The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 177 Liu Jiawen’s Determination

Looking at this formidable puppet, Lyu Liang felt somewhat helpless. The Soul Breaking Palm had consumed the last of his Devil Immortal Qi, and it would take at least half an hour to recover his strength with an ultimate-grade Primordial Stone.

Looking at the puppet only 10 meters away from him, Lyu Liang gave a wry smile and shook his head. But he still pulled out an ultimate-grade Primordial Stone and began recovering.

“You want to fight this guy? By the time you’ve recovered, you will have been hacked to pieces!” Liu Jiawen stared at Lyu Liang curiously with admiration in her eyes. However, a hint of slyness also flashed across her eyes.

By this time, Lyu Liang had stood up. Seeing the puppet approach them slowly, he said resignedly, “After all, we can’t wait for it to kill us. At least I should try! I will try my best to stall it, and you run as fast as you can before it accelerates. It seems that I can’t protect you this time.”

“What about the move that you used to kill those spirit servers? Can it destroy this guy?” Liu Jiawen blinked, showing no intention of running away.

Lyu Liang defended in front of Liu Jiawen, and as he saw the puppet walking nearer, he said softly, “It takes time. I can’t stimulate the move within two and a half hours! I can only play it by ear now!”

Just at that moment, the puppet, who had been walking slowly, disappeared suddenly. When it showed up again, it was brandishing the eight swords at Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen.

When Lyu Liang was about to flash away, he had been brought by a mighty force 30 meters away from the puppet.

As Lyu Liang was stunned, Liu Jiawen defended in front of him, just as he had done just now, and said, “You have half an hour to get recovered and two and a half hours to prepare the move, and I’ll hold it off. But probably, I will slice the puppet into pieces during this period!”

“Ah? Your cultivation... eh?! When did it recover?!” Just when Lyu Liang wanted to stop her, he found that her aura had risen to the Peak of Almighty Immortal.

With a complacent look on her face, Liu Jiawen tilted her head, smiled, and said, “I had recovered my strength when the fog and gauze disappeared! I was so aggrieved just now. Let me vent it on this bucky guy! Step back! I’ll fight it!” Then, she flew at the puppet directly, regardless of what Lyu Liang wanted to say.

“Be careful! This guy is so weird. It may have some other moves, so you must be very, very careful!” Lyu Liang messaged her through the Divine Sense directly. Then, he began recovering himself and preparing the move.

“Secret Realm of Paper Cranes!” A roar burst out. Then, a thousand paper cranes appeared in the sky and besieged the puppet at once.

At the same time, a beam of golden light flashed out above Liu Jiawen. Then, a large pennant appeared, showing five golden dragons, who let out several roars and flew out of the flag. Each of them had the cultivation above the Early-stage of Tao Master!

“Let me show you a rare treasure of Remote Antiquity, the Five-Dragon Divine Pennant!” Liu Jiawen didn’t plan to buy time at all. Instead, with a bright flash, she turned into a 30-meter-tall, single-horned giant, and swung at the puppet directly.

Seeing Liu Jiawen’s fighting style, Lyu Liang sighed with relief and felt reassured inside.

It seemed that the puppet could neither fly nor attack from a distance, but its spiritual intelligence was not low. After it had killed a dozen paper cranes, it gave up on attacking and covered itself with a golden defense. As such, these paper cranes could also affect the puppet’s Spiritual Qi.

But what caused the greatest harm to the puppet were the five golden dragons flying in the sky. Each of them was over 20 meters long, spurting flashes of lightning, which had cut off the puppet’s two arms!

Liu Jiawen also rushed at it and gave its head a tough blow, which made it stagger backward directly.

As such, it seemed that Liu Jiawen had beaten the puppet. But Lyu Liang was still frowning because the puppet hadn’t exerted the strength that matched its cultivation.

Liu Jiawen seemed to have realized that, and didn’t forget to defend with over a hundred paper cranes, as she attacked with full strength.

After one and a half hours, the puppet had only three available arms. A crackle sounded in its body, and then, its head catapulted at Liu Jiawen directly, just like a bomb.

Before the head touched Liu Jiawen, it had exploded, with a cloud of turbid, gray gas bursting out.

“Run!” Lyu Liang noticed the turbid gas at once because the paper cranes lost their glory and fell onto the ground directly after touching the gas.

Liu Jiawen turned back to her original appearance with a stern look, and all the remaining paper cranes gathered in front of her.

With a bright flash, the puppet turned into a human form, with two heads, four arms, and two wings on its back. It was only about 15 meters tall, much shorter than the previous one, but its aura was still at the Early-stage of Tao Master.

The five golden dragons rushed over and spurted flashes of lightning at it. But the puppet was much more robust, and it took only a step back after five or six slashes. Then, it pounced directly at Liu Jiawen.

