A trace of blood seeped out of the corner of the high-level star beast's mouth. Obviously, Xia Ruofei's heavy punch had caused a lot of damage to it.
Of course, Xia Ruofei was also very clear that even if the opponent was a mid-level star beast, it would be difficult to cause fatal damage to it with his bare hands and body strength, let alone a high-level star beast.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei immediately retreated after his successful attack.
Sure enough, the high-level star beast's anger rose by a lot. It raised its head and let out a crazy roar. Then, it really did not hold back. It exerted its speed to the extreme, and its body completely turned into an afterimage as it pounced toward Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei was highly focused, and he also exerted his flexibility and agility to the extreme. While dodging the fierce attacks of the high-level star beast with all his strength, he also controlled the two flying swords to sneak attack it from time to time.
Although the high-level star beast's defense was strong, it could not withstand the flying swords attacking the same place again and again.
Xia Ruofei's control was very precise. The Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Green Touring Immortal Sword took turns to attack. Soon, a wound on its back was cut open, and blood spurted out.
Xia Ruofei was very clear that a high level star beast's defense and recovery speed were quite astonishing, so he didn't give the other party any chance to catch its breath. At the same time he jumped up to avoid the attack of the high level star beast, the Curved Frost Flying Sword and Blue Touring Immortal Sword once again slashed at the wound.
Suddenly, the wound became a little bigger — after the hard scales were cut open, although the high-level star beast's muscles and bones were also very tough, their defense was obviously not as good as the scales.
It was not that the high-level star beast did not want to dodge, but the Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Green Touring Immortal Sword were also very fast, and the angle of attack was very strange. In addition, Xia Ruofei's timing was very accurate. Every time, the high-level star beast had exhausted its strength and had not recovered its strength. At this time, the star beast's body would be stiff. Although it was very short, Xia Ruofei could acutely grasp it and repeatedly attack the same place with the Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Green Touring Immortal Sword.
Such accurate attacks made the high-level star beast suffer.
The wound on its back was already very big. Not only was it bleeding non-stop, but it was also affecting its movements.
In addition, Xia Ruofei was simply too slippery. The high-grade astral beasts' attacks almost all missed him. There were one or two times when it looked like he couldn't dodge, but Xia Ruofei would suddenly and mysteriously disappear. Immediately after, he would appear behind the astral beast and continue to attack its wounds with his heavy fists.
Xia Ruofei naturally used the Ring-Tu space. This was a little like cheating. If he really couldn't dodge the attack, he would directly hide in the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm. Then, he would use the difference in time flow between the Ring-Tu space and the Archean Realm to accurately find the location where the high-level Astral Beast's defenses were the weakest before flashing out. As a result, not only did the high-grade Astral Beast's attack miss, but the injuries on its body also worsened.
The high-grade Star Beast was naturally shocked and angry. It continuously let out furious roars.
Xia Ruofei fought with the high-level Astral Beast for more than ten minutes before he decided to activate the array formation.
The reason was very simple. He had already proven that his strength was enough to deal with high-level Astral Beasts. If he had just entered the second level of the trial tower, his reaction speed wouldn't have been able to keep up. It would have been very difficult for him to dodge the attacks of high-level Astral Beasts. It was the same for the attacks. With Xia Ruofei's strength back then, it was impossible for him to break through the high-level Astral Beast's defenses.
But now, if he persisted with his current strategy, he had a chance of grinding the high-level Astral Beast to death.
Of course, that was unless the high-level Astral Beast suddenly went berserk and stimulated 120% of its potential.
Regardless of the situation, Xia Ruofei would have to expend a lot of effort. Furthermore, there was a certain level of danger. He was still completing the mission on the seventh level of the trial tower, so he naturally didn't want any complications. Therefore, after dealing with the high-level Astral Beast for a while, he decisively chose a safer method.
He retreated as he fought, slowly moving towards the Confinement Killing Array.
The high-level Astral Beast had already lost some of its rationality. It didn't expect Xia Ruofei to have a hidden killer move, so it pressed on step by step.
Soon, Xia Ruofei retreated into the range of the array. The high-level Astral Beast didn't notice and chased after him.
