Chapter 177: Chapter 74 The Wind is Quite Strong Here [Last Day for Monthly Ticket!]

The Golden Winged Eagle soared high in the sky, presenting itself to the naked eye as nothing but a small, inconspicuous black dot. Yet, from its eagle-like vision, it could view the minutest movements of a piece of grass or a grain of sand precisely, with a range far greater than that of a cultivator’s divine sense.

Under its protection, several people proceeded swiftly.

Of course, it wasn’t necessary for them to search every inch of the river bank meticulously, since the growth of the Immortal Ascending Grass had certain characteristics. For instance, some spirit plants would not coexist with others, they instead absorb all the spiritual energy from their surrounding area for their own growth.

However, Immortal Ascending Grass could coexist with all plants, and they were usually found amongst lush greenery.

Therefore, they didn’t need to pay attention to areas with sparse plants. All they had to do was closely examine every dense forest and grassland they passed through.

Chu Liang, along with the other two groups of people, were all about a hundred feet apart from each other, using their divine senses to investigate the area thoroughly. However, he did have some doubts. Even though they weren’t walking at a slow pace, with this speed, it would take more than a few days, or even a few dozen days, to completely comb through Immortal’s Lake.

Wasn’t that ridiculously inefficient?

If there indeed was an Immortal Ascending Grass, they could quite possibly miss it due to this. Hadn’t the elders of Shu Mountain thought of a more efficient method after all these years?

Just as he was contemplating this, suddenly, the Golden Winged Eagle shrieked sharply into the sky!

"Screech–"

Had a Ba appeared?

Chu Liang immediately went on high alert!

Upon quick examination, he found that the Ba did not appear in his direction but rather towards Shang Ziliang’s!

"Haha..." At this moment, Shang Ziliang couldn’t help but rejoice inwardly.

When he swept the edge of the woods and saw a black shadow shooting down from above with the leaves rustling, he was only startled for a moment before quickly regaining his composure.

Wasn’t this the opportunity he had been waiting for? He had found it without any effort after searching far and wide!

He watched as out of the woods sprung an Iron Demon, whose skin was as hard as iron, wearing tattered clothes, with his hair unkempt, and his features obscured by ferocity.

"Grr–"

This creature, an Iron Demon, a transformation of a long-dead cultivator, emitted a fierce howl as it charged towards him.

A Ba’s natural instinct was to seek out vital energy.

Shang Ziliang firstly dodged it’s first strike, and then drawing his sword, he spoke in a loud voice, "You evil creature! Today you’ve met Shang Ziliang of Shu Mountain. This is your bad luck!"

Having said that, he held his sword up and started forming sword techniques as his body arrayed with blinding white light.

Psst–"

"Growl!" The Iron Demon, oblivious of life and death, found the person before him extremely appealing. It pounced again at an astonishing speed!

Shang Ziliang’s sword pierced into the Iron Demon’s chest, however, the sword qi could not penetrate through the Iron Demon’s tough hide, instead, it gradually pushed back along the sword with great force!

So tough!

The Ba had two key characteristics, its speed and hard body; it was fast and robust! For a cultivator of the same realm, it was extraordinarily difficult to break through its defenses!

As the Iron Demon neared Shang Ziliang, he changed the sign of his left-hand finger technique and cried out a command, "Back!".

With a flick of his sword, the surging sword qi instantly transformed into a gentle breeze, and even though the sharp qi had reduced, the flexibility and power within increased. A gentle wind swept in with the sword, leaving a slight trail on the Iron Demon’s body and pushing it back by three feet!

This wasn’t a sword technique from Shu Mountain, but the Confucian Sword from Dao of Confucian, only passed down in Yunyao Peak on Shu Mountain.

The attack caused negligible damage to the Iron Demon, but it growled and lunged forward yet again, "Grr!"

"Sword Thread!" he shouted, casting his longsword ahead. The sword immediately transformed into hundreds of glimmers, the Hundred Swords Technique!

Following that, the hundred swords spun into several dragon-like sword threads, immediately wrapping up the Iron Demon and began spinning!

Vissh, Vissh, Vissh–"

In the blink of an eye, the Iron Demon was like a body bound by several white pythons, being scraped and sliced by numerous sharp sounds of metal friction echoing out!

"Roar--"

It seemed to sense a familiar kind of pain, as its tattered clothes were ground to nothing with numerous tiny cuts appearing all over its body. Had its flesh not been as hard as iron, it would have been shredded to pieces within a heartbeat!

In a moment of peril, it also exploded with several times its usual strength, grabbing onto two of the sword threads and pulling it fiercely!

Boom, crack, boom, crack–"

The dazzling sword light was forcibly torn apart by its immense strength!

"Heh–" The Iron Demon made a deep muffled sound within its throat, and with a second pull, it managed to shatter all the sword light!

The scattered sword light immediately reassembled into a flying sword, swiftly returning to hover in front of Shang Ziliang.

At this very moment, he was calm and collected, holding up a bronze mirror with both hands.

This was the defensive Magic Artifact he had brought along for this trip, given by his father, the Yang Bronze Mirror.

