When Xu Chen pushed open the closed tower door, the whole person was stunned.

There was no transfiguration in front of him, and what he saw was a pagoda structure similar to the third layer.

In the center of the tower, a middle-aged woman in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged on the ground, her body tightly wrapped around her with a pair of white wings behind her.

"You're finally here, lad. Qu Ru stood up with a smile, and Xu Chen found that the monster's face was whiter than snow jade, but the hand holding the dust was as green as jade.

"Great Immortal, please advise!" Xu Chen set up the shelf, although there were only two tests behind, but the opponent he encountered could only be stronger and stronger, so Xu Chen didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness in his heart.

Qu Ru said: "Poor Dao cultivates the wood spells among the five elements. In nearly 1,000 years of practice, I have slowly come to understand the truth of the universe, and I have come to understand that the unity of heaven and man and the growth of all things are just cyclical changes in impermanence, not the end. ”

Xu Chen was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself, why did he talk to me about philosophy before the fight started, could it be that he wanted to point me out the tricks of spell cultivation?

Just when he was muttering in his heart, Qu Ru said again: "Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs." It is precisely because of the natural mercy of Heaven that we should respect it under its care. Therefore, no matter what kind of battle it is, it will contain a strong smell of blood, and Poor Dao will try to avoid it. ”

Xu Chen frowned and said, "Does Daxian mean not to compete with me?"

"Although I will not fight with you, Mr. Song's entrustment will also be fulfilled, so the test of Poor Dao will take another way. ”

"Dare to ask Daxian, in what way are you going to test me?"

A thick white mist began to rise inside the tower, and Qu Ru's figure slowly retreated in the fog. As the fog became thicker and thicker, Xu Chen found that he couldn't even see the outline of an object a foot away.

"Hehe, do you want to trap me with this kind of little trick?" Xu Chen laughed, and between the waves of his hands, countless true qi burst out from his palms, drifting in all directions like a breeze.

He gently closed his eyes and began to sense the flow trajectory of these true qis, so as to correctly judge the direction leading to the top layer.

But the final result disappointed him, and Xu Chen found that his True Qi was hindered and unable to move forward soon after he found that those True Qi floated out. It's a strange feeling, as if you're in a transparent cage and can't perceive any information from the outside world.

Just when Xu Chen was hesitating in his heart, Qu Ru's delicate voice came from an undiscernible direction. "This is the Qimen Bagua Array set up by the poor road, which is divided into life, injury, rest, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening eight doors according to Dunjia, and only one of them is the way out of the maze. You must make the right choice to get out of the formation in order to pass the test of the poor road. ”

Qimen Bagua Array, how could he even use the Art of War formation? It was just a moment of hesitation, and Xu Chen came to his senses.

He thought to himself, since there are eight gates, this demon array must be set up according to the principle of yin and yang gossip, according to the hexagram, the eight doors have their own belonging to the five elements, open, rest, and life are the three auspicious gates, death, shock, and injury are the three fierce gates, and the other two Du Men and Jingmen are Zhongping.

Xu Chen knew that the three directions of the murderous gate were absolutely impossible to enter, and the road to Zhongping was probably not a good choice, so there was only one possibility left, and the correct path could only be in one of the three directions of opening, resting, and living.

But the white fog in front of him is vast, how can he tell the direction, let alone find this so-called birth door. Xu Chen had no choice but to grope his way forward, but there was only mist in his eyes, and no objects or scenes came into view, and he found himself lost in the thick fog.

I only have more than two hours left, if I continue to grind like this, then I will really be eliminated from the competition! Xu Chen was suddenly shocked, he bit his teeth, and pushed out with both hands.

Suddenly, a large amount of true qi surged out, turning into sharp arrows and shooting in all directions, Xu Chen wanted to forcibly disperse the dense fog in front of him and let the right path appear in front of him.

For a while, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls was endless, and the surrounding area was flying sand and rocks, and the dense fog produced a strange scene under the agitation of Xu Chen's true qi.

Then Xu Chen's feet shone with golden light, and a gossip figure suddenly appeared on the ground, it kept spinning, and Xu Chen found himself standing in the center of the hexagram.

At this moment, Xu Chen was ecstatic, because the hexagram appeared, which allowed him to easily identify the direction of the birth gate.

Shengmen belongs to the earth in the five elements and lives in the northeast Gen Palace. Among the eight gates, it means that the yang energy is turned around, and all things are born in the earth, so the ancients named it Shengmen, and regarded it as the hexagram of great luck.

But Xu Chen also became a little smarter, he didn't rush towards the northeast, but swung a punch, causing the true qi to condense into an ice hammer and smash it straight in the direction of Shengmen.

After the sound of "boom", eight golden gates appeared out of thin air around Xu Chen, and each door had a large vermilion font on it.

