Chapter 5: The Enemies of the Past

Familiar scenes, familiar enemies.

As soon as Lu Li recalled, he remembered the big man with a knife in front of him, who was his surname.

"Death with a sword?" Lu Li softly read out the other party's name, and naturally recalled that day in his heart.

I vaguely remember that it was a hot afternoon, and Lu Li, who was only eight years old, encountered the first fierce battle in his life in this downtown area, and his opponent was the "horizontal knife killing" Zhang Tianbao in front of him......

Zhang Tianbao's face trembled, revealing a cruel and vicious smile, and he slammed his broad-backed broadsword to the ground, making a dull loud noise.

Pedestrians dodged and gave way to a large open space.

Zhang Tianbao sneered: "Little, Lao Tzu was just molesting a pretty widow who had nothing to do with you, and you killed me ruthlessly!

"When you stabbed me in the chest with a sword, I hurt so much, I hated it so much! I was thinking about revenge for you every day in hell!"

"Now, go die!"

Zhang Tianbao held the broad-backed broadsword with both hands, looked like crazy, and strode towards Lu Li.

Lu Li took a step forward, and after staggering with Zhang Tianbao, he already had a blood-drenched fat head in his hand.

"Horizontal Knife Kills" Zhang Tianbao's headless body fell, and at the same time, an indifferent but grand voice resounded throughout the world: "Complete the first layer of trial." ”

With the sound of this grand voice, the scene in front of Lu Li suddenly changed again.

After a faint glow cleared, Lu Li was already in a large, airtight room, with an old brown wooden floor and gray-white masonry walls with no windows or doors.

The most striking thing in the room is the rows of criss-crossed, densely packed huge bookshelves, and the countless books of exercises on the shelves.

The bookshelf is extremely tall, as if it is used by giants, Lu Li Yufeng flies up, and everywhere in sight, small nymphs and insects, such as life, small golden characters will drill out of the secret book of the exercises, roughly introducing the characteristics and characteristics of each exercise.

Lu Li's eyes swept over and found that most of these cheats were swordsmanship, as well as some internal skills and the rest of the martial arts.

Whether these exercises were swordsmanship or others, they were not powerful just by looking at the description, and he walked against the wind, quickly browsing the rows of bookshelves.

Suddenly, Lu Li's eyes stayed on a cheatbook, and the small golden characters immediately appeared, dutifully introducing this cheat book to the visitor:

""Eight Extremes of Fist Strength", the moves are fierce, simple and fast. It has the characteristics of suffering, helping, squeezing, leaning, collapsing and shaking. The strength of this fist is born from the feet, walks on the waist, and runs through the fingers, so the explosive force is great, and when it hurts the enemy, it also hurts itself......"

Before ascending, Lu Li had known a dart master who was still good at kung fu, and it was this method of boxing that he used.

"To be included in the Heavenly Sword Tower, although it is only on the first layer, it must have a desirable way. ”

Lu Li thought about it, and reached out to touch the book "Eight Extremes of Fist Strength".

At this moment, the small golden characters suddenly changed, and the arrangement was formed into a new sentence:

"Take the cheats, you will leave the Tongtian Sword Tower immediately, please make sure whether to choose "Eight Extremes of Fist Strength". ”

Lu Li immediately withdrew his hand, he really didn't have much interest in the cheats stored on this level.

Lu Li quickly resisted the wind for a week, but did not find a similar exit, so he shouted tentatively at the huge but unmanned room: "Send me to the next floor." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the color of the things in front of him suddenly changed, becoming blurred and distorted, and the surrounding scene was changing rapidly.

A feeling of whirling heaven and earth suddenly hit, Lu Li frowned slightly, resisting the feeling of dizziness, but his eyes were not closed for a moment, wanting to see the law clearly in the changes of the world.

When the color returned to normal and the surrounding scenery no longer changed, Lu Li found that he was already in a dense bamboo forest.

With a sharp gaze, Lu Li had already found several killers hiding their figures, some of them were wearing green clothes, clinging to the bamboo, their bodies were as light as paper, and they followed the green bamboo and swayed gently.

Some of them lie on their stomachs in the pile of fallen leaves, breathing extremely slowly and slightly, and even the sound of their heartbeat is controlled in a very weak range.

Lu Li felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember when he encountered this attack.

There were so many battles he had participated in in his life that some of them had long been lost to memory.

Lu Li pretended to be unaware, and slowly walked into the ambush, he stopped, and the position he was standing in at this time was the best attack and killing distance for every ambusher!

The wind rose, bringing up fallen leaves all over the ground, and the green bamboo also swayed with the wind, Lu Li squinted his eyes, as if he was blinded by the wind and sand.

Suddenly, from the heavens, from the earth, and from all directions, a total of ten attackers struck out in unison.

Bamboo spears, sharp knives, sharp arrows, iron hooks......

All kinds of killing weapons came one after another, and Lu Li, who was the target, had not yet opened his eyes at this time.

Suddenly, a majestic internal force emerged with Lu Li as the center.

The verdant bamboo leaves fluttering in the wind suddenly changed their original trajectory at this time, turning into a series of deadly "flying swords", which flew out quickly.

