As soon as Yang Ye stepped onto the twenty-first floor, he saw an old man looking at him with a smile. There were no wrinkles on the old man's face. Judging from his face, it was easy to say that he was middle-aged. It was just that the old man's white beard that reached his chest was different from the old man's.
His head full of snow-white hair betrayed his age.
The old man looked at Yang Ye and smiled kindly, like the spring breeze.
"Is this my opponent?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Yang Ye was a little confused. With his preconceived notions, Yang Ye originally thought that this floor also belonged to a sword slave, but unexpectedly an old man appeared, and the old man's expression was a little too human.
"Yes, with the strength of the ninth-grade Xuanzhe to get here, you and that girl are both very good!" Just when Yang Ye was confused, the old man spoke.
"You..." Yang Ye's eyes were wide and he said in disbelief: "You can speak?"
The old man nodded with a smile and said: "I know you are weird, but I don't have time to explain anything else to you. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to go any further."
Hearing this, Yang Ye ignored the doubts and shock in his heart and asked: "Why?"
"Because the twenty-first level is already the limit below the innate level!" The old man explained: "The fact that you can reach this level with the strength of the ninth-level Xuanzhe is enough to prove your talent and potential. After you go out, the Sword Sect will focus on cultivating you.
.As for the difficulty of this level, it is no longer something you can resist."
Yang Ye was silent for a long time, and then said: "Senior, I know you are telling the truth, but I still want to ask, can I give it a try?" For Yang Ye, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to constantly improve himself.
He didn't want to give up the opportunity.
Looking at Yang Ye's determined expression, the old man smiled and said: "You are just like that girl back then, eager to fight. But I want to tell you that the difficulty of this level is beyond your imagination. You have to know that back then,
That girl's talent and strength are much better than yours, but at this level, she still hasn't persisted."
Yang Ye knew who the girl the old man was talking about was. If the other party could get here, her talent and strength would definitely not be weaker than his, but he didn't care. He had no intention of competing with anyone, he just wanted to fight.
So he still said firmly: "Senior, junior still want to give it a try!"
The old man sighed and said: "I knew you wouldn't give up. Let me tell you the difficulty of this level first. You can decide whether to give up. This level is no longer a sword slave fighting with you, this level is a sword slave."
In this sword formation, every five breaths there will be qi swords transformed from hundreds of profound energies to attack you, and what you have to do is to hold on in this sword formation until these qi swords pose no threat to you."
"Junior wants to try it!" Yang Ye looked at the old man and said firmly.
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I haven't finished speaking yet. The power of this sword formation is secondary. The most important thing is that this sword formation is no longer an illusion, but a reality. In other words, if you are in this sword formation,
If you die in the formation, you are really dead!"
"No longer a phantom formation? If you die inside, you are really dead..."
Hearing this, Yang Ye was shocked. At this time, the old man's words kept lingering in his mind.
The old man continued: "I'm not lying to you. If you fail at this level, there will be no one like you in the world. The reason why I appear here is because I don't want the Sword Sect to lose a genius."
"Senior, did that person choose to continue the challenge?" Yang Ye asked in a deep voice.
The old man knew who Yang Ye was talking about, and immediately shook his head and said: "She did not choose to continue the challenge, because she knew that a hundred Qi swords every five breaths was definitely not something she could resist. Of course, it is not what you can do either.
Resistance. I can tell you clearly that her strength is much greater than yours!"
Yang Ye was silent. This time he hesitated. If the sword formation was still a phantom formation, he would never hesitate, because he would not die. No matter how terrifying it was, it was just a phantom formation, so he would not be afraid. But
Now the old man told him that it was not an illusory formation, but a real sword formation, and it was a sword formation that surpassed the innate strong men and king-level mysterious beasts!
Yang Ye really hesitated.
At this moment, the old man waved his right hand, and a long sword, a scroll, and a mysterious armor appeared in front of Yang Ye. When Yang Ye was puzzled, the old man said: "If you choose to quit, this mysterious level
The high-grade spiritual sword, the high-grade Xuan-grade mysterious skills, and the high-grade Xuan-grade Xuanjia are all yours."
"Why?" Looking at the three treasures in front of him, Yang Ye asked in confusion. From the beginning, the old man in front of him seemed not to want him to continue the challenge. Moreover, the origin of the old man in front of him was also very mysterious. Why did he appear here?
And why did you give away three treasures just to make yourself give up?
The old man smiled and said: "I know what you are doubting. There are many things I can't tell you. I can only tell you that the reason why I stopped you is because I am a member of Jian Zong, and I don't want Jian Zong to lose a genius.
