Chapter 18: The Phantom Path: One Step to the Sky

Looking at the small and delicate golden round shield in his hand, Mo Wen's mood was very entangled.

"Immortal Guardian: A Seven-Star Artifact that can give a life whose strength does not exceed the Seven Stars a chance to be reborn - the manifestation of immortal power hides the secret of Roshan's undefeat." (Special items can be taken with you and can be taken out of the battlefield, but they cannot be used in this tournament.) )

By heart, this shield is an artifact for all travelers at this stage - it can give you an extra life, after all.

But Mo Wen would rather it not be brought out of the battlefield, and can only be used in this battle...... If there is one more life, the probability of Mo Wen succeeding in capturing the crown of the strongest person will increase a lot.

Big or small, every man has the ambition to dominate the world in his heart, and Mo Wen is no exception.

[It is useless to think too much, and it is vain to confuse the mind. We had been delayed too much time with those guys in this level of Roshan before, and the others were probably already quite ahead of us. Mo Wen left the small regret in his heart behind.

The darkness cleared, and the eyes were covered in silver.

Mo Wen came to the snowy mountainside, and looked up, a simple stone platform was located on the top of the snowy mountain, and occasionally there was a strong aura from it.

Apparently, more than one traveler has already arrived at the waypoint and is handing it over.

[It's chaos again...... It's okay to fish in troubled waters, each by his own means. Don't ask to squint and gallop.

Three seconds later, Zeus appeared on the other side of the snow-capped mountainside, and the Thunder King briefly observed his surroundings, and then turned into a thunderbolt and shot straight at the top of the mountain.

……

On the high platform, three legs stand up.

"Assassin over there, let's get rid of this pervert first." The firmament was the first to speak.

"This friend, don't listen to him provoke, wouldn't it be better for you to sit back and watch the two of us lose?" Long Aotian was not in a hurry or impatient, and persuaded him gently.

"Falling into each other's hearts and intrigues...... Are you Chinese like this? A vague shadow loomed.

"In order to win, it is natural to go all out." Cangqiong smiled freely: "Let's open it, if I am in a complete state, I still have a chance of winning against the person in front of me, but because of the previous battle, I am not in a very good state now, and the victory against him is almost zero, if you stand by and stay out of the matter, the next disqualified person after I leave the field is you!" ”

"That's a ...... mistake" Long Aotian's eyes flashed: "The golden shield that you snatched with the near-death blow of the Doomsday Crystal is an extraordinary thing, I think it can help your injuries a lot." ”

Hearing this, the firmament shook his head and smiled bitterly, and took out the "Immortal Guardian": "Good things are good things, but I can't use them now...... Assassin, now that the situation is like this, what are your options? ”

After looking at the attributes of the Immortal Guardian, Long Aotai fell silent along with the swaying shadow.

"Even so...... You definitely have other means as well. After a while, Long Aotian said softly.

"Which of us don't have a trick or two?" The sky said calmly: "But if the time comes, which one will easily use this trick?" Now I'm out of the game, even though I have my cards...... Don't you? ”

"It's not like the sky I know to belittle myself like this."

"Just tell the truth."

“…… Don't talk nonsense, I don't need you to remind me what to do! The shadow's voice was irritated. If you want to fight, don't get in the way of me watching the show! ”

"Watching the play...... Boy, aren't you afraid that the two of us will join forces to kill you first? The sky bared its teeth at the shadow.

"Come on? A giant in words, a dwarf in action! ”

……

Tension, just not fighting—this is the scene that Mo Wen saw when he came to the stone platform.

Mo Wen was still a little puzzled when he first saw this scene, but when he noticed the row of apertures on the edge of the stone platform, he understood why these guys were confronting each other here.

"Phantom Path: This is the only way to the Sky Arena, and there are two ways to use it: 1. The Road to the Heavens: Ten minutes after entering this circle, you will be teleported to the Sky Arena. Note! During the teleportation process, the teleportee is in an unconscious state and the teleportation process must not be disturbed, otherwise the teleportation will fail! 2. Guardian Path: At the cost of not being able to leave the stone platform, turn a magic circle area into an invincible state, and no one can interfere with things in the invincible area before you are disqualified or leave the stone platform. Note! Each path activated will notify all surviving participants who have not stepped into the Phantom Path. (Red flower or green leaf?) It's all come to this point, are you willing? )

[It's all come to this, which guys are willing to be foils? Mo Wen shook his head. [Then the only way out is to kill all the opponents around you.] 】

"There's another one...... Hey, still acquaintances! The sky smiled unscrupulously.

