Chapter 22: The Second Round
Lin Yu didn't pay attention to these false flatteries, and after being humble, he didn't speak.
When the first round of testing was over, the beautiful woman stood up and spoke, and said, "Okay, the first round of testing is over, a total of fifty-six people have passed, and now the second round of testing begins, and this time the top five are the candidates for the Six Veins Conference." ”
Titicaca!
Under the fiery gaze of everyone, the huge wall in front of the square suddenly cracked, revealing five deep paths and paths, which did not know where they led.
At this time, Changshu took a few steps forward, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly to the crowd: "Everyone, this is the second round of the test, all the disciples who defeated the puppet are eligible to participate, this test is very simple, as long as you reach the top of the mountain first, and inject the true spirit into the Hun Spirit Tablet, but this test cannot perform the sword technique, and the top ten will receive rich rewards." I won't say much more, let's get into the test now. ”
The voice of the long book was not loud, but it was unusually thick under the infusion of the true spirit, and it spread for several miles in a radius, and everyone could hear it clearly.
The mountain is as steep as if it had been split with a sword, and the cliffs are everywhere. Its peaks are towering into the clouds, standing upright among the clouds, and the trees in the mountains are lush and verdant, giving people a sense of poetic beauty, but also making people feel majestic and steep. The entrance to the wall of the plaza is quite narrow enough for only five people to enter side by side, but inside, the space suddenly opens up, giving a completely different visual experience from the outside.
Fifty-six people were divided into five groups and chose different paths to enter.
Whew!Whew!
As soon as Lin Yu and the others stepped into the chosen secluded path, the grass on both sides trembled, and a group of heavily armed puppets with big knives jumped out of it, slashing at them like a withering and decaying slash, cutting down several people in an instant, and suddenly miserable howls and curses sounded one after another.
Dodging to avoid the attack of a puppet, the "Cold Ice Sword" on Lin Yu's waist instantly came out of its sheath, cutting off the big knife that shot in front of him, and his body suddenly lowered and pierced through in an instant.
"It's dangerous. Lin Yu exhaled lightly and said with palpitations.
All the way forward, there are fewer and fewer people, and there are only four people left from the original dozen or so, and along the way, not to mention the puppets that suddenly attacked, even the beasts are countless. And there were two forks in the forest again, so the only four people left were also split into two.
While Lin Yu was hurrying away, he saw that the people behind him were slowly choking, and soon a hot air spread to the surroundings.
Feeling the strangeness behind him, Lin Yu slowed down for a moment. Glancing at the man behind him with some doubts, he didn't know what the other party had in mind, could it be that he had already felt some crisis? At this time, the man seemed to be aware of Lin Yu's eyes, and immediately raised his head and smiled at him. Seeing this, Lin Yu naturally smiled in return. Although I have a little doubt in my heart, I will not waste time for this reason, after all, time waits for no one, and the number of places in the competition is limited.
At this time, a gloomy smile appeared on the man behind Lin Yu, and he said coldly: "You just stay here." The man's body slowed down due to the chopping and accelerated suddenly, and the surface of his right fist was red, and he slammed into Lin Yu with a boundless heat wave.
Lin Yu looked surprised, and hurriedly greeted him with a palm.
Boom!
The palms and fists collided, and the surrounding trees and the ground seemed to tremble, and a strong wind swept in all directions.
Caught off guard, gathering the true spirit in a hurry, Lin Yu only felt that his arm was burning, and a stream of hot gas was transmitted from the opponent's fist, and his body was immediately unstable, and he took five steps back, and exclaimed, "Why are you?"
The young man withdrew his fist, his face slightly surprised, "It seems that I underestimated you, and I reacted so quickly." But does that need a reason? Wouldn't one less opponent have a better chance of getting a place?"
Lin Yu shook his hand to extinguish the sparks on his palm, his face gradually turned cold, the leaves blown by the wind flew in the forest, and he said lightly: "That's true, but the price is a little expensive." ”
The surprise on his face faded, and the man sneered: "Expensive price, don't be mistaken, the reason why I chose to sneak attack just now is just because I don't want to waste my true spirit, don't think that I am proud of my extraordinary performance during the test, I am not afraid of you at all." ”
Lin Yu didn't say anything to refute, he knew that any words were useless, only strength was king. Lin Yu looked at the other party with no joy or sorrow, and the true spirit of the whole body was urged to the limit, hidden but not revealed, just waiting for the critical moment to make a winning blow.
