Chapter 337 Blazing Kill
“Under such conditions, you are still able to kill others, is it the legendary ‘Blazing Kill Trap?” As Wen Xiaojing stared at the black-robed man, she suddenly whispered, “Run to a crowded place and get out of the city first!”
As the black-robed man waved his hands, more than a dozen men jumped from the tree behind him, all of them holding knives, and they looked merciless. They were all Men of Sacrifice!
At the same time, behind Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing, there were also a dozen black-robed men, who appeared silently and instantly surrounded them in all directions.
“We are in trouble.” Lyu Liang felt helpless. In the current situation with him being a mortal, he could win in a typical fight with a man or a beast. However, when he was up against a group of martial arts masters who outnumbered them, the odds of him winning was almost zero…
“There is still hope.” Wen Xiaojing whispered in a voice that only Lyu Liang could hear, and then suddenly shouted, “Yao Wenlong!” “Since you are here, show yourself!”
“Yao Wenlong…?” “How come it sounds so familiar, oh, it’s him!” Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment, but then his eyes narrowed as he recalled an unforgettable experience.
This should be the first time that Lyu Liang heard of Yao Wenlong’s name. However, during his ten lives as Zhao Tianqi, he was no stranger to him. He was the blue-robed young man who was the culprit revealed in the eleventh life! Through the Soul-Searching conducted at that time, he knew that he was the only son of the Yao Clan of the four influential families in Sanctuary, Goddess Nyu Wa space, Yao Wenlong!
Although it was none of his business, Lyu Liang still felt the pain from the tragedy of the Zhao Family and Zhao Tianqi. However, he could not act impulsively now. Otherwise, even if he was pursued by the Yao Clan all over the world, he would not mind killing this bastard!
After Wen Xiaojing shouted, except for the black-robed man who surrounded them, it was still a quiet world with only the sound of birds chirping.
“Dear, it seems we are going to die here today.” Wen Xiaojing suddenly turned around unexpectedly at this moment, wrapped her arms around Lyu Liang’s waist, and looked at him with confused eyes. Even though Lyu Liang knew she was just faking it, he could not help, but feel attracted to her.
“Xiaojing!” “What did you call him!” In less than a breath’s time, an angry voice came from the front. Then a blue-robed young man appeared from behind the black-robed man, accompanied by a hunched back old man.
“Anyway, you’re going to kill me, so why do you care?” Wen Xiaojing turned her face away. Any man would feel heartbroken when he saw the grievance in her eyes.
The black-robed men were the elite of the Men of Sacrifice, but that did not include Yao Wenlong! His expression immediately changed and he hurried forward, “Xiao Jing!” “Don’t you know how I feel about you!” “My dad and uncle Ji are going to kill you!” “I sneaked into the Mortal World. As long as you obey me, I will protect you, even if I die.”
Before Wen Xiaojing could answer, the old man next to him pulled his sleeves and said, “Young master!” “This is impossible!” “We have used three teams of men which have destroyed master’s must-kill trap. While the Blazing Kill Trap is still running, we must kill these two people immediately, or else there may be changes!”
“Young Lord, Wen Xiaojing is smart, you can’t…” The big man in black not far beside him, also echoed his words, at this time.
“Since I am the Young Lord, you have to listen to me here!” Yao Wenlong seemed to be domineering, and at the same time, with an inaudible voice, he whispered to the two, “I just want to play with her, you can kill her after that!” “With such a rigorous trap, I don’t believe they can escape from it!”
Having said that, he ignored the old man and the man in black and rushed to Wen Xiaojing. He smiled and stretched his hand, “How can a gorgeous lady like you be willing to be the Taoist companion of a kid from the Mortal World?” “Do you think I am an idiot?” “Come on. I am a man of my words. I will do what I promised!” “This Blazing Kill Trap also has the effect of blocking out sounds, so you don’t have to think about asking people for help!”
A hand stretched out from the opposite side this time, but it was not Wen Xiaojing’s tender and soft hands. Instead, it was Lyu Liang’s dark and stout arm, which instantly grabbed hold of Yao Wenlong’s chest, like picking up a chick. He caught hold of him, and before everyone could react, a small dagger was placed against Yao Wenlong’s neck, almost cutting into it.
“Everyone, step back a hundred feet!” “Make way!” “Otherwise, if I die, I will kill your Young Lord as well!” Lyu Liang looked like a bandit at this moment. With his sharp moves, he looked like a recidivist who robbed for a living.
“You’re not that stupid.” Wen Xiaojing smiled slyly, seemingly satisfied with Lyu Liang’s performance.
“Am I learning the good from you or the bad?” Lyu Liang grinned and turned to Yao Wenlong, who had not recovered from the huge shock. He threatened, “If you don’t want to die, ask your people to make way!” “If you don’t say anything now, I will just scratch your face first!”
“No!” “No!” “You, and you, move, everyone move!” To no one’s surprise, the young master pointed at the front and the rear hysterically. After all, nothing was more important than his own life.
“What is a Blazing Kill Trap?” While the black-robed men started to retreat, Lyu Liang held onto Yao Wenlong and moved slowly. He asked softly to get more information.
“In the mortal world, not every mortal does mortal things.” Wen Xiaojing followed him and explained, “Some talented mortals have invented an array unit of immortal standards. Although it does not affect cultivators, it is a perfect array to kill a mortal.” “The Blazing Kill Trap is one of these array units.”
“If we die in the unit, are we really dead?” Lyu Liang was a little bit embarrassed when he thought of it. He had the cultivation, and if he died as a mortal, he would feel so unlucky.
