Volume 1 The Boy in a Small Town Chapter 18 The Test (8)
In a void space, Xuan Chen was alone on the nine-story bone ladder at this time, wanting to ascend to the sky.
The raised foot stepped down heavily.
Rumble!
The crimson liquid was like a waterfall, instantly submerging the first staircase, including the dust inside.
This is a tyrannical aura similar to the second level test.
However, the previous form was nothing more than a thin blood mist, but now, it is a whole waterfall.
Bloodthirsty, tyrannical, and endlessly hateful...... The most primordial darkness struck, eroding not only the soul but also the body. These liquids frantically burrowed into Ling Chen's body, transforming him and destroying him. Every inch of Ling Chen's skin was filled with a huge amount of destructive power. He's about to become a killing machine. Now he is just moving forward with instinct.
Each staircase is about two meters wide and is made up of a stone-like object, white as jade, as mysterious as an unknown artifact.
Ling Chen walked forward with difficulty, this distance that was usually only three or four steps, but now every step is so difficult to act. And he needed to endure the power of the rage, which he could not suppress.
It's too strong, it's a height he can't reach at all now, and he can only be at the mercy of others like a puppet.
All he could do now was to complete these three or four steps as quickly as possible to reach the second step.
His heart has long been crazy, killing and killing is only killing...... And these red liquids are quite viscous, and it is often difficult to lift the second step after stepping on one step.
His mind was already blank. Forward, only forward. This is the only thought, the only instinct in his mind at this time. It had already traveled for more than half a hour, but in the early hours of the morning, it had only covered less than half the distance. He can't control his body, everything just comes from the obsession deep in his heart.
At this time, he is already quite dangerous, and if he hesitates a little, he will stay here forever. And the crimson liquid was still burrowing into his body. Maybe it won't be long before his body will be overwhelmed by this crimson energy. And so, he was finished.
The sticky liquid seemed to pull Ling Chen's body down, and his body had no extra ability to resist. But after a slight movement, I was trapped again.
Although driven by instinct, Ling Chen still maintained a forward posture. But the reality was that he didn't move at all.
It seemed that Ling Chen was also aware of this problem, and he was struggling, struggling indiscriminately. As a result, his body lost its center of gravity and fell heavily on the steps, splashing drops of crimson liquid.
Ling Chen couldn't calm down anymore, even instinct told him that his body couldn't last long.
So he went crazy, flailing his limbs frantically to move forward, and he was aiming for the second staircase. But the distance of one step is like the separation of heaven and earth. He insisted, smearing the ground and crawling slowly.
His body had begun to crack, and small cracks had opened in many parts of his body, from which streams of red fluid flowed out. Moreover, those liquids were still pouring towards Ling Chen's body.
His life was coming to an end, and the fire of his soul was about to be extinguished. But instinct was still driving him on.
His flesh had begun to crack to varying degrees, and the cracks had gradually spread throughout his body, up to his skull.
Finally, it's a little bit close!
I saw that my fingers were about to touch the steps of the second floor.
Rumble!
Its body shattered, and the wreckage splattered in all directions. The spurt was no longer able to tell whether it was a red liquid or blood.
Is the test of the first step alone a failure? Perhaps Ling Chen's destination is one of the thousands of dry bones.
Years, decades, centuries... At that time, no one remembered him, and no one remembered him. In this cruel world, there is no need for losers.
But did he really fail?
On the second step of the stairs, a finger stained with blood was left. Against the white staircase, it looks out of place. Apparently, he was the second step he touched before his body exploded.
On the first level of steps, the crimson waterfall, minced meat, etc., everything has disappeared, and the original white steps that are as warm as jade have been restored again. It's as if everything before has never happened, giving people a sense of unreality.
In the blink of an eye, a figure had appeared on the steps of the second floor. Ling Chen stared at his hands, his eyes full of surprise.
"...... this?"
Because just now, he obviously knew that he had already walked around the ghost gate, and his original body had already been blown up. But now that he had a physical body again, it was clear that he was a little incomprehensible. And Lingzhi didn't explain at this time, and Ling Chen could only suppress the doubts in his heart and move on.
On the second level of steps, Ling Chen only felt that his body was heavier and sluggish than usual. But it didn't cause any obstacles, but it took three or four breaths to reach the bottom of the third staircase.
Ling Chen frowned, and the doubts in his heart became even greater. Judging by the difficulty of the first step, the subsequent tests should be even more difficult. However, this result is quite puzzling, where is the problem? As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Ling Chen was already a little uneasy in his heart at this time, and secretly raised his vigilance.
Footsteps slowly ascended the third staircase.
Suddenly, a strong pain hit the brain, and the primordial spirit in the brain was almost about to crack.
This is an extremely strong tearing force, not for the flesh, but only for the primordial spirit, which is a test of the strength of the soul. As we all know, the original god is the foundation of man and the mark of man. The body is destroyed, and the body can be reshaped. But if the primordial god is destroyed, this person will disappear from the world forever.
