Wang Yu
Chapter 229 Trapped
There were quite a few of these Ice Scorpions, about twenty or thirty, and they were quite strong. Originally, Tang Chuan and his group were at a disadvantage, and many disciples were showing signs of panic, on the verge of collapse. However, the few most powerful Void Refinement Ice Scorpions in the scorpion group suddenly disappeared for some reason.
Tang Chuan and the others were overjoyed and immediately counterattacked, quickly killing all these Ice Scorpions and continuing forward.
In mid-air, a figure flashed, and Su Tongxiao's figure appeared briefly, then disappeared without a trace.
……
Dozens of silver filaments shot down, making a loud sizzling sound, piercing the body of a white Ice Python and creating a huge wound.
The Void Refinement Ice Python let out a miserable cry, and its huge body crashed to the ground, with a large stream of blood gushing out. The giant python twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
The silver filaments flew back and transformed into a silver flying sword, returning to Bai Suyuan's side.
Sun Ke and the others stood near Bai Suyuan, forming a circle to protect her, with more than a dozen Void Refinement giant pythons attacking the six of them from the outside.
Sun Ke and the others were also dealing with more than two Ice Snow Giant Pythons each. Although they were at a disadvantage, they could still hold on for the time being.
Bai Suyuan killed a giant python without pausing, and pointed with her jade finger.
The silver flying sword shot out again, turning into dozens of silver sword threads, faintly forming a lotus shape, and shot towards a giant python that was fighting with Sun Ke.
Sun Ke's face showed joy, and he hurriedly activated four cyan flying knives, doing his best to assist.
Ten days had passed since the trial began, and they had penetrated deep into the Profound Ice Mountains. The demon beasts they encountered were becoming more and more powerful. Today, they were surrounded by more than a dozen mid-Void Refinement giant python demon beasts.
The six of them decisively formed a circular defense formation, protecting the strongest Bai Suyuan, allowing her to free her hands to attack.
Bai Suyuan lived up to expectations, repeatedly using secret techniques to display powerful combat power, killing one giant python after another.
Time passed little by little, and the battle began to tilt towards the six of them.
Dozens of sword threads pierced the body of a giant python. Although it did not hit a vital point, it still made its movements pause.
Whoosh!
A thick purple-gold stick shadow descended from the sky and hit the giant python's head hard.
The giant python's head cracked into several pieces, and white brain matter mixed with blood splattered out.
"Roar!" A white giant python let out a strange howl and turned to flee into the distance.
The remaining giant pythons immediately followed, disappearing into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.
Bai Suyuan and the others did not chase. This fierce battle had consumed a great deal of their magic power, and they immediately silently took out pills and spirit stones to recover.
In mid-air, Han Li's figure transformed into a blurred phantom, hiding in a cloud, slowly nodding.
He had not taken action along the way.
Bai Suyuan and the others had commendable minds and strategies. The tactics in the previous battle, although slightly immature, were still very good considering the cultivation levels of these people.
Bai Suyuan and the others did not stay for long and soon continued to move forward.
Han Li moved and followed.
But the next moment, his expression changed slightly as he looked to the side. Su Tongxiao's figure appeared out of thin air.
"Brother Su, why are you here? Is it okay not to protect those two groups of people?" Han Li said with a smile.
"I have basically cleared the way ahead for the two routes, which was really exhausting! Now those two groups of disciples have also made a lot of progress, so there shouldn't be any problems. Although these children have excellent qualifications, they are too unfamiliar with combat," Su Tongxiao sighed.
"They grew up in the sect, sheltered by the elders, so naturally they haven't experienced any major setbacks," Han Li said, somewhat disapproving in his heart.
After all, in his opinion, having a strong cultivation base but lacking real combat experience in the face of life and death was of no use in the event of danger.
"It's not difficult to improve in combat. There is a Phantom Nightmare Tower in the sect, which is specifically for the use of true disciples, and is specially used to improve fighting experience," Su Tongxiao said.
"There is such a place." Han Li was slightly surprised.
"There are many magical places in the sect, Brother Li will slowly find out," Su Tongxiao said with a smile.
Han Li nodded silently, suddenly raising his head.
Su Tongxiao's brows also furrowed.
Ahead of Qi Huanyu's route, a Body Integration demon beast was rapidly approaching.
"Oh, a Body Integration demon beast actually appeared ahead of time," Su Tongxiao muttered to himself.
Han Li narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, saying, "It should be caused by you clearing the demon beasts ahead of the two routes."
"Perhaps," Su Tongxiao said, and was about to fly away.
Qi Huanyu's group was having difficulty dealing with some Void Refinement demon beasts, let alone Body Integration ones. For the sake of safety, he had to watch.
At that moment, his expression changed slightly, and he looked towards Tang Chuan.
Almost at the same time, another Body Integration demon beast appeared within the range of his divine sense, heading towards Tang Chuan.
This demon beast was a giant bird, extremely fast, and was about to make contact.
"Two Body Integration demon beasts!" Su Tongxiao's expression was slightly anxious.
