"Roar …"
The sphinx's attack didn't work, so it was obviously infuriated. It had such a majestic body and immense power, yet it couldn't even flatten a few puny humans. It stood up and waved its two front claws, attacking from both sides. Regardless of how sharp the opponent's sword was, it slammed upwards as if it was hitting a sandbag.
Bang, bang, bang, bang …
Every strike from the sphinx was like a meteorite crashing into the ground, causing the walls nearby to tremble. Of course, Seven Kills didn't have it easy either. The seven of them defended together. It was fine at first, but as time went by, their arms became numb, and they waited for a chance to fight back.
"It's not that great. It can only defend and can't fight back."
Seeing that Seven Kills only knew how to defend and couldn't fight back, some of the explorers mocked them again.
Ugh … Some explorers saw how fierce the sphinx was and felt lucky that they didn't go up to die. They couldn't resist the power of the claws alone. Who knew if the sphinx had other tricks up its sleeve?
"Spiral Kill!"
After the sphinx waved its claws a dozen times, there was a pause in the middle. Seizing the opportunity, Seven Kills activated Spiral Kill. The six people on the periphery spun rapidly. They stopped defending and extended their swords outward. Like a cutting machine, they spun toward the sphinx.
The sphinx's two front legs were the first to be cut. Its skin was very thick and stubborn. A few slashes from the swords wouldn't be able to break its defense. However, this Spiral Kill had its own unique feature. Once it was used, the six swords would attack at a high frequency.
Losing the initiative, the sphinx was forced to retreat. Several wounds of different depths appeared on its two front legs. Seven Kills, who had been passively attacked, suddenly turned from offense to defense.
"Yes!"
Du Feng nodded, expressing his approval of Seven Kills' fighting style. Although they weren't very moral, it had nothing to do with character. You couldn't say that you could block two attacks with one slash just because you had a good character. You couldn't avoid getting hurt just because you had a good character.
They had obviously practiced this Seven Star Sword Array for a long time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to seize the moment when the sphinx's attack stopped. If the seven of them could work together like this, it would be much easier for them to clear the trial. Of course, Du Feng was just thinking about it. After all, the seven of them had different levels of Cultivation, and their fighting styles were also very different.
The Seven-star Sword Array spun faster and faster like an accelerating cutting machine, forcing the sphinx to retreat to the door. If it retreated any further, it would be the same as giving up the entrance. Du Feng also noticed that although the sphinx's front legs were covered in wounds, its belly was getting bigger and bigger. Was it trying to self-destruct and die together with Seven Kills?
As the guardian of the third floor, it was possible for the sphinx to self-destruct in order to complete its mission. Thus, Du Feng pulled his companions and retreated further. The other explorers saw that Seven Kills was about to succeed. In order to enter the third floor as soon as possible to search for treasures, everyone unconsciously moved forward. Only Du Feng's team moved backward, which made them seem very out of place.
No, there was another team that was also retreating. It was the four youths from Thousand Moon Nation. They were small, so they did not attract much attention.
"Strangle!"
Seeing that the time was right, the person in the middle of the array jumped up, and the other six followed. Their bodies rotated, and they all raised the swords in their hands. Seven people's seven swords drilled towards the sphinx's head like an electric drill.
"Roar …"
Seeing that the sphinx's head was about to be drilled, it suddenly opened its mouth and let out a roar. Following this furious roar, Clapping's stomach deflated, and a yellow beam of light that was about the thickness of a head shot out.
Damn, how could its mouth be used as a True Origin Cannon? Du Feng knew how to make True Origin Cannons, so of course he could see how powerful that attack was. Roughly speaking, it was at least equivalent to the destructive power of five True Origin Cannons firing at a single point.
The human body was made of flesh, so how could it withstand such an attack? The member of Seven Kills who had just jumped into the air was unable to dodge, and was directly blasted into pieces. Coupled with the high temperature of the beam of light, not even the broken bones were left.
Fortunately, when the beam of light shot out, it was slanted upwards. Otherwise, the explorers following behind would have been in trouble. According to Du Feng's estimation, that beam of light would be able to penetrate at least another twenty to thirty people. Even so, the aftermath of the explosion was enough to make the explorers choke.
"Pfft, pfft …"
The explorers walking in front were more unlucky. The remains of the Seven Kills members' bodies were blown into their mouths, and they vomited out in disgust. While everyone was panicking, Du Feng noticed that the sphinx seemed to have become a lot weaker after this attack.
"Blink!"
Without waiting for the others to react, he used Blink Step and directly appeared in front of the sphinx. The sphinx was panting with its mouth open, and Du Feng's left hand reached into its throat.
"This …"
Yuan Cheng had been waiting for Du Feng, and he was the first to react. 'What the hell? This guy is crazy. ' It was understandable that he wanted to defeat the sphinx while it was weak, but why did he put his arm into the sphinx's mouth?
"Du …"
Gu Xiaobei wanted to warn his brother Du to be careful, but he realized that he could not expose his brother Du's identity, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
While everyone was still in a daze, Du Feng's entire arm had already reached into the sphinx's mouth. He grabbed something and yanked it out with all his might. Before anyone could see what was going on, he put it into the pocket dimension of the necklace.
Looking at the sphinx, after Du Feng took away the thing in its body. Like a deflated ball, it deflated immediately. It turned out that its lion skin and human head were just a thick layer of skin. That meant that the sphinx at the entrance of the third floor was not a hybrid between a lion and a human, but a very strange mechanical beast.
"Damn, how did Brother Du see through it?"
Feng Leizi rubbed his eyes, still unable to believe what was happening in front of him. He whispered to Gu Xiaobei using the Secret Voice Transmission.
"I didn't see it clearly either. It's probably because of the last attack."
Gu Xiaobei also did not understand, but he guessed that Du Feng should have seen something from the sphinx's attack on Seven Kills. During the bombardment, its mouth was wide open. It might have exposed some secrets, and Brother Du caught it.
