Chapter 159: Whispers of the Dead
"Is this kind of strength really something that fourth-level professionals can achieve?" This thought came to several people's minds. Their family backgrounds are extraordinary, and their horizons are broader than ordinary people. It's not like they have never seen the third level. Among the professionals in the four realms, they have never seen a professional as powerful as Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye did not move and suppressed these five students with just his mental power.
"Teacher, I have decided, and I have no regrets!" said the girl at the beginning.
"Me too, teacher!"
…
At night, Xiao Ye returned to the courtyard. Xiao Ye, who had just accepted the five students today, was not in a hurry to teach them anything. Instead, Xiao Ye asked them to go back and think about it carefully for one night. If they didn't regret it tomorrow, he would officially accept them as disciples.
Recruiting disciples here is not like handing over the knowledge you have learned to others in the academy, but Xiao Ye actually doesn't care too much about these, but the students don't think so, and their families don't think so either.
Sometimes, Xiao Ye hates these so-called secular systems, which can easily make people lose their sense of freedom.
While deep in thought, a feeling of sleepiness suddenly came over him. Xiao Ye shook his head, trying to dispel the feeling of sleepiness.
"Damn it, why are you so sleepy?" Xiao Ye shook his head. He had never felt so sleepy since he became a professional.
When sleepiness came over, it was also accompanied by bursts of murmuring.
This murmur was vague and distant, and kept ringing in Xiao Ye's ears.
Suddenly, Xiao Ye fell asleep without any warning.
boom!
Xiao Ye shuddered and woke up instantly. However, when he saw the situation around him clearly, his brows wrinkled involuntarily.
"What the hell is this place?"
In front of him, there was a long step. The step was not too long, but there was thick fog on both sides. Looking behind him, it was still thick fog.
"Is this a disaster for professionals?" The voice of the system sounded in Xiao Ye's mind: "When any professional enters the fourth realm, he will face various disasters from the void, but I didn't expect you, the host. The disaster is coming so quickly!"
Xiao Ye calmed down slightly and asked: "Since it is a disaster, is there a way to solve it?"
The system said: "I don't know, every professional faces different disasters. Even if they are in the same profession, they face different disasters!"
Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and looked around. There was only an invisible step in front of him, and the steps were surrounded by mist.
Xiao Ye approached the mist and felt a sense of terror in an instant. There was a consciousness in his mind warning him not to click into the mist, otherwise he would definitely die!
The released mental power was bounced back the moment it touched the mist, and Xiao Ye could only withdraw his mental power.
"It's really weird! If that's the case, let's go up and have a look!" Xiao Ye shook his head and summoned the two swords!
"What kind of place is this? It doesn't feel good to me!" Liuli said as soon as the All-Things Guarding Sword was summoned.
"I don't know." Xiao Ye replied casually: "Have you recovered?"
"It's almost done. It won't affect the activities anymore." Liuli replied.
Doesn't it affect the activities? That means it’s not thorough yet!
Xiao Ye glanced at her and saw that she was looking around with interest, so he was too lazy to say anything else.
The sword that guards all things was handed over to Liuli for control. Xiao Ye grasped the sword of dusk and dawn and stepped onto the first step with a bang.
A slight pressure acted on Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye shook his body and continued to walk up. The pressure became a little heavier again, which seemed to be twice that of the first step. As he went up, the pressure continued to increase. On the third step, the pressure continued to increase. The steps are twice as long as those in the second unit.
Xiao Ye stood on the fourth step, frowning slightly. Although the pressure now was minimal to him, if he continued walking, according to this increasing rule, he would soon be unable to hold on.
Liuli floated next to him, seemingly unaffected by this.
"Why don't you keep walking?" Liuli asked curiously.
"Wait a minute, something's wrong!" Xiao Ye made a silent gesture toward her.
Click click click.
A strange sound came from both sides of the steps. Xiao Ye stared at both sides of the steps, and a skeleton hand suddenly climbed on the edge of the steps.
"The breath of the dead!" Liuli's face changed slightly.
Soon, the surrounding steps were covered with countless skeletons. They staggered towards Xiao Ye and seemed to want to grab Xiao Ye's feet.
"Are they trying to stop you from going up?" Liuli asked.
"I think so." Xiao Ye replied, waving his hand to scatter a few skeletons around him.
After the skeleton was scattered, it strangely turned into fly ash and disappeared in place.
