Chapter 167: As expected, a sneak attack
Walking on an iron chain at such a high altitude is undoubtedly difficult for ordinary people to reach the sky. Even ordinary low-level monks have difficulty in completing it. However, for a Yuan Dan realm Dzogchen monk like Qingshi, it is not that difficult. If a test were just this, it would not be called a test.
As soon as Qingshi stepped on the iron chain, he immediately discovered that the iron chain seemed to be thick enough to accommodate almost the entire sole of the foot, but in fact it was slippery and could not hold the foot. It did not look like an iron chain. It was said that he was stepping on an iron bar coated with lubricant. Not bad.
The bluestone's true energy was circulating, and he firmly grasped the iron chain through the soles of his shoes, and then walked steadily towards the opposite side step by step, and soon walked out of Juhuading, suspended above the abyss. At this time, there was nothing around him to rely on. The clouds and mist in the abyss were rolling under his feet, and the wind was whistling in his ears. A feeling of dizziness immediately came over him. Qingshi concentrated his mind and tried not to be affected by it, but his steps involuntarily slowed down.
Every step Qingshi took was difficult. A full half an hour passed before he walked out more than thirty feet. Only then did he understand why the hundred-foot iron cable required three hours of assessment time.
After walking a few more feet, Qingshi encountered greater difficulties. The wind was already strong on the top of the mountain, but the strong wind above the abyss was even more raging. The further he walked, the stronger the wind became. Not only did the strong wind hit his body, It pulls people down into the abyss, and scrapes their skin like ice knives cutting into their bones and flesh.
Qingshi concentrated on using his strength to resist. He had to hold on to the iron chain and resist the wind knife, and he also had to fight against the strong wind to maintain his balance. This was extremely difficult. However, it was not over yet. Qingshi suddenly felt that there was an extremely hidden force. The wind blade was mixed with the strong wind and hit. This wind blade was obviously not formed naturally.
Qingshi thought to himself that this must be a test triggered by the magic circle, but this test seems too exaggerated, right?
Qingshi waved his palm and sent out the wind to smash the wind blade, but he had to pause for a moment. When he stopped, he immediately felt his feet slip and his body swayed slightly. Qingshi hurriedly stabilized his body, but his heart was filled with uncertainty.
At this time, Qingshi had already walked half of the distance. Before that, although the road was slippery and windy, for Qingshi, these tests really didn't pose much of a threat, but now the sudden appearance of the wind blade is extremely dangerous. , If Qingshi himself was not an expert in using wind blades to attack secretly, he would almost have been caught.
Qingshi took a deep breath, stabilized his mind and walked forward again. However, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
On top of Juhua, when they saw Qingshi suddenly swaying and his feet stopping, almost everyone's heart skipped a beat, especially Jian Ruoyun.
Although this test is not easy to pass, it does not pose a threat to Qingshi. Almost everyone thinks so, because the disciples who have accepted the test, such as Sword Seven, Sword Nine, and Eleven, can pass the first place. Guan, judging from Qingshi's performance, it seems that he is not as good as them.
Jian Ruoyun was confused and secretly looked at Jian Rumu, only to see him looking at the bluestone, seeming to frown slightly, and then lowering his head to observe the golden cloud plate.
"Oops! What if he..." Jian Ruoyun suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but change his face. He and Jian Ruochen had been thinking about how Jian Ruomu was going to attack Qingshi. According to their thoughts, there was no doubt that Jian Ruomu was going to attack Qingshi secretly, and most likely he would do it in the second trial cave. But he might also do it openly, and in front of everyone at the first level. But at this moment, he suddenly understood that doing it in public was the best way.
Because, if you mess around with the first level, first set up a secret attack so that the bluestone cannot cope with it and drop the iron chain, and at the same time, let the Jinyunpan magic circle have some malfunction and be unable to teleport the bluestone back, then the bluestone will fall into the abyss. No bones remain.
The most brilliant thing about this move is that Jian Ruomu himself was at the scene with others. No one can say that he did it. At most, they can only say that his poor management caused the magic circle to malfunction, and his responsibility is limited. , which absolutely cannot prove his conspiracy, let alone kill him.
Moreover, there is no precedent for this array to malfunction. It itself needs to be inspected from time to time to see if there is any damage to the structure and whether the array patterns are damaged. In addition, maintenance measures such as regular replacement of energy sources must be carried out.
