Chapter 198: A Beauty and a Man of Sacrifice

When Lyu Liang neared the mansion where Fairy Purple Phoenix lived, he just knew how high the guard she was enjoying.

Several huge puppets were hovering and inspecting above her mansion. There were also cultivators dressed in white clothes with a Tai Chi design wandering around on the ground, who must be the forces of Gold Immortal Wing from the Tai Chi Sect.

Lyu Liang went up and was ready to report when a smiling gold immortal in Tai Chi Sect came out of nowhere and started to say respectfully with cupped fists, “Ah, brother Lyu, you are finally here. Do you still remember me?”

Lyu Liang fixed his eyes and realized that he did meet the man before. On that day when he was in Duan Xiaofang’s home, that man was one of the most eager people who urged others to drink! He was said to be the elder male cousin of Duan Xiaofang and was really bold at that time. Lyu Liang just didn’t expect he could be a gold immortal in the Tai Chi Sect. If he remembered correctly, his name was Duan Wuchang.

At the moment, Lyu Liang hurried to return a greeting with cupped fists and said, “Brother Duan made me drink a lot of wine that day. It’s not easy for me to forget about you!”

Duan Wuchang laughed loudly. Then he came over secretly and whispered, “I know there is a beautiful woman waiting for you. I won’t get in the way any longer. Just remember to share your experience with us when you come out!” As he was done, he gave Lyu Liang an inexplicit look, which was known to all men.

Lyu Liang didn’t bother explaining at that point. He just cupped his fists and gave him a smile and left. Duan Wuchang behind him shouted passionately, “Brother Lyu, I have faith in you. Go for it!”

Even though Lyu Liang had gotten over it, he still unconsciously felt uneasy, as he smelt bursts of fragrance floating out of Fairy Purple Phoenix’s door.

Zhu Yu had previously said that the woman had inside a more vicious heart than snakes did, which was covered with a graceful human body. Lyu Liang wouldn’t be scared if she treated him in a tough way, but it would be really intractable if she played soft.

After thinking about it for a minute, Lyu Liang slowly walked to the door and was about to knock, when it was instead opened from inside along with silvery laughs.

As Lyu Liang was in a daze, four young girls as pretty as flowers and jade walked out of the house. They were all wearing gauze dresses. Two of them just held Lyu Liang’s arms from both sides and one girl said, “Childe, you are finally here. Our miss has been waiting for you for a long time. Just come in!”

It was improper for Lyu Liang to struggle to free himself. But if he did nothing, the four girls would just stick close to him accidentally or intentionally, especially his arms being right on the breasts of the two girls who were closer to him.

Lyu Liang was a normal man. Though being on the alert, he still blushed at the moment.

After entering the door, Lyu Liang found that the lobby was quite spacious, in a much higher grade than Huangfu Gang’s yard. Plus, the servants that came into his eyes were already more than twenty which included men and women. They were all pretty and in good shape. Seeing that Lyu Liang came inside, they all stopped and bowed to him.

As to those servants, Lyu Liang never thought badly of them. After all, they wouldn’t be qualified to join the conspiracy of that year. They were just common cultivators who wanted to survive and followed some big power.

Being pulled and dragged by the four girls, Lyu Liang finally stopped outside a bedroom at the end of the lobby.

When they were at the door, the four girls let go of him and respectfully called out in unison, “Miss, Childe Lyu is here!”

“Let him in. All of you wait at the door!” As the voice of Fairy Purple Phoenix—one that still made people feel numb and weak—came along, Lyu Liang shuddered unconsciously.

When Lyu Liang raised his head and was to open the door, one of the four girls behind him swung the door open and the other three pushed him from behind. Lyu Liang just rushed inside without any other options.

As the door banged close behind him, Lyu Liang also stopped. The moment he looked up, he immediately turned back with a blush.

At the moment, except for the important parts being covered, Fairy Purple Phoenix only wrapped thinner fine gauze around other parts of her body. It was so thin that seemed as if she didn’t have it at all. She was now fascinatingly lying on her side in bed.

Even though Lyu Liang only had ill feelings toward her, he also flushed with agitation, as well as feeling his sights blur and a bit of thirst.

