This exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Because of the great radiance of the holy statue, the surrounding area was already as bright as day.
Therefore, the signs of shadow fading are easily caught by people.
It was obvious that the colors of the huge altar and icon began to fade, the edges of some solid buildings became blurred, and the patterns on the exterior of the altar became illusory, as if covered with a layer of gauze.
This scene is very familiar to the young lapels of the two departments.
This is clearly a sign that the projection is about to disappear.
"How is it possible? It shouldn't be, the time has not come yet!"
Some people exclaimed and questioned.
According to the experience summarized from previous projections, the existence time of the projection probably has a certain correspondence with the time from its appearance to its solidification.
The longer it takes to solidify, the longer it will exist.
According to their calculations, the projection may begin to fade only after dawn tomorrow at the earliest.
But now, it's clearly just dark.
Why did this projection disappear so quickly?
"This is unreasonable!"
someone said.
The little lapel next to him shook his head when he heard this: "Isn't the Holy Image Qi Hui also inconsistent with common sense? Our understanding of projection is still too shallow after all. The premature disappearance of the projection is most likely related to the Holy Image Qi Hui!"
The people below were talking a lot.
The heads of the two departments decisively ordered that, except for those fighting on the fourth floor, everyone else immediately began to move the guards in the altar and evacuate the students!
"Notify immediately, the monthly exam is over! All students retreat immediately! No delay!"
The two department chiefs took the order, rushed into the altar with loudspeaker equipment and began to broadcast the news.
For a time, the students on the first, second and even the third floor heard the sound and evacuated toward the exit.
…
Five floors.
The center of the altar is located.
Cheng Lin also discovered something unusual about the altar.
Just now, the entire altar suddenly had a surge of spiritual energy and a brilliant glow.
The movement was so loud that he could clearly feel it internally.
"Finally the alarm mechanism is turned on?"
Cheng Lin was extremely surprised when he saw this scene.
He knew about the lighting of the icon. This was a sign that the final alarm mechanism of the altar was activated. When the fifth floor was breached, such an alarm would be issued, but...
"The fifth floor has clearly not been breached! Why did the alarm turn on automatically?"
Cheng Lin was surprised and immediately searched through the center, but the answer he got was blank.
Yes, blank, it seems that some kind of force caused the altar's final alarm to be turned on in advance. As for the reason, it is impossible to find out.
This made Cheng Lin very puzzled.
But then, a new discovery made him no longer have time to think about this matter.
"The projection is going to disappear?"
Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes that the edges of the surrounding scenery began to blur and become transparent. He immediately recognized that this was a sign that the projection was gradually fading and was about to disappear.
He looked at the time and found that it faded much earlier than he expected.
"Is it related to the altar alarm mechanism being turned on?"
Cheng Lin immediately connected the two things.
He was suddenly surprised and happy. What surprised him was that this projection seemed a bit weird. What he was happy about was that the sooner the projection disappeared, the greater the possibility that he could obtain the center.
especially……
"The fourth floor is almost broken..."
Cheng Lin looked at the central crystal ball, which reflected the battle situation at the entire fourth-floor gate.
This battle has lasted for nearly an hour.
During this period of time, the battle between Shen Shanjing and the Knight Commander was victorious. The Knight Commander's strength was always extremely stable, but Shen Shanjing was erratic. Sometimes he lost strength and fell into a disadvantage, and sometimes he used small tricks to gain an advantage.
The battle between the two is no longer just a competition of strength, a competition for superpowers, but also a tug-of-war of wisdom... And the longer the time goes by, the more Cheng Lin's understanding of Shen Shanjing's strength increases.
He found that the head of the Ninth Division was indeed very extraordinary. He became more courageous with every setback, and his fighting power lasted for a long time. He clung to the knight commander, making it difficult for him to go back to the rescue.
This is enough to show the terror of its strength.
On the other side, the battle for the gatekeeping of the Glory Knights took a turn for the worse. As the two departments joined forces to attack, especially after Sun Wuyan, the leader of the Tenth Division, arrived, he joined forces with Huang Yin, two fourth-level experts, and led many small Lapel concentrated fire attacks and gradually differentiated. Gradually, the Radiant Knights began to suffer large-scale casualties, and even the hexagram was unable to recover in time.
By now, the defensive strength at the gate is in jeopardy. Of the thousand knights, only a few dozen are left struggling to hold on, guarding the gate, and seeing that the breakthrough is only a matter of seconds.
At this point, the Knight Commander of Glory finally had no choice but to forcefully return for reinforcements, even leaving the battle group at the cost of receiving a full blow from Shen Shanjing and returning to the Bronze Gate.
"Boom boom boom..."
As a wave of firepower covered the two departments, the last dozens of guards blocking the gate finally disintegrated in unison and shattered into parts. Only the six-core puppet was left in the Radiant Knights!
"Get ready to blast!"
When Huang Yin saw this, she was overjoyed and shouted immediately.
The morale of the junior leaders of the two divisions was also greatly boosted. After a hard battle, these guards were finally annihilated.
