The night was already deep and the fog was getting thicker, and the entire Rashomon was immersed in boundless silence.

At this time, a black figure quietly appeared in the back mountain, and this mysterious human rabbit who was as swift as a ghost haunted by a ghost had approached the silent trial pagoda between the valleys in a few vertical leaps.

The man was dressed in black, his whole face was wrapped in a hood, and the two eyes that were only exposed were like the pupils of a night wolf, flickering with a cold glow.

This man in black is none other than Bai Shenyu.

She swam around the guardrail at the base of the tower, and finally stopped at a pillar carved with strange runes, only to see her whisper the mantra of the incantation, and after a pause she pressed her hand on the head of the balustrade, and then several black rays of light shone faintly through the gap between her fingers.

Bai Shenyu withdrew his hand, put his palm in front of his eyes, and could vaguely see a few more lines of strange writing in his originally white palm through the faint night. She snickered in her heart: "I have already succeeded in this spell of protecting the tower, and most of the matter has been successful. ”

Without further ado, she dodged to the side of the tower, put her hand close to the stone wall, and immediately a small door appeared in the shadow of the black tower.

In an instant, the man was inside the tower. The door to the space that had been opened was also quietly gone.

She listened quietly for a while, made sure that she was the same, and began to look for the stone steps to go upstairs.

This Temporal Pagoda is a space conjured up by Rashomon's ability Masters in the void, and it looks like a normal tower on the outside, but it is actually very different from the inside.

The space inside this suddenly became very large, especially on the first floor, which was several miles in circumference, and the surrounding area was blurred, and dozens of spatial gates surrounded the perimeter of the competition hall, and they were hidden in the darkness. If you change to an ordinary person, you have to go to great lengths to find the door with the stone steps.

But it wasn't too difficult for the White Sinking Fish, the Assassin was originally a killer who could exert the power of darkness more in the dark. Soon she found the stone steps that led to the second floor.

She was silent like a ghost, and went straight to the second floor.

It turned out that after these few days of trial, whether it was the winner or the loser or the living or the dead, the first three floors of the competition had ended, so most of them had already left the tower and returned to their respective residences. The few people who stayed behind to continue the challenge were now concentrated on the fourth layer, including her goal for tonight.

Reaching the third level again, she finally stopped, probing the movement around her again.

Bai Shenyu concentrated his energy and used the Necromancy Technique to eliminate all the energy he could emit. This fourth layer is not a general person, and if they enter it by the slightest mistake, they will be sensed by their divine sense. This Necromancy Mind Technique is the method of blocking qi and breaking souls, which can make the caster's body disappear like a dead person.

She felt a slight chill, not knowing if she was suffering from the cold air in the tower or if she was about to face a powerful prey.

Now she's a hunter, but who can guarantee that the next moment she'll not be the prey's prey?

The white sunken fish climbed the stairs, like a civet cat and a ghost, silently.

The fourth floor of the Temporal Pagoda.

The space that was originally like a tomb was a little more alive, and the powerful internal force aura of the warrior floated through the space and intertwined into a net.

In the darkness, the Assassin wandered through the stone walls around the proving ground, shuttling from one spatial door to another.

The female apprentices of the Assassin Dao Alliance have never participated in this kind of bloody trial, and this kind of competition in the voluntary mode of participation is more of a man's previous competition, just for valuable points and a few spiritual runes that can improve the cultivation realm.

But tonight, for the sake of the original encounter with a heartbeat, she came to this trial pagoda that would swallow her at any moment.

At this time, the tower had long been sealed and imprisoned, and even those who participated in the trial could only stay in secret rooms that were not connected to each other.

She stole the runes that entered the tower, and trespassed on her own. If the matter was leaked, these two charges alone could have cost her life.

Suddenly, a familiar airway made her stop at the entrance of a secret room for a long time, and the heart pool, which was originally as quiet as stagnant water, seemed to have a small ripple.

Yes, that should be Xu Ning's residence, and I don't know if he can sense this heartbeat in his sleep at this time?

Bai Shenyu continued to move forward, until, when she caught a thick Gang Qi swimming nearby, she stopped, and the ghost light in her eyes was even stronger.

She pressed her palm carefully against the stone wall, gently pushing open a gap as she could. He took out a soul talisman from his bosom and threw it in......

Temporal Pagoda. At noon, the sun is still shining.

The tower was already crowded with people, and all the disciples of Rashomon were present, and they were surrounded by water.

The trial competition in which a young disciple of the fifth layer of the General Realm participated was able to attract the attention of so many people, and it was the first time in Rashomon.

Yesterday, the grand occasion of the competition between Xu Ning and Cao Yun has been rumored, and today, this strange new character will directly face Ma Hong on the eighth layer of the Great General Realm, this gimmick is really powerful.

The head of Rashomon and the five elders sat at the front desk, and the other major families sat at the end. In addition to the patriarch of the Long family, the Ma family, and the North Gate family, even the Luo family and the Bai family, who have always rarely shown their faces, have arranged for important figures to come to watch and investigate.

It seems that yesterday's scene, Xu Ning's peculiar martial arts really shocked many people, these people are all outstanding in martial arts and well-informed, but when they heard about what happened to Xu Ning, they were all surprised.

