Facing this sword cultivator who could kill Huangshi Patriarch, Fang Ruhui's face showed a look of horror for the first time.
But Liang Yan didn't give him any time to think about it. After blocking the Crescent Moon Zen Staff with the Wugou Demon Statue, he jumped up high and flew a little in the air with one hand. His sword energy surged up like a sea and instantly swept away the surprised Fang Ruhui.
Got into it.
I saw the sea of clouds billowing in the mid-air, and the sword energy was like a rainbow!
Fang Ruhui was swallowed up by Liang Yan's sea of swords, and then thought of the Wugou demon statue he had just seen, with a look of deep fear in his eyes.
At this moment, a wave hit, and countless sword energy swarmed in, forcing Fang Ruhui to turn around and get out of the way.
However, just as he dodged this round of attacks, the green sword light flashed in the wave, and it turned out that the Mayfly Sword Pill was hidden in the sea of swords. At this time, it was less than thirty feet in front of Fang Ruhui, facing towards him.
Cut him off with a sword.
Fang Ruhui entered Taoism with martial arts and was full of true energy. Facing this fatal sword, he clapped his hands with one hand, and his true energy instantly surged out and turned into a long blazing sword, slashing towards the sword's light.
Zheng!
The swords met and a powerful aura erupted, shaking away all the surrounding clouds and tides.
Fang Ruhui relied on the force of the counter-shock to jump back, trying to get out of the sword light, but the surrounding sea of clouds had been "turned into a sword" by Liang Yan. At this time, the tide rolled, and waves hit one after another, forming a
A whirlpool of sword sea was created, shrouding his figure inside.
In addition, there are four sword pills, namely Mayfly, Purple Thunder, Black Lotus, and Dingguang, hidden in the tide of the sword sea. They attack Fang Ruhui at tricky angles every time, especially when he uses old and new moves.
Before he was born, the four sword pills fired at the same time, causing Fang Ruhui to be in danger several times.
That is to say, the crescent moon Zen staff in the hands of this great monk is of extraordinary quality. Every time it resists Liang Yan's flying sword, it is not damaged at all. Coupled with his self-created skills, it flashes and moves in the sky full of sword light and the sword sea tide.
He actually didn't show any sign of defeat.
However, the longer the two of them fought, the more confused Fang Ruhui became.
The opponent was a sword cultivator who had killed Huangshi Ancestor before, so he must have a powerful trump card in his hand. Although he and I were now evenly matched, there was no guarantee that he would not use that trump card as time went by.
And once that time comes, it will be a fight to the death between the two sides.
The opponent had killed Huangshi Ancestor before. Fang Ruhui really had no confidence in whether he could resist it.
What's more, this is only the second floor. If we fight this person now and lose both sides, we will inevitably be missed by others, and then the gains will not be worth the losses.
Although Fang Ruhui is known as a "martial arts idiot", he is not a fool. He thought over and over again, his face changed several times, and finally made up his mind.
He poured his true energy into the Zen staff in his hand, and suddenly snapped it forward. The powerful force shattered the void, and temporarily created a great avenue to the sky in the vast sea of swords in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Ruhui stepped on the cloud waves, walked on the waves, passed through the temporarily blocked avenue, and jumped out of the sea of swords in a few jumps.
Liang Yan saw this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
He did not expect that under this difficult situation, Fang Ruhui could still find a way to solve it. In addition to being amazed, he felt a hint of admiration in his heart.
However, admiration is admiration. The two of them have different positions. At this time, they not only have to decide the winner, but even life and death.
He didn't think much, raised his sword light, and chased forward. The vast sea of swords was at his feet, like a wave from the sky, lapping in the direction of Fang Ruhui.
"Fellow Taoist, stop!"
Fang Ruhui suddenly shouted loudly, causing Liang Yan, who was chasing, to frown slightly.
A closer look revealed that Fang Ruhui had already retreated outside the valley.
Liang Yan's thoughts whirled and he waved his hand to suppress the surrounding sword light. However, he did not immediately dissipate the magical power. Instead, he asked with a vigilant face: "Now that the matter is over, what else do you want to say, fellow Taoist?"
Fang Ruhui stood on the wooden stake outside the valley, with a calm face, clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist chant, and said calmly:
"You and I are fighting for the key to the next level. I am convinced by my fellow Taoist's magical powers. I will give you this first key."
"Um?"
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise first flashed in his eyes, and then a look of suspicion appeared.
