Chapter 147: Three Major Killing Moves

Just as the ceremony ended, a man was sent by the Blood Divine Sect to inform Lyu Liang that the mixed reinforcements of Xu Mubai and Li Wuyi had arrived in place. With a sharp flash in his eyes, Lyu Liang whispered, “Wangui Sect! I will annihilate you, and bring back the past glory of the three most powerful sects! And comfort the souls of the heroes sacrificed in the battle!”

At the moment, after thinking for a little while, Lyu Liang told his tactical plan to his father and grandfather.

The old man of the Lyu family, who was far more forthright than Xu Mubai, decided straight away with confidence in his grandson that the family would join the reinforcements with the other two powerful sects.

Lyu Liang warned that they’d better keep the plan a secret before the battle, or it would not work well if the enemy were to get wind of it.

The action time was set for midnight. Although cultivators didn’t need to sleep, they were used to the quietness at night. Therefore, executing the plan at midnight would achieve a better result than in the daytime.

In the small house arranged by his grandfather, surrounding Lyu Liang were three little beasts—Black, Golden, and Fatty, who had been accompanying him all the time. While there was still time, Lyu Liang discussed the battle details with the three to check if there was anything lacking.

“Liang, have you really decided? How long do you need, 30 minutes or 60?” Black warned him kindly, and the other two echoed him.

Lyu Liang nodded firmly and said, “The Wangui Sect is one of the three major powers. If we can blunt its cutting edge, the tide of war in the entire Wufang Territory will turn favorable to us. I suppose 60 minutes is needed! Alas! Then another two years is needed to regain Divine Soul power! And another 10 years to recover Sword Soul power! Like I said, such a powerful move is not to be used randomly! Before that, just engage them with the Void Crystal and Xuanyuan Sword Formation first!”

The Blood Soul Sword Move of Kunwu Sword was the most powerful one among all of those that Lyu Liang had mastered. However, as far as his strength was concerned, 90 minutes was the limit, and the consumption of Divine Soul power and Sword Soul power was unavoidable.

The situation of the Divine Soul power was more easily accepted, one year was needed to compensate for its 30 minutes’ loss. The same 30-minute consumption of the Sword Soul power, however, would mean another 5 years of recovery!

This was what Lyu Liang found in the Virtual Land. In theory, he had 90 minutes to perform his task, but still, he had to plan and prepare carefully. After all, this would be a long battle, and the Wufang Territory was not the main battlefield. The best steel is bound to make the knife’s edge!

Lyu Liang was pretty confident, not only because he had mastered the Blood Soul Sword Move. But more importantly, he had learned the three major killing moves and obtained the three equipped rare treasures from his master, Dreamless Heavenly Lord! Their respective introductions are as follows:

The first set was the Xuanyuan Sword Formation and Void Crystal.

The Xuanyuan Sword Formation was the profound essence of Xuanyuan Swordsmanship summarized by Dreamless Heavenly Lord. Only three divine swords of Void Return would stimulate all its power. At the moment, Lyu Liang’s Feiling Sword and Blood-bone Sword would certainly come in handy. And the third one would be the Golden-thunder Five-dragon Sword refined in the Virtual Land.

The formation had only one form but it had immense power that was highly concentrated and would burst out explosively. Even for masters at the Peak of Almighty Immortal, its explosion was likely to deprive them of their lives and cultivation if they were not prepared for it.

And among the three rarities, the Void Crystal was one of the two Pure-yang treasures.

Its main feature was its capacity to store its user’s movement in some place, without leaking out any aura. Once triggered by the enemy accidentally or operated by Lyu Liang, it could destroy the enemy in a dramatic way.

Lyu Liang could secretly kill numerous enemies at the Peak of Almighty Immortals without being discovered just for two reasons. One was the Thousand Face Mask disguise, and the other was the joint effect of the Void Crystal and Xuanyuan Sword Formation.

The second set was the Xuanyuan Soul Blade and Wanshen Lock.

The Xuanyuan Soul Blade was created by Dreamless Heavenly Lord himself. It had a strong hit, infusing the Divine Soul power with Xuanyuan Swordsmanship. This move could turn the Divine Soul power into Xuanyuan Sword Qi, and attack the enemy’s Divine Soul directly. It could be said to be an incredible killing move in battle.

Its only defect was that it required the consumption of the Divine Soul power, which was somewhat contradictory to Lyu Liang’s Blood Soul Sword Move. After all, the Divine Soul power recovered at a slow pace, and couldn’t serve for two or more purposes at the same time.

The Wanshen Lock was the other Pure-yang magic treasure.

It could lock the enemy’s Divine Soul temporarily, and for how long depended on the enemy’s cultivation, at least enough for a breath.

It would not only consume the Divine Soul power, but also target only one enemy at a time.

In conclusion, this scheme was suitable only when fighting against a single enemy in principle. As for how to allocate the Divine Soul power efficiently, it was all up to Lyu Liang to balance.

The third set was the Xuanyuan Block Skill and Holy Soul Order.

The Xuanyuan Block Skill was a weird mantra that could not only block one’s cultivation aura but also their life aura. As long as Lyu Liang wanted to hide, even powerful Tao Ancestor figures were not likely to notice his presence.

The Holy Soul Order was the only Innate Spirit Treasure among the three rare treasures.

