Chapter 167, Fear
Fear? Faith?
Lin Chen thought back and forth, but fear is a primitive instinct, in the face of a strong enemy who is completely above himself, in the face of desperate death, who would not be afraid?
Suddenly!
The Dugu Sword drove the seal, and a terrifying aura gradually diffused.
In addition to being frightened, Lin Chen saw that a humanoid light and shadow, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, with an incomparably sharp and breathtaking momentum, gradually condensed from the unknown.
Seeing the human form, it is difficult to see the true face, but it is imposing, just like a ghost, floating quietly, but it brings Lin Chen a strong sense of spiritual oppression at all times, his heart feels as if he is sealed by ice, and fear arises in his heart again.
"This is the main creator of the Sword Tower, and he is also the strongest sword cultivator in the history of our Dugu family. This is a wisp of sword soul that he left in the sword tower, don't underestimate this sword soul, he is ten times better than this seat!" Dugu Jian said solemnly: "Next, he will simulate an attack on you, although it will not directly hurt your life, but it will destroy your martial will, and even make your soul scatter! In this sword tower back then, I don't know how many geniuses have fallen, and many people have gone mad! If you regret it now, you can still walk out of the sword tower unharmed, whether you go or stay, and it depends on your choice!"
"Uh..."
Lin Chen was silent, this sword soul was even more terrifying than the sword intent released by Dugu Sword, that fear of death still made Lin Chen's heart palpitate?
Should I give up?
Lin Chen pondered, and suddenly remembered his father who was lying in bed, and remembered the palm that Liu He gave his father that day. In this cruel world where the strong are respected, if you want to protect your relatives, strength is king.
"Disciple wants to stay!" Lin Chen suddenly said.
"Are you sure?" asked Dugu Jian.
"Sure!" Lin Chen's face was firm.
"If you are sure, you will have no regrets, no matter whether you live or die, this seat will not help you, good luck!" Dugu Jian's tone was flat, but the corners of his mouth inadvertently wiped a smile.
Immediately!
Dugu Jian's figure flashed and disappeared into the sword tower.
Outside the Sword Tower!
Dugu Jian stood up, glanced at it, and smiled at the void: "Hehe, Yun Lao, you are really timely enough!"
"I can't hide it from you!" Duguyun appeared.
"The person who can make the Kowloon bells ring in unison is this little guy, right?" Dugu Jian asked with a smile.
"Knowingly asked. Duguyun was white-eyed.
"Hehe, you can hide it so deeply, presumably the matter of the Divine Tiger Inheritance was also hidden by you? Dugu Jian said with a smile.
"Come on, you don't have to beat around the bush and damage the old man. Dugu Yun looked sullen and said: "Although the old man didn't question his talent, but is it really suitable for you to send him into the sword tower in such a hurry?" Don't forget how many geniuses died in this sword tower, even back then, you also used the Lingwu Realm cultivation as a tower to enter the tower, and now his cultivation is still shallow, and his mind still needs to be tempered, you are now demanding with him, is it a little dangerous?"
"The martial arts path he took was completely different from ours, and I couldn't give him the clearest martial arts path. His path must be chosen by himself and walked by himself!" Dugu Jian smiled meaningfully: "What's more, the person who can ring the Nine Dragons Bell and obtain the inheritance of the Divine Tiger Soul, do you always think that he will be so simple? If he can't even pass this level, he will waste the talent given to him by God!"
"Your heart is more ruthless than the old man!" Dugu Yun glanced at it and sighed with his hand: "After entering the Sword Tower, life and death depend on fate, whether you can comprehend it depends on his creation." ”
"Let's wait and see what happens. Dugu Jian smiled slightly, and he was very optimistic about Lin Chen in his heart.
Now!
Inside the sword tower, it was empty, only Lin Chen and an ethereal sword soul shadow remained.
Although it is only a sword soul, his face is blurred, but he has a pair of sharp eyes, which are as bright as a sword, and they are very sharp. As if looking at a dead person, he stared straight at Lin Chen.
Pressure!
Infinite pressure, spiritual deterrence, the fear in Lin Chen's heart was still excavated.
"Fear? Why should I be afraid? Is it because my strength is stronger than mine, that I have to be afraid? No! I must overcome the fear in my heart!" Lin Chen gritted his teeth, although he had tried his best to restrain himself, the instinctive fear could not be suppressed.
There was no way, the spiritual deterrence released by the sword soul was too strong, making De Lin Chen feel a sense of humiliation and powerlessness in the face of the raging sea, and he couldn't raise the slightest fighting spirit at all.
And at this time!
The Sword Soul Shadow had already begun to strike, and the sharp sword eyes opened, like an invisible sword, piercing Lin Chen's mind.
"Uhhh Lin Chen's face was full of fear, under the coercion of the absolute overriding strength, Lin Chen trembled uncontrollably, his whole body was weak and weak, and his sword was unstable. If it weren't for the arrogance, Lin Chen would have to kneel down on the spot.
