Chapter 309 (2/2)
Only he, with the help of the Illusion Avatars to instantly switch over, could rescue Uncle Fu in time.
He! The mountain-goateed old man Old Thief blocked the sword light with a lightning dagger in his hand.
Peng!
It was blocked!
The waning moon-like sword struck upon that dagger, but the terrifying power contained within the bent blade erupted, immediately pressing down on the dagger and continuing to slash upon the mountain-goateed old man’s body. Although he wore a Demigod-rank robe on his body, the terrifying power contained by this slash…still pounded through the robe onto the mountain-goateed old man’s entire body. His body was sent flying backward, wide eyes as round as a ball.
This time, his true body blocked it. Because the illusion puppets absolutely could not block it.
Chen Jiu, who was rapidly rushing over, immediately waved his arms, angrily swatting at the silver-armored swordsman. The silver-armored swordsman blocked the eight arms with one strike yet was sent tottering backward.
At this time, Uncle Fu carried Old Thief and immediately fled toward the end of the Meteor Bridge. In this short instant, he had already escaped.
“Go.” Chen Jiu also immediately flew away.
…
At the other end of the Meteor Bridge, they stepped onto muddy soil.
Xue Ying was the first to arrive. Immediately after was Uncle Fu, who held Old Thief.
“Old Thief.” Uncle Fu held Old Thief in his arms, incomparably anxious.
“Old Thief, how are you.” Chen Jiu rushed over.
The mountain-goateed old man smiled. “Help manor master…” Just after speaking these words, his entire body completely disintegrated, changing into nothingness. Under that fearsome strike, Old Thief’s body couldn’t hold on at all and was completely destroyed on a particle level. Only his formidable soul stubbornly let his body hold on, but once he opened his mouth, he collapsed and was destroyed.
“You, why are you so foolish.” Tears pooled in the bald-headed old man Uncle Fu’s eyes. “You clearly knew you couldn’t block, yet you did! Old Thief, Old Thief!”
Old Thief grasped the True Meaning of Illusion.
This True Meaning caused Old Thief’s own power to not be too strong. His strength was not dominating and was just as weak as the Mirage was offensively. Although the Illusion was a bit better, it was still weak! Old Thief’s attacking power was only comparable with the Xia Clan’s top three ranks. Normally, his original body switched with his illusions, causing his survivability to be extremely formidable as well as his assassination ability.
“I know; I know that Old Thief recognized that because I am a Transcendent Mage, I’m more useful to manor master.” Uncle Fu’s tears flowed. In the Flying Sword Manor, he and Old Thief were affectionate brothers
Chen Jiu’s eyes also faintly reddened.
Uncle Fu was his elder; Old Thief was also his elder.
He didn’t expect that they would die here! Damnit, if his strength was a bit more powerful, he would have been fine tangling up three silver-armored swordsman.
…
The following teams also arrived one after the other.
The Meishan Clan Master’s team was separated. The black-robed man used a Deity Scroll to move forward alone, successfully passing through. The Meishan Clan Master lead the white-robed young lady and also successfully passed through. Their team was still intact.
The golden-robed youth Jian Huang, alone, naturally passed through.
The last team—Wu Ma Hai’s team— lost his final companion, the tall and thin man Ba Han, who also died under the silver-armored swordsmen! After all, Wu Ma Hai was neither eight-armed nor skilled at ranged attacks, so he could only handle one silver-armored swordsman. Although the strength of that Ba Han was rather high, and despite almost being at the end of the bridge, he was still beheaded by a slash!
Four teams.
Meishan Clan Master’s team was in good condition.
Xue Ying and Chen Jiu’s team lost one person.
Wu Ma Hai and the golden-clothed youth Jian Huang’s teams only had one survivor.
“Everyone’s arrived.”
The atmosphere was clearly rather depressing.
The Meishan Clan Master, the only one with an intact team, started to speak. “Everyone had understood that upon entering Crimson Rock Mountain, nine will die while only one lives. It’s a gamble of life! Now we’ve already passed the Meteor Bridge. In front of us…is the Sky-Reaching Vine’s foot. There, we should be able to obtain some necessities.”
Crimson Rock Mountain’s master…
Originally in the Deity Realm, he used Crimson Rock Mountain to accept disciples, attracting numerous Demigods! This first part was actually a type of charity!
As long as Demigods with adequate strength, or perhaps good fortune, came, passing the Meteor Bridge would result in receiving some rewards and favors! As for the Sky-Reaching Vine…that was the real brutal screening.
“Let’s go.” Looking at the gloomy earth in front, as well as the faraway lofty Sky-Reaching Vine of endless height, Xue Ying spoke up.
“Go.”
The Meishan Clan Master, Dong Bo Xue Ying, golden-robed Jian Huang, Wu Ma Hai, white-robed young lady, black-robed man, Uncle Fu, and others walked in the direction of the Sky-Reaching Vine. Although their losses were big, they had already anticipated this before entering the trials. Since it already happened, they had no choice but to accept the outcome! They could only continue to forge ahead!