He had a battle with Fang Ruhui, and the winner has not yet been determined. The opponent used martial arts to enter Taoism, and he was full of energy. He tried various methods, but he still couldn't defeat the enemy.
It can be said that the strength of the two is about the same, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
But now, one of them actually surrendered and gave up the key to the next level. This made Liang Yan unable to figure it out. He even secretly suspected Fang Ruhui's intentions and whether there was some vicious plan waiting for him.
Of course, he could not have imagined that the reason that prompted Fang Ruhui to admit defeat was actually the "Innocent Puppet" he had just sacrificed.
It can only be said that Fang Ruhui's knowledge was too broad, and he recognized the origin of the "Wugou Puppet", and therefore misjudged Liang Yan's methods.
Liang Yan naturally couldn't guess the twists and turns, but the opponent's strength was comparable to his own. If he wanted to decide the outcome, there would have to be a fierce battle, which was not what he wanted.
Now that the opponent has taken the initiative to admit defeat, although he can't figure out the reason, it is impossible for him to press forward step by step.
"Since Fellow Taoist is willing to give up the key, it would be disrespectful for Liang to refuse." Liang Yan stared at Fang Ruhui in the distance and said with a wary look on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, please excuse me."
After saying this, Fang Ruhui turned back and jumped dozens of wooden stakes one after another until he was already a hundred feet away from the entrance of the valley. Then he sat cross-legged on a wooden stake with his eyes slightly closed.
Liang Yan saw this scene from a distance and felt a little more convinced.
"Looking at the appearance of this great monk, it seems that he really doesn't want to compete with me for the key!"
Although Liang Yan was a little curious, this was not the time to ask questions. What he wanted to do was get the keys and clearance rewards and quickly enter the next level.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan turned around, dispersed the tide of sword energy, took back the "Wugou Puppet" and the four sword pills, stepped on the wooden stakes and iron chains under his feet, and returned to the middle of the valley.
At this moment, the only person in front of him was the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi in the pavilion.
"It seems that if you two fight, your Excellency will win in the end."
The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi had been watching on the wall just now, naturally taking in everything. When he saw Liang Yan coming, he couldn't help but smile.
"It was just a fluke."
Liang Yan had no expression on his face and said calmly: "On the other hand, Your Excellency, as a gatekeeper at this level, you don't do the assessment carefully and prefer to provoke other people's fights while you just sit back and watch. What are your intentions?"
"Haha, fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. Tianji Pavilion has long disappeared in the long river of history, and we have long since lost the obligation to assess. Now we are just lonely ghosts in this Thousand Ji Demon Tower, just for ourselves.
And live......"
The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi's face was always as calm as water. At this time, he smiled slightly and said: "I am quite idle. I just like to have some fun and pass this boring and long time. But if you continue to go up, then go up to the third floor.
The guy is different."
"What do they want?" Liang Yan frowned slightly.
"I've said enough."
The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi shook his head and said: "The right to choose is yours. Now that you have received the reward for completing the level, it is a wise choice to exit the Thousand Magic Tower immediately. But if you want to continue going up, I can also enter the next level for you."
The key to the layer.”
"No need to say more, just give me the key." Liang Yan said without hesitation.
"All right........."
The scholar in Tsing Yi sighed, with a trace of regret on his face.
He pulled the fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line shrank, and the end was pulled up from the sea of clouds, and a stone fish was hanging there.
Although it was a stone fish, its eyes were wide open and its mouth was holding the hook. It looked very alive, as if it was really caught by the scholar because of his greed.
"take it."
The scholar in green swung the fishing rod, and the stone fish flew out of the air, landed in front of Liang Yan, and was caught by him.
"Is this it..."
Liang Yan played with the little stone fish in his hand and felt a powerful spatial fluctuation coming from the fish's belly. It was very similar to the key he got in the machine city before. It seemed that it was indeed the key to enter the next level.
"By the way, there are also rewards for completing the level."
The Confucian scholar in green smiled slightly, raised his hand and cast a spell, which went straight into the bronze cauldron in the middle of the valley.
Just now, this bronze cauldron was the battlefield for a battle of wits between Liang Yan and Fang Ruhui. The two sides used the smoke and precious gas above the cauldron as a medium to engage in a different kind of battle.
At this moment, the bronze cauldron received a magic trick from a Confucian scholar, and the fire under the cauldron was instantly strong. Not long after, a crisp sound of "bang" was heard, the lid of the cauldron furnace was opened, and a colorful glow flew out from the furnace.
.
Liang Yan was well prepared, and before the Confucian scholar could speak, he jumped up and grabbed this colorful ray of light in his hand.