[Don't ask...... Why wasn't Xin'er coming? However, with Xin'er's combat power, it is estimated that she has already withdrawn. Long Aotian shook his head secretly. [The situation is getting more and more chaotic. 】

[Since it is a melee, there must be a breakthrough point...... Well, don't worry, you have to know that there are two guys behind me who have just been tricked, and I can't let them fight. The balance has been broken, looking at the three people who are about to make a move, Mo Wen turned his mind and said, "You don't have to rush to do it, I'm not the last one." ”

"You're being chased?" Long Aotian quickly reacted.

"Hehe, it takes ten minutes for the boss to be resurrected, and I don't know how many people are behind it......" Mo asked the spreader: "How is it?" Do you continue to fight? ”

"Would you be so kind?" The sky narrowed its eyes.

"You're going to allow me to stay out of the fight?" Mo asked rhetorically.

"Hint: One traveler is disqualified, and there are currently fourteen participants remaining."

[Is the spearman hanging?] It's worthy of lucky E......] The full-picture announcement that sounded at the right time made the three people who were about to make a big move finally let go of their plans to fight, but before the atmosphere eased for a while, a bright purple thunderbolt rushed onto the stone platform.

Zeus enters.

……

Pitch-black smoke was constantly rising from the billowing lava, and the smell of saltpeter was permeating the stone platform.

On the stone platform, two groups of travelers who arrived at the same time confronted each other in the distance.

"Hundred miles of red dust, no injury brother...... How about we get rid of these foreigners first? I promise that we won't disturb you two on your way to the heavens. "After reading the hints of the Phantom Road, Wu Huang beamed into a line.

"Yes." The swordsman nodded slightly.

"Whatever you want." The luthier shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Are you ready?" Through the magic item, Wright's voice sounded in the hearts of all his teammates: "The first target is the Oriental mage with the white beard, followed by the young man who carries the harp, and Merlin, watch your own safety, Miria, you and Merlin use spells to cover Cassilian." ”

"That's not right! That Whitebeard has already started chanting incantations! The young and handsome blonde magician suddenly raised his staff, and a series of large fireballs shot straight into Taishang.

Boom!

Wu Huang swept with a halberd, and slapped those few magical flames into sparks in the sky.

"Taixuan No Phase Array!" The Taoist priest has his hair open, his feet are on the seven stars, the jade magic sword is shining brightly, and the vague gossip pattern flashes away on the dark red stone platform.

The Great War begins.

……

"Cunning Chinese......" Zeus stared at Mo Wen, his eyes flashing with anger.

"Hey, hey, if you lose, you say cunning? If you can't afford it, don't come here. In the face of the aggressive Zeus, Mo Wen looked disdainful and carried out the taunt to the end.

"How long can you be proud?" Thor's eyes flashed with electricity.

"Just you?" Mo Wen squinted, holding the sword in his hand.

"Hey, hey! These two guys are going to fight...... Don't ask that guy to be alone, maybe he doesn't care about the number one name in the world that day, but that guy named Zeus is the leader of an organization, he shouldn't be so impulsive. The sky sent a message to Long Aotian: "How about it, if the two of them fight, how about we send that hooked nose out of the game first?" ”

"You're so confident that Mo Wen will be on your side?" Long Aotian's expression moved.

"I just don't like that guy." The sky snorted haha.

……

The purple gold halberd and the stainless steel war hammer were pressed together, and through the bursts of sparks rubbed by the two weapons, Wu Huang and Wright's eyes collided.

One side is as pure as water, quiet and deep, like the vast deep sea.

The aggression of one side is like a fire, raging and blazing, as if it wants to burn the whole world to the ground.

For! Bite!

Wu Huang was pushed away, and the knight, who had regained the space to cast, pulled out the cross sword hanging from his waist with his backhand, and slashed at the side, which had almost forced Cassilian to a dead end.

But it was easily held up by the swordsman.

"Dare to be distracted?!" Wu Huang was furious, and the halberd was hooked, and the knight's war hammer was twisted into two sections, and Wu Huang, who took advantage of the weapon, was unforgiving, and a domineering sweep completely blocked all the knights' retreats.

Boom!

Wright, shrouded in golden light, flew upside down.

