the power of those moves, White advised Lyu Liang to use them as much as possible, until they could be exerted perfectly. Then they would have formidable power.

Before the compet.i.tion the next day, Lyu Liang deliberately made another arrangement. He found Linglong and warned her repeatedly, that she should never come out again without telling him, like last time. After all, the Dark Reign had clearly specified that it was the last time!

Actually, what Lyu Liang was concerned about, was not the rules. He just did not want her to get hurt again, even though she was just trying to help him.

At that time, Linglong’s sanity was generally recovering, and she was basically able to communicate with Lyu Liang in a normal way. Except for the fact that she still liked to embrace him, each time they met, her actions were very normal now.

…

When the last two rounds of the compet.i.tion began, there were only four teams, who were qualified to fight on the arena. They were Tianshu Pavilion, Yue Feng Nest Meeting, Plain girl Pavilion and Purple Cloud Sect.

The Purple Cloud Sect was an unexpected powerful team in the compet.i.tion. However, its partic.i.p.ation in the compet.i.tion might also be coming to an end, by that time.

There were only four members in their team, one of whom had not fully recovered from his injury. All the other three teams had strong and powerful members, so the Purple Cloud Sect would probably be dead meat, when they started their fight.

On the other side, except for the masked youth, who looked very calm, the other teammates from the Yue Feng Nest Meeting were very excited, as if they all had the irresistible urge to fight.

Their top leader was a G.o.d Ancestor, an ident.i.ty that even the big shot from the Dark Reign had to pay his respects to. Honestly speaking, even though Tianshu Pavilion was ranked as number one among all the powers in the Nether Big World, many people secretly regarded the Yue Feng Nest Meeting as a stronger power.

If the Yue Feng Nest Meeting was able to seize the opportunity to win the champions.h.i.+p that time… Haha, good things always come in pairs, that was everyone’s dream! What’s more, it might also be the time for Tianshu Pavilion, the “number one”, to step aside!

On the contrary, Lyu Liang was focusing on the team from the Plain Girl Pavilion, at the moment. He had not intended to do that at first, but their prying aura was floating toward him openly, from time to time. He was the only one they were paying attention to, which made Lyu Liang do the same thing to them.

Just as he seemed to give a casual glance at the team of the Plain Girl Pavilion, he immediately caught sight of five pairs of greedy and covetous eyes…

“Junior Brother, the Plain Girl Pavilion does not seem nice! We received a message yesterday that they made a subst.i.tution for one of their members. I suspect that may be due to you. It is said that the new comer is probably one of the few cultivators with special fighting capabilities in the Plain Girl Pavilion! You stay calm. Later, we will go first and check them out. This bunch of Demon b.i.t.c.hes have very weird Cultivation Methods. I don’t even need to ask you this time, I also have a feeling myself that our opponent will be them!” Feng Mazi said solemnly, obviously knowing that those women with cold faces, would not be a piece of cake.

At last, Tianshu Pavilion and Plain Girl Pavilion became opponents after Kong Liang drew the lots, and became the leading players at the crucial moment.

“Starting from this round, continuous fighting is forbidden! Every team has to arrange one person to fight just one battle, and should make a subst.i.tution for the second battle. Next, the fourth round officially starts, now! Come on, guys!” Kong Liang said loudly. Then the compet.i.tors came out quickly from the Yue Feng Nest Meeting and the Purple Cloud Sect, and unhesitatingly rushed into the light gate. Almost from the moment they entered, they started their fierce attacks.

However, for Tianshu Pavilion and Plain Girl Pavilion… n.o.body stepped forward at all.

The five members of Plain Girl Pavilion were all staring at Tianshu Pavilion, obviously waiting for their player to come out first. Then they could decide which of their player to field accordingly.

“b.i.t.c.hes! They are making it so obvious! I’ll go first!” Glaring at those women, Feng Mazi got onto the stage ahead, and strode directly into the light gate.

A woman also flashed out from Plain Girl Pavilion, and entered the light gate. Although the rest of them seemed to be focusing on the scene inside the light gate, Lyu Liang could feel streams of prying aura still coming toward him…

Surprisingly, the battle did not last long, as Feng Mazi controlled the battle from the very beginning. Within less than the time it took to burn five sticks of incense, the disciple from Plain Girl Pavilion flashed out from the light gate unscathed, and Tianshu Pavilion thus won the first battle easily.

“What the h.e.l.l! They are just playing at the battle! That b.i.t.c.h did not even exert half of her strength!” Feng Mazi returned to his camp angrily. He was not pleased with his victory at all. Then he said to Lyu Liang seriously, “They are aiming for you… or that girl. This battle is unavoidable. A real man will give up something at the right time. Do not risk your own life for some possessions that are less important!”

Lyu Liang nodded and knew that Feng Mazi really cared about him. But, Linglong was not a magic treasure. She was a person, who had saved his life. To give her up? He would feel much better, if he died first!

