Chapter 586: Nobody Would be Hurt

In the past, Li Yuanliang was always aware that if the evil spirit could cultivate successfully, they could transform into human beings. Of course, to reach this stage, they would have to go through the Trial of Shapeshifting. Some evil spirit which had high self-esteem about their royal status would not transform into human body despite going through the Trial of Shapeshifting.

However, Li Yuanliang had never heard of anybody saying that human beings could transform into an evil spirit and it was not only one type of evil spirit. It was not an illusion but an actual change into an entirely different species which was gifted with supernatural power.

On his way of chasing, Li Yuanliang had changed into many different types of evil spirit. Some looked like cows, some had the face of a human but a body of a tiger, and some had red eyes and red mouth.

Chen Jianmei was not knowledgeable and all that Li Yuanliang had learned was from Chen Jianmei. Thus, it was fair that he could not recognize many of the evil spirits’ origins. However, each type of evil spirit that it changed into had its unique supernatural power. Some howled like babies and it could especially interfere with the operation of his mana. There were a few times it actually forced him out of the light ray from the integration of his body and the sword. Otherwise, even if it was impetuous, he could have already caught up with it already.

During the period of time, there was once whereby he almost caught up with it but it transformed into an evil spirit which looked like a cow. Its head was white with only one eye and there was a snake tail grown on it. It suddenly roared at him and spurted out an extremely ferocious poisonous gas. At that moment when he swept with his sword gleam, his mind and spirit quaked because the thoroughly tempered flying sword was actually corroded by it.

He had Asura Body and this sword was made out of the blood-red Asura sea. It was arguably not afraid of filth. However, it was still badly damaged. It could be seen that the supernatural power of evil spirit which it transformed into was extremely powerful, which frightened him.

Since it had taken away his uncle-master’s sister, Li Yuanliang had also promised his uncle-master to protect Xiliang. He was duty-bound and hence, he had no reason to retreat. Moreover, he was a sword learner, he had to keep his promise. Although he had already admitted inside his heart that even if he could catch up with it, he most probably could not defeat it and possibly die being defeated.

Before this, when he was at the blood-red Asura sea, although he had been through countless life-or-death battles, his mentor was always by his side. Thus, he was not too nervous and felt more confident at handling things. However, this time, he was not prepared for what was coming at all. In the beginning, he was slightly nervous and even if he could now disregard about life or death, it dawned on him that if he could get through it this time, he would definitely be able to see through the state of No Regret at the Heart of Sword and also attempt to cultivate the swordcraft of Thunderous Sword Aura.

Li Yuanliang was determined and thus he fastened his speed and swiftly disappeared from the upper stream of the Zimu River. Once this Zimu River flowed out of the Xiliang City, it would lose its mysterious effect. However, with the convergence of the cross-strait tributaries, the river channel became wider. The shore nearby was grown with a lot of aquatic plants and many poisonous snakes as well as insects hid there.

The evil spirit taking Chen Ke along were not flying. They were only leaping among the aquatic plants, their movements were completely silent and they were also trying to conceal themselves which caused a great disturbance to Li Yuanliang who was trying to track them down.

Nonetheless, he was a Cultivator of the Sword after all. In the glimpse of the light ray, his speed was faster compared to the ape. The numerous battles had still slowed down his speed.

He had even peeked into Chen Ke’s sleeping face. She seemed to look fine.

Unknowingly, he flew to a place whereby a giant tree was grown in the middle of the river. The gushing river water could only flow by its sides.

Perhaps the tree had absorbed all the nearby spiritual vigor, thus, there was no lush growth of aquatic plants at the shores. The evil spirit which took Chen Ke away leaped onto a tree branch and it actually stopped running away.

At this moment, under the moonlight, it was unknown whether the evil spirit changed back to its original form or it was transforming into something new. It was a long arm white ape, Chen Ke was being placed at the tree branch. He was holding a stem while staring at Li Yuanliang scornfully.

Li Yuanliang detached from the sword gleam and took the opportunity to stand up. He held his sword and he looked at the ape. He spoke in a cold tone, “Regardless of where you’re from, I advise you to return the kid to me or else you’ll certainly die.”

