It was not Chu Liang’s fault.

His first reaction upon hearing this was, there were clearly three undercover agents, yet you claimed there was only one. Could it be that the other two were arranged by you?

Upon further thought, he realized this was impossible. Both Luo Yao and Pǔ Shàn had clear lineages and identities, it was highly unlikely they were fake. It must be that the Earth Fiend only discovered one, hence his statement.

“There is a traitor among us.”

“I am currently sending you two a message. As soon as I make a move, you must immediately attack ‘Sixty’. I fear she has means to contact the outside world, so we must kill her in one strike.”

The Earth Fiend said so.

Only then did Chu Liang understand. He must have been closer to Luo Yao earlier, and perhaps had some contact with “Sixty” before, knowing that his methods were not as such.

That’s why he determined that this “Sixty” was fake.

As for why he didn’t reveal this to the main force earlier, a little thought made it clear. The Southern Route Guide placed great importance on this operation. If a traitor infiltrated the ranks of an Earth Fiend, causing the operation to fail, they would certainly face retribution.

That’s why he wanted to take “Sixty” out of the team and quietly deal with her, pretending nothing happened.

It was a kind of evasion of responsibility, a cover-up mentality.

But he didn’t know what a heavy price he would pay for this wishful thinking…

Pǔ Shàn also received the Earth Fiend’s message. He nodded slightly upon hearing it, then immediately shouted, “Attack!”

“Huh?” The other three were all taken aback.

The Earth Fiend was shocked and angry. I only informed you to cooperate with me, when did it become your turn to give orders? If you startle the snake in the grass with this sudden move, you will be punished!

But before he could get angry, he found that the three of them had simultaneously made their move.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao instantly cast her forbidden spell again. This tactic, specifically designed to counter the experts of the Underworld Sect, finally fell on a real Underworld Sect demon cultivator today.

In an instant, the shackles of the forbidden spell descended again.

Chu Liang was already used to this. Taking advantage of the close distance, he immediately pulled out half a gold brick and rushed forward, slapping the brick towards the Earth Fiend!

Pǔ Shàn’s body also lit up with seven colors, shining like colored glaze, activating his Ten Thousand Laws Colored Glaze Body! Immediately after, he launched a powerful divine ability.

Boom——

A tall Buddha figure appeared behind him, and the giant Buddha pushed out a giant palm!

The Great Sun Tathagata!

In an instant, the three of them launched their attacks simultaneously.

The Earth Fiend was almost caught off guard. His attention was all on “Sixty” just now. When he heard “Fifty-Nine” shout to attack first, he was about to get angry, but now he understood.

Oh.

So, they were attacking me?

This series of moves was also a killing formation that the three of them had previously discussed. Even a fifth-stage expert would find it hard to escape!

Facing this situation, the Earth Fiend showed no panic. He crossed his arms to block the closest brick from Chu Liang.

Bang——

The power of ten tigers in this brick clearly exceeded his expectations. The sound of bones breaking followed, but his body was thrown back by the force!

He didn’t resist at all, first taking the hit and using the force to try to escape! He was sure that this hit wouldn’t kill him!

And indeed, he was now at the third level of the fifth stage, having undergone the refinement of gold and wood, he must have tempered his body during the previous upgrades.

Chu Liang’s full-force brick only broke two of his forearm bones. As long as the forbidden spell was lifted, he could recover from this external injury immediately!

But then a giant palm fell from the sky. Pǔ Shàn’s palm was a hundred times more ruthless than Chu Liang’s brick!

The Earth Fiend was covered by the palm shadow. He used all his strength to slap his chest, “Puff——”

With this self-inflicted palm, he spat out a puff of blood mist. This blood mist quickly formed a barrier in mid-air, protecting the Earth Fiend.

He had even refined his own blood!

Even if he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, it carried a strong spiritual nature, not inferior to divine abilities. As soon as this blood wall appeared, it immediately blocked Pǔ Shàn’s Buddha palm.

Bang!

Although it was shaky, it managed to hold on.

After these two hits, Luo Yao’s figure trembled, and the forbidden spell could no longer be maintained, shattering with a loud bang.

She was, after all, only a fourth-stage cultivator. The fact that she could use the forbidden spell across realms was already quite impressive, naturally, it couldn’t last too long.

The Earth Fiend took these two hits, seeming to be somewhat injured, but apparently not seriously. The tenacity of a fifth-stage cultivator was fully demonstrated in this brief moment.

With the disappearance of the forbidden spell, his cultivation returned, and his courage increased greatly. He spread his arms, and his bones were restored.

“So all three of you are traitors!” His voice was filled with rage, “Die, all of you!”If revealing one spy was his mistake, then having all his men turn out to be spies was his ultimate humiliation. Thinking about how all the people in the previous Soul Arrest Order were frauds except for him, his anger was beyond words.

With a swing of his arms, hundreds of shadows sprung out from behind him, all the ghostly creatures he had nurtured over the years.