Xia Ruofei's figure flashed and dodged the high-level Astral Beast's attack. Then, he formed a seal and the Confinement Killing Array was instantly activated.
The high-level Astral Beast suddenly lost its target. While it was distracted, the sharp black light attack had already descended from the sky.
What happened next was simple. Although the impact of the high-level Astral Beast's attack could cause some damage to the Confinement Killing Array, Xia Ruofei's strength was no longer the same as before. Therefore, he didn't simply stay outside the array to control it. While launching the array's attack, he also hid inside the array and controlled the two flying swords to launch a sneak attack on the high-level Astral Beast.
The high-level Astral Beast couldn't pay attention to one thing and lost sight of another. The black light constantly fell on its body. The Curved Frost Flying Swords and Green Traveling Immortal Swords also slashed its wounds again and again.
After a while, raging flames appeared in the wounds.
The high-level Astral Beast let out a mournful howl.
Xia Ruofei calmly controlled the array's attack. More and more black light fell on the high-level Astral Beast's body.
After a while, the high-level Astral Beast turned into a fireball and kept rolling on the ground.
Soon, its howls gradually weakened, and then there was no more sound.
Xia Ruofei controlled the Curved Frost Flying Swords and directly cut off the high-level Astral Beast's head. Then, he stopped the operation of the array and directly put the array's materials into the Ring-Tu space. At the same time, he moved Ling Qingxue out of the Ring-Tu space.
When Ling Qingxue saw the high-level Astral Beast curled up into a ball, she couldn't help but be shocked.
When they encountered the high-level Astral Beast just now, Xia Ruofei didn't even have time to tell Ling Qingxue before he directly put her into the "Protective Magic Treasure". She also didn't have time to remind Xia Ruofei to be careful. Therefore, during these ten to twenty minutes, Ling Qingxue felt like years.
She didn't see any high-level Astral Beasts on the second floor of the Tower of Trials. However, the characteristics of high-level Astral Beasts were very obvious. At a glance, she could tell that they were much more powerful than mid-level Astral Beasts. Therefore, she was naturally very worried about Xia Ruofei.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Xia Ruofei finished the battle.
Ling Qingxue pointed at the lump of black charcoal in surprise and said, "Ruofei, is this the Astral Beast just now? Why is it so burned? "
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "This guy was a little difficult to deal with. I used a formation!"
"Oh …" Ling Qingxue couldn't help but stick out her tongue. She smiled and said, "That's too cruel. This is …"
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "Actually, I could've killed it slowly. However, I didn't want to complicate things. Also, I was afraid that you would be worried if I took too long, so I decided to end the battle quickly!"
"Isn't that right? I was worried sick! "Ling Qingxue said.
Then, she asked, "Isn't this Astral Beast a monster on the second floor of the Tower of Trials? Why would it appear on the seventh floor of the Tower of Trials? "
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "I'm not sure either … However, I'm guessing that the seventh floor is a test of overall strength. All kinds of monsters can appear in this Yunxiao Hall. We have to be careful."
"Mm! No wonder the rewards are based on the completion of the mission. " Ling Qingxue nodded and said. Then, her expression darkened and she said, "I can't even help you. At the crucial moment, I might even drag you down …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Look! You're doing it again … I told you, don't belittle yourself. You being by my side is the greatest support you can give me! Most of the time, your role is irreplaceable! This kind of fighting and killing is not what you're good at. Isn't it better for me to deal with it? Also, you only encountered such a strong monster because you were with me. If you were alone, the test would've been arranged according to your strength. So, it's my fault! "
Ling Qingxue smiled embarrassedly and said, "What are you talking about! I won't be able to pass this level by myself, alright? "
"So don't think too much about it! Anyway, it's a profit now. Also, I have a magic weapon to protect your safety. If you hide in danger, I won't have to worry about you, right? "Xia Ruofei smiled and comforted her." It won't affect you. Don't worry! "
Xia Ruofei continued and said, "Let's go! Let's continue to explore! "
"Mm!"
