Chapter 347: Chapter 31: Are all those who play with fire mindless? 【Monthly Ticket Required!】_1

As a golden mark fluttered into his body, Chu Liang finally got what he wanted.

"I recall your request was to capture him alive, but you killed him yourself, so you can’t deduct the money," Miss Ling’er walked up and said.

She had just rushed over because she remembered Chu Liang’s request to capture the target alive and had not immediately killed him, which allowed the humanoid mandrill to escape for a while. After she chased after it, the humanoid mandrill turned back, only to run into Chu Liang.

If not for Huahua and Chu Liang’s keen senses, the humanoid mandrill could have possibly escaped amidst the black wind.

"No matter, I’ll pay the full price," Chu Liang smiled.

As long as he had the mark, he could bring out the Big Head Baby, and nothing else mattered.

With that, he took out a Jade Slip and threw it to Ling’er.

"Straightforward," Miss Ling’er took the Jade Slip.

Just when the two of them were about to leave, suddenly the big black dog’s nose twitched, and it growled, "Howl..."

"There’s an enemy," Ling’er’s pupils flashed.

But they didn’t have much time to react, the attacker was extremely fast, and the next second, a streak of fire rushed in.

Bang-

With a loud explosion upon landing, a figure was revealed.

It was a robust young man dressed in a red brocade robe, with high brows, deep-set eyes, and an indifferent expression. His eyes were filled with ferocity, which made it clear at first glance that he was no friendly.

His whole body was brimming with a domineering aura, giving a strong oppressive feeling.

"I finally found you, heh." He looked at Chu Liang and unexpectedly broke into a smirk filled with malicious intent.

Seeing that the newcomer bode ill, Chu Liang frowned and asked, "And you are?"

"I am the young master of Demonix Flame Valley, Yang Hong." The young man said coldly, "You may not have heard of me in the past, but from tomorrow on, my name will be known throughout the world... because I will kill you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang sighed inwardly.

Just when he feared it the most.

After Chu Liang made a name for himself from his appearance in the Seven Star Mansion, Jiang Yuebai had specially reminded him that now his situation was different than before, and there might be some people specifically targeting him. Master Wen Yuan had also reminded him of this and specially gave him a jade charm that could shatter the void for protection.

This kind of situation was not uncommon, every one of the geniuses of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would encounter all kinds of unexpected ill-will during their growth phase.

The reason was simple: because you are famous.

In the Immortal Cultivation world, the quickest way for a nobody to become famous is to kill a famous person.

Including Chu Liang himself, his two major milestones in gaining fame were - first, defeating Xu Ziyang, and second, beheading Tao Wu. Both times, he stepped on the already famous geniuses and beasts to rise to the top.

Especially the newly emerged geniuses, they always have to face this. If they were targeted by the righteous path, at most they would be challenged, and if they lost, the person challenging them could use their fame to bolster their reputation.

If they were targeted by the demon sect, it might turn into a life-or-death crisis.

The killing among geniuses of the demon sect and righteous path had been ongoing since ancient times, and the present Yang Hong was one of them.

"I started cultivating when I was six. I cultivated diligently in the Demonix Flame Valley for twenty years, and finally achieved the Undying Scorching Yang Body. Now that I’ve come out, I need your head," Yang Hong stared at Chu Liang, showing off incredibly.

Demonix Flame Valley.

In the Demon Sect, their influence couldn’t be considered great, but they were quite famous. Although this sect doesn’t recruit many disciples, they valued quality over quantity.

They wouldn’t normally recruit disciples, and their location was also very hidden, possibly hidden in a secret realm. If they didn’t have a genius, they would hide and lie low, but once a genius emerged, they would rise to fame in the world by challenging everywhere.

This sect had produced quite a few top demon cultivators in the history of Nine States,

As for Undying Scorching Yang Body...

That was already the Dharma Body of the Demonix Flame Valley’s Cultivation Method. Regular methods required the Sixth Realm for the Dharma Body, but some cultivation methods could progress very quickly, and they could cultivate the Dharma Body ahead of time in the Fifth Realm.

The drawback of this was that the Five Elements would not be complete, and they would only attack via one method, which was a shortcut in the path of cultivation.

In other words, regardless, the man in front of them was at least a Fifth Stage demon sect genius!

