Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 149 Five-Story Demon Tower (9)
The cunning beast stood still like an eternal ice sculpture, and he always maintained a restrained flow of true qi, which was the best way for water spell cultivators, no matter how fierce and powerful the opponent's moves and spells were, it was impossible to have the advantages contained in water spells.
A cultivator who is good at using water spells is well aware of the mystery of the water element in the five elements, and its power does not lie in its fierceness, but in its continuous, long-lasting attack power. Like the drops of water falling from the eaves, its power seems so insignificant, but after many years, it can finally drip through the stones on the steps.
So the cunning beast has the capital of conceit, and he believes that if the battle continues, victory will be his own sooner or later.
Xu Chen didn't have the same mind as him, at this moment, he was already in shape, and then he flew over, and his fists smashed into the opponent like a hammer, refining the new power brought to him by the Void Realm, and was guiding Xu Chen to grope for turning it all into his own energy.
Seeing the astonishing momentum of his opponent, the cunning beast couldn't help but look at it, and in the face of this barrage of fists, he found that he was almost unable to dodge.
No matter how quickly his body dodged, it was still difficult to dodge the opponent's fist shadow, and the sharp fist wind swept past his face from time to time, and the feeling of a knife stabbing his skin was piercing.
In this situation, the cunning beast found itself with no choice. So he roared, and his palms flew in front of him.
The strength of the Void Refining Realm that he possessed had reached the top level, but the cunning beast did not expect that at this moment, under the pressure of the other party's momentum, it would become a little constrained.
"Boom!"
The giant hammer-like fists slammed into the stormy palm, and a powerful airflow fluctuation suddenly exploded, Xu Chen felt the strong pressure and rebounded instantly, and before he could return to block, the cunning beast had rushed to the front like a bamboo, and hit Xu Chen's chest with a palm.
At this dangerous moment, Xu Chen did not have the slightest look of panic in his eyes, but quickly regained his calm like ice and snow.
His body slightly avoided the vital point of his chest and abdomen, and when the opponent's palm was about to hit his body, his feet jumped out violently.
The cunning beast also moved at this time, he stomped on the ground with his legs, and jumped high, like a white practice attacking Xu Chen.
"Damn, I'm fighting with you!" Xu Chen saw that he was struggling and didn't run away, and swung his fists at the cunning beast.
The two collided with each other, and a shocking bang erupted. The aura between heaven and earth was stirring, and the furious true qi swept in all directions like a hurricane.
When everything fell silent, Xu Chen retreated more than a dozen steps, leaving cracked footprints on the ground along the way. On the other hand, the cunning beast stood in place, not moving at all!
"It's so strong!" Xu Chen suddenly experienced the difference in strength with the other party, and he gasped heavily.
"It seems that you have really cultivated to the same level as me, but you still don't understand the gap between me and you. ”
The cunning beast paused for a moment, and then continued: "Your name is Xu Chen, I remember this name, but there is no suspense in the next battle, because the one who loses can only be you." ”
"Don't talk big, we still have no victory!" Xu Chen roared angrily, and a giant sword condensed by water aura shot towards the cunning beast.
The cunning beast raised its arms violently to meet Xu Chen's attack.
"Boom, boom!" Two sounds, the true qi between the two palms of the cunning beast struck out violently, instantly causing Xu Chen's ice sword to collapse, turning into a little blue light and dissipating in the void.
"One thing I want to tell you, a cultivator who has just comprehended the Void Refining Realm has an unimaginable strength gap compared to a master who has been cultivating in the Void Refining Realm for hundreds of years!" The cunning beast's hands rose again, and the flowing true qi spread from between his fingers, as if the stars were twinkling in the night sky.
"Don't give me nonsense, I'll knock you down now!" Xu Chen once again mobilized the true qi of his whole body, preparing to launch a new attack on the cunning beast.
But then he was surprised to find that a chill came from between his legs, and his whole body was paralyzed.
When I looked down, I saw a spring gushing out of the ground around me, which condensed into ice as soon as it touched the soles of my feet, and then climbed upwards like fast-growing vines. There are more and more ice cubes on the surface of the thighs, and they are about to cross the knees.
"Although you can see the trajectory of my True Qi flowing, there is no way you can stop the power of its attack. This is because the speed at which you cast the spell is simply not fast enough, and by the time your brain reacts, my spell has already hit your body!" As he spoke, more water aura burst out from the cunning beast's hands.
But at this moment, the ice cubes that trapped Xu Chen's legs suddenly made a continuous popping sound.
"It's a gorgeous spell, but it's useless to me, a person who cultivates water-based spells like you!" Xu Chen roared, and his body regained its freedom.
The cunning beast didn't expect that his skill of trapping the enemy would be easily broken, which was a big blow to him, who had always been arrogant.
