"During the assessment, the elders of the Hidden Sect will pay attention to the changes in the big array at any time, and in case of danger, they will help in time, and they will not allow death or serious injuries, please rest assured. Okay, that's all I have to say about the ranking battle, now invite the top ten monks to come to the stage to confirm the identity jade plate, and then Deacon Yue Huiyue will take everyone to the entrance of the puppet array. Remember, there is a short-distance teleportation array in the center of the large array, and the other end of the teleportation array is the rostrum of the competition square. After successfully clearing the level, I hope that the participating monks will be teleported immediately, and we will know the specific ranking. Those who are watching the excitement, who are concerned about the results of the competition, or who are relatives, friends, and fellow disciples of the shortlisted monks, can wait for the results of the competition here. ”

After saying this, Master Sun turned around and left. Deacon Yue Hui stepped forward, he held a jade book in his hand and began to roll call, while Zhou Xiang and the other nine monks came to the rostrum, and after hearing the name, they showed their respective identity jade plates, and after confirming that it was correct, Deacon Yue turned around and led the way, leading everyone to fly away from the high platform and go to a certain mountain peak of the Tianxuan Sect.

Seeing this, the audience was not in a hurry, they each took out the prepared futon and began to meditate in the square.

Zhou Xiang and his entourage followed Deacon Yue and soon came to the foot of a certain mountain. The trees are so lush that they shade the sky and the sun, and there is a path in the woods over which the monks' edges fly, and the breeze sways and the sun shines down, making it feel very pleasant.

After a while, a cave entrance appeared in front of everyone's eyes, several monks of the Tianxuan Sect were already waiting, and Deacon Yue Hui bowed to one of the old men and said, "Elder Murong, ten monks have been brought, please show me." ”

The elder who called Murong nodded, and then said to Zhou Xiang and the others: "Everyone, first of all, congratulations on entering this year's trial list, and then the old man won't say much, behind me is the entrance to the big array of this ranking battle, this formation is called the Liuding Liujia Puppet Array, and the puppets in it are divided into twelve levels, and their strength ranges from Jindan to the early stage of Yuanying, and the number also changes with the depth of entering the formation. After the ten of you enter, you will see different paths, you can choose a passage for each of you, and then use your exercises, talismans, wisdom, and magic weapons to meet the challenge, and finally determine the ranking according to the number of levels or the order of teleportation. All right, everybody, please. ”

The old man was extremely crisp, and after finishing speaking, he turned to one side and gave way to the hole.

Everyone took a deep breath and walked forward in turn. Zhou Xiang paid attention to it, the first person to enter the cave was actually Gongsun Min, followed by a mid-stage Jindan monk wearing the same costume as him, who seemed to be also a disciple of Konggang Pavilion, and Wu Simei of the Great Virtue Sect and another female cultivator with an excellent figure followed, followed by a monk of the Daoist Sect, Zhou Xiang was relatively behind, and at the end were the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect and two loose cultivators.

Not long after entering the cave, there was a hall, and there were twelve pitch-black holes around the hall, which should be the entrance passage that Elder Murong said, Gongsun Wen and his fellow disciple hesitated for a moment, and then each chose one. After the two of them entered, a stone door was lowered and sealed. It seems that the rest of the monks can only choose other entrances if they want to enter the formation.

Zhou Xiang casually chose a deserted passage, he looked inward, it was dark and faint inside, and the divine sense was also blocked by a force, presumably there should be a special prohibition to prevent the monk from probing.

After transporting the ninth-level imperial spirit to form a shield, Zhou Xiang walked towards the depths of the passage, and just a few steps before he heard the sound of brushing behind him, and he looked back and found that the entrance to the cave had been closed by a stone door.

A few steps further, his eyes lit up as if he had passed through a diaphragm.

Zhou Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and before he could see the surrounding scene clearly, Gu Hongying suddenly launched, and his body flashed to one side, and he saw a light and shadow passing by, "Boom!", where he was originally standing, was hit by a giant claw, and a large cloud of dust was raised.

Zhou Xiang raised his eyes and saw a huge body like a scorpion swaying in front of him, aiming at him and preparing to attack again, Zhou Xiang slapped the storage bag, and the Lone Hong Sword flew out of it, and the sword body of "Sweeping a Thousand Troops" slashed at the monster with huge spiritual power.

Before the Gu Hong Sword slashed the scorpion body, Zhou Xiang felt two black shadows on the left and right sides, fortunately, there was plenty of space here, he jumped into the sword and flashed in the air, and then he felt his feet shake violently, and two huge black shadows collided into one place, but it was the two giant teeth of the scorpion puppet that bit together where he was standing just now, looking at its huge impact force, if it was bitten and its strength was not good, it would be seriously injured immediately.

