The originally bustling area around the stone tower soon became deserted.
However, not all the people from the six great kingdoms and the four great empires entered the Demon Suppression Tower. Instead, it seemed that they had already made arrangements for Sikong Yan, Gongmen Jin, Gongsun Hongyu and others to enter the stone tower in an orderly manner. They spread out to the left and right, tightly surrounding the formation gate.
Obviously, both Gongsun Hongyu and Sikong Yan immediately left behind backup plans.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Qian, who had temporarily restrained Ximen Yangping's loss of life, frowned slightly, immediately picked up Ximen Yangping, and quickly retreated. Under the gaze of the two parties, he slowly left the cobblestone path and disappeared into the dense forest. In the jungle.
Now that Ye Wushuang entered the stone tower and Ximen Yangping was seriously injured and unconscious, it would be dangerous for him, a warrior with the initial level of cultivation, to face two people. Therefore, Nangong Qian immediately weighed the pros and cons and decisively quit. The vortex field.
However, even so, the moment Nangong Qian's figure disappeared completely, among the four controlled warriors from the empire, several warriors from Beiming and Dongyue suddenly walked out and quickly chased in the direction Nangong Qian left.
At the same time, a man dressed as a general among the warriors from the Dilan Kingdom also winked to the left and right. Several warriors from the six kingdoms understood what they were doing and walked down the steps one after another to catch up. .
Obviously, neither party intends to let go of Nangong Qian who has lost his protection!
At the same time, in the outer area of Ten Thousand Beast Ridge, in the lush mountain forest, a figure fell from the sky like a cannonball, smashing several giant trees with a rumble and crashing into a low mountain.
The earth trembled, trees swayed, dust flew, and rocks flew.
The solid low mountain that had existed for who knows how many years began to tremble violently, and ferocious cracks spread throughout its body!
"Ahem..."
In the low mountain, a figure almost embedded in the stone wall coughed violently, and his body slid uncontrollably from the sunken stone wall and collapsed to the ground.
The dragon robe was in tatters, and his long hair was messy. Gongmen Tianyu looked gray and dusty. He had completely lost his previous heroic appearance and mighty domineering appearance. Instead, he became like a beggar, leaning against the foot of the mountain, breathing heavily.
On his pale face, a wisp of bright red blood was constantly overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Run, why don't you keep running?"
A cold sneer sounded suddenly at this moment.
Before he finished speaking, a stunning figure with a sword flew through the air and landed in front of the short mountain in an instant.
The person who came was wearing a sword robe and had a long sword at his feet. Although his white beard and white hair were messy, he looked energetic and majestic. Especially the body standing on the long sword was as tall and straight as a mountain, not angry but powerful.
Exactly, Tao Jingyun!
"Sect Master Tao, do you insist on killing them all?"
Seeing Tao Jingyuan, Gongmen Tianyu covered his chest with his right hand, sat up slightly and shouted angrily with an ugly face: "In the final analysis, there is no deep hatred between you and me; if you hadn't intervened rashly, nothing would have happened next." things."
"Now that I have lost, I just have to admit defeat; I can even apologize to Sect Master Tao and make compensation. Why is Sect Master Tao so determined to kill me?"
"Apology? Compensation?"
Tao Jingyuan stepped down from his sword, landed gracefully on the ground, and said calmly: "A mere apology from the Lord of the Upper Kingdom, and a mere compensation from the Supreme Kingdom's heritage, I still look down upon it!"
At this point, Tao Jingyuan made a move with his right hand, and the long sword floating behind him suddenly made a hiss and fell into his hand.
Then, he stretched out his long sword, pointed at Gongsun Tianyu in the distance, and continued: "I have never been so humiliated since I was born; even when I participated in the Baiduo Branch Sword Master Competition at the Tengjian Sect headquarters, I have never been so humiliated.
It’s as embarrassing as today.”
"Break off my arm, destroy my appearance... I must come out with this tone!"
"Tao Jingyuan!"
Hearing this, Gongmen Tianyu suddenly became angry.
A hint of ferocity appeared on his originally pale face, and he cursed angrily and shouted: "Tao Jingyuan, do you really think this emperor is afraid of you?"
"Don't say it's you. Even if your master Zhou Jianteng is here and knows the identity of this emperor, he will still stay away. Now that I have humbled you again and again, don't be ignorant!"
Previously, he had no choice but to rush into Tianmen and into the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge in an attempt to escape Tao Jingyuan; but unexpectedly, this old guy who was over fifty years old was also a stickler.
Not only did he chase after him, but he also forced him out of hiding in the depths of the jungle by relying on his powerful cultivation in the illusion.
