"What reward?" Gao Han asked.

"Huh? Senior Brother, don't you know what the reward is? Then why did you come to participate in the challenge?" Junior Sister Xu tilted her head, revealing a cute and puzzled expression.

Gao Han calmly asked, "If you don't know what the reward is, can't you come and participate in the challenge?"

"Of course not." Junior Sister Xu was afraid that he would get angry and not take her with him, so she quickly denied it.

“The reward is actually the sect master’s own experience and understanding of the battle formation, and it is also the only reward.

Gao Han raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What are the sect leader's thoughts on the battle formation?"

"That's right, that's why Senior Brother Luo and Senior Brother Xu came to challenge. Senior Brother Luo has been learning formations since he was young and is obsessed with them. With the sect master's current level of cultivation and understanding of formations, many people definitely can't match him, so everyone wants to get the sect master's reward." Junior Sister Xu explained.

Gao Han probably knew why Master Tian Dao threw him into the illusion in the back mountain.

If he said he didn't know about it, he wouldn't believe it.

But Master Tian Dao didn't say anything to him. Was it because he had confidence in him or because he felt that as a beginner, he would definitely not be able to compete with others?

"I understand." Gao Han nodded to show that he understood.

Junior Sister Xu waited for a long time, but he didn’t say anything else. Is that it?

This Senior Brother Gao, no matter which peak he is from, it should be no mistake that he is a disciple of Zixiao Sect.

He is so strong, if I can follow him all the way, maybe I can get through this.

When Gao Han was about to study the ice formation thoroughly, he suddenly found that there was someone beside him.

"Why are you still here?" Gao Han turned around and saw Junior Sister Xu, frowning and asked.

"Ah?" Junior Sister Xu was stunned for a moment, "I'm not here, where should I be?"

Gao Han said, "Aren't you going to break through?"

Junior Sister Xu finally understood and laughed awkwardly, "Brother, aren't you going to pass the level?"

"I'm studying the formation." Gao Han seemed not to see through her purpose.

Junior Sister Xu hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, Senior Brother, with my strength, it's already good enough that I can get here. If I go out now, I will definitely be killed by the demon."

Her eyes were shining, and she looked at Gao Han pitifully and with a hint of weakness.

"If you are not strong enough, it is better for you to go out. You can come back to challenge it later." Gao Han retracted his gaze, turned his back to her, and said lightly.

The corners of Sister Xu's mouth twitched. Did this person really not understand, or was he just pretending not to understand? She gritted her teeth and said, "But this is a rare opportunity. The Sect Master doesn't always give rewards. If the same thing happens again, I guess I'll have to wait until the hell-level illusion."

Gao Han glanced at her. There was such a statement, but it was not difficult to guess. The level of this illusion was at most difficult, not even hell level.

"Then you should work hard. I have something else to do."

Gao Han said this without giving her a chance to answer, and turned around to enter a formation.

"Senior Brother!" Sister Xu looked at the direction where he disappeared and stamped her feet. Senior Brother Fan had gone out. She finally had the chance, but the other party was so unromantic. Although she was not the most beautiful woman in Zixiao Sect, she was not ugly and had many suitors. She was so proactive, but he was not moved at all.

"I don't know where Senior Brother Luo and Senior Brother Xu are."

Junior Sister Xu murmured to herself, after the formation changed, Senior Brother Luo also disappeared. She didn't know whether he was teleported to another place or killed by a demon. The latter was unlikely.

Gao Han was attacked as soon as he entered the formation, and the one who attacked him was Senior Brother Luo.

Luo Fan thought it was a demon, but when his attack was avoided, he realized it was Gao Han.

"It's you." Luo Fan recognized the man who had stood with Fan Yiping and the others not long ago, and guessed that he might be from another peak. "Which peak are you from? Where are Junior Brother Fan and Junior Sister Xu?"

"Main peak, one has gone out and one is probably still alive." Gao Han said as he looked around. It was too quiet.

The longer you stay here, the clearer it becomes.

The formation in the illusion is changing and shrinking all the time, and the danger you encounter becomes greater as you go further into the future.

Luo Fan had met many disciples from the main peak, but none of them was Gao Han. However, he did not ask further. He had met many, but not all of them.

"Be careful next time, the real crisis is coming." Although he was an opponent, Luo Fan still gave him a warning before leaving.

Because they are rivals, they cannot act together, which is really a world of difference from Junior Sister Xu.

Not long after Luo Fan left, Gao Han heard the roars of demons coming from all directions.

Gao Han suddenly jumped up from where he was with a loud bang.

After landing, he saw a powerful demon appearing where he had just stood. The demon was the strongest he had ever seen since he entered the illusion formation.

A commander-level demon, even if it is only in the early stage, is quite dangerous.

Gao Han was not confident that he could kill the other party. A commander-level demon would be difficult to break through just by its physical defense.

The demon's two strange, constantly shaking eyes caught sight of Gao Han's figure. Without giving him time to prepare, its two legs stomped on the ground, making a rumbling sound.

Gao Han quickly took out the knife from his body, the fourth of the Eight Divine Swords, and slashed out without hesitation.

The two swords fell on the demon, generating violent airflow.

After Gao Han made these two slashes, he turned around and ran away.

A demon of this level appeared in the illusion. He didn't believe that the elders of Zixiao Sect wanted the disciples in the formation to kill this demon.

It is not very reasonable to use this as a test. If this is really a test of the formation, then the final result must be related to the formation.

