Chapter 46: The Gap
"Everyone cheer up! The real wilderness is so cruel! Don't leave anything to chance!" Yi Yunxing shouted, he was distracted, and his cheek was cut by the blood sand, a deep wound, dripping with blood, hideous and terrifying.
Half an hour later, the number of eliminated people increased to eleven.
This is one of the few first-class trials in the academy that has a casualty rate, and the disciples who were scattered did not dare to hold on, so they directly chose to quit.
The rest of the elite disciples hugged each other, struggling to resist, and after more than half an hour, they were already exhausted and embarrassed, even Wang Hengyang and Yi Yunxing, the two masters of the tenth order of the Daoists, were also disheveled, their clothes were torn, and the wounds on their arms and shoulder blades were visible, not to mention the other disciples.
It took nearly an hour for the offensive of the blood sand to gradually subside.
The twenty-two disciples who persevered sat down on the ground one after another, panting for breath and exhausted.
"It's terrifying! Those evil shadows of the blood sand illusion, each one of them is stronger than us, and they can barely stop it by using their Dao energy to the extreme. If we hadn't formed a group in advance, the number of eliminated people would have doubled. Yi Yunxing gasped.
"They are actually the evil spirits described in the Taoist scriptures. The Wilderness Demons are certainly strong, but those latent blood energy fields are often even more terrifying. Once the Wilderness Blood Energy Field undergoes a spiritual transformation and energy condensation, it will conjure up all kinds of evil spirits and attack the intruder...... Senior Brother Yi?" Wang Hengyang said vigorously, but saw Yi Yunxing looking at the other side blankly.
Following Yi Yunxing's gaze, Wang Hengyang saw Xiang Yuge.
Although Xiang Yuge was also disheveled and sweating profusely, there were fewer wounds on his body.
"It's not eliminated. Wang Hengyang was a little surprised, the situation was urgent before, and he had no time to pay attention to Xiang Yuge.
However, like Yi Yunxing, Xiang Yuge's expression was also a little stiff, and Mu Ran looked at the figure in front of him.
In front of Xiang Yuge, it was Zhou Xiao.
When Wang Hengyang saw Zhou Xiao, his face changed sharply, and he cried out in a lost voice: "What!"
Zhou Xiao was dressed in a white robe, his clothes were not messy, and his breath was steady, which was in stark contrast to the embarrassed elite disciples. At this time, he was heading towards the river valley, and his eyes fell on the blood-sand barrier between the plains and the river valley, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Not only was it not eliminated, but it didn't ...... at all"
"It's like you've never been in a fight...... How is that possible!"
Wang Hengyang and Yi Yunxing exchanged a shocked look.
More and more elite disciples discovered Zhou Xiao's strange appearance, with complex and strange expressions.
And behind Zhou Xiao, Xiang Yuge obviously knew something, he lowered his head, hiding the shock in his eyes.
......
Half an hour later, the thunder roared, and the blood and sand above the river valley gathered again, transforming into more than twenty blood-yellow evil spirits, pounced on the disciples.
"Here we go again! The junior disciples resisted, and after the first three days, the spiritual change will stop!"
Wang Hengyang shouted, beckoning all the disciples to resist the evil spirit.
The evil spirit is too strong, even if he has used a great level martial art, he is overstretched.
The evil spirits he faced were nearly one order stronger than him, his cultivation was the tenth order of the Taoist, and the power of the evil spirits was infinitely close to the first order of the Taoist.
He made a heart, took two steps back and retracted into the martial array, the pressure on the disciple next to him increased dramatically, and he was much more relaxed.
At this moment, his heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at the area where Zhou Xiao and Xiang Yuge were located.
If you don't look at it, when you look at it, his heart beats rapidly, and he is about to jump to his throat.
An evil spirit appeared in front of Zhou Xiao, three meters high, the evil aura was churning, the blood mist was soaring to the sky, and the whole body exuded a ferocious, violent, and devastating aura!
Call!
Zhou Xiaotou raised his head and flew backwards.
I saw Zhou Xiao raise his head, raise his arm, and push out with a punch, shaking away the evil spirit in the middle of the blood!
Rumble!
