There were more than ten ants that had escaped the net and were separated by the flame array on the other side of the hall. They were so frightened that they kept retreating, not daring to approach.
It was only when Xia Ruofei removed the array that they slowly approached again. It was obvious that they had received orders to attack the people who had entered the hall, so they would not give up easily.
Xia Ruofei did not directly release the array to deal with these ants. He also wanted to see if there were any changes in his combat ability after his spiritual energy had been greatly improved, especially after his cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of the Aurous Core stage.
Xia Ruofei naturally had an objective understanding of his own strength after the increase in his cultivation, but the changes in his combat ability were more direct in actual combat.
Moreover, there were not many ants, so Xia Ruofei wanted to try to deal with them himself instead of relying on the flame array.
Thus, he signaled for Ling Qingxue to retreat a little, and then took out the Qu Shuang Flying Sword.
After Xia Ruofei's spiritual energy had been greatly improved, his control of the Qu Shuang Flying Sword had also become more flexible. He silently used the sword technique, and the tip of the Qu Shuang Flying Sword trembled slightly. In the next moment, it turned into a sharp light, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of the ant at the very front.
There was the sound of metal clashing, and in that instant, the Qu Shuang Flying Sword had already attacked the ant seven or eight times. Stabbing, slicing, slashing … the attacks landed on the ant from different angles.
However, the ant was only pushed back a few steps, and a few white marks appeared on its body, but it did not suffer any serious injuries.
Xia Ruofei could not help but stare. Although he did not use his full strength just now, the attack was already very powerful. Even a middle stage Aurous Core stage cultivator would find it difficult to block such an attack. However, the ant did not dodge — or perhaps the flying sword was too fast, and it did not have time to dodge — and thus, it did not suffer any substantial injuries.
This showed that the physical defense of the ant was also very strong.
The ferocious nature of the ant was aroused. It really didn't have time to dodge. The Crooked Frost Flying Sword was extremely fast, and the attacking routes of the Gentleman Sword Technique were very strange. The ant's movement speed was also on the slow side, so it couldn't dodge even if it wanted to. In addition, although its outer shell was not broken by the Qu Shuang Flying Sword, but every attack of the Flying Sword was very heavy, and its insides were greatly shaken. These few attacks had actually caused damage to it.
Originally, because of the flame array, the ant was a little scared. But now, after being attacked by Xia Ruofei, its ferocious nature was aroused. It no longer cared. It raised its head and let out a squeak as it rushed toward Xia Ruofei.
And Xia Ruofei did not stop attacking. The Curved Frost Flying Sword drew a mysterious arc, viciously stabbing down at the ant from above.
This time, Xia Ruofei used almost all of his strength.
And the ant also felt the danger. Its two hind legs suddenly stomped on the ground, and its speed increased a little. The Curved Frost Flying Sword missed and directly stabbed into the bluestone ground, splashing sparks.
Xia Ruofei was prepared for this. Just as the Qu Shuang Flying Sword's attack missed, the hidden Blue Traveling Immortal Sword had already flown over. Although he did not control the Flying Sword with his sword skill, Xia Ruofei's attack with all his strength was still very terrifying. The Blue Traveling Immortal Sword made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and ruthlessly cut the Ant's neck.
The ant just happened to raise its head and was three or four meters away from Xia Ruofei. The Blue Touring Immortal Sword just happened to be able to attack its neck.
With a slash, the ant's neck was cut open, and green liquid immediately splashed out of the wound, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but focus his eyes. He didn't know if this green liquid was the ant's blood, but it seemed to be highly poisonous.
The ant's neck was cut open, but it was still not completely dead.
Its bulging eyes flashed with a fierce light, and its terrifying mouthpart was raised at Xia Ruofei. A green liquid sprayed at Xia Ruofei at an extremely fast speed.
Xia Ruofei's reaction was also very fast. He immediately released a Primordial Qi shield, and at the same time, stepped on the ground and retreated to the side.
When he passed by Ling Qingxue, he grabbed Ling Qingxue's slender waist and retreated with her.