Whoa, whoa—

The ten attackers didn't have time to react at all, and they all maintained their previous attack posture, but a blood-stained verdant bamboo leaf was stuck in their throats.

Nine were killed and one was seriously wounded.

Lu Li mentioned the seriously injured comatose person, and the wind came to a high place, Lu Li looked into the distance, only to see that the distance was shrouded in a gray mist, and there seemed to be no physical object except for the bamboo forest under his feet.

The grandiose and indifferent voice had not sounded for a long time, and Lu Li nodded, confirming his guess:

"It doesn't seem like just submitting the enemy is a pass......"

Lu Li let go of his hand and let the unconscious man fall freely, and after a dull crash, the grand, indifferent voice finally sounded: "Complete the second layer of trial." ”

The familiar world swirled, the familiar scene changed, and when the colors around him returned to normal, Lu Li appeared again in the closed room without doors and windows.

The giant-like bookshelves are crisscrossed, but the exercises and cheats stored on them are completely new.

Lu Li walked against the wind, his eyes quickly swept over the huge bookshelf, and after a while, he found a familiar exercise, and as his gaze stopped, the golden characters of the little nymph immediately came out of the secret book, and were combined into a line of text:

""Wind and Fast Sword", this swordsmanship is exquisite, powerful, containing a total of one hundred and eight styles, the sword momentum contains a fierce wind, so that a sword is as fast as a sword, and the wind stirred up is getting stronger and stronger, like a storm and waves, the strength emitted by the sword edge is extremely cold and can force others back......"

"I didn't expect to see ...... here" The corners of Lu Li's mouth were outlined, revealing a faint smile, "Wind and Sword" was a swordsmanship that he accidentally obtained in his early years.

Although it is rarely used now, in this sword technique, the core sword intent of a sword is faster than a sword, and Lu Li has always admired it, and Lu Li has even mixed a little bit of the essence of "Wind Sword" into the "Crazy Demon Slaying Immortal Slash" created by himself.

Without staying too long on the second floor, Lu Li said to the empty room, "Send me to the next floor." ”

......

Shangguan Tingxue, who was also in the Tongtian Sword Tower, had come to the thirtieth layer at this time, except for the first layer, in order to determine the level of exercises, and stopped for a while, the rest of the time was a move to defeat the enemy, without the slightest stop, let alone wasting time on those low-level exercises, and only went straight to a higher place.

30th Floor......

35th Floor......

Forty floors......

Forty-five floors......

These enemies who had appeared in Shangguan Tingxue's life, and who had been difficult or easy, without exception, were either cut off by the snow-white sword qi, or stabbed in the chest by the sword qi, and they were all killed by Shangguan Tingxue in one move.

"Next level. Shangguan Tingxue's cold voice echoed in the huge closed room with no people.

The sky was spinning for a while, and the scene in front of him was changing rapidly, and Shangguan Tingxue only felt that his eyes lit up, and a cold air rushed to his face.

She was in the middle of a snowy field, with snow falling from the sky and the ground covered with fluffy snow.

Shangguan Tingxue was only wrapped in a gray and white robe, but she was not affected by the cold at all, and her tender white bare feet walked on the snow, stepping on the snow without a trace.

In front of her, a majestic figure turned his back to Shangguan Tingxue, standing as tall as a pine, standing with his hands in his hands, and a bronze long sword was stuck vertically beside him.

"Master. Shangguan listened to Xue Bi respectfully shouting.

The majestic figure turned around, it was a majestic old man with white beard, seeing the comer, the old man's majestic expression that seemed to be like ten thousand years of ice melted, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he looked at Shangguan Tingxue in front of him with a smile, and said gently:

"Listen to the snow, you're here. ”

Shangguan Tingxue walked up to the old man, carefully studied every detail of the old man in front of her, and said, "Master, after ten years, Tingxue misses you very much." ”

The old man pulled out the bronze sword beside him and said with a smile: "The master misses you too, listen to the snow, let's go with the master......"

The old man could no longer speak, and a snow-white sword qi suddenly crossed his neck, and as soon as the cold wind blew, the old head rolled to the ground.

"Complete the 50th Layer of Trials. ”

Returning to the closed room with no windows and no doors, the little memories in his heart dissipated with the wind and snow, Shangguan listened to the snow sigh, but still did not choose to stay, and said indifferently: "The next floor." ”

......

Lu Li kept in mind the reminder of his friend Ye Shengqing, and did not blindly seek speed, after defeating each layer of gatekeepers, he would go through the exercise cheats hidden in that layer, on the one hand, he could enrich his knowledge, and on the other hand, he could slowly recover the internal force consumed before.

Lu Li tried to meditate and pranayama, but found that there was a rather miraculous power here, and he could not speed up the recovery of internal force through meditation, but could only let it recover slowly on its own.

"Sure enough, the gatekeepers of the first hundred layers will not be too strong, and the main purpose should be to consume the strength of the passers. ”

"If it weren't for Brother Ye's reminder, I might have tried to meditate and pranayama when I blindly climbed to the top when my internal strength was consumed more than half, and then it would be too late to find out the abnormality here. ”