“Dude! Wake up! There is an array unit here to lure you, which is mixed with philter. Don’t get yourself messed up!” White said deeply. Hearing him, Lyu Liang shuddered right on the spot and also broke out in a cold sweat.

He had thought of many possible ways to meet, but he never expected she would play dirty at the very start! The moment of absence of his mind just showed that his Taoist Heart was not prudent enough! If someone turned against him while in such condition, he would receive a hard attack at that moment!

With real vigilance in his heart, he didn’t need to take that simple trick seriously. The power of the Divine Soul broke out instantly and drove away the drug properties inside his body forcibly. Then he turned around and bowed with his head down, saying, “Nice to meet milord, inspector of the Heavenly Alliance. Thanks for kindly showing your recognition and giving me a treasure!”

Fairy Purple Phoenix sat up, and a flicker of disappointment appeared in her eyes when hearing his words, but soon she stood up and came to Lyu Liang cheerfully, saying, “Stop. I told you that the common courtesies are only necessary when there are outsiders. Now it’s just you and me here. Why are you still so reserved? You know what? Although I’m in the very distant Heavenly Alliance, I started to pay attention to you and have a thing for you when you broke through the Holy-Fist Palace to save your poor Taoist companion!”

Lyu Liang broke out with a cold sweat again. She was just too frank! She knew that he had a Taoist companion and had met with him only a few times, but she still directly expressed her love confession halfway, which precisely hit the nail on Lyu Liang’s weakness!

Rejection was a certainty. He just felt it really hard about how to do it and what he was going to say. The divine beasts commented on him right. A genius in typical battles, an idiot in love affairs!

Right at that moment, the divine beasts as well as Fatty and the wild beasts were all remaining silent as if they had reached an agreement. It seemed that Lyu Liang really had to do it himself!

Moments later, Lyu Liang looked up while trying to block the overexposed parts of Fairy Purple Phoenix as much as possible and said, “Fairy’s affection, I’m…” With his words being unfinished, Lyu Liang’s eyes that had been with tinted with shyness suddenly looked sharp. Then he sprang forward, as fast as a ghost. Fairy Purple Phoenix screamed and was pressed down under Lyu Liang without any reaction time.

Fairy Purple Phoenix froze there for a minute, but did not resist, just wondering why Lyu Liang became so impatient considering that he was not lured before. Then, she knew she was wrong…

As Lyu Liang sprang toward Fairy Purple Phoenix, a black arrow flashed by instantaneously above him, narrowly missing his head, and then vanished into the air! It did come and go without a trace!

Right now Lyu Liang thanked White in his heart for ten thousand times. If it were not for him, he wouldn’t have become more alert at that time, to focus on the environment around him. The arrow just then could have directly killed Fairy Purple Phoenix in front of him!

Though the arrow seemed to be light with no power, Lyu Liang was clear that the person who was shot by it would definitely have his soul flying and scattering without any other result! The arrow was actually condensed with mighty power of the Divine Soul. Lyu Liang felt so familiar with the piercing feeling of it, as he himself was also famous for the powerful Divine Soul!

But before he got up, a deep voice was heard, “Start the array unit!” Then five illusions of more than 20 feet high in human shape suddenly emerged inside that big room; they all held up their arms at the same time, whereupon brilliant white light was immediately created.

When the view in front of Lyu Liang became clear, he found he was already in a desolate land of sand dunes with Fairy Purple Phoenix. Meanwhile, three black-robed men wearing grimacing masks rushed upon them without any warning!

“I can’t activate the power of Devil Immortal Qi and Divine Soul?” Lyu Liang was about to confront the enemies when he was shocked by the sudden arrival of the formidable restriction formation, but he had no time to think more. He just pulled out his Kunwu Sword to meet them like a mortal in fighting!

What relieved him was that the blood in the Kunwu Sword was not affected and it would be much more powerful than common weapons anyhow. What’s more, the effect of God and Devil Quenching and the Holy Soul Order were also not weakened, which increased his confidence a lot.

Fairy Purple Phoenix was already dumbfounded. She didn’t understand how a room full of love and pleasant talk changed into a place with yellow sand, while everywhere was filled with horrible intentions to kill the next moment.

