Lin Chen thought back and forth, but fear is a primitive instinct. Facing a powerful enemy that is completely superior to oneself, and facing despair and death, who would not be afraid?
Suddenly!
Dugu Sword drives the seal, and a terrifying aura gradually spreads.
While being frightened, Lin Chen saw a human-shaped light and shadow, like an unsheathed sword, gradually emerging from the unknown with a fierce and breathtaking aura.
Only the human form is visible, but the real face is hard to see, but the momentum is overwhelming. It is like a ghost, floating quietly, but it gives Lin Chen a strong sense of mental oppression at all times. His mind feels like it is sealed by ice, and his heart
Fear arises again.
"This is the main creator of the sword tower, and he is also the strongest swordsman in the history of our Dugu family. This is a ray of sword soul he left behind in the sword tower. Don't underestimate this sword soul. He is more powerful than me.
Ten times better!" Dugu Jian said solemnly: "Next, he will simulate an attack on you. Although it will not directly hurt your life, it will destroy your martial arts will and even make you lose your soul! In this sword tower back then, you could
I don’t know how many geniuses have fallen, and many people have become obsessed with it! If you regret it now, you can still walk out of the sword tower unharmed. Whether you go or stay, it depends on your choice!"
"Forehead···"
Lin Chen was silent. This sword spirit was more terrifying than the sword intention released by Dugu Jian just now. That fear of death still made Lin Chen feel lingering fear?
Should I give up?
Lin Chen was deep in thought, and suddenly thought of his injured father lying in bed, and the slap Liu He gave his father that day. In this cruel world where the strong are respected, if you want to protect your loved ones, strength is king.
"Disciple wants to stay!" Lin Chen suddenly said.
"Are you sure?" Dugujian asked.
"OK!" Lin Chen looked firm.
"If you are sure, there will be no regrets. No matter life or death, I will not help you. I wish you good luck!" Dugu Jian's tone was calm, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth inadvertently.
Soon!
Dugu Jian's figure flashed and disappeared from the sword tower.
Outside the sword tower!
Dugu Jian stood up and appeared, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and smiled as if facing the void: "Haha, Mr. Yun, you came in time!"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Dugu Yun appeared.
"The person who can make the Nine Dragon Bells ring in unison is this little guy, right?" Dugu Jian asked with a smile.
"Asking even though you know it." Dugu Yun rolled his eyes.
"Haha, you hide it so well. I must have hidden the Shenhu inheritance from you, right? You really have good intentions." Dugu Jian said with a smile.
"Come on, there's no need to beat around the bush and hurt me." Dugu Yun looked sulky and said seriously: "Although I don't question his talent, is it really appropriate for you to send him to the sword tower in such a hurry? Don't forget that he is in this sword tower.
How many geniuses have died, even you entered the tower with a spiritual martial arts level back then, but now that his cultivation level is still shallow and his will needs more training, is it a bit dangerous for you to be demanding with him now?"
"The martial arts he follows is completely different from ours. I can't give him the clearest path to martial arts. He has to choose and walk his own path!" Dugu Jian said with a meaningful smile: "What's more, he can ring the Nine Dragons.
Zhong, do you always think that a person who has inherited the soul of the divine tiger will be so simple? If he can't even pass this level, the talent God gave him will be in vain!"
"You are more ruthless than me!" Dugu Yun glanced at it, put his hands behind his hands and sighed: "When you enter the sword tower, life or death depends on your fate. Whether you can understand it or not depends on his luck."
"Let's wait and see what happens." Dugu Jian smiled slightly, and he was optimistic about Lin Chen in his heart.
now!
Inside the sword tower, it was empty, leaving only Lin Chen and an illusory sword soul.
Although it was just a sword soul, his face was blurry, but there was only a pair of sharp eyes, as bright as a sword, very sharp. He stared straight at Lin Chen as if he were looking at a dead person.
pressure!
Despite the infinite pressure and mental intimidation, the fear deep in Lin Chen's heart was still unearthed.
"Fear? Why should I be afraid? Is it because I am stronger than me that I have to be afraid? No! I must overcome the fear in my heart!" Lin Chen gritted his teeth. Although he had tried his best to restrain himself, the instinctive fear was still suppressed.
Can't live.
There was no way, the mental deterrent released by the sword soul was too strong, making Lin Chen feel as helpless as an ant facing the roaring sea, unable to raise any fighting spirit at all.
And this time!
The mighty figure of the sword soul has already begun to take action. When the sharp sword eyes opened, it was like an invisible sword, piercing Lin Chen's mind.
"Uh!? That feeling..." Lin Chen's face was filled with fear. Under the pressure of the absolutely overwhelming strength and momentum, Lin Chen could not control his trembling. His whole body was limp and his sword was unsteady. If it weren't for the fact that he was still wearing a
Proud, otherwise Lin Chen would have to kneel down on the spot.
Phew!~
A ray of sword energy came out instantly, like a flash in the pan, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
But at that moment, Lin Chen didn't see clearly how the sword spirit took action, and he felt the fear of death that brought endless despair, as if there was a devil's claw pulling him down the abyss and into the hell of death.
