Chapter 192 Something is wrong with you. Is the devil so reckless? (4000)

In front of the Black Corner Building.

Zhang Yuanzhu and Xie Beiling walked side by side.

They looked at the light curtain covering the corner tower. The lines on the light curtain flowed, carrying a rough and wild atmosphere.

This is an ancient formation, not as sophisticated as the one Zhang Yuanzhu learned, but it has its own unique skills.

Ordinary formation masters simply cannot break it.

"Brother Dao, this formation is too ancient. Can it be broken?"

Xie Beiling asked.

Unlike ordinary formations, the formation covering the Black Corner Tower was most likely arranged by Jindan Zhenjun himself.

Zhang Yuanzhu did not reply immediately, but a white hand stretched out from under the light.

He pressed the light curtain and stroked it gently.

The boy tapped his forehead.

"The formation has existed for too long, and its power has almost been exhausted. Plus, the Black Horn Secret Realm is special, so breaking it is not difficult."

"But even I need some time."

The girl in the black dress smiled brightly and soothed:
"We have plenty of time and can wait."

Zhang Yuanzhu shook his head and tapped his palm lightly.

The array pattern was generated at the fingertips, contacting and merging with the runes in the light curtain, causing ripples.

"I mean, it will take time to completely crack this formation, but it will only take a cup of tea to open a passage. After all..."

The young man paused, a strange smile appearing on his face:
"The greatest purpose of the formation covering the Black Corner Tower has never been to stop the enemy, but to preserve it."

"save?"

Xie Beiling murmured, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

Hua Hua Hua~
The sound of rolling waves brought the girl back to her senses and she looked over there.

The light curtain in front of him had already opened up a passage.

Zhang Yuanzhu's face was calm, his arms hanging down, and he instructed:
"Next, follow my pace. If you make a mistake, things will be troublesome."

"it is good."

Seeing that the girl had listened carefully, he no longer hesitated.

Take a step forward and enter the formation.

Xie Beiling followed closely behind.

Zhang Yuanzhu stepped on the formation pattern and moved forward slowly, ignoring the surging light and fierce murderous aura around him.

He walked towards the Black Corner Tower step by step, dropping a formation plate from time to time.

About an incense stick of time passed.

Two figures walked out of the formation, one in front and one behind.

Ta Ta Ta ~
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the space.

Today, after a long time, the Black Corner Tower welcomes living creatures again.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood on the floor with a serious expression, looking around.

Vast, empty, and rugged—that was his only thought.

The ground is paved with black stones, extending forward with no end in sight.

Each jade pillar is like a mountain, standing on the earth and supporting the floors.

Apart from this, ninety-nine stone sculptures in different postures stood in front of the jade pillar without any movement.

Zhang Yuanzhu and Xie Beiling just observed quietly and did not speak first.

The atmosphere is quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yuanzhu took a step forward and walked towards the nearest jade pillar.

塔~
The young man stopped and first looked at the stone sculpture of a monkey next to the jade pillar, and then he turned his gaze to the jade pillar.

The jade pillar is tall and crystal clear, with murals and texts engraved on it.

The writing was too old for him to recognize, but he understood the descriptions on the murals.

The picture depicts the process of a demon monkey from birth to death.

He was strong since childhood and defeated all the tribes. Then he roamed the earth and fought against the monsters one by one.

Of course, humans also appeared in the picture, either kneeling or being eaten as blood food.

Densely packed murals cover the jade pillars.

"Brother Dao, look here."

Xie Beiling exclaimed.

The young man turned sideways and looked at the beautiful woman in the black dress.

The other party pointed at the last handwriting on the jade pillar and said word by word:
"Once you enter this building, you are eligible to inherit my legacy."

"But I must not be a mediocre demon. In a battle of the same realm, the one who defeats the puppet will enter the second floor of the Black Corner Tower and choose a spiritual object. The loser will be the one who defeats the puppet."

"die!"

Listening to the girl's words, Zhang Yuanzhu's pupils flickered and his arm rested on the hilt of the knife.

"Fellow Daoist, do you recognize the words on the mural?"

"The ancient demon language is recorded in the ancient books of Liuyu Peak."

Xie Beiling explained.

The purple aura on her delicate body grew thicker, and she whispered:
"This should be a trial. The winner will enter the second floor of the Black Corner Tower."

"Brother Dao, you will definitely pass."

Zhang Yuanzhu did not respond.

Instead, he stretched out his hand, stroked the words on the jade pillar, and suddenly spoke:
"I wonder if you could teach me some of the demon language. It shouldn't take too long."

Xie Beiling frowned.

Don't you trust her?

"Don't overthink it. I saw a scene of sacrifice on the mural and I want to learn more about it."

The young man looked calm as he brushed his hand over a group of kneeling humans and the apes sitting above.

