"There is no other way, don't take any chances."
The eight-armed sword ape shook his head and said with a serious face: "I don't know why you can control multiple flying swords, but as long as you reach the sword mind state, you can only have one flying sword, otherwise your sword mind will be confused and eventually misfire.
Being possessed by demons is an eternal and iron law!"
Seeing the serious look of the demon ape, Liang Yan's thoughts suddenly became confused.
Having practiced Taoism for more than two hundred years, he almost always makes a prompt decision when encountering anything, but today is different.
Because the natal flying sword involves the foundation of one's own path!
I went through all the obstacles and groped my way, but suddenly someone jumped out and said to you halfway, the path you took before was wrong and you had to destroy it and start over again. How could you accept this?
The most important thing is that this choice cannot be avoided!
To give up, or not to give up?
As long as you want to take a further step in the path of kendo, this question will have to be placed in front of you sooner or later!
"Hey, I know it's not easy for you to practice so many flying swords. Now it's really cruel for you to destroy these flying swords with your own hands. But you have to know that if you continue to break them, you will suffer chaos! Your flying swords will not count.
No matter how many there are, it is impossible to beat the master of Sword Heart. As long as you achieve Sword Heart, even one flying sword will be better than all your flying swords." The Eight-Armed Sword Monkey said earnestly.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice."
Liang Yan's eyes flickered for a few times, and he bowed his hand to the demon ape, but didn't say anything more.
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape looked at him and knew that although he didn't refute, he still couldn't let go of his own flying sword in his heart. He couldn't help but sighed and said: "That's all, old ape, I'll finish it here, maybe I'll wait for you."
Only when you touch the threshold of the sword's mind can you have some understanding."
After saying that, he raised his hand and the world of Jianxin suddenly disappeared.
Liang Yan slowly opened his eyes and found that his spiritual thoughts had returned to his body. He was still surrounded by high walls and there was a pond in front of him. The two of them were sitting cross-legged near the pond.
The eight-armed sword ape also opened his eyes.
It looked at Liang Yan, seeming a little regretful, but this trace of regret disappeared in an instant, and the next moment it smiled again.
"I have taught everything that needs to be taught. My way of swordsmanship was obtained from the human race back then, and now it is still with the human race. Sure enough, the way of heaven is cyclical, and it has its own destiny!"
"Senior is extremely talented and unparalleled. If he were not trapped in the Thousand Magic Tower, his future achievements would be limitless!" Liang Yan said sincerely.
"Haha, maybe."
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape smiled, then seemed to remember something, and slowly said: "Tianji Pavilion is a major sect of Confucianism, and has a deep understanding of the art of Qi Sect. An outsider like you has never studied Tianji Pavilion.
It is basically impossible to deduce the exit of the maze using magical means."
Liang Yan nodded and agreed with his words: "Senior is right, this maze is changing all the time. With my crude calculation skills, it is indeed difficult to find the exit."
"Actually, besides finding the exit, there is another way to get to the fifth floor."
"Oh? Is there any other way?" Liang Yan became interested and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape didn't give in, and then said: "It's actually very simple. As long as you find the gatekeeper on this level, you can ask him to send you to the fifth floor. Originally, the gatekeeper was at the exit of the maze.
, but since the changes on the fourth floor, he seems to have left his position, so what you have to do is to find him in the maze, defeat him, and then let him help you activate space teleportation."
"Gatekeeper."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment. Based on his experience on the previous floors, he knew that there would be gatekeepers on each floor, usually puppets left behind by the Tianji Pavilion.
"But the maze on the fourth floor is so big, it's not easy for me to find the gatekeeper." Liang Yan shook his head, obviously feeling that this method was not very helpful to him.
"Actually, it's not difficult to find that guy. You just need to search in the direction of the water." The Eight-Armed Sword Ape said with a slight smile.
"In the direction of the water?"
"That's right! The gatekeeper of this level is actually not a puppet, but a weapon spirit! It is the weapon spirit of the water magic weapon. Every time you encounter a fork in the road, just go in the direction with strong water spiritual power. In the end, it will definitely
We can find it!" the eight-armed sword ape said with great certainty.
Liang Yan was overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly thanked him:
"Thank you, senior, for your advice!"
He was sincerely grateful to the Eight-Armed Sword Ape, because the other person not only showed him the way to practice swordsmanship, but also showed him a clear way to pass the level.
Thinking that such a gifted demon ape would die trapped in such a place, Liang Yan couldn't bear it. He thought for a while and said: "Senior demon ape, why don't you come with me? I have two helpers. Then we will
How about I help you get the soul card back and everyone leave this place together?"
