The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 51


Chapter 51 The Martial Arts Contest (1)

“Hehe, Little Ke, I’ll try my sword techniques with this silly boy in this sword pavilion!” Dongfang Xiaoyu said impolitely, looking cocky as if she were elder than anyone else in this world.

“Ah? This… He is the entrant of the Martial Arts Contest, right? And the contest will be held in the sword pavilion, so that, that’s not good… Oh, well, I thought of it, we don’t have a rule that the entrants are not allowed to fight in private. Then I’ll open the door for you. This way, please!” The Void Return man originally wanted to refuse Dongfang Xiaoyu’s request, but when he saw her face go dark, he immediately changed his mind for he thought that if there was something wrong, this overbearing miss would be responsible for it!

At this point, Dongfang Xiaoyu turned around and said to the people behind her. “Silly boy, come with me! The rest of you stay here. No one is allowed to enter it without my order! Otherwise, humph…”

The mansion disciples, standing at the rear of the group, trembled with one accord and immediately nodded. Obviously, it was not the first time they had been threatened like that. They seemed to be quite familiar and fearful of what Dongfang Xiaoyu referred to.

Dongfang Xiaoyu proudly crooked her finger toward Lyu Liang. Then she raised her head, turned around and walked into the sword pavilion. Lyu Liang shook his head helplessly. He cupped his hands to salute his fellows before he followed.

When they arrived at the sword pavilion, Lyu Liang’s eyes lit up. How dense the Primordial Qi was! So many magic swords! In the large sword pavilion, there was a wide platform in the center. Against the walls stood lines of sword racks with magic sharp weapons in the Nascent Soul Level and above.

“Bumpkin, silly boy! You’re amazed by it, right? You haven’t seen it before, right?” Looking at Lyu Liang’s stupid look, Dongfang Xiaoyu felt she had vented her anger.

“Oh, well, my bet is very simple. If I win, I want you to put my team in a group with another team when the 32 final teams are decided. And I want to fight them in the first round.” Lyu Liang’s eyes were full of killing intent as he said this.

Dongfang Xiaoyu was stunned by Lyu Liang’s fierce look. “What happened? He was just like a fool, but now he seemed to have become another person in an instant! Can, can I beat him…”

Dongfang Xiaoyu immediately shook her head and cheered herself inwardly. “What is it in my mind? I must be stronger than him!” Then she suddenly thought that Lyu Liang had not said how to do it if he lost.

“What is your name? And if you lose, what will you do? How about this? You give me your sword if you lose!” When Lyu Liang was fighting in the Thousand Beast Space, Dongfang Xiaoyu had taken a fancy to the Feiling Sword, which was full of intelligence.

“I’m Lyu Liang, the disciple of the Sword Character Immortal Palace in the Wufang Territory. Did you mean the Feiling Sword? No, no! Change one!” Lyu Liang’s head shook like a rattle. On second thought, he immediately added, “And the seal, don’t even think about it!” Now Boy Feiling and Sister Qingci were like relatives in his heart. Even if he had the confidence to win, it was impossible for him to take them as a bet.

Subsequently, Lyu Liang waved his hand. A long dark blue fork which was radiating an archaic aura and a green shield emerged in front of him. Those were the Nascent Soul magic treasures.

“Choose one. As long as you win, I will give you one for free!” Anyway, the two magic weapons were useless to Lyu Liang, who had wanted to throw them away.

Dongfang Xiaoyu thought for a while and pointed at the shield, saying, “Then I want this shield! Deal! Don’t back out!”

Lyu Liang laughed out and made a “please” gesture to Dongfang Xiaoyu, saying loudly, “Little Fairy Dongfang, come on!”

Lyu Liang was fighting inside while the rest of the group were waiting outside. The mansion disciples were flustered for they feared that Dongfang Xiaoyu would get hurt and that they would get into trouble. Although they would not be killed, the punishment was inevitable…

Shangguan Ying and her fellows were anxious about it. They did not mind whether Lyu Liang would lose the fight, but they were worried that his fight with the girl would delay him to participate in the Martial Arts Contest, which would be a great loss to him.

After the time of taking a cup of tea, the door of the sword pavilion was opened. Lyu Liang walked out with a smile on his face. Behind him, Dongfang Xiaoyu looked dejected.

Seeing both of them come out unharmed, everyone felt relieved.

“Big Sister Xiaoyu, I will trouble you later!” Lyu Liang’s mood looked really good and his voice sounded clear and melodious.

However, Dongfang Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable when she heard this. Looking at the smiling Lyu Liang, she violently stamped her foot and furiously ran away. The mansion disciples rushed to follow her.

Shangguan Ying looked at the back of Dongfang Xiaoyu and asked Lyu Liang worriedly. “Has you won that fight? Master told me about the basic information on the Dongfang family of the Thousands Beast Mansion. This girl is the mansion chief Dongfang Badao’s only granddaughter. The next heir to the chief is Dongfang Huo, her father. Dongfang Xiaoyu should be the kind of daughter who has been spoiled since she was a child. If you become her enemy, it will definitely be unfavourable for us!”

