Chapter 357 Attacked by an Assassin
When Lyu Liang arrived in Pan Gu Heaven Realm, he did not rush instantly to the branch of the Heavenly Alliance. Instead, he first stayed at an inn in the market place.
“There are so many people out there. Do you want to go out for a walk? See if we can get some information.” Looking at the scene around that was more bustling than the Chaotic Heaven Realm, Lyu Liang suggested this.
“Yes, well, I also have not hung out at the market place for long!” Wen Xiaojing agreed at once without any hesitation. With an expectant expression, she directly jumped to the doorway and added, while looking at the dazed Lyu Liang behind her, “What are you doing? Let’s go!”
“... What I meant was that you go into my cave residence first, and then I will bring you out later.” Lyu Liang blushed and rubbed his head.
“No!” Wen Xiaojing rejected him right away. Then she smiled and said, “Am I so bad that you just can’t bear to be seen with me? Hurry! I saw a big shop over there. Let’s go there first!” After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran downstairs.
“I am the one who should stay inside... With that beauty, it seems that I have to be the beast again.” Lyu Liang shook his head helplessly, but then he smiled and said, “But, it’s not bad.”
Moments later, when the two of them walked in the street, arm in arm, as expected, everyone fixed their eyes on them, as Wen Xiaojing was really gorgeous!
Lyu Liang was again regarded as an ugly man who was not a match for Wen Xiaojing. He was used to that, so when he heard what the people around said out of envy, he even tightened his grip on her to show off. Wen Xiaojing smiled softly, as if they were indeed husband and wife.
“Stop, stop! Help!!!” A horrified cry suddenly rang out. Then suddenly, there was chaos in front of them.
Not far away, a red-eyed, one-horned dragon horse was neighing and dashing madly down the street. It was drawing a splendid carriage, which careened wildly along with it. Behind the carriage were a bunch of cultivators in different clothes. They were running crazily after the dragon horse, and their faces were filled with panic.
This dragon horse was really swift. What made it worse was that no one was allowed to fly here, so it was just impossible for those cultivators to catch up. The pedestrians in front were also stunned, and quickly got out of the way.
A warm-hearted man had tried to stop it, but when he stepped forward, he had a shock. Before he could do anything, he spat out a mouthful of blood and then was knocked into the air by the dragon horse! The thing was that the man was actually a cultivator in the Middle-stage of Supreme Master!
“The horse, it’s creepy! Is it... Hey!” Wen Xiaojing fixed her eyes and thought about something, but suddenly she felt her arm had been dropped. Lyu Liang rushed forward, unhesitatingly...
“Well? Interesting! But, just stop!” Lyu Liang blocked the dragon horse’s path about 50 feet away, and saw its red eyes. Then he felt a strong sense of Divine Soul penetration.
He finally understood how the previous cultivator was crushed even without getting near to it. The horse had the power of the Divine Soul that was above the Tao Ancestor!

Lyu Liang did not truly believe that a wild animal, whose spiritual intelligence might not be developed, could do that, but when he saw a golden-robed youth with a panic-stricken face sitting in the carriage, who was almost as beautiful as Xu Mubai, he put aside all those thoughts. Golden light was sparkling in his right hand. The next second, he threw his fist toward the horse!
“Boom!” With a huge sound, the dragon horse was hit directly. At the same time, Lyu Liang jumped onto the carriage and pulled at the hackamore, stabilizing the carriage gradually.
“You have to move away quickly... Eh...” But now, the youth seemed even more scared. However, before he finished speaking, he had already passed out.
Almost at the same time, a blue colored sword filled with a piercing cold aura, appeared under the armpit of the youth, and moved directly toward Lyu Liang’s face!
Lyu Liang was stunned, but he had noticed the abnormal state of the dragon horse and was on the alert all the time, so he made an instantaneous flash, which enabled him to avoid this fatal stab, successfully.
But, the next second, an immense force filled with a death aura approached him from behind. Although he made another shift, a sense of tearing pain through his Divine Soul passed through his entire body. When he reappeared, blood could be seen at the corners of his mouth!
In the meantime, a bare-bellied fatty appeared out of the Void, on the ground. He was shocked at the scene, and then swung his big hammer toward Lyu Liang. On the other side, a short man rushed out from the carriage. He shook his sword a little, to create six beams of piercing Sword Qi, and ran toward Lyu Liang to stab him.
The two moves were not hard to avoid in principle, but Lyu Liang could not make up his mind what to do first.
If he avoided that move, the fatty’s hammer would surely smash the carriage, and the unconscious youth was definitely going to be killed. But, if he took it... That was also not a good idea!
