The three people who arrived at the dark room first collapsed to the ground.
Yu Qinghong, who had not been seen before, was sitting against the wall with a pale face. Qian Lishen was lying in a corner without any movement, his life or death unknown. Even Jiang Si, who was known as the strongest among the young generation, was wiping the blood from the corner of his lips with an unstable breath. It seemed that he didn't even have the strength to fight again.
He whispered, "Junior Sister Wen, the man guarding the formation is so powerful that the three of us fought together just now, but we couldn't last more than three moves. I, Jiang Shibadao, can't even withstand the power of the wooden sword in his hand."
Jiang Si vomited another pool of blood. His face became even more bleak and his voice became weaker. "I am not underestimating Junior Sister Wen, but this person's realm is too profound to be defeated by you and me. Fortunately, as long as we don't attack him, he won't attack anyone. So you might as well wait here with us until the Thousand Array Tower opens tomorrow."
Wen Yun thanked him politely: "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for your reminder."
She stood there without moving, but stared fixedly at the figure in front of her.
The man had his back to everyone, and his figure was shrouded in a misty snow fog, so no one could see his face clearly.
But Wen Yun had been with that person day and night for several months, how could he not recognize him
That figure was clearly Ye Shubai!
"Do I have to defeat him if I want to pass?"
Wen Yun murmured softly, his eyes subconsciously turning to his side and staring at Ye Shubai.
The latter's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to lose his composure because of the sudden appearance of his other self. He just told Wen Yun calmly, "Go, be careful."
He actually let Wen Yun go and fight that guy!
Wen Yun repeated: "Are you sure you want to beat him?"
Ye Shubai nodded and said in a very cold voice: "If you can do it, go and kill him."
Wen Yun was puzzled: "If I were a magician, it would be easier..."
Ye Shubai said calmly: "That is not a real person, but just an illusion of sword spirit. Magic can't hurt him. Use your sword to defeat him."
Wen Yun quickly regained her sanity after a brief moment of shock. She gritted her teeth, clenched the cedar wood wand in her hand, took a small step, and then bent her body slightly.
The petite girl turned into a moon-white light, suddenly drew her sword and flew towards the white figure.
The sword practitioner cultivates domineering power, while the sword practitioner takes the path of lightness and swiftness.
Wen Yun was originally a first-class swordsman, and with the previous ten days of sword formation training, her sword-drawing speed is now even faster!
Jiang Si watched in shock as she leaped towards the man in white. The simple wooden sword in her hand struck like lightning, and after three consecutive slashes, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of Wen Yun's afterimage.
However, the opponent's speed was faster than Wen Yun.
He simply swung his sword and blocked all of Wen Yun's attacks. When he raised his hand again, Wen Yun suddenly felt a tremendous pressure enveloping his heart. It was the first time he felt such a terrifying sword force!
The other person also held a wooden sword in his hand. He swung it with ease and simplicity, and it seemed as if thousands of sword blades were stabbing at her. There was no gap in the entire space and no way out!
Wen Yun gritted her teeth, took out a handful of magic scrolls and threw them over. Although she couldn't hurt the other party, the violent fluctuations caused by the magic explosion still gave her a chance to survive. Wen Yun cast an agility spell on herself and quickly avoided the sword energy that was attacking again.
It’s so scary! This guy’s sword is more terrifying than the ten thousand swords in the previous sword formation!
Just then, the familiar voice sounded again.
"One, stab."
"Dui two, block it."
"Gen seven, counterattack."
The tacit understanding that was previously cultivated in the sword formation made Wen Yun's body subconsciously follow Ye Shubai's voice after hearing it. Every move was a perfect avoidance, and he even began to turn defense into offense, gradually counterattacking!
Under Ye Shubai's command, she had already started leaping to a safe position before the opponent's sword was drawn!
To Jiang Si and Yu Qinghong, who were still sober, this scene was no less than thunder in broad daylight.
"She predicted that man's sword attack!"
Jiang Si suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the scene in disbelief.
The three of them could not last more than three moves at the hands of the man in white, but now it seems that Wen Yun has successfully avoided the opponent for more than ten rounds, and even gradually seems to be at ease!
It's so terrifying. He clearly doesn't have any spiritual power, but he can reach such a terrifying level just by relying on swordsmanship.
Who exactly is this unknown Junior Sister Wen? She has reached such a profound state in the art of formations, and now possesses such superb swordsmanship. Why have I never heard of her name before? !
Yu Qinghong covered his chest with his hands, frowned, and stared at Wen Yun's every move with complicated eyes.
Wen Yun was completely immersed in the battle.
She cast countless enhancement spells on herself, which greatly improved her speed and strength.
After dodging the opponent's attack once again, Ye Shubai, who was standing behind him, suddenly flew over and gave the last order in a calm voice -
"Aim at the heart and kill."
Wen Yun's hand immediately stabbed towards the other person's chest, but when she was only half a meter away from the other person, she finally saw the face clearly through the hazy snow fog.
The beautiful face was so pale without a trace of blood, the eyes were dead silent without any light, and as cold as ice and snow.
Just before Wen Yun's sword pierced his chest, another identical face appeared from behind, and the light magic wand in Ye Shubai's hand had already pierced his chest.
She pursed her lips and looked into Ye Shubai's eyes.
This picture is too weird, as if...
He killed himself with his own hands.
However, Jiang Si and Yu Qinghong could not see Ye Shubai. In their eyes, it was Wen Yun who pierced the heart of the man guarding the formation with a sword. With his terrifying swordsmanship, he passed this level forcefully and thoroughly!
