Avenue Stowaway

Kong Fang's strong advance made Zhong Luo feel a little hopeful. Maybe Kong Fang could really break out of this dark passage and do something that no one had ever done before. As far as Zhong Luo knew, no one had ever been able to break out of this dark passage alone. Although he followed Kong Fang, he did not play any role at all. He was just a spectator. Kong Fang was fighting alone along the way.

Thinking that Kong Fang might be able to break out of the dark passage, Zhong Luo felt a little conflicted. He didn't know whether he should continue to follow Kong Fang or return to the hall at the entrance of the dark passage.

Zhong Luo's two junior brothers were still in the hall. If Zhong Luo followed Kong Fang and left, his two junior brothers would be in danger. After all, they were only at the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If there was any danger in the Three Tombs Underground Palace, it would be difficult for them to deal with it.

But Zhong Luo was unwilling to turn back now. He had finally met a powerful monk and had a chance to get out of this dark passage. If he left now, it was unlikely that he would encounter such a thing again next time.

Zhong Luo was also very curious about the tests behind the dark passage.

"I will follow Fellow Daoist Kong Fang to the front to take a look. If he really has a chance to get out of this dark passage, I will return early." Zhong Luo made up his mind. This way he would not be considered to have given up on his two junior brothers, and he would also be able to see what kind of tests there are in this dark passage.

Of course, Zhong Luo also knew that the tests in this dark passage were not static. Apart from other things, the first two tests he encountered were not weaker than the one he encountered today, and the opponents who appeared were also different.

Zhong Luo had high expectations for Kong Fang, but Kong Fang, who had killed the six-clawed wolf-like creature, was not so optimistic. This was only the fourth test, and it was already so difficult. And there were three more tests to come, so who knew what kind of opponent would come.

But one thing is certain. That is, the opponents in the next three tests will definitely be stronger and more difficult to deal with than this six-clawed wolf-shaped creature.

"Let's go!" Kong Fang said. He hadn't encountered an opponent that he was really helpless against yet. Kong Fang naturally had to keep moving forward.

After walking a distance, the two encountered the opponent of the fifth test. This time, the opponent was not in human form. Instead, it was a creature with a hard shell on its back. It looked like a turtle, but it was definitely not a turtle. Its four sturdy legs supporting the ground, its long neck and tail sticking out of the turtle shell, and its head that looked like a snake were all covered with a thick layer of hard shell.

The thickness of the shell was frightening. But the most shocking thing was not this, but the sharp spikes like swords sticking out of the shell. Whether it was the long neck, tail, head, or even the four legs, they all had these sharp spikes like swords.

The opponent in the fifth level of the test not only had an astonishing defense, but his body was also extremely ferocious and terrifying. It was almost as if his entire body was covered with weapons, and there was no place that was easy to attack.

Zhong Luo couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw the opponent in front of him. How should he deal with this? He simply didn't know where to start.

Kong Fang's brows slightly frowned, but he did not hesitate. When he saw his opponent, he immediately rushed forward. Facing this opponent who had nowhere to attack, Kong Fang did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, he kept moving at a fast speed, testing the strength of this opponent.

After a moment, Kong Fang flashed back to Zhong Luo.

Zhong Luo saw Kong Fang's test just now, and felt his throat become even drier. This time, the opponent really had no place to attack. If he approached rashly, he would not be able to hurt the opponent, but would probably be injured by the sharp spikes on the opponent's body.

Those spikes are too hideous.

"Does fellow Daoist have any way to deal with it?" Zhong Luo asked in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.

"This time, the opponent's defense and attack are very strong. It's very difficult to deal with." Kong Fang also felt like encountering a hedgehog and had no idea where to start.

"I see it's slower. That's a weakness," Nakaro said.

Kong Fang couldn't help but shook his head. "Its attack and defense are both powerful enough. Its speed is actually not important. After all, this is not a normal fight. If we can't defeat it, we can choose to bypass it or escape directly. This is the dark passage. It is our fifth test and cannot be avoided. We can either return the same way or defeat it. There is no third way."

Zhong Luo was speechless. He had just overlooked the specialness of this place. This was a trial ground, not the outside world. If he couldn't win, he could just turn around and leave.

"This is only the fifth test, is it already so difficult? What about the next two tests..." Zhong Luo was unable to think further. No wonder no one had been able to break out of this dark passage alone for countless years. The difficulty was simply too high.

Only if many monks join forces and cooperate with each other can they get out of this dark passage. Of course, even if they join forces, the difficulty of this dark passage is still very abnormal.

"Ah!" The turtle-like creature suddenly let out a low roar. Seeing that Kong Fang did not take the initiative to attack, it moved its four short and thick legs and crawled towards Kong Fang. Although the four legs were short and thick, the speed of crawling was not slow at all.

Zhong Luo said that this turtle-like creature was not good at speed, but that was only relatively speaking. Its speed was definitely much faster than that of an average cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Zhongluo, please step back a little, I will try again!" Kong Fang raised his sword and prepared to attack again.

