Chapter 1019 Trials (Part 2)(1/2)
"Use weapons to kill the red-butt monkey, and evaluate: pass!" Just as Fang Yi felt the increase in his body's mental power, the sound suddenly came from his mind.
"Hey, can't we use weapons in the trial?"
Fang Yi couldn't help but yell. The red-butt horse monkey was as fast as the wind, and her body was as hard as iron. If it weren't for the broken blade that was passed down from ancient times, Fang Yi would not have been able to solve it at all.
"We can use weapons, but the usage method is wrong and it is rated as passing." The voice sounded.
"What is the role of comprehensive assessment?" Fang Yi asked.
"The evaluation is divided into five levels, which are failing, passing, good, excellent, and perfect!" The voice explained: "If you fail more than three times, you will fail the trial and fail, and there will be no additional rewards for passing the exam. The remaining three items will receive the trial prize!"
"Can you fail more than three times?"
Fang Yi curled his lips when he heard this. If he had followed the standard of voice, he might have been killed by the red-butt monkey if his performance just now had failed. How could he have a chance or heard these words?
"Usually, failing to pass means death!" The voice was honest, the same as what Fang Yi thought.
"What do you mean is that the trial must continue?" Fang Yi released his spiritual consciousness, observed the surroundings vigilantly, and said, "Why does the ancient red-butt horse monkey appear here? How could it survive until now?"
"The trial has not ended, and the comprehensive assessment must be passed or above before the trial will end."
The voice replied: "The red-butt monkey that appeared in the trial was just the remaining essence. Her body had long died, and her strength was less than one thousandth of that of the ancient times."
"The strength is only one thousandth of that when you are alive?"
When Fang Yi heard the words coming from his mind, he was shocked. The spirit alone almost killed himself. If it were a living red-butt monkey, he would not have the slightest power to fight back in front of it.
"The trial continues!" The voice rang in Fang Yi's mind.
"Hey, what monster is there below?"
Fang Yi quickly asked, as the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win a hundred battles. Even the red-butt monkey in ancient times, the Monkey King in Journey to the West, appeared. Fang Yi didn't know what kind of tests there would be waiting for him later.
"Grandma, I'll die if I say something more?"
Fang Yi didn't wait for the answer from that voice and couldn't help but mutter, but Fang Yi's spiritual sense was always released from his body. At the same time, he was still holding the broken blade in his right hand. Although he could only barely get a passing assessment when using the weapon, it was better than losing his life.
But the next moment, Fang Yi knew that there was no need to ask about the voice anymore, because Fang Yi, who was talking, felt a trembling on the ground, and a giant rushed towards him dozens of meters away from him.
This is a monster with a body of more than two meters high and three meters long. Its body is a bit like a cow's body, but it only has one foot, its toes are huge like a millstone. The monster has a face that looks a bit like a dragon, with a single horn on its head, and a pair of eyes staring at Fang Yi like a copper bell, standing on the ground with one foot. Fang Yi could clearly feel the vibration of the earth.
"Wuliang Tianzun, is this the damn Kui Niu?" Fang Yi is not unfamiliar with the appearance of this monster, because he has seen many bronze ware from the Spring and Autumn Period that he has seen, and that is the legendary Kui Niu.
According to legend, Kui Niu has a face that looks like a dragon, a voice that sounds like thunder, and only one foot. It is said that after Huangdi killed Kui according to the instructions of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, he made a war drum with his skin. Kuilong is also known as the keratoon.
Most of the images of Kui Niu that Fang Yi saw were Kui Niu patterns seen on bronze ware.
In the decoration of bronze ware in the late Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Kuilong pattern is one of the main patterns, with mostly long strips with open mouths and curly tails. The appearance is suitable for the structural lines of the bronze ware decorative surface, with straight lines as the main and arc lines as the auxiliary, with an ancient and clumsy beauty.