While escaping, Gao Han looked back and saw that the commander-level demon was indeed unharmed, which made him more certain of his guess.

The key to victory should not be the monsters, but the formation in the illusion, so there is no need to fight to the death with the monsters.

The demon was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, the distance between the two was less than fifty meters.

Gao Han's five fingers quickly pinched various spells. The spiritual power in his dantian, combined with the Zhenyang Heart Method, cast a series of spells wherever he ran.

When the demon behind him was about to touch Gao Han's back with its sharp five claws, several flames fell from the sky.

It was the fire formation that was broken by Gao Han.

The flame array effectively hindered the demon's movements, allowing Gao Han to escape from his claws.

Not long after he left, a man broke in unexpectedly.

"Several demons are besieging me. It's so scary." The person who came was Junior Sister Xu. Not long after leaving Gaohan, she encountered demons and was chased here. She accidentally broke into the formation. She was relieved when she saw that the demons were no longer chasing her.

Behind her was the commander-level demon that Gao Han had gotten rid of. After sensing the breath of a human cultivator, he came over and saw Junior Sister Xu with her back to him.

Junior Sister Xu was completely unaware, and when she turned around to leave, she was met with the dark and ferocious face of the demon.

She was completely unprepared at such a close distance, and before she could even scream, she turned into a streak of white light and was teleported away.

"Ahhhhh!" Standing in the wide square, Junior Sister Xu screamed a little late, her mind filled with the terrifying faces of demons.

The fellow disciples around were startled by the sudden sound.

The changes in the formation were very small, but Gao Han still discovered it.

"It's shrunk again. Why is it this time? Is it because of the decrease in the number of people or because of time?"

Gao Han knew nothing and was not sure what the reason was.

But he knew that the crisis was bound to get bigger and bigger.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sound of fighting suddenly coming from the front.

"I didn't expect it to be a demon at the commander-in-chief level. If it continues like this, we won't be able to hold on."

"This great commander-level demon is about to break through. It will be disadvantageous for us if we delay it any further."

"Now it is this demon that has come to haunt us."

"We must get rid of him. The reward for this level is the sect master's knowledge of formations. We are now in the formation. Brother, can you hold on for a moment? Once I have integrated the formation, I can teleport this demon out." Xu Qinghao said to another man.

"I'll try my best, but I'm not sure if I can hold on." The young man took a deep breath.

Xu Qinghao immediately withdrew himself. As soon as he left, the man's pressure suddenly doubled.

When Gao Han came over, he happened to see the young man being beaten and vomiting blood.

When he saw the other person at the edge of the formation, he knew what the two were planning.

This illusion formation has a special feature: the formation here can be refined and integrated, and then set up again, making it easier to set up the same formation than outside.

The young man was just about to tell Junior Brother Xu that he could not hold on any longer when he suddenly noticed Gao Han's presence.

Looking at the direction of Junior Brother Xu again, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Gao Han, and the demon behind him was also brought over.

"I'm sorry, junior brother." The young man showed a hint of apology as he was about to run up to Gao Han.

There is only one reward from the sect leader, so fellow disciples are all competitors here. If he wants to ensure the safety of Junior Brother Xu, he can only sacrifice Gao Han.

Even if he didn't do this, it would be almost impossible for this junior brother to make it to the end.

When he discovered Gao Han, the man noticed that he only had the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They were in the Golden Core Stage and it was so difficult for them to get through, let alone the Foundation Establishment Stage.

We are all going to die anyway, so it doesn't make any difference whether it's early or late, right?

As the man thought about it, he convinced himself.

The moment Gao Han saw the man rushing towards him, he understood that the man was planning to divert the trouble away and use himself to buy some time for his companions.

The long sword began to vibrate, buzzing with its desire.

The strong wind blew up Gao Han's clothes, the wind was freezing, the sword energy condensed and made a scary noise, and his eyes like cold stars stared at the man rushing towards him.

The rich sword energy emitted faint electric light due to the mutual collision and friction.

The man met Gao Han's eyes and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He saw Gao Han raise his knife, and when the knife fell, the void roared.

The chaotic and fierce sword energy burst out, shaking the spiritual energy in the air like turbulent flow, and the sword light fell on his head.

The man felt a huge sense of crisis. Even if he was not killed by the commander-level demon, he would die by this knife.

He tried his best to avoid it to the side.

Fortunately, Gao Han's sword was not aimed at him. The sword light passed by him and landed on the demon behind him.

The violent sword energy merged into the demon's body, broke through his defense, and destroyed the flesh and blood under his skin. The demon instantly turned into a blood demon.

This is not over yet. Gao Han, who knows how powerful the commander-level demon is, quickly slashed out with another sword, still the fourth of the Eight Divine Swords.

The fourth sword strike overlapped with the previous one, and the turbulent sword energy entered and tore the demon's body like a harvester.

The remaining sword energy in his body is not so easy to dissipate and will only continue to destroy the demon's body.

Although he failed to kill the demon completely, he was seriously injured in an instant.

The man watching from the side was so shocked that he didn't even care about his arm which was shattered into powder by the blade.

He was mistaken. This young man had only the cultivation level of the great perfection of the foundation building stage, but he actually, actually severely injured a commander-level demon!

"What are you still standing there for? Kill this monster quickly." Gao Han looked at the man with a cold gaze.

The man reacted and had no time to think about it. He attacked immediately. He was a Jindan cultivator. After exhausting all his spiritual power, he finally killed the seriously injured demon.
