The moment she saw Empuda, his figure instantly faded. Tang Wan'er's hair stood on end, and her sword in her hand conjured up thousands of sword shadows, slashing toward her back.
"Clang, dang, dang... The
clash of metal rang out hundreds of times in the blink of an eye. In other words, in that instant, Tang Wan'er's sword and Empuda's dagger clashed over a hundred times.
"Boom!"
Tang Wan'er's defenses were impenetrable, and Empuda's attacks were completely blocked by Tang Wan'er.
"Extreme Wind..."
Tang Wan'er shouted, ready to slay Enpuda with all her might. Suddenly, the void trembled, and a giant hand that covered the sky reached out from the dark sky, reaching out to grab Tang Wan'er.
Tang Wan'er was shocked. That hand appeared, and her wind power was instantly suppressed. In that instant, it was as if her cultivation had been crippled.
With a loud explosion, Tang Wan'er saw herself crushed by that giant hand.
Whoosh!
The scene before her vanished. Tang Wan'er opened her eyes. She was still in the square, along with the other female disciples. Each of them looked pale, their eyes filled with fear.
Just now, their entire team was wiped out. They even saw others die tragically—everything happened so really.
Especially the pain of being torn apart still spread through them. Everyone's bodies trembled uncontrollably, and the feeling of death was unbearably painful.
Some people were even killed by terrifying powerhouses before they understood what was happening. Before Xiaoyue "died," she heard Tang Wan'er's startled cry, but only felt a sharp pain in her neck. She saw her own head detach from her body, and then everything fell into darkness.
"What is this?" Xiaoyue said in terror.
She looked at Tang Wan'er in disbelief. Even someone as powerful as Tang Wan'er had withdrawn so quickly—could it be that she was 'dead' too?
Tang Wan'er also looked at Long Chen in shock, not knowing what was going on either.
Long Chen looked at everyone and said, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree has brought you into my inner world. There, whether you see people or monsters, they all died at my hands."
They carry powerful resentment and are entangled in immense karma, and the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tree is a rare treasure that has always helped me comprehend the Dao and resist these karmic effects.
One day, I suddenly wondered if I could combine these karmic effects to form cultivation grounds, and then, with the help of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree, I built this world.
In this world, you will encounter all the enemies I have killed. Some are flesh and blood, while others are the karmic consequences entangled in the heavenly tribulation.
Wan'er, the strike that killed you was called the Hand of Heaven, but with your strength, you actually had a chance to fight it head-on.
But when the hand of heaven imprisons the laws and weakens your strongest wind power, you become terrified, your mind reveals flaws, your will is weak, and you are crushed by it. "
Long Chen's explanation made everyone even more shocked. All those endless monsters and powerful figures had actually died at Long Chen's hands.
Tang Wan'er suddenly understood; no wonder she saw Gui Yan and Empuda.
"Again,"
Tang Wan'er took a deep breath, and the female disciples present also prepared themselves.
It must be said, these female disciples were truly brave; facing death, they did not back down.
"Buzz!"
The Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Tree trembled again, and everyone was summoned once more into a world like a purgatory. In just one breath, everyone except Tang Wan'er came out.
Facing endless monsters and terrifying powerhouses, they had no resistance at all, were wiped out in an instant, and had no chance to struggle.
This was a huge blow to them. Those monsters were too powerful. In fact, anyone who could be entangled with Long Chen was the strongest of the strongest. When they died, their resentment was so deep that the Heavenly Dao would capture this karma.
Those weaklings didn't even qualify to appear, and the ones Long Chen killed were all ruthless and vicious. These girls who had never been tempered by the battlefield were naturally no match.
"Phew."
After half an incense stick's time, Tang Wan'er opened her eyes. Sweat had already appeared on her forehead, and a trace of unwillingness appeared on her face.
"That person is Qin Keqing, the prodigy of the Qin Sect, sinister and ruthless. He uses the sound of the zither to disturb your mind and strike when the opportunity arises.
If you face her alone, you don't need to be afraid, but you're not good at group battles and can't balance the enemy's attack rhythm well, which will be a big loss. Long Chen said.
"Again!"
Tang Wan'er was clearly unconvinced, shouting. Long Chen looked at the other female disciples, whose faces were pale and mentally drained, yet they were still ready for battle.
Long Chen nodded, activated the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree again, and everyone entered the illusion once more.
However, just like the previous two times, except for Tang Wan'er, everyone else was sent out immediately.
This time, anxiety and unease appeared on everyone's faces; they felt too weak, so weak that there was almost no hope at all.
"Don't rush. In the Seven Treasures Illusion, what you need to do now is face death.
Only when you can face death fearlessly can you make the right choice at the moment death arrives.
This choice may not change the outcome of your death, but this attitude is very important.
To be honest, at first I wasn't optimistic about you pampered and expensive young ladies. I thought you wouldn't have the courage to enter the Seven Treasures Illusion Realm a second time.
Because with the blessing of the Seven Treasures Glass Tree, your senses become exceptionally sharp, and everything will feel so real. When death comes, you won't be able to tell whether it's an illusion or reality.
And for you to challenge the Seven Treasures Illusion three times in a row is already quite impressive. Long Chen smiled and comforted everyone.
Hearing Long Chen's comfort, the female disciples felt somewhat relieved, but they still felt unwilling and wanted to keep challenging themselves.
"Your minds have been severely stimulated, so it's no longer suitable to continue the challenge. Each of you should take a calming pill, rest a bit, and then continue." After Long Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand, and in front of each person floated a golden pill.
"This is ... Top-grade Golden Core? Someone
exclaimed, recognizing the origin of this pill. After all, in the entire Wind God Sea Pavilion, only the Goddess could receive one top-grade Golden Pill per month, yet Long Chen had taken over three thousand pills at once. This frightened them all. Looking at the Golden Core before them, none of the female disciples dared to reach out to take it.
"Whew."
At this moment, Tang Wan'er retreated from the Seven Treasures Space. She looked exhausted, and seeing these golden pills, she smiled slightly and said:
"Don't be so polite with him. From now on, if we stick with him, we won't have to worry about our pills. Hurry up and thank your brother Long Chen!"
"Thank you, Brother Long Chen,"
Tang Wan'er said. Only then did all the disciples pick up the pills and thank Long Chen at the same time. The calls made Long Chen's scalp tingle, and he hurriedly told everyone to take them quickly.
When everyone took the pills and began to cultivate, Long Chen saw endless wind energy swirling around them, endlessly and vastly. He couldn't help but feel a jolt:
"Looks like I underestimated them. They reacted so quickly—their potential is astonishing. The Hidden Dragon Legion might really become an extraordinary legion."
Half an hour later, everyone's fatigue vanished. When they opened their eyes again, there was a clear trace of confidence and a hint of sharpness in them.
"Continue."
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree trembled again, and everyone entered the Seven Treasures Space once more.
