Just one voice, "Close!" ”

I saw the fog surging around the lantern, and all of them drilled into the lantern, the speed was extremely fast, and the fog involved those attacking demon beasts, and the demon beasts seemed to be pulled by something, and then, their bodies began to blur, and with the fog followed into the lantern.

The fog in the entire space has all dispersed, and the core of the lantern emits a faint brilliance, this time it is not the firelight, but the demon spirit light gathered by the demon spirit mist, and the roar of the demon beasts can be faintly heard, and countless demon beast shadows can be seen inside the lantern, but they can't break free.

Zhao Ning understood the meaning of "Demon Spirit Mist", there was fog in ancient times, called Demon Spirit, which was formed by the convergence and condensation of countless demon powers, and the spirit gave birth to ten thousand beasts in the mist, and the fog did not disperse, and the ten thousand beasts were endless, so it was no wonder that people strangled the demon beasts in it, and how quickly and lethal they cleared it, there was no way to break through the third layer, not because of insufficient strength, but because it was fundamentally wrong.

She raised her hand, and the big demon book floating in the air slowly rolled up, and then fell into Zhao Ning's hand, this time it was just two words, and the mystery recorded in the ancient text was not something that could be fully understood by the group in a while.

At this time, the surrounding light gradually brightened, whether it was the soles of the feet and the top of the head, it turned white at the same time, and it was impossible to detect where the light came from, as if it was the light from the white walls around him, and at this moment, Zhao Ning suddenly heard a footstep.

Zhao Ning paused slightly, she noticed a strange abnormality in her perception, Zhao Ning slowly turned around, but what she saw was ......

The person who came was dressed in a green shirt and a long skirt, clear and delicate, exactly the same as Zhao Ning, and she was also carrying a long sword in her hand, which was the same as the Moon Sword.

The other party didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Zhao Ning didn't move, his eyes looked at the other party, and Zhao Ning instantly understood that this was not a person, but his own shadow.

The right hand was raised slightly, and the Moon Sword hummed, and the other party did the same.

Zhao Ning attacked with a sword, and the opponent also rushed towards Zhao Ning with the same posture and the same move.

This fight seems to really run out of time, there is no upper hand, no matter which move she makes, the other party will perform the same move, and every move will be easily defused.

I don't know how many tricks have been tried, Zhao Ning opened the gap with the other party, standing not far away, the two sides confronted, what is the state of Zhao Ning, what is the state of convenience, what is the look of Zhao Ning at the moment, and the other party is not the same at all.

Shadow, shadow, everything you do, the shadow will be honestly reflected.

Zhao Ning understands that this is the fourth layer, there is no killing array in the fourth layer, and there are no demon beasts, the opponent is only himself.

The key to passing the fourth layer is self-evident, as long as you defeat yourself.

But this is extremely difficult, there are millions of strong people in the world, and there are few and difficult ways to defeat, but this does not mean that it is invincible, there will always be a glimmer of opportunity, but if the opponent is yourself, understand as yourself, attack as yourself, defend as yourself, where to find a breakthrough, its breakthrough is also your breakthrough.

The fourth layer is more capable of trapping people who climb the ladder than the third.

But Zhao Ning didn't think so, on the contrary, she felt that the fourth layer was easier than the first three layers, in fact, nothing was tested, but only ......

Zhao Ning suddenly held the sword, and the sword body moved, stabbing down on his chest, and the other party was also.

Blood gushed out at the same time, splashing in all directions, as if completely cutting off his vitality.

I kill myself. The test is just a "ruthless" word.

Zhao Ning's face instantly turned pale, the strength of her body was gradually fading, gradually, she could no longer stand, knelt down on her knees, her hands were propped on the ground, blood dripped from her chest little by little, and her consciousness began to gradually dissipate.

Not far away, her shadow was in exactly the same state.

Zhao Ning saw it in the afterglow, and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it enough?" ”

Even the voice did not completely disperse, Zhao Ning raised his right hand weakly, and pressed his palm on the hilt of the sword again, and with such a twist without hesitation, blood gushed instantly, gathering a large pool of blood under his body.

Zhao Ning's body shook, and the last breath of life that hung in the next moment seemed to be completely broken.

It's already the limit.

Finally, at this moment, the shadow body on the opposite side began to blur, and the whole person dissipated.

Zhao Ning let out a weak, hearty chuckle.

The hand holding the hilt of the sword jerked suddenly, and Shengsheng pulled the Moon Sword out of his chest, perhaps because of the loss of strength, and threw it aside directly after pulling it out, and with the last trace of strength, he meditated cross-legged, with his five hearts facing up, and at the last moment when the blood was dry, the innate saint and virtue lamp appeared above his head.

The warm and soft light was scattered on the body again, and the vitality poured into the body, and the penetration of the chest gradually healed.

As long as a breath remains, vitality will be like a spark and a chance to live.

Zhao Ning meditated in place, time passed minute by minute, maybe this tower is not isolated from the heaven and earth aura in the Yang God Realm, the heaven and earth aura here is as rich as the outside world, Zhao Ning is running the secret transmission of the six spiritual sources of Taixu while repairing the wounds, and his cultivation is gradually improving.

