Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Although it was Chen Xi's first time meeting this old man, the man's appearance was truly...

She turned her head slightly and looked at Yang Wei.

Now that the five have left the territory of the Great Dark Tower, the issue of limited vision no longer exists.

"5......"

Yang Wei understood Chen Xi's meaning and somewhat reluctantly uttered a number.

He's not stupid at all when he needs to be clever.

Chen Xi knew beforehand that there were other symbols inside the Black Tower, so he mentioned them to them on the way.

"No way!"

The author exclaimed in surprise, his mouth so big it could fit a whole orange.

"Is this old man the one who symbolizes 'killing'?"

"Yang Wei, are you sure you didn't misread the numbers?"

"Or is it possible that a certain identity or innate talent is related to numbers?"

"Sigh, I wish I had just misread it," Yang Wei sighed. "Unfortunately, it's a genuine 5!"

"As for what you're referring to as a purely digital identity or innate talent, I regret to inform you that there isn't one!"

"You died too early, so you forgot what was written on the history tablets."

"Although showing off is really inappropriate right now, I still want to say..."

"My eyes have never misjudged!"

"That old man..."

"It is an entity that symbolizes 'killing'!"

As if in agreement with Yang Wei's guess, with a "snap," the white-haired old man suddenly raised his hand and grasped the sword behind him.

"He's about to make his move!"

"So sudden!?"

Tyson Bolt's expression darkened, and she immediately activated [Power Mode]. With Chen Xi's Black Tower Stone as her foundation, she no longer needed to be so restrained in releasing her extraordinary abilities.

next second.

Swish!

The white-haired old man swung his sword at Chen Xi and the other four. Although he only swung it once, it produced five sword energies.

Judging from the trajectory, this sword strike was meant to cut everyone in half at the waist!

Chen Xi's heart sank upon seeing this. This Slaughter was truly living up to his name, killing anyone he saw!

Without distinguishing right from wrong, without needing any reason.

As long as you are alive, appearing in front of him will automatically trigger the path to your death!

According to the information obtained from Lu Xitong, Shalu has been searching for something.

This caused him to linger on the first floor of the Black Tower.

From this perspective, his attack on the Dragon Palace was likely for this very reason.

Damn it, the Black Tower is so big, why did I have to run into it!

It seems I used up all my luck with the perfect timing, location, and people I had before.

Chen Xi could only console herself with this thought.

But it's impossible for him to just sit and wait to die!

Just as the sword energy flew over, a faint blue light appeared on Chen Xi's body, visually resembling a thin layer of screen protector applied to a mobile phone.

The light of composure!

The mark of a Tier III powerhouse was unfortunately absent from the white-haired old man's face, as if to say, "You may be strong, but I don't care."

That makes sense, considering he's someone who attacked the Dragon Palace; in his eyes, there's probably no difference between Tier III and Tier I.

After releasing the Light of Pride, Chen Xi did not summon [Radiant Ancestor], and the venue did not change, indicating that he did not use [Minecraft], nor did the hexagram magic circle of [Overlord's Domain] appear under his feet.

Instead, he held a plain, unremarkable tool, seemingly made of ordinary iron.

A primitive, labor-intensive tool used for harvesting wheat.

sickle!

"Leave it to me!"

Chen Xi uttered three words with a solemn expression.

Then, just like the white-haired old man, he slashed the air with his sickle from right to left.

Not a single blade aura was released because of this action; instead, it was the white-haired old man's five sword auras.

After Chen Xi's stroke, they all disappeared!

Upon seeing this, the white-haired old man's pupils dilated slightly, and he swung his sword again, striking five qi in one blow.

Chen Xi accepted it all without question and swung the sickle in his hand once more.

The five sword energies disappeared again.

"It's happening again..."

"This intensity is unreasonable..."

It was Chen Xi who made the sword energy disappear, but after the sword energy disappeared, he murmured softly, clearly sensing something was wrong.

This time, the white-haired old man remained silent upon seeing this, and like a machine on an assembly line, he swung his sword a third time.

Unfortunately, nothing special happened this time either; the process and the result were the same.

It was still five sword energies, and Chen Xi accepted them all without hesitation.

The white-haired old man, who had failed in all three attacks, showed no disappointment or anger on his face, but instead revealed a strange smile.

Like a child who has found a new toy, his face beamed with a smile.

Although the smile looked kind and friendly, in the hearts of Chen Xi and the other four, its terror was no less than that of a devil's smile.

It seemed that Chen Xi had broken through the opponent's sword energy, but no matter how you looked at it, that sword energy was only at the level of an appetizer.

It is impossible to become blindly arrogant just because of this slight gain in power.

"Not bad." The white-haired old man suddenly spoke, as if praising someone, "You survived three of my sword strikes."

"You will live today!"

After saying that, he sheathed his longsword and walked straight toward Chen Xi and the other four.

Under immense pressure, no one moved.

After all, Chen Xi had told them about the power of the symbol. At least within the first level of the Black Tower, Chen Xi believed that the symbol was almost invincible.

If they really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to escape.

As he approached Chen Xi, the white-haired old man stopped, and as everyone held their breath:

"It's been a long time since I've seen the term 'farmer'."

After saying this, the white-haired old man left without pausing.

It seems that this sentence was not specifically said to Chen Xi, but rather it was more like the white-haired old man confirming his own guess.

Aside from the failure of the first attack, the white-haired old man's face remained expressionless, showing neither happiness nor unhappiness, neither shock nor sadness, but also surprise.

His face always looked like that of a gentleman.

As bland as water.

It gives people a feeling that is unclear, intangible, and unfathomable.

A few seconds later, he passed through Chen Xi's five-person team.

As he himself said, "You can live today," and for that he did not swing the fourth sword.

His behavior was just like that of a martial arts hero on TV: "If you survive three of my moves, I'll let you go and settle all grudges!"

Unfortunately, the white-haired old man was a bit harsh, only saying that he wouldn't kill him today!

The white-haired old man did not turn around; his figure was gradually disappearing into the distance.

Judging from the direction they're heading, they might be entering the Great Dark Realm, or they might not.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the source of danger had left, Chen Xi suddenly turned around:

"Is this world... a cycle of reincarnation!?"

He didn't say anything like "Please wait a moment" or any other kind of "Are you there?" nonsense.

The other party was clearly aware of the extraordinary characteristics that came with being a farmer, which was quite strange.

Chen Xi had always believed that he was the first farmer to truly awaken to his identity, but judging from various events, the truth is probably not so.

But it doesn't make sense; logically speaking, left and right are different.

But the old man's words just now suddenly gave Chen Xi a flash of inspiration, and the concept of "the world is in a cycle" popped into his mind.

clatter......

The white-haired old man suddenly stopped. Perhaps on a whim, or perhaps on a sudden impulse, he actually answered the question.

But the answer he gave was none of the answers Chen Xi had anticipated:

"The world, like time, only keeps moving forward."

"The cycle of reincarnation..."

"It's you guys!"
