Gu Yifeng stared ahead, and suddenly a dazzling golden light shone from his body. Countless shadows of staffs gathered around his body, forming a huge and boundless golden bell defense that enveloped him.
With a deafening roar, endless sword light struck the golden bell defense, causing a violent shockwave. The defense shook wildly, yet it did not shatter.
Gu Yifeng's expression was indifferent. He stretched out his palm, and the golden bell defense immediately floated in mid-air. Terrifying rule runes jumped on the surface of the golden bell, releasing a terrifying pressure.
An overwhelming sealing power descended, enveloping the world. Luo Yunshan's expression changed, as if the vital energy within his body was sealed, making it difficult to circulate. This caused his heart to clench violently; he had completely forgotten that this was the Nine Profound Tower.
Gu Yifeng pointed his finger out from a distance, and instantly the golden bell shone with unparalleled brilliance. One after another, incredibly thick chains shot out with overwhelming force, so fast that they could not be caught by the naked eye. In an instant, many silver sword lights were pierced by the chains, turning into clusters of light particles that dissipated into the world.
Luo Yunshan stood there frozen, his face filled with deep fear. How could this be? How could this golden bell possess such terrifying power?
"Thump, thump, thump."
In the vast and boundless void, a thunderous roar resounded, followed by a bolt of purple lightning that cleaved through the sky and struck Luo Yunshan directly. Luo Yunshan's body trembled violently, and he was sent flying thousands of meters away, crashing off the arena. He spat out another mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale and bloodless, completely losing his fighting ability.
"Pfft." Gu Yifeng also spat out a mouthful of blood, his face slightly pale. He stared at Luo Yunshan and said coldly, "This is a lesson for you. If you dare to offend me again, you will die!"
After saying that, he turned and walked off the stage, preparing to find a quiet area to heal his wounds.
Luo Yunshan lay on the ground, watching Gu Yifeng's departing figure. The hatred in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. He had to avenge the humiliation he had suffered today, or he would never be satisfied!
"How is your injury?" Luo Yunshan asked, looking at Gu Yifeng. Luo Yunshan's attack did not actually touch Gu Yifeng's body, but formed a protective barrier around him, allowing him to block the terrible attack.
"It's nothing," Gu Yifeng said, shaking his head.
Gu Yifeng nodded, then took out a pill and handed it to Gu Yifeng. After swallowing the pill, Gu Yifeng's face regained some color. Then he looked at the other eight arenas to see how they were doing.
He must go through this trial.
"Brother Gu, I'll draw away the other people's attacks for you later." Xiao Muchen said to Gu Yifeng. He knew that it would be difficult for Gu Yifeng to pass the fifth level with his strength, but he would do his best to help him. After all, he owed Gu Yifeng a life, and if he didn't repay it, he would live with guilt for the rest of his life.
Gu Yifeng paused for a moment, then his eyes flickered before he nodded and said, "Okay."
Although this would increase the risk, since Xiao Muchen was willing to pay the price, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Gu Yifeng and Gu Yifeng exchanged a glance, and then Gu Yifeng clasped his hands in thanks to Xiao Muchen, saying, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Xiao Muchen said calmly. Then, he looked in another direction and said, "It's your turn to fight."
Following Xiao Muchen's gaze, Gu Yifeng couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. There stood a handsome young man, exuding a refined and gentle temperament, like a young master from a noble family. But Gu Yifeng clearly remembered that he was Li Yulong, whom he had met at the restaurant that day.
"Do I know him?" Gu Yifeng muttered to himself, but he quickly dismissed the thought. He probably didn't know him; it was probably just a coincidence. After all, he didn't have many friends in Nanyang County.
Seeing this, Xiao Yulin also walked towards Li Yulong. She looked at Li Yulong with her beautiful eyes and said, "Please enlighten me."
Li Yulong looked at Xiao Yulin with a smile and nodded, seemingly showing her great respect. Then he raised his palm and gently patted the void. Instantly, an invisible force spread out, enveloping the entire arena. Countless runes lit up, like countless stars, dazzling and brilliant. Complex star patterns appeared in the void, emitting a peculiar power.
These star patterns began to rotate continuously, gradually merging into one, vaguely forming an array. In the center of the array, there was a door.
"This is an illusion array!" Many people were shocked, realizing that the purpose of this illusion array was here.
"This formation is very powerful and requires the cooperation of people of the same cultivation level." Gu Yifeng glanced at the scroll in the void, a strange light flashing in his eyes. It seemed that Li Yulong was leaving himself a way out. If he encountered a crisis, he could retreat into the formation and save his life.
Gu Yifeng suddenly understood why Li Yulong had been defeated by his opponents time and time again. It was because none of his opponents knew how to break the illusion array. Fortunately, his opponents were relatively weak and not to be feared. If he encountered a stronger opponent, the illusion array would be ineffective.
"After entering the illusion array, there will be a rest period of three incense sticks. During this time, various attacks will be generated within the illusion array. Only by overcoming these attacks can you pass the test. Of course, if you fail to pass within three incense sticks, you can choose to give up, but one person will be eliminated." The referee announced loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, many people showed a hint of urgency, clearly having heard the rules.
Gu Yifeng glanced at Gu Yifeng, and seeing Gu Yifeng nod slightly, he then stepped into the array.
As soon as Gu Yifeng stepped into the array, he felt an immense pressure sweep over him, as if he were in an endless starry sky. He frowned, and then his vision blurred. He seemed to have entered an independent space, where tall and majestic palaces stood, exuding a vast and boundless aura.
"This..." Gu Yifeng froze, wondering where he was.
Just as he was wondering, a terrifying wave came from afar. He looked over and saw powerful demonic beasts closing in from all directions, covering the sky and enveloping Ancient Peak. These demonic beasts were all ferocious and savage, filled with violent and bloodthirsty aura. Their eyes were scarlet like burning flames, releasing a destructive light, as if once they were illuminated by this light, their souls would collapse and be annihilated.
“Roar, roar…” A series of roars and howls rang out as the demonic beasts raised their heads and roared angrily, their bodies exuding an extremely terrifying aura, like demon gods. Each of them was at the seventh level of the Yuan King realm, and there was even an eighth-level being, which was beyond the seventh level of the Yuan King realm.