"Fine," Chu Liang nodded calmly. He then said, "But since you’re here for me, this has nothing to do with others. I hope you’d let this lady leave first."

"No problem," Yang Hong smirked again, "I need someone to spread this news."

What arrogance.

Chu Liang muttered in his heart.

He dared to let Ling’er go without worrying about her going to find reinforcements, indicating he was confident he could deal with Chu Liang before any reinforcements arrive.

Ling’er nodded, mounted the big black dog without any hesitation, and instantly transformed into a sweeping black wind and left.

She left quickly.

After she left, Chu Liang asked again, "However, I’m still curious about how you found out my location."

If the location of any disciple of Shu Mountain could be known by anyone, they would have been wiped clean by assassins a long time ago. Earlier, the locations of some Shu Mountain geniuses were revealed to others because there was a traitor in Shu Mountain.

But the traitor had been eliminated, so how did Yang Hong know about his movements? Chu Liang was curious.

"Are you trying to delay time?" Yang Hong scoffed, "I don’t mind telling you, from the moment you appeared in the Seven Star Mansion, I had my eyes on you. I had someone in Taotie City monitoring your actions. The moment you show up, they report to me immediately. You had to come sooner or later."

So that’s how it was.

Chu Liang nodded in enlightenment. If the other party was bent on keeping track of him, they would always have a chance.

Yang Hong chose Chu Liang because he fit all the characteristics of a stepping stone.

Firstly, he was very famous.

The story of Chu Liang slaying Tao Wu in the Battle of Shu Mountain was too astonishing. The cultivation geniuses of Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were in no shortage, but this kind of combat result was unprecedented. In terms of fame, Chu Liang was already on par with top geniuses like Yang Shenlong and Jiang Yuebai.

Secondly, his strength was far less than his fame.

Because the world knew that Chu Liang slew Tao Wu using the Purple Green Double Swords. If he didn’t have the double swords, he was just a Fourth Realm person. Yang Hong knew he couldn’t possibly bring the Purple Green Double Swords out of Shu Mountain. If he did, those who would come to kill him wouldn’t be just Yang Hong.

There was a brief silence in the field, and the atmosphere turned solemn. The eyes of both parties became sharp.

Yang Hong’s True Qi roared into motion, and his body was immediately surrounded by dark red flames!

Chu Liang then swung his hand, releasing a deep blue godly soul. "Old Fei, it’s time to get to work!"

"This time it’s ..." As soon as Old Fei appeared, he looked up at Yang Hong and gasped in surprise, "Demonic Flame Abyss Fire! This greatly suppresses the godly soul. How can you ask me to deal with this kind of opponent?"

"If it were easy to handle, I wouldn’t have called you out. Just standby and help me from the sidelines." Chu Liang quickly replied.

In the time it took for him to say that, Yang Hong was already swooping in with flames blazing!

If it was merely a close-quarters fight, Chu Liang wouldn’t be worried at all. However, this Abyss Fire, as Old Fei stated, burnt both his physical body and godly soul. Simply coming in contact with it would be agonizing.

Immediately, he summoned the Dustless Sword. Unleashing the Thousand Swords Technique, he produced a rain of swords hurling towards Yang Hong!

However, his opponent showed no sign of evasion!

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

In an instant, hundreds of swords pierced through Yang Hong’s blazing body. Yet he didn’t dodge or shy away from the swords’ paths, allowing them to pass through. Where every sword passed, it left a hole, and in a blink of an eye he was riddled with holes!

However, there was no blood splashing out of these holes, only wisps of sparks lingering. Once the swords had passed through, all the holes were immediately filled up by flames, as if they hadn’t inflicted any damage at all!

Undying Scorching Yang Body!

Chu Liang suddenly realized why his Dharma Body had this name.

This wasn’t simply a blindfold or puppet technique, but a real transformation into a fiery sun with all forms of techniques withered away!

However, knowing this was not enough. Since this attack missed, Yang Hong had already dashed up close! A punch, enshrouded in flames, was mercilessly hurled at him!

Bang...

Caught off guard, Chu Liang could only open up the Green Leaf Umbrella to block this onslaught!

However, the punch was tremendously fierce. Even when blocked, he was still knocked back by several feet. Although he wasn’t injured, both of his arms went completely numb.

