274. This script seems a little different from what I imagined?
"Mr. Su, this examination room is very strange."
"Isn't it strange?" Su Anran sighed, "I taught you the importance of intelligence before, but you didn't discover the problem in this examination room until today?"
Kong Ling's face changed slightly, and she said solemnly: "I was careless."
"It's not your fault." Su Anran shook her head, "On the one hand, you don't have enough experience traveling alone. On the other hand, your personal strength is very strong. Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't meet those strong people at the top of the Heavenly Ranking,
If so, I guess not many people can really threaten you."
The human race has its ranking on the heavenly list, and the demon race also has the theory of the demon star.
What these two have in common is that the higher they are ranked, the stronger their strength will naturally be. Basically, those within the top twenty can be said to have half a foot on the threshold of the Earth Immortal, while those ranked between thirty and fifty
, they are also among the ranks of top experts that Earth Immortals can expect.
Su Anran doesn't know the specific situation of the Monster Clan's rankings.
But on the Human Race Heavenly Ranking, the rankings on the Heavenly Ranking range from fifty-one to one hundred. Although the competition is not fierce, they are basically geniuses from various sects, and they are also the kind that Earth Immortals can expect.
.
But the biggest difference between the rankings of the human race and the demon clan is that there are two strong demon clans on the human race's ranking list.
Kong Buhui from the Dian Cang clan, and Princess Qing Le from the Qingqiu clan.
These two people are the only demon geniuses who have ranked on the human race list.
How strong is Kong Ling?
Su Anran, who has been acting with him these days, knows it best.
If some special terrain environment is used, such as the ruins of the examination room on the fifth floor, it must be a spiritually disordered version of the ruins. Su Anran is confident that she will be so ethereal that even her brother will not recognize it. Even the sword on the fourth floor
In the strange environment, Su Anran is also confident that with the help of Shi Lezhi's power, he will die together with him.
But in the examination room on the sixth floor, Su Anran had no such thoughts.
Kongling allowed Su Anran to hang up and beat Su Anran with both legs and hands.
Part of the reason is that Su Anran's current attack methods basically rely heavily on sword energy, so the examination room environment on the sixth floor is quite unfavorable for him. Another part of the reason is that Kong Ling's own strength is also very tyrannical.
If Su Anran didn't know who the so-called Great Sage Qian Ling was before, then with Tian and Kong Ling's actions these days, he has basically figured out the identity of this great sage through insinuations.
Qian Ling Great Sage Huang Feifei, one of the two ancestors of the demon clan who were born by luck in the world, the current owner of the secret realm of Sky Wutong, the patriarch of the Phoenix Bird Clan, and the nominal leader of all the bird demon clan except those who have joined the Demon Alliance.
Leader.
It may be difficult for outsiders to figure out the current power structure of the demon clan, and they may even think that the demon alliance is the entire demon clan as a whole - Su Anran also thought so at the beginning, but he only changed his mind after Ethereal's "science popularization" - but
In fact, this is not the case, because the demon clan can actually be divided into five circles of influence, namely aquatic, animal hooves, birds, flowers, and insects.
As the name suggests, these five circles of power represent all types of monsters.
In the Demon Alliance, the aquatic demon clan respects the Blue Sea Dragon King as its leader; the beast-hoof demon clan obeys the Qingqiu Order; the insect-like demon clan gathers under the command of the Spider Queen - this is the structure of the Three Saints of the Demon Alliance: the three great ones
Saints check each other and try their best to maintain the normal operation of the entire demon alliance. Although they do not prevent minor frictions and fights among their followers, they will strongly intervene when minor frictions escalate to suppress and prevent the situation from getting out of control.
It is said that when the Demon Alliance was founded in the early days, Huang Feifei also led the bird demon clan to join. However, unknown changes occurred later. Huang Feifei opened up the secret realm of Sky Vault and Wutong and led the bird demon clan who were at odds with the Demon Alliance's ideals to break away.
Demon League
, embarked on the road to escape from the world, and never interfered in the affairs between the Demon Alliance and the human race. However, there are also a small number of bird demon clan who did not follow Huang Feifei to leave, but stayed in the Demon Alliance. This is why the Demon Alliance now has
The reasons for many birds and monsters.
