C97 Metaphagous Wasp

A small flag also appeared in Zhang Ying's hand. He waved it in the wind, and it turned into a purple-green flag. As it fluttered in the wind, the wind and thunder surged.

"Seems like those who can be chosen to represent their sects and participate in the Rushing Tower have some skills. They can't be underestimated!"

Li Yi secretly observed and could not help but nod in his heart.

Although there were a lot of Demonic Soul Snakes, they were still relatively smaller compared to the Celestial Demon Mice on the first level. Adding to the fact that his soul attacks were ineffective against Li Yi and the others, his speed of advancement became much faster.

Just as they were about to reach the other side of the passageway, the sound of footsteps came from behind them.

"You came pretty quickly!"

Li Yi did not turn around to look and had already sensed it. There were two groups of people approaching: one group was the ten disciples led by Liu Jingtang of the Immortal Sword Sect, and the other group was the five disciples led by Sun Tianzi from the Floating Mist Pavilion.

"Seems like this Sun Tianqi does have some ability. No wonder he's so arrogant!" But you had best not provoke me, otherwise, if not, I will not be lenient towards fellow sect disciples! "

Li Yi was secretly vigilant in his heart, because he could clearly feel the unconcealable killing intent when Sun Tianqi looked at him.

While Li Yi was observing Sun Tianqi's group, Sun Tianqi was also staring at him with a dark expression.

"Those trash from the Five Elements Sect still hasn't come up. Do you really want me to do it myself?"

Since Li Yi could feel the enmity of the Five Elements Sect, Sun Tiqi could also feel it. The grudge between the Misty Pavilion, especially the Li Sect and the Five Elements Sect, was no secret.

He had originally planned to wait until the Five Elements Sect and Li Yi's group were both seriously injured before making his move. Who would have thought that the Five Elements Sect wouldn't dare to make a move, and Li Yi's group's speed at rushing to the tower had greatly exceeded his expectations, causing him to have no choice but to consider whether to make his move first. After entering the fourth floor, everyone would be separated, and when that time came, there would be no chance to make a move!

"Forget it, I'll just follow closely. If no one makes a move before entering the fourth level, then I might have to take a risk!"

Without much pause, the ten disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect and the five people of Sun Tian Qi's group also rushed into the group of Devil Soul Snakes. Furthermore, it seemed that everyone was prepared, the soul attacks of the Devil Soul Snakes did not have much of an effect.

"Come on, let's hurry to the next floor. The people behind us are starting to catch up. We don't have much time to waste!"

When Li Yi's group of five rushed to the other side of the tunnel, Liu Jingtang, Sun Tianqi, and the others had already passed through half of the hall. The disciples of the other sects had already appeared in the hall.

Li Yi frowned, and with a movement of his body, he rushed into the passage. Zhao Zilong and the others also quickly followed.

The third floor was different from the first two floors. It was no longer a large hall, but instead, it was divided into three tunnels that ten people could pass through side by side.

"Senior brother Fan, which way should we go?"

Zhao Zilong looked at the three tunnels, unsure of what to do.

"I'm not too sure about this either. Last time, we chose the middle path, but it ended up in complete destruction!"

"Oh, what's so dangerous in there?"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows. Not to mention a rare genius, every disciple sent by the Misty Pavilion would definitely be an elite amongst the Nascent Soul stage disciples. They would actually be completely annihilated. There must be some existence that they could not contend against.

"I don't know!" We didn't even clearly see what attacked us. We only felt a sharp pain from our bodies and then, somehow, the Quintessential Essence in our bodies disappeared without a trace. Then, it was sent out. "

Fan Zhentian bitterly smiled.

"What?" He was knocked out without even seeing clearly? Senior Martial Brother Fan, you didn't see the joke right? "

Zhao Zilong's eyes widened, Li Yi and Chen Fangfang also looked at Fan Zhentian in disbelief.

"It's indeed true. Even the most powerful senior brother Xiang was only faintly able to see a sliver of silver light."

Zhang Ying's complexion also did not look good, after all, this was not a glorious matter, even if one did not know who the enemy was, he would still mysteriously be defeated, it was truly shameful!

"Interesting, truly interesting! I want to see who exactly is in the middle of this passage! "

Li Yi's eyes flashed, "There's no need to choose, we will go through this passage in the middle! Zi Long, Senior Brother Chen, what do you think? "

"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking! This journey was too easy, and there was no challenge at all. I was just looking for some excitement! "

Zhao Zilong licked his lips, looking eager to give it a try.

"I also have no objections. I also want to see an existence that could cause Senior Martial Brother Fan and the others to be tricked without any reaction!"

Chen Zhen tightened his grip on the spirit sword as his eyes surged with fighting spirit.