I don't know how long it has been, but the injury has gradually improved, but I feel a heat wave around me.

This should be a fantastic time, the cultivator has not been afraid of cold or heat since he forged his body, but this enthusiasm has come strangely.

Zhao Ning slowly opened her eyes, but found that the world around her didn't know when it had changed, it was no longer that blank space, she suddenly came to a desert, and as far as the eye could see, there were sand dunes and flying sand, and there was no trace of half of the creatures.

This is to enter the next layer on his own, Zhao Ning stood up, and walked along the sand dunes, which was more desolate than in the desert area west of the Yang God Realm, where there were at least some small animal corpses and some dry haystacks, but in this desert, there was nothing but yellow sand.

Zhao Ning walked in the yellow sand, walked for a long time, but seemed to be unable to reach the end.

She didn't feel the slightest threat here, even if it was a high temperature, it was still within the limit of what she could bear, and the foundation building realm had already opened the valley without fear of hunger, and there was an inexhaustible source of water in the Mansion of the Silent Spirit, and she was not afraid of thirst, and she didn't know what was going on here for a while.

Xu is the image of the previous trials, she seems to be subconsciously looking for the hidden demon beasts here, but obviously she has not got results.

Zhao Ning climbed the mountains and hills all the way, all the way to the direction he had identified at the beginning, step by step, and there was no sign of turning back.

For a long time, there was a sound in the desert except for the footsteps, it was the sound of the wind, the wind came from nowhere, but I knew that it went all the way to Zhao Ning, wrapped in layers of yellow sand, in the Yang God Realm desert has experienced a sandstorm, Zhao Ning is no longer afraid of the yellow sand in the sky, just sit quietly in place, close his eyes, and practice independently.

The yellow sand has gathered a richer earth aura, since it is not suitable to do it at this moment, why not take the opportunity to cultivate.

Zhao Ning was frank in the sandstorm, but he didn't want this sandstorm to seem to be unable to help Zhao Ning, and it didn't take long for it to disperse.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhao Ning still maintained his previous direction, moving forward step by step.

When Zhao Ning crossed a high hill, an oasis suddenly appeared in the upper right of his vision, the oasis stood in the middle of the valley of several yellow sand dunes, it seemed to have a magical power to stop the sliding yellow sand from invading the oasis.

The green trees and blue lake, looking like a dazzling pearl in the yellow sand, stood in place for a while, only pleasing to the eye.

But it was only for a while, Zhao Ning continued to move forward, went in the direction originally chosen, and then turned over a mountain, and the oasis was covered by the mountain, which made Zhao Ning slightly disappointed for a moment.

The footsteps did not stop, and at the bottom of another mountain, I saw two human bones, one had been half-sunk into the yellow sand, the white bones were jade-colored, but they were also dim, and the other straddled the previous white bones, the bone color was slightly shiny, so it looked like they had died at different times, at least a thousand years apart, the clothes they were wearing had been torn, but the storage bag on their waists was still looming, and several spiritual weapons were inserted in the yellow sand.

Zhao Ning didn't even stop looking, and continued to move forward.

Walking like this, it seems that nothing else appears, and it is a boring and more boring walk, and the trance is about to make people's thoughts blank.

But Zhao Ning's expression did not change in the slightest, and there was no complaint in his eyes.

Soon, I saw a long staircase like the first floor stepping into the second floor in front of me, is this already the end?

But the long staircase seemed to never come closer, and it seemed that there were only three or four hills to reach, but he did not want to climb the last high mountain sand dune, and the long staircase was still behind three or four hills.

Zhao Ning didn't seem to see this, and maintained the previous pace, until the long steps seemed to move forward, outside the second hill, the pace did not stop, and there was no longer a hill between the long steps and Zhao Ning, as long as she went down the hill, she moved a few steps to the left slightly to the left of the flat ground.

Go down to the sand dunes and settle in front of the long steps, the first of which is at your feet.

Zhao Ning watched as the long stairs spread upwards one by one until they rose into the sky, the sky was hazy, but it seemed to hide a space.

But even after seeing this scene clearly, the next moment, Zhao Ning still moved forward along the previous steps.

Gave up the long step.

But the long staircase was as strange as it had been away from Zhao Ning before, and it kept appearing after climbing over a hill, and kept landing the first step at Zhao Ning's feet.

As if he was blind, Zhao Ning turned a blind eye until he walked through the hundredth mountain, and the long staircase disappeared.

Her footsteps paused slightly, and she murmured slightly, "The heart is like a desire, and the soil is difficult to fill." ”

The book on the lantern has actually said very clearly, this is the place of trial, called the nine-story trial Qingmu Pagoda Gaomu Tower, the place of trial, one is to test the strength, the other is to test the heart, if the first four layers are all for the test of strength, then after roughly understanding that there is no external threat in this desert, Zhao Ning understands that this layer of trial is the heart.

Among the thousands of kinds of minds, desire is inferior and primitive.