The Beiming Clan among the Eight Kings of the Demon Alliance developed and grew under such circumstances - in fact, the growth of the Beiming Clan is inseparable from the instructions of the Three Saints. After all, with Huang Feifei taking the bird demon
The clan escaped from the world, and the other bird demon clans who stayed in the demon alliance must elect another alliance leader to order all the bird demon clans who stayed in the demon alliance, so the Beiming clan was elected under such circumstances.
But as the Beiming clan gradually grows in strength, they are naturally not willing to continue to be a puppet that is exposed by the Three Saints.
The Dian Cang Clan has a common language with the Beiming Clan to a certain extent in this regard.
Because the body of the Dian Cang clan is a drop of spiritual ink, it does not belong to the five major circles of influence and is considered a new category. In the Demon Alliance, there are actually not a few aliens similar to this, such as the twenty-four demons.
The faceless clan, ranked twelfth among the kings, is a mask; the Yin clan, ranked twenty-first
The ghost clan's essence is the shadow - in the early days when these alien tribes had not grown strong, there was naturally no such thing as a sixth circle of power. However, as these alien demon clans gradually became stronger, they brought more influence to the demon alliance.
After many tactical choices, even the Three Saints had to acquiesce to the sixth power circle.
Compared to the Beiming clan, which had Huang Feifei pressing on their head, the Diancang clan was much luckier.
At least, as long as the Dian Cang clan, or any other monster clan, can give birth to a great saint, the sixth circle of power will be formed immediately.
This is also the reason why the Dian Cang clan will devote all their efforts to cultivate Kong Ling - more than two-thirds of their resources are spent on sending Kong Ling to Huang Feifei to learn swordsmanship - they want to make Kong Ling
To compete for the fortune of swordsmanship in the Xuan Realm for the next five hundred years, and then turn these energies into the fortune of the Dian Cang clan, and forcibly create a great saint to become the leader of the sixth power circle of the demon clan.
In such a situation where the hopes of a clan, or even a large group of many clans, are shouldered, the pressure on Ethereal can be imagined.
When facing pressure, whether you are human or demon, or neither human nor demon, half human and half demon, there are only two possibilities for the outcome.
Either it will fail, or it will be completely transformed.
Su Anran didn't know if Kong Ling could be regarded as a reborn person, but after practicing hard for hundreds of years in a closed environment that could be said to be isolated from the world, she only specialized in swordsmanship, and at most took into account the cultivation of her character - Huang Feifei escaped from the demon.
Alliance, would rather escape the world with the bird monster clan than get involved in the melee between humans and monsters. It can be imagined that this Qian Ling Monkey King must also be a relatively simple-minded person, otherwise it would be impossible to teach the ethereal mind.
With her superb swordsmanship, stupid mentality, outdated principles of doing things, and the misleading experience of being unrepentant and unrealistic, Su Anran began to feel sorry for Kong Ling.
"Fortunately, you met me, otherwise you would have been sold long ago and would have to help others count money." Su Anran looked at Kong Ling, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
Kong Ling didn't understand what Su Anran meant, but she still laughed - Xu had never laughed much before, so Kong Ling's apparently pretty neutral face actually made Su Anran feel creepy when she laughed.
.
"You...you look pretty when you smile. Please smile more when you have nothing to do."
"Okay." Kong Ling still maintained a smile that she thought was quite "sweet".
Su Anran forced a smile for a while, but finally turned her head and said in a low voice: "I guess this examination room has been cleaned up, otherwise it is impossible that we have not encountered a living person until now, and
There are still traces of battle everywhere.”
"It turns out that Mr. Su has already understood everything!"
Kong Ling perfectly timed Su Anran's applause.
"I noticed something wrong yesterday and realized that a war might have broken out here. That's why I found several traces of battle today."
"Signs of battle?" Kong Ling was a little confused, "Why didn't I find it?"
"Those marks are very slight and can be easily missed if you don't look carefully."
Su Anran said.