After that, they chased him like a dead dog for a whole day and night, forcing him to almost commit suicide.
Now, in the face of his begging for mercy, Tao Jingyuan is still so unwilling to forgive, just to let out a sigh of relief.
This is humiliation, a naked humiliation to him!
"Oh? You still have the energy to talk so shamelessly. It seems that the pursuit of hundreds of miles has not made you tired!"
Tao Jingyuan was not angry at the moment. Instead, he just grinned, was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Well, you are not tired of running, and I am tired of chasing you. Now, I will send you on your way early to brag to those monsters in the underworld!
"
Before he finished speaking, Tao Jingyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense. He shook his right hand and pointed at Gongsun Tianyu's long sword, which suddenly shone brightly with cold light.
In his opinion, Gongmen Tianyu was just nonsense when he was desperate.
What is the identity of his master Zhou Jianteng?
One of the three major sects in Zhongzhou, the chief sect leader of the Tengjian Sect with branches covering almost hundreds of counties in four continents. He was once the disciple of the Wushuang Sword Emperor, the first famous Sword Emperor in the Heavenly Sword, and is now a famous Emperor Realm warrior.
Not to mention the lord of a superior kingdom, even the overlord of a borderland or even the lord of a divine kingdom must be polite and show courtesy when meeting his master.
And who is Gongmen Tianyu?
He is just the lord of a small country in Donghuangbuzhou, which is known as a wild and remote place. He is not even worthy of carrying his master Zhou Jianteng's shoes, so he has the nerve to talk about it here. Knowing his identity, he wants to stay away?
This is simply nonsense!
Whoa...
A sharp sword light shot out at this moment, bringing out the sound of hunting wind in the void, heading straight for Gongsun Tianyu!
"Shameless!"
Seeing this scene, Gongmen Tianyu was completely annoyed. He stood up with a loud noise and cursed angrily: "I will show you today what it means that there is heaven outside the world and there are people outside the world!"
At this moment, Gongmen Tianyu seemed to have chosen to show off his cards directly and no longer pretended. Looking at the sword light that turned around, he narrowed his eyes and saw two golden lights suddenly appear.
"King Kong is indestructible!"
Buzz...
With a loud shout, the void around Gongmen Tianyu trembled.
Golden light burst out, and a thick and solemn aura fell from the sky and suddenly disappeared into Gongmen Tianyu's body.
call...
Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Tianyu, who originally had a weak aura and looked extremely weak, suddenly had a sharp aura, and a faint golden halo appeared all over his body.
Clang...
The next moment, the sharp sword light roared over and struck Gongmen Tianyu's chest in an instant. Countless fireworks shot out and stopped there.
Not only did it fail to harm Gongmen Tianyu at all, but it instantly collapsed under the flash of golden light on its surface!
"Buddhist Kung Fu?"
Seeing this scene, Tao Jingyuan, who was originally confident, couldn't help but frown and his eyes widened with surprise.
Although he has never set foot in the Western Desert, he has some understanding of the Buddhist country that occupies a continent and has its own sect that can compete with the martial arts of the entire continent.
Especially the highly recognizable golden light of Buddhism made him immediately recognize the source of the technique Gongmen Tianyu was performing at this moment.
However, as early as tens of thousands of years ago in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the defeated Buddhism retreated to the Western Desert and never appeared again. Now, except for those monks who have lived in seclusion in the Western Desert all their lives, there have long been no Buddhists in the other four continents.
No trace of Dharma left.
How does Gongmen Tianyu practice Buddhist techniques?
"Humph, you are quite knowledgeable!"
Gongmen Tianyu was glowing golden at this moment, like a stone statue made of pure gold. He was majestic and domineering. He looked at Tao Jingyuan with his head raised, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes. He said with an arrogant expression: "Since I lived in seclusion in the Eastern Wasteland,
For thousands of years, during which time I have experienced countless lives and deaths, I have never shown any Buddhist skills."
"Now, you have forced me out; very good, Tao Jingyuan, this time, you must pay the price for your arrogance!"
Before he finished speaking, Gongmen Tianyu took a step forward. In the bright golden light, he crossed a hundred meters in an instant and suddenly appeared in front of Tao Jingyuan. Without any hesitation, without any hesitation, he directly formed a fist with his right hand and punched it out.
"Arhat Fist!"
boom...
The sky changes color and the wind and clouds disperse.
The entire spiritual energy in the void retreated at this moment, and the light dimmed; as if at this moment, only that golden fist was left, with unparalleled power that shattered the sky and shattered the earth, hitting Tao Jingyuan directly.
