C99 Divergent Fog

"What a pity, those Five Elements Sect guys actually didn't make a move. Originally, they wanted to vent out their anger!"

On the fourth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, Zhao Zilong had a look of pity on his face.

With the strength of his and Li Yi's soul, although the Five Elements Sect disciples deliberately hid their tracks, they were still discovered as soon as they revealed their heads. The reason why they stayed in the passage until the end was to lure the Five Elements Sect disciples to make a move so they could solve this problem as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the Five Elements Sect disciples were quite cautious and didn't make a move.

"Forget it, since they don't have the guts, there's no need for us to bother about them."

Li Yi looked at Zhao Zilong who was still muttering to himself in amusement.

"Enough, stop being so indignant. Our mission now is to get through the fourth layer as soon as possible!" "If you want to fight, I'll let you go first when you meet the demon beasts."

"Really?"

Zhao Zilong's eyes lit up. What he was most worried about was encountering a demon beast and having Li Yi take it first. Basically, as long as Li Yi made a move, he would be fine.

"Seriously! I'm afraid you can't handle it! "

Glancing at Zhao Zilong snappily, Li Yi tightened his grip on the spirit sword and walked forward.

The fourth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda also had a long path, but the difference from the third floor was, there was only one path.

After Li Yi and Zhao Zilong carefully walked for a while, nothing abnormal happened. Other than the sound of their footsteps, the surroundings were too quiet.

"Strange, why haven't we encountered a single demon beast?" Is this really the fourth level? "

Zhao Zilong stopped walking and tapped the wall with the spear in his hand. "It's very sturdy. There shouldn't be any secret passages. Could it be that the demon beasts guarding the passage are at the end of it?"

"Don't make wild guesses. You'll know whether it's true or not if you continue walking!"

It turned out that Zhao Zilong was like a crow's beak. When Li Yi and Li Jun reached the end of the tunnel, a huge white python was lying horizontally in front of the transmission array that led to the fifth floor. It completely blocked the transmission array.

"Frost Horn Python!"

Li Yi recognized it at a glance. It was a Frost Horn Python of the late Nascent Soul Stage. Moreover, from the four indistinct protrusions on its lower abdomen, it should be a Frost Horn Python that was about to turn into a dragon.

The Frost Horn Python is a middle tier Xuan class demonic beast, and one of the best." Other than having a strong physical body, the most proficient technique was Frost Breath. If a cultivator of the late Nascent Soul Stage could not even withstand a single blow, he would be frozen into an ice cube.

"Little Yi, we agreed that this demonic python will belong to me. You can't snatch it away from me!"

When Zhao Zilong saw the Frost Horn Python, he became excited. He shook the spirit spear in his hand and leaped up, thrusting towards the Frost Horn Python.

"To rule the world!"

Facing the Frost Horn Python, which was at the late Nascent Soul stage, Zhao Zilong did not let his guard down. The first thing he did was to use the ultimate move of the [Prairie Hundred Strikes] Spear Art.

The Frost Horned Python, which had been half-closed all this time, suddenly opened its eyes. Two cold purple lights shot out from its lantern-sized eyes. It swayed its body, dodging the attack that Zhao Zilong thought it would take.

"You're pretty fast. Interesting!" However, do you really think you can dodge my attack? "

Zhao Zilong's hand moved and the spirit spear in his hand suddenly changed direction, stabbing into the Frost Horn Python's body with a "pu" sound.

"Aooo!"

A dragon's roar that was mixed with anger sounded out from the pain. The Frost Horn Python bit towards Zhao Zilong.

The Frost Horned Python bit the air, and with Zhao Zilong's retreat, it pulled out the spear that had stabbed into the Frost Horn Python's body, bringing out a large amount of blood. However, a blue light quickly flashed across the wound, and the wound became frozen, no longer bleeding.

"Something's wrong. This Frost Horn Python does not seem to be formed from the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth!"

Li Yi looked at the Frost Horned Python's fresh blood and frowned. He had killed so many demon beasts in the first three layers, but none of them had lost even the slightest bit of blood. The fact that this Frost Horned Python could actually bleed made Li Yi feel slightly surprised.

Could it be that there were real monsters in the Exquisite Pagoda as well?

While Li Yi was guessing, the two sides in the battle had already decided on the winner. The Frost Horned Python heavily fell onto the ground, its entire body was covered with wounds of various sizes, and there was even a large hole at seven inches.

"This beast is quite impressive, but it's a pity that his breath is useless against me!"

Zhao Zilong proudly waved the spear in his hand towards Li Yi, only to see Li Yi frowning as he looked at the Frost Horn Python on the ground. He could not help but be slightly surprised: "Xiao Yi, what are you thinking about? What was so good about this beast's corpse? Wait, Demonic Beast … A corpse? "

Zhao Zilong suddenly reacted and stared at the Frost Horned Python's corpse with wide eyes.

"It seems that this is a genuine Frost Horn Python, not a demon beast formed from spirit energy!"