“Since it’s unavoidable, I will get on the stage now. They simply cannot tear their eyes away from me!” Lyu Liang strode forward casually, and rushed into the light gate, after two instantaneous flashes.

As soon as he moved, the five women brightened up at once. Next, a woman with das.h.i.+ng eyebrows, carrying two swords on her back, flashed into the light gate. At that time, she had a delighted expression on her face.

…

Inside the light gate, Lyu Liang and the woman were standing opposite each other. Seeing the two swords, Lyu Liang frowned, as he felt them giving out a stream of creepy aura.

Most common magic treasures could generally be stored inside the storage s.p.a.ce. As for those that had not been stored inside, unless the owner liked them to be exposed outside, they would otherwise be powerful divine weapons, like the Kunwu Sword, which had at least the same grade as the Innate Spirit Treasure!

“If you are a smart man, give up the Spiritual Body and leave. I won’t hurt you! Otherwise… Humph, even when you want to admit defeat, you will never get a chance to escape!” The woman laughed grimly. Then out of her whole body, streams of extremely cold and creepy aura, suddenly burst forth.

“… You are here to fight me or rob me?” Lyu Liang said helplessly. Her goal was so frank and obvious.

However, White said solemnly at this moment, “c.r.a.p! This woman has the foundation of the Underworld Shadow skills. She should be the best among all in the Plain Girl Pavilion! Although you may hold her off for a while, with the Sun G.o.d skills you have just mastered, it is not a good idea to fight her recklessly! Just look for a chance to kill her with one blow!”

Lyu Liang still seemed calm, but he was already feeling very nervous.

The minute his opponent finished speaking, he started to attack her!

He first exerted the Star-picking Palm and the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm, with two inconspicuous Spirit Swallowing Bugs also floating out.

“Humph! A petty trick!” The woman sneered and then the swords on her back flew out of the sheaths. At that moment, ice and snow were spreading all over the s.p.a.ce. The 10 Ghost Soldiers rus.h.i.+ng toward her, were immediately engulfed by thick ice, unable to move even a little.

The Spirit Swallowing Bugs were also frozen in place. People could clearly see that they were trying to bite through the ice, but it was impossible for them to get out within less than the time it took to burn three sticks of incense…

“Hahahaha, without the a.s.sistance of the foundation, this kind of Underworld Shadow Power of Law is only enough to deal with a vermin. You will never get me with it!” The woman said this proudly to Lyu Liang, while staring at him, “The Spirit Swallowing Bugs are very good. I can’t kill them. But, I’m still capable of trapping them for some time! How many of them do you have on you? Take all of them out! I feel good today, and will give you one last chance. Give me the Spiritual Body. Then you don’t have to die!”

Lyu Liang saw that the woman had handled his attack easily and quickly. He could also feel the icy-cold penetrating through his Divine Soul. Lyu Liang was fully aware that she was definitely not just a general disciple in the Plain Girl Pavilion!

But, he also knew that he would never give Linglong to her. As for the question if he could escape after admitting defeat, he glanced at the silvery world around him, and directly concluded that escape was not an option for him.

In that case, he had no other choice, but to fight to death!

Without giving any signs, Lyu Liang quickly made an instantaneous flash, and disappeared!

The woman had a self-satisfied smirk on her face, but was immediately startled by Lyu Liang’s action. Next minute, one of her swords already appeared behind her and hacked at the Void directly!

“Creak!” After this sound was heard, Lyu Liang’s figure suddenly appeared. He successfully dodged the sword, and swung his golden right fist to punch her!

“Puff!” A m.u.f.fled sound could be heard. Lyu Liang narrowed his eyes and retreated with the speed of lightning. Then he made another instantaneous flash, as a white sword hacked at him, like a ghost, at the same time. The hack was a plain move, but there was a sheet of fine s.p.a.ce ripples floating in the parts, that the blade had pa.s.sed through.

When Lyu Liang reappeared on the spot, he looked very grave, which was rare for him!

The punch had hit that woman, and it had also taken Lyu Liang’s utmost effort with the Sun G.o.d skills specially exerted by him. The only result was that the woman’s right part was. .h.i.t and deformed. She did not have any serious injuries at all!

“You, you have cultivated the Sun G.o.d skills! Why didn’t you use it before?! You are a real snake. I was almost fooled by your ingenuous face! In this case, I’m not going to show you any mercy! Anyway, what I want is the Spiritual Body, not you!” The woman’s body quickly returned to normal. After a flash of astonishment on her face, her eyes had a venomous look, and then she said, “Dark Cold Ice Demon!”

Along with her shout, the two white swords blazed out beams of dazzling black light at the same time. The silvery s.p.a.ce instantly changed into a world, where countless black snowflakes were falling down.