After listening to Liang Yan's suggestion, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape grinned and suddenly laughed.
A sense of desolation appeared in his eyes.
"Actually, I was already dead from the moment I drank the 'Moon Painting Water'. The reason why I have been holding on until now is probably to wait for you."
Having said this, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape slowly stood up from the ground.
"Although I am a demon clan, I am also a sword cultivator. The way a sword cultivator would die is definitely not like lingering and dying, and finally turning into a walking corpse!"
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded and slowly stood up from the ground.
His face was extremely solemn.
Although they had known each other for less than an hour, he felt that he could fully understand the Eight-Armed Sword Ape.
Sometimes a true heart-to-heart relationship may not take long, just a word or a look is enough.
"As the senior wishes, the junior will do his best, without reservation, and use the strongest killing move to send the senior on his way!"
"hehe."
The eight-armed sword ape smiled heartily and was very pleased.
The next moment, the aura on his body suddenly changed.
Although there is no strong power, there is a momentum, a momentum of "I will move forward with one sword despite the mountains of swords and seas of fire"!
It seems that at this moment, he is no longer the old Kuchiki ape who fought against the "Huiyue Shui" and whose edges were worn away by the long river of time, but a peerless demon ape who has returned to his prime, a swordsman who looks at the world!
"Liang Yan, be careful!"
The eight-armed sword ape grasped the eight "iron knots" in his hands respectively, as if he was holding a flying sword. He moved forward in an unstoppable manner, rushing towards Liang Yan like a shooting star.
There was no hesitation or hesitation in its steps, and its eyes were full of determination.
If there is anything besides determination, it is nostalgia and hatred.
Missing my former self
I hate myself now.
At this moment, Liang Yan looked at the charging monster ape with a complicated expression on his face.
He knew that the Eight-Armed Sword Ape's body was already at the end of its strength, and the attack of "Moon Painting Water" just now left his life hanging by a thread.
If the Eight-Armed Sword Ape chooses to seal itself and uses its last bit of strength to suppress the evil things in its body, it might be able to sit here for years or even decades.
But it chose not to do so.
The eight-armed sword ape met Liang Yan, who was also a sword cultivator, and chose to burn his last bit of strength, blooming like a firework to its final splendor, and then complete its end.
Liang Yan is not qualified to comment on its choice.
All he can do is respect.
"Human Sword Master Liang Yan, I respectfully send my senior off on his way!"
Facing the eight-armed sword ape that was already a candle in the wind, Liang Yan did not hold back at all. The power of the sword baby and the nine-turn golden elixir in his body were activated at the same time, and the spiritual power of the four major traditions was flowing like boiling water.
The four sword pills on the head: Zi Lei, Mayfly, Dingguang, and Black Lotus, began to tremble almost at the same time, and the clanging sword sounds were endless, as if they were performing a final sword salute to the opponent.
The next moment, four sword lights of purple, green, silver, and black burst out at the same time, like four gorgeous hazes piercing the sky!
In the gorgeous light, the eight-armed sword ape seemed to see his own reflection.
That was my young self, leaving my hometown, wandering alone, studying under teachers, studying hard, exploring and struggling all the way on the road of swordsmanship, but unfortunately the road has no limit, and it has not reached the end after all.
brush!
The next moment, four sword lights pierced the eight-armed sword ape's chest at the same time, and his running footsteps stopped at this moment.
"senior."
Liang Yan's eyes showed regret.
"Haha, there's no need to feel sorry for me."
At this time, the eight-armed sword ape fell to his knees on the ground, using only one arm to barely support his huge body. Although his face was pale and his forehead was sweating, he still endured the pain and grinned.
However, this smile is a little distorted.
"To die in a dignified manner by my opponent's sword is the best ending for me. I got this ability from the human race back then, and now I can return it to the human race. I'm so lucky! I'm so lucky."
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape's voice became weaker and weaker, and the breath in his body was disappearing rapidly. His eyelids drooped, like a candle in the wind that was about to be blown out.
However, the next moment, the eyelids that were about to close suddenly opened again, and his face became extremely serious.
"Careful! It's. It's. It's on the back of my head, ah!"
With a scream, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape's eyes widened, its head fell to the side, and finally it no longer breathed.
A great demon with extraordinary talent who had entered the realm of swordsmanship completely fell.
But Liang Yan didn't have time to remember him.
