Chapter 90: The Line Between Life and Death (Part 6)
"Serve ...... Convincing! I'm really convinced! There aren't many people I've admired in my life, but you're definitely ...... Count one! Tired...... I'm exhausted! β
Zhang Yi turned his head with difficulty, and with the sound of "crackling" bones rubbing in his neck, he looked at the wolf bΓ¨i unbearable Talon with that blurred vision, squeezed out a smile, and said hoarsely: "Succession...... Go on! β
Talon retracted his gaze and looked at the steps above, he had now reached the limit of what he could bear, and he had even made up his mind to stop here and get a good rest. But Zhang Yi's words seemed to be injected into his body, making him grit his teeth and roar:
"Continue ......"
Zhang Yi pulled the corners of his mouth, for so many years on this Divine Sword Island, he had experienced so many explosions of his body from the first layer to the current ninth layer, so the taste of his brain swelling and chest stuffiness was too familiar.
He knows!
If you want to break through the limits of your body, you have to persist and persevere.
One step, it takes ten minutes, and the speed of a snail's climb is already outrageously slow. With every centimeter of climbing, the pressure increases.
Hang on!
His consciousness gradually became blurred, if it weren't for him sticking to his heart and keeping the last trace of clarity on the spiritual platform, I am afraid that he would have been pressed down by the huge pressure used from all sides at this moment, and he might even pass out.
Time passes.
Four days later, Zhang Yi was only a few dozen steps away from the ninth floor, but it was these dozens of steps. Like an insurmountable trench, the pressure he was under was greater than the previous more than 900 steps.
"I ...... No...... Come on. β
Talon had been torn off his clothes. Naked and sturdy upper body, sweating like rain stopped on the steps. The reason why he has been able to persist until now is entirely because of the stimulation that Zhang Yi has brought him, and in the last few hundred steps, he has said "no" countless times, but whenever he sees Zhang Yi on the verge of collapse, he gritted his teeth and worked hard. So he had no choice but to insist.
But!
He really couldn't bear it at this moment.
Before, he had done crazy things, but he had never done anything crazy with his life. You know, the higher you go, the more pressure you have, and if you really can't hold on, your body will collapse immediately. Once the body collapses. Then there is only one fate.
"The last few dozen steps, what to do? Do you want to give up? β
Talon's skin also faintly showed signs of breaking, so his footsteps had stopped, and with a thoughtful light in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yi with difficulty.
"What?"
His distorted complexion changed slightly, as he found that Zhang Yi seemed to have lost consciousness, as if he had become a machine, and Zhang Yi's body was already red. The capillaries all over the body have begun to become congested, as if there is a danger of explosion at any time.
"Zhang Yi. Stop it! Dangerous! β
Talon shouted in that hoarse voice.
Pity!
Zhang Yi couldn't hear Talon's voice at this time, and the only spiritual platform he guarded had only one thought, that is, to insist on persisting and persevering, and he must persist until the ninth layer.
Lift the step, slow as a turtle.
Moving the body is even more slow to the extreme.
If you don't look closely, you can't even see that Zhang Yi's body is moving.
Twenty minutes later, the corners of Talon's mouth twitched fiercely, watching Zhang Yi finally step up a step, and finally he made a decision, with a look of death in his eyes, he lifted his steps with difficulty and moved towards it.
His cultivation realm has reached the sixth level of refining the god returning to the void intermediate realm, which is much stronger than Zhang Yi, so he firmly believes that his physical strength is also stronger than Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi can do it, and he thinks he can do it too.
Crazy!
How many times can a person go crazy in this life? How many times can you go crazy with your life?
This time!
Fight!
He is willing to accompany Zhang Yi to go crazy, if he dies, I am afraid that Zhang Yi will only have a dead end, there is also an admirable person on Huangquan Road to accompany him, if he can't die, and finally succeed in reaching the ninth floor, it will definitely be a great progress.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dull voice came from the steps above, and a middle-aged man in a black robe appeared from the entrance of the ninth floor and walked down step by step.
"What? This kid ...... It's him? β
The black-robed middle-aged man had an unbelievable look in his eyes, his mouth was wide open, and even he, who had a very high cultivation realm, couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, quickly raised the back of his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, looking at Zhang Yi, who was almost unconscious and moving like a machine, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.
How can it be?
How is this possible?
When I first met him, he was still struggling at the bottom of the layers, but how long has it been? Fifty years? Or sixty years?
How could he possibly have the strength to climb this ninth layer?
This......
Is this kid still human?
The shocking feeling that rose from the bottom of the black-robed middle-aged man's heart was quickly suppressed by him, and a bit of jealousy appeared from his eyes, and in an instant, a long sword appeared in his hand.
