Chapter 156: The First Trial Rounds End (Grand Chapter)
……
Xu Mu stepped forward, and the hunting knife in his hand slashed straight down, and a pure black crack suddenly appeared in the space.
The knife seemed to have split through nothingness.
Situ Zhen's face was solemn, his hands were spread forward with ten fingers, turning into ten thick tentacles like iron willows and surrounding Xu Mu, each of which was covered with dense small black holes.
And these small holes are constantly absorbing the power of heaven and earth inside, and Xu Mu's knife is naturally within the scope of absorption, so the terrifying black blade was temporarily stuck by the ten iron willow tentacles.
"What!"
Seeing that his knife was actually stuck, Xu Mu's anger immediately subsided for the most part, and his brain was instantly a little stunned.
Because according to his perception, although Situ Zhen has hidden his strength, his realm is the same as him at most, and it is even far worse than his stability, and his own knife, but with the help of the ability of his mind, the killing power is extremely strong, how can it be stopped?
"Die!"
Situ Zhen roared, and the ten iron fingers multiplied, firmly sandwiching Xu Mu and his hunting knife in the middle,
Xu Mu held the knife in one hand, and with the other hand and legs, he tried to open up a space to prevent himself from being trapped, and at the same time understood why things were like this.
Because this is an illusion, and all of them, including the magic weapons, talismans, pills, etc., on their bodies, are all virtual items that have been automatically copied by the illusion.
And how strong or weak it can replicate its items depends on the level of the illusion space itself.
The illusion realm that can be regarded as the alliance of all races for the first round of trials is undoubtedly the top illusion space on this continent, but even so, it can't reproduce the powerful attributes of Xu Mu's hunting knife, because the latter is a holy relic, a horn left by the demon god in the era of gods and demons, and even the Fuxi Emperor can't break it.
So what Xu Mu is holding in his hand now may just be a harder hunting knife.
Such a hunting knife, no matter how strong and powerful Xu Mu is, it is only of the same level as Situ Zhen's ability, and it will naturally be clamped.
So what to do now?
The muscles on Xu Mu's body bulged, Dao Yuan attached to the surface of his body, and a thunderous momentum was instantly stimulated, and it rushed onto Situ Zhen's body through his iron fingers.
The thunder and lightning were fierce, Situ Zhen's body stiffened suddenly, and his brain was empty, so the strength of the clenching in his hand naturally softened, and Xu Mu also took the opportunity to break free from the restraints.
Xu Mu held the hunting knife in both hands, and with a solemn face, he used his ability to spin a circle of knives in the space, so Situ Zhen's ten iron fingers were cut off by him.
"Ah!!h
Situ Zhen had just recovered from the shock of being electrocuted, but he immediately felt the pain of a severed finger, so he began to scream.
On the other side, Situ Zhen's fellow disciple looked shocked, he didn't expect this kind of change, and he also opened his mouth, releasing a poisonous snake-like phantom, wanting to gnaw Xu Mu's brain in one bite.
Xu Mu Daoyuan and blood qi surged out, and a backhand punch slammed into the poisonous snake phantom, the dark golden Dao Yuan came into contact with the latter's body, and the hot and pure energy instantly purified the poisonous snake, and Xu Mu's punch also landed firmly on the young man's body.
Boom!
As soon as the punch fell, the young man greeted him with his arms crossed, his breath was calm and defensive, but he was still hit by this terrifying force and retreated more than twenty meters, and after knocking out a shallow mark on the maze wall behind him, he barely stopped.
"What a strength!"
The three strangers who were onlookers couldn't help but exclaim, they had already retreated to the corner of the labyrinth, which was extremely far away, because Situ Zhen and his junior disciples, who were violent and hurtful, were too strong to wipe out the sea and mountains at will, so they were also worried about being affected by the pond fish.
But no one thought that Xu Mu, who was silent in the team on weekdays, actually hid his strength, and hid more than Situ Zhen's two brothers, and he didn't fall behind at all with one enemy and two enemies, and even cut off Situ Zhen's ten fingers!
Situ Zhen condensed his ability and formed a new finger at the severed finger, and then stood side by side with the young man, looking at Xu Mu with a look of jealousy.
"I am the Qianfeng Domain, the first master of the Killing Sect, Fu Jing, he is my younger brother, and his name is Fu Ze."