Zhao Ning understands since he took the first step, as soon as he takes this step, the direction has been chosen, and after that, all kinds of desires cannot stop the way forward, and a slight deviation is a compromise of desire.

Zhao Ning took another step, and where she was going, a pillar of sand suddenly erupted, followed by a sharp chirp, which was an additional sound that had not appeared in the entire desert for a long time, and I saw two birds gathered in the yellow sand spiraling upwards along the pillar of sand.

If the road ahead is blocked, there must be no detour.

With his right hand stretched, a red lantern appeared in his hand, and it was inserted into the place where Zhao Ning landed.

The next moment, the man flew up, and the Moon Sword was divided into nine blades, and he took down an oncoming bird.

The two birds look almost identical, with a full body in the front half, but a shadow of yellow sand in the back section.

The Moon Sword entangled one of the birds, and Zhao Ning had already resisted the wind, and his toes were on the top of the head of the entangled birds, such as a point in a cloud of flying sand, and his body rushed upward, and it landed on the back of another bird.

The bird was still twisting its neck back, and suddenly, the yellow sand swooped down on Zhao Ning like a flying blade.

Zhao Ning was not afraid to attack like this, but she didn't want to fall deeper and deeper on the bird's back, so she leaned back, her body fell down, and she fell down quickly, and the bird also chased after her, but Zhao Ning's figure disappeared in mid-air, and she reappeared just above the bird surrounded by the Nine Blades of the Moon Sword.

As soon as the light of her palm and soul gathered, the nine blades of the Moon Sword hummed, and at the same time, she flipped upward, and in the palm of her Zhao Ning palm, it gathered into a complete Moon Sword, and at this time, it gave the bird an untouchable blow.

A bird fell into the yellow sand with a wail, and its body melted into the yellow sand.

The other bird suddenly went berserk in the wailing of his companions, and the attack became more violent, forming a two-phase wrestling with Zhao Ning, but Zhao Ning did not want to fight, her body was agile, and after avoiding a blow from the bird, she turned to pinch the sword trick in her hand, and the Moon Sword was horizontal above her head, just about to gather strength after a blow.

But suddenly I heard a bird's chirp, and I saw that the bird that had fallen into the yellow sand had recondensed its entity and flew upward.

Zhao Ning frowned slightly, and did not stop the sword trick in his hand, under the outbreak of the sword trick, the bird had no resistance at all, and was directly knocked down into the yellow sand by the Moon Sword, which also melted into sand grains.

She swayed, avoiding the newborn birds that rushed straight up, and the Moon Sword flew into her hand.

I paid a little more attention to the yellow sand below, and I really saw the molten sand grains of the bird wriggling on the surface of the yellow sand.

One breath, two breaths......

Zhao Ning broke through the mist of yellow sand attacked by the birds, dodged in mid-air and changed positions, and then his gaze fell downward.

Five, six, seven......

The Moon Sword only left an afterimage, and the afterimage became a sword net, stopping the birds that pounced, and Zhao Ning took three steps back in mid-air.

Nine breaths, ten breaths.

I heard another chirp, and the melted bird really flew up again.

Zhao Ning did not have a bird in front of the counterattack, the two yellow sand birds met, staggered and flew, looking at Zhao Ning with hostility.

"The spirit of yin and yang?" Zhao Ning muttered, it is rumored that there are demon beasts, yin and yang are born together, born as a pair, one party is immortal, one party is immortal, if you want to defeat this thing, you must defeat the two demon beasts at the same time in a limited time, breaking the power of yin and yang.

Seeing the two birds rushing towards him viciously, the corners of his mouth hooked a very shallow smile, his body twisted, and the Moon Sword followed and waved his aura in mid-air, and the aura swam to form a big demon "Hmph", the two birds stopped for a breath, and the Moon Sword disappeared at the same time, switching to a dragon whip, the dragon chant was melodious and high, and the bird's freeze stopped for a while.

It was at this opportunity that the dragon chanted and whipped around the words, strongly restrained the two birds, and collided violently.

Zhao Ning instantly appeared directly above them, and the dragon chanted and whipped the dragon tooth thorn, piercing the two birds with one stab.

The speed of the fall was extremely fast, and in the midst of two synchronized wails, the moment they hit the ground, Zhao Ning pulled out the dragon tooth thorn, flew backwards, and landed where the red lantern was inserted at first.

Footprints are attached to footprints, and there is not a single movement.

A few spiritual weapons were withdrawn, and she raised her eyes to look ahead, and the two birds turned into yellow sand at the same time, causing a burst of yellow sand to boil.

Zhao Ning's eyes moved slightly, and he saw that in the boiling yellow sand, two hearts that looked like stones and non-stones flew out, and then they turned together and turned into a yin-yang jade.

Jade fell into Zhao Ning's hands, this kind of spiritual object is rare in the world, and it is an excellent thing for refining and even cultivating.

At this time, a strong wind rose out of nowhere, and under the strong wind, even Zhaoning was almost unstable on his feet, and the wind swept wildly, and the yellow sand around him was swept away inch by inch.