However, unlike the beautiful Kui Niu pattern on the bronze ware, the Kui Niu that appeared in front of Fang Yi at this time was filled with a strong murderous intent. When he was more than twenty meters away from Fang Yi, a roar suddenly came from the dragon's head, which shocked the surrounding air to ripples.
Just as Kuiniu let out a roar, Fang Yi felt that his face was hit by a train. The huge impact force hit his body backwards and fell heavily on the ground more than ten meters away.
After realizing that the monster opposite was Kuiniu, Fang Yi was attacked by this sound wave even though he was ready. However, Fang Yi remained awake in the air, and as soon as his body landed, he rolled and moved four or five meters away to his side.
Fortunately, Fang Yi reacted. As soon as his body was removed, Kui Niu's huge body fell from the sky and hit hard on the place where Fang Yi had just landed. The hard ground even had several patterns cracked. Fang Yi, who had not yet stood firm, was shaken.
"Wuliang Tianzun, why did you fight him?"
A trace of blood appeared on Fang Yi's mouth. This Kui Niu monster was too powerful. Just by opening his mouth and roaring, Fang Yi suffered a lot of injuries. Its body was much larger than the red-butt horse monkey. Fang Yi didn't know if the broken blade attack in his hand could still work?
"Weakness, where is the weakness of Kuiniu?"
Fang Yi threw a Qingxin pill into his mouth, which restored his brain to clear. The Kui Niu's sound wave attack just now not only injured Fang Yi's body, but also suffered a little damage to his spiritual sense. Compared with the previous red-butt monkey, Kui Niu is undoubtedly much more powerful.
"The Kui Niu's movements are much slower than those of the red-butt horse monkey."
Looking at the Kui Niu standing not far away, Fang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. As expected, when the Kui Niu was moving alone, his movements were very slow. When the distance was far, the Kui Niu could jump, but now it was only four or five meters away from Fang Yi, so the Kui Niu was not that convenient to move.
"roar!"
Looking at Fang Yi in front of him, Kuiniu roared again, but this time Fang Yi was prepared. His figure flashed quickly, and he moved away from the sound wave that made the air shaking. He came to the side of Kuiniu. A knife light flashed in his hand, slashing towards Kuiniu's neck.
At this time, Fang Yi didn't care about any rating. At this moment, as long as he could kill Kui Niu, Fang Yi would be willing to use any means. Otherwise, the one who lay on the ground would be his body. Before life and death, Fang Yi only thought about how to kill the monster in front of him.
Although Kuiniu's body was clumsy, his reaction was very fast. When the sword energy was about to reach its head, Kuiniu suddenly lowered his head and faced the sword light. Fang Yi only felt a shock in his hand, and a powerful force came. With this force, Fang Yi's body quickly retreated.
"Grandma, is this a spirit or a real Kui Niu?"
Fang Yi looked at Kui Niu's head, but found that the horn was not damaged at all after being slashed by the sword. This was the first time Fang Yi discovered that there was something it could not cut.
"Aren't the essence and soul all empty bodies? Why can it withstand the light of the sword?"
Although Fang Yi was full of doubts, he did not dare to slack off at all. When he saw the Kui Niu roaring again, Fang Yi quickly moved away from the front of the Kui Niu, walked around behind it, and slashed it with another knife.
This time Fang Yi cut the Kui Niu's unique foot. Fang Yi thought that as long as he broke his foot, the Kui Niu would not be able to do anything to him. However, what Fang Yi did not expect was that when the sword light touched the Kui Niu's unique foot, his hand felt like he was chopping on the leather. No matter how he activated his true energy, he could not cut into it.
"not good!"
While Fang Yi was exerting his force, a warning suddenly came from his heart. He quickly put away his knife and retreated. Just as Fang Yi retreated, the Kui Niu's horn rubbed against Fang Yi's chest and slashed. The horn was like a sharp blade, cutting the clothes on Fang Yi's chest together, and a long blood mark appeared on his chest.
"Respond so quickly, is this still a dead thing?"