Fu Zhen, who was alias Situ Zhen, stared at Xu Mu, and took the initiative to clench his fists and asked, "Dare to ask your Excellency's name?" ”
Xu Mu squinted, forcibly resisted the urge to step forward and cut the two of them with a knife, and said, "My name is Mu Xu, a member of the Jiang family, and I already told you when I formed a team. ”
"Also, if the introduction is your last words, then I think you two can die!"
"Wait!"
Fu Jing's facial muscles twitched fiercely, and he said with an ugly face: "Brother Muxu, there were many misunderstandings in the previous matter, I knew that your strength was so strong, and we wouldn't think anything wrong about you." ”
"We two brothers, we are willing to pay some price as compensation to you, and sincerely invite you to join us, the three of us are so strong, work together, and pass this round is not easy to catch!"
Fu Jing looked at Xu Mu with a smile on his face, in his opinion, Xu Mu could not refuse the conditions he offered, because there was no substantive contradiction between the two of them.
In the face of interests, contradictions can be called misunderstandings.
"Nope."
Unexpectedly, Xu Mu refused.
He stared at the two brothers, Fu Jing and Fu Ze, with murderous intent in his eyes, and then rushed forward again, and shouted in a low voice: "There are some things that can not be covered up by simple misunderstandings and compensation. ”
"If you hadn't killed Haishan, there might have been some talk about it, but it's impossible now, I have to avenge him!"
"Toast and don't eat and drink, since you don't want to be good, then our two brothers are not vegetarians!" Fu Jing's face was ugly, and he used the Iron Hand ability again, and his entire arm began to multiply.
"Fu Ze, you attack the left!"
"I'm not afraid to go together!" Xu Mu's eyes were sharp, he controlled the hunting knife to find a good angle, and directly split Fu Jing's iron hand, and the messy and terrifying cutting intent pounced on Fu Jing's body, and the latter's clothes were shattered into countless strips of cloth, and the flesh and blood were blurred in an instant. On the other side, Fu Ze also dragged out two black and white Yamas that were condensed into essence from the void, wanting to judge Xu Mu, and the ability fluctuations were extremely terrifying.
But at the critical moment, Xu Mu didn't look back at him, just grabbed Fu Jing who was about to escape with one hand, and held the hunting knife with the other, piercing his heart.
Yikes!
A splatter of blood, the hunting knife stabbed out of Fu Jinghou's heart, and a look of disbelief appeared in the latter's eyes, and then slowly fell.
He couldn't imagine that he, as the head disciple of the first sect master of the Thousand Peaks Domain, who was expected to be among the top geniuses in the final battle of this Ten Thousand Races Alliance, would actually fall here and be killed.
And what he couldn't understand even more was why Xu Mu would rather ignore his junior brother's ability and kill him, wasn't Xu Mu afraid of dying too?
Fu Jing quickly found the answer to this question.
At the last moment of his life, Xu Mu drew his sword, turned around and rushed towards Fu Ze.
The latter, at this time, was frozen in mid-air by a cloud of shadows with a frightened face, unable to move.
Xu Mu slashed at him, and his head fell off.
"Smack!"
The two brothers, Fu Ze and Fu Jing, died.
Xu Mu looked at the three corpses on the ground, and then greeted the three people at the corner of the labyrinth in a hoarse voice:
"Brothers, please dig a pit for Haishan's body and bury it, as for Fu Ze and Fu Jing, you are all right."
After Xu Mu finished speaking, he walked over to the three of them with a knife, and the latter looked at each other, his expression suddenly tense, but he didn't run away, because they knew that Xu Mu's speed was very fast, and if they fought in a group, there would still be a chance of survival, and if they were chased and killed alone, they would definitely only die.
And in the end, it was not as they imagined in their minds, Xu Mu walked past them without looking back after explaining that they were digging a pit and burying people, and then gradually disappeared into the corner of the labyrinth.
The three of them were stunned again.
"Why?" The assistant powerhouse walked up to Haishan's corpse, held back the bloody vomit, and asked the other two with some hesitation.
"Let's dig a hole and bury someone, otherwise if that guy digs a hole, I'm afraid he'll bury all three of us."
……
Holding the light ball in his hand, Xu Mu turned left and right in the maze, and soon saw the exit of the maze.
It only took him half an hour to get out of the labyrinth.
The reason, of course, is that the skeletal ghost he killed, and the light that burst out of it is the route that guides the contestants out of the labyrinth.
In fact, Xu Mu knew that this was the map of the labyrinth the moment he held this light cluster, and he also wanted to share it with Situ Zhen Haishan and the others to get out of the labyrinth, but he didn't expect it to happen later.
