The three of them entered the tunnel in the dark, holding on to the stone wall, which was smooth and moist. After walking a few steps, a faint light came from ahead. After exiting the cave, the air suddenly became cold and the vision suddenly became clear.
This is on top of a cliff, with bottomless depths beneath our feet, a swamp of black mist. Several equally dark chains formed a bridge, stretching straight into the clouds. The black clouds and black fog were entangled, making it eerie and strange.
"Why does it feel like I'm in the underworld? It's so creepy!"
"This is the secret behind Black Cloud Palace. I call it the ladder to heaven. I don't know where it leads. I explored here and was discovered and beaten. I stopped here."
The black air in the cloud surged, like a huge mouth opening, swallowing everything. Unknown fear struck, and a chill immediately grew in the back of Mu Chen's head.
Que Xiu looked troubled and said softly: "Young Master, I have a bold guess. The master has a dual identity. He is the owner of Jishan Village on the surface, but secretly the owner of Heiyun Mountain."
Mu Chen looked surprised and dumbfounded.
Ling Han added: "I feel the same way. Master, think about it. It's unbelievable to conquer all the bandits by yourself. There is only one answer. Master is the leader of the bandits."
Mu Chen jumped up and shouted: "This is impossible! My father is gentle and amiable, how can he be a bandit?"
"But there is only one reasonable explanation!"
"I must see him and find the answer!" Mu Chen ran towards the ladder angrily and shouted to stop him in the early morning, but it was too late. Mu Chen stepped on the mechanism, and arrows shot out from the mountain wall like locusts. The three of them waved their weapons to call out the rain of arrows.
After a burst of arrows, several black shadows flashed and surrounded them. The leader laughed: "Someone actually wants to break into the forbidden area? You really don't want to live or die! We, the Four Heavenly Kings, will send you back to the west now!"
These people rushed over together, their weapons powerful and heavy, forcing the three of them to the edge of the cliff in a few rounds. Mu Chen was furious, "Fight them!"
He slashed with his sword, and the man greeted him with a golden hammer. With a sharp sound of the golden hammer, Mu Chen was blown away and fell down the cliff like a paper kite...
...In front of the ladder to heaven, the three of them stood quietly, staring into the abyss.
"We have failed here several times. The Four Heavenly Kings have high defense and health, and their moves are so powerful that they are difficult to defeat!" Ling Han said with a depressed look on his face.
Que Xiu disagreed, "We can carefully unlock the trap and avoid strong enemies, so we can pass."
He stepped forward carefully, flicked his sleeves, and the dust dispersed, revealing the mechanism in front of the ladder. It was a ladder made of countless squares, with various symbols densely written on it.
"This is the array diagram of the Xiantian Bagua deduction. Follow my steps and make sure you don't make a mistake. Otherwise, if the mechanism is activated, we will be beaten by the group again."
Ling Han and Mu Chen followed carefully, and when they reached the ladder, they let out a sigh of relief. If you look closely at the ladder, you will see that it is not completely black. Each step is inlaid with lines of different colors.
"This is arranged randomly according to the colors of the five elements. Remember not to touch the yellow and red colors. Otherwise, the ladder to heaven will break and fall into the abyss."
The three of them crept forward, their breathing stagnant due to nervousness. The ladder entered the depths of the black clouds and could not see any fingers. Only the weak five-color light reflected from the pedals could be seen. Thinking about the abyss below, Mu Chen's feet were trembling and he was teetering.
Ling Han supported him, "Young master, don't panic, we will definitely be able to overcome the danger and reach the other side."
After passing through the dark clouds, my vision suddenly opened up. It turned out that at the end of the ladder was another dangerous peak. At the top was a building with red walls and blue tiles, shaped like a temple.
Que Xiu checked carefully and made sure there was no mechanism, then climbed up the stairs and pushed open the red door with golden nails. Inside, four golden nanmu pillars stand alone, there is no altar for gods, and there is a dark coffin in the middle.
Mu Chen looked nervous, clenching his fists and trembling slightly. Ling Han held his hand and comforted softly: "Maybe it's just an ordinary coffin."
The coffin was made of black stone common in the mountains, with a color like jade, reflecting a strange and dark light. Que Xiu wanted to step forward to check. Ling Han suddenly stopped him, "The situation is unknown. There is no need to take risks. Let's see if there is any other way out?"
The three of them looked around, carefully knocking on the nanmu pillars, the lampstand on the stone wall, and even the walls and floors, but found no mechanism or passage.
"As expected, we still have to start with the coffin." Que Xiu carefully stepped forward and held the cover. There was a sharp friction sound, and the coffin cover slowly moved to the side.
Muchen was so nervous that he almost suffocated. As the coffin lid opened, the rich black gas inside leaked out, along with a pungent fishy smell. "Be careful! It's poisonous!" Que Xiu waved his sleeves, creating a strong wind and spreading the black air. The three of them held their breath and flew back. A horrifying voice sounded in the dusty and smoke-filled hall.
"Finally someone has broken the seal, and I'm free!"
The coffins suddenly scattered, and a tall figure stood up, covered in black, with a zombie-like face, and only his eyes as red as torches.
Ling Han was frightened and just wanted to twist and run away. Although Mu Chen was frightened, she felt a little happy. Que Xiu stepped in front and asked, "What kind of monster are you? Why are you lying in the coffin?"
The man laughed loudly, "That person is not a monster, but that person is Wutu, the King of Black Mountain Braves, who was sealed here."
"In this case, we are your saviors and we should repay you. Tell me, how can we get out of here?"
