284 years
After ten years, goodbye Huang Zhen, Shen Muzhi and Lin Yixian were a little caught off guard.
Although Shen Muzhi recognized it immediately when he saw that face, he actually couldn't believe it in his heart at that moment. However, what made Shen Muzhi even more unexpected was that he was wearing a mask on his face, and this Huang Zhen actually recognized him as soon as he fought him!
Ten years ago, between him and Huang Zhen, except for the last incident that happened on East Island, he and Huang Zhen didn't even say a few words, let alone have any contact. But just now, Lin Changying, who used to live in Xiaomei Garden with him, didn't recognize him, but Huang Zhen, who had nothing to do with him, recognized him at a glance.
Although Shen Muzhi guessed that it might be the jade pendant that Brother He Xian gave him when she made a move, so that she could guess his identity, he still felt a little incredible. After all, ten years have passed.
It seems that the incident in Dongdao ten years ago made this Huang Zhenhuang girl very impressed with him!
While thinking about this, Shen Muyi looked at the stone sword array in front of him. At this time, the large array had begun to slowly fall silent, and the fierce aura surging inside was gradually retreating into the stone sword.
"Those few dragon blood grasses are on those Zhengyang Sect disciples. Lin Yixian on the side suddenly spoke.
Shen Muzhi didn't make a sound, just narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Although this sword formation began to fall silent, Huang Zhen had just retreated into the formation, and looking at his previous means of introducing those Zhengyang Sect disciples into the formation, it was difficult to conclude that the current scene was not an illusion, and the purpose was to lure them into the formation.
The most important thing is that this Huang Zhen is full of weirdness, she was able to escape from Elder Yuhefeng ten years ago, and later escaped the pursuit of several people, including Zhao Zhengguang. But just now when they fought against this Huang Zhen, the strength they showed was at most around the Yunhai Realm, and it might even be just the Pyloric Realm. But ten years later, this strength is this, ten years ago, how did she escape from under the noses of so many masters?
It is difficult for Shen Muzhi not to suspect that this is not Huang Zhen's deliberate weakness.
If so, once they enter, with a Huang Zhen and a powerful stone sword array, it would be difficult for the two of them to even guarantee their own safety.
Although those three dragon's blood plants were important to him, they didn't have to be. Without those three dragon's blood plants, he was just suffering a little more. And in the past ten years, he has already suffered so much, so what's the harm in eating more?
What's more, compared to the safety of the lives of the two of them, especially the safety of the guy next to him who couldn't get rid of him, what are those hardships?
"Forget it. After a while, after Shen Muzhi said lightly, he turned his head and planned to leave.
Lin Yixian next to him saw it, but he immediately frowned, groaned slightly, and said to Shen Muzhi's back: "You go to wait for me outside the stone forest, and I'll go in to explore." ”
After that, without waiting for Shen Muzhi's response, his feet moved, and he flashed into the formation.
Shen Mu's heart was shocked, and it was too late to stop him, so he had to follow in.
Although his strength is still not as good as this guy, he is no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, and it is no problem to protect himself. And he also has a protective jade pendant on his body, which can at least save the lives of both of them at a critical moment.
As soon as he entered the formation, Shen Muzhi felt the fierce sword qi in the air around him. These sword qi seemed to sense their arrival, and immediately became active.
However, there were no other visions.
Shen Mu's heart was slightly fixed, but he still didn't dare to be completely relieved.
Perhaps, this Huang Zhen is just waiting for them to go deeper!
This stone sword array is composed of stone swords in circles and circles, and the further you go, the more difficult it will be to escape once the large array is fully operational.
After Lin Yixian entered the formation, he didn't go deep immediately, probably because he expected that Shen Muzhi would not listen to his wait outside, so he simply stopped and waited for him.
When he followed, the two looked at each other, Lin Yixian smiled helplessly, and said, "You have to have a little confidence in me." ”
Shen Muzhi replied coldly: "I just don't think there's any need to take this risk. As you said, it is not easy for me to survive, so I have to cherish it. ”
"Don't worry, I was able to bring you out of the Great Sword Gate in the first place, and I will definitely be able to take you out of here intact this time. Lin Yixian said with a smile with a little coaxing tone.
Shen Muzhi didn't answer again, but the solemnity in his heart did not decrease much because of Lin Yixian's assurance.
In fact, they both knew that if this was really a trap, it would be difficult for the two of them to get out of it all.
The two of them began to walk silently into the depths of the large array.
Circle after circle of stone swords, staggered arrangement. The sharp sword qi continued to hover between these stone swords, occasionally passing by Shen Muzhi and the others, bringing a breeze with a faint sense of gloom.
The starry night sky was covered with a black cloth at some point, covering all the bright stars, leaving only endless darkness, which was so deep that it was terrifying.
Not long after, Shen Muzhi and the others had already walked within the fourth circle of stone swords. As soon as he entered here, Shen Muzhi clearly felt that the sword qi here was thicker. And the fifth circle of stone swords not far ahead, it seems that it is much smaller than the previous four circles.
He frowned and looked up deeper, the stone swords in front of him were stacked on top of each other, and how many circles were still unknown.
They had just come all the way over, and they had not found any trace of those people from the Zhengyang faction, and it seemed that they had probably been taken to the center of the formation by Huang Zhen.