It turned out that more and more skeletons were struggling to crawl towards Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye frowned slightly: "Let's go up!"
The purpose of these skeletons does not seem to be simply to stop him, but to drive him upward.
After walking up a dozen steps, Xiao Ye discovered something unusual. As he went up, the width of the steps became wider and wider, and accordingly there were more and more skeletons trying to pounce on him.
It wasn't until he reached the 100th step that the scene in front of him changed. The skeleton disappeared and turned into a dead thing of flesh and blood.
"These are the real dead. Those just now were just some skeletons." Liuli said, looking at the dead who appeared.
"die!"
Compared to skeletons, these dead people seemed to have independent consciousness. They swarmed towards Xiao Ye and kept shouting death.
Xiao Ye waved his sword to meet the enemy while continuing to walk upward.
But as time passed, Xiao Ye's movements of swinging the sword slowly slowed down.
"This won't work. Their strength is far inferior to yours, but there are too many of them. If this continues, you will be exhausted." Liuli commanded the All-Things Guarding Sword to attack.
Xiao Ye did not speak, but mechanically waved his arms to kill the dead who were rushing around him.
The pressure on the steps reached a terrifying level, which had seriously affected Xiao Ye's movements.
"Have you noticed that the auras of these dead are somewhat familiar?" Xiao Ye took the time to ask.
"Familiar?" Liuli was stunned for a moment and felt it carefully: "It is indeed somewhat familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before!"
"Do you remember the dead you met before you fell asleep?" Xiao Ye reminded her.
Liuli frowned and thought about it carefully: "When you put it like that, I do feel that the auras of the two are very similar."
"No." Liuli shook her head: "It's not very similar, but it's basically the same breath. But what's so strange about this?"
Xiao Ye was silent. It was strange because they had the same aura, because this place was no longer the era at that time, but in the future a long, long time later!
When Xiao Ye traveled through time and space, Liuli was still sleeping, so it was not clear that she was no longer in the original era.
She had just woken up, and Xiao Ye didn't have time to tell her that it was no longer at that time.
When Xiao Ye reached the 200th step, his sword-holding hand was already trembling slightly, and the pressure around him was almost making him unsteady. What made him most uncomfortable was the strength of these dead people as he went up. The stronger he gets, the dead who could be destroyed with just one sword before are now very difficult to destroy with just a few swords.
"Almost reaching the limit." After repelling the dead around him, Xiao Ye looked up at the endless steps, turned around and grasped the Sword of Guard of All Things beside him!
Break the law!
The power of breaking the law can break the pressure here!
The moment the All-Things Guarding Sword was slashed out, Xiao Ye's body relaxed, and the huge pressure on him disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Why didn't you use this method earlier?" Liuli glared at him.
"I'm just curious about how long I can last with my own abilities." Xiao Ye shrugged: "It's time to take it seriously next!"
He let go of the sword that guards all things, and grasped the sword of dusk and dawn.
"What do you mean?" Liuli asked.
"It means it's time to take it seriously." Xiao Ye's momentum changed, and endless killings poured out instantly, and the murderous intent took shape, knocking away the dead around him.
boom! !
Dense sword shadows filled the steps, like flying willow leaves, sweeping across the entire steps in an instant.
The murderous aura brought to Xiao Ye not only the momentum, but also many sword-wielding skills, such as sword aura and sword intention.
The sword energy transformed and the sword intent condensed. Xiao Ye was like a god of death, stepping up the stairs step by step. No one could defeat him!
Liuli followed him with a shocked look on her face. The murderous intent in Xiao Ye was so strong that she didn't dare to get close. She had lived for so long and had never seen such a strong murderous intent. How many lives had she killed? The murderous intention that had just been gathered together, judging from his age, could it be possible that he started killing people in his mother's womb?
Xiao Ye didn't know what Liuli was thinking. At this time, he fell into a strange state. This terrifying murderous intention was slowly integrating into his body, not literally, but a little bit. dispersed into every cell of his body.
The last time this terrifying murderous intention was absorbed by the sea of consciousness, Xiao Ye didn't feel their presence when he broke through. Just now he just tried to see if he could arouse this murderous intention.
Unexpectedly, not only was it successful, but there were also unexpected gains.
This murderous intention was as if it was his own, and he could direct it like an arm without any barriers.
