The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 169 Treacherous Lake

“Forbidden... forbidden beast... It was the forbidden beast! How terrible it is! Wait! I feel... Ah, I know, they don’t have spiritual intelligence!” Liu Jiawen’s voice reached Lyu Liang’s ears in an almost inaudible way.

The woman inside the cave residence shouted in great surprise, “How could the Divine Soul of Forbidden Lords be sealed? Who did this? Well... er...”

After looking at all the shocked faces, Lyu Liang quickly transmitted a voice to them in secret. “Don’t be nervous and stop thinking too much. As we have said before, we’d better hold our aura and leave this place as quickly as possible!”

Nobody there was ordinary, so they all knew what was more important at the moment. Thus, they just adjusted their mood and went ahead one after another. The black-robed member of Nether Big World, on the other side, obviously adjusted his mood more quickly. By now, he was at the front of the line.

The two groups went ahead one after another in this manner. Even though both sides of the road seemed endless, they still didn’t leave each other far away, simply because they all knew that going ahead was the fastest route based on the map each one held.

Three days and nights passed. Like the outside world, there was also day and night there. However, they had never seen the sun and the moon.

Along the way, they saw no less than ten wild beasts at the Forbidden Lord level. They all lacked spiritual intelligence and only possessed animal instinct. Occasionally, several ancient beasts and wild beasts with no spiritual intelligence also came out.

According to the founding father of Sword Character, those wild beasts just took a glimpse at them and then got back to their own business again, not bothering to take a second look. Although this felt really threatening, it was not dangerous.

Another three days passed before they reached a round, average-sized lake. Based on the marking on the map, they must have bypassed the lake from two sides. By doing so, they could enter the mountains and escape from the periphery.

However, the two groups didn’t choose the same side. Upon seeing that Lyu Liang’s group had chosen the left side, the other group then chose the right side.

There were no wild beasts around the lake, and they soon found out why. On the surface of the lake, a huge hump appeared suddenly before a long, thick neck was erected from the water. This had to be a giant blood dragon with eight wings on its back and three horns on its head.

“It... It is the Prohibition Lord of blood dragons. Unbelievable! It’s a pity that its Divine Soul has been sealed. Who has the power to seal the Divine Soul of a Prohibition Lord?” the woman murmured to herself, which also sturred Lyu Liang greatly.

Only now did Lyu Liang realize how tiny he was. In the face of such a terrible thing, he could not pluck up the courage to fight, nor did he have a chance of escaping. Even though he had the Teleportation Talisman, which could damage things hundreds of thousands of miles away, he still believed that if the Prohibition Lord wanted to kill him, it could do so within seconds.

After emerging from the water, the giant blood dragon kept looking at them. Upon noticing the group by Lyu Liang’s side, it was obviously stunned.

Nobody on this side was stupid. Instead, they were all extremely wise and astute. However, the reaction of the giant blood dragon frightened them all, as they all felt that this Prohibition Lord was somewhat different from the previous ones.

Luckily, this giant blood dragon just looked at them. It had no other intentions. They all walked ahead fearfully, bearing only one idea in their minds: They had to leave this damn place as quickly as possible!

Although the lake was not big, they were bypassing it, so they had been walking for a whole day. During this day, the giant blood dragon sometimes immerged into the lake and sometimes emerged from the water. Every time it came out, it would gaze at the group by Lyu Liang’s side, making them shiver in terror.

However, even though they felt scared at the moment, they also felt hopeful. Based on the marking on the map, it would only take them no less than two hours to leave this suppressing, horrifying place.

However, something unexpected suddenly happened!

A golden water column containing a sharp aura was ejected sidelingly from the previously tranquil surface of the lake, directly hitting the left eye of the giant blood dragon who had been gazing at them!

The power of this golen water column could even match the power of the Fairy Immortal, yet it was powerful enough to enrage the giant blood dragon!

Upon hearing a thundering roar, both groups stopped coincidentally. Now, they could see mountains with bare eyes. After only several hours, they would leave the lake. However, at the moment, although they wanted to move ahead, they could not move at all!

As they heard this roar, Lyu Liang and the others seemed to be fixed in place, restricted by invisible binds and unable to use any Primordial Qi.

The giant blood dragon looked to the left, then to the right, trying to figure out who was so bold as to make such an open attack.

Obviously, it could not find the attacker just by using its eyes. What’s more, it was not patient enough. Suddenly, it opened its mouth, revealing the sharp teeth inside. Then, it lowered its head in a flash and hit the group on that black-robed person’s side!

Instantly, it devoured seven black-robed people with a terrifying chewing sound. The leftover three black-robed people were all hurt by the afterwinds of the attack, which enabled them to move all the better.

“That’s so mean! Let’s wait and see. If any of you should survive, I, Lu Tianwu, swear that I will not allow you to walk out of the Relic alive!” a long-haired black-robed man with a face like a jujube shouted in great anger before disappearing.

The other two black-robed people struggled to stand up. They seemed to want to escape from that place. Unfortunately, the second round of the giant blood dragon’s attack came, making two lives vanish!

The people on Lyu Liang’s side all looked desperate.

“Let’s fight! We can’t wait for it to kill us! If anyone possesses a technique that can relieve us, please show it!” Lyu Liang broke the silence first by yelling furiously. Then, a ninety-meter-tall Giant Tiger with two heads came out!

“Liu Jiawen, it’s the Secret Realm of Paper Cranes!”

“Get it? The Secret Realm of Paper Cranes! Combine!”

As Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen yelled, a giant golden paper crane that was about ninety meters tall appeared in the sky.