"No, if we go on like this, the regiment commander will be dragged to death by us!" The swordsman, who had gained a respite from Ai Wuxian's men, spoke to his teammates through magic items. "Use that trick! The head of the regiment came to the point and said that I suggested it. ”

"Don't underestimate people! Unqualified cannon fodder! The great magician who fought with Taishang waved his hand: "Let's start!" ”

Hearing this, the swordsman retreated sharply, blocking in front of the Dragonborn Warlock and the Grand Mage, and then the raging fire of life instantly completely surrounded the bodies of the three of them.

"Trinity!"

"No!"

……

Thunder snaked along the golden scepter, and Zeus's eyes were filled with indifference like a god.

A faint aura floated on the cloud shadow blade, and Mo Wen lowered his sword and smiled, like a mist in the mountains, flowing clouds on the horizon, formless and impermanent.

The two confronted each other, and their momentum slowly climbed.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey!"

Just when the momentum of Mo Wen and Zeus was about to reach its peak and the battle was about to break out, a hateful voice sounded, and at the same time, a dark red figure attacked Mo Wen from the side of the stage.

Zeus would definitely not give up such a good opportunity, and the furious thunder rushed head-on to the monk not far away.

Boom! Boom!

The thunder burst and the aura scattered.

In the face of Zeus's menacing blow, Mo Wen did not dodge or dodge, and shattered the thunder with a spirit gathering sword qi. On the other side, Cyril was stopped by Long Aotian, and the two fought in a hurry, and the result was that the vampire was reflexively punched to the edge of the stone platform by Long Aotian.

Neither the firmament nor the Assassins struck.

"Bastard! You lowly yellow-skinned monkeys!! A disgraced Cyril wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Filthy racist...... The previous blood debt, it's time to settle it! Long Aotian clenched his fists. I'm going to teach you an etiquette lesson for your irresponsible parents! ”

"You're damned!" The vampire roared, and a large number of blood-condensed bats rose into the air.

"Don't ask, let's kill this guy together first." The firmament said to the monk, "This guy is so cheap! ”

"No problem...... But somebody doesn't want me to do that. Mo Wen stared at Zeus tightly and replied softly.

"Two against one, something is not good." A vague shadow suddenly stopped in front of the firmament. "No matter how annoying he is, he was once my companion."

……

"Ahem...... Do I still have a breath of air? However, it won't last a while...... "Miria fell to her knees on one knee, her towering chest rising and falling violently, and beside her, the great mage and swordsman had fallen to the ground, slowly turning into white light.

The Trinity Spell, developed by the great mage Merlin, can unite all the powers of everyone who activates the magic circle into a powerful arcane art, and the attack effect is similar to the collision of the source of life, and the lethality is amazing and indefensible. But because of this, the caster will also be subjected to a very strong recoil while attacking the enemy, and because all the caster's strength is knocked out at this time, the body is empty, and it is difficult to resist this recoil force with its own vitality alone, and as a result, nine times out of ten, both parties will be killed.

This makes this spell a useless chicken rib in peacetime battles - when you encounter someone who is stronger than you or not much different from you, you can choose a more effective way to fight for your life, and you don't have to use this method of killing a thousand people and inflicting eight hundred self-damage when you meet someone weaker than you, and the only advantage it has over other fatal tricks is estimated to be the abnormal hit rate that is high because of its attack pattern.

But what about the empty hit rate? If the enemy is wounded but does not die, it is useless.

However, this trick came in handy here, in the face of the blow of the three of them, Wu Huang and the four of them really had no way to avoid it, so they could only take it hard.

In the end, Ai Wushu and Taixu were killed on the spot, Baili Hongchen completely lost his mobility, and he went in and out of the city, and Wu Huang was also injured - this was still the result of Taishang's sacrifice of his life.

On the other side, only Miria, who is a dragonborn warlock, survived with her innate strong vitality, but she was also unable to participate in the battle.

[At a disadvantage, decisively redeem the child in order to win...... What a good means! Holding the halberd, Wu Huang's gaze was still as sharp as a knife.

"Miria!" The knight helped the dying Dragonborn Warlock. "You ......"

"Wright, you must win......" The blonde slowly closed her eyes.

……

"Hint: One traveler is disqualified, and there are currently eight participants remaining."