The three routes were far apart from each other. If he went to Qi Huanyu's side first, it would be too late for Tang Chuan.
"Brother Li, could you please do me a favor and deal with the demon beast on Tang Chuan's side? Su will be very grateful," Su Tongxiao looked at Han Li and said.
Han Li glanced at a certain place in front of him, but showed a troubled expression on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, said, "Since Brother Su has spoken, Li will help you with this."
"Thank you, Brother Li, I am very grateful," Su Tongxiao thanked him, and his figure flashed before shooting off into the distance.
Han Li glanced at Su Tongxiao's back, pondered for a moment, and then his figure flickered and disappeared in place.
……
Tang Chuan and his group of eight flew forward. According to the map, they were not far from their destination.
Along the way, the number of demon beasts on the road had decreased by 70%, and their path forward was naturally quite smooth.
Tang Chuan knew the reason why the demon beasts had suddenly become scarce. It must be the work of the True Immortal elder who was secretly guarding them.
But now that there were no worries, whether or not he could win the championship became his top priority.
"Faster!" With this thought in mind, Tang Chuan turned his head and shouted at the people behind him.
He wanted to get to the Snow Brown Bear as quickly as possible and kill it, causing all the other true disciples to fail the assessment.
As for whether or not they could kill the Snow Brown Bear with their eight people, he was not worried at all.
As long as the True Immortal elder was there, he would never let himself be killed by the Snow Brown Bear, and then that person would have no choice but to take action.
Tang Chuan was smug in his heart, and the escape light around him became even brighter, and his speed increased by several points.
At that moment, a distant hissing sound came from the front.
Although the distance was still very far, this sound was as ear-piercing as a steel needle, causing his eardrums to ache, and he couldn't help but groan, and his flight speed suddenly slowed down.
The others were not as strong as Tang Chuan, and were even more unbearable. They all screamed and covered their ears.
"What is this thing?" Tang Chuan's face changed.
Before he could finish speaking, a black spot appeared in the sky in the left front, flying towards them with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, it was close, but it was a terrifying demon beast.
This thing was several hundred feet in size, shaped like a Flood Dragon, but far more ferocious and terrifying than a Flood Dragon. It had a pair of wide wings on its back, each feather like a sharp sword. Its long tail was covered with huge bone spurs, and especially the tail end had a scorpion-like barb, flashing a faint blue light, obviously with poison.
A huge aura emanated from this giant beast, reaching the Body Integration level.
"Not good, how could it be a Body Integration demon beast!" Tang Chuan and the others' faces changed drastically. They retreated backwards, while looking around, seemingly searching for something.
The ferocious giant beast did not give them time to react at all, and opened its mouth and roared.
A huge sound wave formed visible ripples in the air, covering the eight people overwhelmingly.
Tang Chuan and the others did not have time to summon their magic treasures, and were enveloped by the roaring torrent. The blood and magic power in their bodies suddenly rolled violently, and blood poured out of all seven orifices.
The giant beast waved its wings, and thick blue ice cones appeared, and then shot out, hitting Tang Chuan and the others, about to pierce through the eight of them.
At the critical moment, a cyan figure appeared out of thin air in front of the eight people, and pointed out without saying a word.
A dazzling cyan light emerged, instantly weaving into a huge light curtain, blocking in front of the eight people.
The roaring torrent stopped abruptly, and those ice cones hit the light curtain and shattered completely.
The giant beast was stunned. Its huge eyes looked at the figure that appeared in front of it, and felt the huge aura emanating from it. A look of horror suddenly appeared in its eyes, and it shook its wings and fled into the distance.
The cyan figure disappeared in a flash, and the next moment appeared out of thin air on the giant beast's huge head.
He pointed with one hand, and a cyan light shot out, disappearing into the giant beast's head.
Bang!
The giant beast's huge body suddenly solidified, and then its huge head exploded.
At that moment, black spheres flew out of the giant beast's head, appearing around the cyan figure, and the black light on the surface flickered wildly.
Seeing this, the cyan figure was about to fly away.
With a "poof" sound!
These black beads burst open, turning into dazzling black light, connected to each other, and condensed into a huge black light array, with countless black runes tumbling inside.
Strands of law power emanated from the light array, and the air near the light array instantly became as hard as steel. A cyan figure could vaguely be seen trapped inside.
"What is this?" Tang Chuan and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene, not knowing what had happened.
Almost at the same time, deep in Snow Camel Ridge.
Qi Huanyu and the other five disciples were hiding behind a low mountain in a state of panic. Most of these people were seriously injured, as if they had just experienced a fierce life-and-death battle.
In mid-air beside the crowd, there were also four small people about two inches tall. Judging from the looks of them, they seemed to be the nascent souls of their former companions, whose bodies had been destroyed.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on a huge black light array hundreds of feet away in front of the low mountain.
On the ground below the light array, lay the corpse of a huge demon beast. Above the corpse, Su Tongxiao was firmly trapped by the black light array, and dazzling light bloomed from his body, struggling desperately.
However, the black light array was obviously not an ordinary magic array. It was extremely strong, and although it trembled continuously, there was no sign of damage for a while.
