"What was this just now?"
Su Xin had a look of surprise on her face, as if she hadn't recovered yet.
Lu Zhong shook his head, saying that he didn't know clearly either. Looking at the slowly dispersing blood mist, he had a vague guess about it, but he couldn't be sure yet.
Immediately afterwards, the two searched for a while.
Apart from meat and bone residue, nothing else was found.
As a result, even the identity of the weirdo cannot be explored.
Seeing that the search yielded nothing, the two had no choice but to put the matter aside, raise their vigilance again, and continue to fly towards the center of the illusion, and soon reached the position of the light pillar.
The target location was a brick-paved square, where three old figures stood impressively, all dressed in Biluo Sect costumes. Their status seemed to be high, but they somehow became sandbags for the second trial.
Sensing the arrival of Lu Zhong and Su Xin, the layer of green light that originally covered the three of them and restricted their movements began to slowly recede.
As the green light faded, the auras of these three people became stronger and stronger.
Sensing that the opponent's aura was only at the late stage of Xu refining, Su Xin suddenly took the initiative to propose: "Friend Lu, if you don't let me hold them down this time, how about you kill the third person quickly? In this way, you can Deal with the opponent quickly. To be honest with you, the premonition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger now..."
"I feel the same way." Lu Zhongning replied.
From just now, there were warning signs in his mind, and as time went by, they became stronger.
In this case, a quickie is a good option.
Just when the two of them flew over the square, the three opponents who were originally trapped by the green light finally got rid of their imprisonment.
"Are you the opponents this time?"
An old man holding a wooden staff raised his head and looked at the two testers, and suddenly laughed.
"Huai Gui, what's the use of talking so much? Why don't we end it as soon as possible, whether it's killing or being killed, I want to go back and rest."
Among the three, an old woman in silver clothes was getting impatient at this moment.
"Yes, yes, I'm tired. Let's finish it early."
Another old man spoke.
"Huh, that's really disappointing!"
The old man with the wooden stick snorted coldly, and instead of continuing to speak, he slammed the wooden stick.
Wow!
The next moment, a green light rippled away.
Wherever the green light is diffuse, there are twisted and deformed vines, breaking out of the ground like raindrops and swimming freely in the air. There is a gap at the front end, revealing the pale sharp teeth inside.
At an incredible speed, he flew towards Lu Zhong and bit him.
boom!
With one slash of his sword, Lu Zhong knocked the vines away, then turned around and struck again with his sword.
This time split the attack vine in half.
But soon, more vines came.
No matter how many times he has seen this scene, the old man with the wooden stick still enjoys it. After all, this is his lifelong secret skill - the eternal blooming vine world, combined with the secret technique that Chunmu's spirit body has just cultivated.
The old man's eyes showed anticipation, wanting to see the moment when Lu Zhong was swallowed up.
At the same time, the old woman also took action.
But her target was not Lu Zhong, but Su Xin.
There was a small green bell in the old woman's hand. As she continued to activate it with her magic power, she immediately exhaled a stream of green smoke and turned into small green snakes. She hesitated in her mouth and flew towards Su Xin.
At this time, Su Xin was fighting with the last old man among the three.
The shadow of the sword flew, and the fire splashed everywhere.
It was only after she fought that she realized that her opponent was far more difficult to deal with than she thought.
For example, the old man in front of me has mastered the fire spell and has already mastered it, and his power has been increased to a terrifying level.
Just as he was talking, the old man laughed again, opened his mouth and spit out a stream of fireballs.
Attacked from the front and back, Su Xin's complexion changed and he activated another jade talisman.
boom!
After a series of explosions, there was only a deep pit where Su Xin originally stood.
"Is he dead?" The old woman was surprised and suspicious.
It stands to reason that with the combined efforts of the two of them, without being able to dodge in time, the girl should have died without any chance of survival.
"No!"
The old man's expression changed, and his eyes suddenly moved to one place.
At some point, Su Xin had already touched the old woman's body, and before she could react, a sword shadow had quietly arrived, carrying an unparalleled sword intent.
Clang!
A set of sword moves struck the small green bell one after another, sparking a large amount of sparks.
Before Su Xin's moves could be used up, the old man had already ducked nearby, and regardless of the old woman who was fighting with him, he opened his mouth and spat out blazing flames, hoping to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Charcoal seller, you——!"
The old woman suddenly became furious.