Peerless geniuses can be had!
Because he was once known as a peerless genius!
But!
There is a peerless genius who is more than him, and he must not appear. If he hadn't touched it, it would have been fine, but now that he has touched it, he can even destroy the other party with his fingers, and he will definitely not be soft.
With this thought, the long sword in his hand stabbed towards Zhang Yi, and his footsteps quickly moved towards the bottom of the steps.
Zhang Yi's life is in danger.
"Stop."
A hazy figure appeared like lightning behind the black-robed middle-aged man, seeing that it was too late to rescue Zhang Yi, the figure that appeared behind him directly stabbed at the black-robed middle-aged man with a long sword, if he was stabbed, he would definitely be able to kill the black-robed middle-aged man.
Critical moments!
You can only use the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao!
"Bastard!"
The black-robed middle-aged man keenly noticed the attack behind him, and he didn't care about continuing to attack Zhang Yi, his footsteps moved quickly, and his body also moved to the side, and as the murderous aura on his body emanated, he turned around and looked at the person who came.
It's him?
Drinker?
The black-robed middle-aged man frowned, and a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
His strength is not comparable to that of a drunkard, and even he only comprehended the eighth sword move not long ago and came to the ninth layer. The drunkard, on the other hand, was already on the ninth layer a long time ago, and now it is very likely that he is not far from the Dacheng of the "Originator Sword Technique".
"Drunkard, we have no enmity recently, and no resentment from afar, why did you attack me?" The black-robed middle-aged man asked in a cold voice.
A cold light also burst out in the drunkard's eyes, looking at Zhang Yi who was almost collapsed, he was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Zhang Yi to fall into such a dangerous situation at this time, let alone that Zhang Yi would be able to come to this ninth layer so quickly.
How long has he been on Excalibur Island? All the time added up is less than a penny, right? He actually has the strength to win the ninth layer?
However, when he saw Talon, who was also almost in a collapse, he sighed secretly in his heart, turned to look at the black-robed old middle-aged man and said, "Yelu Changhao, if you dare to move a finger from him, I will kill you, regardless of a single qiΔ, and kill you by any means." β
The black-robed middle-aged man's face became extremely gloomy, if it weren't for the fear of the drunkard, he really wanted to cut the drunkard with a thousand knives and dismantle eight pieces.
"Drunkard, who are you, this young man? How did you protect him so much? β
The drunkard sneered: "You are not qualified to know who he is, you just need to know that no one can hurt him, if you want to hurt him, you have to give me something, otherwise, if I don't die, he won't die!" β
What the?
Yelu Changhao's heart was shocked, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, his gloomy complexion gradually unfolded in a slight change, and even a little smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "Since he is the person you want to protect as a drunkard, then I will sell you some face and let him live." β
Finished!
He glanced at Zhang Yi coldly, turned around and walked down from one side.
The drunkard rolled his eyes at Yelu Changhao's back, if it weren't for Zhang Yi's presence, he would definitely teach Yelu Changhao a lesson, and it was even very likely that he would kill him.
His gaze slowly shifted to Zhang Yi, a wry smile appeared on his old face, and he muttered angrily: "Fortunately, I came in time, if I was one step late, this kid would be dead on the spot." But...... He's crazy! It's been less than sixty years, and he dares to climb the ninth floor, isn't he afraid of being crushed to death by the spatial gravity here? β
With the previous incident, the drunkard didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that someone would have bad intentions and kill Zhang Yi, so he stayed by Zhang Yi's side and silently watched him continue to move towards it.
Eight hours later.
Zhang Yi finally stepped onto the ninth floor, and the moment his footsteps stopped, there was a "crackling" sound from his body. And his original height of 1.86 meters also began to squeeze continuously, and after the whole person swelled violently, and after shrinking violently, his height shrank by three centimeters, leaving only 1.83 meters left.
"Hoo ......"
After half a day, Zhang Yi slowly eased up, but his body still couldn't move, because the spatial gravity of the ninth layer was too great, and he was a little out of breath.
"Stinky boy, even if you are looking for death, you won't run to this ninth layer! Could it be that you have already finished the cultivation of the sixth layer and thoroughly comprehended the sixth sword move? The drunkard stood in front of Zhang Yi and said angrily.
Zhang Yi squeezed out a smile, he didn't know that he was in a dangerous situation before, so he didn't have the slightest psychological burden, and said in that hoarse and vague voice: "It's ...... Understand! β
"Really understood?"
The drunkard's body shuddered and reaffirmed in disbelief.
"Comprehension...... Finish! β
Zhang Yi replied again, but his wheezing Cheng dΓΉ had been reduced a lot. (To be continued......)
