Chapter 63 The beginning of elimination
Xie Changsheng took a deep breath and said angrily: "Don't you always teach people this tone, okay?"
Xie Rou smiled, her face exuded a cold light, and she looked at Xie Changsheng provocatively, and said, "If you want to avoid being taught a lesson by me, at least you have surpassed me in your practice now and can beat me before you can talk about it."
Xie Changsheng clenched his fists, his face pale slightly, and he said angrily: "I will definitely surpass you."
Xie Rou still smiled and said, "That's the best, otherwise if you can't even beat a disciple of Li Lingjun in the future, that would be a real embarrassment."
Xie Changsheng lowered his head and stopped talking. At this time, Duanmu Refining on the stage had already finished all the rules of the sword sacrifice trial.
The eyes of most people once again focused on He Chaoxi.
Among all the students who participated in the sword sacrifice trial, He Chaoxi, Zhang Yi and Su Qin had the highest cultivation level, and they were all above the middle level of the third level. Perhaps Zhang Yi and Su Qin would be closer to the top level of the third level than him, but the gap here would not be too big, and the Green Vine Desert and Rose Art practiced by He Chaoxi might have unimaginable magical uses.
In terms of physical strength, it is obvious that He Chaoxi, who has spent a lot of time cultivating, has strong energy.
Under such rules, He Chaoxi is naturally the person with the most hope of winning.
However, among the many people watching He Chaoxi at this moment, Mo Chen didn't think so.
He knew that he would definitely surprise everyone in this sword sacrifice trial.
...
All students who participated in the Sword Sacrifice Trial began to march along the mountain path towards the entrance of Sword Sacrifice Canyon.
No one checked whether they had food privately, because in the next three days, all the students in the Sacrifice Sword Canyon would not be able to see above because of the formations in it, and would even get lost inside and go a lot of unjust paths. However, the viewers above could see their every move clearly on the hanging platform.
Ding Ning followed in the middle of the team, and the mountain path downward became wider and wider, but in the end it did not lead directly to the bottom of the canyon. What appeared in front of them was a cliff with a drop of about ten feet.
There are hundreds of green vines hanging straight at the bottom on the cliff.
Even though he had not seen the sword sacrifice trial in Qingteng Sword Academy, Ding Ning guessed that all the students who participated in the trial would fall into the canyon through such vines. As long as there was a slight time difference, the magic circle below would naturally separate them.
Duanmu Lian, who walked to the cliff ahead, said without any nonsense, and said seriously and coldly: "Each person chooses a vine and goes down, and it takes twenty breaths."
"You have to be careful."
Nangong Caishu looked at Ding Ning and said softly with some concern: "Don't be impatient."
Ding Ning knew what the real meaning of her words was, so he smiled slightly and said, "So too, if you can't beat them, run away. No one knows what will happen in the end after such a long trial."
Nangong Caishu recalled the meaning of Ding Ning's words, and as the students in front of her began to slide down one after another, she glanced at Ding Ning, "Are you going to be the first or I?"
Ding Ning said, "I'll get it first."
Nangong Caishu looked at him and said seriously: "I hope you can always be ahead of me."
Ding Ning smiled slightly, "Thank you for your good words."
...
It was Ding Ning's turn, Ding Ning's movements were very slow and very careful.
He squatted down, grabbed the vine with both hands, hung his body down, and then clamped the vine like a bamboo pole, slowly slid down.
The figure slowly fell into the forest below, and Nangong Caishu, who was waiting behind him, was filled with deep worries in his eyes.
After all, no matter how talented you have in cultivation and comprehension, some of your body's movements and reactions will take time to practice.
Ding Ning's actions at this moment seemed too clumsy compared to any other practitioner.
However, for Ding Ning at this moment, the most difficult thing is to try to be clumsy and not let so many viewers see that he is too agile.
After all, today's battle is no better than the battle against so many people in the dark alleys that day. This is the first stop that officially appeared in front of the Changling cultivator, and he cannot be unscrupulous.
His feet landed steadily and confirmed that the grass below could carry his own weight, he began to look at the surrounding scene.
Looking down from above, the canyon covered with various giant vines was clear, but it was divided into countless maze-like passages by numerous small trees and giant vines. However, when he really fell into this place and stepped on the soft land at the bottom of the canyon, he saw thin mist everywhere around him.
Moreover, this fog is not an ordinary white fog, but a strange faint blue color.
This kind of fog seems to have little hindrance to seeing things in the distance, but it has a strange refractive effect, which makes everything around it slightly distorted and hazy.
The vines around are also completely different from those when looking down from above.
When looking down from above, it seems that there is still some open space between some trees and vines. However, standing here, I see that the trees and vines are airtightly connected, with only some arch-like passages.
The ears were silent. Those students who came down almost the same time as him should be not far away from him, but they did not hear any footsteps. It seemed that the magic circles here also had the effect of isolating sounds. In this way, it would be difficult to avoid and pursue some enemies through sounds. The chance of encountering battles suddenly increased greatly, and the difficulty of hunting animals also increased greatly.
According to the detailed rules mentioned before Duanmu Refining, if you enter the canyon, if you don’t leave immediately, it will be considered a violation of the rules when you wait here. So Ding Ning began to move and walked towards an arch-like gap in front of him. At the same time, he closed his eyes slightly and began to feel quietly.
He felt that the heaven and earth vital energy here was indeed very disordered. Under the interference of the countless green vines absorbed and released by the surrounding areas, the heaven and earth vital energy here was like countless chaotic swords floating inside.