But at this moment, everyone only heard an inexplicable roar coming from afar, approaching quickly, and then saw a bright silver light flying from the distance like a meteor, falling straight outside the bronze gate, and thick fog rolled up. , the tall figure of the six-core puppet Knight Commander of Glory stood alone in front of the bronze gate.
The complicated patterns on the spear in his hand lit up, and his scarlet eyes scanned the entire scene.
When the momentum is fully unleashed, one man can stand in the way and no one can stop it!
Shen Shanjing's figure also came and joined the two companies.
Huang Yin said happily: "Chief Secretary!"
Shen Shanjing nodded and glanced at Sun Wuyan, the leader of the Tenth Division in the team. He didn't say much, but said quickly: "The projection is about to disappear. Everyone who is injured and whose strength is below the third level will retreat immediately. The rest, Come with me and attack!"
After a pause, he looked at the Glory Knight Commander and said, "I should have damaged his energy receiving device. If the energy supply is insufficient, no matter how powerful he is, he can only be a trapped beast!"
After hearing this, everyone in the Nine Divisions immediately followed the order and left.
"Secretary Sun..."
Shen Shanjing looked at the neighbor again, but hesitated to speak.
Sun Wuyan, the leader of the Tenth Division, kept his eyebrows unchanged and just waved his hand. After that, everyone in the Tenth Division retreated one after another, leaving only the third-rank and above personnel here. At this moment, the goals and interests of the two divisions were unified, and the conflicts were put aside for the time being.
"Okay! I'll contain him, and everyone will focus on attacking!"
Shen Shanjing said loudly, and then opened his golden body and rushed to the door, fighting with the glorious knight.
Countless superpowers from behind stretched like rain, falling on the Glory Knight one after another. Even so, he still did not take a step back. A spear danced like an airtight curtain, and no blow could penetrate his body. Defense network, endangering the fifth floor.
…
On the fifth floor, Cheng Lin tightly grasped the center with one hand, his eyes fixed on the battle situation at the door, and his heart was as tense as a bowstring.
The projection continues to fade.
Now it just depends on whether the door is opened first or whether the projection disappears first.
If it is the former, in order to avoid being seen by people from the two departments, Cheng Lin must give up the center and leave this floor through authorized teleportation before the door opens.
That also means that all this effort is in vain.
Naturally, he doesn't want to give up, but if something really cannot be done, he must make a decision immediately.
"It just depends on how long the knight commander can last..."
Cheng Lin murmured to himself.
The fifth floor is extremely peaceful.
The lights flickered, like a place outside the world.
Only the faint roar from behind the gate, like the continuous roar of artillery fire, made people's hearts tense.
One minute……
Two minutes...
five minutes……
The projection has faded and is about to break through the critical point between matter and illusion.
Outside the gate, the energy in the glorious knight commander's body has also declined to a precarious level.
His silver-white armor was dull and dull, and the pattern on the spear only had a faint glow flowing around it. It was like a broken holy weapon, but it held on to the defensive net without retreating at all.
"Try harder! He's going to die soon!"
"The last blow, the last blow!"
"kill!"
Shen Shanjing suddenly shouted loudly, gathered all his strength, and gathered all the fourth-grade and third-grade monks behind him to attack with all his strength, turning into a colorful divine light and bombarding the holy knight!
At this moment, the spiritual energy was finally exhausted, and the Paladin could only hurriedly raise his gun to block it!
But he could no longer resist. Countless cracks appeared on the silver armor all over his body, like broken porcelain, suddenly disintegrating!
The six-core knight has fallen!
Under this attack, the bronze door was overwhelmed, creaked, and was about to burst, revealing a five-story scene.
But at this moment.
Projection finally breaks through the critical point between matter and illusion.
The surrounding scenery suddenly faded in color again!
Completely turned into a shadow!
The expressions of Shen Shanjing and others changed. They felt that the solid floor beneath their feet disappeared instantly. Everyone appeared hundreds of meters in the air, and the altar around them turned into thin light and shadow.
"Open the umbrella!"
He shouted loudly.
All the little lapels who were stranded on the fourth, third and even second floors opened the military ultra-low-altitude parachutes they carried with them at this moment.
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
Countless umbrellas were opened, blown up by the wind, and the ropes were tightened. With the resistance of the parachutes, they slowly fell like dandelions under the night sky.
The moment before the projection completely faded into a phantom, which was also the moment when the door burst, Cheng Lin grabbed the center, put it into the initial space, and then used his authority to move downward through the teleportation array...
Four floors, three floors,...
When they reached the third floor, the projection disappeared and the transmission stopped. Cheng Lin appeared in a daze at a height of 100 meters. Then he blinked and saw Cao Wei floating in the air not far away with the same confused look on his face. The two looked at each other.
One glance, and then they all let out a cry of surprise and suddenly fell down.
"thump!"
"thump!"
In the night, amid the noise, there were two inconspicuous sounds, like boulders falling to the ground.
But the faded projection suddenly turned into a hazy light and shadow.
Suddenly it rose into the sky.
Seventy-two projections and seventy-two statues of gods around the world open their arms together.
Like Chang'e flying to the moon, like a saint ascending to the sky.
It turned into hazy and beautiful light and shadow, rose from the ground, rushed into the vast night sky, and disappeared after a moment.