Because in his line of sight, behind the Eight-Armed Sword Ape's head and at the neck, a blood bag the size of a fist was rapidly swelling.
In just one thousandth of a breath, it had already swelled to the size of a human head. Then the blood bag burst open, and a huge black long worm sprang out from the monster ape's neck!
This long black worm is almost identical to the one previously found in the body of the "Drilling Rat", but it is more than five times larger in size and is as thick as a water tank. The mouth of the worm in front is open, revealing a row of sharp teeth.
Densely packed, there are thousands of them!
Its speed was extremely fast. As soon as it appeared, it flew straight towards Liang Yan's Tianling Cap.
At a distance of about a hundred feet, it only took one-tenth of a breath in front of the long black insect, and the next moment it rushed in front of Liang Yan.
At such a fast speed, I am afraid that no one among the ten geniuses can react.
However, Liang Yan was reminded by the Eight-Armed Sword Ape and was already prepared.
The moment he saw the blood bag bulging, he immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body, circulated the "Empty Phase of All Dharmas", and surrounded himself with a thick layer of Buddhist golden light.
boom!
As soon as the golden light took shape, the long black insect crashed into it.
The Buddhist spiritual power suddenly burst out and imprinted on the body of the strange insect, making a "sizzling!" sound, making its body twist and turn, and wisps of green smoke came out.
However, this black strange insect didn't seem to know the pain at all. It still lay on the golden light, trying desperately to get in even though the smoke was rising all over its body.
To be precise, he wanted to get into Liang Yan's body.
"It's you."
Liang Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and he pinched the sword in his hand urgently.
Four sword pills flew in at the same time, and the sword energy came out vigorously, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and the black long insect was involved in the storm of sword energy.
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"
As a series of strange screams sounded, the long black insect was cut into hundreds of pieces by the sword light.
But even if this was the case, Liang Yan was still worried.
The tragic situation of the Eight-Armed Sword Ape is still vivid in my mind. Although the black long insect has no power outside, once it gets into one's body, there is really no way to save it.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan did not immediately lose his magical power.
He covered his whole body with the Buddhist golden light of "Empty Phases of All Dharmas", and then continued to activate the sword technique. The sword light of the four sword pills suddenly surged, killing countless black monsters that had been chopped into hundreds of pieces.
all over.
It wasn't until the strange insect was chopped into pieces that Liang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The strange insect disappeared, and a strange black liquid flowed out of the eight-armed sword ape's body.
Liang Yan did not approach, but stood far away and bowed to the body of the Eight-Armed Sword Ape.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. Although senior is a demon clan, he is also someone I admire, Liang Yan."
After saluting, Liang Yan slowly turned around, returned to the door of the room, and opened the door again.
Rumble!
With a dull sound, the stone door opened, revealing the beautiful face outside.
As soon as Liang Yan came out, Wu Xin's face immediately burst into a smile. As for the trace of worry in her eyes, she hid it well.
"Brother, you are just a dying demon ape, why did it take you so long!"
"it"
Liang Yan paused for a moment, then sighed and said: "It is not a dying demon ape, but a swordsman who lives towards death."
After Wu Xin heard this, he was slightly startled.
She is a smart person. Although she doesn't understand what happened inside, she knows that Liang Yan's solemn look must have left a deep impression on him.
"The demon ape is now"
"already dead."
"What about you? You're not hurt, are you?" Wuxin looked at Liang Yan carefully.
"No."
Liang Yan shook his head, suddenly looked into Wu Xin's eyes, held her catkins in his hands, and said softly: "We two finally meet again, we must get out of here alive."
Feeling the warmth in his hands and Liang Yan's fiery eyes, Wu Xin felt a little sweet in his heart.
"Why do you say this suddenly?"
Wu Xin lowered his head, his cheeks slightly flushed.
"It's nothing. It's just that the road ahead is uncertain, strange and unpredictable. I don't want to be separated from you." Liang Yan's voice came slowly.
In fact, the reason why he said this was because the information he received from the Eight-Armed Sword Ape gave him a new understanding of this Thousand Machine Demonic Tower.
This place is far more dangerous than previously imagined.
Painted moon water, eternal life, container. And the mysterious fifth layer.
These unknown things are far beyond the capabilities of the top ten geniuses, and once they enter the fourth level, there is no way back.
What awaits them, is it chance or death?
Liang Yan didn't feel confident at all.
Just when he was in a state of mind, Wu Xin held his hand tightly.
A soft, boneless coldness spread from the palm of my hand.
"No matter what lies ahead, I will not be separated from you this time."