After the green liquid met Xia Ruofei's Primordial Qi shield, it was not directly blocked outside. After a series of sizzling sounds, Xia Ruofei's Primordial Qi shield was corroded into a thousand holes. The green liquid did not slow down and continued to shoot towards the place where Xia Ruofei had just stopped.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei had already dodged in time, and the Primordial Qi shield had more or less played a role in delaying the attack.
Otherwise, the short distance of three to four meters, which was in the blink of an eye, would have been sprayed on his body if he had hesitated for a moment.
Xia Ruofei saw the green liquid fall to the ground, making a sizzling sound and emitting white smoke. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart.
Although the bluestone floor of the Yunxiao Palace didn't change, he knew that this was a palace made by a powerful senior, so it could easily withstand it. If the green liquid fell on his body, the result would probably be different. Even if his physical body was very strong and his cultivation had reached the Middle-stage of the Gold Core Realm, he would most likely be corroded full of holes.
Xia Ruofei's face was a little embarrassed. He had now broken through to the Middle-stage of the Gold Core Realm, but he couldn't even deal with an ant. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if word got out?
He waved his hand, and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword under the control of his mental strength and the Curved Frost Flying Sword under the control of the sword skill flew toward the ant at the same time.
The two flying swords accurately cut the wound on the ant's neck, one in front and one behind.
Puchi! Puchi!
Xia Ruofei used all his strength to attack these two times and directly cut off the ant's head.
A large amount of green liquid spurted out of the ant's neck. After twitching on the ground a few times, it finally fell silent and stopped moving.
There were still ten ants slightly behind. When they saw their companion die tragically, they sped up and rushed in the direction of Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue.
Xia Ruofei's expression was very calm. He controlled the two flying swords to launch wave after wave of attacks at these ants.
The Gentleman's Sword Skill was very mysterious, and these ants moved slowly, so most of Xia Ruofei's attacks could easily fall on the ants.
However, these ants' physical defenses were very strong, so it was difficult for ordinary attacks to cause any harm to them.
Xia Ruofei asked Ling Qingxue to stay far away first. Moreover, he seemed to have attracted the hatred of these ants. They were basically besieging Xia Ruofei and did not pay attention to Ling Qingxue, so he did not have much to worry about. He only needed to pay attention to Ling Qingxue's situation to prevent any danger.
With the current distance between him and Ling Qingxue, if there was any danger, he could take Ling Qingxue into the Ring-Tu space with a thought, so there was no problem with her safety.
Xia Ruofei used the Floating Duckweed Steps. His speed was fast, so although the ants besieged him, they couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
In addition to forcefully charging, these ants also spat out strong green acid from their mouths, which was a very sharp attack.
However, after Xia Ruofei was on guard, their acid attack was no longer sudden. It was not difficult for Xia Ruofei to dodge it.
Xia Ruofei controlled the two flying swords to deal with these ants.
His main attack was not only using the flying swords, but also using his fists and feet to attack the ants close to him. Naturally, every attack was infused with vitality, and he went all out.
Therefore, although these ants did not suffer any external injuries, their insides were more or less injured to varying degrees.
Moreover, when Xia Ruofei was dealing with the ants, he also found that their fatal weakness seemed to be the front of their necks.
However, these ants were all crawling on the ground, so it was difficult for the flying swords to attack the front of their necks. However, every time they were about to spit out strong green acid, they would raise their heads. This naturally revealed the weakest and most fatal part.
After Xia Ruofei found the pattern, he consciously controlled the two flying swords to specifically target the ants that were about to spit out strong green acid. The moment they raised their heads, he directly cut their necks.
Xia Ruofei's control of the flying swords was now more precise, and the speed of the flying swords was also faster. Therefore, he almost never missed.
Of course, because the physical defense of the ants was very strong, even if it was the weakest part, it would often take two to three swords to cut off their heads.
Xia Ruofei dealt with these ants for more than twenty minutes, and finally used the Qu Shuang Flying Sword to cut off the head of the last ant.