Li Yi's eyes flashed with a strange light: "A demon beast is no longer formed from spiritual energy, but becomes a real existence. If it is injured or even killed, would it really be injured or killed?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. No wonder there were only two people left on the fourth floor. Li Yi originally thought that the Linglong Immortal Pagoda's setup was a little strange, but now it seems like he was trying to prevent people from killing each other!

"Zi Long, we need to be careful!" Since the demon beast has become real, then injuries and even death should also become real. "

Nodding his head, Zhao Zilong also felt that Li Yi's guess was not without reason. He frowned and immediately revealed a smile: "We should be careful, but Xiao Yi, don't be too serious! "Look at this Frost Horn Python, a late Nascent Soul stage demon beast. Its entire body is filled with treasures. In the current cultivation world, where would one find such a rare demon beast?!"

What Zhao Zilong said was right. It didn't matter if it was a real demon beast or not, they had to be very careful. Right now, they could harvest valuable demon beast materials, which was a good thing for them.

"Fortunately, I have the Five Elements Immortal Palace; otherwise, it would be really difficult to store such a huge Frost Horn Python in a storage ring!"

Putting the Frost Horn Python's corpse into the Five Elements Immortal Mansion, Li Yi patted Zhao Zilong's shoulder, "Let's go to the fifth floor!"

"..."

"Hu hu!" Finally dead! "Brother Feng is right, the beasts on the fourth floor are indeed real!"

At the same time the two of them entered the fifth floor, in another space on the fourth floor, Liu Jingtang's group of four looked at a Heavenly Scarlet Python lying on the ground as they panted miserably.

Of the four people, other than Liu Jingtang, the other three were either lightly injured or heavily injured. Since the demonic beast had yet to transform into the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to replenish its consumed energy or to recover from its injuries, the three weren't in a very good condition.

"Let's rest for a while and recover before proceeding to the next level." If I'm not wrong, the rest of the demon beasts should be real and they will be even more difficult to deal with! "

"..."

"There doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the fifth and fourth floor!"

Standing in the passage to the fifth floor, Li Yi and the other two looked around. Just like on the fourth floor, there was still a long passage. They couldn't see any demon beasts.

"Master said that only two people have managed to reach the sixth level in the last 10,000 years. This proves that the difficulty of the fifth level cannot be underestimated!"

Li Yi looked at Zhao Zilong in displeasure. This guy, when will he get rid of his bad habit of being careless? It really makes me worry!

"That's what I meant when I said it. It's to keep the atmosphere lively, so that it won't be too depressing and suffocating!"

Zhao Zilong scratched his head, "Of course I know the difficulty of the fifth floor. Ignoring the fifth floor, I don't think there are many people who can withstand the breath of the Frost Horned Python that we met on the fourth floor. But don't you think that we didn't encounter any obstacles along the way? "It's not that I'm arrogant. With our strengths, I feel that entering the sixth level shouldn't be difficult. We need to have confidence in ourselves!"

Speechlessly rolling his eyes, Li Yi walked away in large strides, too lazy to bother with this guy who was bursting with self-confidence. When had he ever said he didn't have confidence? He really couldn't communicate.

"Little Yi, didn't you say to be careful? How did you move so fast?"

Zhao Zilong took a few steps forward and chased, his mouth was still chattering, "Did he get enlightened by my words? "Haha, didn't I say that …"

"Shut up!"

"..."

"Strange, why is there a fog? Does the Exquisite Pagoda have fog as well?"

After walking for about half the distance, the tunnel was filled with a thin layer of fog. Li Yi slowed down his steps and tried to sense his surroundings, but he didn't find anything special about the fog.

"Zi Long, do you feel any bad feeling after inhaling this mist?"

As a Wanxiang Body, Li Yi's resistance was very high. Even the natural baleful aura underground was useless against him, so Li Yi was worried and asked Zhao Zilong this question.

"It doesn't feel good. No, it doesn't feel special at all!"

Zhao Zilong stared blankly for a moment, and after sensing carefully for a while, he scratched his head and replied.

"Oh, that's probably because I was overthinking it! It's almost at the end of the passage. "

What Li Yi and Zhao Zilong didn't know was that the fog that had no effect on them was not as harmless as they had imagined. This was called the Scattered Yuan Mist, an extremely rare type of gas in the cultivation world.

This type of Essence Dispersing Mist could slowly dissipate the True Essence Dharmic powers within the bodies of cultivators. However, it had one characteristic; it only worked on injured cultivators, which was why Li Yi and Zhao Zilong didn't react at all. This was because they basically didn't put in much effort during their journey, let alone getting injured.

Just like the four disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect and the five disciples of the Five Elements Sect who made it to the fifth floor, other than Liu Jin Tang and the middle-aged man known as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Five Elements Sect, almost all of them were injured. After walking for a short distance, all of the Fa Li in their bodies had been completely dissipated, so they had no choice but to give up and be transported to the first floor of the tunnel.