According to Dreamless Heavenly Lord, it belonged to neither attacking, nor defending, nor assisting. If it had to be classified, then it covered all three types. In the Heaven Realm, there used to be countless blood-shedding wars just for this treasure, but it was Dreamless Heavenly Lord who obtained it coincidentally in the end. And this was also his most valued one among all the magic treasures.

The way to use it was to swallow it! Yes, swallow it bite by bite, rather than infusing it with the Divine Soul.

After swallowing it, one’s body would be even stronger than Heavenly Devil’s! Basically, Lyu Liang was able to ignore the fullest attack by anyone below the Tao Master level.

All of that above was merely the initial passive defense skills of the Holy Soul Order that were just insignificant. What was bloodcurdling about it was its capacity to turn any part of the user’s body into a magic treasure, which could be strengthened through cultivation, to the peak of the Pure-yang level!

One who swallowed it would have a Cultivation Method set of the Holy Soul Order in his Divine Soul. According to the difficulties of the cultivation, it could be divided into five parts—hands, feet, body, head, and Divine Soul. Each time the cultivation of one part was finished, not only could the corresponding part be transformed into a magic treasure, but also the passive defensive skills would be leveled up.

And of course, it would be exceptionally difficult to cultivate such a powerful treasure. According to Dreamless Heavenly Lord, during his long lifetime, he once met a powerful figure who had swallowed one. The figure was so otherworldly that he had reached the God Ancestor level, ranking his strength on top among the entire universe! But even he had only cultivated half of his head, which showed how hard the cultivation could be!

The third set was the hardest to cultivate but also the one Lyu Liang had the greatest expectation for. Whether to greatly increase the safety factor or to transform himself into magic treasures, this was the only effective way to increase his strength significantly.

As required by Dreamless Heavenly Lord, Lyu Liang didn’t need to think much about what would happen later. He just needed to spend some time cultivating his hands, which, in coordination with the Xuanyuan Block Skill, would become a stunning method in close combat!

Although Lyu Liang could block the aura of both his body and his moves, he could not cut off the aura of his life nor cover that of the treasure taken out.

Once the third scheme could be applied, Lyu Liang would be close to killing the enemy in an instant without being noticed.

In the current situation, the first and second sets were available to Lyu Liang, and the first one, in particular, worked very well and could be used the most. The second set should be applied at the right time and was best when facing one enemy. As for the third set, he had mastered the Xuanyuan Block Skill, but except for the improved passive defensive skills, his hands were still at the starting level. Even though they were counted as treasures, they remained in the stage of Foundation Establishment. So having the Holy Soul Order or not hadn’t made any difference.

Lyu Liang hadn’t had time to settle down for closed-door meditation for decades or even hundreds of years. But with the first two sets of moves and magic treasures, as well as the Blood Soul Sword Move, he was confident enough for the battle.

And this was a chance for Lyu Liang to reveal his aces in the hole to the three spirit beasts.

Black was just indifferent to his words and murmured “oh” as a response.

“What is that old saying of the Human Clan?” Golden replied playfully. “Oh yes, fortune favors fools!”

Fatty’s eyes lit up, saliva-like liquid flowing out of a crack in its front. He mumbled, “The body should be a magic treasure! If I could take one bite of it, then I would be able to show off to my old man!”

…………………………

The night in Sishui Country was much quieter than that in Tianshui Country. Perhaps affected by the atmosphere, even the Wangui Sect stronghold remained silent outside the great defense formation.

An indistinct figure fled through the formation in a flash like a ghost, and immediately, stayed motionless in a concealed location.

“Black, your turn!” Receiving Lyu Liang’s message, a small figure emerged and then disappeared in an instant.

Half an hour later, Black went back to where Lyu Liang hid. “There are 16 enemies at the Peak of Almighty Immortal. Among them, 14 are gathering in the highest tower in the east, and the other two are drinking in a cave residence in the south. And there are nearly a hundred Fairy Immortals scattered all over. So unneglectable is the Wangui Sect’s background! Who knows whether these are all its forces?” he reported. “Besides that, there are three Formation Keys. Two of them are each guarded by one Late-stage Xuan Immortal, and the last one should be defenseless!”

“Hmph! Even if they are not all of them, they are almost all of them!” Lyu Liang replied, “Black, go and inform my eldest brother and second brother that we will focus our forces on the two single Almighty Immortals. Send some of them to deploy the forces at the Formation Keys, and then take the core tower directly! Actions will begin half an hour later when the formation disappears as a signal! Before the Giant Tiger disappears, don’t let our people come over here.” As he messaged Black, he thought over the plan again and again lest he should neglect something.

The Blood Soul Sword Move had immense power and was particularly suitable for the melee deep into enemy territory. It would alleviate any concern one had about wounding their own side while causing the greatest harm to the enemy.

…………………………

Above the three most powerful sects of Sishui Country, not far from the position of the Wangui Sect, two small figures emerged spookily. One was a little fox wholly in snow-white, and the other was a little ape totally in royal purple.

“Br-brother, you, you think second sister and third, third brother are, are, are all—”

“Tens of thousands of years have passed! Why are you still stuttering the language of the Human Clan! Alas! Not another word. Just listen to me.”

The little fox interrupted the little ape’s stammering speech and cast his sight on the stronghold of the Wangui Sect. He yawned and said, “Let’s go! Move closer. No one will notice us covered by my Space-time Field Domain. Let’s see whether this guy, who is valued by both the old man, Tai Chu, and such a genius as Zhu Yu, is qualified for our following or not!”
