Chapter Twenty-Three: Breaking the Tower

With a wave of Lingyunzi's robe, a stream of pure energy hit the stone tower. With a creak, the stone door below slowly opened, and a yin wind rushed towards everyone.

Ye Xiao nodded to Lian Song, and walked towards the stone tower, the wind at the entrance of the tower was gusting, with a hint of coldness, Ye Xiao obviously felt that the pace of progress was hindered, but fortunately he could accept it.

When Ye Xiao entered the tower, a long sword slashed through the sky, and Ling Feng rushed over.

"Little junior brother, little junior brother," Ling Feng hurriedly shouted before he could land

When he didn't respond, he landed in front of the tower, only to find that the sect master and the two uncles were already here.

"Meet the sect master, meet the two senior uncles," Ling Feng, who had finished the salute, looked around and saw no trace of Ye Xiao, so he realized that he was a step too late.

Lian Song on the side saw Ling Feng squeezing over from the crowd.

"He's already in, I'm sure he'll come out"

Ling Feng nodded, looking at the Wind Thunder Tower, revealing a hint of solemnity.

As soon as Ye Xiao entered the stone tower, the tower door automatically closed.

An old voice rang out from above the stone tower

"Welcome to the Wind Thunder Tower, I am the tower spirit here, and if you want to successfully pass this tower, you need to clear seven levels. Each layer of the tower is a space of its own, and each level requires great courage and perseverance, if you fail you will stay here forever, are you ready? An old man appeared in front of Ye Xiao out of thin air.

Ye Xiao nodded and said loudly, "I do"

"Okay, then the level begins at this moment" At the same time as the old man disappeared, the space on the first floor began to change.

After a whirlwind, Ye Xiao found that he was already in a piece of yellow sand. At this time, half of the body has been covered with yellow sand, and the wind is blowing, bringing the yellow sand to fly all over the sky.

The scorching sun above his head, his skin was hot and painful, he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, he couldn't remember how long he had been walking, it seemed like a long, long time, and it seemed like it had just begun.

As soon as he stood up, the wind whistled towards him with a flood of yellow sand. The fine sand washed over his body over and over again like molten iron, the cloth on his body had cracked, his lips had cracked, and his whole face had been covered with dense fine sand.

Ye Xiao didn't dare to stop, he walked forward step by step with his legs. The sun in the sky seemed to never set, and the heat on the ground poured into his body, so hot that he wanted to take off his clothes, but it would not be long before the yellow sand in the sky would break his bare skin.

He could only endure and move forward.

Tired, extremely tired, as if I had to breathe with all my might. Thirst, thirst, as if even his own blood was like a sweet spring.

Ye Xiao didn't remember the first time he bit his finger and drank his own blood, letting the pain relieve his exhaustion.

One step, two steps, after climbing over a sand dune, an oasis appeared before him, and he endured the pain and exhaustion, cheered up, and quickened his pace. He didn't know how long he had walked, but the oasis was still in front of him. Ye Xiao understood that no matter how long he walked towards it, he could never change the distance between them, it was just a mirage. Ye Xiao did not despair, and still dragged his tired pace towards the direction of the oasis.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Xiao took more and more time to lift his feet every time, and the wind was still blowing. With a pop, Ye Xiao fell headlong on the yellow sand. He endured the stinging pain, closed his eyes, this glance seemed to be a night, I really wanted to sleep like this, it was quite comfortable to lie here.

"Wow, wow, wow" Ye Xiao seemed to hear the baby's cry, was it Ye Ping's cry. He thought of Ye Ping, he had to go back, he couldn't stop there, he started to crawl. The oasis was still in sight, but it seemed to be getting closer, and he crawled forward, I don't know how long, and put one hand on the green grass.

It all started to change, his clothes weren't rotten, and his body was intact. Still in that stone tower, but he unconsciously walked to the entrance of the second floor.

Ye Xiao was a little afraid, just now he almost stayed in the yellow sand of the sky forever, but in order to correct his name, he had to move forward.

The second floor is a world of wind and snow, with cold winds howling and carrying ice slag everywhere.

A gust of wind hit, Ye Xiao curled up and kept shivering.

His hair and eyebrows had begun to frost, and the hot breath he exhaled had turned into mist. The closer you get to that mountain, the cooler it gets.

Ye Xiao walked towards the mountain, at the beginning he could still trot to warm his body, but when he reached the foot of the mountain, his hands and feet had become a little numb.

Ye Xiao looked at this snow-capped mountain, his eyes were full of solemnity, if he fell unsteadily, he would definitely be pierced by these ice picks below.

After Ye Xiao saw the route, he began to climb up, the bottom of the mountain was fine, and one section of the road was relatively flat. Halfway up the mountain, Ye Xiao's whole body was covered with a layer of frost, and he had reached the top of a small mountain, but this top was the bottom of the mountain.

Ye Xiao's whole body was frozen red, and his blood seemed to be about to coagulate, so he had to climb up with his hands as if he were climbing a rock.

The moment his hand touched the ice sculpture, a strange chill swept through his body, and his hand had already begun to freeze. He had to endure the chill and grapple with the ice sculpture and began to lift his feet.

