“This is trouble!”
Sensing the figure's energy cultivation, Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. Even if he used his secret technique, his cultivation was completely suppressed by the figure in front of him!
And, most importantly…
Yang Qi discovered that the figure in front of him was not the gatekeeper of the seventh floor. What did this mean
This means that the practitioner from the seventh level failed to pass the test on the eighth level!
When facing the gatekeeper of the seventh floor, Yang Qi had to use all his trump cards to win by chance. The opponent's energy body was only 70% of its normal combat power. If the opponent fought hard, he might be able to burst out with 120% of his combat power. In other words, the energy body of the seventh floor was actually only 50% to 60% of the combat power of the man who broke into the Star Tower.
Even with that man's fighting power doubled, he still couldn't pass the test of the eighth level, let alone Yang Qi who had already revealed all his cards!
Although Yang Qi had successfully defeated the gatekeeper of the seventh floor with the help of Black Flame, he understood that if he faced the man himself, he would be defeated even with the help of Black Flame.
But now, Yang Qi has to face the eighth-level gatekeeper who even the seventh-level gatekeeper cannot pass!
The figure solidified, and the man's eyes fell on Yang Qi, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "Eight-star Martial Master Early Stage?"
Although cultivation is not the only factor that determines combat effectiveness, but at this level of men, a slight difference in cultivation may be the key to determining victory or defeat. It was somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations that he could reach the eighth floor of the Star Tower with the cultivation of an early eight-star martial master.
In the era when this man lived, the gatekeeper of the seventh floor was an eight-star martial arts practitioner in the late stage, but he was eventually defeated by him!
The man looked at Yang Qi and said calmly, "I'll give you a chance to make a move!"
"I'm sorry!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and the next moment, a domineering and tenacious sword intent surged, the aura on his body rose rapidly, and wisps of black flames surged out from his body and entangled around the Qinghong Sword.
"Eh~"
The man's eyes fell on the black flame, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he chuckled, "This black flame is quite interesting!"
"The sword energy is destroyed!"
Yang Qi, who had activated all his trump cards, growled and shook his sword. A dark blue sword light slashed towards the man with unrivaled power.
"break!"
Facing Yang Qi's attack, the man shouted loudly, shook his hand, and a sharp blade light emerged, directly falling on the blue-black sword light.
"Bang~"
There was a muffled sound, and the blue-black sword light shattered, and the blade light continued to slash towards Yang Qi at an unslowed speed.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Qi was shocked.
Although he had expected that the test of the eighth floor would be more difficult, the man's strength was too strong. When he activated the black flame, the fighting power he burst out was considered extremely strong among the peak fighting power of martial masters. However, his desperate attack was easily broken by the man, and the gap between the two was obvious.
"Stop it for me!"
Completely crushed in a head-on confrontation, Yang Qi could only pin his hopes on the defense of the Inscriptionless Stele. With a thought, a phantom of the stone tablet instantly protected his body.
Bang!
As the blade fell, the shadow of the stone tablet shook slightly, and a terrifying force penetrated the shadow and fell directly on Yang Qi.
"This is… "
Feeling the terrifying force, Yang Qi's pupils shrank, and the next moment, his body was blown away by the terrifying force.
"Wow~"
Yang Qi's body slammed heavily against the stone wall of the hall, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his face immediately turned pale. It was just a single knife, even though it penetrated the defense of the inscriptionless monument, it still caused him serious injuries.
"Defend against the fake Taoist soldiers." The man looked at Yang Qi.
The man could feel that the defensive pseudo-Taoist soldiers on Yang Qi's body were much stronger than those of ordinary pseudo-Taoist soldiers, otherwise Yang Qi would definitely have been injured more than just this by this knife.
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the man in the center of the hall, and he said in disbelief, "The fluctuation of the Tao has already touched the level of the Tao?"
In the man's attack, Yang Qi felt a faint fluctuation of Tao. Without the pseudo-Tao soldiers, the man was able to trigger the fluctuation of Tao. The only explanation was that the other party had already touched the level of Tao.
A martial arts master at the peak can reach the level of Dao, and breaking through the martial arts king realm is almost a sure thing. However, a cultivator at the early stage of the nine-star martial arts master, a genius who has practiced for less than two hundred years, has actually reached the level of Dao, which is completely beyond Yang Qi's expectations. What kind of monster is this
At this moment, Yang Qi finally understood why the gatekeepers of the seventh floor could not pass the eighth floor. The gatekeepers of the eighth floor were too strong. When he came into contact with the level of Tao, even if he did not have a pseudo-Tao soldier in his hand, the pseudo-Tao soldier would not have any advantage in front of him!
“Is this your strength?” The man’s eyes fell on Yang Qi, and he said with a little disappointment, “I am so disappointed that you are only this strong. It’s just that Black Flame that I am a little surprised. But it’s a pity that Black Flame is too weak. If you can realize the perfect sword intent, maybe you can still fight me.”
Hearing the man's words, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It was not easy to comprehend the perfect sword intent!
His state of mind is already the strongest among the practitioners who have entered the secret realm, but compared with the man in front of him, it seems as if there is a chasm in front of him.
The realm of Taoism that surpasses the man in front of him is probably only a true martial king cultivator, whose cultivation and artistic conception completely crush Yang Qi. Even if Yang Qi has attack and defense pseudo-Tao soldiers, and a trump card like Black Flame, he cannot make up for the huge gap between the two.
"In that case, let's end it here!"
The man's eyes focused, and the sword in his hand slashed towards Yang Qi with a blade that was even sharper and more terrifying than before.
"What, that's not all his strength?"
Feeling the terrifying power contained in the oncoming sword light, Yang Qi's face changed drastically. He shook the Qinghong Sword in his hand, and sharp sword lights surged, and the black flames flowed to protect him firmly.
Although he knew that he was no match for the man in front of him, Yang Qi did not want to admit defeat. He wanted to rely on his powerful life-saving means to fight for a while. After all, this was the only chance he had to fight against such a peerless monster!
Snap!
The blade light fell, and the sword light shattered in an instant. The remaining power fell heavily on the shadow of the inscriptionless monument. The shadow trembled and shattered with a sound, and Yang Qi's figure was chopped away again.
Poof!
Bright red blood splattered from Yang Qi's chest, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone.
“The gap is too big.”
Yang Qi smiled bitterly. He hadn't suffered such serious injuries for a long time since he got the Inscriptionless Stele. Even if he defended with all his strength, he couldn't even deal with the man.
"Don't want to give up?" Seeing this scene, the man raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Although the black flame you control is strange, it is still too weak. If you don't give up this time, don't blame me if you die!" (To be continued)