Seeing that Qingshi's situation was not good, Jian Ruoyun suddenly thought of this possibility and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Just when Jian Ruoyun thought of this possibility, Qingshi also thought of it, and it was confirmed immediately, because he advanced a few feet more and encountered two more wind blade secret attacks, especially the second one, which happened at the same time. Two wind blades came flying. Qingshi tried his best to dodge one of them. He had no choice but to use his Xuanjin hand to block one with his left arm. With Qingshi's current Xuanjin hand's ability to resist, he was actually cut open an inch and a half long. Deep wounds.
Qingshi knew that if this was considered a normal test, then none of the disciples in the Immortal Sword Sect would be able to pass this first level. Obviously this was not a test but a secret attack.
Qingshi gritted his teeth and quickened his steps, and soon moved forward a few feet. Another wind blade came, this time there were two wind blades. In such a situation, it was impossible for Qingshi to escape. In desperation, he pulled out his sword with his backhand to separate a wind blade, and then used Xuan again. Jin Hand took it hard.
This time the wind blade was even more powerful because the distance was closer. A larger wound was opened on Qingshi's left arm.
At this moment, the golden light on the black iron chain suddenly dimmed, and after a few flickers, it went out. Seeing this situation, Qingshi's heart also sank. There is no doubt that the iron chain is now disconnected from the law. The connection between the formations, if the iron chain falls at this time, it will not be teleported back to the Golden Cloud Disk but will fall directly into the abyss.
Just as the golden light died out, several more wind blades struck, this time there were four in total, two of which turned out to be spinning from the side and rear. Obviously, the person who sends out the wind blade is more skillful than Qingshi, and his Qi cultivation is definitely much higher than Qingshi's.
Feeling the wind blade coming, Qingshi couldn't think of anything, so he had to force his black gold hands all over his body to prepare for a hard catch. At this moment, he suddenly noticed a change, that is, his feet suddenly stopped slipping, and lightning flashed in Qingshi's mind. , immediately understood that the teleportation protection of the magic circle was gone, and at the same time, the test that made the iron chain slippery also disappeared.
Qingshi stepped on it hard without thinking, and it was indeed solid. With the strength under his feet, Qingshi jumped up high, and a few wind blades barely passed by his feet, finally escaping this wave of attacks with great difficulty.
On the top of Juhua, everyone's hearts skipped a beat as they watched Qingshi swaying on the iron chain as he moved his hand and drew out his sword.
Being so far away, of course they couldn't feel the invisible wind blade that they couldn't see in the first place. It was just that Qingshi's movements seemed to be under attack, but no one was really sure what happened. They all just watched. Qingshi's figure felt puzzled and frightened.
Jian Ruoyun was extremely anxious. Suddenly he saw the bluestone flying into the sky and leaping high. At the same time, he found that the dim light of the black iron chain and the golden cloud plate disappeared. This was what he was most worried about. He was shocked and quickly looked at Jian Ruomu. I saw Jian Ruomu lying on the golden cloud plate doing something.
Jian Ruoyun never expected that Jian Ruomu would dare to tamper with the Jinyun plate in front of everyone, and shouted: "How brave!" He leaped forward and thrust his sword towards Jian Ruomu.
Unexpectedly, before his sword could reach him, Jian Ruomu leaped forward and landed on the iron chain in an instant. Then he shot toward the opposite side with a flash of his body. His movement skills were actually stronger than Jian Ruoyun's. Be faster.
Without thinking, Jian Ruoyun immediately sheathed his sword after missing a blow, then flew up onto the iron chain and chased Jian Ruomu. Everyone behind him was shocked and at a loss.
Qingshi dodged the wind blade and fell towards the iron chain. The iron chain no longer had the magical blessing of making people slip and lose their feet. Qingshi tapped his toes on it and immediately jumped forward and rushed forward. This time He was prepared, and unexpectedly rushed forward ten feet away with just one ups and downs.
At this moment, seven or eight wind blades struck from all directions. Qingshi was already prepared, tiptoed, and soared into the sky again. He actually used the Three Ultimate Wind Techniques and flew high out of the iron chain. About ten feet long, everyone was dumbfounded.
Qingshi's prediction was good. The closer he got to the other side, the more wind blades there were. Obviously, the sneak attack failed, so he simply launched an attack without restraint.
There were more wind blades coming after the wave of seven or eight wind blades just now. If Qingshi hadn't flown so high all of a sudden, it would have been difficult to dodge the wind blades that came one after another.
Of course, Qingshi had other motives for flying so high, and he didn't necessarily have to fall back to the chain.
Jian Ruomu rose and fell on the iron chain like a dragonfly touching water, and each rise and fall spanned a very long distance. After these few leaps, he was less than five feet away from the blue stone, and the blue stone was less than two feet away from the platform on the other side. Ten feet away.
A long sword appeared in Jian Ruomu's hand, and he swung a dozen swords in a row. The sword energy he swung was like a faintly glowing raindrop, covering the bluestone.
