The Imperial Garden in the north of the Imperial City

On the west side of the garden, there is a three-storey attic, which looks quite ancient, but exudes an air of mystery. The attic is not big, and the style is very ordinary, but the people living here are extremely simple.

The middle-aged man who appeared in front of Long Ling earlier to rescue the old man in Mai was sitting on the first floor of the attic at the moment, sipping tea alone, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, an old man walked down from the second floor, dressed in gray cloth, although he looked a little old, he was full of energy, and his eyes were shining. It was not weaker than the young man's mental state, and there was a young man who came down with him, who looked quite handsome, with a jade tree in the wind, and a white dress like snow.

When the middle-aged man saw the two of them coming down, he quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Uncle Tianhongshi, I'm here uninvited." ”

The old man walked down and smiled, "Yuyu, it's been good lately." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, "It's okay, it's just that I'm too busy to come and see you." ”

"When did Hongge come back? ”

Xuanyuan Hongge smiled and said, "I just came back two days ago, didn't I hear that there was going to be a genius battle, so I came over to join in the fun." ”

"If you participate, you will be the crown of genius. Xuanyuan said politely.

"How come, I heard that Xuanyuan Chenfeng is also back and participated in the genius battle. Xuanyuan Hongge shook his head and said casually.

"What, Chenfeng is also back? and participated in the genius battle, what a nonsense. When Xuanyuan Tianhong heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, "You are all Shenbing guards cultivated in the clan, how can you be so childish." ”

Xuanyuan Yuyu smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's all between juniors, just let them play at will, it's also an experience." ”

"That's right, grandpa, I've been in that extraterritorial battlefield for so long, and now I'm back, it's okay to participate, I promise, I will never take the first place, and after entering the top eight, I will automatically retire. Xuanyuan Hongge said, with a hint of begging.

Xuanyuan Tianhong looked at his grandson, "Let's take a look at the strength of their disciples of our human race, wealthy families, although their strength is not high, they will also have some unique knowledge from various families, you can learn from them and feel different martial arts skills." But remember, don't deliberately be reckless and break the rules of the game. ”

"I understand, don't worry, grandpa. ”

"By the way, what are you doing this time?" asked Xuanyuan Tianhong.

"The Mu family sent a disciple to participate in the competition, but the strength is not high, only the strength of the high-level of the prefecture. Xuanyuan Yuyan said, "I feel that the Mu family must have a back hand and is planning something." ”

"Oh, the Mu family dared to send a disciple over and participate in the genius battle, and they were not afraid that we would directly kill him. Xuanyuan Tianhong was a little surprised when he heard this.

"That disciple was accompanied by a woman from the Canglong clan, and the relationship seemed to be very good. I wanted to do it at the time, but after all, our Terran and Canglong had an agreement first. So, it seems that he is competing alone, but in fact, there are two major forces behind it. Xuanyuan Yuyu said, and he was helpless in his heart.

"Not necessarily, but be careful. Since the strength is not high, then arrange some people to kill him by mistake in the game. Xuanyuan Tianhong didn't care at all, and said casually.

"It's already arranged, I hope I will get rid of that Mu family disciple unconsciously. Xuanyuan Yuyu breathed a long sigh of relief and said. The Mu family and the Xuanyuan family have a deep grudge, and it is a great patience not to kill them at the first time.

"It's just that I'm going to compete, so let me kill him. Xuanyuan Hongge said.

Xuanyuan Tianhong and Xuanyuan Yuyu looked at each other, then at Xuanyuan Hongge, and nodded, "It's okay." Chen Feng couldn't do it, because he had to protect a group of disciples of our Xuanyuan family. You act alone, and this is his portrait. Xuanyuan Yuyu said and handed over a portrait, which was exactly what he looked like.

After the three of them discussed, and after some small talk, Xuanyuan Hongge left here with Xuanyuan Yuyu and rushed to the Dusk Yao Wonderland in the west of the city.

At this time, Mu Han stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the rope bridge in worry, he had tried to cross the rope bridge several times before, but as soon as he touched the planks, he turned into debris and fell into the abyss under the rope bridge. More than a dozen chains swayed back and forth, making it difficult to walk at all. If he wanted to get out of here, it was the only way.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a rope, tied one end of the rope to himself, and the other end around an iron chain, tied a round knot, and hung it on the chain. After doing this, he was more at peace in his heart, and if he fell while walking, he could also use this rope to return to these chains.

Mu Han looked at the dozen or so chains, took a deep breath, grabbed the chains on both sides with both hands, and walked forward little by little.

I don't know how long the rope bridge is, so I walked slowly, stopping and stopping during the process, and I accidentally fell down twice, but fortunately I was tied with this rope to climb back to the chain again. It was dark not far ahead, and it was still dark not far behind. Mu Han seemed to be walking on the verge of death, eternally filled with a dark dead silence, with no direction, no time, and no life.

He walked on the rope bridge so lonely, his heartstrings tense, and his forehead was already sweating.