“Little Liang, we are kind of not affected. Combine us as needed! Since you couldn’t activate the power of the Devil Immortal Qi and Divine Soul and can only rely on our own power, the number of moves per combination is quite limited. You have to make reasonable assignments! Besides, there must be more people here except the three guys! The way they hide themselves is really weird, but even if they could get away before our very eyes, they won’t escape the search of the Heaven Peeking Beast!” White said urgently. He was also getting anxious about the immediate crisis.

Lyu Liang was astonished and immediately became one with Black and Ape. By throwing a fist with one hand and sweeping a sword with the other hand, he first forced back the black-robed man up front. Then he turned back to retreat and pulled up Fairy Purple Phoenix that had just gotten up and ran to a sand dune of more than 12 feet.

“What… what’s going on?” Fairy Purple Phoenix calmed down a little bit, but still felt scared.

“There are killers! A secret array unit was set up in your room! I just flung myself on you because someone shot you with an arrow. If the arrow had hit you, your soul would have flown and scattered! Come on, go hide behind that sand dune. I’m covering you!” Lyu Liang shared the general facts of the situation as he ran at top speed without looking back.

Fairy Purple Phoenix turned serious at once and then ran with him silently. After being panicked at the beginning, she started to settle down.

The second they reached the sand dune, two people suddenly jumped out from behind the sand dune and hacked Fairy Purple Phoenix, who had just stopped with their broadswords two times. It was too late to dodge now, so Lyu Liang decided all at once to yank Fairy Purple Phoenix aside and lifted his arm with the help of recoil force to block the broadswords physically!

With a “bang”, the two broadswords bounced back. The two black-robed men were shocked for a moment. Lyu Liang took that opportunity to swiftly stab the head of one of them with his sword, resulting in a through and through!

Then the man that had gotten stabbed suddenly changed into a wisp of smoke without any aura of his Divine Soul being left, as if this man had never been there!

“Man of Sacrifice! Now we’re in trouble!” Lyu Liang was startled at first and then understood their conspiracy. They were intending to set him up!

The other man seemed not to be affected at all and retreated quickly. Then he took out a whistling arrow from his arms and shot it sharply toward the sky.

Lyu Liang was at loss for a moment. In that immortal world, he could feel such a rebellious fighting environment, which was really rare!

But there wasn’t much time for him being emotional. A dozen black shadows appeared successively, then again rushed toward him without any warning. Their weapons were different this time, but all had a layer of blood. Their heads were also giving off wisps of smoke that were visible to the naked eye! That was their soul spirit which would only be generated by burning the Divine Soul!

Three of them detained Lyu Liang and the other men all ran to Fairy Purple Phoenix directly! Lyu Liang wouldn’t let it happen. He blocked them once with his sword and directly activated the instantaneous flash of White, which made him return back to Fairy Purple Phoenix’s side instantaneously. Then he tried to ward off the several piercing streaks of weapon light with all the strength he could muster.

However, his ability was limited anyway. He blocked them with the sword seven times, with his body sustaining five attacks. But the weapons didn’t bounce back that time, whereas Lyu Liang’s left arm cut off directly as it failed to block!

“Ah!” Fairy Purple Phoenix let out a cry and a look of desperation flashed by in her eyes. She was not stupid and thought of everything that was going through Lyu Liang’s head. Now that the only man that was protecting her already had one arm lopped off, her last hope was gone.

Those black-robed men saw that and seemed to feel relieved.

But right now, Lyu Liang’s eyes were fiery and he acted as if nothing bad had happened. He waved the sword with the one remaining arm and two black-robed men thereupon disappeared. Meanwhile, the parts of his legs under the knees were flashing brightly with golden light and he kicked out violently several times. Another pair of black-robed men cried out and died, leaving nothing!

Without stopping, Lyu Liang had a wisp of golden light flashing in his eyes, then a peal of golden thunder rolled down from the sky and struck another one dead immediately!

At the moment, there was quite a stir among the black-robed men. They had thought that Lyu Liang would be killed anyway, but now a reversal happened, which was totally out of their expectations.

Within a short time, 12 black-robed men were reduced to seven. The men left alive all retreated quickly.

Right now, Lyu Liang just had time to take a breath and his broken arm was starting to grow again at a speed that was not so slow!