"This is your reward for passing the level, the Five Elements Pill." The voice of the scholar in green came slowly from the pavilion.
"Five Elements Pill..."
Liang Yan murmured, lowered his head and took a closer look at the palm of his hand, and saw a pill the size of a broad bean wrapped in the colorful glow.
There are five colorful cloud patterns on the surface of the elixir, which are gold, green, blue, red and yellow, which seem to represent the five elements of spiritual power.
"What does this elixir do?" Liang Yan asked calmly.
"The Five Elements Pill condenses the essence of the Five Elements. After taking it, you can repair and improve your spiritual roots, but this is only one of its functions..."
When the Confucian scholar in green said this, he changed the topic and continued: "For monks at the peak of Tongxuan, the Five Elements Pill also has a more important role, that is, there is a certain chance of obtaining the induction of heaven and humans in advance."
"Get the feeling from heaven and being in advance?"
Liang Yan's face changed slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Haha, how could I lie to you? This Five Elements Pill is an ancient pill recipe left behind by Tianji Pavilion. Among the three peak masters on this level, I am the only one who is good at refining this pill, and there is only one pill in each furnace!
After you, even if there are others who pass the test, they can only get the key, but not the Five Elements Pill."
After listening to what the Confucian scholar in Qingyi said, although Liang Yan remained calm on the surface, he was no longer calm inside.
He traveled thousands of miles and took huge risks to come to this Thousand Machine Demonic Tower, wasn't it just to obtain the induction from heaven and man, so as to break through the bottleneck of the Tribulation Realm?
I didn’t expect that there are pills that can achieve this effect!
But think about it, the Thousand Ji Demon Tower is originally the testing ground for the core disciples of Tianji Pavilion. Judging from the restrictions in the tower, the cultivation level of these core disciples will not exceed the peak of Tongxuan, so this clearance reward is also the right medicine.
, specially reserved for these disciples who are stuck at the peak of Tongxuan.
It can only be said that Tianji Pavilion is worthy of being an ancient sect, and it can actually refine this kind of elixir. As the master of Bihai Palace, Liang Yan has also checked a lot of information. Even with the background of Wushuang City, he has not found any information about the "Five Elements elixir".
"description of.
However, just when Liang Yan's thoughts were changing, the scholar in Qingyi's next words poured cold water on him again.
"Don't be too happy too early. As I said before, there is a certain probability that the Five Elements Pill will allow the user to receive the telepathy from heaven and humans in advance, but this probability is not high. You may not be the lucky one. And refining this pill,
It takes a full ten days, and there must be no interference from the outside world during this period, otherwise it is very likely to fail."
After Liang Yan heard this, the excitement in his heart gradually faded away, and he turned to a thoughtful look.
"It turns out that the Five Elements Pill has so many restrictions... If I swallow the pill now, after ten days, others may have entered the fifth level, and I have not obtained the heavenly being.
Induction, wouldn’t that be a failure?”
Liang Yan's mind was spinning and he thought to himself: "Looking at it this way, I still can't stop here...and just having a pill is not safe. I must find a way to get the 'Reincarnation Fruit', and with that The ghost-hand scholar exchanges for a place to enter the 'rebirth pool'. In this way, one of the two methods can help me break through the bottleneck."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan did not hesitate anymore and temporarily put the Five Elements Pill into the Taixu Gourd. He bowed his hand to the scholar in blue in the pavilion and said, "Thank you for the gift. Liang will go to the next floor now and say goodbye." !”
"Haha, I'm sorry to see you off so far." The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi waved his hand, and suddenly his interest waned. He no longer looked at Liang Yan, but lowered his head and fiddled with his fishing rod.
As for Liang Yan, he raised his hand and cast a spell, first retracting the "Wugou Demon Statue" and the four sword pills into the Taixu Gourd, and then the spiritual power from his body surged out, pouring it all into the stone fish in his palm. .
With the help of his spiritual power, the stone fish's originally dull eyes actually started to move. Then the fish's tail swung and flew into the air, as if it was swimming freely in the water, slowly circling Liang Yan three times.
After three rounds, the glow around Liang Yan shone brightly, and a powerful force of space surged out, causing the nearby void to begin to twist and deform.
The glow grew stronger and stronger, like a blazing sun piercing through the heavy clouds and mist.
This state only lasted for less than a breath. After a breath, the glow dissipated and Liang Yan's figure had disappeared.
And the stone fish seemed to have exhausted its strength and turned into a pile of lime, falling from the air...