'Whew--。 Mu Han exhaled a long breath, settled his mind and looked forward, it was still endless darkness, he rested here for a while, recovered his strength and walked forward again. After walking so nervously for nearly half an hour, he saw the end of the chain bridge. When he finally saw hope, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his walking speed was faster. After a short time, he finally came to the opposite bank, Mu Han untied the rope and sat on the ground to rest.

At this time, suddenly a Nightmare Beast's roar came from the left direction, he glanced to the left, thinking in his heart, it seems that there is a Nightmare Beast nearby, it is better to leave here quickly and find the ladder to the sky as soon as possible.

Mu Han stood up and looked around, and there were patches of gray-white rubble piled up on the ground nearby, which must have been left behind by the wind after the collapse of the building. There is no fixed direction to look for, only little by little. Just after walking a short distance, three nightmare beasts suddenly appeared, their strength was not high, but they also had the strength of advanced martial arts. It doesn't take much effort to kill it directly. Nightmareson did not dissipate into a gray mist like Nightmaremon, but was a real living alien beast, its blood was green, and it emitted an extremely fishy smell that was disgusting.

He continued to walk forward, and in less than an hour, he had already encountered more than a dozen waves of Nightmare Beasts, and his strength was getting higher and higher. He looked forward, thinking to himself, and it seemed that he was looking in the right direction. Because the terrain is constantly rising, it is as if walking on sloping ground. It was not long before I came to a huge ruin, which was supposed to be a small city. Between the ruins, countless Nightmare Beasts walked, roaring incessantly. In the middle of the ruins, a huge tower could be faintly seen.

"If the direction is good, that giant tower should be the ladder to heaven mentioned by the black dragon. Mu Han looked at the giant tower and muttered to himself.

But there were so many Nightmare Beasts living in this ruin, it was extremely difficult for him to get close to them, he looked at the size of those Nightmare Beasts, each of them was about ten or twenty zhang high, and vaguely, in the depths of the ruins, there were even taller existences.

With these nightmare beasts on the periphery alone, I'm afraid he can't deal with them, let alone those deep in the ruins. But at the moment, he can't, so he can only move forward and improvise. Mu Han made up his mind to walk towards the ruins, the gravel was in pieces, the road was also potholed, and there were many obstacles to walking, and he couldn't go fast.

As soon as he walked into the ruins, he was discovered by a nightmare beast with a height of more than ten zhang, whose strength was equal to him, and the nightmare beast let out an angry roar, running towards Mu Han, all the way smoke and dust rolling, rubble flying, booming loud noise, and the earth was also shaken slightly when it ran.

Mu Han looked around, fortunately there was only one, his heart was a little settled, and he had to fight quickly now, otherwise it would be a big trouble if he attracted more other Nightmare Beasts. The Nightmare Beast doesn't move fast, and the main skill of the battle is only a dream, so in terms of combat power alone, the Nightmare Beast is only average. However, it has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is not easy to kill.

It came to a distance of about ten zhang from Mu Han, and suddenly let out a special roar, which was to forcibly lure Mu Han into a dream, Mu Han knew that it would be like this, and naturally he was also on guard. Channeling that qi into his ears and sealing off most of his hearing would also reduce the Nightmaremon's special sonic attack by half, and the rest would be insignificant, no longer a threat to him.

Mu Han held the red dust in his hand, a sword light lit up, the sword intent was like a rainbow, and the three-color sword qi was like a flying rainbow in the sky, directly slashing at the head of the nightmare beast.

There was a loud bang, and the sword light directly slashed the nightmare beast's head, and the green blood flew sideways, which was very unpleasant. Mu Han endured the disgusting smell, slashed out a sword again, and a red light of several zhang in size flew towards the nightmare beast's neck, directly cutting most of it, and suddenly the green blood gushed like an infusion, and the fishy and unpleasant smell permeated everywhere. A terrible roar rang out, and with a thud the nightmare beast fell to the ground, struggling a few more times before it was no longer alive.

Mu Han couldn't bear the smell anymore at this moment, and hurriedly fled from here, continuing to rush in the direction of the giant tower. A moment later, several Nightmare Beasts came up to the dead Nightmaremon, and let out a deafening roar one after another, even though it was hundreds of feet away, it still felt close.

The next moment, something that made Mu Han desperate happened, and the entire ruins suddenly emitted a huge roar at the same time, so loud that it was like the sound of thunder, attached to his ears. Fortunately, he didn't emit that special sound wave, otherwise he would have fallen asleep directly, and life and death are really unknown.

At this time, even if the wisps of qi flowed between his ears and tried his best to close his hearing, he could still hear the terrifying sound, which shocked Mu Han to squat on the ground with his ears clenched, his head was dizzy, and his whole head seemed to explode. Just when Mu Han was about to hold on, the extremely terrifying voice stopped.

'Whew--' Mu Han breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the ground, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, he didn't expect that he had just come in, just killed a nightmare beast, and such a terrifying thing happened, and he really didn't know what to do next. I closed my eyes and pondered, thinking about what to do.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, looked around, and saw that there were no nightmare beasts, so he cautiously walked towards the giant tower again.
