Chapter 143
"It's actually the best."
The other people who participated in the assessment looked at Xiao Zhan in different ways.
He was determined to have a good relationship with Xiao Zhan.
There are also those who have disdain on their faces, but their expressions are full of jealousy.
This thirty-year-old Qingtian Sect disciple pointed to a cave under the cliff opposite and said in a deep voice:
"If you go in now, if you can stay inside for a quarter of an hour, you will be able to pass the second round of assessment."
A group of people didn't dare to ask any more questions and lined up to walk towards the entrance of the cave.
It was pitch dark inside the cave and no sound could be heard.
After walking inside and going around several turns, light appeared in front of me.
This is a huge grotto with a several-meter-wide opening at the top that allows sunlight to refract down.
On the ground in the middle of the grotto, in the beam of light, there was a flying tiger with purple hair all over its body and two wings chained up.
This flying tiger is more than five meters long. It is squatting on the ground motionless, but it exudes a very strong aura.
The Qingtian Sect disciple who brought Xiao Zhan and the others in said slowly:
"This purple-winged tiger has strength comparable to that of the Dan Lake Realm, but being locked here by this black gold chain, it can only exert its peak strength of the Qi Sea Realm. If you can stay here for a quarter of an hour, you will pass the assessment. .”
Upon hearing this, most of the people present retreated, and some even felt their legs become weak and subconsciously said:
"Isn't this going to cost us our lives?"
This Qingtian Sect disciple glanced at him and said, "This beast doesn't dare to kill you. At most, he will seriously injure you. If you don't dare, then give up, or wait for another two years until our Qingtian Sect recruits disciples." Come back when the time comes.”
With that said, the Qingtian Sect disciple turned and left.
The next moment, Ziyihu slowly stood up, the chains on his body clattering.
It looked at so many people in front of it, opened its bloody mouth, let out an angry howl, and rushed towards everyone the next moment.
It was extremely fast and blocked the exit immediately, forcing everyone into a corner.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the chain on the purple-winged tiger. The length could allow it to reach every corner of the grotto, so there was no way to avoid this battle.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan slowly pulled out the Red Dragon Sword and stared at the Purple Winged Tiger.
A man said to several people around him:
"The senior brother just said that this beast will not kill us, so there is nothing to be afraid of. We will go together, as long as we survive for a quarter of an hour."
The other young men nodded, and the next moment they rushed towards the purple-winged tiger together.
"boom!"
The wings behind the purple-winged tiger flapped violently, and the strong wind immediately blew these people away. The moment they hit the stone wall, they spit out a large mouthful of blood.
With horror on their faces, they looked at the others and shouted:
"Why are you still standing there? Come on together, otherwise none of us will be able to hold on for a quarter of an hour!"
The others took a few steps back, not daring to confront the purple-winged tiger head-on.
However, the purple-winged tiger took the initiative to attack and rushed in front of everyone. The huge tiger claws slammed down, and the ground was instantly rumbled, as if the whole mountain was shaking.
The group of people split apart and scattered, each standing in different directions.
They could see clearly that even if everyone came together, they would never be able to suppress the Purple Winged Tiger.
On the contrary, if you disperse, you might be the last person to be attacked. What if you are lucky enough to survive for a quarter of an hour?
Xiao Zhan had no idea in his mind.
If you can resist for fifteen minutes, resist. If you really can't resist, then give up.
Anyway, his goal is to enter the Qingtian Sect, and he does not necessarily have to use this method.
If that doesn't work, ask Fang Yu to be your recommender.
As if sensing Xiao Zhan's relaxation, the Purple Winged Tiger suddenly rushed towards Xiao Zhan.
Everyone else heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Zhan with sympathy.
You know, in just a short period of time, there were already more than twenty people lying on the ground vomiting blood.
Someone couldn't help shouting to Xiao Zhan:
"Xiao Yanlong, you are in the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm, and your true energy strength is still higher than the previous level. You must hold on for a little longer!"
Xiao Zhan glanced at the man coldly, then swung the Red Dragon Sword violently, facing the purple-winged tiger's claws and slashed out violently.
"Crash!!"
A burst of sparks burst out, and the Red Dragon Sword instantly opened a crack on the purple-winged tiger's claws.