The long arm white ape tore open its mouth, there was actually a small black needle rolled on its blood-red tongue. When it met the air, it expanded with the wind. Finally, the needle turned into a long iron stick that fell on the long arm white ape’s hand and it laughed.

When this weird noise entered his ears, Li Yuanliang’s instantly felt slightly dazzled. Then, he saw the long arm white ape holding its black iron stick, it suddenly hopped up and a black iron stick came right in front of his eyes.

Li Yuanliang was disturbed by a weird noise and his cultivation experience was already discounted. He attempted to avoid using his sword gleam but he felt an enormous strength shuddering the limbs and bones of his body.

The long sword made a sound and then he, together with the sword, dropped into the river, and there was a very big splash on the river surface.

The long arm white ape stood in the void, holding his black iron stick and hit the river once again. Instantly, there was a gigantic strength that split open the river. Li Yuanliang spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew out from the watercourse.

Li Yuanliang’s heart sank deeper. He did not expect that this evil spirit’s strength could be so great. He already could not contend with its straightforward attacks.

He shouted loudly which then, his body and the sword integrated as one. Instantly, there was no trace of him in the void. The Shadowless Sword definitely did not have an unearned reputation. If it was not because of the never-ending roars of the sword, people would think that he disappeared without a trace.

After all, Li Yuanliang had the Asura Body and he had been cultivating in the blood-red sea. Although his mana was incomparable to that of the land immortals, he was not worse than Daoist Muzhen and the rest of the Dao Qi cultivators. Therefore, the long arm white ape’s black stick did not hurt his fundamentals.

Now, he stopped attacking and transformed into shadowless. The long arm white ape could not attack him so easily like before anymore.

The long arm white ape giggled and tossed the black iron stick into the air. Instantly, one stick turned into two, two turned into four and eventually the entire sky was filled with shadows of the sticks in a flash.

Then, there was a continuous interweaving sound of gold and iron. Under the moonlight, the shadow of a flying sword and countless of sticks battling could be seen. The entire sky of black sticks seemed to have spirituality; they could fly, advance and retreat in all directions. Very soon, the flying sword was at a disadvantaged position.

Suddenly, the flying sword was being badly hit by two black sticks. Li Yuanliang spurted out one mouthful of blood, he fell on the surface of the river and slid away to a far distance.

The ape witnessed Li Yuanliang’s entire body was drowned in blood and his disheveled hair made him look like a bloody person under the moonlight.

The long arm white ape was laughing with his mouth wide open, it seemed to not be in a hurry to kill him and it took back its black stick.

Finally, it used an adult-man-liked voice to speak, “So this is how capable the successor of the Asura sword is.”

Li Yuanliang said, “You’ve been fooling me the entire journey?”

The long arm white ape smiled and said, “I heard that the human beings who successfully learned the Killing Sword are very capable. Since you’re his disciple, you shouldn’t be too bad. But you’ve disappointed me.”

“That’s because my cultivation experience is still not perfect. If my master or uncle-master is here today, your body and spirit would all be completely vanished,” Li Yuanliang said.

The long arm white ape clicked its tongue then it looked to a far distance. A strong wind gusted through the river and there was a graceful shadow seen. It was Chen Jing.

She first spotted her daughter on the faraway tree, then she saw the injured Le Yuanliang and the long arm white ape in the void. She looked alert, “Elder is from the Kong Sang Kingdom? What’s the purpose of taking away my daughter?”

Li Yuanliang forced a smile and said, “Monarch, he’s definitely not from the Kong Sang Kingdom,” before this, he saw the barbaric and cruel beast type of vital force within it and he subconsciously thought that it was from the Kong Sang Kingdom. However, the strength that it exhibited now was already sufficient to wipe out a majority of the countries in Xirong, how could it be from the Kong Sang Kingdom?

“Brat, if I were to kill all of you, do you think that the Asura sword would come after me?” The long arm white ape did not respond but asked a question instead.

Suddenly, a soft and faint deep voice dispersed on the surface of the river, “I guarantee that you can’t hurt anybody at all today.”