.You should also know that the Sword Sect really can’t afford to lose any geniuses now!”
Hearing this, Yang Ye was silent. For a long time, his eyes fell on the three treasures, and the hesitation in his eyes was extremely obvious.
Yang Ye was really hesitant now. Two voices appeared in his mind. One voice said: "Of course, take it and leave. Why are you hesitating? Only a fool would risk his life to break into that terrifying sword formation."
Do it. If you go out now, not only can you become famous in the Sword Sect, but you can also get three Xuan-level treasures. How cost-effective is this? Why are you hesitating?"
Another voice objected: "Of course don't take it. What martial arts requires is a fearless heart. If you give up on continuing to challenge in the face of unknown difficulties and treasures today, then your martial arts heart will be weak."
, when you encounter difficulties in the future, you will choose to retreat..."
At this time, the first voice interrupted the second voice and said: "Is this shrinking? Facing an opponent that cannot be defeated, is this shrinking? This is knowing the current affairs, and let's not say whether we can pass the sword formation.
, so what if you pass the sword formation? It's just that your strength has improved. But what if you can't pass it? Have you ever thought about your mother and sister? If you die, what will they do? Will the Liu family let them go?"
The second voice was silent. Obviously, his sister and mother were the most important in Yang Ye's heart.
The old man on the side looked at Yang Ye with a smile and said nothing, but occasionally a strange light flashed in his eyes.
After a long time, Yang Ye smiled and said: "Yes, if I die, what will happen to my sister and mother? For the sake of my sister and mother, I can't die, so..." Yang Ye said with his hand
He reached out to the three treasures in front of him, but Yang Ye didn't notice at this time. When he said these words, a trace of disappointment clearly flashed in the eyes of the old man next to him.
Just when Yang Ye's hand was about to touch the scroll, Yang Ye suddenly retracted his hand, then looked at the old man and said with a smile: "So, senior, I will continue to challenge!"
The old man was stunned for a while, and then he said in astonishment: "You, you want to continue the challenge?"
Yang Ye nodded, with no hesitation in his eyes, but only determination, saying: "The journey of martial arts is destined to be uneven. Without firm confidence and fearless courage, you will not be able to go far on the journey of martial arts!"
Hearing this, a flash of admiration flashed in the old man's eyes, and he asked again: "What about your sister and mother? If you die in the sword formation, what will they do? For the sake of your own martial arts and improvement of strength, is it right to ignore your relatives?
Too selfish?"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Senior, the strong are respected in the Southern Region. Only with strength can we control our own destiny and protect our family better. If I don't become strong, the lives of my sister and my mother will still be lost."
My own destiny will not be in my own hands after all. Moreover, if I use my sister and mother as an excuse for me to shrink back this time, then I will definitely use them as an excuse for me to shrink back when I face difficulties next time.
An excuse. So, I will continue to challenge!”
In fact, Yang Ye continued to challenge not to improve his strength. He wanted to kill his inner demons. Yes, when two voices appeared in his head, he knew that he actually had inner demons. The inner demons were not
Except that if his will is not strong and his martial arts spirit is wavering, it will definitely be a disaster for him.
If you want to completely get rid of your inner demons, then continue to challenge, because he was afraid after hearing the old man's words. Yes, the reason why he hesitated at that moment was actually because he was afraid. And he had been avoiding this fact, so he had this in his mind
There was that voice that made him flinch.
That voice was clearly his own illusion to cover up the fact that he was afraid. As for his sister, mother, or treasure, it was just an excuse.
The old man looked at Yang Ye, with unabashed admiration in his eyes, and said: "Everyone has inner demons, but many people either escape or succumb to their inner demons. Young man, you can kill the inner demons with a sword, that's good, that's very good.
Finally, congratulations, you passed the test." After saying that, the old man's body slowly dissipated like a sword slave, along with the three treasures.
"Sure enough, it's still an illusion, but this time the illusion is so real!" Yang Ye murmured in a low voice as he looked at the place where the old man disappeared.
When he decided to continue the challenge, his mind became much clearer and he thought of many questions. One of the questions was that the scene in front of him was still an environment, but he was not sure yet because the old man was too real! Now, looking at the old man
With those three treasures dissipating like sword slaves, he was sure.
Yang Ye took a deep breath, and then walked towards the stairs of the 22nd floor without turning his head. Now he was really fearless for the next challenge.
When Yang Ye arrived on the 22nd floor, everyone outside the tower was excited!