Ye Xiao's breathing became short, he held the rock wall with both hands, he looked back at the foot of the mountain, and advanced about a hundred feet. The top is still white, and I don't know where the top of the mountain is, or, as before, the bottom of a certain mountain.

Ye Xiao rested for a while and began to continue to climb up, the ice pick cut through the palm, and the blood coagulated. Ye Xiao didn't dare to relax for a moment, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed.

There was a blood mark left on the rock wall, and one end of that blood mark was where Ye Xiao was. He didn't know how far the top of the mountain was, he almost fell down a few times, his limbs had already been scratched, and he endured the pain in his heart, Ye Xiao had to move. If he stopped a little longer, he didn't doubt that he would turn into an ice sculpture.

The cold wind was whistling, and Ye Xiaozheng was numb personally, and he only acted with the last bit of consciousness. Fortunately, he is still in the bone refining realm, and after some tempering, his muscles and bones are far stronger than ordinary people, otherwise he would not have been able to take this step. If he could further reach the Blood Refining Realm, then this cold would have little effect on him, but he was still far from breaking through.

In addition to the bones, it seemed that the blood was about to be frozen, the speed of the heart beating was much slower, and Ye Xiao's eyes were about to close. He finally climbed over the clouds and saw the top of the mountain, Ye Xiao really couldn't hold it anymore, his whole body became stiff, and at the moment when he was about to fall, a ray of sunlight shone over, Ye Xiao instantly felt warm, and his body was full of strength again. The remaining distance, he soon climbed to the top of the mountain, and by this time he was already standing at the doorway of the third floor.

This third layer seems to be a little different from the first two layers, Ye Xiao looked at the canyon hundreds of zhang wide in front of him, and there was a strange feeling in his heart.

At this time, the old man who had been transformed by the tower spirit appeared out of thin air

"You guessed right, this third level is different from the first two levels, this level looks at your cultivation, the first two levels as long as you don't take the initiative to give up will not sink into it, look at the heart, and the time will be counted as passing. But you have to get through this wind to the other side in two hours, and the injuries you take in this level will be real injuries. ”

Ye Xiao frowned, and his expression became serious.

"Thank you for the reminder"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, the old man disappeared again.

This time, Ye Xiao did not act in a hurry, he stood on the edge of the cliff, observing the law of Gangfeng.

One moment, two moments, an hour later, the corners of Ye Xiao's mouth rose slightly, this seems to be the most dangerous level, but it is actually the easiest level.

Ye Xiao gathered his energy, pinched the sword trick, and the magic weapon sword given to him by Zhou An appeared at Ye Xiao's feet.

Ye Xiao began to cross the canyon with his sword, and a wind blade brushed against his waist, and the clothes that were lifted by the wind instantly lost a corner of his clothes. Ye Xiao was a little glad that his estimated position was not much different, otherwise it would not be the corner of his clothes, but his lower body.

After the scene just now, Ye Xiao moved forward more cautiously, and several wind blades passed by him. When Ye Xiao walked to the middle of the canyon, a powerful whirlwind suddenly came out from the bottom of the valley, and Ye Xiao didn't expect this trick to come.

He sped up his speed, trying to get out of the whirlwind's range, but the huge whirlwind was shooting out in all directions with countless wind blades, much faster than him. Seeing that Ye Xiao was about to fall into the range of the wind blade, he gritted his teeth, revealing a trace of reluctance. sacrificed Chixiao and changed the magic weapon in his hand.

At this time, the whirlwind threw out a wind blade and shot towards him, Ye Xiao had to pick up the magic weapon to resist, and there was a sonorous sound, and a gap appeared on the magic weapon sword. Ye Xiao used the power of the wind blade to hit the sword body, and he was able to escape from the range of the wind blade.

As soon as he was out of range of the wind blade, the whirlwind chased after him. Ye Xiao had no choice but to repeat the old trick. After several times in a row, Ye Xiao got closer and closer to the other side. However, the magic weapon sword can withstand at most one attack of the wind blade. Ye Xiao was full of energy, hoping to speed up a little. But Chixiao had already reached the limit, and another wind blade struck, and Ye Xiao had no choice but to raise his magic weapon sword to resist. "Bang" The sword body was completely shattered.

At this time, he still had dozens of feet from the shore, and there was nothing in his hand to resist. Seeing that the wind blade was about to strike, he had no choice but to abandon Edgeworth, and his body fell uncontrollably. The red sky in his hand glowed red, Ye Xiao quickly pinched the sword technique, and with a roar, a small tornado flew towards the whirlwind, and the wind blade changed direction with the tornado. Ye Xiao finally rushed to the ground and used a sword to break through the air, taking advantage of this momentary gap, Ye Xiao stepped on the Chixiao Sword and rushed to the opposite side.

The entrance to the fourth layer was on the shore, Ye Xiao breathed for a moment, if he hadn't been in a hurry just now, I was afraid that he would have to explain in the canyon.

After Ye Xiao rested, he stepped on the entrance of the fourth floor, and before he got close to the entrance, Ye Xiao felt a strong sense of oppression, and the roaring thunder continued.

On the fourth floor, there is a sea of thunder.