"Eat me with a punch!" Xu Chen struggled towards the cunning beast, and a powerful whirlwind swept up, and the cunning beast was blown a little unsteady on its feet without defense, and retreated several steps in a row.
"Do you really think you can match me?" the cunning beast roared unwillingly, and his hands increased his strength.
This time, not only was the true qi bursting out wildly, but the wind and snow flying all over the sky were also becoming more and more intense.
The ice cube spread from under Xu Chen's feet again, quickly enveloping his whole body. The speed of this attack was too fast, Xu Chen was swallowed up by the ice cubes before he could react, his whole body suddenly froze, and the ice cubes outside his body had formed a huge ice coffin, freezing his body inside.
At the same time, the fist wind, which had lost the support of its true qi, also whistled in vain for a while and then disappeared into the wind and snow, causing no damage to the cunning beast at all.
Xu Chen only felt a chill coming, no matter how he used to operate the true qi in his body, there was no reaction in this ice coffin.
"Don't worry, with Mr. Song's care, my water aura will not cause fatal injuries to you. After a pause, the cunning beast continued: "Maybe you don't know yet, Mr. Song set the time for you to break through the tower and clear the level for six hours, and now nearly half of the time has passed. In other words, in another three hours, the ice coffin formed by my spell will disappear automatically, and the moment of trial that means to you will also be over. ”
Xu Chen's face in the ice coffin was unresponsive, he felt that his consciousness was gradually blurring, and he no longer had the strength to break free from the shackles of the cunning beast.
"What should I do next? Forget it, let's get some sleep. The cunning beast yawned and raised its legs into the depths of the snow.
"Ahh
At some point, an ice arrow emerged from the ground and pierced the cunning beast's foot, and blood gushed out and then flowed to the ground, staining the white ice and snow red.
"Boom!", "Boom!" The sound of breaking ground continued to sound, and countless ice arrows roared up from the ground, directly attacking the cunning beast.
But the cunning beast that had already been alerted would no longer be afraid of these surprise attacks, and as he flew into the air, his right palm slashed down with great force, and these ice arrows immediately turned into countless ice chips and scattered in all directions driven by his true qi.
"Strange, where did these ice arrows come from?" The cunning beast that had fallen back to the ground couldn't help but cast a puzzled gaze at Xu Chen.
Xu Chen in the ice coffin was still silent, his eyes were closed tightly as if he had fallen asleep.
"Could it be that someone is secretly helping this kid......" Before he finished speaking, the face of the cunning beast changed.
He remembered the moment before Xu Chen was frozen in the ice coffin, when the attack unleashed by this kid strangely disappeared in front of him.
The cunning beast originally thought that this was due to Xu Chen's attack being too weak to form any threat, but now it seemed that he had clearly underestimated this opponent.
It turned out that Xu Chen's attack was not to face himself, because he clearly knew that the strength of the two sides was not equal, so he hid all the water aura underground, and then took advantage of his victory over the opponent to get carried away, and used his mind to drive these already latent true qi to attack himself.
"It seems that I was careless!" The cunning beast's face was heavy, his eyes were staring at Xu Chen, and after a while, he suddenly flew into the air, waving his palm and slashing hard at the ice coffin on the ground!
Several cold rays hit the ice coffin, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the coffin, and then spread, followed by a "bang", the ice coffin cracked into countless ice cubes and splashed out, and Xu Chen fell to the ground in the sound of "plopping".
When Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw that the snowflakes kept falling, his heart tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly turned over and stood up.
"Is the time for the trial time over?" Xu Chen muttered to himself, his face paler than the snowflakes floating in front of him.
"No, you have more than two hours left. The cunning beast looked at him quietly, and then said, "But you have passed my level without any problems." ”
The big hand waved again, only this time the true qi that burst out of the cunning beast's palm was no longer dangerous. Xu Chen saw the snowstorm disappear in the blink of an eye, and the person was already in the warm tower.
"Why?" Xu Chen was stunned, and he asked in confusion: "I haven't knocked you down yet, why did you pass this level?"
"Your ice arrow has just managed to pierce my foot. The cunning beast looked down at its still bleeding left foot, and its facial expression was somewhat complicated.
"But according to the rules, it doesn't mean that you lose!" Xu Chen was still confused.
"Although I won you in the round just now, I actually lost. The cunning beast raised its head and looked at Xu Chen with a torch in its eyes. "There is no room for negligence in a real battle, if it weren't for my strength being stronger than yours, the ice arrow just now might have killed me. ”
As he spoke, a hint of warmth appeared in the cunning beast's eyes, and he continued, "In that sense, you have successfully passed my test. Now please go to the fourth floor and meet my second brother Qu Ru. ”
"Thank you Daxian for your success!" Xu Chen was grateful, and after he saluted the cunning beast, he strode towards the stairs.