At this time, the Lone Hung Sword had already slashed above the puppet's body, and the giant scorpion was immediately slashed out, but due to its extremely special refining materials, the Xuan-level flying sword could not cut it at all. Rao was like this, and the huge impact of the spirit sword still slammed it into the wall in the distance, "boom", several huge stones collapsed, and the scorpion puppet fell to the ground. But it then shook its body and rushed over again, this monster was extremely fast, and it was in front of Zhou Xiang in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Xiang saw that this scorpion was so strong and infinitely powerful, so he had to exchange the two swords of Gu Hong and Jing Hong, and when the other party approached him, he pointed a little with his halberd, and the sword of Jing Hong instantly transformed into countless lights and shadows, rolled up three sword pillar winds, and directly surrounded the scorpion puppet, which was the third type of the mixed yuan sword technique "Desert Smoke".

The giant scorpion wielded its twin scorpions without showing weakness and the wind set off by the thick sword pillar bombarded in one place, the sound of "clang" was endless, under the attack of the two spirit swords, the puppet seemed to be stuck in the quagmire, no matter how it struggled, it was difficult to move in, but began to slide to the rear, Zhou Xiang saw this and urged the sword to decide, and the sword pillar of the body of the sword was scraped onto the puppet, and under the crazy destruction of the ground-level magic weapon, the puppet was shattered.

When the storm stopped, the ground was covered with puppet fragments, Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, he looked around, it turned out that this was a confined space with a radius of dozens of zhang, and there was no exit around, including the passage he had just entered. Zhou Xiang is slightly happy, it seems that only after defeating the puppet, the passage of the next level will be automatically opened. Thinking of this, he fell to the ground and strode in.

At this moment, somewhere in the Tianxuan Sect, several elders gathered together and were looking at the twelve jade stones in front of them, two of which were not moving, and the remaining ten were constantly flickering with shadow puppets.

"Oh yes! These juniors are good! They actually broke the first hurdle very quickly. One of the elders praised.

"Yes! It seems that this competition still found a good mercenary monk!"

"Wow! This kid is really welcome, old man Murong, you have lost a lot now!"

"He's not it, he's Lan Ling's girl's brother, he actually turned the scorpion into scum directly, now the old man Murong should be distressed to death, haha!"

Elder Murong looked at the picture, his heart was a little sour, but his face was silent: "Isn't it just a Jindan puppet, the old man is not so stingy!"

The elders didn't say anything, laughed and continued to watch the play.

Zhou Xiang's eyes flickered, and he entered another space, and then immediately exchanged hands with the puppet here. It's just that there are actually three puppets this time, and they are comparable to the three giant wolves in the middle of Jindan, they are extremely fast, and they cooperate seamlessly between advance and retreat, and they actually secretly combine some kind of formation! Fortunately, Zhou Xiang himself is known for his speed, and after the Feihong Sword Technique is fully deployed, it is comparable to a half-step Yuan Baby, which is by no means beyond the reach of the three giant wolves. The three puppets were abolished before the tea was completed, and he entered the next space again.

The deeper he went, the more powerful the puppet Zhou Xiang encountered became, both in terms of speed and strength. If he hadn't practiced Feihong Sword Technique, as a Jindan monk facing such a high-intensity attack, it would be easy to lose sight of one or the other, and drink hatred on the spot. Unless you have a very strong physical defense, and then combine it with a powerful spell of group attack to pass all the way. But all of this must also have a premise, that is, the person who breaks through the level himself needs to have a profound cultivation as a foundation. Because of the fight all the way, the mana consumption is extremely high. After defeating the puppet every time, although you can meditate or take pills to restore your spiritual power before entering the next level, doing so will undoubtedly increase the time to break the level, and the final ranking will inevitably be lower.

With the support of Feihong's swordsmanship, Zhou Xiang doesn't need to spend much spiritual power to deal with the other party, and after Gu Hongying deploys it, he can freely shuttle between the puppets, in his eyes, the puppet's attack has become slow motion, even if some puppets have rough skin and thick flesh, but after cooperating with the sharp attack of the ground-level magic weapon Shocking Sword, Zhou Xiang can also spend very little spiritual power to kill the other party. So he broke the first five levels with ease, and was in the top few of the ten monks.

But Zhou Xiang was not the fastest, because there were two monks who performed well, and they relied on their strong spiritual power to directly reduce ten guilds and cut through the chaos with a quick knife. Zhou Xiang encountered a powerful puppet and needed to use Gu Hongying to fight with the opponent for a few rounds, but these two monks directly used their strongest defense and the most powerful magic weapon to attack, although the spiritual power consumption was huge, but the speed was much faster, before Zhou Xiang completed the fifth level, they had been fighting in the sixth level for a while.
