Chapter 549: Chapter 22: The Sharpest Knife of Shu Mountain [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

Blue sky, white clouds, clear and sunny weather, and suddenly, a storm.

Weather changes in the Void Realm can be dramatic, with abrupt occurrences of wind, frost, rain, and snow, presumably to allow disciples of various Immortal Sects to fight in different environments.

The thunderstorm weather wouldn’t affect cultivators of this realm much, at most, walking in the rain could feel a bit uncomfortable.

Chu Liang was soaring in the rain, pressing forward.

After dealing with several Daoist priests of the Youshen Temple on a nearby mountaintop, the Shu Mountain Sect team didn’t stop. Instead, they continued to sweep the nearby hills, heading further away from Yanbo City.

Walking on the flat wilderness, one could easily spot enemies ahead. Chu Liang slowed down, ensuring not to miss anything, with Jiang Yuebai and the other two trailing behind from a distance, maintaining a steady formation.

At this moment, another person appeared in Chu Liang’s Divine Sense.

It was a youth in black clothes, running across the plain. As soon as Chu Liang detected him, the youth seemed to notice Chu Liang as well.

The two parties moved simultaneously.

Chu Liang sped up towards the youth, while the youth in black retreated, transforming into a whirlwind.

Chu Liang didn’t know if he recognized his identity or just felt afraid upon seeing another person. Seeing the youth’s swift escape, Chu Liang immediately wielded his sword and a Sword Aura cut through the low sky.

Whoosh—

Once Chu Liang started with Sword Control Technique, there would be few in his realm who could match his speed. Needless to say, the youth, only at the peak of the Fourth Realm, was way below him.

In just the blink of an eye, Chu Liang had already closed the gap, the youth’s back clearly visible now.

The youth fled into a valley.

There were probably traps in there. Chu Liang immediately anticipated this, but he didn’t hesitate at all and directly followed him in.

In such a short span of time, the opponent wouldn’t have had time to set up any complex traps, at most there would be a few of his teammates. Chu Liang, who had the capability of wiping out a team single-handedly, was not afraid of this.

It was a circular valley. The youth had just entered the valley when Chu Liang caught up with him from behind. In desperation, the youth turned around and, moving his hands in an incantation, pointed it into the air, Chu Liang suddenly felt his moving speed being reduced.

It seemed to be some kind of control Divine Skill.

Though his movement was slowed down, the distance was now short enough for him to strike with his sword.

Chu Liang directly pointed with both hands, whoosh—

The Dustless Sword immediately transformed into a dazzling meteor, piercing through the youth’s body, turning him into a Soul Crystal that fell to the ground. Under the suppression of the realm, even a simple Sword Control Technique could easily kill a person.

Clatter.

The Soul Crystal fell to the ground, but Chu Liang didn’t pick it up.

Because around the valley now appeared several figures... eleven, to be precise.

In the Immortal Sect Conference, a team only consisted of four people, but the appearance of eleven wasn’t strange; forming alliances was a common practice both inside and outside the Void Realm.

Regarding the alliances in the Hundred Sects Competition, the Imperial Court had a strict judgement standard, which was to see if the parties involved were "for the final victory of their own Sect".

If ten Sects formed an alliance, preparing to jointly hunt down all other Immortal Sects for the victory of these ten Sects, it would be allowed.

However, if ten Sects formed an alliance, with nine of them committing suicide and handing over all their Soul Crystals to the last Sect, enabling it to enter the top ten, it would not be allowed. The whole Void Realm was under surveillance, and if such behavior occurred, the involved parties would be disqualified immediately.

At this moment, Chu Liang had clearly run into an alliance of three Sects.

...

Shenxing Gate, Five Poison Sect, Yishan Sect.

These three were all under the Prime Minister’s Eight Gates and Eight Sects, hence they quickly joined forces upon landing, and started setting up traps here.

The weakest disciple from the Shenxing Gate was sent out as bait. The plan was to lead enemies to chase him into this valley, where they would be attacked. They were confident of gathering enough Soul Crystals with this strategy.

Only they miscalculated slightly, not expecting that even the Shenxing Gate disciple could not escape this person’s pursuit, the moment he entered the valley, he was killed with a single strike.