The purple-winged tiger opened its bloody mouth, roared angrily, and then pounced on Xiao Zhan even more crazily.
Compared with the Purple Winged Tiger, Xiao Zhan was inferior in terms of size, strength, and true energy.
In just two or three breaths, Xiao Zhan was knocked upside down and his back hit the stone wall hard with a muffled sound.
Blood oozed from the corners of Xiao Zhan's mouth, and his expression became more solemn.
He looked at the purple-winged tiger's extremely angry and humiliating eyes, and knew in his heart that if the iron chain hadn't limited its strength, he wouldn't be worthy of being its opponent.
Thinking about it, the majestic Purple Winged Tiger King, who once had a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles, the strength of the Dan Lake Realm, and the existence that dominated a mountain forest, is now locked here and reduced to a sparring partner for a group of low-class humans!
Who can feel the anger in its heart?
It wants to use the blood of these people to wash away its own shame.
Visible to the naked eye, the purple-winged tiger's wings are constantly vibrating, and a powerful and suffocating aura suddenly emerges.
The next moment, the figure of the purple-winged tiger disappeared from the spot and appeared on the left side of Xiao Zhan without any distinction. Its wings shook, causing a heavy air wave.
These air waves piled up one after another, pressing Xiao Zhan against the stone wall.
Xiao Zhan groaned, feeling that all the bones in his body were about to be crushed and his body was about to explode.
"Break it for me!"
Xiao Zhan's eyes were red, and his whole body's aura suddenly exploded.
The red dragon sword exploded with black light, creating a black crescent-like sword light that instantly fell on the purple-winged tiger.
The purple-winged tiger raised its wings together and blocked it in front of him.
With a "crash" sound, the sword light fell on its wings and cut off the thick purple feathers.
Blood spurted out instantly.
The purple-winged tiger was in pain and howled angrily.
Others also stared at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief.
They had just heard from the senior brother of the Qingtian Sect that the true strength of this purple-winged tiger was in the Dan Lake realm. Even if it was restricted, it could still exert its peak strength in the Qihai realm.
But this Xiao Yanlong is only in the middle stage of Qi Sea Realm, but he can actually hurt the Purple Winged Tiger.
Could it be that the Purple Winged Tiger let off steam?
As if sensing everyone's doubts, the Purple Winged Tiger rushed towards a young man without any warning.
The young man's face changed drastically, and he dodged while shouting:
"Damn beast, I have a recommendation, and I want to join the Qingtian Sect. You have found the wrong person!"
The next moment, the purple-winged tiger's wings vibrated, sending the young man flying violently.
This young man was also unlucky. He hit the wall and bounced back hard. He happened to be stepped on the ground by the purple-winged tiger. The bloody mouth that was drooling suddenly opened, revealing sharp fangs and long Barbed tongue.
"ah!"
The young man shivered and screamed, his head tilted, and he fainted.
The purple-winged tiger roared and slapped the young man aside with one paw, then turned around and charged towards Xiao Zhan again.
This time, it jumped up high and grabbed Xiao Zhan with its two front legs locked by iron chains. A pair of huge wings fanned out a blade-like wind and enveloped Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan waved the Red Dragon Sword, forming a sword energy barrier in front of him.
But the purple-winged tiger's claws directly shattered the sword energy and landed hard on Xiao Zhan's chest.
Although Xiao Zhan had blocked him with the Red Dragon Sword, the huge force still passed through the Red Dragon Sword and fell heavily on Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan was already injured, and his bones had not yet fully recovered. This time, he heard the sound of "click".
Xiao Zhan's face turned pale, and he clenched his left fist fiercely, hitting Ziyihu's left eye hard.
"boom!"
Purple blood burst out instantly, and the purple-winged tiger howled miserably, jumped back suddenly, and slapped the ground with its claws in an extremely violent manner.
For a moment, sparks burst from the hard ground.
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhan in even more horror.
Xiao Zhan was seen leaning against the wall, holding a knife in his right hand and leaning on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yanlong, well done!" Someone said excitedly: "Keep on holding on, as long as you hold on a little longer, you can survive a quarter of an hour!"
Suddenly, a young man pointed at the purple-winged tiger with trembling hands and shouted:
"Look, that chain... that chain is about to break!"