The three of them participated in the trial. Although every time they died, their souls would be reshaped and they would not die. However, each reshaping was extremely painful, comparable to having their souls reborn.
Now that so many years have passed, she still can't bear the pain.
This is the torture Biluo Sect inflicts on those who have committed heinous crimes.
At the same time, it also allows the eternal life that the three of them pursue to be realized in another form, but the price of this eternal life is huge, and they will have to spend eternity in torture.
Until the three true spirits were completely wiped out.
Before the old man could respond, a figure next to him vomited blood and flew backwards, followed by lightning.
Electric light flashed, and the lightning rod struck out one sword after another, each sword more powerful than the last. The old man raised his wooden stick high above his head, trying to resist the repeated attacks of the thunder sword.
But it's all in vain.
Boom!
After a thunder, the wooden staff broke into two pieces.
Without the spiritual treasure of the wooden stick, the old man finally couldn't hold on any longer. He was struck by lightning and turned into powder amidst his screams.
"So fast!"
The old man turned his head and looked surprised.
However, what surprised him even more was what happened next. After the flames dissipated, not only the old woman was intact, but also the girl whom he regarded as his main target.
Apart from being a little burnt, he was not injured at all.
“Each generation is better than the next!”
After the old man finished speaking, he laughed and became even more excited.
It's better to be strong, otherwise it would be pointless to kill.
"What should I use next?"
"Yes, that's it!"
He laughed, crossed his left and right hands, and instantly formed an orange fire mark, and then hit Lu Zhong. After flying a few feet, the fire seal twisted and transformed into a fire phoenix.
As it flew by, the scorching heat brought out a river of lava.
Lu Zhong's expression also changed slightly when he saw it. He also noticed that the fire seal just now was not simple. It seemed to be mixed with supernatural powers, and it was not a simple fire spell.
Thinking of this, he turned around and took out the Star Mirror.
Then, the mirror was aimed at the flying fire phoenix, and a thick mirror light spurted out.
The two collided in the air, shooting out dazzling flames.
Faintly, it was the old man who was superior!
Lu Zhong's expression changed, and he flipped his hand to bring out the blue water fan. He fanned it several times without hesitation, consuming 30% of his mana and turning it into a wave of water that covered the fire phoenix.
With the help of Shuibo, Xingchenjian finally gained the upper hand.
Now, it was the old man's turn to have a headache.
He did not expect that his move "Fire Phoenix Song" would always be invincible, but he never thought that he would encounter an opponent, especially if the opponent was still a cultivator. He murmured:
"No wonder the old monster Huai was completely defeated just now after three or two attacks. If the opponent were this kid, he would not be defeated unjustly!"
Seeing the light coming from the mirror, the old man laughed again:
"Hahaha, it's rare to meet a talented person, and the Biluo Sect's brats can't teach you, so I'll give you a chance! Haha, be careful because it scalds your hands, but don't end up losing your life because of it!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and released a glow.
When the light dispersed, a large piece of text suddenly appeared.
"Fire Phoenix Yin?"
Lu Zhong's face condensed, and he understood that this was the name of the spell the old man had just released.
"It's clear that I'm not yet in the integration stage, but I can actually use this kind of magic with magical effects. Even if it's done by tricks, it's of great value. But he reminded me that it's hot, what does it mean? Is it because it's difficult to practice, or maybe it's because it's hot. Are there any sequelae, or are there other reasons?"
Without any time to think about it, he just took one look and sent the old man away.
By this time, only the old woman in silver was left in the field.
"Old Huai, you two charcoal sellers will die very quickly!"
She thought to herself and turned her eyes to Lu Zhong. Knowing that he was a very good Dharma practitioner, she couldn't help but feel like the old man who had just sold charcoal, cherishing his talent.
Just then, an accident suddenly occurred.
The figures of the old man Huai who just died and the charcoal seller who followed in his footsteps actually appeared.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the two of them, the old woman's expression changed drastically.
According to previous rules, they had to go through at least three to five hundred years of torture before they could complete the reshaping of their souls. How could it be like now, just after being killed by the trialer, he immediately returned to his original shape.
Then, she realized something was wrong.
In the past, after completing the reshaping of the soul, even if the process was extremely painful, the two of them could regain their consciousness immediately. How could they be like this now, with their eyes dull and lifeless, like puppets being manipulated by strings.
On the other side, Lu Zhonggang met Su Xin.
"These two people have the same aura as weirdos!" Su Xin said with a solemn expression.
"I felt it too."
