The wind and clouds of heaven and earth changed suddenly, and the colorful light of the Dao Dao flew from the sky, and finally converged into a one-meter-square sand table in front of the intimate heart.

A half-meter-high Shu Mountain is located in the center of the sand table, exactly the same as the Shu Mountain under everyone's feet, but it is ten million times smaller.

With his right hand, Ye Zhen grabbed a handful of gravel from nowhere, looked at the sand table in front of him, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the gravel hovered above the sand table.

At the same time, hundreds of stones of various sizes fell from the sky, smashed down the ladder, and rolled down the mountain like an avalanche.

These hundreds of stones are naturally negligible for the entire Shu Mountain, but the people who are assessed due to the stones rolling down directly below are not lightly frightened!

If it were usual, it would be okay to double the number of stones, but now that he was suppressed by that strange force, his strength was not one in a hundred, and he saw that he had dodged most of them, but he was still smashed by a certain piece and rolled down the ladder!

This scene was like a snowball, I don't know how many people accompanied the stones, screaming and rolling down the stairs, but during the period, a few unlucky guys were hit in the head by the boulder, and in an instant, the golden light flashed, and people appeared at the bottom of the mountain.

"You're eliminated" Looking at the person in front of him, Yun Yin crossed out his name.

"OMG! What kind of assessment is this, it will kill someone," said with a pale face on the edge of the ladder, if it weren't for Hua Qiangu reminding her to walk out of the range of the ladder, she would have lost, and then pulled her by mistake, so that the two of them avoided the stone at the same time, I am afraid that both of them would be hit by the boulder.

"Qingshui, didn't you forget to teleport the jade plate, if there is a mortal danger, you will be teleported away," Hua Qiangu smiled.

Qingshui rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "You can still laugh, I thought that the assessment of the long stay was already difficult, but I didn't expect that the one in Shushan was even more difficult, why!" ”

"Just because there is a big brother in Shushan," Hua Qiangu muttered.

"What did you say?" Qingshui didn't hear it well enough.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, let's go up quickly, in case there will be another big rock landing later," Hua Qiangu hurriedly said.

......

At the same time, the Baizi painting located on the mountain, when Ye Zhen sprinkled the stones, he was attracted by Shuofeng, but he knew that the formation laid by Ye Zhen was a difficulty from one to ten layers, ten layers to a hundred layers, a hundred layers to a thousand layers, a thousand layers to nine thousand, and this pressure would change a total of four times, gradually deepening.

Now the vast majority of people are still crawling on hundreds of floors, but this wind has crossed the thousand-layer mark at an extremely fast speed, and the speed has slowed down sharply.

And in the face of the falling boulders, he obviously had the strength to smash the stones that smashed at him, but he chose to dodge very wisely to preserve his strength, even if Ye Zhen intentionally or unintentionally made it the target of most of the stones, but it only made him retreat by three orders.

"Brother Ye, this son has a good talent," Bai Zihua whispered, although he did not personally supervise the Changliu apprentices, but he was always carrying out spiritual talisman transmission with his junior brother Ruzun.

I know that there are also several outstanding disciples in this long school.

It's just that compared with the current wind, it's still a little noticeable.

Ye Zhen just smiled indifferently, and with a wave of his right hand, countless iron nails were sprinkled by Ye Zhen on the Shu Mountain on the sand table.

The next moment, Shuo Feng, who was walking hard, snorted, his body was crooked, and he almost fell to the ground.

Looking down, an iron nail actually emerged through the instep of the foot, but it was strangely not bleeding, but the pain was real.

Forced to endure the severe pain and lift his foot, the iron nail turned into starlight and disappeared, as if it could only play a role once.

And there was no wound on the foot, but the footstep that had just been raised fell and was pierced by an iron nail again!

Shuo Feng endured the severe pain and frowned, "This kind of iron nail seems to be extremely sharp, and it is not easy to detect, and it will only be used if it is completely stepped on."

After Shuofeng stepped on three nails, there were screams one after another from below, and there were still some unlucky ghosts, who couldn't bear the pain, and rolled down the stairs directly, and finally disappeared into streamers on the way down.

And the girl in white who was closest to Shuofeng gave people a sense of weakness, but she looked at these nails and nothing like Shuofeng.

Except for the occasional muffled grunt, the pace wasn't much slower than before.

"Yikes!" Hua Qiangu let out a painful sigh, but when he lifted his foot from the ground, he was relieved that he didn't see a wound or blood.

She knew that her blood would wilt the flowers and plants, and as she grew older, the function she regarded as blood poison became stronger, and if she bleed, the strange flowers and plants next to the stairs would suffer.

Finally, some people began to take the initiative to give up because they couldn't bear this torture.

However, this is still only a minority, and there are still more than 1,000 people still working hard to persist in the assessment.

And there have been no other traps for a long time, when everyone thought they had passed, Bai Zihua was not, in his opinion, Ye Zhen must have a backhand.

However, Ye Zhen made a move, but when Shuo Feng was struggling to climb the last step, his fingers lightly touched the sand table, and the steps he was about to take stopped instantly.