What a vicious punch!

No wonder this guy was so cocky. He indeed possessed the strength to be so.

Meanwhile, Old Fei had already moved a few feet away earlier, and now he pointed at Yang Hong, "Everything that you carry is just ordinary flame!"

Whoosh...

Immortal Law, words come and law follows!

Whatever is defined by words come and law follows can’t exceed the caster’s own capabilities, otherwise, it would lead to a backlash. Old Fei’s limit could achieve just that, his move directly turning Yang Hong’s formidable Demonic Flame into an ordinary fire, greatly reducing its threat!

Once Yang Hong noticed the change in himself, his eyebrows furrowed as he raised his hand towards Old Fei, shooting out a massive fireball!

Boom!

Thanks to the fact that this flame wasn’t the godly-soul-suppressing Demonic Flame Abyss Fire, Old Fei managed to dodge it by just making his figure unreal. However, the enormous true Qi it contained still caused his figure to fluctuate.

While he was being delayed for that instant, Chu Liang also made his move.

They saw a sword’s aura reappear and fly towards Yang Hong. In its flight path, it transformed into hundreds of sword lights. All of these sword lights simultaneously drew a rune in the air!

Whiz, whiz, whiz...

Silver light interconnected in the sky, all of a sudden falling down once again.

Yang Hong continued his unflinching stance, but his expression changed dramatically in the next second!

Because of the falling sword’s aura bearing runes, not only did it pierce through his fiery sun body, it also brought an icy chill, weakening the flames around his body.

One stroke, then two, then three ... After several rounds of sword light, his surrounding flames were completely suppressed!

This wasn’t a simple Hundred Sword Technique, but a combination of Talisman Sword Technique and Hundred Sword Technique— Hundred Rune Sword!

Within the blink of an eye, a thin layer of frost had formed on Yang Hong’s body, and the flames were extinguished! If he were hit by the next round of sword light, he would inevitably end up riddled with holes!

"Sneaky!" Yang Hong growled angrily and quickly raised his hand, summoning a pillar of fire from beneath the ground!

The pillar of fire shot up into the sky, surrounding his body while wiping out all the sword light.

"Of course, I have to use some specific divine skills to deal with your Dharma Body, even a child would think of this. Does this count as cunning?" Chu Liang snickered, "Don’t tell me all of you who play with fire lack a brain?"

As his words left his mouth, he had already circled Yang Hong with four puppets.

In a flash, the Great Five Elements Formation Method was initiated!

Boom—

The powerful whirlpool of true Qi rushed forward. Under its impact, the fire pillar, which had risen to the sky, seemed like a candle in the wind!

"Hmph." Yang Hong was undeterred, even sneered, "Do you want to compete in the Qi Sea?"

Bang!

The pillar of fire that shot up into the sky paused for a moment before extending four limbs and a head, transforming into a Demonic Flame Giant in the blink of an eye!

This method resembled the Demonix Flame Valley version of the Law of Heaven and Earth, undoubtedly more potent after combining with the flames! If it weren’t for Old Fei’s weakening, a Flame Demon Abyss Fire Giant would undoubtedly be even harder to deal with!

"Let’s get started then!" Yang Hong’s voice echoed from the center of the giant.

At that moment, his body stood tall at seven to eight feet amongst the Jiebei Mountains, looking like a terrifying demon god. He stomped his foot down at an astonishing speed!

As soon as the Flame Demon Giant appeared, Chu Liang and the four puppets were blown away by its imposing aura, the four puppets shattered instantly, leaving only Chu Liang flying backwards.

The opponent’s divine skill was much too powerful. This was purely a difference in cultivation level that he had a hard time bypassing!

Watching that foot descend, the sky overhead suddenly turned red.

Will he have to use the life-saving Jade Charm given by the Sect Leader?

Unwillingness welled up in Chu Liang’s heart. But in the face of imminent danger, how could he afford to think too much?

From the start, he had asked Miss Ling’er to leave first because he had this in mind. If no one else was around, he could escape at any time if he wasn’t able to win.

Just when he was about to use the Shattered Void Jade Charm to far teleport and save his life, another terrifying pressure came crashing down.

The sky that had just turned red, turned black again.

Above that foot, there was another foot.