"Then you better be careful." Zhong Luo retreated quickly, but he did not retreat completely far away. Instead, he stopped at a position where he could see Kong Fang and the turtle-like creature.

Seeing Kong Fang rushing over, the turtle-like creature stopped instead. Its long snake-like neck swung slightly in the air, and its cold eyes looked at Kong Fang coldly.

Kong Fang couldn't help but reveal a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. This was only the fifth test, and he was actually blocked. Let alone the sixth and seventh tests, he would definitely not be able to pass them.

Although this turtle-like creature feels difficult to deal with, he was just testing it just now. Kong Fang's strength has not been fully exerted yet, so there may still be hope of winning.

The turtle-like creature's movement speed was far slower than Kong Fang's, but its attack speed was not slow at all. On the contrary, when Kong Fang approached quickly, the turtle-like creature's long neck swung gently, and its head covered with a hard shell and sword-like spikes stabbed towards Kong Fang violently at a terrifying speed.

A strong sense of oppression came over me.

"Get out of my way!" Kong Fang roared, and suddenly turned his body to the side, followed by the broadsword slashing fiercely on the long neck of the turtle-like creature.

The forty-second gravity of the Nine-fold Jue!

Kong Fang’s first move was the strongest physical attack available today.

Kong Fang's broadsword slashed at the sharp sword spikes on the turtle-like creature's neck, sparks flew, and a sound of metal clashing was heard. The Nine-fold Jue, layer after layer of force acted on the turtle-like creature's neck.

Click!

Kong Fang cut off the spikes on the turtle-like creature's neck, and then the broadsword fell on the hard shell on the turtle-like creature's neck. Cracks quickly appeared on the hard shell that was used for defense.

"Ah!" The turtle-like creature roared and twisted its neck rapidly. Although it was covered with a hard shell, it was very flexible when it swung its neck.

"There's a chance!" Kong Fang's eyes lit up slightly. If he could break the hard shell, it meant he had a chance to win. However, looking at the hard shell on the turtle-like creature's neck that was not completely broken, Kong Fang couldn't help but feel frightened. He had already exerted the most powerful 42 gravity, but it could only achieve this level.

Zhong Luo didn’t know how powerful Kong Fang’s attack just now was, but when he saw that Kong Fang could hurt the turtle-like creature, Zhong Luo was also surprised.

The turtle-like creature raised its neck high, trying to get away from Kong Fang. However, Kong Fang flew directly into the air and quickly chased after it. With an entry point, it would be easier to hurt the turtle-like creature.

call out!

Suddenly, the turtle-like creature's tail swept over. Kong Fang was startled. This tail was also full of sharp spikes. If it was hit, it would be no joke. But Kong Fang didn't want to miss this opportunity. If the turtle-like creature was prepared, he would have to choose a new part to attack next time, and he would have to start all over again.

Kong Fang's figure suddenly flashed, and the next second, Kong Fang was hit by the tail of the turtle-like creature. Bang! Kong Fang disappeared directly in mid-air.

Zhong Luo, who also flew into the air to watch the battle, was stunned when he saw Kong Fang being beaten into the air by the turtle-like creature's ferocious tail. Kong Fang was not formed by the power in this dark passage. How could he be beaten into pieces like his opponents in every test?

"With Kong Fang's strength, it's impossible for him to be killed so easily, right?" Zhong Luo couldn't believe it.

Suddenly, Zhong Luo discovered that the turtle-like creature did not relax at all after pulling Kong Fang apart, but became even more nervous. Zhong Luo's heart moved and he looked over.

At that moment, Kong Fang used Shadow Escape to quickly dodge a little distance and avoided the attack of the turtle-like creature. Afterwards, Kong Fang rushed towards the wound on the turtle-like creature's neck again, but this time Kong Fang kept a backup plan, and saw phantoms appearing in the air.

It was hard to tell whether these phantoms were real or fake. The turtle-like creature's tail twitched quickly, dispersing the phantoms one by one. At this time, Kong Fang himself had already arrived in front of the wound on the turtle-like creature's neck.

Kong Fang used the Nine-fold Art of the Nine-fold Divination once again and slashed its wound with his sword.

puff!

With the first attack as a prelude, this time Kong Fang's broadsword directly cut into the neck of the turtle-like creature.

call out!

The long tail swept across quickly, and came directly towards Kong Fang. Kong Fang's eyes were calm, as if he didn't see the tail coming quickly. Kong Fang slashed the turtle-like creature's neck with his sword again. Without the protection of the hard shell, the turtle-like creature's neck was almost cut off by Kong Fang this time, until it encountered the hard shell on the other side, and the broadsword stopped.

At this time, the turtle-like creature began to disintegrate rapidly from the wound on its neck, but its tail was still whipping towards Kong Fang at an extremely fast speed.

"It's dangerous!" Zhong Luo's face changed drastically, "Is he trying to kill himself?" Zhong Luo looked at him in shock. (To be continued)