And those three people also chose to stand by when they were besieged, so there was no need for Xu Mu to do any more friendship and take them out.
……
Out of the labyrinth, you will arrive at the last area of this fantasy space, there are four tall doors, and there are four different tests introduced on the doors, and only by passing this final test can you be counted as passing the first round of trials.
Xu Mu came here and browsed the tests of the lower four gates in turn, and found that in order, they were the test, understanding, divine soul, physical body, and combat skills.
Xu Mu can be said to be good at these four, and his body and combat skills are polished from life and death, so he chose to fight at will.
After entering the fourth gate, he was greeted by a passage through a black hole.
He knew that there seemed to be a very terrifying number of demon beasts at the end of the passage, maybe a hundred, or maybe two hundred, but Xu Mu was not afraid, but a trace of fanatical battle intent appeared in his eyes.
Xu Mu clenched his hunting knife, sped up his pace and ran, and finally jumped violently, and rushed into the vast demon sea and began to fight.
Most of these demons are in the first and second stages, there are even krakens running in the sky and on the ground, there are many of them, and their combat power is very strong, Xu Mu can see that they are the kind of monsters that really know how to prey and evolve from monsters.
So he struggled to fight, because there were too many of these demons, and if they were killed, there would be another group of people coming out of the dark corner.
Xu Mu's nerves were tense, and he attached the shadow ability to his own back, and the hunting knife cooperated with the knife intent, bringing his physical body and his combat experience as a hunter for many years to the extreme, and soon killed wave after wave of big demons.
And I don't know how long it took, a new wave of big demons came, this time, their strength was stronger, and there were ten heads at the peak of the second stage.
Xu Mu fought hard and killed him at the cost of moderate injuries.
After that, many waves of demon beasts rushed out, Xu Mu killed and cut again, and it lasted for two days and two nights, and the last wave of demons was killed by Xu Mu.
Xu Mu was exhausted, and almost thought that he could rest, but at this moment, in the cave, a familiar white bone slowly walked out.
In his eyes, there was a faint green ghost fire, his aura was powerful, and he held a bone club in his hand.
It's the skeletal aliens of the three stages.
He is the last monster Xu Mu has to face in this round of trials, kill him, and Xu Mu can successfully pass.
So before the white bone ghost rushed up, Xu Mu had already clenched the hunting knife in his hand and slashed at him!
……
Outside, in the clouds above the Holy City.
Countless young Parapowers sat here, their expressions sometimes ecstatic, sometimes sad and painful, all of which were what they were experiencing in their illusions.
And as time passed, one after another young figures fell, representing their deaths, and one after another Miracle Ones crushed the jade slips in their hands, and then were sent out of the clouds by the light curtain.
These people did not pass this first round of the illusion trial.
"Won't this trial be too difficult?"
In the stands, the elders of countless sect families stared at the test in the illusion, and they all frowned, questioning that this first round of trials was too difficult, and maybe no one could pass it at all.
Because fifteen full days have passed since the first round began, during which young geniuses have kept waking up and young geniuses dying, but no one has been able to pass the trial.
"That kid is so strong, his sword skills are superb, not only did he solve the skeleton ghost with one sword, but he also killed the other two geniuses who hid his strength with one enemy and two, which is really powerful."
Above the clouds, a middle-aged man with a fragment of stubble stared at Xu Mu in the illusion and commented with some surprise.
Xu Mu's strength at this level was one of the strongest people he had ever seen in the Illusion Realm.
Of course, this illusion can only reflect the scene of a fixed position, such as those big clans' participating geniuses, who will deliberately avoid their sight in order to hide their clumsiness, so there are very few pictures of top geniuses fighting that they can see, Xu Mu, it is considered to be the strongest among these people exposed.
The other yellow-robed man beside the man had a solemn face, and sighed, "Yes, Brother Qi, you may not know something. ”
"The two people that kid killed are the strongest geniuses in a sect in the Tao family's Thousand Peaks Domain, and they are called Fu Jing and Fu Ze respectively."
"Their strength is very strong, they have teamed up to kill the demons of the third stage in the outside world, and they are geniuses who are expected to compete for the top seat for the Tao family, but they didn't expect to die here like this, and they were killed by that knife."
When the scumbag man heard this, he was even more surprised, because the Tao family was the family among the hundred clans, and a big clan only had five domains of territory.
In other words, under the hundred clans, the strongest geniuses in each domain combined were only less than five hundred.