"Of course I believe Brother Dao."

Xie Beiling smiled charmingly, reached out her slender hand, took out a jade slip from her storage bag and handed it over.

"I think with Brother Dao's talent, he will be able to master it quickly."

Zhang Yuanzhu's hand slid down from the mural, took the jade slip, and examined it carefully.

Deep in the soul, on the Seven Wonderful Treasures Tree, the bark of the Sala tree trembles gently, and the [Characteristic] heart bursts out.

He mastered the ancient characters of the demon race at an extremely fast speed.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Yuanzhu raised his head and looked at the mural. The words that were once unfamiliar to him could now be understood.

He first glanced at the last few lines of text on the mural, and it was indeed as the girl said.

Then, the young man turned his gaze to the sacrificial mural on the jade pillar.

Sure enough!

His expression gradually became serious, and he read every word carefully.

You should know that the essence of "Nuo Mask Witchcraft" is a way of sacrifice, using blood, masks, and patterns to communicate with "God".

However, Zhang Yuanzhu defeated and tamed the so-called "God" and treated him like a dog.

Judging from the few words and pictures in the murals, the sacrifices are an extremely ancient, bloody and barbaric method of sacrifice.

But by applying what he has learned to other situations, he will still gain a lot.

Study it carefully and commit it all to memory.

Then he carefully observed the statue next to the jade pillar.

Then, he walked towards other jade pillars, continued to study and research, and even took out jade slips to write them down.

These events from long ago, the descriptions of sacrifices, and even the various lifelike statues may be the greatest gains of the trip to Black Corner Tower.

When Zhang Yuanzhu was observing the jade pillar and the statue, Xie Beiling's eyes flashed with understanding.

'Is it about sacrifice, or beasts?'

The girl whispered in her heart.

She suppressed her restlessness, removed the purple air that enveloped her body, and began to memorize the murals on the jade pillar.

For a moment, the first floor of the corner tower fell into silence, and the two people strolled in it, constantly collecting information.

As time passed, Zhang Yuanzhu gained more insights into "Nuo Mask Witchcraft" and had some ideas of his own.

If I tame the beast as a 'god', then one day, will I be able to engrave it?
The boy raised his head.

His gaze seemed to be able to see past numerous obstacles and see the eternal world.

The corners of his mouth were wide open with a wanton grin.

'No hurry! No rush! ! '

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his head and continued to observe the scene on the jade wall.

one day!
Two days! !
Three days! ! !

Four full days passed before Zhang Yuanzhu and Xie Beiling finished this "special" training.

They stood in the center of the corner tower.

"I believe that Brother Dao has gained a lot in the past four days."

The girl smiled faintly and walked towards a jade pillar.

"Let me try this trial for Brother Dao first."

"Okay." Zhang Yuanzhu nodded and did not argue.

Xie Beiling came to the jade pillar, stretched out her delicate hand and pressed it on the bottom of the mural.

hum~
With a slight tremor, the jade pillar burst into rays of light, which instantly filled the entire world.

Then, a hoarse and dull voice echoed in the corner tower.

"There are two trial participants, the weakest of whom is at the eighth level of Qi training. Now all trial participants and puppets are suppressing their cultivation to the eighth level of Qi training."

"During the trial, no external objects may be used."

As the words drifted, lines appeared on the floor, and the light around them grew brighter.

The two combined to form a large net that covered everything below.

In an instant, Xie Beiling's breath weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Yuanzhu's aura remained unchanged, and he looked calmly at the formation pattern emerging on the floor, with thought in his eyes.

Then, he turned his gaze to the statue next to the jade pillar.

The sculpture is of an extremely strange monster, with a body like a centipede and limbs like the forelegs of a mantis, with sharp edges.

This is an extremely ferocious beast. It grows and kills along the way, and is finally wiped out by a demon clan of a higher level.

Click!Click!
Layers of stone chips fell away from the statue, revealing a strange beast.

boom!
A flash of knife light flashed, with an extremely sharp edge, and slashed towards the girl's neck at a rapid speed.

Cruel, violent, and without any mercy for women.

Xie Beiling's face showed seriousness, and he took a quick step to avoid the knife's flash.

Put your five fingers together and chop upwards.

Stab it!

Sparks flew and the purple slashed, but only left a shallow cut on the shell.

The strange beast lunged forward, its limbs spreading out one by one, like heavenly swords emerging, carrying the unique coldness of metal.

Then, kill!

Boom!

Everything in the world was disappearing, and only the fierce sword light remained.

The black stone floor shattered and the jade pillars jingled.

Even Zhang Yuanzhu, who was watching the fight on the side, had a look of interest on his face, and the long sword at his waist made a clanging sound.

"Pity!"

The young man sighed, with regret in his eyes.