Xu Chen took a closer look and found that the words written on these doors were life, injury, rest, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening.

Xu Chen, who was excited, confirmed the door with the words written on it again, and found that it was indeed in the northeast direction of the hexagram. In this way, it is a fake life!

"Let me disappear!" A flash of arc light suddenly appeared in Xu Chen's raised palm, and it slashed towards the living door with an incomparably sharp qi blade.

Suddenly a thunderous explosion exploded, all eight doors disappeared, and a road appeared in the thick fog to the northeast.

It seemed that Qu Ru was about to pass this level, and Xu Chen ran towards the trail with joy.

As soon as Xu Chen's feet stepped on this path, the scene in front of him changed again, the thick fog suddenly dissipated, and a single-plank bridge appeared in his eyes, under the bridge was an abyss, and in the middle of the abyss was a big river, and its water was as black as ink.

Looking back, there was a thick fog behind him blocking the direction when he came, Xu Chen knew that he couldn't turn back, but he didn't dare to walk on this single-plank bridge rashly, because he suddenly found that the environment here was too strange, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, and he couldn't hear any sound, obviously there was a cold wind blowing in his ears, but he couldn't hear a trace of wind.

But you can't wait here, otherwise time will slowly consume, and eventually lead to your failure in the test and forcibly withdraw from the Yin and Yang Five Elements Tower. Xu Chen looked around and found that there was no other road here except this bridge, so he had to raise his legs and walk towards this single-plank bridge.

After only a few steps on the bridge, Xu Chen noticed that there was an unknown danger behind him, he hurriedly turned around and looked back, only to find that there was a huge rock in the air smashed straight towards his body!

Xu Chen secretly screamed badly, and ran forward with all his might, and the boulder fell where he was standing just now, turning into a pile of small stones.

But the matter did not end with Xu Chen's successful escape, and then a boulder fell in the sky behind him. Xu Chen had no choice but to keep running forward in order to avoid these boulders falling from the sky and not let himself be harmed.

This frightened Xu Chen, because he discovered a greater danger in the process of running. That is, as the boulders fell one after another, the bridge deck behind him also collapsed accordingly, and he had no way back.

There is also a phenomenon that cannot be explained by common sense at all, that is, whether the boulder falls to the ground or the bridge deck collapses, there is no sound, they are all carried out in silence, which makes Xu Chen feel extremely shocked and frightened in his heart.

What kind of world is this, even if it is Hell Yellow Spring, at least you can hear the wailing of ghosts, but this place is completely dead and silent, even if you die here, you must not make any sound, right?

Xu Chen began to regret stepping on this single-plank bridge that exuded a terrifying and strange aura, although he was still running, his eyes were already looking in both directions.

The big river under the bridge seems to run through the whole world, except that Xu Chen can no longer see the scenery outside the river, the river water is frozen like ice, but this description is not appropriate, because the river turns up some white flowers from time to time.

When Xu Chen saw these white things clearly, he couldn't help but be taken aback again, because they were all human bones, and when these bones sank into the river, the skeletons began to split, shattering into several pieces and disappearing into Xu Chen's sight.

The dark river surface is flooded with chilling light from time to time, and Xu Chen, who is running for his life, has slowly noticed the reason for the flickering light, which is all caused by the reflection of the sharp blades that emerge from the river, they appear and disappear in the river, there is no doubt that the river is full of deadly blades, as long as you fall into the river, you will immediately die with ten thousand arrows through the heart.

All of this strongly implies that Xu Chen can only survive if he walks across this bridge safely.

Looking up, there was only a few tens of zhang away to reach the other side, Xu Chen's confidence suddenly increased, and he hurriedly ran forward at an almost lightning speed.

The boulder behind him was still falling, and the bridge deck was collapsing as always, but Xu Chen felt that his heart was falling into the abyss little by little.

It didn't seem like a long distance, Xu Chen found that he couldn't run to the end, and he was about to approach the other end of the bridge, but Xu Chen just couldn't successfully reach the other side.

In this way, in the helpless running, the bridgehead was always only a few dozen zhang away from him in his eyes, but Xu Chen was always running on the bridge, as if the end of this road had never existed.

Could it be that this is an illusion created by Qu Ru? Xu Chen finally ran impatiently, he swung his fist and blasted forward as he ran, and after the edge, there was no change in front of him.

Xu Chen didn't believe in evil and waved his fists to bombard forward in turn, but everything he did was useless. On the contrary, in the process of a large amount of true qi consumption, the physical strength gradually became exhausted, causing the speed of running to slow down.

The falling stones above his head also kept up with his slowed pace and smashed heavily on Xu Chen's back.

Xu Chen only felt a tightness in his chest, his feet suddenly stepped into the air, and his body fell straight towards the abyss below!