"No!~"
Lin Chen's mind went blank and fell into the darkness of endless despair.
This feels like a moment, but also like permanent death.
In a trance, Lin Chen's consciousness returned to reality again. There was still no change in the surroundings, and the majestic shadow of the sword soul was still floating faintly. But the feeling of death was still very real.
"Huhu~~"
Lin Chen's face was pale, and he was sweating profusely. What Dugu Jian said was absolutely correct. Although the soul of the sword would not directly kill people, it would slowly destroy a person's martial arts will. In severe cases, the soul would be scattered, while in light cases, the soul would become possessed.
Lin Chen gasped, tried his best to keep his mind calm, and shouted at the mighty figure of the sword soul: "Come again! This time, I won't be afraid of you anymore!"
The sword soul seemed to have some willpower. Feeling Lin Chen's ignorant provocation, the pressure of the released momentum strengthened again. It stretched like a tide and was as vast as the sea. It rolled and oppressed Lin Chen and severely shocked Lin Chen's mind.
.
Lin Chen thought that his mind was firm enough, but under the pressure of that powerful momentum, the fear in his heart was uncontrollably aroused. Suddenly his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out, and his whole body was shaking.
Fear! Fear!
The feeling of despair deepened again, stimulating Lin Chen's mind and paralyzing Lin Chen's body. Under the feeling of fear and despair, Lin Chen once again lost his will to resist and thought of death.
Phew!~
With another flick of the sword, Lin Chen screamed and fell into the dark hell.
He was confused and awakened from "death" again. Still unchanged, the sword soul stood proudly, untouchable, unshakable, and filled with a frightening oppressive momentum.
"Huhu!~"
Lin Chen was breathing too heavily. Although death is not real, it is just an extreme fear in the soul. But this kind of fear is like a seed. As long as you are afraid, it will take root in your mind.
Every time he feels the fear of death, it will be deeply imprinted in Lin Chen's heart.
In other words, if Lin Chen cannot truly overcome his inner fear, this fear will become stronger and deeper, until his belief in martial arts is completely destroyed. This is a very cruel and terrifying mental temper.
"Come again!~"
Lin Chen roared, his eyes red.
Outside the sword tower!
Dugu Yun shook his head and said: "Anger will only make people lose their minds and prevent them from truly overcoming fear. This little guy has already gone astray. It will not be good if he goes any further!"
"Haha, he is someone you value, why don't you believe him so much?" Dugu Jian smiled, his eyes were so deep that even Dugu Yun couldn't guess what Dugu Jian was thinking.
"Oh~ I just think it's a little cruel." Dugu Yun sighed. Dugu Yun, who has always had a hot temper, actually had the word "cruel" in his mouth.
"Which truly strong man has not gone through countless cruel lives and deaths? If he wants to follow the path of a strong man, he has to be even more cruel to himself!" Dugu Jian said with his hands behind his back, recalling the past carefully. How could he be like that back then?
Isn't it so cruel?
Inside the sword tower!
Phew!~
Another sword strike, invisible, and it felt like the sword soul hadn't even moved. The fear of death once again impacted Lin Chen's mind and will.
"Ah!~"
Lin Chen screamed, struggled desperately, and fell into the abyss of hell.
next moment!
Lin Chen woke up again, his eyes became as red as blood, and his anger became more intense, and he shouted: "Come again! You are just a dead person! I will not be afraid of you! Come on! Come on!"
Phew!~~
The ruthless sword struck again, seeming to pierce his heart.
No matter how angry Lin Chen was, the feeling of fear never dissipated. Instead, it became stronger and stronger in his heart. It went back and forth in a death cycle, torturing him almost to the point of going crazy.
Once again, sober!
Lin Chen's face showed blue veins, he was extremely furious, his eyes were flashing with blood, he was swinging his sword wildly, and he yelled with a ferocious look: "Come on! You damn beast! I am a living person! How can I be afraid of your death?"
spirit!"
Dugu Yun shook his head again and sighed: "If this continues, he will be tortured crazy! Do you really have the patience?"
"At this point, fear has been deeply buried in his heart, and a shadow barrier has been created in his heart. Do you always think that he still has a way out?" Dugujian sighed, and then said: "Of course, if he can overcome the fear in his heart,
, his state of mind will become extremely powerful, and his understanding will become stronger in the future, so that he can understand a higher level of swordsmanship! I have paved a road for him. Although this road is full of thorns, this is the real strength.
The only path that must be taken by all those who want to succeed is to keep moving forward bravely, and there is no turning back!"
"Yes, what he has chosen now is a path of no return, a path of martial arts filled with death!" Dugu Yun sighed.
"Well, this is the path he chose. No one can help him. If he wants to get rid of the fear in his heart, he can only free himself and save himself!" Dugu Jian said in a deep tone.
Is it life or death?
Powerless and helpless, Dugu Jian and the two had no choice but to wait and see what would happen.