That big, black hammer was definitely a precious treasure that deserved to be called a chaotic divine weapon! Just now, he had moved really fast, so he had gotten away with just a slight scratch, but his Divine Soul felt like it was tearing apart at the moment. If it had hit him directly on his body...
Within an extremely short time, Lyu Liang’s eyes suddenly brightened, and the next second, he was already gone!
Unexpectedly, Wen Xiaojing appeared in the carriage. After a flash of brilliance in her hand, the unconscious youth disappeared together with her.
“They are hard to deal with! Run, now!” The short man narrowed his eyes and alerted his companion. Then they both disappeared into the Void, leaving no aura behind at all.
At the time, Lyu Liang showed up outside the Void, his left hand holding the Kunwu Sword and the golden light dimming gradually in his right hand. He was also pondering about something.
The fight just now only lasted for the time of three breaths, but the threat to him was fatal!
Especially that fatty, he appeared and fought, but had no aura at all. Even his cultivation was hard to perceive. This remarkable quality could only belong to a top killer!
That short guy was also a tough one. He moved really fast, and hit hard, with each attack basically aimed to be a final hit for the enemy. Besides, as soon as he found that they had lost their chance to kill, he sent out a message to retreat, without any hesitation. What was even more surprising was that they left no aura at all, when they were gone...
“Hell! Where did they come from?” Lyu Liang restrained himself and frowned. They were both top killers, who were strong and knew the right time to do things. That kind of people was the most difficult ones to deal with.
At that time, the unconscious golden-robed youth lying on the ground gradually woke up. He first saw Wen Xiaojing, who was also looking at him. She gave him a cute smile and asked, “You are awake?”
The eyes of the youth were blurred at first, but the minute he saw Wen Xiaojing, he jumped to his feet and kept staring at her, while his eyes became brighter and brighter. He himself knew that, deep inside his heart, he was captivated by that breathtaking smile.
“You, you saved my life?” The youth asked eagerly.
“Huh? Yeah... Well? You are here. Are you okay? That hit from the fatty must be hard!” At this time, Lyu Liang came over to them. Wen Xiaojing took his arm, and asked in a concerned tone.
“Who... who is he?!” In a split second, the youth’s racing heart was cooled down directly by a piercing chill.
“Xiaojing, let’s go. I still have something that I need you to analyze for me.” Lyu Liang murmured to her, not noticing the shocked expression on the youth’s face at all.Updates by vi p novel
“Wait, wait! Miss!” Seeing that they were about to leave, the youth could not stay calm. He strode forward and stopped them, pointing at Lyu Liang and saying, “He is not as handsome as me! And he is also probably not as smart as me! So is his background! Then, then, if, if... you can give me a chance...”
“Let’s go.” Wen Xiaojing looked up and said to Lyu Liang with a smile. Then they got around the youth and walked away. When they passed by the youth, she whispered, “Most of the time, what we need is not the best, but the most appropriate.”
In the meantime, those cultivators in different clothes also ran closer, shouting and yelling around the youth, to show their concern for him, while their young master was still standing there dumbfounded, his eyes confused and in pain.
After a while, when Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing could hardly be seen, the youth turned around sharply and said to a blue-robed old man beside him, “Uncle, check that man out and that pretty girl for me. Find out who they are, and where they live.”
The old man did not ask anymore. He just nodded directly and then disappeared.
At the moment, the youth’s eyes brightened again. He smiled and said, “Haha, I have been feeling bad about my misfortune, but I never expected that... Thank god, such a pretty girl came to me! No one will look down upon me! Especially women, and beautiful women like her! We’ll wait and see!”
At that moment, inside a secret cave at the edge of the west part of the Pangu Origin world, a couple of figures were standing there, among them were the two who had failed to kill Lyu Liang before.
“Reaction, top grade. Speed, special grade. No clue about his power, but through visual inspection, it is also above the top grade. Divine Soul power, special grade. That’s the evaluation about him in the middle-level world. What’s more, the aspects I’ve just mentioned might also be all of special grade or super grade.” The short man said quickly. In front of him was a stone-faced freak, with a blue face and long teeth, who had four arms and was about 30 feet high.
“One more thing, he is very strong. Together with the information we got before, I conclude that he should be far more powerful than a cultivator with the Divine Body of Holy Soul Order! Otherwise, after being hit by my Soul Exterminating Hammer, there was no way for him to be able to walk around like nothing happened!” The fatty at the side said this solemnly, in a muffled voice.
“You are right! So, now you know why our boss sent us here. He is not just any normal man in the Mortal World. He is one hell of a cultivator who is almost as powerful as an Immortal General!” The freak also said solemnly. He glanced at the few people behind him and said in a deep voice, “The merits are done. Now talk about the breakthrough points.”