The young man smiled gloomily, a trace of murderous intent burst out of his eyes, Lin Yu's indifferent attitude made him feel underestimated, after all, he usually fought with people, who dared not to use all his strength, otherwise he would have been beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, falling to the ground and rolling.
The young man's footsteps were slightly, stretching out his right hand, and the red fist first sparked, and then sparks, the sparks burned more and more, and finally formed a blazing flame, and the fist wrapped in flames was like a molten hand, exuding unbearable temperature, making people feel hot and sweaty.
The young man sneered rampantly: "I haven't exerted my full strength just now, now I want to see if you can catch my punch, hahaha." ”
"Lots of words. ”
At this moment, a figure flashed over, and Lin Yu instantly unsheathed the "Cold Ice Sword", wanting to kill with a sword.
He is not fast when he goes all out, but he is not comparable to others, after all, in the face of some powerful opponents, the subtlety and swiftness of his moves often occupy a great advantage.
In the blink of an eye, a cold sword light appeared in an instant, swinging the sword at an unimaginable speed, and instantly retracted and sheathed.
The young man stood there in disbelief, looking down at his right hand being penetrated by a cold air, and at some point there was an extra sword mark on his arm, which came out of his arm, and blood stained the grass red.
The young man wanted to move his arms, but the cold that had swept him away prevented him from moving, and his expression was pale and a little painful spread, giving people a sense of imminent weakness.
The corners of his mouth moved slightly, wanting to say something, but he seemed to want to speak and stop because of fear, so he had to look at Lin Yu with fear, not daring to change slightly.
Lin Yu slowly walked towards the young man, picked up the jade pendant and glanced at it, and said lightly: "Xu Feng, right, I won't kill you today, if you come to provoke me again in the future, the consequences will not be so simple." After speaking, the palm of his hand was slightly forced, and the jade pendant instantly turned into powder.
Lin Yu also wanted to stay longer, and after the warning, he rushed to the top of the mountain.
......
The sunlight is still as usual, scattered light spots, gently scattered in the dark forest, like the light being broken by the branches, slowly shining on Lin Yu's face, some deep, some gorgeous.
In the bleak and lush mountain woods, the puppets jumped out one by one and cut down every person, and the beasts and poisons were not far behind, and they came out one after another to attack everyone. Sure enough, at the last moment, the difficulty and danger also intensified.
The dozen or so people in front of Lin Yu had to slow down their pace and strengthen their concentration, and the province fell short at the last moment.
However, Lin Yu did not slow down at all, but walked faster and faster, ignoring the attacks of the puppets and beast poisons, and always got out of danger at critical moments, and the things that stood in his way were destroyed by them, and they were unstoppable all the way.
Seeing that Lin Yu was so strong, the people in front couldn't help but exclaim. However, it was not a wise move to punish the gods here, and he was knocked to the ground by several puppets in the middle of his return, and he regretted that he was not concentrating.
Lin Yu slashed from above it, took advantage of the situation to cut off the heads of two beasts with a sword, and then his feet were thrillingly stuck in the hands of the two puppets swinging their swords, and the timing was just right. After passing through the danger and danger, Lin Yu turned around with a stunning sword light, which instantly made his body look different.
At this time, the sun poured through the dense leaves on Lin Yu's delicate face, and the wind also blew his black sideburns, adding a little indifference to his otherwise calm face. Lin Yu ignored the stunned expression of the person in front of him, and his body drew a graceful arc like a wing, easily passing past him.
As for Lin Yu's ability to be so calm, it is not because of how strong his strength is, nor because of Lin Yu's ability to perceive and react quickly, but because of the situation. After Xu Feng's sneak attack, he undoubtedly wasted a lot of time, and with his own cultivation not high, he inevitably lagged behind the others. If you don't maintain a calm and calm attitude, most of them will make mistakes at this time. Lin Yu was not in a hurry After accurate calculations, he quickly chose the best route, and he did not reserve any reservations along the way.
In this way, Lin Yu was finally in a leading position, leaving most of the people far behind.
However, Lin Yu knew that the real test of this exam was still to come! This test could be said to be all the disciples of the Shadow Peak Branch, among which the cultivation was at least above the Nine Folds Gathering Qi, and there were also quite a few cultivators in the Spirit Condensation Realm, and there were even a few outstanding cultivators above the middle stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm. Lin Yu dared to conclude that there must be a few masters at the top of the mountain now.