Unfortunately, the puppet had no wisdom after all, so it could not satisfy him, nor could it defeat the witch.

While I was thinking, the knife light had already dissipated.

Xie Beiling was wearing a black dress and walked forward. Apart from her pale face, she did not suffer any injuries.

She stretched out her jade hand, and spells burst out, attacking continuously.

At the same time, he clenched his fists and fought the strange beast in close combat.

For a moment, swords flashed everywhere and fists shadows were everywhere.

The man and the demon started the most intense fight.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl broke all the limbs of the strange beast and cut off its head.

Snapped!
Xie Beiling threw the wreckage away with a faint smile on her pretty face.

Her black dress was stained with blood, but she did not look disheveled, but rather had a unique beauty.

"I'm sorry to have laughed at you, Brother Dao. I actually wasted so much time just to kill a puppet."

Zhang Yuanzhu shook his head and chuckled.

"The strength of this strange beast puppet is not weak. I am surprised that you killed it head-on with your body without using any magic weapon."

Although they are geniuses in one realm and one technique, their bodies are extremely strong.

But the monster undoubtedly has an advantage in terms of physical strength, and the girl uses her own weakness to attack the enemy's strength.

Xie Beiling smiled charmingly and did not respond. Instead, she slowly walked to Zhang Yuanzhu's side.

"Brother Dao, have you chosen your puppet?"

"That monkey."

Zhang Yuanzhu came to the jade pillar that the two had first observed.

Without any movement, the covering of the ape statue began to crumble, revealing the true puppet.

A golden monkey.

His body is covered with thick hair, as if cast in gold, and he looks very majestic.

roar~
With a roar, the earth trembled, and the surging fighting spirit surged like a wave.

Zhang Yuanzhu's pupils were half-closed.

Step forward and raise your arms.

Take action!

With just one simple movement, all the fighting spirit and roar disappeared into thin air.

A white hand crossed the space in an instant and pressed on the golden monkey's face.

Boom!

The golden monkey was thrown directly into the air.

The entire puppet's body was like noodles, pulling and rolling, plowing a long groove on the floor.

Dust rose up all over the sky, but the golden monkey never stood up again.

Zhang Yuanzhu withdrew his hand and looked at the motionless puppet from afar.

He turned sideways, looked back at the girl, and raised the corner of his mouth.

"It's over, we should go to the second floor."

The calm voice woke Xie Beiling up.

She was well aware of the puppet's power, yet now she was crushed to death by a single palm strike.

In the same realm, if 'she' attacks with all her strength, can she compete?

breathe~breath~
Xie Beiling took a breath and nodded his forehead lightly.

He walked to the side of the young man and, following the instructions on the jade pillar, pressed his palm on the groove on one side.

Zhang Yuanzhu made the same move.

In an instant, there was a flash of light, and the two figures disappeared in front of the jade pillar.

Changing the perspective, I looked again and found myself in a new world.

The corner tower was dim, with candles burning to dispel the darkness.

Zhang Yuanzhu withdrew his gaze from the surroundings and looked forward. Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps stood in front of him.

You can vaguely see a few balls of precious light flashing at the top of the steps.

"My strength is back."

Xie Beiling whispered on the side.

"You can't fly here!"

She looked at the steps ahead, her eyes filled with thought.

After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke:
"Defeat the puppet on the first floor of the Black Corner Tower, and you will receive a spiritual object as a reward on the second floor."

The girl pointed at the precious light on the steps.

"It should be stored on the steps, and we need to get it."

Zhang Yuanzhu remained silent.

He narrowed his pupils and stared at the stairs.

He stretched out his right hand, and with a flash of green light from his wrist, he quickly moved towards the stairs.

When the corpse climbed up the first step, Zhang Yuanzhu frowned slightly.

The corpse felt a pressure, like a hill pressing down on the snake's body.

The boy had no expression on his face.

A thought.

The green snake began to climb again, rapidly upwards, and the pressure from all directions was also increasing rapidly.

Forty steps!
One hundred steps!

Two hundred and sixty-six steps!

The green snake climbing upwards suddenly stopped and went back down.

A green shadow flashed by, and the corpse was wrapped around the wrist again.

Zhang Yuanzhu explained under the girl's puzzled gaze:
"The connection between me and the corpse becomes weaker and weaker as we climb higher. If we continue upwards, the connection will be completely severed."

Afterwards, he told Xie Beiling about the pressure on the steps.

"Is it still a test?"

The girl murmured, stepping forward and climbing the stairs.

As she took the first step, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked back:

"Brother Dao, the pressure is not as great as you describe. The test should be based on personal cultivation."

Before the words fell, he continued to climb.

Zhang Yuanzhu frowned and looked at the woman's figure walking away.

He felt a little awkward.

There is something wrong with the other party!
