The 297th stone step.

At the end, there are still three orders left.

But behind the stone steps, there was nothing and darkness.

It was as if the stone staircase had broken from here.

Xu Qing stood with his hands in his hands, and the tips of the three year-old swords were suspended around him.

Che Nian, on the other hand, stood in front of him covered in sweat, his fingers falling rapidly on the compass.

Streamers flew out of the compass and disappeared into the void in front of them.

But he couldn't splash the slightest aura fluctuation.

'This formation...... Xu Qing frowned and thought, "It seems that Che Nian can't be broken." ’

Swish!

At this moment, two black pythons suddenly emerged from the darkness on the side.

The giant python silently rushed towards the two of them, setting off a violent storm in the mountain!

"Jindan Consummation Beast Shadow!"

Feeling the momentum emanating from the beast shadow, Xu Qing frowned slightly.

Immediately, he silently increased the number of swords to four.

These giant pythons are not demon beasts, but "shadows" formed by a certain formation.

This is the conclusion he came to after observing for a long time.

In other words, the entire mountain in this last level is a big array.

"Bang bang bang!"

As three flames exploded in the air.

The four year-old swords were like four Jindan masters joining forces to kill the enemy, and they actually attacked and defended the two giant pythons and killed them.

But Xu Qing solved the giant python beast shadow here, but there was no progress in Che Nian.

Gradually, Xu Qing could feel the feeling of running out of oil and running out of lights from Che Nian's body.

The car is at its limit.

Although Xu Qing had to admire Che Nian's formation attainments.

However, even if he broke 297 formations in a row, he still failed to pass the test of Nanhua Zhenren.

The formation on the last three stone steps is the real "test".

At this time, it was only seven days since they entered here.

Xu Qing sighed slightly, stepped forward and patted Che Nian's shoulder gently: "If you really can't do it, give up, you are already very strong." ”

Che Nian trembled when he heard this, and the movements in his hands finally stopped.

His eyes were red, and he turned his head to look at Xu Qing with a pale face.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, for this day, our Che family has been preparing for a thousand years."

"The spirit stones, pills, and talismans on my body are all the accumulation of thousands of years in my family."

"And for these formations, I have been immersed in them since I was a child, so I thoroughly studied the thousands of formations left by my ancestor and the methods of cracking them."

"But I still stopped in the last three, I ...... Alas. ”

He was unwilling, but helpless.

Because these last three formations of the Old Ancestor had already surpassed the thousands of formations he had left behind in terms of complexity and subtlety.

Che Nian had to admit that he was still not talented enough in the way of formation.

"If my father is still alive, he will definitely be able to crack these last three formations."

"He is the person with the strongest formation talent in my Che family in the past five hundred years!"

"If I can master this broken array to a certain extent, it will definitely not be out of nowhere."

"But...... My father died tragically ten years ago, and I still don't know the essentials of this broken formation!! ”

"Why...... Ancestor, why do you embarrass our descendants......"

The more Che Nian spoke, the paler his face became, and the whole person had reached the point where the lamp had run out, and it seemed that he could faint at any time.

Xu Qing sighed lightly, slapped his palm on Che Nian's Heavenly Spirit, and gently stunned it with aura.

Then he picked him up and turned around and placed him on the stone steps behind him.

Only then did he pick up the broken array disk on the ground and study it for a while.

Then, Xu Qing took a step forward and stood on the stone steps of the second hundred and ninety-seventh floor.

"Alas, it's up to me after all."

The two hundred and ninety-seven stone steps in front of him, he didn't walk in vain.

Besides, Che Nian would explain a few words to him from time to time, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of hiding his secrets.

Xu Qing compared and combined the formation breaking technique of the Che family with the "Breaking Formation Tips" he had learned and the formation method taught by the third senior brother.

The understanding of the formation has reached a new level.

"The way of this Che family to break the formation is to go off the rails."

"Crack it by destroying the structure of the formation so that the formation fails on its own."

"This method is quite similar to the method of fusing the formation recorded in the "Key to Breaking the Formation", if the two can be combined......

Xu Qing muttered as he looked at the void in front of him, and his fingers began to quickly connect on the Breaking Array Disk.

If Che Nian was awake at the moment, he would have been surprised.

Because Xu Qing's manipulation method turned out to be exactly the same as the way he used the Breaking Array Disc.

Initially.

His method of manipulating the detachment plate is still a little rusty.

It's like the first time a person who has mastered the theory does it in practice.

But as time went by, Xu Qing became more and more familiar with the operation of the formation breaking plate.

"This thing isn't as difficult as Che Nian said?"

In the process of breaking the formation, Xu Qing even had the leisure to complain to himself.

Until half an hour later.

With a loud bang.

The darkness in front of Xu Qing suddenly seemed to see the sun through the clouds.

It has changed back to the shape of a mountain.

Moreover, the stone steps that were originally "broken" appeared in the last three steps.

At the end of the stone steps, there is a cave.

There was a glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave.

Xu Qing smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction, which can be regarded as a preliminary verification of the formation knowledge he has learned so far.

"It turns out that my talent in formation is not bad."

He chuckled lightly, took a step in a good mood, and descended another stone staircase.

298th floor.

As Xu Qing stepped into it.

With a flower in front of him, he appeared in a wasteland with Che Nian.

And in front of him, there stood a tree.

A willow tree.

With a gentle breeze blowing.

The verdant branches of the willow tree move with the wind.

Xu Qing was slightly surprised in his heart, and then looked at the willow tree with admiration on his face.

"With willows in formation, the branches of the willow trees move with the wind, that is, the formation changes with the wind."

"It's really terrible for a Nanhua real person to be able to play the formation to this realm."

"Fortunately, this is only a trapped formation and not a killing formation, otherwise it would be a Yuanying Monk, how many will die."

"This Nanhua real person really looks up to future generations."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, and then sat cross-legged in front of the willow tree with a look of excitement and curiosity.

Start watching.

However, while watching the willow tree swing, the broken array disk in his hand did not stop moving for a moment.

This look.

It's January.

......

Ninth Peak.

Li Wan'er rushed into the courtyard of the third senior brother Chen Kong in a hurry.

Before he could speak, he heard Chen Kong say: "Senior sister, don't be impatient, the master has already transmitted a message to me, saying that the fourth junior brother is safe and sound, so you don't have to panic." ”

Li Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then said with a worried face: "The senior brothers and sisters who went from the Netherworld Mountain have all returned, but no one has seen the fourth senior brother!" ”

"And even if you go to collect medicine, it won't take so long whether you succeed or not."