"Chu Liang of the Shu Mountain Sect?" One of them recognized his identity.

Chu Liang also recognized the origins of these people from the other side, as the Eight Gates and Eight Sects were not of unknown origins, he had some impressions from the spectating of the previous competitions.

This was one of the advantages of being from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, they didn’t have to participate in the three rounds of arena matches, thus being able to hide some of their methods. However, many disciples from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands grew up under the public eye and thus had fewer secrets.

The three men on the left were dressed in black, like the youth before, so they must be from the Shenxing Gate.

Four men at the front were tall and robust, all sturdy men, presumably from Yishan Sect.

The four men on the right were all masked, wearing black gloves, with cold eyes, they should belong to the Five Poison Sect.

In the midst of the thunderstorm, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect immediately moved to block the valley entrance, their intentions very clear, to cut off Chu Liang’s retreat. Considering the speed he had just shown, they were not sure if they could stop him if he suddenly decided to flee.

"Heh," Chu Liang smiled, "Don’t worry, even though you outnumber me, I have no plans to flee."

"Then leave your Soul Crystals behind!"

A burly man from the Yishan Sect yelled out, as four of them leapt forward at the same time. A faint qi pulse behind them seemed to connect all of them.

The Yishan Sect’s Cultivation Technique was quite peculiar, it could connect people performing Divine Skills, transferring Qi amongst one another, which could be converged at any time.

Therefore, in this Sect, the more people there are, the stronger they become. United, they can gather a strength capable of moving mountains, regardless of how low their realm is.

Chu Liang was facing exactly this now, as the four of them launched their attack together. Every attack combined the strength of all four, leaving Chu Liang somewhat hard-pressed to respond.

He didn’t hold back, directly invoking his Divine Dragon Fire punch, and attacking fiercely, his single punch severely wounded one of them.

Crash—

One of them was directly hit, half his body charred black, letting out a scream.

Seeing his bravery, the people from the Shenxing Gate couldn’t just be spectators anymore. They started to move their fingers in incantations, all of them pointing at Chu Liang in mid-air.

Shenxing Gate, a Sect known for its speed, definitely wouldn’t have entered the Hundred Sects Competition relying solely on their running abilities. The slowing technique they were using now was one of their specialties.

After all, slowing down the enemy is equivalent to increasing one’s own speed.

Divine skills enveloped him, Chu Liang felt his movements were suddenly slowed down. He was originally able to take the upper hand against four opponents, but now his speed was suddenly hindered, and he was immediately hit several times.

Thankfully, his body was as robust as a dragon. When the disciples of the Yishan Sect were hit by him, they had to retreat, but he was not affected too much after several hits.

Amid the sound of the wind, he displayed Shrinkage and immediately flashed behind one of them, again unleashing a fire punch and gravely injuring one.

The speed of his physical body was slowed down, yet he could still display Immortal Law, also making the disciples of Yishan Sect unable to defend themselves.

The other two disciples of the Yishan Sect immediately retreated, widening the distance between them and Chu Liang. Surprisingly, it was they who retreated first.

Just as Chu Liang thought to repeat his tactics, he found that the moment he activated his True Qi, his blood and Qi suddenly surged, and his chest actually ached.

Was it poison?

He raised his head to look at the rainwater above him and immediately started his technique to resists the rain. His body remained dry.

"Heh, you figured it out. Unfortunately, it’s too late. You’ve been poisoned by our Five Poison Sect’s Vein Severing Poison, if you try to forcibly use your True Qi again, your meridians will... What?" a disciple of the Five Poison Sect sneered, however, his words were suddenly cut off in surprise.

Chu Liang pulled out a long whip and lashed it not at others, but on himself. Snap Snap——

With every whip, a puff of black smoke was expelled, and the poison in Chu Liang’s body was quickly eliminated.

Using the rain for their poisoning tactic was indeed a crafty method, but unluckily they met Hero with the Divine Whip, they could only blame their bad luck.

Seeing imminent defeat, several disciples of the Shenxing Gate also rushed to the scene, wielding their swords in their hands, turning into several shadows and rushing down.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect also took out their weapons flashing with black light, wrapping snakes, scorpions and other poisonous creatures around their bodies, getting ready to strike Chu Liang.

