Chapter 445 Illusion
Countless sword shadows flashed by, and the man holding the spear was strangled into countless pieces by the sword formation, and also turned into a little light and disappeared into the air. Qingyang killed two people in succession and eliminated the two helpers of the thin man, but because he used the Sanyuan Sword Formation continuously, his true energy and divine consciousness were also depleted. I don’t know if he can still defeat the thin man.
The thin man saw that his other brother was also killed by Qingyang, but he was dragged by the alcoholic bee and had no time to rescue him. He was furious. So he no longer cared about the interference of the alcoholic bee around him and rushed directly towards Qingyang.
The characteristics of this thin man are very similar to the previous two strong men. His offense and defense are also slightly lacking in spirituality, but the opponent’s strong strength makes up for this deficiency, making Qingyang exhausted. Just like the third-level living dead that Qingyang encountered before, although he lacks intelligence, his speed and reaction ability are amazing. Wei Yufeng and Qingyang can’t beat him even if they fight to the death.
Knowing that the opponent was strong, Qingyang could not fight him head-on. He could only rely on his body skills to dodge as much as possible. However, the opponent's strength was much higher than his. Both his speed and reaction ability were faster than Qingyang. If you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet. If you are not careful, you will be hit by the opponent. Not long after, Qingyang's injuries became more and more serious.
There is only one way to go on like this. You must find a way to get rid of the opponent as soon as possible. If you continue like this, you will be exhausted by the opponent sooner or later. Even if you don't die in the end, if you delay too long, the group of Lingxu Gongzi will come back after finishing their business, and it will be even more difficult for you to retreat unscathed.
While Qingyang was dealing with it carefully, he took out a few talismans from the Nawu Talisman and secretly held them in his hand. When the thin man rushed towards him again, he activated and scattered them. These are low-level talismans of the middle and lower grades. Their attack power is not very strong, but they can still cause some interference to the enemy. While the opponent was dealing with the talismans, Qingyang had already used the Three Yuan Sword Formation again and covered the thin man.
The talismans and sword formations cooperated with each other, and there was also interference from the alcoholic bee colony, which finally allowed Qingyang to turn the tide and the situation became better little by little. Finally, Qingyang seized the opportunity to use a top-grade attack talisman, the Mountain Splitting Talisman, and a huge axe appeared in the air, which directly chopped the thin man's head and seriously injured him.
After a while, Qingyang finally wore the thin man to death with a lot of means, but his own situation was not optimistic. His true energy, spiritual thoughts, and physical strength were almost exhausted. Even the talismans he prepared before participating in the Chaos Demon Valley Trial were almost used up. He was covered with wounds and almost hurt everywhere.
The thin man roared unwillingly, and turned into a little light and disappeared. Qingyang was in a trance, and the yard he was in suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the interior of an ancient building.
The interior of this building is twenty or thirty feet in radius and ten feet high. Looking at the big tower door not far behind him, Qingyang finally reacted. Isn't this the interior of the Earth Center Tower? It should be that he broke the formation, or the surrounding illusion formation disappeared, so he appeared here.
The tower door was just one foot behind Qingyang, which means that after he entered the Earth Center Tower, he didn't take a single step and stood there all the time. Qingyang felt it carefully. The true energy in his body was not lost, his physical strength was sufficient, the alcoholic bees were all there, and the talismans were not used. If it weren't for the serious loss of his spiritual thoughts and a little fatigue, he really thought he hadn't experienced anything just now.
Qingyang turned his head to look at the interior of the Earth Center Tower. There was nothing surprising. Behind him was the tower door, and opposite was a staircase, from which he should be able to go up to the second floor.
On the side wall, there is an ancient painting with only three people painted on it. There is a thin man in the middle, and two strong men like iron towers on both sides. One holds a Guandao and the other holds a spear, looking at Qingyang majestically. These three people are exactly the same as the three people Qingyang fought in the illusion before, but now they have become people in the painting.
I didn't expect that I fell into the illusion, and it was actually this painting on the wall that was causing trouble. Qingyang forcibly broke the illusion, and the painting was also greatly affected. Many cracks appeared on the picture, and the whole painting was on the verge of collapse and was almost ruined.
Having come to this point, Qingyang certainly couldn't give up halfway. The more dangerous this geocentric tower is, the more important the things placed inside are. How can there be gains without taking risks?
Qingyang glanced around and didn't find anything particularly important, nor did he find any hidden dangers, so he walked towards the stairs.
I don't know what kind of stone the steps of the Earth Core Tower are made of. They have not changed for thousands of years. The steps are very narrow, only more than two feet wide, and they rotate up along the tower wall.
Qingyang went all the way to the top of the steps, and suddenly something similar to a hidden formation appeared in front of him. This type of formation does not have any offensive or defensive functions, but is just to prevent the prying of monks. It can block sight, sound, vibration, and divine consciousness. With this formation, no matter what happens on this floor, other floors cannot feel it.
Qingyang didn't know what was inside, because nothing could penetrate the barrier of the formation, and he couldn't hear any movement inside, unless he went through it directly. As for whether he would encounter danger, it was hard to say. There might be nothing over there, or there might be a mess inside, or even Master Lingxu might be ambushing at the entrance with people.
I have come here, how can I be content if I don't go up and take a look? Qingyang hesitated for a moment, and then he went through the formation. Of course, he still had the necessary protection. Before entering, he circulated his true energy to form a shield outside his body, and also held a defensive talisman in his hand.
Suddenly, it was dark in front of his eyes, and then Qingyang's figure appeared on the second floor of the Earth Core Tower. The imagined danger did not appear. There was not even a single figure in the entire second floor of the Earth Core Tower. Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and put the defensive talisman back in his hand.
The size and layout of the second floor of the Earth Core Tower are almost the same as the first floor. The only difference is that the tower door has become the entrance from the first floor to the second floor. The picture of three strong men is missing from the side wall, but there are many scrapped wooden puppets on the ground.
This wooden puppet is similar to the wooden puppet in the puppet formation that Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan's gang encountered when they were trying to seize the three treasures. Their strength should all be in the middle stage of Qi Refining, but their number is much smaller. Looking at the broken limbs and arms of the wooden puppets all over the ground, there are at least more than fifty of them in total.
