“Why can’t you spare us?” Lyu Liang showed his full murderous intent. If his opponent stimulated the Array of Thousands of Devils, he would have to keep fighting, until one of them died!
“What’s the rush? Second Brother, come here! I’ve told you many times! Don’t belittle your enemy! Don’t be so silly! Although that guy spared you, it doesn’t mean that someone else will not kill you!” The monkey demon left Lyu Liang alone, and instead scolded the bull-headed man.
“Moo, I’m sorry! That guy is too cunning. If I had used my three heads and six arms at the very beginning, I would have not lost the game!” The bull-headed man said weakly and obediently, as he stood beside the monkey demon.
“Stupid!” The monkey demon jumped up and landed a blow on his brother’s head, “How could you make such a stupid mistake in the war? Stay behind me!”
“Oh,” The bull-headed man replied compliantly and then shouted at his henchmen, “Stand aside and see how our valley king defeats this guy!”
The monkey king turned to Lyu Liang, and surprisingly, cupped his hands as he said, “Thank you for not killing my brother.”
Lyu Liang was totally confused. The monkey demon had attacked him so aggressively and also set the array to trap all of them, but now he was expressing his gratitude so politely…
“So… we can leave now?” Lyu Liang was eager to depart from this place.
“No!” The monkey demon straightened up, waved his hand, and said, “I hate the Human Clan! Although you are a little different, I still won’t let you go! Now, if you can defeat me, you can go! But if you lose, you have to stay here! Okay?”
Lyu Liang tried hard to resist the urge to curse his opponent. This game was evidently unfair!
Being in another person’s domain, Lyu Liang could only ask in a low voice, “Will you keep your words?”
“Sh*t! You dare suspect my brother?” Before the monkey demon replied, the bull-headed man could not help shouting, “Everyone knows that my brother is a real big man! As a proverb in the Human Clan goes, even four horses cannot take back what one has said. And now let me tell you, even 40 horses will have no way to drag back my brother’s words!”
“Shut up! When you go back, let little bean teach you the lesson of the Mortal World for 10 years!” The monkey demon emitted a golden beam from his stick, and that hit the bull-headed man directly on his back. Then, he pointed at Lyu Liang and said, “I will keep my promise!”
“I won’t let you down!” Although Lyu Liang was under due stress, he had a burning urge to fight. This same feeling had occurred once before, when he fought with Huangfu Gang in the mining area of the Nether Big World.
“If I win, you launch the array. If not, we will withdraw!” The monkey demon turned his head sideways and gave this order. The 16 men nodded with one accord, and then disappeared.
At this moment, Lyu Liang finally had time to observe his opponent.
He had the face of a monkey and two strikingly strong arms, and his seemingly ordinary cyan stick was evidently a formidable magic treasure, whose level was close to that of an Eternal Divine Weapon!
“Come on! Exert your full strength! You seem to have experienced many wars. Now just let a diamond compete with a diamond!” With eyes that lit up, the monkey demon exuded a strong Demon Qi, “Don’t worry about the others. The absolute prohibition in the Demon’s Valley can protect them up to a range of 3,000 meters. No matter how intense the battle is, they won’t be affected unless they step into this range!”
If this was so, Lyu Liang could mainly concentrate on this sudden battle. Just then, he was totally focused, because he could saw the resolution of a Man of Sacrifice in his opponent’s eyes!
Silently, 16 Ghost Soldiers emerged, as the Star-picking Palm and the Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence were launched. Lyu Liang’s figure sometimes became vague, and sometimes floated around. It seemed to be everywhere, or did not seem to exist.
With a roar and a bright flash, the monkey demon turned into a creature with four heads and eight arms. Four cyan sticks emitted four cyan beams, which directly shot at Lyu Liang’s figure!
Then, the entire space trembled and cracked, which consequentially generated several space gaps!
To be sure, the two were a match for each other. Neither of them could pose a real threat to the other, and neither of them had any thought of giving in!
The Spirit Swallowing Bugs summoned out by Lyu Liang sometimes forced the monkey demon to turn from attack to defense. Lyu Liang once suddenly approached his opponent, and wanted to use the horror beast to end the game.
But unexpectedly, when the monkey demon was 30 meters away from Lyu Liang, he suddenly became alert and somersaulted about 300 meters away. After that, he kept at least 60 meters away from Lyu Liang, apparently aware of the danger of being in close combat.
Meanwhile, his four sticks blazed with cyan light, and doubled in length and thickness. Although they looked a little unwieldy, their flexibility had actually increased.
Except for the Divine Mark, Lyu Liang had stimulated all his moves, and he knew that the monkey demon was holding on to his trump card. Although this was a critical war, neither of them wanted to expose their final move yet.