Fu Jing and Fu Ze, as one of the five hundred, even if they can't compete for the supreme position, they can at least compete for about a thousand rankings among hundreds of thousands of contestants, and this strength is quite strong.
But even so, they were slashed by the teenager, alone, with a knife.
Someone recognized that the young man was from the Jiang family.
After a lot of discussions, everyone knew that Xu Mu was a foreign surname from the Jiang family, and he had shown three stages of physical combat power in the qualifiers, and his strength was very strong.
"In this way, if he concentrates on cultivation for some more time, there should be no problem in passing this trial." The scumbag man nodded, sighed, and said, "I just don't know, he will be the first to come out, can he have the strength to compete for the supreme position?" ”
When the yellow-robed man beside him heard this, he was about to say something with a smile, but he heard an exclamation from the crowd, so they immediately followed everyone's line of sight to look at the illusion.
I saw that in the illusion at this time, Xu Mu had just walked out of the labyrinth and walked into the cave where his combat skills were tested, and at this time, another handsome and white-robed figure flew out of the cave with his hands behind his back, stepping on the breeze.
He came to the last teleportation formation, stepped on it, and then his figure disappeared in the illusion.
So everyone turned their eyes to a sitting figure in the clouds.
The next second, the figure stood up.
The light curtain did not move him out, but carried him alone into the next cloud, separating him from the others, for he had passed this first trial, and was the first genius to emerge from this illusion.
"That is the strongest genius of the Zuo clan, Zuo Mingqiu, known as the first monarch of the Nine Heavens Domain, cultivating the Shunyi Dao Method, apprenticed to Tianshan, many people regard him as the strongest genius in this Ten Thousand Clans Alliance, and can compete for the supreme position, it seems that he is not mistaken!"
Someone exclaimed, looking at the young man standing alone on another white cloud, the latter stepped on the breeze, his eyes were flat, and he didn't see a trace of panic at all, obviously the first round of trials could not pose a threat to him at all.
"When he appeared from the illusion, I took a closer look, and it seems that he has advanced to the third stage in the illusion, no wonder he will come out so fast!" Among the hundred clans, there was a domain lord who exclaimed with a solemn face, even if Zuo Mingqiu was perverted in the outside world, it was simply appalling that he could recover his strength so quickly in this round and re-cultivate to the third stage.
"Look, there's another guy coming out!"
After a while, someone exclaimed again, so everyone cast their eyes one after another, only to see that in the place of the teleportation formation, there was already a long-haired young man in a cloth shirt, with a straw in his mouth, and a long sword sitting on the side of him, slowly moving forward.
"It's the Chen family's young sword saint, and he also came out!"
As Chen Changkong stood up, his identity was also recognized, he was a recognized young sword saint in the land of the hundred clans, and his kendo talent was unparalleled, although the realm was only the peak of the second stage, but in his hands, he had killed more than a third-stage demon.
"Chen Changkong is the second person to pass, although he is slower than Zuo Mingqiu, but it's really hard to say which of the two of them will be born and who will lose!"
Some people sighed and discussed, in fact, in this round, as long as the time gap between the passes is not too big, there is no way to distinguish which is stronger and which is weaker, after all, everyone is good at different things.
And after Zuo Mingqiu, who cultivated the natural Dao method of heaven and earth, and the young sword saint Chen Changkong passed the trial, more and more people also successfully passed.
"The Jialan clan, the first earth, he cultivates the magic of ghosts, he is the third person to come out!"
"Li Guang also came out, he has the heart of a craftsman, and he will not waste his power to kill demons!"
"There are also Xuanyuan Divine Thoughts, as well as Nangong Huaitian, these two strongest female geniuses in the land of the hundred clans have stepped into the teleportation array one after another, their expressions are calm, Nangong Huaitian has not even fluctuated a trace of the veil, it seems that this trial is a piece of cake for them!"
As time passed, more and more geniuses came out of the illusion space, and soon the number of people accumulated to hundreds, all of them were the top geniuses who could be called in the land of the hundred races, and only a few were unknown hidden cultivators.
And Xu Mu, who shocked them at first, and even briefly doubted whether he was qualified to compete for the supreme first place, was gradually forgotten by everyone, because it turned out that he was not qualified to compete, and there were many people who walked out in front of him, and it was effortless.
But how did they know that the reason why Xu Mu walked so slowly was because he was actually practicing for the first time, so he had to suffer too much in terms of realm ascension.
But as time passed, Xu Mu also finished killing the demon, and then walked out of the illusion space.
At this time, there were already more than 700 geniuses in front of him!
……
