I saw a rare expression on the black-patterned robe swordsman's face, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Li Chaoyi asked directly: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
The black-striped robe swordsman still looked at him with a deep look. Before he asked for the second time, he finally spoke: "Are you going to die?"
"What?"
Li Changyi didn't quite understand what this meant.
The black-striped robe swordsman added: "You may really die, not like you were defeated by my sword before and were led out by others, but a real death."
This time Li Changyou understood and said: "Are you saying that we outsiders may die completely in the Long Night City without even being able to escape with half of our souls?"
The black-patterned swordsman nodded.
Li Changyou frowned. Before every genius entered the secret realm, they knew that this was just a special competition. No matter whether they died under the swords of geniuses from other continents or died in the secret realm, they could still keep a trace of their souls alive. They were brought back by the leaders of their respective continents and helped to recover.
But the black-patterned swordsman said that they might really die.
"What was the cause of death?"
The black-patterned swordsman shook his head.
Li Chaoyi's thoughts were racing and he asked, "Is it that I don't know or that I can't tell? The latter?"
This time the black-patterned swordsman didn't say anything, but Li Changyou understood.
Since it has not been denied again, it is the latter and cannot be said.
He asked again: "What secrets are hidden in the Long Night City?"
The black-patterned swordsman still didn't respond.
It seems that this cannot be said.
Li Chaoyi asked again: "Is it because of the fallen extraterrestrial demon?"
A strange look flashed in the black-patterned robe swordsman's eyes, as if he didn't expect that Li Chaoyi, a young foreigner, actually knew about the extraterrestrial demon.
But he still didn't answer "yes" or "no."
Obviously, there are many taboos that cannot be touched by people in the big city at night.
Li Xianyue thought for a while and asked again: "Do you know that the Long Night City is in a period of loss?"
A strange color once again flashed in the eyes of the black-patterned robe swordsman.
This time he did not remain silent and nodded.
Different from those related to demons outside the territory, it is actually possible to respond to matters related to the lost years.
But just nodding and not speaking obviously can't tell much.
Li Xianyue pondered again and finally asked: "How do you know that we are foreigners, or who wants you to expel us?"
The black-striped robe swordsman shook his head again: "I can't tell you this either. You just need to remember that you must leave the Evernight City before the Night Burning Fire appears."
"Why are you telling me this? It seems contrary to your own duties?"
"I will tell you when the time is right."
He even pretended to be secretive and acted inscrutable. Li Changyue didn't like dealing with such people the most.
But the black-patterned robe swordsman said again: "Now, you need to take my sword."
Um? Why come again?
Before Li Chaoyi could react, the black-patterned swordsman had already drawn his sword. The long sword was as cold as the waning moon, blocking all Li Chaoyi's escape routes, forcing him to resist forcefully.
The blades of the ten realms were terrifying. Although they chatted for a long time, the black-patterned robe swordsman did not hold back.
Li Chang had no choice but to use the [Great Star Reaching Technique] and the "Star Movement" technique to transfer this terrifying blade to another place.
He had just fought with Tantai Yixiao, and he didn't want to fight now.
Seeing that his full-strength sword failed, the black-patterned robe swordsman showed no trace of defeat on his face. Instead, he chose to put away his sword and turned around to leave.
Li Xiangyou understood that he could only leave if he took the knife, otherwise he could only continue to pursue him.
If he had told him earlier, if he had known this, he would have chosen to take the knife from the beginning, and he would not have been chased around the city like a rabbit.
At this moment, the scholar in green shirt had long forgotten that because he was running all over the city, Yuan Chongyin, the female martial artist Tu Yaqing, the talented boy Zhongli Yuanheng and others were eliminated early.
"Watch out for dawn!"
Just as the figure of the black-patterned swordsman was about to disappear into the night, he suddenly dropped another sentence.
"Be careful about the dawn?"
Will there ever be daylight in the Night City?
some.