“It’s the body of dark ice cultivated with Underworld Shadow skills! Dude, fight with everything you have! ” “Listen to me. Later, hit her with all your strength, using the Star-picking Palm! This is your only chance of survival! If you use up all your Devil Immortal Qi and the power of your Divine Soul and still fail to kill her… Then the only outcome for you is to be frozen into an iceman and get slaughtered…” Although White’s tone was serious, he also sounded as if he was looking forward to it. “She made a small mistake. If we could take advantage of the mistake, there is still a chance for us to turn the situation around! First you need to avoid these black snowflakes, and deliberately get one on you, or two at most. No more! Otherwise, you are definitely going to be killed! Start now. Before I give the order, just prepare yourself!”

When Lyu Liang heard what White said, he immediately pretended to be greatly startled and started to try to avoid those black snowflakes. Meanwhile, he exerted the Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence, which was of very little use, mainly to withstand the endless white Sword Qi.

More and more black snowflakes were falling down. Lyu Liang followed White’s words and pretended to be hit by a small snowflake on his right shoulder.

A sense of irresistible chill immediately pa.s.sed through him. The Sun G.o.d skills inside Lyu Liang’s body automatically activated, due to the conditioned reflex, and managed to withstand the uncommon coldness that might have frozen his Divine Soul!

“That is the Underworld Shadow skills? If I have not cultivated with the foundation of the Sun G.o.d skills, my Divine Soul would probably have been frozen in a second!” After Lyu Liang settled the crisis, he was truly amazed by the power of this small, black snowflake!

Other people robbed people for money, but this b.i.t.c.h was trying to rob him of his life!

“Like I said, one snowflake is enough for you, or two at most. You are just too weak to take on more snowflakes with your scanty Sun G.o.d foundation!” White said in a matter-of-fact way. “Look at that woman. She is becoming self-satisfied now. You keep on acting and do it more realistically. Then she will increase the power of the snowflakes falling down, which will use up more of her Divine Soul. That way, she will become weaker and weaker! So, you will have a chance to fight back! I just hope that she will not realize what you are up to!”

…

The situation inside the light gate was totally visible to the onlookers outside. Except for some exclamations, some of the people were furrowing their eyebrows.

“Nether Double Snow Swords, and the body of dark ice… Is that Feng Hanyue with the first fighting capacity in the Plain Girl Pavilion? It is said that she started to perform a closed door meditation 50,000 years ago. Now she is out and probably aiming for the Spiritual Body…” That was the first reaction from the many powerful figures, and indeed the real purpose of the Plain Girl Pavilion.

“The barbarian from Tianshu Pavilion is in big trouble this time. That woman has the help of the advanced Underworld Shadow skills. Her fighting capacity is overwhelming! Even within the entire Nether Big World, there were only a few people on the same level that could compete against her, a person with such powerful fighting skills!” A lot of onlookers thought that way, as they clearly saw that Lyu Liang was behaving like a rat on the run.

However, there were still a few people who had very different thoughts. In the corner of the western platform, a mustachioed man with a bamboo hat on his head, was holding a liquor gourd in his arm and drinking from it. He was watching the battle leisurely, and even smiled every now and then.

“Little Ming, that guy looks stupid, but he is actually an experienced fighter in the battlefield! He knows how to show weakness, and knows when it is the right time to move. Nice!”

“That’s because our boss is instructing him! If he was there on his own, humph… However, I still admire his unyielding spirit!”

“Unyielding spirit… It’s complicated! No wonder they are using him as the bait. Now I understand why those old guys seem to be expectant, yet hesitant, at the same time.”

“Are you going to continue to stay here and watch? There are already several organizations that have sent people to the mining area. Their targets are different. Should we go there and make some arrangements beforehand?”

“Make some arrangements? How? We have neither the manpower nor strength, and will not get any benefits in that suppressed realm, no matter who our opponent will be. Therefore, we will just follow Lyu Liang everywhere. When he is alone, we will pretend that it was a coincidence that we crossed paths then. What a perfect plan!”

“… You are really carefree. That guy called Nie Qingyun has already made it to the Supreme Master level. The a.s.sault last time did not succeed, but unexpectedly helped him to break through another restriction formation.”

“I can only say that it was an accident, too. Those old guys have never told us that two of the Extra-legal Six People, Phantom and Dead Fire, will also be here… Well, forget it. I won’t be able to kill him anyway, even if I did what the Evil Moon has done. It’s tricky. So, just let those people on the other side who are prepared, figure out a way. I came here just to fulfill my promise to the Guardian for Fire.”

“… A promise that is worthy of 100,000 upper-grade Primordial Stones?”

“Eh… Look! The situation is turning around! Haha, that b.i.t.c.h seems to finally realize that something is wrong. But, is it too late already? To what extent can that guy exert his Sun G.o.d skills? We will just wait and see!”
