Chapter 58: The Test (2)
Blue wind blades slashed through me, and many scars appeared on my body, and traces of blood slowly flowed out of the wounds.
At the same time, a white light enveloped me, and the wounds on my body were slowly healed.
However, in a space that I couldn't see, a man in a blue robe was staring at the dark figure in front of him with solemn eyes.
"I didn't think it would be you!" The blue-robed man was surprised.
"Senior, it's a bit out of line to do this!" The black shadow said lightly. There was only flatness in his tone, without the slightest hint of emotional flatness.
"As the most famous general of that era, he has actually fallen to this point?" The blue-robed man teased.
"Each other, each other." The black shadow glanced at him and said lightly.
"I wasn't going to kill that kid, but to get my approval, he'll have to pass my test." The blue-robed man looked at the black shadow and said solemnly.
"That's your business!" The dark shadow said softly.
"If I did kill that kid, would you avenge him?" The blue-robed man suddenly said this.
"You can't kill him with me." The black shadow said softly, but there was a hint of pride in his tone, the pride of the strong.
"Do you think you can beat me? You're no longer strong now. The blue-robed man's eyes narrowed.
"Hmph, aren't you the same, ruining half of your cultivation for a woman." The black shadow said lightly.
"Alright, it's time for me to meet this guy who can make you all deign to protect it." After speaking, the blue-robed man disappeared in place.
The black shadow looked in Cao Fan's direction, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared in place.
I was half-on my knees, gasping for breath. Hands trembled uncontrollably.
"You... Scared? The voice rang out behind me again.
I turned to see a black hair with a blue ribbon tied around it, an indigo robe with a wide sword hanging around his waist, the scabbard was inlaid with a dazzling blue gem, the eyebrows were long into the sideburns, the eyes were slender and gentle, and the bridge of the nose was beautiful.
The figure is quite beautiful and tall, the complexion is as clear as jade, and the indescribable elegance is dusty, as if it is a celestial person.
As a boy, I was also attracted by the appearance of men.
I shook my head and shouted, "Who are you and what do you want to do!" β
"Follow me." With that, he turned and walked into the tunnel.
My face sank and I quickly followed.
Through the narrow tunnel, I followed the blue-robed man to a large hall.
On both sides of the hall were piles of white bones, and around them were eight lampposts burning with eerie blue fires.
He walked to the stone platform in the middle, and turned slightly sideways to reveal the hilt of a sword carved with a blue sacred bird.
He turned to look at me and said, "This is what you're looking for." Pull it out and it's yours, and I'm the instrument of this tool. β
I looked at him, then at the hilt of the sword, and said in a deep voice, "What is the price?" β
"I thought you'd just take it," he shrugged.
"The price, it's very simple, the girl who came with you has to stay here forever." The blue-robed man said lightly.
"What?!" I looked at him in amazement.
"What's this, just leave her here and you can get the power to break the curse, why not?" The blue-robed man said lightly.
"Youβ" I trembled with anger. After a while, I gradually calmed down, "If I have to sacrifice her to get this power, then I'd rather not." β
"Hmph, you can think clearly, she also has a spirit tool over there, and the test is the same as yours, if she chooses to take the spirit tool, you will stay here forever." The blue-robed man said in a deep voice.
"Then I'll stay!" I looked at the blue-robed man and said firmly.
"Alright, let's play a game of chess first." After saying that, he walked to a chessboard and sat down cross-legged, stretched out a hand and said, "Please!" β
I glanced at him and walked over and sat cross-legged across from him.
"This game of chess has never been played for thousands of years, and today I hope there will be a result." The blue-robed man said lightly, his right hand picked up a black chess piece and landed on the chessboard.
On the other side, Yang Wei fled in embarrassment, her clothes were torn in several places, and a lot of blood was oozing from her body. The dagger that Uncle Zhao left her had long since broken.
The giant snake kept chasing after her, and it waved its thick tail to send Yang Wei flying out again. Yang Wei was directly smashed through the wall by this heavy blow, fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, and her breath quickly withered.
The giant snake glanced at her, opened its bloody mouth, and was ready to swallow the seriously injured girl in front of her.
Yang Wei closed her eyes in resignation, but after a long time, she never felt the sharp pain in her body, she slowly opened her eyes, only to see a crimson willow leaf long sword piercing the head of the snake nailing it to the ground.
And a beautiful and slender, burgundy long hair shawl, beautiful delicate body, dressed in a light red gown, shining in the dim candlelight around him, indifferent, elegant, like a fairy in the heavenly realm appeared in front of Yang Wei.
With a wave of her hand, Yang Wei's injuries were already seven or eight points better.
"You're Yang Wei." The woman looked at Yang Wei and spoke softly, her voice was very ethereal and beautiful.
Yang Wei nodded a little ignorantly.
"I'm a machine spirit, but I'm so badly injured I can't wake up in time, I'm sorry." The woman said after giving Yang Wei a salute.
"It's fine." Yang Wei shook her head and said.
"That is my body, pull it out and you can use my power to survive." The woman spoke softly.
Yang Wei turned to look, and on the stone platform in the middle of the hall was a sword hilt carved with a red firebird.
She walked over to the hilt of the sword and was about to pull it out, when suddenly she turned to look at the woman in red and asked, "Where is my husband?" β
The woman was slightly stunned, and then said, "It doesn't matter, when you pick it up, your man will stay here forever." β
"What are you kidding! I don't want it. Yang Wei stood aside angrily.
The woman was not annoyed, but said lightly, "If you don't take it, you will have to stay here when he gets it, is it worth giving up the chance to live for a man?" β
"Then let him take it, I can die for him, I don't regret it." Yang Wei shouted at the woman, her body trembling, but her eyes were full of determination.
The woman looked at Yang Wei, and suddenly smiled for a long time, "You... It worked. β
βοΌβ Yang Wei looked at her strangely.
The blue-robed man looked at the stalemate chess game in front of him and shook his head: "Sure enough, it still doesn't work!" β
After speaking, he looked at Cao Fan and said, "You won!" β
βοΌοΌβ I looked at him strangely.
Then the man got up and waved his hand, and suddenly the sky was spinning, and Cao Fan only felt a feeling of dizziness hit him and lost consciousness.
After some time, I heard Yang Wei's voice, "Cao Fan, Cao Fan." β
"Huh!" I struggled to open my eyes to find that I was lying in Yang Wei's arms, and we had come to the hall where we had just entered the tomb, and there were two sword hilts stuck in the stone platform in the center.
"What's going on?" I sat up slowly.
"I don't know." Yang Wei sat next to me and said softly.
"Congratulations to the two of you for passing our testβthe spirit tool commander Mo Xie is at the mercy of the Lord." The two hilts of the swords suddenly spoke.
Yang Wei and I glanced at each other, then got up together and walked to the side of the stone platform.
I held the blue hilt, Yang Wei held the red hilt, we looked at each other and then exerted together, and as the two 'swords' were drawn, a strong light illuminated the entire cave.
The mountains outside also shook......