Shout!~
A sword qi came out in an instant, like a flash in the pan, and it was gone in a blink of an eye.
But at that moment, Lin Chen didn't see how the sword soul made a move, and it was the kind of fear of death that brought endless despair, as if there was a devil's claw, tearing him down the abyss and pulling him down to the hell of death.
"No!~"
Lin Chen's mind was blank, and he fell into the darkness of endless despair.
It felt like a moment, and it felt like eternal death.
In a trance, Lin Chen's consciousness returned to reality again, and there was still no change around him, and the sword soul shadow was still floating faintly. But the feeling of death is still very real.
"Huhu~~"
Lin Chen's face was pale and sweaty. This Dugu Sword is not wrong at all, although the sword soul will not kill people directly, it will slowly destroy a person's martial will. The heavy ones are scattered, and the light ones go crazy.
Lin Chen gasped, tried his best to hold his mind steady, and shouted at the Sword Soul Mighty Shadow: "Come again! This time, I won't be afraid of you again!"
The sword soul seemed to have a little will, and felt Lin Chen's ignorant provocation, and the momentum oppression released was strengthened again, stretching like a tide, vast as the sea, rolling and oppressing Lin Chen, and violently penetrating Lin Chen's mind.
Lin Chen thought that his mind was firm enough, but under the pressure of that powerful momentum, the fear in his heart was uncontrollably stimulated. Suddenly his face turned pale, cold sweat flowed, and he was trembling.
Fear!
The feeling of despair deepened again, stimulating Lin Chen's mind and paralyzing Lin Chen's body. Under the feeling of fear and despair, Lin Chen once again lost his fighting spirit to resist, and his mind was like death.
Shout!~
With another flash of light, Lin Chen screamed miserably and fell into the dark hell.
Muddy, once again awake from "death", still unchanged, the sword soul majestic shadow stands proudly, untouchable, unshakable, invisibly filled with a terrifying oppressive momentum.
"Whew!~"
Lin Chen breathed too heavily, although death was not real, it was just the extreme fear brought by his heart. But this kind of fear is like a seed, as long as you are afraid, it will take root in your mind, and every time you feel the fear of death, it will be deeply imprinted in Lin Chen's heart.
In other words, if Lin Chen couldn't truly overcome the fear in his heart, this fear would become stronger and deeper until the martial arts belief was completely destroyed, which was a very cruel and terrifying state of mind tempering.
"Come again!~"
Lin Chen roared, his eyes red.
Outside the Sword Tower!
Dugu Yun shook his head and said: "Anger will only make people lose their minds and can't really overcome fear, this little guy has gone astray, it's not good to go any further!"
"Hehe, he's the person you value, you don't believe him like that?" Dugu Jian smiled, his eyes were so deep that even Dugu Yun couldn't guess what Dugu Jian was thinking.
"Alas~ The old man just felt a little cruel. Duguyun sighed, Duguyun, who has always been hot-tempered, even has the word "cruel" in his mouth.
"Which really strong man didn't come from countless cruel lives and deaths? If he wants to follow the way of the strong, he has to be even more cruel to himself!" Dugu Jian said, recalling the past, how could he not be so cruel back then?
Inside the Sword Tower!
Shout!~
It was another sword, the shot was invisible, and it felt that the sword soul might not even move, and that sense of death fear once again impacted Lin Chen's spiritual will.
"Ahh
Lin Chen screamed, struggled in despair, and fell into the abyss hell.
The next moment!
Lin Chen came to his senses again, his eyes became red as blood, and his anger intensified, and he roared: "Come again! You're just a dead man! I won't be afraid of you! Come on!"
Shout!~~
A ruthless sword, striking again, seemed to pierce the heart.
No matter how angry Lin Chen was, the feeling of fear never dissipated, but became stronger and stronger in his heart. Back and forth, a cycle of death, tormented to the point of madness.
Again, sober!
Lin Chen's face was bruised, he was extremely angry, his eyes flashed blood, he frantically waved his long sword, and shouted with a fierce face: "Come on, you damn beast! I am a living person! How can I be afraid of you dead spirit!"
Dugu Yun shook his head again and sighed: "If this continues, he will be tortured to the point of madness!
"At this point, fear has been buried deep in his heart, and a shadow demon barrier has been created in his heart, do you always think that he still has a circuit to speak of?" Dugu Jian sighed, and said: "Of course, if he can overcome the fear in his heart, his state of mind will become extremely strong, and his understanding will become stronger in the future, so that he can comprehend a higher level of swordsmanship! I have paved a road for him, although this road is full of thorns, but this is a road that a truly strong person must pass, only by constantly advancing bravely, there is no turning back!"
"Yes, what he has chosen now is a path from which there is no turning back, a path of martial arts full of death!" Dugu Yun sighed.
"Well, this is the path he has chosen, no one can help him, if he wants to get rid of the fear and demon barrier in his heart, he can only free himself and save himself!" Dugu Jian said in a deep tone.
Is it life or death?
Unable to return to the sky, love can't help, Dugu Jian and the two have to wait and see what happens.