He had initially planned to use this artifact later on, but dealing with this Iron Demon was proving to be quite a challenge. Shang Ziliang instantly decided to utilize it.

A beam of sunlight was refracted by the bronze mirror and hit the Iron Demon’s body, and immediately, countless hissing sounds and strange noises erupted!

"Roar—" The Iron Demon took a strong hit and immediately rolled over onto the ground, screaming in agony.

This Yang Bronze Mirror could store the light of the Supreme Yang, which might just feel warm to a regular person, but it would instantly incinerate anything dark or evil!

Seeing that the Iron Demon was rolling around, Shang Ziliang immediately thrust his fingers forward, casting another sword attack!

Whoosh——

Finally, this sword had completely severed the Iron Demon’s head, a headless demon cannot move, can be considered thoroughly dead.

"Huh." He let out a sigh of relief.

Putting away the Yang Bronze Mirror and Flying Sword, he wore a confident smile, having killed an Iron Demon so easily, his uncle must have been watching.

He leaped forward to Xu Ziyang, preparing to take credit, and laughed, "Senior Brother Xu, wasn’t my performance just now acceptable..."

He had only gotten halfway through his sentence when the Golden Winged Eagle in the sky let out another cry: "Ho——"

Another demon?

And this time the cry was even louder!

It was only then that Xu Ziyang’s eyes hardened, the demon that had just appeared was an Iron Demon, a peak Cultivator of the Third Realm can handle it, so he had no intention of intervening.

But now this tone, the demon was a Copper Demon!

Dangerous!

Those words also appeared in Chu Liang’s heart.

Originally watching Shang Ziliang struggling with the Iron Demon, considering it’s weaknesses, just finished watching the hustle and bustle, Chu Liang was about to turn around and continue onwards.

Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly sprang out from the grassland, fast as lightning!

Chu Liang instinctively wanted to wrap himself into a dumpling shape, but then remembered that the Green Leaf Magical Instrument was not by his side, he could only instantly invoke the Hundred Swords Technique!

The Hundred Swords formed a shield, surrounding his front!

Through a gap in the sword light, he saw the figure rushing over, completely coppery black, eye-sockets hollow, wearing a tattered Taoist Robe.

Copper Demon!

As it rushed closer, it suddenly threw a punch!

Boom——

The shield formed by hundreds of swords didn’t even last a moment before it was shattered!

The strength of the Copper Demon was more than ten times that of the Iron Demon! How could his Hundred Swords Technique resist?

However, a slight delay was enough.

In this instant, Chu Liang had already invoked another sword, the Dustless Sword!

Ice! Fire! Thunder!

The clouds on the Dustless Sword swirled, and in the blink of an eye drew three symbols, bursting forth with three colors of radiance! The momentum was immense!

"Roar——"

As the sword light approached, the Copper Demon roared!

Boom!

A violent explosion echoed across the lakeside, the light from the fire and thunder temporarily flashing out. By the time the Dustless Sword appeared behind the Copper Demon, its large body had already froze on the spot.

Its body was covered in frost, a large hole in its chest...

Ice and fire breach defense, thunder punishment extinguishes evil!

Ice, Fire, and Thunder Triple Talisman Sword!

Instant kill!

When combined with the Dustless Sword forged by a world-class Swordsmith, the power of this sword, even Xu Ziyang’s eyes revealed surprise.

Such a powerful killing force!

One stroke pierced the Copper Demon’s body, he admitted it wasn’t difficult to do...but what was his cultivation, what was Chu Liang’s cultivation? In that case, if one day they were on the same level, wouldn’t Chu Liang’s attack power crush him?

Whoosh——

A sword light retraced its path, Chu Liang put away the Dustless Sword, looking indifferent and casual.

He was not surprised by his performance just now.

Although his cultivation was still at the Third Realm, he was executing the Talisman Sword Technique which normally could not be mastered by ordinary Third Realm cultivators, and it was the most restraining against Yin creatures! His flying sword was also not an ordinary Third Realm level sword, it could be ranked among the top in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record! His True Qi, supplied by the Perfect Cycle, was also much stronger than an ordinary Third Realm cultivator!

Combining the three, this seemingly highly explosive sword was a breeze for him.

Xu Ziyang watched with a contemplative expression, seemingly replaying every detail of the previous sword stroke.

Chen Su was so stunned he couldn’t close his mouth, not hiding his shock at all.

Shang Ziliang’s face was ashen, he felt utterly disillusioned. How did he remember that at the beginning, when he compared Chu Liang in his mind, he thought Chu Liang’s cultivation was not worth mentioning. How long has it been, and he had become someone Shang Ziliang couldn’t even compare himself to?

Just a while ago, if he hadn’t had the Yang Bronze Mirror, he would have had to struggle to deal with a single Iron Demon. Chu Liang with a casual stroke of his sword, instantly killed the Copper Demon...... he didn’t dare to think too much about it.

After a moment of silence.

Xu Ziyang turned his head to look at Shang Ziliang, and asked, "What were you saying just now?"

"Ah hehe...." Shang Ziliang scratched his head, smiling awkwardly: "I said the wind here is quite strong...."
