Chapter 192: Chapter 89: Would You Believe Me If I Say I’m Just Passing By? 【Requesting monthly passes!】_1

The Wood Demon Tribe has inherited this region for many years, and their strength is not to be underestimated. While most of the Wood Demons in the tribe were in the first three realms, there were those who had reached the Fourth and Fifth Realm.

However, among the Five Elements, fire overpowers wood. This great fire that’s restraining their tribesmen is the reason they sought help.

To venture into this fire-enveloped mountain and investigate, Chu Liang was somewhat hesitant.

The primary reason being, not a single Wood Demon Tribe warrior who went in had returned. The dangers within were entirely unknown. Even though he doesn’t need to worry about fire overpowering wood, what if something within was much more powerful than himself?

After some pondering, he decided to use another Golden Fine Hair.

When exploring unfamiliar territories, nothing could be more appropriate than using this.

So, he had the Golden Fur Beast stay by his side, sat down cross-legged, and summoned a Golden Fine Hair. In an instant, a clone spawned in the arena.

The clone had no magic artifact, it only wore a Shu Mountain-standard Flying Sword Bracelet, so Chu Liang wouldn’t worry about any losses.

As for the Golden Fur Beast, Chu Liang did not plan to bring it with him.

Rather than having a Fifth Realm Spiritual Beast protect the clone, it was better for it to stay and guard his original body.

Seeing this, Elder Qinghuai exclaimed, "My, my! What formidable divine skills the Young Hero has! With this clone, you can safely investigate."

Chu Liang said, "Please keep my real body safe, Elder. I’ll be back momentarily."

"Please, Young Hero, have no worries!" Elder Qinghuai said.

He raised his hand, and vines surged around from all sides, forming a dense tree hut that firmly shielded both Chu Liang’s original body and the Golden Fur Beast guarding him.

"As long as I’m here, no one will be able to harm the Young Hero’s body," Elder Qinghuai assured solemnly.

"Thank you," Chu Liang nodded in acknowledgement.

"Why thank me, Young Hero? You are the one helping our Wood Demon Tribe!" Elder Qinghuai responded.

Chu Liang offered a wan smile, didn’t say much, turned around, and stepped into the sea of fire.

The flames soared!

His figure had just soared to the periphery of the fire field when an unimaginably hot wave hit him. The scorching temperature was unbearable for ordinary men, even without getting close to it.

This was no ordinary fire!

Chu Liang promptly circulated his True Qi to protect his body, then cautiously moved forward.

Under such intense heat, one’s True Qi could evaporate rapidly. An ordinary Golden Core cultivator might not be able to endure for long. Just standing here for a while could deplete more than half of their True Qi. If they met with danger afterward, it would be a problem.

However, with two Top Grade Golden Cores replenishing his power, Chu Liang could easily compensate for this level of consumption. He could continually maintain his optimal cultivation level, ready to tackle any crisis that might arise.

This is the importance of a fast recovery rate.

As he searched around, Chu Liang soon reached the depths of the valley. Many charred bodies lay around. None of these creatures from the mountains were intact—it was clear that they were not killed by the fire.

Chu Liang became extra cautious.

The trees here had been incinerated long ago, but the flames, as if imbued with powerful malevolence, clung to the rocks, the mountainsides, and the skeletons, still able to ignite and dance.

No wonder the Wood Demon Tribe was afraid. If this had been ordinary fire, they might not have suffered much harm. But this unknown fire could kill them with just a touch.

"Hiss..."

As Chu Liang was flying, he suddenly detected a hint of chill amidst the endless heat wave.

He was seized by a sudden sense of danger, and with a swift volation, he left the spot. In the next moment, he saw a huge fireball descending from the sky and exploding on the spot where he was just a moment before.

Boom, boom, boom—

The fire sea seemed to ripple.

The shockwave knocked Chu Liang dozens of feet away, but no enemy revealed themselves in his divine senses.

So he went with the flow, lying down at the side of a cliff, and feigned death.

Because he had seen that all the previously discovered corpses were all terribly mutilated, he speculated that this hidden enemy might enjoy tearing apart its prey with its teeth. If it thought he was defenseless, it should show itself.

As long as it revealed itself, his task would be accomplished. After all, he came here to investigate what happened, not necessarily to solve the entire problem.

After a long period of silence...

The only sounds were the crackling of the flames.

From behind a rock, an elongated, flat red-scaled head silently emerged, its pair of crimson eyes cold as ice, despite being surrounded by flames.