“It’s the Holy Soul Order and the Tianxuan Holy Rattan as well as his powerful body of Heavenly Devil. Don’t hesitate. Do the final hit!” The deep voice arose again.

The remaining seven black-robed men nodded simultaneously and then gave out painful howling sounds. Their figures got bigger quickly with the body surfaces emitting thick black gas. They threw their weapons right away and ran toward Lyu Liang.

Lyu Liang pretended to be weak before and then broke out in an instant, which did create a surprising result. He originally thought he would have time to take a breath, but now he gasped at once at the scene!

That was demonization! Lyu Liang had seen it before, but the aura of the demonized black-robed men was extremely unstable at the moment, which meant that they came to him only to self-detonate!

Lyu Liang did have a strong body, but he wasn’t so idiotic as to fight against their self-detonations! He pulled up Fairy Purple Phoenix who had again raised the light of hope in her eyes at once, then rushed backward swiftly.

But Fairy Purple Phoenix was too slow; Lyu Liang directly carried her and used White to do an instantaneous flash.

“Dude, you can only use it five times based on your cultivation and the boss hasn’t even appeared!” White was very considerate. Lyu Liang warned himself secretly, too.

The speed of the black-robed men was very fast. When one of them came near Lyu Liang to self-detonate, Lyu Liang did an instantaneous flash to avoid it naturally.

Then the second one came up. Lyu Liang kept doing what he did the first time until the fourth man came. After that, he stopped using the instantaneous flash and turned to combine with Golden and Black directly!

A peal of divine thunder fell and a Shadow Realm Shield appeared in front of Lyu Liang, holding up the fifth self-detonation right there!

The sixth and the seventh almost appeared at the same time. Lyu Liang tried his best to do the last instantaneous flash, but still he was washed away by the great afterwind of the self-detonation. He turned several somersaults while holding Fairy Purple Phoenix.

When everything quieted down, Lyu Liang already laid flat on the ground with his left leg and right arm mutilated. But fortunately, he had kept some distance with the black-robed men and their cultivations also seemed to be held down badly by the array unit. Otherwise, even the Tianxuan Holy Rattan might have failed to protect him that time, if the seven men self-detonated at the same time!

Fairy Purple Phoenix was unhurt right then. When she saw Lyu Liang being hurt that bad, a sense of warmth that never occurred before rose inside her heart and she didn’t know why. She got up quickly and ran to him. As soon as she squatted, Lyu Liang who had been lying on the ground suddenly turned over and pressed her onto the ground again.

Right at that moment, the creepy black arrow flew past Lyu Liang’s scalp one more time.

“You are worthy of your name, Lyu Liang! This deadly situation was averted by you! But now, everything will be over!” As a deep voice was heard, another two black-robed men emerged once again.

One of the men wearing a mask was holding a black bow in his hand in a shooting position. It seemed that he was the owner of the previous black arrow. Right then, he put down the arrow and there was also blue soul spirit coming out of his head!

Meanwhile, he said lightly, “Boss, I can only shoot Arrow for Soul Burning one last time. The man outside seems to be really powerful. His research on array units is not inferior to the Gongsun Family. Now I’m going to activate the Forbidden Eye of the Array Unit! From now on, I entrust my family to you!”

The other tall guy with a mask nodded lightly at that and then disappeared gradually.

During that short time, Lyu Liang’s broken arm and leg were slowly recovering. The arm was healed first, but Lyu Liang’s Devil Immortal Qi still couldn’t be activated.

The remaining black-robed man chuckled and said, “Even if you are healed, it’s still too late. At first, our goal was only Fairy Purple Phoenix. If you didn’t help her dodge the two arrows, you might have had a chance to live. Unfortunately, you also chose a dead end!”

The moment he finished speaking, a stream of destructive aura burst out around him! The five illusions that used to appear inside the room of Fairy Purple Phoenix emerged again.

They held up their arms once more, causing the dim sky to turn as black as the bottom of a pan. Later, something incredible occurred!

The five illusions were like pulling and dragging the dark sky, which was dropping quickly. It would probably hit the ground completely within less than 30 minutes!

Feeling the compression from the sky at that moment, Lyu Liang totally believed that he would definitely die a terrible death if the sky just kept falling down!
