Chapter 923: The Treasure In The Gorge (2/2)
He chuckled, ”Kid, I, Wu Liang, will die here today. But you are going to die with me…”
Wu Liang’s words stopped abruptly. He stared at Mo Wuji in shock and he muttered, ”This is not possible. Why aren’t you poisoned?”
At this moment, Mo Wuji felt a terrifying venom assailing him; his detoxification channel continuously converted this poison in elemental energy.
”So that poison wasn’t manifested due to Wu Liang’s Five Elemental String.” Mo Wuji immediately came to a realisation when he saw Wu Liang’s face of defeat. The poison wasn’t from the Five Elemental String but this gorge. Both him and Wu Liang didn’t notice it. Thereafter, the Five Elemental String pierced through his body, allowing the poison to invade inside him. He only managed to detect the poison when his detoxification channel went into action.
Previously, he thought that Wu Liang was the one that poisoned him. Now, he knew that it wasn’t related to Wu Liang. Because at this instant, Wu Liang was also poisoned.
Mo Wuji no longer cared about Wu Liang. He didn’t need to do anything; this poison was enough to easily kill Wu Liang. His gaze turned towards an eight-sided crystal floating behind Wu Liang. This crystal was the size of a fist and it was floating above the crushed rocks.
When Mo Wuji’s spiritual will landed on that crystal, the majestic aura of the Heaven and Earth came surging over. At the same time, he felt an immense pressure. This pressure was so strong that it made it hard for him to breath. Mo Wuji hurriedly retracted his spiritual will as he stared at this crystal in shock.
”What is this?” Mo Wuji muttered to himself. Ever since he came to God Domain, he furiously filled himself with knowledge on various kinds of materials and herbs. However, he actually didn’t recognise this eight-sided crystal.
”You actually don’t recognise this thing, you’re…” Wu Liang suddenly started to chuckle. His energy was getting weaker.
Mo Wuji stared at Wu Liang coldly, ”What’s this thing?”
Wu Liang finally stopped his maniacal laughter. He looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of irrepressible envy, ”You are under a disguise, right? If I’m not wrong, you are the one that took away the Medicinal Cauldron Stone when the newly incubated God Domain Nest first opened. That person that took it also disguised himself.”
Mo Wuji said faintly, ”Seeing that you are about to die, I will tell you the truth. You’re right, I’m the one that took the Medicinal Cauldron Stone.”
When Wu Liang heard Mo Wuji’s confession, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. He, himself, had obtained many opportunities, but he was never like Mo Wuji, to obtain so many great opportunities in a single year. If he could move, he would definitely strangle Mo Wuji and take away all those treasures.
”Tell me, did you attack me because of Qu You?” Wu Liang stared at Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji really attacked him because of a woman, he, Wu Liang, would really die with regrets.
”Thin monkey. A man of your eminence is apt to be forgetful. Not long ago, you even prayed for me to live longer. I didn’t think that you would forget it so quickly. Let me tell you, my name is Mo Wuji…” Mo Wuji took a step forward and looked down coldly at Wu Liang.
When Wu Liang heard Mo Wuji’s name, he was instantly stunned still. After some time, he said with a trembling voice, ”It’s you, it’s actually you…”
He finally understood why Mo Wuji didn’t get affected when his name, Senior Brother Death, was mentioned. Back then, he thought that Mo Wuji was a fool that didn’t know how impressive the Ten Vicious Cultivators were. That was why he chuckled towards Mo Wuji and prayed for Mo Wuji to live a long life. During that time, he had already decided to kill Mo Wuji. It was just that he didn’t meet Mo Wuji since then.
Now, he finally understood that it wasn’t because Mo Wuji didn’t know about the Ten Vicious Cultivators. Instead, it was because this fella didn’t even place the Ten Vicious Cultivators in his heart… At the same time, he also knew why Mo Wuji wanted to kill him. He was obsessed with killing the disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Even on the Battle Stage itself, he killed more than one Heavenly Mortal Sect disciple. It would be weird if Mo Wuji didn’t want to kill him.
”Pff!” He coughed out a mouthful of black blood. Wu Liang cried out harshly, ”I hate you! What virtues and abilities do you have? To actually be able to obtain the Medicinal Cauldron Stone and the Primal God Lattice…”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Liang’s head tilted to the side. All signs of life disappeared without a trace.
It’s actually a Primal God Lattice? Mo Wuji looked at that eight-sided crystal in shock. He knew how valuable the Primal God Lattice was; it was something that exceeded a Five Star God Lattice. It was something of legends; he didn’t think that he would actually see one in real life.
Seeing the Primal God Lattice of legend was indeed enough to excite Mo Wuji. However, unlike other cultivators, Mo Wuji didn’t anxiously rush over and grab it.
Other Heavenly Immortals needed to condense their immortal lattice. He, on the other hand, didn’t condense an immortal lattice. However, wasn't he still able to reach the Nascent God Stage? Thus, a god lattice, even the Primal God Lattice, wasn’t enough to excite Mo Wuji greatly.
On the other hand, his gaze landed on the dead Wu Liang. Wu Liang’s life force had disappeared and his Laws had dispersed. These were clear signs that he was dead.
Mo Wuji didn’t leave it like that. He swept Wu Liang’s ring away. At the same time, he threw a ball of fire towards Wu Liang.
The lifeless Wu Liang suddenly opened his eyes. He cried out harshly, ”Mo Wuji, you’re truly vicious…”
Mo Wuji was really got a shock. He actually couldn't tell that this fella was alive. At this moment, his Scholar's Heart began to burn with greater frenzy. Instants later, Wu Liang was completely burned into nothingness.
