Chapter 308 (2/2)

According to the information provided by Chen Jiu, even Deity treasures would be crushed by the undercurrents in the starry sky.

This was also why they had to go along the Meteor Bridge! One must pass through the Sky-Reaching Vine.

“The last obstacle.”

Xue Ying looked at the countless white meteors that formed the long bridge. At the end of the bridge, the final hurdle rested; it was also the obstruction with the highest difficulty.

Swordsmen!

If one moved by themselves, they would confront one silver-armored swordsman! If four people came up together, it would be four swordsman.

One must know that at the Floating Sky Island, one faced a large amount of Stone Sculpture Protectors, Previously, each individual had to face a team of Flying Venomous Scorpions, but now at the end of the Meteor Bridge. It was merely one swordsman!

Why?

Because this one silver armored swordsman was actually very strong! It was comparable with a Deity World Soldier that had just become a Deity. Reportedly the ‘Moon Deity Heart’ that it had grasped had profound mysteries and laws. The Moon Deity Heart was a third grade Deity Heart. It seemed as if it was equivalent to General Ku Meng, Nuo Nuo An, Ba Han, and the Old Thief’s realm, but they were no match to the other side’s foundation, which was too strong. This was a realm Deity Soldier from the Deity World. His pure power and speed had already reached an astonishing degree. Perhaps it was even above Lord You Lan, Chen Jiu, and the Meishan Clan Master! His entire body was also impregnable, and with its level of profound mysteries and laws, it was not inferior to a genuine Deity.

One on one…

Fortunately, beating them was unnecessary. As long as one found a way to pass through the Meteor Bridge, they succeeded!

“Old Thief, Uncle Fu, take care, we only need to pass through here. Then, we’ll break through the Sky-Reaching Vine… After you’ve helped me through the early stages, you can turn back!” Chen Jiu said, “Your mission will be completed, but you must be careful. The opponents we face this time will be four silver-armored swordsman.”

“En.” Uncle Fu and the Old Thief nodded their heads.

Crimson Rock Mountain had two main trial segments.

The first segment, Floating Sky Island and Meteor Bridge…was the easiest. For Chen Jiu, Xue Ying, Lord You Lan, and the Meishan Clan Master, it was easier to move by themselves! To bring a companion, one actually needed to split attention and look after them.

But arriving at the second segment was different. Uncle Fu could use Deity Scrolls to assist his manor master, and Old Thief could use Illusion Avatars to help probe around. They were both helpful! After aiding in the first segment, they could return, as the further one ventured, the higher the requirements. They were unable to continue following.

So, Chen Jiu had brought them through the first segment for the sole purpose of having them help on the Sky-Reaching Vine.

“Brother Chen Jiu, facing the silver-armored swordsmen, I’m afraid it’s hard to split attention and look after you.” Xue Ying stated, “I’ll use the Mirage Avatars to confuse them as much as possible, but I’m afraid I can’t do anything else.”

“I understand.” Chen Jiu smiled and nodded.

One on one, the silver-armored swordsman was very difficult.

They were also worried about Uncle Fu and Old Thief! Although Old Thief had Illusion Avatars, the silver-armored swordsman’s sword light was too fast. Deity realm Deity World Soldiers were already exceedingly fast, and sword lights granted by the Moon Deity Heart seemed more like a crescent moon…it passed in a single flash! One slash could easily behead eight or ten Illusion Avatars within a hundred meters.

Uncle Fu was in even more danger!

Chen Jiu could only think that, with his eight arms’ power, he would aid Old Thief and Uncle Fu as much as possible.

…

On the latter half of the Meteor Bridge, they kept flying for about a day until they finally arrived at the end.

At the end of the white Meteor Bridge, four swordsmen, attired in silver armor, stood. The silver armor on their body was unadorned and resembled the white meteors. Their faces appeared as chiseled as a hatchet’s edge, and each one carried a sword on their back.

The four swordsmen stood side by side, each one a meter apart and indifferently looking at Xue Ying and the others.

“If you act alone, your chances are slightly bigger. If you four act together, we’ll cooperate. Hmph.” One of the silver-armored swordsmen spoke up. Xue Ying and others hadn’t even spoken a word.

If they went alone, the two of them would find it easy, but Uncle Fu and Old Thief would be in danger. If they moved together, Chen Jiu could at least shield his companions. Xue Ying wouldn’t split his attention, but he might act if it was within his capabilities. He would definitely save himself first, however.

Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!

Xue Ying and the others immediately changed into flowing light and charged forward. As they charged forward, a group of Illusion Avatars and Mirage Avatars suddenly appeared, and Xue Ying faded away into the Mirage.

“Mirage? Leave this one to me!” one of the silver-armored swordsman’s body flashed. As a Deity Realm’s Deity World Soldier, its refined body was extraordinary, and it easily entered the Mirage.
