Chapter 147: Chapter 45: Self-Sword [Double Update]_1

The Earth Slaying Envoy left in peace.

...

"Didn’t you hear me?"

There was a hint of anger in his voice... because he realized that after hearing the threat, none of these three petty Soul Envoys moved. They didn’t just fail to offer up their treasures, they even all looked at him strangely, making him inexplicably feel a sense of contempt.

"Oh, we heard you." Monk Pu Shan waved his hand, "You seem rather impatient."

"If you heard, then quickly hand over your treasures!" the Earth Slaying Envoy demanded.

He didn’t really want to kill people indiscriminately at this time. After all, this was the time for interpersonal relations emphasized by the Guide Envoy. However, if these three guys continue to be so unappreciative, he wouldn’t mind killing one to serve as a warning to the others.

Next, he saw the three Soul Envoys pull out objects.

"Fifty-eight" took out an ancient longsword, "Fifty-nine" took out a golden ring, "Sixty" took out a finger.

This didn’t seem like they were offering treasures.

These three Soul Envoys dared to defy him. They must be newcomers. The Earth Slaying Envoy sneered and prepared to teach them a lesson.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he felt an intense pain and weakness.

Boom.

Exhaustion!

Luo Yao’s Immortal Law was the first to take effect.

The Earth Slaying Envoy’s body suddenly wavered. Just as he was about to fight back, he saw that golden ring flying towards him, which turned into nine in the wind!

Thump thump thump...

Nine golden rings, layer upon layer, fitting over his neck and limbs, completely enveloping him!

What was this?

This didn’t look like Divine Skills that could be released by the Fourth Realm, nor did it look like the Divine Skills of a demonic cultivator!

"Mister Fei, save me!" He roared.

His own cultivation was a bit weaker than the Earth Slaying Envoy Chu Liang and the others had killed before, just at the first tier of the Five Elements Realm. His combat power relied mainly on this powerful Scholarly War Soul beside him.

When he realized that he might not be a match for these three people, he subconsciously called for help, while his body turned into a shadow, quickly retreating more than ten feet!

This illusionary Divine Skill was quite effective; the nine golden rings from Monk Pu Shan fell off in an instant, but the duration was short. Especially under the effect of Exhaustion, he returned to solid form in a split second.

Immediately after, he saw a spectacular scene.

Ten Thousand Swords Covering the Sky!

Tens of thousands of blazing swords with red flames, moving across the sky, then falling to the ground with a rumble, like a fiery meteor shower!

The Ten Thousand Swords Technique combined with the Talisman Sword Technique! The Ten Thousand Talisman Sword!

Boom boom boom boom boom——

Using tens of thousands of fire swords to kill a Fifth Stage demonic cultivator seemed a bit extravagant. Just the first round of concentrated fire left him blown to smithereens. The remaining attacks merely wrought more and more pits upon the land.

The reason Chu Liang acted so extravagantly was partly to test himself. After all, with the aid of the Beheading Red Famous Sword, he could use sword techniques he couldn’t usually try. This was arguably a good opportunity to experience the sense of enhanced combat powers at higher realms.

So, he chose the rather challenging combination of the Ten Thousand Swords Technique with the Talisman Sword Technique. Just one talisman sword was difficult to control with the base quantity of tens of thousands of sword lights. In an instant, Chu Liang’s Divine Sense was almost drained, experiencing an unprecedented massive expenditure!

He felt dizzy for a moment before he managed to remain standing.

On the other hand, this was also for deterrence.

After the raining fire swords ceased and dust settled, he looked at the long-bearded old man’s divine soul in the jade pot.

This old man’s strength undoubtedly surpassed the Earth Slaying Envoy, hence the respect. But the power of the Beheading Red Famous Sword could only work on the blood-laden Earth Slaying Envoy, so Chu Liang tried to use the most potent means he had.

Afterwards, he asked the long-bearded old man, "Old Sir, this man is now dead, do you wish to avenge him?"

The current situation seemed to take the divine soul of this old man by surprise.

Even when the Earth Slaying Envoy summoned him, it was only meant for intimidation and not to fight. Because if the old man were to fight, he’d have to pay another price.

Without any other orders, the old man’s divine soul decided to stay on the sidelines.

But he didn’t expect that these three youngsters could pulverize a Fifth Stage Earth Slaying Envoy to ashes in the blink of an eye. Especially the last shower of fire swords, he was uncertain if he could withstand it even if he intervened.

So even though the Earth Slaying Envoy called "save me" in the end, he still did not act.

I enjoy a few sticks of incense from you every month, what reason do I have to risk my life?

Hearing Chu Liang’s question, the old man flicked his long beard and coldly spat out two words: "Unacquainted."

With that, he twisted his divine soul and went back into the jade pot, not reappearing again.

"Huh." Chu Liang couldn’t help but chuckle. This old guy had better people skills than he’d imagined.

He first picked up the jade pot, then went to look in the large pit where the Earth Slaying Envoy had died. Due to the intensity of the bombardment earlier and the omnipresent mist, it was hard to find anything for a while.

Alas.

Chu Liang sighed in his heart. Here in Misty Mountain Valley, he couldn’t even find the exploded equipment. Such a wasted opportunity.

Upon his return, he said to Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan, "I will keep this Jade Pot for now. Any gains we make later, we can divide after we leave, okay?"