......
The remnant sun is like blood, and the originally dazzling sunlight has become a little tame, and the vast sky is like drunkenness, drunkenly paved with a thick glow of redness. At this time, the mountain forest has gradually dimmed, but at this time, Lin Yu is about to be on the top of the mountain, and the sky on the side of the mountain is faintly entangled with fairy mist-like clouds, ethereal, uncertain, and void changes, like a fairyland.
Leaning through the gloomy bushes, Lin Yu exerted his spiritual power, and finally saw the exit, and also sensed the location of the Hun Ling Monument. Although I saw the exit, it didn't mean that I was already winning.
When he was overjoyed, Lin Yu also sensed that there were several powerful True Spirit fluctuations in front of him, if as expected, it was the fluctuation of the Spirit Condensing Realm!
Feeling the extremely cold air pressure, Lin Yu had a crisis in his heart for the first time, holding the sword with one hand to holding the sword with both hands, the true spirit in his body flowed rapidly, and he was ready for a hard battle......
The target is ahead, and although it is extremely dangerous, Lin Yu is not willing to give up halfway and escape. He crept out of the gap behind the bushes, and when he looked around, he saw that the clearing in front of him was a mess, and there were signs of destruction by spells and sharp weapons.
That's not all, in this chaotic clearing, there are still several men with swords standing quietly, with blood stains on the corners of their mouths, as if they have already fought a big battle. Moreover, there was another person crawling on the grass not far from them, and the blood gushing out from under his legs had stained a small piece of land around him red, and he had no strength to fight again, he should be the one who had fallen behind in the previous battle.
"It's all condensing spirit realm cultivation, how good should this be!" Looking at everything quietly, Lin Yujian's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He knew what this scene represented!
In the end, the remaining places are very limited, and they are afraid that they will fight fiercely for the last few places. Lin Yu felt that at the top of the mountain, there were three pairs of ghostly eyes watching them, lingering, like shadows. In this way, there are only two places left to participate in the Six Veins Conference!
All these signs made Lin Yu feel pressured, he had to seize the opportunity and instantly pass through the path that these people were keeping, otherwise everything he had done before would come to naught.
Time passed quietly, the time to make a move was delayed, and Lin Yu couldn't help but be a little impatient. After waiting for a while, only the sound of the wind rubbing against the leaves could be heard, but the opposing people in the open space were still standing in place, not moving at all, and had no intention of making a move.
Lin Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slowly sent out the "Cold Ice Sword", the true spirit in his body was mobilized to the limit, and the delicate sweat on his forehead gently slashed down, ready to die.
At this moment, a figure flashed over, and when he saw the confrontation, he vigilantly accelerated his speed, and shot directly towards the path leading to the top of the mountain like a sharp arrow.
didn't sweep halfway, there was a faint cold snort from the confrontational people, and then a white sword light shot out, hitting his knee unbiasedly, only to hear the person's "ah", and immediately fell to the ground, wailing.
However, this is not the swan song, as the leader appeared, not far from the dense trees, many figures jumped out one after another, no less than ten people, swarming towards the only exit, the momentum is amazing. They should know that it is unlikely that they will break through alone, so they choose to sprint together in the crowd, so they may be able to fish in troubled waters, why not.
However, hitting the stone softly is just boring after all.
Seeing the flood sweeping in, the confrontation was only slightly stunned, and then returned to normal. After sneering, the palms of the contemptuous people were pinched, and suddenly the sword qi of different colors poured down mercilessly like a hazy drizzle, covering the crowd of people coming from the shop.
Seeing this, everyone in the crowd was shocked, and hurriedly condensed their shields to resist the overwhelming sword qi. But it was only hard to support for a while, and then it was gradually swallowed by the boundless sword qi, and suddenly the forest cried and called for his mother, and the wailing continued.
Looking at everything that happened in surprise, the "Cold Ice Sword" in his hand gradually drooped, and Lin Yu chose to continue to be silent, because he knew that going out now was tantamount to looking for death, so he had to wait for a good opportunity.
However, after this bloody storm, the confrontation was still motionless, but Lin Yu, who was born with a keen intuition, noticed the strangeness in it.
Lin Yu found that although the confrontation was not verbally talking, there was something strange in their eyes, as if they were communicating. So Lin Yu reined in his spiritual power and slowly exerted his spiritual power imperceptibly, secretly infiltrating his perception power into the center of several people, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed through his eyes.
