The pillars in this room must be some kind of array. Du Feng was an array master, so of course he could see this, but he couldn't tell what kind of array it was. If he wanted to get out of here, he had to break the array. However, it would definitely take a long time to break such a complicated array.
It was very likely that Du Feng would need to stay here for a few years, or even decades, to slowly understand this formation before he could break it. However, the problem was that he had to participate in the competition tomorrow, and he didn't have that much time.
Being in the center of such a mysterious array was indeed a good opportunity to learn, but the problem was that Du Feng didn't have the time. He quickly walked around the pillars in the room and found a problem. The seventh floor was the most important place in the entire sword pagoda, and the place where the gray-haired man was sitting was the array eye of the entire array.
In other words, even if he learned how to break the array, he would have to defeat the gray-haired man first. It was simply a trap.
"Get out, kid. You're not qualified to replace me."
The gray-haired man seemed to have noticed that Du Feng knew array formations and knew where the array eye was. He didn't open his eyes and just casually said to Du Feng.
"I want to get out too, but I can't find the door."
Of course, Du Feng wanted to get out as soon as possible. It didn't matter whether he was rolling or flying, but the problem was that he couldn't get out.
The gray-haired man still didn't open his eyes and gave him a suggestion. "Cut these chains, and I'll send you out."
This suggestion sounded rather nonsensical, as the grade of the chains was extraordinarily high. Frankly speaking, Du Feng couldn't tell what grade it was, as it was beyond his understanding. In short, it was incomparably high, so high that he didn't have the desire to cut it.
"Stop joking. How can such chains be cut?"
Du Feng felt that the gray-haired man was playing with him. The gray-haired man couldn't even break free from the chains himself, yet he wanted him to cut them. If the chains were really cut and the gray-haired man regained his freedom, he would probably be the next person to be killed.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
However, the gray-haired man did not give up. He insisted on letting Du Feng try.
"Alright!"
In order to make the gray-haired man give up, Du Feng took out his Dragon Riding Sword. Xiao Chen poured all the Quintessence in his body into the sword, activating his strongest state. A purple thunder dragon circled around the sword's body. Electric arcs crackled beside it, making it look quite intimidating.
But the problem was that a mid-grade Dharma artifact couldn't even be considered as scrap metal on the seventh floor of the Sword Pagoda. Would it really be useful?
Du Feng was not stupid. Although he was chopping at the chains with all his might, he was not using the Dragon Riding Sword. Because that would break the sword. After he injected his True Essence, he used the extended Sword Light to fiercely hack at the chain.
The power of this sword was not small. The purple lightning dragon continuously roared, increasing the power of the sword light. The sword light repeatedly rubbed and cut the chain, causing sparks to fly everywhere. In any case, the chain was not moving, and Du Feng did not intend to cut it in one go. This way, the probability of success might be higher.
Damn it! Originally, Du Feng thought that this was nothing. He was just trying it out. But suddenly, a strong suction came from the front. The Dragon Riding Sword in his hand was actually sucked in by the chain. What was worse was that his hands were stuck to the sword hilt, and he could not get rid of it.
The Quintessence in his body was like a flood that had opened the floodgates. Du Feng wanted to stop, but he couldn't. The stock in his dantian was also gushing out. If this continued, he would probably be sucked dry. It would be good if he could have a layer of skin left.
What was going on? Du Feng quickly thought before he fainted. The old man had always been good to him. Why did he let him enter the seventh floor of the Sword Pagoda? Didn't he know that there was danger inside? Or did he know that there was danger inside and wanted to harm him?
No … I can't die!
After Du Feng's body became weak, his consciousness began to blur. He could only keep reminding himself that he couldn't die. He must not die. He promised the Queen of the Extreme North to accompany her back to the Cold Winter City. He wanted to go to the Southern Heaven Realm to find Fu Yao, but he didn't even know how to get there.
He still thought that one day, he would not be bound by the rules of heaven and earth. He would break the space barrier and go to the lower realm to see his father and mother and prolong their lives. There was also that Shangguan Yun. She didn't say clearly why she stabbed him.
There were too many things waiting for Du Feng. He couldn't die yet. He absolutely couldn't die.
Just thinking of this, he fainted completely. Of course, the fainted Du Feng didn't die. His eyes emitted a purple-red light, and his whole person became fierce. This was the demonization state, the complete demonization state. Once Du Feng's body was in a state of near death, the demonized him would appear.
The demonized Du Feng loosened his hands, and the Dragon Riding Sword fell to the ground with a bang. He didn't hold the Dragon Riding Sword, so of course, his True Essence wouldn't be sucked away. What's more, the current Du Feng didn't have any True Essence in his body. There was only demonic energy, pure demonic energy.
He turned his face to look at the gray-haired man and asked at the same time, "Did you force me out?"
The gray-haired man finally opened his eyes for the second time and stared at the demonized Du Feng. This time, Du Feng's demonization was different from the past. Even when he killed the White Bone General, he didn't demonize to this extent. This time, Du Feng lost 100% of his self-consciousness and was completely replaced by the demon.
The gray-haired man's eyes didn't become black holes this time, but like a vast sea of stars, it gave people a feeling of boundlessness. He didn't answer the question but asked, "Are you going to hide in his body?"
"At least I can't leave yet, and you can't either."
The demonized Du Feng's words were quite cold, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the gray-haired man. The communication between the two of them didn't feel like two martial artists talking, but two worlds colliding with each other and squeezing each other.
"Yes, I can't either. I hope we can meet again next time."
After saying this, the gray-haired man closed his eyes. The vast sea of stars disappeared, as if nothing had happened. And Du Feng, who was lying on the ground, was sleeping soundly and even snoring. He didn't know what happened at all, and the Dragon Riding Sword had already been put away. But the old man guarding the tower outside was a little anxious, wondering why the kid hadn't come out yet. Didn't he just let him in to learn some skills?
