Chapter 44: Why
Hearing Zheng Xie's words, a subtle expression appeared on the hideous and evil face of this stone carving:
"What, you want to give up the fight for this creation?"
Zheng Xie shook his head again:
"Not really. ”
At this moment, the stone carving who was in charge of guarding the gate was a little confused, but soon, Zheng Xie revealed his true purpose.
"If I'm right...... After the challenger has shown what it takes to meet the requirements, you need to be released and ...... Guaranteed that the challenger is at the top of his game, right?"
Zheng Xie said word by word.
The complexion of the stone carving does not change:
"How did you guess?"
Zheng Xie lowered his head and smiled:
"Originally, you didn't take the initiative to attack in this stone room, which means that we didn't trigger the elements of your duties, that is, you must take the initiative to attack you or try to pass through the stone gate before you can be identified as a challenger. ”
"And when you have the strength to abuse me, you only play to the extent that you can suppress me, which proves in disguise that your duty is mainly a test. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Xie took a deep breath and showed a rather comfortable look:
"Besides, after being treated by you, I can feel that all my forms are maintained at a peak that is difficult to achieve, and in connection with what you said before, it is obvious that this is to allow all those who can pass the test to have relatively fair playing conditions. ”
The stone carving neither denies nor admits:
"What do you want to say?"
Zheng Xie smiled:
"I think so...... Isn't it a waste to use such a good condition just once?"
Ji Sanqian, who had been standing and watching the development of things, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to step forward to persuade Zheng Xie, he watched the latter laugh and rush towards the stone carving.
This time, Zheng Xie did not explode with all his strength again, but he also used most of his strength, and at the same time, his whole body was on guard, always vigilant for the reaction of the stone carving.
In the face of Zheng Xie's attack, the stone sculpture was just a simple dodge, and then it blasted out with a precise punch, taking advantage of Zheng Xie's difficulty in twisting his body, and directly hit him in the chest, causing Zheng Xie to fly sideways and hit the stone wall hard.
Zheng Xie only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost lost consciousness directly, and after being hit by a punch from the stone carving, he fell to the ground softly, leaving only a faint sound of breathing.
"This ......"
Ji Sanqian was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"It looks normal, but I didn't expect it to be a madman......"
The stone sculpture shook his head, and the cyan flames in his eyes flew out again, enveloping Zheng Xie as before, and began to heal the injuries on his body.
At the same time, the stone carving turned his head and looked at Ji Sanqian with two pitch-black eyes:
"You go in first, I guess he's going to have a long time to play. ”
Ji Sanqian was stunned:
"Can I go in too?"
The stone carving didn't pay attention to Ji Sanqian anymore, but looked at Zheng Xie who fell to the ground:
"Do you want to continue?"
Zheng Xie slowly got up from the ground, and an excited smile rose on the corner of his mouth:
"Why not?"
Seeing this, Ji Sanqian hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the stone gate behind the stone carving.
Seeing that Ji Sanqian pushed open the stone door so unharmed and walked into the darkness behind the stone gate, Zheng Xie squinted his eyes slightly, but he didn't ask anything, just turned to the stone sculpture on the opposite side and licked the corners of his mouth:
"Come again!"
............
In another stone chamber that looked indistinguishable from the stone chamber where Zheng Xie was, a group of men and women were gathering to discuss something.
The boys and girls were all dressed in the same white uniform with the same symbol on it, apparently from the same force.
The first of them is a girl with an extremely outstanding appearance, whose eyes are dotted with turquoise color, like a sky full of stars, and her facial features are soft and resolute, as if she has undergone a lot of tempering, and it is difficult to erase it from memory at a glance.
"Senior Sister Ye, we seem to have gotten out of the lost realm that Master Zun said......"
An older young man looked around and came to this conclusion.
Although in terms of seniority, the senior sister Ye in front of her should have the lowest status, but the praise of the "thousand-year-old posture" given to her by the head of the family alone is enough to make everyone present bow down.
It is said that this junior sister surnamed Ye comes from an extremely large tribe, and the entire Dongbai can be called a behemoth-level existence, as long as she returns to the tribe, she can ascend to the sky in one step.
Before she showed her strength, not many people had paid attention to this girl, but when she easily defeated the other seven sects in a large competition of eight sects, her name spread all over the surrounding cities.