“Well, the Blazing Kill Trap is based on six 33-feet stone pillars, engraved with twelve earthly branches, and surrounds the array in a special layout. The base will be covered by a concoction of 49 days burnt child ash and nitrate in a fixed proportion. Finally, find a rare Yang-charactered haze wood and hang it on the pillar, and the array is formed.” Wen Xiaojing’s tone was dignified. “Its legendary function is to detain the soul. If we die here, our souls will disappear too.”
Although Wen Xiaojing spoke slowly, and her explanation was concise and clear, Lyu Liang was still confused. However, he understood the statement ‘dead means really dead’.
While talking, they had come to the gap in the encirclement. Although all the black-robed men had retreated, the old man who had followed Yao Wenlong had not moved, his dazzling eyes were shining and he seemed to be contemplating something.
“You better move, eh?” “Oh shit!” Lyu Liang stopped in front of the old man, about 33 feet away and was halfway through his speech. Suddenly the hunched old man rushed toward him with lightning speed! A green knife shining mercilessly in the light, was imbedded into his Young Lord’s neck!
At the same time, the seemingly ordinary gold chain on Yao Wenlong’s neck burst with a blaze of magnificent light, illuminating the dark sky. An angry roar sounded, “You dare to touch my son, prepare for death!”
While the lights flashed everywhere, within a thousand feet, the aura of the cultivation world began to be restored. In less than a breath, strange black ripples appeared in the space and the aura of the cultivation disappeared again!
Although Lyu Liang immediately retreated on the other side, Wen Xiaojing’s response was a step faster. She took advantage of the moment when she restored her cultivation and then pulled Lyu Liang back. Then the two of them flickered with golden light and disappeared.
“They could not have gone far, kill them!” “Zhao Xuanqing!” “If it succeeds, I will not blame you for using my troops. Otherwise, your cultivation path will end here!” After the golden shadow shouted out this sentence, it disappeared.
“Follow me, everyone!” “No matter alive or dead!” Yao Wenlong’s neck oozed with blood. At this time, he lost his dignity, and his face looked merciless. He waved his hand and took the lead in running toward the western side. The other black-robed men followed the leader’s wave and caught up.
After a while, the bustling city center rang out with screams and shouts from time to time…
While all the black-robed men gave chase, together with Yao Wenlong, the leading big man deliberately walked to the back after waving his hand. When he walked past the old man, he seemed to be asking for something.
The old man’s eyes turned chaotic again, and he seemed to nod inadvertently. Then he whispered faintly “Of the three people, if the two do not die, kill the one who is easiest to kill…”
…
At the same time, when Sleepless City was in chaos, a series of significant events occurred in the far away space of Goddess Nyu Wa.
The incident was simple. That was, Guangling Clan, which had been infamous for a long time, was wiped out in less than two hours. Everyone in the sect, including the chief, was dead.
The process and the meaning revealed inside made many people feel the impending strange aura…
Although Guangling Clan had a poor reputation, its business involved a wide range of sects. It had the backup of three influential families, except for the Jiang Family. Besides, the Kong Family of Remote Antiquity was also its ally. So its influence was big.
However, in this thunder strike, the Jiang family took the lead, and the family that followed closely in the joint operation, turned out to be the most useless Wen Clan! Wen Clan changed its previous humble style and directly attacked the Ji Clan’s supporting force!
On the other side, the Yao family’s support forces were blocked by the Donghuang Family in the same sanctuary. Although there was no fierce fighting between the two sides, Donghuang’s chief Donghuang Zhi, said in a casual yet determined way, “Move one more step forward and we will fight to death!”
The Kong Family of Remote Antiquity had already sent troops to the edge of the sanctuary, but they did not even enter it. With the arrival of urgent instructions, they withdrew all their manpower. And the information revealed by that instruction made many people think that something fishy was going on: an unprecedented riot occurred among the wild beasts raised by the Kong Family!
According to informed personnel, it turned out to be caused by an ancient beast! The news attracted everyone’s attention. They did not care about the riot, but the movement from the forbidden area of Remote Antiquity.
There had been an agreement between the forbidden area and the Kong Family, which only allowed them to raise wild beasts of the Wildness level. Now there was an ancient level. Thus, as agreed, one of the ten Great Elders, a dragon emperor with golden horns of the twin dragon emperors, came over. Even the Divine Ancestor Palace in the forbidden area of Remote Antiquity was not willing to offend him. The Kong Family created a commotion, but Kong Family’s chief Kong Wuming suddenly appeared and calmed everyone down. However, they no longer had the time to help the Guangling Clan…
By right, even if there was no help from the outside, the Guangling Clan’s resources should be able to defend itself against the attack of the Jiang Family.
What caused the sect to lose so quickly was indeed a series of weird changes that took place within the sect.
First, the Sect-Protection Formation disappeared inexplicably. Then, in the Soul Locking Array which was regarded as the core of the sect, all the leading members of the sect were injured by a mysterious figure, including Guang Lingzi. And that was what caused them to lose the battle. Someone faintly saw that when the Soul Locking Array was destroyed, he seemed to have seen Wudao Zi, who was supposed to have disappeared in the Mortal World and an unknown gorgeous lady. They both disappeared later…
When the battle came to an end, the remnants of the Guangling Clan planned to escape, but because the Jiang Family were in the north and the Donghuang Family were in the south, they could only run toward the east-west direction.
But no matter where they went, it was a deadly situation!
Because the Skull Spirit Temple in the east, which had been quiet for thousands of years, suddenly made its move! They came with a wipeout attack!
On the west side, Infernal Purgatory, which had been damaged due to Yu Wudao’s disappearance, under the lead of a black-robed youth, killed the rest of the Guangling Clan.
Some alert people recognized that the leading young man seemed to be the inseparable person who followed Yu Wudao, and later disappeared for thousands of years. His identity and name were also announced in a high-profile way: the new chief of Infernal Purgatory, ‘Pluto’ Li Xiaolang!
