Chapter 21 The Person Behind the Scenes
Lyu Liang could never forget the taste of the Immortal Extermination Pill in his whole life!
In the Virtual Land, the King of Medicine once spent a year teaching Lyu Liang to identify and refine various medicinal pills. By right, on the basis of a cultivator, it would not take that long to just scan through the pills in the Divine Soul. The reason for spending one year was because he not only needed to remember but also had to experience it for himself!
Among them, Lyu Liang’s deepest impression was not the common medicinal pills. Instead, some were not common to see at all. But at the sight of these pills, they were poisonous and might take the life away! According to King of Medicine, the poisoned pills in the cultivation of the immortal world was not the type that kills one immediately, but the type that caused someone to feel as good as dead or let someone to be slaughtered by the enemy.
In that year, the time spent on testing drugs accounted for 90%. The King of Medicine also said that he would have too little chance to eat poisoned pills in the future, and this might be the only chance in his whole life. If not taken properly, Lyu Liang would most probably die without any traces, so he must try it! As for the good medicinal pills, knowing them was fair enough. One reason was that the materials used were cherished, and the other was that for Lyu Liang’s cultivation level now, it was a pure waste to eat them.
At the stage of testing and tasting the poisoned pills, Lyu Liang really felt as good as dead. Usually, trying just one pill would take him numerous days to recover. On several occasions, he even had to get the antidote from the King of Medicine. If not, he would most probably die in the Virtual Land.
Among them, two kinds of poisoned pills made Lyu Liang most impressed. One was called Soul Deranging Pill. After eating, one’s Divine Soul would be in disorder, and he could not distinguish between the enemy and friendly forces. When his Primordial Qi was exhausted, he would be like a piece of meat to the enemy. The other pill was called Immortal Extermination Pill. During the time when the Three Realms were in a mixed war, one of the powerful figures in Pill Tao from the Demon Clan created it. The pill was targeted at the Human Clan. The Human Clan cultivator who inhaled the smell of this medicinal pill, his cultivation level would instantly decline until it fell two stages. At the same time, his Primordial Qi would be exhausted.
Another reason for Lyu Liang’s anger was regarding the ingredients of the Immortal Extermination Pill. This was a high-grade medicinal pill close to the quality of the immortal standard. The refining materials were precious, and there was a need for a Demon Spirit flower that grew only in the Demon Realm. He absolutely did not believe that these high-end and strange pills could be refined by these demon beasts that were trapped in the trial field.
At this time, the situation had changed dramatically. At first, during this time, the three Yashas had been killed by Shangguan Ying. It was estimated that after a moment of effort, Shangguan Ying could kill them all. But at this time, the Immortal Extermination Pill burst.
Lyu Liang shouted promptly on time, but unfortunately, Shangguan Ying had never heard of this kind of medicinal pill. Therefore, it was impossible for her to stop running the Mind Mantra upon Lyu Liang’s shout. Moreover, there were still two Yashas that had not been destroyed. Stopping at this time, how would she kill the enemy?
Soon, Shangguan Ying killed another Yasha. But then, a feeling of powerlessness quickly spread throughout her body. She could feel that her cultivation had actually begun to decline. The Peak Foundation Establishment, Late-stage Foundation Establishment, Middle-stage Foundation Establishment... until the Early-stage Qi Refining! The whole process only took the two breaths of time!
At this moment, let alone killing the enemy, she couldn’t even control the Heaven Mixing Cloth. Then, she was shot down by the last Yasha.
Lyu Liang was quick to react, and he caught Shangguan Ying in the free fall.
“My, my cultivation is...” Shangguan Ying could no longer mind about the improper contact between man and woman, and she was in a fit of anger!
“It’s the Immortal Extermination Pill, I shouted just now. But unfortunately, you didn’t listen. But you are not to blame. In your position at the time, stopping the running of Mind Mantra would be strange.” Lyu Liang shook his head helplessly.
“You, your hand! Shameless pervert! Let me go!” Shang Guanying found that she and Lyu Liang were holding together in a very awkward position. “Ding”, her face blushed again.
“Ah? Oh, it’s an accident! I can make another life-bonded vow. Everything that just happened will definitely not pass on the ears of others!” Lyu Liang also felt that it was wrong, and immediately put Shangguan Ying on the ground.