Sun Yuan was wearing a white shirt today, and his seemingly calm face was full of worries.

From the day Xu Ning started, he found that this child had a special strong temperament, and from that moment on, he judged that Xu Ning's future must be limitless.

Today, Xu Ning's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he is going to face Ma Hong, the president of the Dragon and Tiger Association whose strength is far better than his own, although his courage is commendable, but this gap is too obvious, and the life and death of the masters of the pagoda trial are often in an instant. What's more, the hatred and grudge between the two have been accumulated for a long time, and they must want to put each other to death.

Thinking that Ma Hong's martial arts cultivation had reached the eighth layer of the Great General Realm, his worries about Xu Ning increased a few points.

The corners of Sun Yuan's eyes swept over, and the Ma family and the minions of the Dragon and Tiger Sect were mixed together, and the expressions of impatience seemed to be decided.

Sun Yuan was very unhappy, no wonder, Sun Yuan was nominally the head of Rashomon, but in fact, there were many factions in the sect, and they were all held together by a long-standing alliance letter. But if this goes on for a long time, there will be a bloody storm inside the door, not to mention that Rashomon will fall apart by then, even if you are involved in it, it is a question of whether you can live or not.

"Father, today's duel between Big Brother Xu and Ma Hong, why do I feel that there is no chance of winning?" Long Tian stood behind his father, his face gloomy and miserable.

Long De sat firmly on the high chair, looking calm and relaxed.

After listening to his son's words, Long De said loudly with full of anger: "You don't have to bother yourself, how can the ambitious young man of my Long family be comparable to Ma Hong?" What if the cultivation is higher than a few realms, it is reasonable and natural for Xu Ning to win today. ”

Long De deliberately said this to the Ma family, and as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the Ma family with a look of disdain. The members of the Ma family and the Dragon and Tiger Society had long been angry and wanted to ridicule each other, only to hear a clear sound coming from the trial pagoda, and the originally chaotic and enthusiastic atmosphere outside the arena suddenly calmed down.

The deacon elder in charge of the trial stood up from his seat and announced, "On the fourth floor of the trial pagoda, Xu Ning challenges Ma Hong to start now!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several people who were originally standing around the pagoda were concentrating on chanting mantras to relieve the maze at this time, and one of them was a white sunken fish!

In the dumbfounded eyes of everyone, the tower that was originally built like obsidian was faintly fading, and the tower body changed from black to light, and finally the figure in the tower began to appear vaguely and gradually became clear.

The Temporal Pagoda became crystal-like and transparent, and only the light and shadow that swayed by itself made people feel its existence.

The curtain has been lifted, and the show has begun.

It's just that the trialists in this tower body naturally won't notice this abnormality.

The entire fourth-floor trial arena was frozen in a thick depression inside and outside, making people have to breathe vigorously. The other trial warriors stood silently around the edge, waiting for the moment when the long silence would be broken.

It's ridiculous to say that today's trial challengers all gave up their request to continue the competition, just hoping that the high-profile competition would be more real.

There was still a trace of greenness on the young face, and Xu Ning was still peaceful and serene. Under the purple green shirt, this body is becoming more and more majestic, and the qi in the body is like an undercurrent rushing, and the demon slaying chain looms from the exposed skin, ready to shoot out at any time, ruthlessly destroying a target.

Xu Ning has gradually become an adult, with a jade face and red lips, and an extraordinary aura, but the sadness that is forever attached between the eyebrows has never changed.

Ma Hong is also dressed in a green shirt, judging from his face alone, he can also be called handsome, and his gestures are even more chic and handsome. If he hadn't known that he was the president of the Dragon and Tiger Society, he would have thought that he must be a humble gentleman.

At this moment, Ma Hong had something more in his hand - a delicate long sword, and it was said that it was delicate because the sword body was very thin, and it seemed out of place to hold it in a man's hand.

The sword body is as clear as ice crystals, and there are some shallow lines on it, which is really exquisite.

For a moment, the light emitted from the ice crystal stung Xu Ning's eyes.

In Xu Ning's opinion, when a martial artist with strong internal strength evokes this thin sword, the scene must be very funny, like a skilled dancer stepping on a pair of ill-fitting shoes.

But someone must not think so.

In Xu Ning's divine sense, there was an old man's voice communicating with him, worried: "This is a five-grade sword, look at the sigil of this sword body, it should be blessed with some kind of power, you must be careful."

Xu Ning also secretly responded with his divine sense: "This person and his two brothers are not only very different in martial arts cultivation, but they are also quite strategic. ”

"Well, seeing that he is young, he must be a very scheming person who can control the Dragon and Tiger Gate, and he is underestimated as a teacher." The old man continued, "The arrow has to be fired, no matter how powerful he is, you still use the strategy I taught you yesterday. ”

Xu Ning was relieved in his heart: "Avoid its edge and wait for the opportunity to break." Master, please rest assured, the disciples will keep it in mind. ”

The old man of Huangji is in hiding again, the arrow is bound to be fired, and it is useless to say more at this time, it is still up to Xu Ning's own creation and potential.

Ma Hong looked at Xu Ning, but a smile inexplicably squeezed out of his originally stagnant face.

"It's time for the farce of the Rashomon genius to end." Ma Hong smiled, "In my eyes, you are already a dead man." ”
