Chapter XXIV: Confrontation
Ye Chu sat cross-legged on the ground, rubbing the hilt of the sword in his hand, and smiled bitterly. I don't know what mechanism Zhanbo touched, although the door of the main hall is right in front of me, it is blocked by an invisible energy barrier, and I can't get out at all.
At this moment, with a loud "boom", the main hall began to shake, and the wall facing Ye Chu suddenly slowly rose upward, and a dark hole appeared in front of her.
Ye Chu stared at the entrance of the cave, and after a long while, there was no change in the surroundings, she got up slowly, took a deep breath, and walked slowly into the hole.
The stone chamber behind the wall is not too small or small, roughly estimated to be the size of a basketball court. At the center of the chamber is a stone platform made of black stones, which appears to be an altar. Seven faint small oil lamps on the stone platform emitted a miserable green light, the strange lights were windless and automatic, the green and faint light and shadow swayed, and the atmosphere in the whole stone room was very oppressive and ominous.
On the altar, the demonic qi was extraordinarily rich, almost substantial, forming a black cover, which seemed to protect something.
Ye Chu slowly leaned her divine consciousness over, and an invisible and tyrannical force entangled her, and her divine consciousness immediately became sluggish. Ye Chu's mind moved slightly, and he immediately cut off this divine sense. She thought to herself, "This place is definitely related to the Demon Race!" β
In front of the altar stood a man in black, his handsome face looked a little weird and hideous against the green light of the forest. This man in black is Zhan Bo who acted separately from Ye Chu in the main hall!
Ye Chu couldn't help but smile bitterly, Zhan Bo, who had never seen him before, had an expression that made people want to stomp on him a few times, things seemed to be really developing in a direction she didn't want to see. I wonder if she's a crow's mouth?
The completely unfamiliar Zhanbo turned sideways to her and stood in front of the altar, seemingly dazed. Ye Chu's feet paused, forcibly suppressed the urge to retreat, opened his mouth, and squeezed out a faint hoarse voice from his throat, "Zhanbo, captain." β
Zhan Bo turned his head slowly, his face a little blurry against the shaky green light. A pair of shiny and talking eyes are mixed with all kinds of emotions, and they look a little dazed.
Staring at Ye Chu blankly, Zhan Bo suddenly blinked, walked off the altar, got out of the green light on the altar, and the whole person began to become clear. He was holding his hands, his long body was jade, and his face was expressionless, as if he had just discovered that there was more Ye Chu in the stone room, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he said indifferently: "You, how did you get here?" β
Ye Chu didn't answer lightly and asked: "You can come to this place, but I can't come?" β
Zhan Bo let out a long sigh and said leisurely: "You really can't come." You should know that the secret can be kept secret because many people who shouldn't know about it are dead! Xiao Chu, you shouldn't come. β
Ye Chu asked lightly: "If I don't come here, if you don't find this secret, you can let me go?" Will you not kill me? β
Ye Chu knew in his heart that after the two met in the ruins, although Zhanbo would not kill her, he would definitely not let her go lightly. Otherwise, Zhanbo would not have frequently exposed his feet in front of Ye Chu, it was not that he couldn't act more carefully, but he didn't bother to hide his difference at all.
Zhan Bo said in a deep voice: "Before you entered here, I really didn't think about killing you. You are a talent, Xiao Chu. I will let you know that there is another wonderful and free life, and the world is big, and you will not be trapped in this small land. There, the Celestial Warrior is nothing at all, and your achievements will far exceed what you can imagine. Since you've chosen to avoid it just now," his voice instantly became sharp, and his face was a little painful, "Then why did you still come here!" Why see this qiΔ! β
Ye Chu frowned slightly, "Another life", "Heaven and earth are big", "Trapped in the land of projectiles", "Far beyond the achievements of heavenly martial artists", the amount of information in these words is a bit big!
Ye Chu felt in her heart that she had come into contact with an amazing secret, and the answers to the various puzzles that had plagued her before were slowly approaching, and the answer was in Zhanbo.
Ye Chu said expressionlessly: "Even if there is any difference in this stone room, there are only two of us here and now, so you can't let me go?" β
Zhan Bo shook his head and asked, "Xiao Chu, when did you find out that something was wrong?" Before or after entering the ruins? β
Ye Chu flicked his sleeves indifferently, "Earlier, before I set off, after I broke through." β
Zhanbo was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect it to be so early!" Did I show a flaw there? β
In the cultivation system, whether it is between martial artists or immortal cultivators, the suppression of the strength of the high-level to the low-level is all-round. Not only in combat power, but also in the suppression of perception. Under normal circumstances, the lower order cannot perceive the higher order at all.
Ye Chu is an immortal cultivator, and her divine sense steadily overwhelms the vague perception of a martial artist, and after entering the fifth layer of qi training, her divine sense is even stronger, and the acquired ninefold martial artist has no way to hide in front of her. But when facing Zhanbo, who is known as the ninefold day after tomorrow, her divine sense is suppressed very ruthlessly, and she can only faintly feel that his strength is very strong. She was a little suspicious, Zhanbo was also an immortal cultivator, and his strength was much higher than that of her immortal cultivator.