At this moment, Ling Chen covered his head with his hands and thumped heavily. He wanted to rush forward at all costs, because it was only three or four paces away. But every time I want to make up my mind to rush forward, the pain that tears the spirit in my brain strikes again. Straight to the soul, it's a pain that can't be ignored.
"Ahh
Ling Chen roared frantically, and many fine cracks had appeared in his primordial spirit.
One step, two steps...... It's getting closer, it's getting closer.
One last step!
His primordial spirit had begun to dissipate, falling off like shards. The fire of life has gradually been extinguished, and the light is getting darker and darker.
Bang...... His body fell straight on the fourth step of the stairs.
And in the same way, this time Ling Chen's body also returned to its original state, without any damage. Ling Chen stood up and looked at a figure that appeared on the opposite side suspiciously, like a water shadow without facial features.
This was manifested when Ling Chen reached the fourth staircase at the same time. I don't know why, but he must be the test of this fourth layer.
"Defeat me to get through. A dull, hoarse voice rang out. At the same time, the steps leading to the fifth floor are obscured by a light curtain.
At this time, the steps of the fourth floor gradually expanded, and stone slabs emerged and spliced together, instantly turning this place into a ring of more than 100 meters.
Ling Chen's eyes flashed, and his figure burst out. He didn't have time to test his opponent, so he chose to strike first, and the first shot was a killer move.
And the water shadow also moved with Ling Chen's movements at the same time. His right fist slammed towards the water shadow, and the water shadow blocked with one hand, and at the same time, the water shadow punched and slammed into Ling Chen's head.
Before the fist shadow could reach, Ling Chen leaned back suddenly, supported the ground with one hand, and slashed towards the neck of the water shadow with a sharp wind with one leg.
The movement of the water shadow was not slow, and the moment he lowered his head, the leg wind swept across, causing Ling Chen's feet to suddenly leave the ground, making him lose his balance. Ling Chen, who was already suspended in the air, kicked forward with his legs in an instant, wanting to retreat with his strength when he kicked the water shadow.
Mizukage crossed his arms and blocked Ling Chen's kick. As a result, the two figures staggered and confronted each other again.
Ling Chen frowned, this person seemed to know what he was thinking, and every time he made a move, he was prepared accordingly. It seems that he has seen through his own attack routine, so he can wait for the rabbit.
Melee combat is fruitless, and there is a faint feeling of being suppressed. Therefore, Ling Chen instantly changed the battle plan and distanced himself from the water shadow for a long enough time.
With one hand and pointing to the center of the eyebrows, a light blue circular pattern suddenly appeared on the fingertips. However, the center of the pattern is blank, and its perimeter is covered with earthworm-like symbols.
At this point, the pattern is out of his hands and flies towards his eyes.
Maybe he was a little uncomfortable, Ling Chen's eyes were slightly closed. When he opened it again, the circular pattern of the two seats had already appeared in Ling Chen's eyes.
The pitch-black pupils fill in the blanks of the pattern, and the light blue eyes reflect a little psychedelia, adding a faint soft aura to this ordinary teenager.
His eyes stared straight at the figure opposite, and his hands were sealed in the early morning, and the instant sucking was completed.
"Big slash!" Ling Chen shouted.
The next moment, a phantom broadsword condensed in the void and slashed at the water shadow.
Mizukage's hands on the opposite side also instantly sealed, and he drank in a low voice: "Big Knife Slash!"
Rumble!
The two big knives collided with each other, and suddenly the air waves swept into the sky.
After the collision, the two forces cancel each other out, and they slowly disappear into invisibility.
The aftermath did not dissipate, and Ling Chen's hands were sealed again.
However, at this time, the printing method was not as skillful as it was just now. With both hands paused, the pattern in Ling Chen's eyes shone brightly, and he roared: "Shadow Thorn!"
The water shadow on the other side paused slightly, followed by a pinprick-like pain. Of course, it wasn't the water shadow that hurt, but Ling Chen.
"It's ...... What's going on?" Ling Chen's eyes stared at the water shadow, and he said coldly, "Who are you?"
"I am you. There was a pause, and Mizukage said.
His voice was still hoarse and low, unwilling to say a word of uselessness.
Ling Chen wanted to ask more, but when he saw the scene against you, he was stunned.
After a fluctuation on the outer layer of the water shadow, it slid down like flowing water, revealing a thin figure.
It's exactly the same, it's exactly the same as Ling Chen, as if a mirror is standing on the opposite side.
Although it was weird, Ling Chen did not lose his temper. Quickly adjust your mentality, and quickly think of a plan to fight the enemy. Taking a deep breath, the pattern in his eyes faded away. Instead, a larger pattern appeared again under his feet, slowly revolving around Ling Chen.
At a glance, an identical circular pattern also appeared at the foot of "Ling Chen" on the opposite side at this time, and the two were far away.
"No matter how similar it is, a fake is a fake after all. With that, Ling Chen suddenly accelerated and rushed towards "Ling Chen".
The battle is again inspired.