The troll-like evil spirit stagnated under Zhou Xiao's fist, and after a violent tremble, it collapsed into slag and dispersed with the wind.
It didn't take long for the evil spirit to condense again and counterattack Zhou Xiao.
This time, Zhou Xiao didn't punch, but poked out with one finger.
His finger seemed to be an understatement, but the three-meter-tall evil spirit exploded, shattered, and disappeared under that finger.
"How is that possible...... How did he do it......" Wang Hengyang's face was pale and incredible, and there was shock and jealousy in his eyes.
More than twenty elite disciples formed a formation, each of them used their strongest martial arts, and tried their best, but they could barely resist those evil spirits, at the cost of being covered in scars. There are constantly disciples who are seriously injured and eliminated, and the remaining disciples are also tired like dogs.
On the other hand, Zhou Xiao on the other side seemed to have some kind of unknown know-how, and he couldn't even use martial arts, and he scattered evil spirits casually. Hours passed, and he was still spotless, not sweating, let alone injured. The reason why Xiang Yuge behind him has been able to support until now is largely because Zhou Xiao has helped him from time to time to help him deal with evil spirits.
It wasn't Xiang Yuge who was sheltering Zhou Xiao at all, but Zhou Xiao became Xiang Yuge's reliance!
"I'm not dreaming, how is this possible!" Yi Yunxing looked at Zhou Xiao dumbfounded, thinking of the words he said before the trial began, his face was slightly hot.
Distracted, Yi Yunxing was attacked on his abdomen and back, and if he hadn't quietly used two disciples to cushion his back, he would have been seriously injured. And the two disciples were also seriously injured by the attack and eliminated from the competition.
Glancing at Zhou Xiao again, Yi Yunxing's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of jealousy.
This second assault lasted a full two hours, and an hour later a third demon struck......
......
Three days later, excluding Xiang Yuge, there were only nine elite disciples left in Wang Hengyang and Yi Yunxing. These nine people are also the strongest nine. In addition to Wang Hengyang and Yi Yunxing, three of the remaining seven Daoists were of the ninth order and four were of the eighth order.
"Why isn't it over yet?"
"yes...... Doesn't this mean that the first wave of spiritual transformation will only last for three days?"
"What's going on...... Yi Yunxing's body trembled, his hands and feet weakened, and he looked desperately at the evil spirit that had begun to condense again in the distance.
With his tenth-order cultivation as a Taoist, he continued to fight fiercely for three days, and at this moment he was on the verge of running out of oil.
"It's just our luck...... In the history of the Demon Hell Curse Valley, there have been two such situations...... The second wave of spiritual changes is connected to the first wave of offsets, and there are no intervals for a whole day......" Wang Hengyang gasped, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Isn't there a solution?" Yi Yunxing roared.
"In those two trials, the whole army was wiped out, and no one could last until the end...... However, some seniors checked the information and found that there was a flaw between the two waves of spiritual transformation, and grasping that flaw could delay the second wave of evil spirit attacks...... But even if you find a flaw, what can you do?" Wang Hengyang's tone was bitter, and his legs were weak and he sat down directly on the ground.
Seeing this, the rest of the elite disciples no longer insisted, either sitting on the ground in a dejected manner, or covering their faces and falling backwards.
Failing the trial and not getting points and rewards is still a trivial matter, the important thing is that they were eliminated in only three days, and they will definitely become a joke when they reach the academy.
In front of the blood sand barrier, one after another evil spirits condensed again, and many disciples had closed their eyes in despair.
At this moment, a white shadow swept out like lightning, which was particularly conspicuous in the withered yellow blood shadow in the sky.
"It's Zhou Xiao. Wang Hengyang's expression was complicated.
"What does he want to do? Does he think he can ...... Hmph, just rely on him ......" Yi Yunxing's tone was full of disdain, but his eyes followed Zhou Xiao closely.
A ray of dust light appeared in front of the blood-sand barrier.
Zhou Xiao's figure was like a ghost, and the dust light on his fingertips condensed into a long sword, which suddenly stabbed out!
His sword stabbed out, the speed was extremely fast, and the tip of the sword condensed by dust and light actually burned due to the friction with the air at high speed, and it exploded immediately!
The hearts of the crowd quickened.