Lyu Liang patted Shangguan Ying’s jade-like hand with a calm look, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, although she is stubborn, she won’t be unreasonable. She is just a spoiled girl. As for being her enemy, it’s impossible. She has already agreed to my request. What we have to do is to get into the final 32 teams!”

After more than one hour, the rest time was over. The gate of the sword pavilion was opened. A tall white-haired elder walked out in an imposing manner, radiating an extremely powerful aura. Those, who had a basic understanding of the Dongfang family, were stunned and immediately said to each other by using the sound transmission technique. “Ancestor Dongfang Badao came personally!”

Behind Dongfang Badao, there were five white-robed middle-aged men standing side by side. From left to right, their clothes were embroidered with a lion head, tiger head, bear head, leopard head, and wolf head. Each of them emanated great aura. Obviously, their cultivation were superior to the Fairy Immortal Level.

“They’re the Five Masters of the Dongfang Family!” Someone whispered below.

The six core figures of the Dongfang family walked to the high platform next to the sword pavilion, surrounded by a group of disciples.

Dongfang Badao glanced at the teams below and said loudly, “Everyone, you will be divided into 32 groups. The winner of each group will have the last competition and fight for the qualification to enter the Land of Origin!”

Then the white-robed man with a lion head embroidered on his robe stepped forward and waved at the crowd. Eight streaks of light were scattered into countless ones, which fell on the top of different teams.

After all the teams had the beams of light over their heads, the man in a lion-head white robe said to the crowd. “Now, all the teams line up and go to the sword pavilion to find the huge light door which has the same color as the light over your head, and then you can enter it! OK, let’s get started. Line up to enter it!”

The light over Lyu Liang’s teams was red, so after entering the sword pavilion, they went straight to a red light door. The moment they walked in, they felt dizzy. Then they appeared in a spacious red hall and saw the teams with red light here. When all the teams arrived, Lyu Liang counted and knew there were 16 teams, including his team.

Zhu Yan’s eyes flashed with excitement. He looked around and said, “Oh, oh! It’s interesting! I wonder if there are any decent opponents.”

Lyu Liang smiled slightly and whispered, “Everyone, we have to get into the final 32 teams. It will be the time for a real hard fight. Here, everyone can treat it as a warm-up in advance!”

Looking at the other 15 teams, Lyu Liang was delighted in private, because the 15 teams were the weakest ones that Dongfang Xiaoyu selected for his team!

Lyu Liang indeed won the previous fight. Moreover, he defeated her easily. Only when Dongfang Xiaoyu used the secret technique, “Combination of Humans and Beasts”, did Lyu Liang frown slightly. Then he used the Mind Sword Essence to shatter her ambition of continuing to resist.

Dongfang Xiaoyu lost the fight, but she looked fearless and insisted that Lyu Liang gave her the shield, because she always wanted to have a protective shield! Her grandfather Dongfang Badao agreed to any request of his granddaughter, except that he had strict restrictions on the allocation of the magic treasure. According to the elder’s statement, even if a magic treasure was good, it should be given to the cultivators in the corresponding levels. If he always gave his granddaughter the good weapon, Dongfang Xiaoyu would not make any progress and her cultivation even would be retrograde!

Finally, under Dongfang Xiaoyu’s hard and soft tactics, Lyu Liang gave her the shield. Anyway, it was useless for him, so it was not bad to do her a favor! However, his condition was that aside from the previous bet, Dongfang Xiaoyu would have to put Lyu Liang’s team and the weakest teams in a group. It was a piece of cake for Dongfang Xiaoyu, so she agreed with it without thinking. It was terrific for Lyu Liang. After all, he had to preserve the strength to meet the final competition!

Each of the sixteen teams had a serial number. The mansion disciples would draw lots to decide which two teams would make a duel.

The serial number of Lyu Liang’s team was eight, but they were the first team for the duel. Their opponent seemed to be a team of Rogue Cultivators because they wore different clothes with different adornments.

The three rules of the game:

First, each team sends one member for each duel. The competition plays best of five sets. The team, which wins first 3 sets, will be qualified for the next round. If a participant takes the initiative to admit defeat, falls down from the arena or is beaten to the extent of losing his or her ability to resist, he or she will lose the fight.

Second, the duelers is free to use any skills or magic treasures. Killing is also allowed. The team members are not allowed to interfere the duelers, and vice versa.

Third, if a team loses its three members in the duels, it will automatically lose the qualification for subsequent competition.

With a loud sound of the gong, the preliminary contest officially began. The first person Lyu Liang’s team sent was Li Wuyi, who had been looking forward to the duel. His opponent was a tall straight middle-aged man, who held a steel fork in his hand and looked at Li Wuyi with a sneer. At the same time, he radiated the Late-stage Gold Core aura.

Li Wuyi smiled. A round plate floated in front of him. He stared excitedly at the man, like watching a delicious dish. Then he whispered, “Fuck! It’s finally my turn! Son of bitch! I am coming!”