With a flip of his palm, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons began!

At the same time, Luo Yao also unleashed her power. Facing a formidable enemy, the young girl didn’t hold back. With a cold expression, she made a decisive move, and three arms sprang out from behind her!

Each of these three arms held a paper umbrella, one black, one white, and one red!

Boom——

Seeing the hundreds of ghosts rolling towards them, Luo Yao opened her three paper umbrellas, and the lights of black, white, and red appeared together.

“Ah ah ah——”

The ghosts on the other side all let out screams, seemingly terrified of Luo Yao’s three ghosts.

Luo Yao’s figure flashed, the black-clothed ghost holding her waist, allowing her to move as if teleporting; the white-clothed ghost circling her, protecting her from any harm; the red-clothed ghost following closely behind, killing without mercy!

Seeing her charging over, the Earth Fiend was secretly alarmed. He stomped his right foot on the ground and shouted, “Stop!”

Hiss——

In an instant, several black thorns broke through the ground, spreading rapidly, trapping Luo Yao like a weapon. Even the protection of the white-clothed ghost couldn’t completely block it, because these thorns were aimed at the soul!

Whether it was the three ghosts or Luo Yao herself, they couldn’t move a bit once pierced by these thorns!

Chu Liang had seen the Soul Arrest Order used by the Soul Arrestor before, and these thorns were clearly an advanced version of it, impossible to block!

At this moment, thanks to Pǔ Shàn’s intervention, he pointed from a distance, “Reverse!”

Reverse Heavenly Strength!

Boom.

The immortal technique reappeared, the two extremes reversed, and the Earth Fiend was the one who couldn’t move.

The thorns around Luo Yao disappeared instantly, and in the next second, she teleported to the stiff Earth Fiend, raising her curved blade high!

“Die!” The Earth Fiend suddenly screamed in advance, and a blood arrow shot out from his chest! Luo Yao couldn’t avoid it due to the close distance, and the arrow hit the barrier of the white-clothed ghost.

Hiss——

“Ah——” The white-clothed ghost let out a painful cry like a wail. The blood arrow was extremely powerful, and in an instant, it pierced half of her body. She seemed to be resisting desperately to protect Luo Yao.

Luo Yao, at the moment the blood arrow was about to hit her, immediately rolled to the ground to avoid the attack. She used the white-clothed ghost as a shield.

Seeing this, the red-clothed child following behind didn’t immediately pursue the Earth Fiend, but shouted, “Mother!”, and rushed up to shatter the blood arrow that had pierced the white-clothed ghost.

But as the blood arrow was shot out, the stiffness of the Earth Fiend was lifted. He seemed to finally realize the strength of the three people in front of him.

No, “Fifty-eight” was just a third realm ant… To be precise, it was “Fifty-nine” and “Sixty”, although both were in the fourth realm, they were both geniuses of their realm, their methods and cultivation were not to be underestimated. If he continued to entangle with them, he would definitely die on the spot!

As soon as this thought arose, his body flew back several meters, and a blood mist exploded around him, releasing a powerful force. It seemed to be some kind of sacrificial technique that sacrificed himself for an explosion. He was about to escape into the mist.

Luo Yao and Pǔ Shàn were in the refractory period of their divine powers, and couldn’t launch an attack for a while. They were in a vulnerable state! Even if they were geniuses, it was too difficult to kill a fifth realm with many methods!

“Sigh.”

At this moment, Chu Liang sighed slightly.

He still had to make a move himself.

As soon as he took out the long-suppressed Red Name Sword, it almost burst out with a roar, showing how frustrated it was. Chu Liang didn’t hesitate, and released three wind runes with a wave of his hand.

He was seeking speed!

Hiss hiss hiss——

With a flash of the sword light, the Sword Art of Runes with three wind runes was so fast that it seemed to ride the east wind, and the howling dragon swept away in an instant, swallowing the body of the Earth Fiend.

Mighty!

Boom——

Explosive kill!

This sword even swept away the surrounding undispellable mist, forming a temporary vacuum. The power was so great that Luo Yao and Pǔ Shàn’s pupils dilated in surprise.

Sword Qi Tornado!

Boom boom boom——

After swallowing the Earth Fiend, it continued for a long time before gradually dissipating, allowing the mist to overflow again.

In the time before the mist filled up again, Chu Liang recalled the Red Name Sword and put it away.

When he turned back to look at Luo Yao and Pǔ Shàn, as expected, both of them were staring at him with shocked expressions, their faces full of disbelief.

If Chu Liang had given them the impression of a master before, they wouldn’t have been so surprised. But Chu Liang had previously acted like a slacker, and now he suddenly stepped in to kill a strong enemy in one hit.

The contrast was too great.In response to their astonishment, Chu Liang just gave a slight smile, his face calm and composed, pointing in the direction where the Earth Fiend had been obliterated.

“The fifth realm is quite tough to deal with, huh.”