After exploding more than ten meters, Fang Yi lowered his head to his chest with a wry smile. Since he went down the mountain, he had encountered several dangers, and had been caught in the dark river by giant anacondas, but he had never had close-up fights as dangerous as this time. Fang Yi felt that as long as he took a step forward, he would probably end up being disheartened.
Looking at the Kui Niu with fierce light in his eyes, Fang Yi really didn't know if it was the spirit mentioned by this secret realm weapon spirit. Even the red-butt horse monkey just now was not as fast as it did. What made Fang Yi the most headache was that the skin on this big guy was extremely thick, and even the sword light could not break it.
The biggest trump card in Fang Yi's hand is undoubtedly this broken blade. Even the broken blade cannot break the body of Kui Niu. Fang Yi has no need to think about it without his bare hands. It's better to wash it clean and let the Kui Niu eat it.
"No, the head should be its weakness."
Although he was thinking, Fang Yi's body did not dare to stay where he was. He kept a distance of seven or eight meters from Kui Niu and was circled around. When Fang Yi saw Kui Niu's constantly twisting head, a light suddenly flashed in his heart.
Fang Yi had attacked Kui Niu's head before, but was blocked by the unicorn. When Fang Yi attacked Kui Niu's solemn, it did not even dodge and directly resisted the sword light, which shows that Kui Niu was afraid of damage to his head, or that its head could not resist the attack of the sword light.
"Just have weaknesses, I'm afraid you don't have weaknesses."
Thinking of this, Fang Yi's figure suddenly accelerated a little, and he kept circled around Kui Niu. At first, he could still see Fang Yi's figure clearly, but when he used the technique of shrinking the ground into an inch, he could only see a rotating phantom around Kui Niu.
Kuiniu has very few attack methods. He has to stand alone to maintain his balance in his body, and then he can only use sound wave roars and horns to attack Fang Yi. However, Fang Yi's speed is too fast, and Kuiniu cannot face Fang Yi head-on, and he returns in vain after several roars.
During the rotation process, Fang Yi tried to attack Kuiu Niu's head several times, but Kuiu Niu was very sensitive to the sword-blade qi. He blocked several attacks with his unicorns. Once, he almost caught Fang Yi with his unicorns, which scared Fang Yi in a cold sweat.
"You can't be close to it!"
Fang Yi found that he could never get close to Kui Niu, because except for his weakness in his head, the Kui Niu was like a wall of iron. As long as he was hit by it, even if he was already a congenital cultivator, he would probably end up with a broken muscles and bones.
Unable to get close to him, and the sword light could not touch the vital parts of Kui Niu, Fang Yi was helpless for a moment. Looking at Kui Niu's neck, which was a bit like a snake's neck, Fang Yi wished he could break it with one knife and cut off its head, which was like a dragon's head.
"It would be great if this broken blade could attack from the body." Fang Yi's mind suddenly flashed, but it was rejected by him immediately, because the broken blade would only show an invincible sword light when it instilled true energy.
If there is no blessing of true qi, the broken blade can only be considered sharp at best. If it is used to cut some ordinary objects, there should be no problem, but if you want to cut off the neck of Kui Niu, you are afraid that it will be ineffective.
"What if you use spiritual consciousness?"
Like his body, Fang Yi's thinking was also spinning rapidly. He suddenly realized that the strength of his spiritual consciousness could barely urge the animal body. The broken blade was as thin as a cicada's wing as light as nothing, and he should be able to use his spiritual consciousness to simply manipulate it.
"What the ancient sword immortal said about taking the head of a person thousands of miles away is probably to instill spiritual consciousness on the sword?" Fang Yi's thinking spread, and he thought of Long Wanda's natal Gu again, allowing the spiritual consciousness to enter the natal Gu to control it, which actually has the same effect as controlling the flying sword.
"Grandma, Master Dao, I'll fight with you!" Fang Yi shouted out the title he had never used before, and suddenly stopped and threw the broken sword in his hand high.
