Chapter five hundred and thirty-eight competition for places
"So stubborn!" Shangguan Qing'er's nose wrinkled slightly.
Judging from her experience, unless Su Yu's ancient bloodline is very special and can restrain the petrification energy, he will not be able to protect himself, let alone bringing someone with him?
But she couldn't watch Su Yu die, so she had no choice but to send them there herself.
Phew, the light and shadow flickered, and Shangguan Qing'er flew past her, trying to take them over.
This move touched the hearts of the entire audience, and everyone was awestruck.
Shangguan Qing'er really wants to take action!
As a result, there are only two left in the top five!
Zheng Zhijing looked worried and said in a low voice: "Brother, I'll go over first."
After receiving the nod of agreement from his senior brother Zhou Jin, Zheng Zhijing immediately took out a snow-white necklace from his arms. It seemed to be carved from some kind of strange wood. It exuded a cool breath and made people feel refreshed.
Putting it on his neck, Zheng Zhijing made seals with both hands. The long knife on his back came out of its sheath with a clang, and it grew in the wind, turning into a size of ten feet, floating at his feet.
With one foot, Zheng Zhijing jumped up, and the long knife carried him and turned into an afterimage and disappeared through the air.
That speed was not weaker than Qian Lixiang's at all, in fact, it was even faster.
"The secret skill of Yufeng Sect, sword control!" Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Yufengmen is good at controlling weapons, especially sword-controlling and sword-controlling skills. Retrieving a person's head from thousands of miles away is like picking up an object from a bag, so it is extremely fast!"
Knife skills? Su Yu still vividly remembers Zhou Jin's sword skills that were as fast as thunder and lightning. Ordinary people couldn't even see that he was moving, which shows how fast his movements are.
It is not unreasonable for this sect to be named Yufeng.
Shangguan Qing'er, who was about to lead Su Yu and the others out, stopped instead and waited quietly: "Let him pass first. The restrictions in the stone statue forest are very sensitive. The more people enter, the more people will appear."
The more ferocious the petrified insects are, there is no need to fight for them and put them in danger."
Looking around, it turned out that after Zheng Zhijing stepped out, no one else stepped into it rashly.
Zheng Zhijing's movement is extremely fast. Although it slows down greatly in the forest of stone statues, it seems to be slightly better than Qian Lixiang.
In just a few breaths, he successfully crossed one-third of the distance.
The insects behind him couldn't keep up with his movement skills, and the petrified air he breathed out was difficult to compete with.
Just as they were about to enter the central area, the petrified insect that had appeared before, twice the size of an ordinary insect, appeared as expected.
As soon as he opened his mouth and blew out, like a volcano erupting, a large amount of petrified gas rose into the sky, completely blocking the road ahead.
How similar is this scene to the scene that happened to Chirika before?
The difference is that Zheng Zhijing did not retreat, but the true energy in his body surged outwards. It was not condensed into body-protecting true energy, and there was no defense on his body.
Instead, he instilled the true energy into the necklace on his neck. Suddenly, a snow-white air flow appeared in the shape of water waves and slowly spread out in all directions.
The snow-white air flow is so special that even those far above the Divine Bird Platform suddenly feel a cool feeling in their souls.
The spirit is refreshed and the fatigue is gone, which is very strange.
What's even more surprising is that wherever the snow-white air flow passes, the petrified air actually disperses on its own!
This scene surprised many people again.
The ferocious gas of petrification ignores any object. What kind of divine object is that snow-white necklace? It seems to have a great restraint effect on the gas of petrification!
With some excitement in his eyes, Zheng Zhijing passed through the wall of retreating petrified air and quickly stepped into the central area.
Hiss——
Like a group of snakes neighing, his step seemed to disturb countless petrified people.
As the mist rolled in, a bug that was three times the size of the normal one led a dozen bugs, and together they looked up to the sky and spewed petrifying gas.
Although it was twice as petrified, it was still okay to say that the petrified air that was sprayed out disappeared as quickly as spring snow melting under the snow-white air flow.
But that petrified insect, which was three times the size of an ordinary insect, sprayed out petrified gas that was extremely dense, almost liquid, and had a very deep color.
When the snow-white air flow sweeps through, it only slows down the spread of the petrified air, and does not suppress it too much!
Zheng Zhijing's face suddenly became solemn, and he did not dare to show any slightness. Taking advantage of the petrified air to freeze for a moment, his figure was like the wind, passing through a narrow gap in the light screen, crossing the central area in a very dangerous way.
In a moment, he crossed the central area and experienced a full two-thirds of the area.
Such an astonishing result caused the geniuses of Shenque Terrace to exclaim in surprise.
"In the past, very few people have been able to reach this point. Zheng Zhijing is much more powerful than expected." Someone exclaimed, their eyes fixed on Zheng Zhijing in the mist.
In the last third of the area, Zheng Zhijing took a deep breath and tried to pass through it in one breath.
But, at this moment, in the mist, a stone statue that had been standing for a long time actually moved!!
Ever since everyone arrived at the Bird Tower, they had noticed the stone statue at the end of the forest of stone statues.
