PNB Chapter 1479 Too scary
Chapter 1479 Too scary
Yu Heng's sword strike was entirely aimed at killing the enemy, so naturally he showed no mercy whatsoever.
Xu Xingmu coughed up mouthfuls of blood, and excruciating pain in his chest spread throughout his body like a tidal wave.
All sorts of pills were stuffed into his mouth at once, probably emptying Yu Heng's storage pouch. He looked even worse than Xu Xingmu, the one who was stabbed, and his voice was stammering, "Hold on, you...you mustn't die here."
Otherwise, given Gu Xia's protective nature, wouldn't she chop him into eight pieces when she finds out about this?
The thought of this possibility sent a shiver down his spine.
This way of dying is just too terrifying.
Xu Xingmu stretched his neck with difficulty.
Fortunately, he shifted his body slightly when he realized something was wrong. Although it seemed like a tiny bit, it was enough to avoid a fatal blow in that sudden situation.
Otherwise, he would probably be completely finished by now.
"Stop stuffing it in." Xu Xingmu was about to choke on the pills and his eyes rolled back. He was weak and said, "If you keep stuffing it in, I'll choke to death."
Even so, as he lost blood, his face quickly turned pale.
"I really don't know what happened?" Yu Heng scratched his head, organized his thoughts, and then roughly explained what had just happened.
He felt that he was really unlucky.
The eldest brother couldn't be rescued, and the culprit wasn't caught either.
Instead, it almost got him killed.
If all else fails, go back to your clan and ask someone to perform a divination.
Of course, if we go by that logic, Xu Xingmu, who was almost killed on the spot by his sword, would be even more unlucky.
He did not doubt Yu Heng's explanation.
We all know each other so well that although we might occasionally insult each other, we wouldn't actually go so far as to kill each other.
The Five Sects absolutely forbid their disciples from killing each other.
It was at this moment that they noticed the silent changes around them. Although it looked no different from before, the injured Shen Weixun, the opponent Qu Yimian, and the opponent who ambushed Yu Heng had all disappeared without a trace.
If it weren't for the pain from the stab wound that was still reminding him, he probably would have thought that everything just now was a hallucination.
Xu Xingmu was certain that he had not sensed Yu Heng's presence at all, so it was impossible for the other party to appear out of thin air behind him and strike him with a sword.
After summarizing their experiences, it was as if an unknown force had separated them into two unrelated spaces.
Then, at the very last moment, it was as if the barrier used to conceal the opening was opened.
This is so strange.
The two sword cultivators, who were not usually fond of using their brains, looked at each other, surprisingly without engaging in a confrontation.
They belatedly realized that something extremely serious had happened.
If everything is as they think, then their fellow disciples are probably in danger as well.
*
Xu Xingmu and Yu Heng's guesses were not unfounded.
If someone were to look down from above at this moment, they would see that amidst the endless greenery below, the branches and vegetation have silently divided the landscape into battlefields of varying sizes.
All his close disciples were trapped in that one space.
This place is like an ancient labyrinth that has been awakened, operating according to an elusive pattern, instantly merging the barriers between spaces together.
Caught off guard, several of their close disciples were unable to stop in time, and the stench of blood spread, reaching even the most hidden corners.
"This is unbelievable!"
Gu Xia, pulling Jiang Chaoxu who still looked shaken, smiled awkwardly and asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, are you alright?"
Jiang Chaoxu: "..."
Does he look like he's alright?
The blunders that Xu Xingmu and Yu Heng made were nothing compared to his.
Jiang Chaoxu was on his way to find his fellow disciples when he sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated, crushing the poison bottle in his hand and throwing it away.
However, to his surprise, someone was faster than him.
Gu Xia's sword came hurtling towards him, hovering precariously less than an arm's length away from Jiang Chaoxu.
If she hadn't reacted quickly and forcibly withdrawn her attack...
Jiang Chaoxu dared not even think about what would happen next; he only felt a chill run down his spine.
He touched the strand of hair that had been cut off by the sword energy, his lips twitching uncontrollably. "I'm still alive, no need to worry."
The power of the tribulation was too strong. At such close range, it caused Jiang Chaoxu's entire sea of consciousness to tremble. He silently swallowed a pill to calm his frightened heart.
It's so scary.
He almost, just a hair's breadth away, and he would have died right there on the spot.
Beside him, Gu Xia casually took the pill that Jiang Chaoxu handed over. One of her cheeks was pushed up slightly. Crossing the tribulation did not mean she was immune to all poisons, but ordinary poisons would not have much effect and would take much longer to take effect.
Therefore, her voice sounded somewhat muffled. With the antidote pill given to her by her senior brother in her mouth, she couldn't help but complain, "This is the first time I've ever seen such a strange place. Is this place planning to make us kill each other?"
Gu Xia followed the sword energy left behind by the sword spirit all the way here, but she never expected that she would find the person in such a hellish way.
She was so close to losing her fourth senior brother again.
Jiang Chaoxu couldn't help but sigh, "Now I finally understand why so few people can walk out of the secret realm alive."
That's so sneaky!
Despite their ill intentions, the two siblings managed to find each other.
Jiang Chaoxu put away his joking thoughts, looked around, and quickly discerned the mystery, thanks to the merfolk's royal bloodline and innate ability to see through illusions.
“This place looks…” he hesitated for a moment, “very much like a dream world.”
No, rather than an illusion, it is more like a perfect sacred space connected with the ancient tree grove.
They had seen many illusions before, but none were as troublesome as the one they were facing now. It could freely merge the separated spaces, causing those who strayed into it to lose their composure and even turn against their own companions.
From this perspective, it can be considered one of the top existences in the illusion.
Gu Xia patted the dust off her clothes, reached out and gently touched the drooping branches beside her, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Perhaps we were already in an illusion from the very beginning."
Whether it was the sudden disappearance of other close disciples or the near-accidental injury caused by mistaking the opponent, from beginning to end, despite their utmost vigilance, they still fell into the trap.
Even she didn't realize it at first.
The illusion, like the air, lurked silently around them all, until they were defeated one by one.
Looking back now, the two keenly noticed that the ancient trees surrounding them, which blocked out the sky, contained an extremely rich spiritual energy.
Nourished day after day, it is only natural that the plants and trees would develop a spirit. In order to obtain more spiritual energy as nutrients, the entire ancient tree group has given rise to this perfect illusion.
This is not a dense forest, but a cruel hunting ground.
Those who stumbled into this place were the prey about to be captured.