Wu Tu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "In return, I can tell you how to leave, but there is a prerequisite."
"What conditions?" Que Xiu asked.
"Kill you first!" Wu Tu's face suddenly changed, and he slashed Huashan Mountain with his palms like swords. The three of them hurriedly dodged, and his palms were so powerful that they shoveled ditches on the ground. The red temple was collapsed by the remaining force and turned into a pile of ruins.
Wu Tu stands tall in the dust and smoke, as powerful as a god. Ling Hanjiao scolded: "You want to avenge a kindness, we saved you, and you turn around to harm us. Aren't you afraid of God's punishment for such evil deeds?"
"Someone takes pleasure in killing people and then eating their flesh and blood. This is nature and has nothing to do with grudges. Just accept your fate!"
He pounded with his huge fist again, making a big hole in the ground like a drum. Que Xiu made a look, turned his right arm into a sword, and jumped up. The sword's lava spurted out, hitting his face with blazing heat, and surrounded Wutu heavily.
Wu Tu waved his arms, swept away the lava, and sneered: "This little trick is like a hot bath, it can't hurt you at all."
When he was feeling proud, a black shadow flashed behind him, and a blue sword pierced his weakness. Wu Tu was in pain and shouted loudly. He turned around and swept his fist with a huge fist. The strong wind stirred up dust, and Ling Han flew out of the way.
Wu Tu suffered a fatal blow but did not fall down, and his face still had a stiff expression. "It turned out that they used the trick of blinding eyes as a cover to secretly use their killing moves. These two little ants are very clever!"
His wound oozed some black blood and healed quickly. "What a pity! Someone's body has been modified, like a zombie, not afraid of swords, water and fire. Such futility will only make someone more interested."
His body gradually grew in size, his giant fist hit the ground, the sky collapsed, and the three people were thrown into the air. Ling Han and Que Xiu flew like lightning, and their weapons all pierced their chests.
Wu Tu laughed, "Struggling like this is all in vain!" He knocked Que Xiu away with one punch, and held Ling Han in his palm with his other hand. "So delicate and delicious to look at!"
Mu Chen was dumbfounded as he watched the battle between humans and demons, fighting so hard, refusing to fight or flee, as if he was in a daze. Seeing that the situation was critical, Que Xiu roared angrily and activated the Soul-Burning Technique. His strength surged, and the man and sword merged into one, turning into a stream of light and flying with a hurricane. Wu Tu's chest was pierced and he fell on the cliff.
Ling Han broke away from his grasp and stabbed Wu Tu's shoulder blade with all his strength. Wu Tu's arms gradually turned white.
The monster roared and swept its giant arms, sending sand and rocks flying like a torrent, and the three of them were knocked off the cliff.
…
On the high pavilion of Jishan Village, the three of them stood quietly for a long time, silently.
Mu Chen stared out the window and said Youyou: "According to what you said, we have tried our best to reach the final level. We have tried many times but failed. It seems that this is an impossible task."
Ling Han nodded and comforted him at the same time, "Don't be disappointed. We have already thought of a way. The key to success or failure is you, young master."
Mu Chen paced back and forth and asked, "What role did this young master play in the battle against Wu Tu?"
Ling Han was speechless, Que Xiu replied from the side: "Frankly speaking, you were panicked and did not participate in the battle."
Mu Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this, "In this case, how can I become the Prime Minister and turn the tide?"
Ling Han suddenly jumped up, transformed into a sword, and then transformed into a human form in an instant. "Young Master, both of us are sword spirits, bleeding from the blood of demons, with amazing power. However, a single sword spirit has limited combat power. It must be combined with others to multiply its power. This is why the sword spirit is attached to the human body. reason."
Que Xiu added: "The two of us will become your weapons. The two swords are combined, the ice and fire are fused together. We are powerful enough to break through the sky. We will definitely be able to defeat Wu Tu."
Mu Chen was shocked by the magical scene in front of him, and then asked: "You said that the monster is a zombie and cannot be hurt by swords. Can you really defeat him by doing this?"
"Whether it is a zombie body, an indestructible diamond, blood glass, or unicorn armor, the immortal body is relative. If the power can crush it, it will still be indestructible."
That day, in the forest outside the village, a huge boulder stood across it, like a rhinoceros looking at the moon.
"Master, the first level you have to pass is to control two weapons. We have different attributes. We are in conflict with each other in your body, and the pain is unbearable. You must use the method of yin and yang to fuse in order to control them at the same time."
The two of them jumped up and turned into swords. Mu Chen held it in his hand. Half of his body felt like falling into an ice cellar, and half of his body felt like falling into earthly fire. He screamed, and the sword flew out of his hand and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Master, this is very difficult. You must rely on extraordinary willpower to get through this."
Mu Chen got up again, holding two swords in his hands, his veins popped out, his face was ferocious, his hair moved without wind, the cold air and hot heat alternated, stirring the air, rolling up dust, flowers and leaves, like a tornado.
Que Xiu secretly admired him. This young master looked fragile, but he was determined and could withstand the torment of ice and fire. He was a man of great talent.
Seven days later, when Mu Chen moved his sword, the wind and clouds surged, and the color of the world changed. As soon as the two swords were unfolded, red light and white light entangled, and with a bang, the boulder was torn apart. The remaining force continued unabated, destroying the dead and decaying, and opened a deep trench in the forest.
Ling Han and Que Xiu transformed into human forms and congratulated in unison, "Young Master has completed his skill, it's time for us to start the final battle!"
Mu Chen's hair was a mixture of snow-white and red. He looked calm and his eyes were calm. "Since this is the final battle, I have one condition..."