[Those guys are really desperate......] Mo Wen, who was fighting with Zeus, had a bad feeling in his heart. [There are eight people left, and there are six here, and no one is on stage...... We are still consuming temptations, and the king has already seen the king on the other side. 】

[The only ones who really killed were Long Aotian and the foul-mouthed vampire. Glancing at the battlefield on the side, Mo Wen Edgeworth blocked another wave of thunder. [Can't wait any longer! The guy over there could embark on the road to heaven at any time, and then we would have to hand over our cards and fight hard...... Let's start first! 】

After making up his mind, Mo Wen split the entangled thunder snake with a sword, and then retreated sharply, preparing to perform a large-scale immortal technique. However, during the retreat, Mo Wen found that Zeus did not pursue, but raised his staff to charge his strength, obviously trying to amplify his moves.

Not far away, the sky stopped playing hide-and-seek with the shadow, and the two men began to collide violently—the assassin wielded two giant blades as tall as a man, slashing left and right like a mad dog.

The sky is no better, this thing has found a Zhanger Daguan knife out of nowhere, dancing tiger and tiger, entangled with the assassin.

[Really...... What a pompous acting skill, are these two bastards really stupid when we are? Mo Wen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he secretly expanded the coverage of the spell, enveloping the two pretending guys.

However, it was not Mo Wen who was the first to fire the map cannon.

"Bloody Hell!"

Rolling sideways, embarrassedly dodging Long Aotian's heavy punch, the blonde vampire roared wildly and opened his arms, and countless scarlet blood thorns with a pale golden light shot in all directions with him as the center, as if killing Brother A in the original form: thousands of tentacles, ending everything.

“…… Gloomy! In the face of such a large-scale indiscriminate attack, Mo Wen had no choice but to release the spell that had not yet been charged.

“…… Thor's Fury! Not to be outdone, Zeus swept the entire stone platform with three thunder dragons.

……

[After all his efforts, he only got a left-handed ......] Wu Huang fell headlong on the warm stone slab, his eyes were dazed. [There are people with lives on his side, and I also have the courage of ten thousand people, and the strength and power are all inferior, and it is normal to lose......]

[Wright. Justis ...... I remember the name! One day......] will no longer be able to support the dying body, and Wu Huang stopped breathing.

Briefly healing his bare left hand and the hideous wound under his ribs, Wright strode into the path of illusion.

"Hint! The knight has stepped into the path to heaven! ”

……

The blood thorns shattered, the wind and snow faded, and the thunder faded.

The stone platform was in shambles, and after a big bombardment, except for the still vague Assassin, the other travelers were more or less injured...... The worst of them was Cyril, who was already torn apart by this time, and only the head connected to his right chest was still intact - Long Aotian relied on his powerful body protection technique to bully the vampire who had been broken by the magnification move in the chaotic moment just now, and a nuclear fusion fist was firmly imprinted on his stomach.

As a result, Cyril was blown to shreds in the sky.

But he still didn't die.

The lost limb quickly regenerated, and the naked vampire staggered, then quickly spat out a silver ring, took out a crystal bottle and drank it, the blood in the bottle was bright and agile, and it was obviously not extraordinary.

Long Aotian's old power has been exhausted, and the new power has not yet been born, Mo Wen has just finished his ultimate, the position of the sky is not good, and he is separated from Cyril by Zeus and the assassin, plus the lightning mage and the assassin have no intention of mending the knife, so that the extremely weak vampire successfully poured a bottle of blood into his stomach.

Then the breath like a candle in the wind instantly returned to normal.

[If you can't die, you can still swallow. Medicine, it's really a little strong...... This kraft candy is so annoying. Mo Wen, who saw this scene in his eyes, clenched the cloud shadow tightly.

【Legendary Space Ring...... It's really obscene for this guy to inlay this thing in flesh and blood. The sky smiled coldly at the vampire: "Gentleman with a bare ass, how does it feel to play naked running in front of thousands of travelers?" ”

"Bastard!" Hurriedly conjured up a set of blood-colored clothes and pants to cover the shame, Cyril gritted his teeth. "You lowly yellow-skinned monkeys......"

"Humph! You'll be able to play tricks on your mouth, too...... My 5,000-year-old Chinese history, how can you understand it as a foreign barbarian? The sky sneered: "What about being resilient?" Just a sandbag......"

"Hint: One traveler is disqualified, and there are currently seven participants remaining."

"Hint! The knight has stepped into the path to heaven! ”