In fact, if it weren't for Shi Lezhi's reminder, Su Anran would not have been able to detect the traces of these battles, because these traces were very slight, and many of them had almost completely faded away after several days.
From this point of view, the battles that broke out in this examination room were very short, and the victory or defeat could be determined almost instantly.
This means that either the attacker has complete crushing strength, or he is very good at assassination and sneak attacks.
"Observe carefully." Kong Ling said thoughtfully, "Mr. Su, are there any black marks around the battle marks you discovered before?"
"Black marks?"
Su Anran thought for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "I'm not sure, it seems... there is?"
"Those marks are very natural, nothing strange can be seen, but they are mostly black spots, or like some kind of spilled liquid, right?"
Su Anran pretended to think, but in fact she was asking Shi Lezhi: "Are there any traces around? I didn't look too carefully before, so I can't remember clearly."
"Yes." Shi Lezhi's reply was very positive, "Most of the marks are just a black spot, very subtle. But there are also a few battle marks that are black marks accompanied by cracks in the ground, a bit like burning.
Condition."
Su Anran relayed the words to Kong Ling intact.
But when he saw Kong Ling's expression of "Sure enough," his heart suddenly moved: "Is he your brother?"
Kong Ling nodded slightly and said: "Yes...my brother and I have both practiced the Moyu Sword Art, but I haven't formed a field yet, so I can't really use the power and special effects of the Moyu Sword Art. My brother
He has completely mastered the essence of Mo Yu Sword Technique and has his own unique domain, the characteristic of which is that the traces of his sword energy can be well integrated into the environment, leaving almost no traces."
"So...your brother has actually swept this examination room?"
"If there are no accidents..." Kong Ling frowned, "Actually, my brother and I both have different tasks. According to the original plan, I was going to block the door of the examination room on the fifth floor and block all those who entered the same room as me.
All the monks in the examination room were expelled, and then
I only entered the sixth floor on the last day...and my brother will be responsible for helping me attract firepower and cover up my existence as much as possible. So I think that with my brother's pig brain, he can only
There was a killing spree in the examination room on the sixth floor."
The Dian Cang clan's plan that has been dormant for hundreds of years is to let Kong Ling snatch the fortune of swordsmanship in the Xuan Realm for the next five hundred years.
After all, according to their speculation, after the birth of Tang Shiyun, Ye Jinxuan and others on the human race, according to the normal ups and downs, the human race will inevitably be at a relatively disadvantaged position in the swordsmanship competition in the next cycle of luck.
To put it bluntly, because of the birth of Taiyi Valley, in this five hundred years of fortune, except for the fortunes of Buddhism and Confucianism, the fortunes of martial arts, swordsmanship, and magic, etc., have not been affected.
They were all plundered by Taiyi Valley.
Gu Sicheng once made a hexagram for Taiyi Gu, saying that this method was too harmful to luck, so it would be difficult for Song Nana to survive.
But judging from the current situation, Song Nana has successfully escaped the disaster.
Although Gu Sicheng didn't know how Huang Zi managed to change Song Nana's fate against the will of heaven, he was the number one person in the occult world today after all, so even if he couldn't deduce it, at least he was not blind and could still see it.
, the key person who helped Song Nana change her fate of death was Su Anran.
Therefore, the outside world generally believes that Huang Zi from Taiyi Valley has a unique vision.
But in the eyes of the real powerful people in the Xuan Realm, they believe that Tai Yi Gu was able to emerge from nowhere purely because Tai Yi Gu took away the luck of the swordsmanship, martial arts, and magic that should have been distributed to the entire Xuan Realm.
That's why Taiyi Valley has given birth to several monsters that overwhelm the Mysterious Realm in the past five hundred years. It has also put the human race in a tragic situation of declining talents in the past five hundred years, allowing the monster clan to take the opportunity to grow stronger.
.
This kind of statement is naturally not only spread among the human race, but also has a considerable market in the demon race.
That's why the Demon Alliance gave up competing with Shangguan Xin, Tang Shiyun, Wang Yuanji and others, and instead focused on cultivating the next generation of heaven's proud ones. In turn, the human race was also inspired by the Demon Clan, so they began to secretly cultivate them.