According to this rule that the further in, the heavier the sword qi, it is difficult to judge what the center of that array looks like. Coupled with a Huang Zhen, their grasp is really very small.
Shen Mu's heart was bottomless, and he couldn't help but slow down.
After Lin Yixian noticed it, he didn't say anything more. The situation in this formation obviously made his mood lose his optimism before.
After a while, the two of them passed through the two rings again, and the sword qi wandering around them was more than twice as heavy as the outermost one. Looking ahead, the stone swords are stacked on top of each other, with no end in sight.
Shen Muzhi's brows furrowed, the feeling that something was wrong in his heart became stronger and stronger, the eighth circle in front of him was already in front of him, he suddenly stopped, grabbed Lin Yixian beside him, and said, "There is a problem!" After speaking, he turned back to see the road they came, those stone swords were stacked on top of each other, tall and short, and there was no end in sight.
This glance made him even more sure that this array was probably not just as simple as a sword array, and perhaps it also had the effect of a maze.
"What's wrong?" Next to him, Lin Yixian asked with a frown, as if he didn't notice that something was wrong with this sword formation.
After Shen Muzhi glanced at him in surprise, his heart suddenly understood, and then he said, "Don't you think these stone swords are much smaller?"
Hearing this, Lin Yixian glanced at the stone swords around him and nodded: "It's a little smaller." ”
The words fell, and suddenly there was movement from the depths of the sword array in front of him.
"Let's go. Lin Yixian shouted, took Shen Muzhi, and rushed forward without hesitation.
Seeing that the two of them were about to rush into the eighth circle, Lin Yixian suddenly shook his hand, and a touch of dark green swept out of his sleeve, and stabbed straight to the ground under a stone sword not far from him.
There was a loud bang.
The ground trembled under his feet, and the stone sword suddenly turned into a phantom and dispersed, and the surrounding scene changed instantly, with some stone swords quickly retreating, and another stone sword suddenly approaching. The sword qi in the air was chaotic, roaring towards Shen Muzhi and the others.
Seeing this, Shen Muzhi grabbed Lin Yixian. The white light on his body spread, enveloping the two of them. The sound of thumping sounded immediately afterward, and beyond the white light, it was like fireworks blooming, but unfortunately it was not gorgeous. The dazzling sword light made people a little unable to open their eyes.
In a moment, the fireworks finally subsided.
Before the two of them could see the surrounding situation clearly, Shen Muzhi heard a familiar voice.
"Good eyesight. However, since we have come in, we don't have to go out! It just so happens that our accounts should be settled! It's been ten years...... "It's Huang Zhen."
Shen Muyi raised his eyes and saw Huang Zhen wearing a cloak standing on a stone sword not far away. Below her, the demon beast whose tail was cut off by Lin Yixian's sword was also there. However, at this time, its tail, which was gently flicking behind it, did not seem to be broken.
When Shen Muzhi saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and turned his head to look at Lin Yixian in confusion. He was also staring at the demon beast at this time, and there was confusion in his eyes.
"Later, I'll stop Huang Zhen, you go find someone. Once you've found them, take them away, leave me alone, I'll be fine. Lin Yixian's voice suddenly sounded in Shen Muzhi's mind.
Shen Muzhi frowned and wanted to object, but Lin Yixian had already moved.
The lake-green sword light bloomed instantly, and in an instant, it made people feel like falling into the ocean.
"Kill!" Huang Zhen's cold voice seemed to come from the underworld of the Nine Shadows, which was terrifying.
Suddenly, the surrounding stone swords trembled, and the sword qi that was free in the air condensed in front of Huang Zhen's body, and in the blink of an eye, it converged into a long sword that bloomed with white light, slashing forward.
The ocean instantly became two halves.
The white lightsaber was like a bolt of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Lin Yixian's face, and the tip of the sword pierced into the center of his eyebrows without any obstruction.
On the stone sword, Huang Zhen looked at this scene, but his expression changed, and then, the figure flickered, and suddenly turned into a cloud of black mist and scattered wildly around.
At this moment, a faint green suddenly appeared, sweeping through the black mist.
Faintly, there seemed to be a roar.
And the Lin Yixian who was standing in place was also at this time, poof, under the white lightsaber, it instantly turned into a bubble, and a golden talisman appeared out of thin air, snorted, and the flames ignited. Before it landed, it was already in ashes.
At this time, the real Lin Yixian appeared on the stone sword that Huang Zhen was standing on before, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a touch of faint green swept back, fell into his hand, and turned into a seemingly ordinary long sword.
And after Huang Zhen's black mist hovered in the air for a while, it flew towards the center of the formation violently.
When Lin Yixian saw it, his brows furrowed, and his figure suddenly shot out like lightning, chasing Huang Zhen directly. But at this moment, the surrounding stone swords trembled, and three more white light swords condensed, stabbing at Lin Yixian one after another.
At the same time, the demon beast that had not moved before suddenly roared, and its long tail was like a whip, rolling towards Lin Yixian's body.
These three lightsabers plus a demon beast did not pose any threat to Lin Yixian, but if he wanted to get rid of it, he would inevitably delay time.
Shen Muzhi had already gone to the center of the formation, and Huang Zhen chased after him. Although he knew that with Shen Muzhi's current strength, coupled with the talisman jade pendant on his body, even if he couldn't beat Huang Zhen, it should be no problem to protect himself, but he still couldn't help but feel anxious.