Then a body emerged, bearing a pair of ugly red wings—the entity was now completely exposed before Chu Liang’s eyes.

It was a giant python with red scales and wings, and it was over thirty feet long!

"A Wing Fire Serpent!"

At first glance, Chu Liang recognized it as a Wing Fire Serpent, a notoriously ferocious spirit beast!

Legend has it that a Wing Fire Serpent with eight wings once appeared in the mortal realm. It was a divine beast at the Eighth Realm Tianyuan level and had caused tremendous slaughter. If it had grown another pair of wings, it would have become a Snake God at the Ninth Realm Tongxuan. Fortunately, it was killed by the united Immortal Sects, eliminating this threat.

Although remnants of Wing Fire Serpents were still found in the mortal realm, they all lived inconspicuously on Evil Charm Mountain in the West, never daring to cause chaos in the land of the Human Clan.

The Wing Fire Serpent before Chu Liang’s eyes had somehow arrived here. Although it was not fully grown, it was at least a Fifth Realm Spiritual Beast!

He couldn’t win!

This was the first judgement Chu Liang made in his heart.

Clinging to his Flying Sword, he sprung forth just as the Sword Qi dissipated, his entire body had already flown into the air!

Although this was merely his split body, the sensations were real. Chu Liang didn’t plan on dying needlessly, with that thought he began to escape on his sword!

"Hiss..." A chilling light flashes in the vertical pupils of the Wing Fire Serpent, its meaty wings popped up with a whoosh!

Boom——

This monstrous creature flew into the sky and in a blink of an eye, it resembled a winged Flood Dragon. Carrying an aura of intense fire, it fiercely chased after Chu Liang!

It wasn’t trying to find food, it was just naturally cruel, wanting to tear anything living it encountered into two!

Chu Liang’s divine thoughts focused, he exerted his full control over the sword light, making several sharp turns, circling around the mountains twice! Bang——

The Wing Fire Serpent wanted to continue its chase, but abruptly discovered its body was coiled around a massive rocky pillar!

"Hiss——" Enraged and ashamed, it struggled and its colossal body shattered the rocky pillar with a thunderous crash.

But in that time, Chu Liang had already escaped from the sea of fire!

This was also Chu Liang’s first time flying at full speed after forming his dual top-grade golden cores. He felt as if he was being propelled by a gust of wind and was ready to lose control at any moment! If he hadn’t painstakingly practiced his fine control skills previously, he might have lost control and fallen from his sword.

Such was the terror of the acceleration brought by the dual golden cores!

Whoosh——

The sword light fleeted and he immediately returned to the forest from earlier.

Upon landing, he slightly stabilized his breath. Just as he was about to explain to the Wood Demon Tribe what exactly was there, he was suddenly overcome by a chilling aura!

Murderous intent!

Has that Wing Fire Serpent caught up? No!

This time, it was coming several times faster than the Wing Fire Serpent. Chu Liang couldn’t possibly dodge it. As he turned around, he saw only a flash of black light!

Zzt——

Blood splattered as his body was separated from his head.

Where the black light had passed, a masked assassin came into view. A raven was perched on his shoulder.

"If you still won’t die after all this..." The dual swordsman muttered coldly.

At the same time, he raised a black flag and forcefully stuck it into the ground.

Wham!

A Soul Suppressing Banner!

If there were any souls escaping their bodies, they would be trapped by this banner, unable to escape.

However, after a moment, not a single ripple appeared on the banner.

"What’s going on?" The Dual Swordsman furrowed his brows. "Why can I never actually kill him? Why?"

"Could it be that you’re just unlucky?" A voice sounded from nearby. Chu Liang’s figure emerged from a different direction once again.

Another one?

How many times does it take?

The Dual Swordsman stared at Chu Liang’s reappearing figure, silent, but his grasp on his sword tightened.

His intent to kill has been revealed!

But in the next moment, his murderous intent faltered.

That was because the surrounding light surged, the demonic aura rose, and a forest of sky-reaching ancient trees transformed into human forms. One, two, three...over two hundred members of the Wood Demon Tribe transformed into human forms, and the Dual Swordsman was completely surrounded by them.

Over two hundred eyes were fixed on him.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down from his forehead.

In his thirty years as an assassin, this was probably the first time he was encountered such a situation. He thought he had sneaked up and killed someone only to turn around and face a sea of people.

How embarrassing.

But after all, he was a seasoned assassin. He did not show any signs of panic, but faced the two hundred plus pairs of eyes staring at him and coldly stated.

"Would you believe me if I say I was just passing by?"