Genius disciples of the next generation to cope with the coming new struggle for destiny.
It's just that unlike the Human Demon Alliance, which has more options, the situation on the human race's side actually has zero room for choice - for example, the four major sword cultivation holy places can only compete in swordsmanship, so Wanjian Tower
Only then did Nai Yue exist, and only then did Zangjian Pavilion have Su Xiaoxiao.
The Dian Cang clan, after testing the level and situation of the human race, chose to let Kong Ling compete with Nai Yue in swordsmanship.
It is precisely because of this that the Dian Cang clan hid Kong Ling so well that to this day, the human race has not had any relevant news - if it were not for the Sword Testing Tower, logging into the sixth floor this time, you would be able to get a chance to observe the Sword Code
Chances are, I'm afraid the Dian Cang clan doesn't plan to release Kong Ling yet.
Therefore, the Dian Cang clan was quite well prepared this time, and even deduced countless situations, possibilities and how to deal with them.
For example, let Kong Ling guard the examination room on the fifth floor to deal with as many intruders as possible, and then ask Kong Buhui to create more chaos in the examination rooms above the sixth floor, attracting everyone's attention to him. After all, in
Tang Shiyun was promoted to Earth Immortal, and without Shangguan Xin being born, it would not be an exaggeration for him to claim to be number one on the Heavenly Ranking, because he indeed has the strength.
But it is a pity that Taiyitani once again did not follow the routine.
After Ye Jinxuan recovered from her serious injury, her strength actually increased. She was already at the level of a half-step earth immortal. It was more than enough to suppress Kong Buhui, who had not yet taken that half step. After discovering this, Kong Buhui at that time
He felt as if he had swallowed tens of thousands of flies. He felt extremely uncomfortable. The series of plans he carefully planned and the countless plans prepared by the Dian Cang clan think tank were all useless.
Moreover, Kong Buhui unfortunately got involved with Ye Jinxuan, and the two became teammates.
Of course, what the Dian Cang clan still doesn't know is that Kong Ling met Su Anran, which is a greater misfortune.
Because Kong Ling not only became Su Anran's teammate, but now she has become Su Anran's crush.
"Anyway, the current situation is indeed more favorable to us." Su Anran could only say this in the end, "In this examination room, my strength is greatly suppressed. Now that there is no danger here,
Then there is no need for us to waste time here, let’s find a way to clear the level as soon as possible and then go to the next examination room.”
He already knew from Kong Ling that the Sword Test Building starts from the seventh floor and goes to the ninth floor. There is only one examination room on these three floors, and there is no division of different strength and cultivation levels. In other words, even if the strength is only
In the Aperture Realm, if you can successfully enter the seventh floor, you will meet with other strong men in the Soul Condensation Realm. Although I don’t know the specific assessment method, I estimate that ordinary monks may not be able to survive, after all, their strength
The difference is really too big.
Now Su Anran only hopes that he will not enter the examination room on the seventh floor and become enemies with his senior sister, which will be great fun.
Naturally, Kong Ling would not object to Su Anran's proposal, so the two of them quickly hit the road after taking a short rest.
But after walking for a while, Su Anran and Kong Ling discovered a dying swordsman not far ahead.
After the two looked at each other, they chose to go forward directly.
They did not hide their traces, so the dying swordsman quickly discovered Su Anran and Kong Ling.
When the other party saw Su Anran and Kong Ling, he couldn't help but reveal a sad smile on his face: "Ahem... As you can see, I have been seriously injured and I do not pose any threat to you. Can you let me go?"
"Then it depends on your performance." Su Anran's heart moved slightly, but she said calmly, "It's not impossible to let you go if you talk about some topics that interest us... Of course, for
Show a little sincerity, and we can help you stabilize your injury first."
"Huh." The other party didn't really think that Su Anran would help him stabilize his injuries, because he knew the current situation very well, so he said straightforwardly: "I want to ask how to clear the customs, right? This trip is about three hundred kilometers eastward.
, you will see a village with an altar in the village, which is the entrance to the seventh floor. However... I advise you not to go."
"Why?" Su Anran raised an eyebrow, "But the person who hurt you is on the seventh floor?"