The Kui Niu in front of Fang Yi actually had only the fighting instinct, and this instinct told it that the most dangerous thing on Fang Yi was the broken sword that could emit sword light. So when he saw the broken sword flying into the air, the Kui Niu actually raised his head and looked at the broken sword in the air.
"Chop me!"
Fang Yi let out a low roar in his throat, instilling all his spiritual sense onto the broken sword, and at the same time urged the broken sword to fly downward. At this time, Fang Yi had already lost control of his body. The Kuiniu could press Fang Yi into a meat pie with just one jump.
However, Kuiniu, who was attracted by the broken sword, did not realize Fang Yi's weakness at this moment. It just twisted its head and aimed its horn at the broken sword to meet it. But what Kuiniu didn't expect was that the broken sword, which had always been straight, turned around in the air and surrounded its neck.
For Fang Yi at this time, he used his spiritual sense to urge the animal body, which was beyond his ability. After barely urging the broken sword to carry out this attack, Fang Yi's spiritual sense was also exhausted and his whole body became extremely weak.
"It's done?"
Fang Yi, who was standing there in a daze, found that Kui Niu's body seemed to be fixed. A few seconds later, Kui Niu's head, which was slightly smaller than a millstone, fell off his neck. Just like killing the red-butt monkey, there was no trace of blood at the wound.
"The broken sword activated by the spiritual sense is actually sharper than the infusion of true qi in it?"
Looking at the Kui Niu's head and the broken sword that fell to the ground, Fang Yi's brain regained his mind after a brief blank. He quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured all three Qingxin pills into his mouth.
However, the Qingxin Pills that Fang Yi took were completely inferior to the phantom that penetrated into Fang Yi's body that had penetrated from the body of the emptiness of Kui Niu. When the phantom touched Fang Yi's body, Fang Yi, who was originally extremely weak in his mind, suddenly felt extremely full.
The mental phantom transformed by the death of Kui Niu was far stronger than the previous red-butt monkey. In almost a moment, Fang Yi felt that the mental power he had lost had been completely replenished.
Moreover, after replenishing the loss, Fang Yi's mental power continued to grow. At the same time, Fang Yi found that in his sea of consciousness, there seemed to be a shackle that had become loosened, and the mental power fused into the shackle was constantly impacting the shackle.
"Are you going to break through?"
Fang Yi did not expect that the spiritual power transformed by this phantom would be so powerful that he would forcefully attack the shackles of advancing to the Qi Refining Period. Without thinking about it carefully, Fang Yi also mobilized all his mental power and started to attack the place in the sea of consciousness.
With the experience of killing the red-butt monkey last time, Fang Yi knew that the spirits in this secret realm should come out, rather than proceeding to the next trial immediately. Without danger, Fang Yi also felt at ease to break through with all his strength.
"It's still a little bit worse."
A few minutes later, Fang Yi opened his eyes with some disappointment, because at this moment, the surging mental power that had gradually begun to fade away after absorbing the phantom in his mind. Some of them merged with his spiritual consciousness, while the other part overflowed into the sea of consciousness.
Fang Yi knew that his breakthrough had failed, but the shackles had been loosened a lot. Fang Yi believed that if he could merge the spiritual power transformed by the phantom again, he would at least 80% be sure to break through the existing shackles in one fell swoop and advance to the next level.
Thinking of this, Fang Yi's eyes became hot. The old saying goes, "The pursuit of wealth and honor is in danger". Although it is almost dead and still alive, the benefits Fang Yi gets are also huge. If you practice step by step, Fang Yi doesn't know when he will truly become a Qi Refiner.
"Are you still here? Come out!" Fang Yi looked up and shouted into the air. He knew that the guy who was suspected of a weapon spirit must be paying attention to him, otherwise when he made a breakthrough just now, other trial monsters would appear.
"Congratulations, the results of this trial are good!" Sure enough, just as Fang Yi shouted, the voice appeared again.
"I also used a weapon this time, why is it good rather than passing?" Fang Yi had some guess in his mind, but he still needed that voice to confirm it.
To be continued...