“All right!” After half an hour, Lyu Liang gritted his teeth and finally stimulated the Divine Mark, because the monkey demon seemed to have boundless strength. Although Lyu Liang could strive on, both sides would suffer great losses at the end! If so, he would rather take the initiative to end this game!
With a crack of his body, he exuded a chilly Death Qi, and a giant, rotten dragon appeared. As it growled, it pounced on the monkey demon!
Although it was merely 15 meters long and much weaker than the one in the Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array, it was still very formidable with supreme Underworld Shadow skills.
At this moment, the monkey demon became very serious, because he knew that, although Lyu Liang’s cultivation increased insignificantly after stimulating the Divine Mark, his Divine Soul and moves had been exponentially strengthened!
Then, as he let out a harsh roar, his figure suddenly disappeared. Instead, four monkey demons flashed out with blood-red glares. The four cyan sticks they were holding on to begin cracking and exposing their golden essence!
Just as the two were about to give their final hits, a voice resounded through the sky. Then, three black beams suddenly came in between them, and turned into a massive screen.
The rotten dragon bumped into the screen, and after a growl, it dissipated.
Both Lyu Liang and the monkey demon frowned, and stopped fighting. The next moment, each of them were about 300 meters away from their original positions.
“Yuan, what is causing you to be so angry? The noise is so loud that I thought that you were confronted by the Heavenly Alliance!” “So what happened?” The voice of an elder sounded peaceful, but Lyu Liang became even more discouraged…
A cyan-robed, bald old man appeared and he had a turtle shell on his back. His white brows were so long that they almost touched the ground. Holding a rough wooden crutch, he did not exude any aura.
But Lyu Liang knew that his cultivation, if assessed according to the Human Clan’s standard, must be above the God Ancestor level!
If this old man also joined the battle, then all of them would definitely die here!
“Ancestor!” The monkey demon stopped all his moves and cupped his hands respectfully. After the battle, his aura had become much weaker. Obviously, his attack was mighty but energy-consuming.
“I just finished my closed-door cultivation and sensed the aura here. What’s wrong with this man? He seems to be very powerful.” The old man looked at Lyu Liang up and down in a shaky and cryptic manner.
“Senior! We came from the Mortal World. We thought this place was not inhabited and planned to settle down here. And when we knew it’s your domain, we wanted to move away instantly. But these two Taoism peers did not let us go.” With a weakened aura, Lyu Liang hoped that this old man would be relatively fair, “Please forgive our ignorance and spare us!”
“Niu, you were defeated, right? Or else Yuan would not be here.” The old man did not answer Lyu Liang’s request, but nodded with a smile, “You’re very powerful. Are you really from the Mortal World? It sounds impossible. I know those in the Mortal World well! Even though you really came from the Mortal World, you’re definitely not an ordinary guy! You even have the Spirit Swallowing Bugs… Ah, little bean has just told me something. Could you be… What’s the name I’m looking for?”
Stunned, Lyu Liang felt very hopeful. This old man seemed to be more pleasant than the other two!
However, what the old man then said, directly knocked Lyu Liang down from heaven to hell, “I’ve forgotten it. Now, according to our rules, if you give us all your materials and treasures, I promise I will not hurt you, but will spare you!”
Fine! Everything was back to square one. This was the same as what the bull-headed man wanted at the very beginning!
“Senior… could you relax the rule? It was after suffering countless hardships that we finally came here. We have never had any thoughts of occupying your domain or troubling you. We just want to leave!” Again, Lyu Liang cupped his hands respectfully. He did not want to keep fighting, and of course, he was not this old man’s rival. “Please let us go! I can give you all my possessions to compensate for having bothered you!”
“Ho ho ho, you dare to bargain with me…” The old man laughed slightly, and his body began making some noises.
In the meantime, the monkey demon and the bull-headed man became very alert and directly disappeared.
All those from the Demon Clan dashed hurriedly to a distance of over 3000 meters away, leaving Lyu Liang, in a state of total confusion.
But very soon, Lyu Liang understood why those people were so nervous!
As the crackling of his body sounded, the turtle shell directly enlarged. The old man retracted his head, arms, and legs into the shell, and some black fog began floating out of the holes.
After two breaths of time, when the shell became pitch-black, the old man stretched out his head, arms, and legs again, and he had a totally different expression now. At this moment, he had a rather malicious look on his face, and held a black necklace with one hand. Bursting out with terrifying Death Qi, he said with a sinister laugh, “You’ve got on my bad side! Don’t dream of leaving here after breaking into our core place… Ho ho ho… If so, let me kill all of you and get the treasures from your bodies!”