Ye Chu shook his head, "Your strength is too strong." And for Liu Sandao, you are too impatient. Originally, I thought that you were seducering me in order to examine my conduct. But after I said that I wouldn't make a move on Liu Sandao, you had an undeserved killing intent towards Liu Sandao, although it was collected in a flash. At that time, I suspected that you were actually trying to borrow my knife to kill someone! β
"Xiao Chu, you are really good!" Zhanbo said lightly, "It's only a short moment, you can actually sense it." β
Ye Chu smiled meaningfully and did not answer. If it weren't for the killing sword technique she cultivated was the most sensitive to murderous aura, it would be impossible for her to sense Zhanbo's killing intent under the suppression of her rank.
"Anything else?" Zhanbo suddenly became excited.
"Yes, before entering the ruins, you were too relaxed, and you seemed sure that a few of us would not be able to enter the ruins. So when you saw me, you were amazed and took the opportunity to test me. After that, you unabashedly showed that you were unusually familiar with this place, and I was not blind. β
"Papai ......" Zhanbo clapped his hands and looked at Ye Chu appreciatively, "Unexpected insight, smart and keen, Xiao Chu, you really don't look like a child who is only fifteen years old!" β
Ye Chu sighed slightly, this is really what he said, two lives!
Zhan Bo looked at Ye Chu, "You're so smart," he glanced at the stone room, "You'll figure it out sooner or later, how dare I let you go?" β
Zhan Bo's hands flipped over, and two willow leaf flying knives flew out of his cuffs, and the blade shone with a sharp cold light, directly taking Ye Chu's eyes. As soon as he made a move, he actually wanted to destroy Ye Chu's eyes.
Ye Chu's face was expressionless, he took a step back, rubbed his fingers, and the two wind blades quickly met the flying knife, and the "bell" sounded softly, and the flying knife fell to the ground.
Zhan Bo smiled: "I don't remember that you are still a wind type magic martial artist!" It seems that little tricks are useless. With that, his hand touched his waist, and a moon-shaped scimitar suddenly appeared, turning into a streamer, and the tip of the knife stabbed obliquely towards Ye Chu's throat.
Ye Chu narrowed his eyes, "Storage bag!" "The identity of the Zhanbo Immortal Cultivator is undoubtedly confirmed!
The scimitar came through the wind, Ye Chu did not retreat or dodge, and the hand holding the sword shook slightly, "Ding!" The tip of the sword came like lightning and hit the tip of the sword.
"Good!" Zhanbo failed in one move, but he was not flustered, but shouted good. Drawing the knife and slashing at Ye Chu, the knife was fierce, and the sword shadows in the air crisscrossed and crisscrossed, like a net of heaven and earth, covering Ye Chu tightly, leaving no gap!
"Ding Ding ......"
Ye Chu's footwork is like flowing water, a sword is swimming around his body, like an arm command, chopping, stabbing, picking, splitting, the sword dance is impermeable, breaking the gap in the net of heaven and earth, like a swimming fish swimming calmly.
Although Ye Chu's swordsmanship is exquisite, Zhanbo's swordsmanship is not weak, and the gap in cultivation makes every sword collision slightly traumatize Ye Chu's body.
In just a while, Ye Chu's forehead was dripping with sweat, her wheezing became heavy, and long bloody wounds were drawn on her arms and ribs, and blood soaked half of her body. The meridians of the whole body were even more painful because of the excessive operation of the sword qi.
"Bell!" With a crisp sound, Ye Chu's sword broke, and half of the sword body fell to the ground. Ye Chu lowered his head, covered his chest with one hand, held a half-cut sword in the other, knelt on one knee, panting heavily!
Zhanbo was also not happy, a huge hole was pierced in the chest of his clothes, and blood stains were faintly visible. There was a faint blood mark on his forehead, oozing beads of blood. His breath was steady, but his arms were trembling slightly.
"Xiao Chu, you're making progress too fast!" He sighed leisurely, "You are too young to cultivate enough, I really can't bear to kill you!" β
"Heh... Heh..."Ye Chu gasped and smiled sarcastically, "The captain wants to let me go?" Then I can promise not to say anything. β
Zhan Bo said lightly: "You won't be so naΓ―ve, it's a matter of importance, I can't leave any hidden dangers." β
Ye Chu said coldly: "Do I have to die?!" β
Zhan Bo nodded and said, "Only the dead can keep secrets, and I don't need to teach you this truth." It's a pity," he said, shaking his head and sighing, "sometimes a dead man can't keep a secret, but you'll never see it." β
Ye Chu lowered her head, sweat fell to the ground drop by drop, and she said softly: "In this case, I still have a few questions, can you answer me?" For the sake of your teammates?! β
Zhan Bo looked at her quietly for a while, and said, "Three questions, you ask, but there are some I can't answer." β
Ye Chu nodded and said, "Okay!" Thank you! β