Jiang Si couldn't hide his excitement and shouted, "Junior Sister Wen! Awesome!"
Yu Qinghong's eyes also lit up.
Wen Yun looked at the illusion with complicated eyes. No blood flowed from his pierced wound. The man seemed like an ice sculpture, gradually melting into this world.
"bite-"
A small piece of white jade fell to the ground.
Wen Yun was about to pick it up, but saw Yu Qinghong, who was originally sitting with the zither in his arms, suddenly struggled to get up and walked towards him.
His gaze lingered on the broken jade for a moment, and then he looked at Wen Yun, a smile on his pale face: "Junior Sister Wen, I have heard a lot about you. My name is Yu Qinghong."
Wen Yun politely responded: "I have long admired you, Senior Brother Yu."
Yu Qinghong seemed to cough with his hands covering his lips, and a trace of blood flowed from the edge of his pale lips. He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped it clean with graceful movements.
He said: "Junior Sister Wen, if you can break this formation, the first place will belong to you, but I have an unwelcome request."
Wen Yun replied calmly: "Please speak."
"My zither was just destroyed, and the jade ornament given by my late mother that was hung on it also turned to dust. I see that this piece of jade is quite similar to mine, and I just want to find my beloved thing back."
He raised his hands and bowed, and said in a very sincere tone: "Please give me your love, Junior Sister Wen."
Wen Yun broke the formation, so the things that fell naturally belonged to her. Yu Qinghong was very kind, and I think a girl like Wen Yun would not refuse such an emotional approach...
“What a pity.”
Wen Yun bent down and picked up the piece of white jade, and said seriously: "I have a connection with it. It should become my favorite thing in the future. I can't give it up."
Yu Qinghong's face froze.
Seeing that Wen Yun was about to leave, he hurriedly said: "Junior Sister Wen, I am willing to exchange it for ten thousand pieces... no, one hundred thousand pieces of top-grade spiritual jade!"
Wen Yun stopped walking, a smile appeared on her face, and she threw the jade in her hand to Yu Qinghong neatly: "If that's the case, why not give it to Senior Brother Yu?"
Yu Qinghong took the broken jade, but he didn't laugh at Wen Yun for being greedy for money. Instead, he took out a mustard seed bag and threw it to her: "Thank you, Junior Sister Wen, for giving me this. This is 100,000 top-grade spiritual jades. Please keep it!"
Wen Yun took the mustard seed sac with a smile, not panicking at all.
The last wave was broken, and the Thousand Array Tower slowly emitted a faint light. Whether it was the contestants trapped on the first floor, or Qian Lishen who was lying unconscious on the tenth floor, they were all wrapped in this faint light and sent to a high platform.
At this time, the powerful men from various sects who had been indifferent all flew over, but their target was not Wen Yun, but Yu Qinghong.
"Qinghong boy, those are my things from Fubuki Island, you can't take them away."
Qian Zhenzi had a smile on his face, but his gaze and tone had turned cold, and the pressure from his peak tribulation period was directed at Yu Qinghong without any concealment.
At this moment, the old ancestor of the Yu family who was in the Tribulation Period came over and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Qian Zhenzi, this young man is ignorant and doesn't know the truth. Please don't be offended."
Yu Qinghong was already seriously injured, and now under Qian Zhenzi's pressure, his mind was about to break. The white jade in his hand could not be grasped firmly, and fell to the ground weakly...
The moment the broken jade appeared, all the bigwigs who were originally laughing suddenly lost their breath, and their eyes became extremely complicated and... greedy.
However, Qian Zhenzi quickly took the white jade into his pocket. He then relaxed his frown, glanced at everyone, and reminded them lightly—
"Don't forget the promise we made that year."
The crowd, who had been almost unable to contain themselves, finally managed to retract their thoughts, but their eyes still could not stop looking at Qian Zhenzi's mustard seed sac, almost burning it through.
Wen Yun was also secretly observing these people.
After seeing Qian Zhenzi put away the white jade without any suspicion, she breathed a sigh of relief and then quietly looked at Ye Shubai beside her.
These powerful people in the Tribulation Realm did not even notice that the white jade had been replaced.
Wen Yun had seen similar jade before, and vaguely realized that this thing was extremely important to Ye Shubai.
So even though she lived a very poor life, she would not sell the jade to Yu Qinghong.
The truth is... the real broken jade was absorbed by Ye Shubai from the beginning.
He didn't know where he found another piece of broken jade that was difficult to distinguish the real one from the fake one and switched the two. He fooled everyone over, even the strong ones in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
As for Wen Yun, this piece of jade had never entered her mustard seed bag. She just sold the jade for money, and Jiang Si was there to testify.
Even if Qian Zhenzi found something wrong later, he would only suspect Yu Qinghong and not her.
but…
Wen Yun was still puzzled and asked in a low voice: "What exactly is that jade?"
"In the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators will condense a Nascent Soul clone. When they reach the Spiritualization stage, the Nascent Soul in their Dantian will turn into gold. When they reach the Tribulation Crossing stage, the gold will turn into jade again. If the jade infant is strong enough, there is hope that it can withstand the thunder tribulation and ascend to heaven in broad daylight."
He paused and said calmly: "Those two fragments are fragments of the Jade Infant of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
Wen Yun was puzzled: "Is there a difference?"
Ye Shubai hummed and replied: "The piece I put down was the fragment of the Jade Infant of the Demon Cultivator. Although it was just some garbage, there was no clue on the surface."
After he finished speaking, he took out a handful of white jade fragments.
"These are all fragments of the Jade Infant of the Demon Cultivator. If you want to play with them, I'll give them all to you."