"Of course." The sword cultivator nodded, "I have participated in the Sword Trial Building assessment more than ten times. Although I have never been to the seventh floor, and even this is the first time I have entered the sixth floor, I have heard that,
Starting from the seventh floor, there is only one examination room left. So if you continue to move forward, you will definitely encounter that devil... This time, the entire examination room on the sixth floor was completely penetrated by the opponent."
"We're not afraid." Su Anran laughed.
With Kong Ling in his hands, would he still be afraid of Kong Ling and not regret it?
What's more, when he goes to the seventh floor, he can meet up with Fourth Senior Sister Ye Jinxuan. As long as he is not on the opposite side, Su Anran is really not afraid of being in vain.
After all, no matter what, he has two death-free gold medals.
"Newborn calf." The swordsman just shook his head and said nothing more.
"Help him treat it. At least stabilize his injury and don't let him continue to deteriorate." Su Anran turned to Kong Ling and said, "In addition to being cruel to the enemy when acting outside, when we face the victims who are not enemies, we
We must also uphold a kind heart and help whenever we can.”
"Okay." Kong Ling nodded, then squatted down and began to help the dying sword cultivator stabilize his injuries.
Because the elixir could not be used, Kong Ling could only use some emergency treatment methods learned from the Great Sage Qian Ling to help stabilize the sword cultivator's injury. Although it could not restore his fighting strength, it could at least stabilize him.
Regardless of the injury, as long as the other party is not too unlucky, he can actually survive until the end of the assessment in the Sword Trial House.
Of course, what Su Anran couldn't understand was why the other party didn't just leave the examination room even though his injuries were so serious.
After all, as long as you step onto the sixth floor, you have already obtained the ticket to observe the Sword Classic, so there is no need to hold on any longer.
The swordsman didn't know what Su Anran was thinking, but he was really surprised that Su Anran actually helped him stabilize his injury and prevent the situation from getting worse.
"I haven't asked for advice yet."
"I'm down here, Taiyigu, Su Anran."
The sword cultivator, who was lowering his head and looking at Kong Ling's skillful emergency response techniques, raised his head in shock, but happened to see Kong Ling showing a very frightening and terrifying expression, and his whole body instantly panicked: "No, I
Didn’t say anything, the devil... no, no head, no, no devil, no. I, I don’t know, I, I, I..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
Kong Ling blinked and was stunned for a while, then turned his head, with the "sweet" smile on his face still maintained, but Su Anran saw a rather aggrieved expression on the other person's face.
I heard Kong Ling say in a very aggrieved tone: "Is it... that I smiled badly? I seemed to have scared him to death..."
"No." Su Anran shook her head firmly, but her wandering eyes didn't look at Kong Ling at all, "You have a pretty nice smile. I think he will be scared to death. It must have nothing to do with your smile, but...
Because of other things."
"Something else?"
"For example, the devil he mentioned before."
"My brother?" Kong Ling blinked.
Su Anran did not answer the call.
He just thought of one thing.
Could it be that the big devil who killed the entire examination room on the sixth floor was his fourth senior sister Ye Jinxuan?
This script doesn’t seem quite right?
Shouldn't it be Kong Bugui who wants to cause an uproar and attract the attention of sword cultivators from all races?
How come she became Ye Jinxuan?
But in this examination room, there are traces left after the original battle of Kong Bu Regret.
Could it be that Kong Buhui has tried his best to attract hatred for his sister, but he still can't compete with his fourth senior sister who is more powerful, so he has been doing useless work? If this is the case, then those who were lucky enough not to be killed by him
Will the person killed by Fourth Senior Sister choose revenge after recognizing his identity?
"Kong Ling, now that we know how to get to the next examination room, let's set off without further delay!"
"Ah?" Kong Ling was a little confused: Aren't we always on the road?
But since Su Anran said so, Kong Ling certainly wouldn't refuse, so she nodded, said "ok", stood up again, and followed Su Anran on the road.
But along the way, looking at Su Anran's eager look, Kong Ling didn't feel anything wrong with Su Anran.
She was just thinking: As expected of Mr. Su, he really focused on what he did.