However, Liu Jiawen was calm. She stimulated a strange handprint, muttering some incantation.

At the same time, the five golden dragons turned into five 15-meters-tall, golden-armored Immortal Generals, each holding a golden spear, rushing at the puppet at once.

After only half an hour, the puppet was injured all over by the golden spears.

But it was not over yet. The puppet opened its mouth suddenly, and with a white flash, it spat out a massive net, which trapped the five Immortal Generals tightly inside it.

At the same time, the puppet began trembling and bursting. When the smoke dissipated, a bewitching cyan-robed man appeared!

This man had straight eyebrows and sharp eyes, yet his lips were soft and red, and the four blood-red petals were dashing on his head. He was smiling softly, with his hands clutched behind his back, looking at Liu Jiawen and Lyu Liang with interest.

“I never expected that someone could get me out here! I’m curious how you found the Heaven Prestige Fortress. Compared with the little girl of the Liu family, I’m more interested in you, who has the Donghuang blood!” The man’s voice was melodious, yet it gave off a strong sense of oppression.

Liu Jiawen’s pupils broadened gradually, and then, with a finger pointing at the man, she blurted out surprisingly, “Ancestor Tongtian! You’re Ancestor Tongtian of the Fang family!” “I’ve seen your portrayal! Why are you here?! Shouldn’t you be...”

“Hahaha, did they tell you that I went to the universe space and disappeared from public life? Alas! My old friends have been taking pains to ensure the tranquility of later generations! If so, just let me cooperate with them!” A hint of reminiscence flashed across the man’s eye, but then, a destructive aura burst out from him in a second. At the same time, two double-winged puppets with horrific auras appeared beside him.

Lyu Liang had stimulated a Soul Breaking Palm, but he didn’t plan to fight the man and the puppets. He knew that if the man wanted to kill them, he couldn’t rival him at all. And he decided to see what the man planned to do because he didn’t sense any murderous intention.

The man looked at Liu Jiawen with a smile, and then he said softly, “You should be the third generation. For your grandfather’s sake, I can spare you today. Step back. After I deal with the guy behind you, I will get you out.”

“Senior Fang, could you let of both of us go?” Liu Jiawen clutched her hands respectfully, with hope in her eyes.

But the man shook his head and said, “My mission is to remove all the risks that may break the seal, so even if I don’t kill him, I have to imprison him here. Is that okay?”

Liu Jiawen was stunned, and when she was about to reply, Lyu Liang said, “I came here by accident, and I really don’t know what the Donghuang blood is. The voice of my friend is coming from the fortress, and I ventured here for it. If you don’t want to let go of me, please allow my friend to leave here. If so, I will obey you!”

Lyu Liang understood that they couldn’t rival the man, so he decided to save the girl first. As for himself, he would play it by ear!

“Are you mad?! You want to stay in this forsaken place for the rest of your life? I don’t even know how to come back in if I go out of here! You can’t go with him! We can fight him. I still have some mysterious treasures to use!” Liu Jiawen raised her eyebrows with an air of determination.

“Fairy Jiawen, I beg you to go away first! This senior is apparently kind to you. You go first, and I will try to escape!” Lyu Liang messaged Liu Jiawen, trying to persuade her to give up her unrealistic idea.

“No way!” “If I go first, I’m not Liu Jiawen! You don’t know how powerful this senior is! Do you think everyone can use ‘Tongtian’ as his Taoism Title? Once you’re caught, you can’t escape, and he may even change you into a puppet. If so, the rest of your life will be worse than death!” Liu Jiawen said uncompromisingly.

“Hoho, as you said, I’m almost a ruthless villain! To be honest, this guy is indeed precious material for making a puppet, but I also have my principles. After all, he has Donghuang blood, and I can’t do that for my old friend’s sake.” The man smiled slightly, seemingly having known what they had said.

Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen didn’t care about what the man said at all, but stared tightly at each other. After a moment, Lyu Liang sighed in resignation. Then, he defended in front of Liu Jiawen, and said softly, “If so, let’s fight desperately! Meeting you in this life is the second happiest thing for me!”

“Step back! I don’t want to die after you, or... I will be sad...” Liu Jiawen cried, but then her voice became almost inaudible.

Seeing the two try to protect each other, the man couldn’t help laughing. As he waved his hand, both the puppets and his aura disappeared. Then, he clapped his hands, and said, with a smile, “Good! Good! Good! You’re loyal and selfless. With you here, we old guys didn’t sacrifice in vain! I’ve changed my mind! Now that you have the Donghuang blood and you can hear her voice, you are the pre-destined one for her! Just go into the Heaven Prestige Fortress by yourself. As for how much you can do, I am here to wait and see!”