Jian Ruoyun's movement was not as fast as Jian Ruomu's, and he fell more than ten feet behind him. He had no time to do anything and only let out an angry cry.
He quickened his pace and wanted to catch up. Unexpectedly, when he stepped on the chain again, his body suddenly shook and was bounced away by the chain.
The dim golden light on the iron chain returned, and Jian Ruoyun, who was unexpectedly bounced away, was not sent back to the golden cloud disk, but fell towards the abyss. He was bounced away because he was wearing a space spiritual weapon, and he was not sent back because he didn't have a pass order. Jian Ruoyun fell lightly, and then let out a penetrating whistle.
Just when Jian Ruoyun was bounced off by the black iron chain and fell, the bluestone also began to fall. No matter how high it flew, it would eventually fall. Qingshi's body was falling, and he was still moving around in the air to avoid the wind blade.
Due to dodging the wind blade in the air, Qingshi had already deviated from the iron chain by more than ten feet. He had already seen Jian Ruomu flying towards him and emitting sword energy, and had also seen Jian Ruoyun drop the iron chain. At the same time, he had also noticed the dim golden light of the iron chain. Has recovered, Qingshi immediately understood that the magic circle was activated again.
Jian Ruoyun fell out only for a breath, and Jian Ruomu had no choice but to start falling. He did not leap as high as Qingshi, so he naturally fell faster than Qingshi.
Jian Ruomu stepped on the iron chain and was ejected with a flicker of his body. However, he was already prepared when he saw Jian Ruoyun being ejected. He waved his hand, and an airship about ten meters long suddenly appeared next to him. Jian Ruomu stepped onto the airship with one foot, and slashed continuously with the long sword in his hand. He swung out a little bit of sword energy and flew into the sky. He didn't know where he was attacking. Who is the target.
Immediately afterwards, the bluestone also fell down. Although Qingshi has a pass order and will not be bounced off by the dark iron chain, walking on the dark iron chain with the dim golden light is not slippery. It is impossible to stand even if it falls from a height of more than ten feet. Besides, it is so dense. Qingshi's wind blade could not be easily avoided, so he did not fall on the black iron chain, but fell towards the abyss.
After the bluestone fell ten feet under the iron chain, no more wind blades finally struck. Qingshi thought, and the long sword in his hand immediately flew to his feet. The sword seemed to have a pair of invisible wings, lifting Qingshi and flying towards Jian Ruoyun.
This sword is Yueying. The sword Qingshi belt is not an ordinary sword, but the flying sword Yueying. At this time, Yueying becomes Qingshi's aircraft, and Qingshi actually stands on the sword and flies in the air.
Qingshi originally wanted to fly with his sword to rescue Jian Ruoyun. As soon as he flew two feet away, he heard Jian Ruoyun who was thirty feet away diagonally below shout loudly: "Qingshi leave me alone, watch your back!"
Jian Ruoyun spread his limbs and lay face up to slow down his fall, but at this time he was less than a hundred feet away from the cloud. Qingshi knew that he was worried that Jian Ruomu was chasing after him and attacking him. At this time, he had no time to say anything, so he just thought, how could he just ignore it? Still flying towards him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a black shadow as fast as lightning passed by Qingshi. Qingshi could clearly see that it was a huge black hawk with its wings folded and swooping down. The black hawk reached Jian Ruoyun in the blink of an eye. Down, his three-foot-long wings opened with a swish sound. Jian Ruoyun turned over and knelt on the black eagle's back. The black eagle vibrated its wings to stop its fall, then let out a clear eagle cry, and then flew upwards with all its strength.
Qingshi was overjoyed and secretly thought that it turned out that Uncle Ruoyun also had such a handsome flying spirit beast mount. He was originally worried that his flying sword would be difficult to bear the weight of two people, but now there is no need to worry at all.
Qingshi turned his sword and flew upwards. His flying sword carried him downwards quite quickly just now, but now he found that it was extremely difficult to fly upwards. If he really wanted to carry Jian Ruoyun, both of them would have to fall in. Go into the abyss.
Black Eagle was extremely fast and overtook Qingshi in a blink of an eye. Jian Ruoyun shouted loudly: "Hurry up and fly back to Juhuading, I will chase..." Before he could finish his words, he passed by Qingshi with a swish. pass by.
Jian Ruoyun went away quickly, and with the roaring wind in his ears, Qingshi didn't hear the rest of what he said clearly. Qingshi knew he was going to suffer, and quickly shouted: "Uncle Master, don't want it...it's not him..." But Jian Ruoyun couldn't hear him.