Shangguan Ying, who fell on the ground, unexpectedly did not refute again. Instead, she stared at Lyu Liang with a resentful look.
“Did I, Shangguan Ying have to go to the netherworld with him here, today? Is this what Heaven’s prediction suggested to me?” At the moment, Shangguan Ying’s cultivation dropped drastically, and her Primordial Qi was all gone. A desperate emotion permeated in her heart.
Lyu Liang looked at Shangguan Ying’s dim and dull eyes, and had mixed feelings in his heart!
“When I was trapped by three big demons, she came to my rescue. After all, I did take advantage of her. Right now, she stood in front of me and guarded me behind, fighting five Demon Spirits by herself.” Lyu Liang sighed and turned to reveal an expression of relief. “Never mind, never mind! It’s my turn to fight, and it should have been like this! The fairy was supposed to be a girl blessed by heaven but was trapped here because of me. If I still hide something, am I still a man? What could happen even if the secret is exposed! That shall be discussed if I get the chance to survive!”
Shangguan Ying, who was stunned and worried, suddenly felt that a wide and powerful palm pulled her back. Then she saw someone’s back block her view and standing in front of her was Lyu Liang.
“You, you didn’t get struck by the Immortal Extermination Pill? Aren’t you at the Early-stage of Qi Refining!” Shangguan Ying hurried. “I will help you block at the entrance. You can return to the original road, and you may have the faintest chance of survival. I had a Body Enforcing Talisman on me, and it will allow me to support for at least an hour!” After saying that, she pulled Lyu Liang back.
Lyu Liang was so touched! For the first time, there was a woman who was not his relatives, made Lyu Liang’s energetic and high spirited heart retrench into a fist! At the moment, he felt, even if he died, so what!
“You rest, I will take over.” Lyu Liang stretched out one arm and stopped Shangguan Ying from jumping forward. He slightly tilted his head and said, “Thank you, as long as I exist, no one can hurt you! Unless I am dead!”
Looking at Lyu Liang’s calm and composed smile under the dim light, Shangguan Ying was stunned. At this moment, she suddenly had a feeling of unreality. The person in front of her seemed utterly different from the one who was previously stupid and innocent! Right now, his self-confidence and momentum made infinite hopes rise in Shangguan Ying’s original desperate heart!
“Black, sorry, maybe you have to say that I am impulsive again. I know, if I wait till Shangguan Ying die, and then I burst, my secret will be completely safe. However, I really can’t do it! And I would never regret!” Lyu Liang still voiced to Black. After all, what he had to do was completely contrary to the low-key manner that his seniors had taught him.
“Forget it, if you really do that, I will also look down on you. I used to listen to Feiwu saying about what Zhang Mengdao had done. But today, you are surely his disciple. Your temperaments are very similar. However, you are not going to fall for this fairy, aren’t you?” Black cheerfully teased.
“Ha ha ha! Can’t say, can’t say! Let’s go. Do it quickly. There should be a hidden one that hadn’t come out yet!” In the speech, Lyu Liang’s body broke out with an incredible Devil Qi. On his back, the Devil Thunder Wing flashed. Instantly, he appeared behind the Yasha.
At the same time, a dark mask of ghost heads plunged from the top of Lyu Liang. In an instant, an aura comparable to the Peak of Foundation Establishment gushed out. However, that was Devil Qi.
Before the Yasha could react, a giant sword phantom slammed down. Without any room for resistance, the Yasha was demolished in the grand Sword Qi of the magnificent sword.
“What? How is it possible! This kid does not belong to the Human Clan!” The blue-eyed giant tiger was dumbfounded, unable to close its mouth. “Peak of Original Devil Period! How can this be!”
Lyu Liang would not give them time to think, he disappeared. The next moment, he appeared behind the blue-eyed giant tiger.
“Die!” Ten incomparably dark sword flowers flew over from all sides and shrouded the giant tiger and flying snake. Not only that, a quick whip shadow was drawn across.
“Don’t be hit by the whip...” While the giant tiger was resisting the sword flower, he saw the whip that made him shudder and quickly reminded the flying snake on the side.