Seeing this scene, Tao Jingyuan's calm expression finally changed. His expression changed slightly. He was caught off guard and had no time to dodge, so he could only subconsciously block with his sword.
boom...
A dull collision sound suddenly occurred, and Tao Jingyuan flew away like a sword from a string, directly smashing several towering trees and flying hundreds of meters away!
Whoosh...
However, at the next moment, Gongmen Tianyu, who seemed to have the upper hand, did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Instead, he moved his feet, turned around and ran away without hesitation, directly turning into a golden light, sticking to the ground, and flying towards the core area.
go.
Bang...
At the same time, Tao Jingyuan, who was covered by dozens of towering trees, scurried out from the branches and leaves in a panic, soared into the air, glanced at the empty low mountain, and then looked towards the little gold that had disappeared in the dense jungle.
Mang looked over, his expression slightly startled.
"Fooled!"
Tao Jingyuan suddenly woke up, and his originally fearful expression turned into overwhelming anger.
The Buddhism skills that Gongmen Tianyu suddenly revealed just now really made him feel wary, and even gave him a strong sense of precaution; after all, although Buddhism is not unfamiliar in the martial arts world of Tianjian Continent, it is quite familiar.
Strangely, the impression has long been formed in every warrior's mind that they should be extra careful when encountering Buddhist cultivators.
But who would have thought that Gongmen Tianyu's display of Buddhism took advantage of this to make Tao Jingyuan feel on guard, mistakenly thinking that the other party was going to fight him desperately, and then neglected to seal the way out, giving Gongmen Tianyu an opportunity to escape!
"The majestic lord of the country is actually trying to trick Chen Cang in secret. How shameless!"
Tao Jingyuan, who thought everything clearly in an instant, cursed angrily, and immediately moved his feet, turning into afterimages and galloping towards the core area!
...
The core area, inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
Ye Wushuang, who was the first to walk into the stone tower, stopped the moment he entered the tower and looked around.
Behind him, Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruo'er followed closely, staring at the surroundings cautiously, looking up and down.
The stone tower is not wide, less than twenty meters in diameter, and has almost no facilities or furniture. Looking at it, it looks empty and quite quiet.
Moreover, unlike the mottled and primitive stone walls outside, almost the entire body of the Demon Suppression Tower is made of wooden structures, with wooden boards paving the ground and wooden pillars supporting the tower body; even above, there is an empty tower that is a hundred meters high.
The ridge is also crisscrossed with large and small beams, just like a wooden tower.
It is really unimaginable that this is actually a taboo place used by the Demon Court to imprison great demons in ancient times!
"Sir, this Demon Suppression Tower seems to be empty. It doesn't even have floors. You can almost see it all at a glance."
Chu Yuntian was the first to speak at this moment, expressing the doubts in his heart, and asked blankly: "How did the Demon Court suppress those sinful monsters in the first place?"
The evil demons that can be suppressed by the Demon Court in the Seven-Star Demon Suppression Tower are at least upper third-level demon beasts, and may even be super-level great demons; they are comparable to the illusions of martial arts, and the great powers of the two realms.
And the existence of powerful men in the imperial realm.
Just relying on this stone tower made of pure wood, even if there is a powerful formation, it will be difficult to suppress it, right?
At least, with Chu Yuntian's cognitive ability, even if the big demon couldn't break the formation, it could still destroy a mere wooden tower with ease!
"That's because..."
"Humph, what can a frog in a well understand?"
Just as Ye Wushuang was about to explain, a sneer suddenly came from behind him.
Before he finished speaking, hundreds of figures rushed in like a flood, making the stone tower that was not even wide suddenly seem crowded and overcrowded!
Gongsun Hongyu walked out of the crowd at this moment. When he passed by Chu Yuntian, he glanced disdainfully, then quickly withdrew his gaze, stood side by side with Ye Wushuang, and said: "The Demon Suppression Tower is actually an inverted tower."
"The body of the tower is actually inserted upside down into the ground; and the stone tower we see outside is actually just the projection of the Demon Suppression Tower on the ground."
Inverted tower?
projection?
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuntian, Lin Ruo'er, and all the warriors around them all looked confused.
Even Sikong Yan and Gongmen Jin looked at each other with confused expressions.
"You can think that where we are standing right now is a calm lake."
Gongsun Hongyu further explained at this moment: "The Demon Suppression Tower I see now is actually just the projection of the Demon Suppression Tower in the lake; and the real Demon Suppression Tower is actually hidden under the lake."
"In other words, the real Demon Suppression Tower is actually right under our feet!"