Everyone looked aside and quickly looked at the iron chain around the Purple Winged Tiger's neck.
A crack appeared in the black chain that was thicker than the wrist. Under the fierce struggle of the purple-winged tiger, the crack became deeper and deeper.
"Xiao Yanlong, it's all your fault!"
The young man who had flattered Xiao Zhan just now suddenly shouted in a tearful tone:
"It's all your fault. Kill this beast, quickly! Don't let him break free, otherwise we will be dead!"
Xiao Zhan, who was about to attack again, now stood up straight, looked at the man expressionlessly, and then put the Red Dragon Sword into its sheath with his backhand.
"What are you doing?!" Everyone suddenly became angry.
Only Xiao Zhan can contain the Purple Winged Tiger here. If he doesn't take action, he and others will not be able to compete with this beast.
"I can't take it anymore!"
A young man rushed towards the passage crying.
The frantic purple-winged tiger roared and swung its tail thicker than his thigh. The young man was instantly hit in the waist, and his whole body flew out in an extremely twisted posture. He was dead before he landed.
"He killed someone, this beast killed someone!"
The others were also scared to death and did not dare to take action against the purple-winged tiger. They could only urge Xiao Zhan to draw his sword while constantly retreating.
At the same time, they also shouted heartbreakingly into the passage:
"Come on, this beast has killed someone, he's going to break free of his chains!"
But the passage is too long, and the grotto is in the middle of the mountain, so no much movement can be heard from the outside.
In the valley, the Qingtian Sect disciple who had just led Xiao Zhan and others into the grotto yawned and asked a group of junior brothers and sisters:
"Did you hear anything?"
Everyone else nodded.
"Don't worry, senior brother, the purple-winged tiger has been tamed long ago and will not kill them."
In the cave.
The Purple Winged Tiger once again pounced in front of a young man who was in the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm.
The young man roared and attacked, but was knocked away by the purple-winged tiger and exploded into a ball of blood mist while still in mid-air.
In just a few moments, more than a dozen people died.
Xiao Zhan knew that this purple-winged tiger had gone crazy, especially since one of its eyes was injured by him. The strength that exploded at this time had a vague tendency to exceed the peak of Qi Sea Realm.
This is obviously inconsistent with what the Qingtian Sect disciple said.
Xiao Zhan planned to retreat.
He saw the right moment and rushed towards the exit of the passage.
"Xiao Yanlong, you can't leave!!"
A young man cried: "What will we do if you leave!"
Xiao Zhan didn't even look at that person.
But at this moment, a "click" was heard.
The chain locking the purple-winged tiger's neck suddenly broke, and the purple-winged tiger roared excitedly, and struggled wildly the next moment.
"Crack!"
The chains binding its limbs broke instantly.
The aura of the purple-winged tiger rose instantly.
Peak of Qi Sea Realm, early stage of Yuan Dan Realm, middle stage of Yuan Dan Realm, late stage, peak, and Dan Lake Realm!
At this time, the Purple Winged Tiger King seemed to have returned to his own territory, with the aura of the Dan Lake Realm, making everyone unable to breathe.
It roared, and stood in front of Xiao Zhan in a flash. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a thunderous tiger roar.
Xiao Zhan's expression changed, and he retreated violently. The Red Dragon Sword was instantly in his hand, and nine darts were fired at the purple-winged tiger.
"boom!"
Nine sparks flashed in a row, and the nine willow leaf darts were directly shot away by the purple-winged tiger. The next moment, they turned a corner and flew back, firmly attached to the Red Dragon Sword.
Xiao Zhan's steps were unsteady and he staggered back more than ten meters before he could stand still.
He raised his left hand and held the hilt of the Aohan Sword with his backhand. A cold air instantly spread to Xiao Zhan's entire left arm, forming a layer of frost visible to the naked eye.
Xiao Zhan is always ready to use his secret skills, so that he may still survive by chance.
At the same time, outside the cave.
Feeling the terrifying momentum coming from the cave, the expressions of a group of Qingtian Sect disciples changed drastically.
"problem occurs!"
The next moment, a figure rushed out from the palace next to it.
It's Kong Liansheng!
He opened his eyes angrily and shot towards the entrance of the cave while ordering:
"Go find someone to help. I'm afraid I'm no match for that beast!"