Lu Zhong nodded and looked at the two people who reappeared, and the suspicion in his heart was confirmed.
If there are no accidents, the Taiyin Sect sent people in this time, it was definitely not as simple as obtaining three copies of Qingxiao Water, and it was most likely related to the weirdo just now.
Before and after the contact, it was not difficult for Lu Zhong to guess that the previous weirdo had been seriously injured by a Taiyin Sect monk. As a result, halfway through the fight with the two, he could no longer suppress his injuries and exploded into a ball of blood mist.
"What are you planning?"
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a scream came from the front.
But it was the old woman in silver who suffered a disaster. The old man Sophora japonica and the old man selling charcoal appeared unexpectedly, and they turned into afterimages and pounced out, directly knocking her down unsuspectingly, followed by a burst of mad bites.
Lu Zhong, who was about to take action, stopped in surprise.
"No, no no no! My real spirit is-!"
The old woman never expected that the complete relief she had been seeking would come so suddenly.
Not far away, Lu Zhong originally thought that after the old woman died, she would appear soon like the two people before her, but after waiting for more than ten breaths, this scene did not happen.
He couldn't help but wonder, was it because he was swallowed by a weirdo?
Su Xin on the side looked happy at this moment.
"Great, once the old woman dies, the trial will be over, and we can..." Before she could finish her words, a familiar feeling came over her again.
I felt like the world was spinning for a while, and the two of them appeared at Tanbian again.
The good news is, the weirdos didn't follow the news.
At this moment, it was quiet beside the pool, and there was no one else around. It was as if the team that had finished the second trial was just Lu Zhong and Su Xin.
Soon, the rewards gathered again.
In this second trial, because there is no snowballing mechanism, the amount of Qingxiao Water is almost the same as in the first trial.
"Total up, there are six copies in total."
Lu Zhong made a secret calculation and found that it barely met his psychological expectations.
"Do you want to continue?"
he asked himself in his mind.
According to the current situation, something is obviously happening in this blue sky spiritual realm.
In order to pass the third trial and get more Qingxiao water, and to stay in order to get the Bixiao spiritual water, it is obviously not a wise move. Moreover, it is still a question whether the nine teams can be gathered together and the formation prepared by Yi Yi will be effective.
Just as Lu Zhong was thinking about it, there were figures one after another who ended the trial and left the illusion with panic on their faces.
Only eighteen teams entered.
But now, including Lu Zhong's team, there are only eight teams in total.
Seeing this scene, although Lu Zhong's expression remained unchanged, he was even more surprised in his heart, "Could it be that ten teams of elite monks, twenty elite monks painstakingly cultivated by big forces, were really destroyed inside?"
Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur.
After waiting for a while, two more teams showed up.
Bu Yi was in one team, and the other team was composed of two strong men. Lu Zhong recognized these two strong men, and the outside world called them the "Twins of Chunli Island".
They are a pair of extremely powerful twins, probably capable of surpassing Feng Chao in terms of strength.
After the second trial, Bu Yi and the Chunli Island Twins behaved just like everyone else, both with lingering fears.
With the current situation, it is obvious that no one wants to continue.
Not to mention risking the life of a weirdo to pass the third trial test, gather the nine nodes required for the formation, and start the exclusive trial to obtain the Blue Sky Spiritual Water.
Seeing that the plan was about to be abandoned, an accident occurred again.
Only figures emerged one after another.
But it was the eight teams that entered before and failed to pass the trial. At this moment, the eyes of these sixteen people were dull, and they were no different from weirdos.
As soon as he appeared, he rushed towards everyone.
"Who can tell me what happened!" someone shouted while fighting back.
It's a pity that no one answered him.
More people are retreating quietly now.
The weirdo is extremely difficult to deal with and is not as strong as Lianxu. The monks present have experienced this firsthand. What's more, now that there are sixteen of them, it's almost mind-numbing.
By coincidence, everyone was about to fly away from Biluo Pond.
Lu Zhong had already decided to stay away, so he flew ahead, but there was someone who was faster than him and had already taken the lead and ran away. However, the man didn't wait long before he hit a transparent wall.
This scene was witnessed by all the monks.
"No, we haven't left the illusion yet!"
I don't know who it was, but suddenly revealed a shocking truth.
"What!" someone exclaimed.
There was even a monk with a gloomy and uncertain face, frowning as he considered the possible answer to this matter.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he finally understood the reason for his uneasiness.
"When exactly..."