“The Wangui Sect! Ghost Emperor, come out!” Veins suddenly popped out on Feng Xiu’s forehead, who had almost remained silent so far. A ball of dense black air was spewed from the top of his head, forming a giant ghost shadow with a horn in an instant. The ghost shadow was about one hundred and twenty meters tall.

“If you can move, fly to the mountains ahead immediately!” Lyu Liang was really anxious now, as he felt that other wild beasts seemed to be rushing there. One giant blood dragon had almost killed them. If more of its kind came, they definitely would have no hope of surviving!

The members of Lyu Liang’s group were all extraordinary elites. Except for the 6.6-meter-tall man, who remained there, all the others rushed to the mountains ahead by using their respective escaping techniques.

The giant paper crane, the Ghost Emperor, and the Giant Tiger with two heads all hindered the giant blood dragon. Upon seeing that the man couldn’t move and looked almost desperate, Lyu Liang resolutely held him up by his waist and fled ahead head-on.

As it looked at the three spiritual creatures that were shorter than itself by more than one head, the giant blood dragon had a mocking expression on its face. It suddenly opened its huge mouth and spurted out a gobbet of scarlet liquid that covered them all.

The three spiritual creatures shuddered when this liquid touched their bodies. Then, their whole bodies started smoking. Within just a second, they all vanished!

Lyu Liang felt a sharp pain in his heart when the two-headed Giant Tiger vanished. His Divine Soul also felt dizzy for a moment. Due to his earler preparation, he would fall to the ground now.

He knew that if the sword spirit was hurt, he would be injured as well. Therefore, he had already taken the medicinal pill necessary for fixing his spirit. However, even though he had taken this medicine, he still gushed out a mouthful of blood and almost fell off.

The giant blood dragon yelled somewhat teasingly and then focused its eyes on Lyu Liang again.

Lyu Liang tensed up subconsciously. Now, he looked like a rat that had become the object of an eagle. He had no way out but to run away. Whether he could successfully run away depended on fate!

Zheng Xuan, Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen, who reached the mountain first, turned back and urged Lyu Liang with great anxiety, “Quickly! More quickly!”

However, to their despair, the giant blood dragon began to move! It was now less than ten meters away from Lyu Liang. Meanwhile, it opened its terrifying huge mouth, revealing all the sharp teeth inside.

Lyu Liang was still three hundred meters away from the mountain. Although he would be safe after just two rounds of inhaling and exhaling, he still began to feel despair. In less than one round of inhaling and exhaling, he would be devoured by the giant blood dragon.

At the most critical moment, a big blood dragon and a small blood dragon suddenly appeared behind him with a resolute expression.

“Benefactor, let us hinder it for a moment so you can escape as quickly as possible! Although we can’t return to the forbidden area of the Remote Antiquity, we will still feel satisfied if we die in a place similar to our hometown!” The soft voice of the woman was transferred to Lyu Liang’s ears, stunning him subconsciously. Suddenly, he turned back and yelled bitterly to the sky, “No! I am its target! You get away!”

Later, as the others exclaimed, Lyu Liang would throw the man to a safe place and then turn back without any hesitation. He couldn’t allow this innocent mother and son to die for him!

However, at the moment, something strange happened again!

The moment that big blood dragon and small blood dragon came out, the giant blood dragon unexpectedly stopped and shut its mouth with a trace of surprise in its eyes.

Lyu Liang was first stupefied and then overjoyed. There was new hope for him to survive, as he clearly felt that the giant blood dragon’s intention to attack him had disappeared!

“Go back to the cave residence! Let’s go!” Lyu Liang shouted before the mother blood dragon and her son disappeared in an instant.

Later, Lyu Liang successfully escaped to the safe mountain, which was a miracle.

“You are a fool! Stupid! Idiot! Asshead! Could you be any crazier?How dare you go back! You think you are a Divine Ancestor too?” The moment Lyu Liang was safe, Liu Jiawen scolded him immediately. Her tiger teeth were shining in her mouth, which seemed about to bite him.

Although Lyu Liang had a silly expression on his face again, he said nothing. He just scratched his head.

Liu Jiawen stared at Lyu Liang for a moment before turning back and saying in an almost inaudible voice, “Anyway, you are a reliable person...”

The giant blood dragon dashed to the edge of the mountain too, cruelly reappearing on its surface. However, it couldn’t pass the edge, so it just waved its head in anger and turned back to the lake.

The man saved by Lyu Liang was naturally very grateful. If Lyu Liang hadn’t stopped him, he would have knelt down and kowtowed.

Lyu Liang said that, since they were members of the same group, they were comrades-in-arms who could go through thick and thin together. So long as there was hope, they would not give up on anyone!

After escaping from danger, they stared to discuss an important issue automatically. What was the water column that had enraged the giant blood dragon?

Nobody believed that the water column had formed on the bottom of the lake. This was totally impossible. There had obviously been Primordial Qi in the column, so only human beings could have made it!

There were only twenty people on the spot. This meant that an ill-intending person among them wanted to kill them all even at the sacrifice of his own life. How vicious!

However, they didn’t have any clue about this person’s identity. What was more, the giant blood dragon had first attacked the black-robed people. Thus, they finally concluded that there was an ill-intending person in the other group!

Time was limited in the Relic, so they simply shrugged away all their doubts and continued walking ahead to make new explorations.

While flying ahead with the others, Lyu Liang heard the gloomy voice of White coming from his Divine Soul: Boy, that water column didn’t come from the Nether Big World at all! I can clearly feel an aura flowing on our side! Although it is weak, it can’t escape my perception! There should be a thoughtful, extremely vicious Man of Sacrifice in our group as we speak! He’s the cause of all this!”