Last time they killed the Earth Slaying Envoy, he had to intervene in order to prevent his escape, so it seemed only fair for him to claim the meager spoils. But this time, all three of them had fought, and Chu Liang didn’t want to hog all the rewards.

At least, he needed to ask first.

Monk Pu Shan was generous. He smiled and said, "On both occasions, you, Warrior Chu, did most of the fighting when we killed the Earth Slaying Envoy. I don’t need a share."

Luo Yao pondered for a moment, then said, "In principle, I shouldn’t get a share either. But I really want the godly soul. I practice witchcraft, which includes Ghost Control Technique. I can refine it into a combat force. If you don’t need it, I can trade something with you when we get back."

Chu Liang smiled and said, "That can be arranged."

"But the situation is tough now..." Monk Pu Shan said, "We killed another Earth Slaying Envoy. We will undoubtedly be under suspicion when we get back."

"Hmm." Chu Liang pondered for a moment before saying, "We will have to gamble at this point."

...

Since their hunting expedition usually involved moving straight forward, remembering their general direction at the start, combined with the fact that they always burned a white bone torch for a fixed amount of time, gave them an estimate of where the other two teams might be after some calculations based on time and distance.

Another hunting team not too far away had already started to prepare for their return.

With the same formation - one Earth Slaying Envoy leading three Soul Enforcers - the team silently returned to their base.

Just then, a figure dressed in black abruptly appeared not far behind them. He wore no Soul Summoning Order at his waist, and held a quaint longsword in his hand.

There was no aura coming from him, so no one noticed his presence.

The next second, he lifted the long sword in his hand. Ten Thousand Swords flooded the sky!

The spectacle of raining fire swords appeared again. Thousands of flaming swords fell from the sky. The Underworld King Sect disciples only noticed it now, but it was already too late! Caught off guard, they could do nothing but scatter and flee!

Boom! Boom! Boom—

The fiery swords filled with spirituality seemed to be not just for an attack, but also to disperse.

Aside from a Soul Enforcer who wasn’t nimble enough and died under the sword, the rest only dispersed beyond the burning rain’s range, losing sight of one another.

When the Earth Slaying Envoy wanted to fight back, he found that the figure had vanished. Even with such a powerful strike, he did not leave any aura fluctuations.

"What..." He could only express his astonishment, helplessly giving up and turning to gather his scattered followers.

Getting detached in this fog is dangerous, even for the Earth Slaying Envoy.

But while six people dispersed, only four gathered again. A Soul Enforcer from the original team had been killed by the sword, and then there were three more Soul Enforcers, injured and shaken.

In fact, his own Soul Enforcer was also severely injured.

Under those terrifying fiery swords, even if one was lucky enough to escape, it was impossible to do it without getting hurt.

"We were attacked again by the man in black. Master Sha fought him, and we had to flee. We were chased all the way here," said the three Soul Enforcers.

The Earth Slaying Envoy checked their Soul Summoning Orders and saw no discrepancies, so he led them all towards their base. In these dangerous times, the more people, the better.

Upon their return, the South Route Guide, seeing the battered team, immediately stood up and asked, "What happened again?"

The Earth Slaying Envoy bowed and replied, "Just now both our teams were attacked by a man in black and suffered losses. He used the Ten Thousand Swords Technique. The sword qi was extremely powerful, and he seemed to be a cultivator of the Sixth Realm! I was unable to protect everyone, I have failed!"

The South Route Guide looked over their injuries, indeed they all were made by sword qi, and its power could clearly be seen.

Everyone was injured so he didn’t criticize any further, he said, "You all should heal up quickly, don’t delay our next steps."

"We’re almost at the Dream Abyss."

Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, healing their injuries, while the South West Guide was filled with worry: "Who is this person that has been attacking us along the way?"

"I don’t know." The South Route Guide shook his head, his tone decisive and fearsome, "But no matter how well he hides, he will have to reveal himself sooner or later in front of the Dream Abyss!"

The man in the black robe was none other than Chu Liang.

The three of them worried earlier that killing one Earth Slaying Envoy at a time would raise suspicions. Chu Liang came up with this plan, finding another team and sneaking up on them after taking the Concealing Origin Pill.

In this way, they weren’t the only team to be attacked and face losses, which wouldn’t be strange anymore. To relieve suspicions, Chu Liang even used sword qi to cause injuries to all three of them.

Self-harm!

After this operation, they successfully managed to blend into another team, dispelling any suspicions.

...

But when the team set out again, they finally arrived at the end of Misty Mountain Valley. Here, a vast, infinite abyss stretched out before them.

The mist within the abyss did not sink, but rather surged upwards, as if it was the source of all the mist! Endless wailing noises came from the bottom of the abyss. Who knows how many ghosts were trapped in there?

On the other side of the abyss, there was a large, spectacular glass-like light screen, like a mirage. The scene flickered in the sky, mirroring the view on the other side of the abyss.

There were lush green trees, gentle flowing water, with exotic beasts and spirit birds standing still. It was clearly a paradise-like valley.

The treasures that the Guide Envoy saw on the other side, must have been reflected by this light screen, right? The magnificent and strange scene made everyone’s heart skip a beat.

"Is that the Dream Abyss across from us?"