A flicker of horror was revealed in the eyes of the flying snake. Then it sped up and escaped the whizzed attack in a close shave. But before it could catch its breath, it was in darkness out of sudden. Then it saw a pair of dark eyes emitting a violent expression of murderousness, which was facing it eye to eye. Then, another whip shadow actually landed on its head.
At that instant, the flying snake felt a coldness on its neck. The next thing it saw was the endless dark sword flowers drifting toward itself. The next moment, along with its Gold Core, the flying snake had been smashed by the piercing cold Sword Qi.
At this time, Lyu Liang also lingered in the air, staring indifferently at the blue-eyed giant tiger that was already shivering.
Everything only happened within the two breaths. Shangguan Ying, who was holding the Body Enforcing Talisman, was so obsessed that she forgot to crush it.
“This, this is the Lyu Liang that I followed all the way? Is he from the Devil Clan? No, he used to be a human! He, he must have hidden secrets, that’s why he hides his own strength!” Shangguan Ying, after a moment of loss, finally regained her consciousness. The way she looked at Lyu Liang changed, her eyes filled with strange brilliance. “Is this the true meaning of heaven’s prediction? I seem to understand!”
“I shall give you a breath of time. Two choices, say the cause and effect of all this or you die!” With the whip on the left hand and sword on the right hand, Lyu Liang stood in front of the giant tiger.
“I say! I say everything! We have no choice, we just wanted to leave here! That person said that he could help us, so we helped him to raise and nourish the Demon Emperor Horn!” the giant tiger said in a hurry, for fear of slowness, it would die like its boss.
Lyu Liang’s eye expression was a bit complicated. In fact, in his heart, he had long been unable to bear the situation of the demon beasts in this trial field. They were a group of souls that could only be slaughtered by others!
“Who is that person? How do you contact? When did you start to nourish this Demon Emperor Horn? When are you going to take it for refining?” Lyu Liang asked the questions all out. At the same time, he was fully alert. Yes, that person would definitely appear!
“It was five hundred years ago when we were all small demons. Later...Ouch!!!” The giant tiger that was telling mourned suddenly, and then its whole body trembled and his eyes became inexplicably scared.
“Ahem, a domestic animal raised by me, still want to leave here, ridiculous! Now that you are useless, then disappear!” A low and old voice echoed in the stone hall.
At this time, the giant tiger was trembling more and more violently, and it seemed to explode and die!
“Stop!” A roar was heard, and then Lyu Liang instantly waved his God Whipping Whip at somewhere in the void. At the same time, the body of the giant tiger stopped trembling, and then, its eyes flashed a trace of gratitude towards Lyu Liang. The next moment, its figure swayed and had already hidden at the entrance to the stone hall.
“Little kid, you’re courting death!” The voice was obviously a little enraged. Then, in the direction of the waved whip, the ripples in the void were oscillating, and dazzling blue light, like a sharp arrow, almost instantly shot in front of Lyu Liang.
“So fast!” Lyu Liang had been prepared, his eyes condensed. Devil Thunder Wing, together with the Kun Peng Skill, he retreated quickly. At the same time, with one hand holding the sword, ten dark sword flowers appeared to protect the chest. “Boom”, Lyu Liang flew backwards to the ground, just falling to the side of Shangguan Ying.
“You, how are you!” Shangguan Ying supported Lyu Liang almost subconsciously, and she did not care about the wrongful contact.
“Haha, as I what I have expected!” Lyu Liang stood up steadily, although there was blood flowing out of his mouth, his eyes flashed sharply.
Shangguan Ying was confused for a moment, with only one blow he had been hit so badly. How could he still laugh out? Wouldn’t it be a legendary attack that deranged the Divine Soul?
At this time, a figure appeared on the platform in the center of the stone hall, just on the side of the old man.
“It’s you?!” After seeing the face of the person, Shangguan Ying’s face was full of incredibility. “Immortal Danyuan! No, no, the table... No wondered the person seemed familiar!”
Hearing the shouts of Shangguan Ying, Lyu Liang was also a bit stunned. “Isn’t this one of the Eight Great Fairy Immortals at the entrance to the Immortal Palace?”