Compared with ordinary stone statues, they were even taller and taller. They once thought they were some powerful genius who had died with regret.
However, since it is a stone statue, there cannot be any movement!
Shangguan Qing'er rarely showed a hint of concentration: "Has he finally appeared? The king of petrified insects! Whether he can cross the stone forest depends on this insect to a large extent!"
Is the King of Petrified Insects the female insect?
The spiritual liquid she secretes can eliminate the power of petrification, and is also the key to Shengge's physical body again.
However, its size is truly terrifying.
Even a petrified insect that is three times the size of an ordinary insect is only as thin as a wrist, but this insect king is taller than ordinary humans!
It’s hard to imagine what form the petrifying air she sprays will take!
squeak--
The huge petrified stone shook once, and a sharp scream came from its mouth.
Suddenly, the entire forest of stone statues was covered by a breath of petrification at the same time!!
The faces of the geniuses on the Divine Bird Platform changed drastically, and they all retreated, looking at everything in the forest in horror.
Let the entire stone statue forest fall into a state of petrification at will?
Moreover, with the Insect King as the center, a large area of lime-colored liquid erupted in an explosive manner!
The overwhelming posture made it impossible to defend.
No matter which angle you look at, you will be sprayed.
Zheng Zhijing's face was also tense, and a liquid was spraying towards him.
These liquids are not real liquids, but liquid petrified gas!!
The petrification gas contained in it is a hundred times stronger than ordinary petrification gas. Not to mention being sprayed, even if it comes within three feet, it will immediately turn into stone sculptures.
Moreover, it is said that creatures that have been petrified by the Insect King himself have no possibility of recovery.
In other words, if you reach within three feet, you will die!
At the critical moment, Zheng Zhijing's heart was beating wildly, but he did not dare to neglect in the slightest. He ripped off the snow-white necklace from his neck and crushed it on the spot.
There was a muffled pop sound, and the sound turned into snow-white powder all over the sky, flying around Zheng Zhijing.
When the petrified gas of the liquid encountered the snow-white powder, it was immediately absorbed like water entering flour, and the trend was greatly slowed down.
At the cost of giving up this necklace, Zheng Zhijing finally got a precious chance. His figure flashed continuously, and he crossed this place extremely carefully avoiding the liquid petrification gas.
Amid the frightened roar of the Insect King, he successfully passed through the stone forest and reached the shore.
It was an altar similar to the Divine Bird Terrace, so it was safe and worry-free.
Zheng Zhijing's face turned pale, he was panting, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
It was at this moment that his palms began to tremble. They had been in complete nervous tension before, but now they relaxed and began to tremble involuntarily.
Thinking back to the two narrow escapes from death, Zheng Zhijing couldn't help but turn pale.
Feeling the solid ground under my feet, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly: "Hahaha... I succeeded!"
Only a few people have passed through it in the past, and Zheng Zhijing is indeed something to be proud of.
Witnessing this miraculous scene on the Shenque Stage, I felt mixed emotions, including shock, fear, unwillingness, and depression.
"Yes, it took twenty breaths." Baiyi Jian finally showed a smile on his face.
Shangguan Qing'er sighed softly: "It's a pity about that necklace. It is a soul defense necklace. It is the rarest type among many magic weapons. The value of that necklace is probably not much worse than ordinary semi-finished spiritual weapons."
Su Yu listened and nodded secretly in his heart. Indeed, from the observation just now, Zheng Zhijing relied on the soul defense magic weapon to successfully break through.
"Since junior brother has passed, it's Zhou's turn." Zhou Jin laughed and took off the black sword from his back for the first time and held it in his palm.
His figure was like the wind, and he stepped out in one step.
At its speed, reaching one-third of the area is just a piece of cake.
Soon, the petrified insect, which was twice the size of the ordinary insect, appeared as expected.
However, before he could spit out the petrifying energy, the black knife in Zhou Jin's hand flashed with light, and he accelerated through it instantly and arrived at the central area.
The petrified insect, which was three times the size of a normal insect, was not so easy to pass through. It opened its mouth and sprayed out a large amount of petrified air, which was extremely dense.
This time, there was no gap left for Zhou Jin.
But Zhou Jin was not afraid and actually swung the black knife in his hand down in the air.
A sword energy that was difficult to discern with the naked eye penetrated the clouds and mist.
This was clearly an attack on the material level, but the dense petrified energy actually created a huge gap.
Su Yu raised his eyebrows: "What a powerful sword technique, it already contains some soul attack."
Shangguan Qing'er lightly nodded her chin: "This is Yufengmen's soul-cutting sword technique. After practicing to a certain level, the sword technique will contain some soul attacks, which is very difficult for people of the same level."
Indeed, it is already very difficult for ordinary people to deal with such tyrannical and thunderous sword skills. If there is another unstoppable soul attack, even if it causes a slight loss of consciousness or a flaw, it will be equivalent to drawing the symbol of death.
Zhou Jin was so strong that he easily reached the last third of the area.
The Insect King, who was already furious, let out a long roar and sprayed out a large amount of liquid fossilized gas, splashing all over the sky and blocking all angles in front of Zhou Jin.