Initially, they were lurking outside, wary of Chu Liang’s Shu Mountain Sect fellow disciples. But at this moment, if they don’t act now, let alone dealing with his fellow disciples, they can’t even handle Chu Liang alone, so they can’t consider too much anymore.

Facing so many troublesome enemies, Chu Liang smiled slightly, "Everyone has arrived, huh? Then I also have to call people."

"Hmph, you still have Jiang Yuebai and Xu Ziyang from Shu Mountain, let them all come out to meet us." The leader of the Shenxing Gate disciples responded.

"Them?" Chu Liang shook his head, "It’s not necessary to deal with you guys."

Chu Liang pressed his hands together and gently made a gesture, revealing a man with the exact same appearance as him amid the flashing light.

Puppet?

No.

It’s Immortal Law, External Avatar!

This Immortal Law could summon an avatar of the same cultivation as the original body within a short period of time, far exceeding the average puppet control technique.

The people Chu Liang said he was going to call were actually himself.

Dealing with one Chu Liang was already quite challenging, now there was another one. The crowd’s faces tightened instantly.

At this moment, it was Chu Liang, who was greatly outnumbered, who initiated the charge first!

Amidst the whistling wind, the two shadows rushed to both sides fearlessly. They were all resilient to poison and possessed top-level cultivation, strong physical bodies, and various divine skills. It’s nothing short of a killing spree.

Two disciples of the Yishan Sect were annihilated in one confrontation, followed by the disciples of the Five Poison Sect.

The disciples of the Five Poison Sect were also quite dismayed, they relied on their inscrutable and unpredictable poison skills, which, despite not being top-notch in cultivation, they held a strong influence in the Eight Gates and Eight Sects no less than the Earthfire Door. Each had their followers, and this time in the Immortal Sects Conference, they intended to compete with the Earthfire Door.

Who would have thought they would meet someone with maxed-out poison resistance, and there was no way to use their poison skills.

Fighting with cultivation level and divine skills, how could they compare with Chu Liang?

Several confrontations and the disciples of the Five Poison Sect were cleanly burned to ashes by Chu Liang’s Divine Dragon Fire. Seeing the situation was not right, the disciples of the Shenxing Gate wanted to resort to their best approach. Among the Eight Gates and Eight Sects, they might not be the best in combat, but they were undoubtedly the best at running away.

The remaining three disciples immediately turned around and fled, each flying in three different directions as fast as lightning!

The two Chu Liang shadows only had time to chase after one each, with a Divine Dragon Fire in the back, dealing with one person each. The last disciple of the Shenxing Gate had fled beyond the valley.

The man was about to escape, just as he was about to show a look of delight, he saw Chu Liang who had taken care of his fellow disciples come free and shoot a green sharp light toward the sky.

Who was that against?

The Shenxing Gate disciple was bewildered for a moment, but then, he felt a pain in his back.

Huh?

Was it me he hit?

The speed of the Flying Leaf Sharp Knife didn’t need to be mentioned, it was the chimera. If Chu Liang had executed the divine technique directly on him, he might have been able to dodge, but that random attack toward the sky, who would have thought it would fall on him?

With a thud, the disciple fell to the ground.

Before he could stand up again, the shadow of Chu Liang had already fallen on him.

"A Da..." Chu Liang’s fists wrapped around the Divine Dragon Fire, continued to fall.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom——

Amid a burst of resounding noise, this last person also tragically turned into a soul crystal.

...

Meanwhile, on the viewing platform outside, the faces of Elder Sun and Huang were serious as they watched the events unfold.

"This Chu Liang seems to always have something new, he might even create some miracles." Elder Sun murmured.

Chu Liang being able to single-handedly and cleanly resolve the attacks of so many people indeed surprised the spectators.

"Whether it’s a miracle or not, why does his technique look so familiar to me?" Elder Huang looked at Chu Liang’s figure and found himself reminiscing over events from sixty years ago.

At this moment, it wasn’t just the two of them who were finding it hard to breathe, but countless elders among the spectators alike.

Right here, right now, it was as if time had travelled back to then and there.

Divine Fire, massive strength, and the sharpest sword of Shu Mountain.

The two elders spoke simultaneously: "It’s really frightening."