"Alright, since the three of you aren't afraid, then the two of us shouldn't be too afraid. We'll take the middle path." Get up from where you fell, I want to see what exactly made us fail and return! "

Fan and Zhang also had their fighting spirit aroused. They laughed out boldly and walked forward, but were stopped by Li Yi. "Two Senior Brothers, you can stay in the center and support me. Leave this task to me. Regarding the perception ability of my spiritual sense, I am quite confident!"

Amongst the five, Li Yi was indeed the most powerful, and he was the most suitable to explore the way. Perhaps, the enemy they didn't discover last time might actually be found by Li Yi!

"..."

"Senior Martial Brother Sun, which of the three paths are we going to take?"

Not long after Li Yi and the others entered the middle passageway, Sun Tianqi's group of five arrived at the second floor.

Xiao Changfeng was stunned as he looked at the tunnel in front of him. Just like Li Yi and the other two, this was also his first time participating in a competition. The last person who came was the senior brother Xiang Fei that Fan Zhentian had spoken of, but Xiang Fei had already reached the great circle of the late Nascent Soul stage and was in closed-door training to break through to the Spirit Severing stage, so he couldn't come.

"Last time we took the middle road, this time …" "To the left!"

Sun Tianqi's eyes flashed with a trace of fear, as if he had remembered something bad. His expression changed as he quickly shifted his gaze from the middle passage to the left passage.

"Senior Martial Brother Sun, since we walked in the middle and are familiar with the road, why did we take the left path this time?"

"Shut up! "I said the left side is the left side. If you're not satisfied, you can go to the center by yourself!"

Sun Tianqi snapped impatiently and led the way towards the left passageway.

"Humph!" What the hell! If I didn't want to use you to deal with that brat Li Yi, I wouldn't be so polite with you.

He secretly spat and suppressed the discontent in his heart as he followed. The other three disciples looked at each other and followed as well. However, their eyes were flickering unstably. It was unknown what they were thinking about.

Just as Sun Tianqi and the others entered the passage on the left, the figure of Liu Jingtang's group appeared.

"Take the right passageway!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Jingtang brought the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect to the passage on the right.

The demon beast in the right passage was a late Nascent Soul stage Five Elements White Alligator, and it was innately resistant to the Five Elements magic. The Five Elements techniques of cultivators of the same level or higher were completely useless against it, and its defense was rather strong, but its attack and speed were relatively weak.

The Immortal Sword Sect was a sword cultivating sect. Although they would inject elemental spiritual energy into their flying swords, they would only do so to make their flying swords more powerful. Physical attacks were their main means of attack. It was most suitable to deal with such demon beasts.

Previously, Senior Feng had also chosen the right passageway and was able to counter the Five Elements White Alligators. Thus, he was able to pass through the third layer and enter the fourth layer.

The demonic beasts in the Exquisite Pagoda were formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so they weren't fixed and unchanging. They would change once every hundred years, and this was the last year.

"..."

In the passage in the middle of the third floor, Li Yi and the other three carefully walked forward.

"We've already been walking for a long time, why hasn't anything happened? Senior-apprentice Brother Fan, Senior-apprentice Brother Zhang, is there really such a terrifying demon beast as you speak of here? Is it invisible? "

After walking for a long time and not encountering any danger, Zhao Zilong couldn't help but complain.

As soon as he said that, a silver light appeared around his neck without any warning and pierced towards his neck.

"Be careful!"

The spirit sword in Li Yi's hand stabbed back, and with a "pu" sound, it pierced the silver light. Zhao Zilong did not have the time to be happy, the spirit spear in his hand swung upwards and sent out another silver light.

"What is it?"

Zhao Zilong broke out in a cold sweat. The silver light was too fast. If it wasn't for his spiritual sense's reaction which was out of the ordinary and Li Yi's help, he might have been tricked!

"This is …" "Devouring Yuan Bee!"

Fan Zhentian looked at the tip of Li Yi's sword and cried out in alarm, "These demonic bees were extinct in the ancient times, why are they here?!"

"Devouring Yuan Bee, what demon beast? I've never heard of it before!"

Li Yi recalled that there were no records of this demonic beast in the Five Elements Immortal Manor, nor was there any mention of this demonic beast in the [Eastern Prefecture Encyclopedia].

"I happened to see this from an ancient jade slip. This was the Devouring Yuan Bee, a terrifying social demonic beast from the ancient era. Its beehive needle is extremely sharp and can even pierce through high-grade earth-step spirit armor! "

Fan Zhentian composed himself, "The scariest thing is that this Demonic Bee's body has both the Wind and Spatial Attributes. Its speed is extremely fast, and it can even teleport and attack in a small area. It's really hard to defend against!" Once one is hit, the true essence within the body will be completely swallowed up within a short period of time. "

This kind of wasp does not pose much of a threat to those demon clan cultivators with powerful fleshly bodies, nor do they pose much of a threat to martial cultivators. However, it is definitely an invincible existence to ordinary cultivators.

"Senior Brother Fan, this is the Linglong Immortal Pagoda's interior. All of the demonic beasts here are formed from the spiritual energy of the world. Have you forgotten?"