The two of them continued to walk. After passing through the hall, they arrived at the square between the third and second sections. This square was slightly smaller than the previous one. To be precise, it was not a square, but more like a garden. There were many pavilions and pavilions, and there was also a gurgling stream. The winding path connected these sceneries together. Walking on the path, they could see different sceneries every time they changed direction.
This was the typical style of a Jiangnan garden.
Ling Qingxue could not help but be attracted by the scenery in front of her. She praised, "The design of this garden is very high!"
"That's for sure! Cultivators have been comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth all year round. The buildings and gardens they design are not smoky and are closer to the Dao of Nature, "Xia Ruofei said with a smile." But don't be lost in this beautiful scenery! Danger is often brewing in such sceneries! "
"I know …" Ling Qingxue smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was just thinking that it would be great if we had a house like this!"
Xia Ruofei could not help but laugh and said, "You want to live in a palace? Do you want to be a concubine? "
"There's no point in living in a palace. It's so high and so empty …" Ling Qingxue pursed her lips and said, "But this kind of garden is very comfortable. Look, there's a bamboo house over there. In summer, you can sit in the bamboo house and listen to music, make tea, enjoy the scenery of the garden, and enjoy the breeze …"
"There are mosquitoes and maybe rats!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Ling Qingxue's face suddenly stiffened. Then, she hit Xia Ruofei playfully and said, "Why are you such a killjoy!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "You're thinking about poetry and the future, but I just want to remind you that life is more about the current situation! Think about it, there are so many plants here, and the stream is so humid. How can there be no snakes, insects, rats, and ants? Especially in summer, the bamboo house is surrounded by wind. How can there be no mosquitoes? "
When Ling Qingxue thought of the scene described by Xia Ruofei, she could not help but tremble slightly. However, she immediately realized that she had been tricked by Xia Ruofei. She could not help but glare at Xia Ruofei and say, "Nonsense! This is a palace made by a senior. How can there be snakes, insects, rats, and ants? "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "How can there not be? Didn't we encounter a group of ants as soon as we entered the palace? And they were such big ants … "
As Xia Ruofei spoke, he gestured with his hand the size of the ants.
Ling Qingxue said, "That's not the same …"
"Shh!" Xia Ruofei suddenly made a shushing gesture.
Ling Qingxue quickly shut her mouth, looked around nervously, and then looked at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei listened for a while and released his spiritual power. After a while, he asked, "Qingxue, did you hear footsteps just now?"
Ling Qingxue said with a trembling voice, "No! What's the situation? "
"Oh!" Xia Ruofei said with a shrug, "I didn't hear it either!"
After saying that, he continued to walk forward in a relaxed manner.
Ling Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she had been tricked by Xia Ruofei again. She couldn't help but cry out coquettishly, "Xia Ruofei! Do you not want to live anymore?! How dare you tease me! "
After that, she quickly chased after Xia Ruofei and grabbed his clothes, as if she was going to hit Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei struggled for a moment, and his face changed slightly. He said, "Qingxue, listen …"
"Again!" Ling Qingxue said angrily, "Do you really think I'm stupid? I've been tricked again and again! "
"I'm not tricking you this time!" Xia Ruofei made a shushing gesture and pointed to the right in front of him.
There was a patch of low green plants. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but now it was shaking slightly, and there was no wind at all.
Ling Qingxue also realized that something was wrong. It turned out that this time, it was really not a joke. She looked at the small trees, and her expression became a little nervous. At the same time, she let go of Xia Ruofei's clothes.
"Ruofei, what's the situation?" Ling Qingxue asked softly.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, we'll deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo …"
After that, he directly released his spiritual power and extended it toward the small forest.
After scanning the small forest with his spiritual power, Xia Ruofei's heart tightened slightly. He only had time to whisper, "Qingxue, relax your mind, don't resist!"
Ling Qingxue and Xia Ruofei had a very good tacit understanding. After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he directly put Ling Qingxue into the Ring-Tu space. It only took the blink of an eye for Ling Qingxue to completely give up resistance, and there was no hesitation during the whole process.
In a flash, Xia Ruofei clearly felt a strong wave of spiritual power coming from the direction of the small forest. Then, he felt the world change, and the environment around him suddenly changed dramatically.