The cold eyes became blank, but after the tea effort, they resumed their taste, took one step, and finally climbed the ladder when it was dark!

At this time, Ye Zhen and the three of them are no longer at this time, and it is Yun Yin who is waiting for him.

"Congratulations, junior brother, as the first person to climb the ladder and still in hard mode, even if he doesn't pass the final test, he will still be a disciple of the inner sect of Shu Mountain," Yun Yin said with a smile.

"Thank you, senior brother" Shuo Feng bowed to Yun Yin, but the temperament of the whole person has changed a lot and has become less cold.

The biggest difference between Hardmode and Normal Mode is that when Hardmode is about to climb the ladder, it will try its best to be a nightmare illusion.

If you can get through it safely, it is definitely a breakthrough in both physical and mental aspects, and if you can't get through, you will always fall into an illusion and can't extricate yourself.

However, the girl in white also stood at the place where Shuofeng had paused, and she was the second person to choose Hardmode, and she was also being put to the test.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spit out, and the white girl's eyes gradually cleared, and when she understood that everything she had experienced before was an illusion, Shangjia's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes were tender like water, and she didn't know what kind of illusion she had experienced.

"Tang Guo meets Senior Brother," the girl in white saluted Yun Yin.

"Senior sister, congratulations, if you pass the last assessment again, you can choose which elder to worship as your teacher" Yun Yin smiled, he naturally would not be envious, because his master is the head of the Qingxu Dao, although his strength cannot be compared with the master, but he is also the second strongest person in Shushan.

Those who pass the assessment will have to wait at this ashram until there is no one left on the ladder before they can take the final assessment, during which they can not run around but can meditate cross-legged to recover their physical fitness.

One after another, more and more people climbed the ladder, but except for Shuofeng and Candy, all the others who chose the difficult difficulty failed.

Until the next day, when the sky was about to dawn, as the eleventh person to climb the last step, Hua Qiangu's eyes suddenly fell into a daze.

Yun Yin was slightly stunned, and glanced at the list in his hand, "This flower Qiangu obviously chose ordinary difficulty, why would he still experience the illusion?" ”

Yun Yin subconsciously looked in the direction of the back mountain, and he knew that this illusion was created by the head of the sect himself.

Although Yun Yun is honest, she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, so she naturally will not tell this matter, even if she is curious in her heart.

......

"Where am I?" Hua Qiangu looked at the familiar village in front of him and was a little puzzled: "Am I not participating in the Shushan apprenticeship assessment?" How did it suddenly appear here? ”

"What are you doing, aren't you hungry?" Ye Zhen looked sideways.

Quickly catching up with Ye Zhen, Hua Qiangu said suspiciously, "Brother Ye, isn't Xiao Gu participating in the Shushan assessment?" Why did they appear here with Brother Ye? ”

"Don't dream, there's a village in front, let's rest and go" Ye Zhen whispered.

Hua Qiangu's little hands scratched his head, and his eyes were full of doubts about life.

Standing at the entrance of the village, looking at the smoke curling in the village, children playing, and the harmonious picture of women weaving, I couldn't help but say:

"It's so peaceful here, it's the same as Lotus Village"

"Let's go," Ye Zhen whispered.

But as soon as the words fell, before he could take a step, the wolf smoke came from the other side of the village, and when he looked closely, he saw that those people were each riding horses, holding big knives and covering their faces.

"Brother Ye! It's a horse thief! ”

Ye Zhen didn't speak, and watched indifferently as those horse thieves rushed into the village and then went on a killing spree, not even letting go of the children, and directly cut them in two, and the women... It is when the street is indescribable.

"Brother Ye, hurry up and save these villagers!" Hua Qiangu's tears were about to come out.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen stepped out, and the two came to the village, blocking the way of these horse thieves.

The smell of blood was so thick that it was disgusting, the woman's miserable scream, and the man's angry roar, a horse thief threw the blood-stained sword in his hand at Ye Zhen.

The right hand behind him was raised, and pointed at the sword, the void slashed, the Dao sword qi was raging, and every time he slid, there would be a horse thief without a head.

"Swordsmanship, he's an immortal!"

"Immortals, spare your life, immortals!"

"We know it's wrong, please let me go, I'm eighty years old..."

For a moment, all the remaining horse thieves knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"O immortals! Please, kill these beasts," the villagers begged as they knelt on the ground.

Ye Zhen nodded slightly, and raised his right hand in the desperate gaze of the horse thief.

"Brother Ye, wait a minute!"

Hua Qiangu suddenly stepped forward and blocked in front of Ye Zhen.

"You want me to get around these horse thieves?" Ye Zhen looked at Hua Qiangu with interest.

"Brother Ye, Xiao Gu knows that these horse thieves are extremely evil, but they already know that they are wrong, if they can repent, it is better not to kill in vain" Hua Qiangu said in a weak voice, although she didn't think much about these horse thieves, but the pleading and despair in the eyes of these horse thieves made her feel compassion.
