Chapter 61 The Fifth Move of Heart Swordsmanship (1/2)
Outside the house, when Lyu Liang dragged the iron sword as he came out, the saber-toothed giant beast that had been roaring incessantly suddenly quieted down.
At this moment, Lyu Liang appeared very calm. He recalled the many things that happened in the past and the many things he wanted to accomplish in the future. However, it seemed that now he would not be able to complete any of them. Even though he moved slowly, his steps were not hesitant as he made his way forward.
The fierce beast seemed to stare at him judgementally and surprisingly, it spoke, ”You will continue with this fight?”
Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment but continued walking. He smiled back and said, ”If we don't have this battle, can we survive?”
The giant beast shook its head and said, ”You do have a choice. If you are willing to hand over that little girl, I will not only let you leave here but will give you a big fortune as well. How's that?”
Lyu Liang did not stop at all. He replied without even raising his head, ”Let's fight then! If I die, can I sacrifice myself for her to live?”
The giant beast suddenly stretched and lifted its front paw. A wave rippled through the air. The figure of Dongfang Xiaoyu suddenly appeared at Lyu Liang's side. She was lying down with her eyes closed.
Lyu Liang was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to protect her. His calm eyes suddenly glittered like a fierce beast that threatened to devour everything in front of him. He gritted his teeth, ”What are you doing! Are you afraid to face a disabled man like me? How dare you put my companion in danger! No matter how powerful you are, as long as I am alive, you will never touch her!”
The giant beast kept calm and then tempted him again, saying, ”I will give you another choice. It will still result in her death, but as a reward, I will resurrect your mother, how about it?”
”What!” Lyu Liang's body trembled, staring at the giant beast in disbelief and asked it earnestly, ”Do you know my secret? You have the secret method to 'Rebuild the bones and revive the dead'?”
The giant beast seemed to be satisfied with the current state Lyu Liang was in and it smiled, ”Of course! Once you move aside and let me swallow this girl, everything that I just said will become a reality! I can also tell you the whereabouts of your Master! How about it, aren't these the ultimate goals in your life?”
”I... I want you to die!” Suddenly, Lyu Liang, who was initially stumbling, shot towards the giant beast like a flying arrow. He lifted the iron sword and slashed strongly at its front paws!
”Stupid!” The giant beast gave deafening roar, then lifted its front paws and swiped at Lyu Liang. ”Kuang,” with a loud noise, Lyu Liang flew backwards and landed at the side of Dongfang Xiaoyu. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
”Stupid! Don't you see it, even if you are intact, you can never be my opponent! You want to get the fortune but not pay the price? This is the last chance for you to back off!” The giant beast was furious. With every word it uttered, the ground trembled slightly.
”Back off? If I do as you say, even if my mom comes back to life and I found my Master, what I have done will kill them again! Even with my own will, I will never do that! Come on! Merciless Heaven and Earth! Take Everything as Dogs! You may be the master here, but you are just a slave outside!” Lyu Liang shakily stood up again, stood in front of Dongfang Xiaoyu, dragged his sword and moved ahead.
Lyu Liang didn't notice that Dongfang Xiaoyu, who was lying behind him, had burst into tears. However, her eyes were still closed and her lips quivered slightly and she couldn't make any sound.
Suddenly, golden light radiated from the eyes of the giant beast. Dongfang Xiaoyu, who was lying on the ground, started sliding towards the beast.
Under the shocked gaze of Lyu Liang, the triumphant voice of the giant beast said, ”Kid, do you think that there is no other way even if you refuse to back off? I shall tear her into pieces in front of you and let you see how what a stupid choice you have made!”
Looking at Dongfang Xiaoyu who was inching closer and closer to the giant beast, Lyu Liang had a crazed look on his face. He howled angrily, lowered his head and suddenly he began to tremble violently.
Just as the claws of the giant beast were about to reach for Dongfang Xiaoyu, suddenly, a virtual human shadow appeared in the air. It struck out at the forepaws of the giant beast with lightning speed.
”Arghhh!” The giant beast howled loudly as its forepaw had actually been lopped off. At the same time, it was flung back a few meters in an instant. Then, it stared at Lyu Liang who was nearby and said, ”Virtual Sword Status! This is...incredible!”
At this moment, Lyu Liang's eyes were half-closed and a burning mark gleamed on his forehead. His body was floating in the air; he stretched his arms forward and placed his two palms together. Although he still had the aura of a mortal, countless virtual human shadows constantly emerged from his body, some slow, some fast. But the fast- moving shadows were only after one goal - the saber-toothed giant beast in front of them!
The giant beast had a solemn look and suddenly it exuded a strong Demon Qi that was visible even to the naked eye. The Demon Qi quickly turned into a light green shield which protected itself.
At this point, the many virtual shadows there constantly rammed against the green shield and even though no auras could be felt, the light green shield would tremble violently with each collision.
The giant beast's solemn gaze changed to one that was full of praise. Then, it nodded slightly, ”You are good! For the past ten thousand years, you are the first person who can fight against the cultivation of my Divided Soul!”
Then, the giant beast's body emitted a golden light and it gradually shrank in size. Finally, it turned into a green-robed bald old man, who had a benevolent air about him. The only weird thing about him was the long tusks growing from both sides of his mouth. He grinned at Lyu Liang, raised his arm and said, ”Quiet!”