“Although he is very powerful, he does have a fatal weakness! That is he is too compassionate! Even when he faces a stranger, he would also try and figure out a way to save that person in a life-threatening situation.” The short man sniggered and said, “He has a girl beside him. If we start with her, the guy would definitely lose his head!”
“A person who values his friends...” The freak looked even graver. Then he sighed and said, “Ah, he is exactly the kind of person that I don’t want to fight with!”
“What?” All the others felt confused. They did not understand why their leader would still worry about that, after they’d already known the fatal weakness of the enemy.Updates by vi p novel
Seeing the puzzled face of everyone, the freak said deeply, “Su Chen, except you, I’m afraid that no one here has experienced the battle that has destroyed the Demon Origin Mountain... Can you understand my concern?”
A long-bearded freak with a red body, cupped his fists respectfully. Pointing at a broken horn on his head, he said, “The people who care about their friends would be restrained by their friendship, but, on the contrary, the friendship would also enable them to develop one kind of special fighting capacity. One of my two horns was broken when I was a God Ancestor that year. That battle was also the most horrifying battle that I’ve ever experienced! But, you may not believe it, that the person who made me think like this and hurt me to this extent, was simply a cultivator in the Late-stage of Tao Ancestor!”
“What?” All the people at the site, except the freak with long teeth, were stunned.
“During that battle, I formed a team with two other people. We did not meet a lot of resistance as we were on a reckless killing spree. With the help of the Demon Locking Array, even those Tao Ancestors with the power of Divine Prohibition, who had two apertures opened, were unable to withstand the attack from the three of us. Maybe because everything went too well. We became more and more careless, totally unaware that the two people appearing again in front of us would be a threat to us!” The long-bearded freak said in awe. “That was a couple, and the woman was pregnant, so she basically was unable to fight at all. The youth beside her was barely a cultivator in the Late-stage Tao Ancestor. And, he was also a descendant of the Divine Prohibition!”
“With the suppression of the Demon Locking Array, he was far from capable of fighting with any one of us. However, the most horrible thing happened!” At this point, the long-bearded freak turned to look at the freak with the long teeth. Seeing that he was nodding firmly, the long-bearded freak continued, “In order to cover the pregnant woman’s escape, the man whose one arm had already been cut off by us, suddenly emitted a stream of extremely creepy aura. As we stood there, dumbfounded, he just ignored the power of the array and directly opened his third aperture of the Divine Prohibition! Being caught off guard, my two companions were directly killed even before he got near to them! Then I came around and had to activate the power of ‘Pan Gu Soul Ending’ to withstand his attack, desperately. Even so, I was still not a match for him! At that critical moment, my buddies came to help. And that man’s skill might also have reached its time limit. He laughed loudly, and looked back at his Taoist companion, who was already invisible at that moment, and directly self-detonated... I’ve never forgotten the look in his eyes, that were deeply attached to this world, but also had no fear for death... I could not describe it clearly. All in all, now I never want to meet that kind of guy anymore...”
When the long-bearded freak was done, there was a hush. Many people just knew that the battle in the Pan Gu Cave that year was very fierce, with even countless cultivators of Ancestor grade, being killed. They felt that was unimaginable, and now they finally knew why those survivors from that battle did not want to talk about it. It was a closely-guarded secret.
“All right! Let the past pass. The Demon Origin Mountain was destroyed. This man called Lyu Liang has just got the power of the Divine Prohibition by accident. Besides, this is the middle-level world. It’s unlikely that what Su Chen had experienced will happen in this place.” The freak with long teeth glanced around. Seeing that their expression of disdain had been replaced by solemn looks, he felt very satisfied. “Su Chen and I take him seriously, just to keep you from being overconfident! After all, even though you still have high-ranking cultivation in the middle-level world, your moves would be definitely weakened, so we have to be careful! But, don’t worry. He is just a half descendant of the Divine Prohibition. We can take care of him!”
“Understood! Well, do we start with the people that are close to him?” The short man roused himself and asked respectfully.
“Feng Yu’s advice is good. We’ll do it that way. But, besides that girl, anyone who has some kind of relationship with him, could all be our target. The minute Lyu Liang shows his weakness when trying to save his friends, we’ll kill him directly!” The freak with long teeth said firmly. “This is not the Demon Origin Mountain. Even if we could not use the help of the Demon Locking Array, we could still complete this task using our own power! After all, the middle-level world also has its advantages for us!”
“So when do we act again?” The fatty was becoming impatient.
“A man like Lyu Liang, with such a pretty girl at his side, would be sure to attract envy and conflict. That’s the time we make our move!” The freak with long teeth smiled, with a stream of God Ancestor aura bursting out. He continued, “What’s more, we have nine people and we will go there together! I will get his head by myself. It’s in the bag!”