As disciples of the Rain Sword Sect, they knew very well that their small temple would not be able to retain this kind of Tengyun generation, so they were not too jealous of this Tianjiao who had not been in the sect long but had received countless attention.
After all, the gap is too great, and the difference is enough to turn those ridiculous jealousies into envy.
"Haven't we already arrived at the Tomb of the Corpse King?"
Ye Ying muttered to herself, and then looked at the stone sculpture in front of the stone door.
This stone sculpture is exactly the same as the stone sculpture that is fighting Zheng Xie, and even the annoying voice is the same:
"I don't advise you to continue to procrastinate, because there is already a kid who has obtained the qualification to pass through the stone gate, if you slow down a little longer, this creation will be ......."
Speaking of this, the stone carving's voice stopped abruptly, and then said in a strange tone:
"Forget it, when I didn't say ......"
Several people looked at each other, not understanding what the stone sculpture was saying.
"I don't know what you mean, but ...... As long as we defeat you, it's over, right?"
Ye Ying drew his thin sword, and a rich spiritual energy vortex began to be generated around his body.
The stone carving made a "please" gesture:
"Just try it. ”
The blue in Ye Ying's eyes seemed to become brighter:
"Naturally, I'll try. ”
............
When Zheng Xie was violently knocked to the ground by the stone sculpture for the sixteenth time, Zheng Xie's smile became brighter and brighter. Because this time, the stone carving finally couldn't crush him as neatly as before.
The sheep's head stone carving looked at Zheng Xie very strangely:
"I really can't understand that others are eager to get one step closer to my Lord's creation, but you have been stagnant, and even seem to be addicted to being abused......"
Zheng Xie spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and said with a smile:
"First of all, I'm not standing still. ”
Under the shroud of cyan flames, Zheng Xie slowly stood up:
"Secondly, I am not obsessed with being abused, but I am obsessed with being one step closer to the extreme. ”
This time, the stone carving's face finally began to fluctuate a little.
Zheng Xie wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, revealing an expected look:
"I've been wondering how you know about the other monks at the same time, but I soon realized that you might be in countless stone chambers like this one at the same time, facing different monks. ”
"Since your lord has set the meaning of your existence to be a test, and the standard is that you can be respected in the same realm, then when you face challengers with different strengths, what you show should be the ultimate strength in that realm. ”
Zheng Xie took a deep breath for a while, and then continued:
"I don't know how this was done, but after my temptation, the strength you have shown has always been within a range, although terrifying. ”
"That kind of explosiveness, fighting awareness, obviously not your limit, then there is only one possibility - you will adjust your realm according to the realm of the challenger. ”
The cyan flame in the stone carving's eyes was still there, but it seemed to have become a little more solemn:
"That's what you're for......"
Zheng Xie smiled very proudly:
"Exactly...... It's a very tempting thing to go one step closer to the extreme......"
The stone carving also laughed:
"Now that you've guessed it, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm just a shoddy product, and your so-called 'extreme' is only relative. Truly the ultimate ...... You'll see that later. ”
Zheng Xie shrugged his shoulders noncommittally:
"I probably realized that, after all, your test standard is not high, how can it be the real extreme...... But you have to make good use of this unique condition, don't you?"
The stone carving carefully examined Zheng Xie before he spoke:
"It's only been more than ten battles, and you're already so close to my boundary......"
Zheng Xie scratched his head and said unashamedly:
"As expected, there's not much to say. ”
The stone carving did not mock Zheng Xie, but said calmly:
"Ready to go in?"
Zheng Xie stretched his waist, and his muscles crackled:
"The goal is almost achieved, you have to find someone to practice your hands, right? Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the injuries I suffered?"
Hearing this, the stone carving nodded slightly:
"Hurry up, there are already many people like you who have passed the test and are on the way to the battle for creation. ”
Zheng Xie didn't seem to care, but walked slowly towards the stone gate:
"It's so stressful~ It sounds like I'm going to meet a group of monsters respected in the same realm~"
The moment he walked in front of the stone gate, Zheng Xie suddenly stopped.
"I still want to know...... Why didn't you test him?"
The stone carving naturally knew who Zheng Xie was referring to, so he also gave a very brief reply:
"There's no need. ”
Zheng Xie raised his eyebrows and thoughtfully pushed open the stone door.