Only then did Xia Ruofei withdraw the flying swords, and carefully walked out of the range of the battle just now. The blood that flowed out of the ants and the green liquid that they sprayed out were very corrosive. When these liquids flowed to the ground, they would not evaporate in a short time. Therefore, when Xia Ruofei walked, he carefully avoided those corrosive liquids.
Xia Ruofei came to Ling Qingxue's side, still slightly out of breath.
Without relying on the power of the formation, he directly relied on his own strength to fight these ants. This made Xia Ruofei a little tired.
However, actual combat was indeed the most intuitive test. These ants were at least at the late Jindan stage, especially their physical defense, who knew how many times stronger than the average Jindan stage cultivator. Xia Ruofei was able to fight one against ten and finally completely eliminate these ants, indicating that his combat strength had been greatly improved.
If now he wanted to fight with a cultivator like Chen Nanfeng, who was at the late Jindan stage and infinitely close to the Nascent Soul stage, even if he could not win, he would have a great ability to contend with them. Even Chen Nanfeng would find it difficult to defeat Xia Ruofei.
Up to now, the benefits that Xia Ruofei had gained from this trial trip were so great that he himself could not believe it. His strength was also constantly improving in each trial. Especially after taking the Cinnabar Jade Fruit, he directly broke through to the middle Jindan stage, which caused his strength to increase by a large margin.
"Ruofei, are you okay?" Ling Qingxue asked with concern.
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'm fine! It's just a few ants, it's not difficult to deal with them! "
Ling Qingxue had watched the whole process of the battle and naturally knew that these ants were not ordinary ants that could be casually crushed. It could be said that if any one of them jumped out to deal with her, she could only run for her life, and she might not even be able to escape. Therefore, such a result was actually very impressive. At least, it was not like Xia Ruofei had downplayed it, that it was just a few ants …
"It's good that you're not injured! I was watching from the side just now, and I was so scared! "Ling Qingxue said.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "It just looked thrilling, it's actually nothing! Isn't this easy to deal with? "
"Mm …" Ling Qingxue said, "Ruofei, where are we going next? Is this considered to be the completion of the mission? "
Xia Ruofei said, "Based on my intuition, this seventh level of the Tower of Trials can't be so simple. Didn't the mission prompt say? According to the completion rate and other factors, the point range will be calculated comprehensively and the reward will be given out! So, how can they let us pass so easily? I think there's a follow-up mission, let's go to the side and explore! "
Although this palace did not have its own space, the area was still very large. Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue had just entered the main hall, there was still a large area that they had not explored.
Ling Qingxue nodded and said, "Okay!"
Therefore, the two carefully walked past the area where the ant corpses were lying on the ground, and walked towards the side hall.
The side hall was very quiet, and there was nothing unusual.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue went around the side hall and came to the back of the main hall.
There were several entrances to the palace, and between the first and second entrances was a very large square. There were many flowers and plants planted in the flowerbeds on both sides. Xia Ruofei did not recognize most of them, but he had some impression of them. He should have seen them in the Realm Heart Island Spiritual Medicine Garden in the Ring-Tu space. Obviously, the flowers in the flowerbeds were not ordinary flowers and plants, but some Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Medicines.
However, Xia Ruofei knew that the things in the Training Tower could not be stored in the storage space. Moreover, he did not know what kind of test awaited them, so he did not have the mood to check the Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Medicines.
The two of them looked left and right, then quickly walked through the square.
However, when they were halfway through, the two doors of the main hall in the second entrance suddenly opened, and shadows flew out.
When Xia Ruofei saw who it was, he could not help but be stunned.
These monsters looked a little like the badgers on Earth, but their bodies were covered with hard scales, and there was a single horn on their heads.
Star Beast!
Xia Ruofei did not expect to encounter a star beast again.
When he was on the second floor of the Training Tower, the mission he received was to kill a hundred mid-level star beasts, so this kind of monster with extremely fast speed and high defense was still fresh in his memory.
He did not expect to encounter a star beast again when he had already reached the seventh floor of the Training Tower.
Xia Ruofei quickly glanced, and the Sensory Mirror immediately showed him a notification. There were a total of 22 star beasts, and they were all mid-level star beasts.
Xia Ruofei's expression suddenly became serious.