This arrangement is useless for practitioners above the sixth realm. It can use the true energy accumulated in the body and the heaven and earth vital energy directly to open up a channel of vital energy that communicates with the heaven and earth outside the array. However, it is enough for students in their realm.
Looking down from the hanging viewing platform between the vine bridge above, the entrance to the Sacrifice Sword Canyon is crowded.
Because nearly a hundred students slid along the vines to this range at one time, for those who watched the ceremony above, this area is now full of people.
Even in the area dozens of feet, there were four or five students moving forward, but they didn't notice each other at such a close distance, which made the whole picture look a bit ridiculous.
Xie Rou's eyes always followed Ding Ning.
At this moment, less than ten feet away from Ding Ning, there was a student from Qingteng Sword Academy.
This student at Qingteng Sword Academy is named Zhao Qing.
He is from Zhao Dipinghu. He passed the exam in the eighth year of Yuanwu. He was admitted to the Qingteng Sword Academy two years earlier than Nangong Caishu. Although he is still only at the top level of Qi refining, just like most students in the Qingteng Sword Academy, he is still unable to break through to the third level.
However, any place in Changling where practice is practiced is more stringent for candidates from Zhao, Han and Wei who were not previously affiliated with the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Qing was naturally more outstanding in his ability to enter the Qingteng Sword Academy than the general students of the Qingteng Sword Academy.
The strength of his arms is naturally many times larger than that of ordinary teenagers of the same age.
This is a natural physique relationship. His father was originally a famous Lishi in Zhao.
The strength of the arms is naturally beyond ordinary people, so you can use many swords and sword techniques that ordinary people cannot use.
Therefore, he usually uses a broad sword that weighs several times more than an ordinary long sword, and his sword technique is also a great combination of the Qianfeng Sword Sutra.
A sword with extremely heavy weight and wind-like speed, its power is naturally amazing.
So deep in Zhao Qing's heart, he didn't think he had no hope of winning.
Because he had already had a trial of the sword sacrifice, he knew very well that this was not a competition that anyone could win if he walked quickly. He walked even more cautiously and slowly than Ding Ning.
Just as he had just walked slowly through an arch-like gap, several green vines suddenly stretched out silently and approached his back.
When these living creatures were still several feet away from his back, Zhao Qing, who was extremely vigilant, finally reacted, shouted loudly, pulled out the broad sword he was carrying with his right hand like lightning, and swung it backwards.
A few light bursts sounded.
These several green vines were shocked into countless green debris by his sword.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another green vine stabbed out like a sword in the forest beside him.
The surface of this green vine is flashing with a cold light that is different from the few green vines just now.
Zhao Qing realized something and his face suddenly changed.
A sharp shout broke out from his mouth again, and the true energy in his body no longer stingy to the broad sword in his hand.
Several straight talisman lines on the broad sword in his hand lit up, and a snow-white sword energy shone out all over his body.
The sword energy at the front of the broad sword is particularly strong, and a ball of several feet square gives people the feeling that he is not using a sword, but rather using an axe.
With a sound, the sword vines intersected, and it made a sound of gold and iron hitting.
His body shook slightly, and this obviously different green vine was also cut off by his sword.
However, at this moment, a chill suddenly arose in his heart.
He subconsciously looked down.
The fallen leaves under his feet suddenly jumped up like a boiling sound.
Several tiny vines instantly wrapped around his ankles, and the momentary pulling caused his body to lose balance and he leaned forward.
The broadsword in his hand flashed again and cut it down.
With a few puffs, all the vines under his feet were cut off by him, but at the same time, he could no longer stop the vines shot from the front again.
He was dragged several feet on the ground, then hit the tree wall, and was tied tighter and tighter by more vines. Not to mention swinging the sword, even breathing became more and more difficult, and his face turned red.
Zhao Qing cried out in tragic voice.
He was extremely unwilling, but he knew that the only thing he could do at this time was to stay still and stop struggling.
"Why is the sword sacrifice trial this year so much harder than in previous years?"
When such questions flashed uncontrollably in his mind, many people's screams also sounded in the Sacrifice Valley, but they were all isolated by the unique formation.
Looking down from the viewing platform in the air, the mountains and forests at the entrance of the Sacred Sword Canyon have turned into a boiling green sea.
There were many people fighting in panic, with countless broken branches and leaves of vines flying, and many were already entangled like him and unable to move, and could only accept the result of failure from the beginning.
All the students in the Qingteng Sword Academy who were in it had the same idea as him at this moment.
Why is this year's sword sacrifice trial so difficult?
In previous years, in such areas, it was impossible to have particularly powerful vines that they habitually called the Vine King.
However, this year, not only has the number of attack points that seem to be attacked greatly increased, but it seems that there will be such a vine king in each attack point.
At the edge of the viewing platform, Di Qingmei's mouth was now at the corner of her mouth.
He naturally understood the shock and confusion in the hearts of these students at this moment, because this change was precisely his instruction.
No matter how difficult it is, it is fair to everyone, but this can better guarantee that He Chaoxi is like that, the person he wants to win will win.
...
On the other side of the viewing platform, Xie Rou frowned slightly.
Compared to other places, Ding Ning seemed to be quite calm on his way.
But at this moment, she saw a slight abnormal movement in the vine forest that looked like a wall beside Ding Ning.
Several vines that were originally hanging softly suddenly poured in a certain force and became hard, like several small swords, beginning to stab out quietly.
