The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons
Chapter 758: Difficulties and Hardships
After fighting with "Xuan Xiao" for less than a cup of tea, Jiang Yichen was sweating profusely as if he had drunk a jar of hot tea.
Perhaps the image of the colorfully-clad demon Taoist on the battlefield of Zhongzhou in the past was too deeply rooted in people's minds, or perhaps Xuan Xiao, who was trapped in the Wudang secret cave many years ago, was also recalling the glorious years. Therefore, the "Xuan Xiao" in the Tower of Babel gave Jiang Yichen the same feeling as when he first saw the Wudang secret cave.
She was wearing a pink one-shoulder white robe, a Taoist bun, willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and red lips. Moreover, she was not covered with dust or frost by time, so the "Xuan Xiao" in the Tower of Babel looked even more charming and handsome.
However, after triggering the challenge, Jiang Yichen did not have a moment to appreciate and admire.
But "Xuan Xiao" was seen holding the sword in his right hand and shaking it lightly, while his left hand's fingers were like a sword and were also shaking slightly.
Those who are not in the know might regard it as children imitating and playing. Jiang Yichen, who had suffered losses and been injured, was under increasing pressure again.
The killer move is coming again!
There was a dazzling white light on the ground around him, and the interweaving of black and red light disturbed his vision.
There was also an inconspicuous pink light flashing in the meantime.
One formation after another took shape, shining brightly, as if flowers were blooming everywhere on the ground.
Flowers bloom again, in clusters of colorful flowers that are eye-catching.
If there were no lighting inside the tower, the light from the dense array alone would be enough to blind people's eyes.
Jiang Yichen first squinted his eyes, and then simply closed them.
Xuan Xiao's various array arrangements looked fancy, but in fact they blocked all his escape routes.
Although Jiang Yichen subconsciously used the "door opening" formation, the only way to find another way out and escape, it was interfered with again and became ineffective.
When faced with ten kinds of difficulties, the first choice is to find a way to break through with the least damage and the fastest way out of danger.
Jiang Yichen dodged and moved according to his intuition, passing through a series of black and dark shocking arrays with sharp whistles, occasionally cutting his way out from the wounded gate, and always having to be on guard to block the swords that came from unknown places!
The figure of "Xuan Xiao" appeared and disappeared in every inch of space on the eighth floor of the Tower of Babel.
Jiang Yichen measured almost every inch of the eighth floor with his own footsteps.
This was an extremely unfair "confrontation".
When manpower is limited.
The illusion masters in the Tower of Babel will never be upset because of a long period of unsuccessful attacks, nor will they be discouraged because of a failed attack.
After another stick of incense, Jiang Yichen dragged his tired body and legs covered with "blood plums" to pull out the Tongtian Order from the embedded mouth, ending the unilateral attack of "Xuan Xiao".
He surrendered too.
The reason why Leng Mei couldn't do anything with "Xuan Xiao" was not only because the opponent could use his true energy endlessly, but also because the "Xuan Xiao" could forcibly interfere with her casting of the Eight Gates Formation, but she couldn't restrict the opponent in turn.
It is like two generals charging against each other on the battlefield.
Only one side can use long weapons freely, while the other side's long weapons are fixed on the body or horse.
For the other party, normal actions will become restricted, and it will be more than just a disadvantage.
Even though Leng Mei had previous combat experience, only when one was in the middle of it did one know how suffocating and oppressive the "Xuan Xiao" could be when it had no restrictions on one's true energy and could fire at full power.
Jiang Yichen was unable to find a way to defeat the enemy for the time being, so he could only go downstairs and wait to see the result of Leng Mei's challenge.
……
……
Having suffered a loss once, Leng Mei almost gave up the use of the Eight Gates Formation when fighting "Xuan Xiao" again.
In other words, he was very cautious every time he deployed the formation. He was not absolutely sure and would rather spend more energy and physical strength to deal with it with the most basic martial arts and body movements than take any risks.
He used all his strength to practice the "Cang Yue Hui Hai Jue" to disperse the true energy in his body, interacting with the outside world more frequently and closely. He learned from Jiang Yichen to use more external forces to increase the power of each attack.