…
The dim dawn suddenly fell on the two cities in the long night.
Although this light is even dimmer than the twilight at dusk, every Sanzhou genius who is in the Long Night City knows that it is dawn in this big city at night.
After a long night, more than 20 of the 60 geniuses who entered the secret realm have been eliminated, and only a few dozen of the three continents geniuses who remain in the upper and lower cities are left.
Among those eliminated, there are geniuses from the three continents, geniuses from the nine realms, and great masters from the ten realms.
In terms of the number of people, Fenghuo Island in the northwest is the largest, followed by Penglai Island in the east, and Gezhou in the north is the least.
The people inside didn't know what was going on, but everyone watching the battle outside knew that this situation was caused by Hanshan Li Xiangyi's extravagance.
After a long night, it can be seen that the overall combat power of the three continents' geniuses is about the same.
As the dusk dawned, it was dawn in the Long Night City, and countless residents suddenly appeared in the upper and lower cities.
These residents look like ordinary people in the outside world. They live, go shopping, do business, and even quarrel with their neighbors to compete for business.
This scene would not be out of place in any small city in the world.
But they appear suddenly.
At that time, Li Changyi, who remembered the words of the black-striped robe swordsman, stood on a high tower before dawn and saw with his own eyes that the streets that were deserted a moment ago were filled with pedestrians the moment after dawn appeared.
It was as if these people were hidden by the night, and when the darkness receded, they returned to the street.
But they didn't pause at all, and the scene of normal life was really weird.
Most of them are ordinary people, and only a few are practitioners. The one with the highest realm has only six realms.
Li Chaoyi once tried to ask for directions from several of them, also went to a tavern to buy a jug of water and wine, and even deliberately collided with a monk from the Four Realms.
The results did not reveal any abnormalities.
Several residents who were asked for directions enthusiastically gave him directions and even led him.
The shopkeeper of the tavern introduced him to the most expensive wine in the shop. In order to make a few extra bucks, he almost served Li Jinye the food himself.
The four-level monk who was hit saw that Li Changyi was only in the "one-level", so after he apologized, he didn't make it difficult for him.
Everything looked so normal.
The only thing worth mentioning is that these residents said that they had not seen outsiders in the city for a long time, so they were very enthusiastic when they saw Li Changyi.
Li Chaoyi asked them where they went last night, but they were all at a loss and seemed to have no idea that they had been missing.
So what is going on in this Evernight City? What secrets are hidden?
Li Chaoyi couldn't help but look up at the sky. The Divine Master asked them to come here to test and compete. They should know what happened in this long-night city, right?
Now that it's finally dawn, the black-striped robe swordsman tells himself to "be careful about the dawn." What exactly should he be careful about?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was sudden noise in the street ahead. It seemed that a local resident was fighting with an outsider.
Li Xianyue walked towards the place where the fight was happening and just passed a street corner.
A handsome boy of twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a big stick of candied haws, came over and asked: "Sir, do you want to buy candied haws? Sweet and sour candied haws, very cheap, only three copper coins per stick!"
Li Chaoyi wanted to shake his head. He had just bought a pot of water wine that was said to be high-quality Huadiao water in a tavern, but it turned out that the wine was sour and tasted very bad.
Come to think of it, this sweet and sour candied haws on ice doesn't taste much better.
However, seeing that it was not easy for the young man to make a living, he still nodded and asked for a bunch of candied haws.
The handsome young man carried a candied haws stick and bowed to him: "Thank you, sir!"
Then he skipped away and asked the next passerby.
Li Chaoyi used [The Universe in His Sleeves] to put the candied haws away and continued walking towards the place where the fight was happening. Halfway there, the front suddenly became quiet.
He was a little strange. Yufeng went over and took a look from a distance, but was stunned.
I saw a ninth-level genius from Fenghuo Continent in the northwest being tied up by a group of local residents from the third and fourth levels and about to be burned at the stake!