However, in front of "Xuan Xiao", Leng Mei was not as passive as Jiang Yichen. "Xuan Xiao" came and went in a flash relying on the omnipresent door-opening formation.
Leng Mei is sometimes like a flying crane, soaring into the sky, spreading its feathers and spreading its wings, stabbing to block the sword, and sometimes defending and attacking at the same time.
Sometimes it was like a spirit phoenix, spreading its wings and flying through the array of magic formations, and its double spears stirred up two streams of air and strong winds to interfere with the positioning of "Xuan Xiao".
Once "Xuan Xiao" chooses an aggressive position, Leng Mei can suppress it with the flurry of dance.
At this time, "Xuan Xiao" wants to retreat. If the distance between them is not more than two meters, the double-spear "Shuang Feng Huan Xiang" will follow closely.
"Xuan Xiao" first retreats and then advances. Leng Mei can also condense his energy into thousands of needles, covering the areas where he may appear with "Flying Feathers All Over the Sky".
It can be said that Leng Mei, who faced the enemy for the second time, has already freed up enough space to compete with "Xuan Xiao".
However, "Xuan Xiao", who had little ability in the Eight Gates Formation, was forced to display more unique skills.
After "Xuan Xiao" performed the Wudang Tai Chi Bagua Formation and Taiyi Fenguang Sword, Leng Mei fell into despair again and had no choice but to surrender.
……
……
Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen, who "met" on the first floor, were so frustrated that they could not express it in words.
The power of "Xuan Xiao" not only undermined the confidence of Jiang and Leng, but also made people dare not imagine how powerful the strong man must be who can break through the eighth floor of the Tower of Babel by brute force.
Not to mention completing the ten-level Tongtian feat, even if someone can complete the eighth-level Tongtian challenge by taking shortcuts, he is no easy target in the Zhongzhou martial arts world.
Maybe he cannot be compared with top figures like Smiling Maitreya, Xiao Yincai, etc., but he should be able to compete with the top combat forces of big gangs like Feng Chen and Ghostly Enchantress.
And how many Wala warriors are there who are comparable to the top masters in Zhongzhou?
Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen were both glad that these Wala warriors were not in Badulu City at the moment, but they were also worried that they would cause a lot of trouble for the Zhongzhou army on the front line.
Both of them felt the added weight of the burden placed on their shoulders by the urgency of time.
Although this burden is mostly imagined by themselves, they also insist on carrying it.
But since the choice has been made, there is no room for regret. They have to complete this journey, otherwise everything they have done will be meaningless.
Leng and Jiang walked side by side, encouraging each other silently, calming their minds, and walked out of the tower.
What they didn't know was that in order to defeat "Xuan Xiao", some people risked hemiplegia, hugged "Xuan Xiao"'s legs in blood, and threw him to the ground; others trained themselves to have iron skin and endured the beating and got through; some even paid the price of losing their sense of pain, and were able to treat the Eight Gates Formation as nothing.
They only knew that when they returned the Tongtian Order to the old tower guard this time, the other party still deducted two levels of their achievements and recorded that they had completed six levels of the challenge.
After the old tower guard confirmed the time of the next challenge with the two, he actually said a few extra words.
“It has been more than twelve years since the Tower of Babel was built.
“In the beginning, no one had a clear idea of the actual difficulty of the two challenge modes in Babel.
“After the opening of the Tower of Babel, we continuously adjusted and debugged the system based on the feedback from the trial warriors. It took us two years to gradually form a relatively complete challenge process and system, which has been improved year by year until now.
"That is to say, there was no clear record of achievements before this.
“I remember that the first warrior who completed the Tongtian mode tried no less than twenty times.
“The fastest record of people completing the level is six times, and only two people have done it.
“So far, nine people have completed the tenth level.
“When you pass the level, the golden bead on the top of the tower will shine brightly, bringing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the body, mind and meridians of the person who passes the level. If you have a sudden realization, it will be a great opportunity to make progress in your practice.
"It's hard to get through this difficult time. You two are still young, but you have already achieved such great results. You really have a lot to do. Don't be discouraged!"
For Leng and Jiang, this passage is a historical story, an encouragement, and quite meaningful. (End of this chapter)
