"The strength of these two puppets has exceeded that of the Nine Tribulations. Let's not try to defeat them."
At this point, Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to speak up. He thought for a while and said, "As long as we can open the box and take out the things inside, the stairs to the sixth floor will appear. Our best choice is to stall the two puppets for a while and then blast open the box."
The two golden puppets seemed to only be guarding the purple-gold box. Even though everyone had already reached the fifth floor, they still stood in place and had no intention of pouncing on them.
"That box is obviously of high quality. Ordinary magic treasures and spells can't blast it open at all," Li You said with narrowed eyes.
"Only a divine weapon can blast open that purple-gold box. Its quality is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal treasure." Xiao Lingyu nodded in response.
"Divine weapon … Who among us has a divine weapon?" The Shuntian League's Nine Tribulations expert said with a wry smile.
It was not that there were no divine weapons in the Cultivation World. The top aristocratic families might each have a divine weapon, but divine weapons needed divine power to activate. In the Cultivation World, divine weapons were actually not as useful as immortal weapons. After all, individual immortals could activate immortal weapons, but they could not unleash even a millionth of the divine weapon's power.
Therefore, even if the top forces had divine weapons, their experts would not bring them with them when they went out.
"If we don't blast open the box, we can't kill the two puppets at all. In this case, our path in this iron tower has come to an end," Gengjia said with a frown.
"Even if we don't provoke the two puppets or blast open the box, we still have to find a way to leave. Although we can retreat to the fourth floor now, the stairs from the fourth floor to the third floor have disappeared, "Li You said with a calm expression.
"In my opinion, we have to go up to the sixth floor to find a way to leave this iron tower," the Shuntian League's Nine Tribulations expert guessed.
"Everyone, we have no way back. We can only continue forward. Therefore, this purple-gold box must be opened."
After Li You said this, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "Just now, I saw this fellow Daoist break open those black iron boxes very easily. She probably used a divine weapon, right?"
Xiao Lingyu knew that everyone could see it, so he didn't try to deny it. He waved the Silver Moon Saber in his hand and said, "This is indeed a divine weapon, but it's already broken. It's just very sharp."
"Even if it's a damaged God Artifact, it's enough. We'll have to rely on you to break open this purple-gold box. The rest of us will be responsible for holding back those two puppets," Li You said calmly, as if he had no interest in Xiao Lingyu's God Artifact.
"But what if he takes all the treasures inside after breaking the box?" Gengjia asked worriedly.
"Brother Gengjia, you worry too much. If he dares to take all the treasures for himself, the three of us will naturally join forces to deal with him. I don't think he'll be so foolish," the Shuntian League's Nine Tribulations expert said with a smile.
"Before we went upstairs, we said that if there are treasures inside the box, then this fellow Daoist will compensate us with Immortal Stones after taking it. If there are still Immortal Stones inside, then we'll split them equally. For now, we'd better hold back those two puppets. "
After Li You concluded, he took the lead and rushed toward the two puppets.
Gengjia and the Shuntian League's Nine Tribulations expert followed suit. The three Nine Tribulations experts attacked the two golden puppets at the same time. Instantly, waves of powerful aura shook the space on the fifth floor.
The two golden puppets seemed to have been awakened from a deep sleep. They appeared to be very irritable. The large sabers that were originally on their shoulders repeatedly slashed out golden saber light, but their bodies refused to leave the box no matter what.
Xiao Lingyu knew that it was not as easy to open the purple-gold box as everyone thought. He needed ten breaths of time, but the three Nine Tribulations experts might not be able to buy him that much time.
Xiao Lingyu also knew that there was an exit on the sixth floor, but the sixth floor was even more dangerous.
Originally, Xiao Lingyu's plan was to go down to the third floor immediately after going up to the fourth floor and then leave this iron tower. However, these Nine Tribulations experts came too quickly and completely disrupted his plan.
However, with so many Nine Tribulations experts accompanying him, he could still take a look at the fifth and sixth floors.
In addition to the three Nine Tribulations experts, the other accompanying cultivators also surrounded the two golden puppets. Each of them cast powerful spells and controlled powerful magic treasures to besiege the two golden puppets.
Although the two golden puppets had been standing still, the saber light from their large sabers was able to firmly protect their bodies. It was very difficult for any attack to pass through the saber light and hit their bodies.
"If you want those two puppets to leave, you must attack that box!"
After watching for a while, Xiao Lingyu could not help but remind everyone when he saw that they were still unable to do anything to the two puppets.
Although the three Nine Tribulations experts were not sure if Xiao Lingyu's words would work, they did not mind giving it a try.
Sure enough, as Xiao Lingyu said, when Li You's Black Blood Seal continuously bombarded the purple-gold box, the two puppets seemed to be enraged. They both roared and pounced on Li You.
The departure of the two golden puppets from the purple-gold box made everyone happy. After Li You lured them away, he took out the Heaven Concealing Demonic Banner. The Nine Tribulations expert from the Shuntian League once again threw out the golden chain.
The rest of the experts formed a circle, trapping the two golden puppets in it.
Xiao Lingyu knew that this was an opportunity, so he did not continue to watch. In a flash, he arrived beside the lone purple-gold box. Then, he swung the Silver Moon Broken Saber in his hand and fiercely slashed down.
After only three slashes, cracks had already appeared on the purple-gold box. However, the two golden puppets relied on the incomparably fierce attacks of their sabers to rush out of the encirclement.
Xiao Lingyu immediately attacked with six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs, and then he very sensibly retreated.
The attack of the six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs did not pose any threat to the two golden puppets. However, it slowed down their speed of rotation, allowing Xiao Lingyu to safely leave the purple-gold box.
Li You and the other experts surrounded the box again. The two golden puppets that were originally going to kill Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to stay and continue to guard the purple-gold box that was about to crack open.
Xiao Lingyu's attack was effective, which filled everyone with hope. They followed Xiao Lingyu's instructions and continued to attack the purple-gold box while surrounding the two golden puppets.
Although the golden puppets were very powerful, they were still puppets after all. They were not very smart and were once again lured away.
However, the two puppets that were lured away this time seemed to be on the verge of going berserk. Every time the sabers in their hands slashed out, there would be thousands of sharp saber rays. Even Li You did not dare to block them and could only retreat again and again.
Some of the weaker cultivators, because they dodged a little slower and did not have any immortal weapons to protect them, were directly slashed at the waist by the saber rays. Their Nascent Souls and Primordial Spirits were instantly destroyed.
Since entering the metal tower, everyone suffered casualties for the first time under the protection of the Nine Tribulations experts. Moreover, the casualties were still increasing. Almost every moment, there were cultivators dying under the countless saber rays.
Xiao Lingyu flashed to the side of the purple-gold box again. After three more slashes, the purple-gold box still did not crack open, and the two puppets that were almost unscathed charged back. Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to use the Demon Suppressing Immortal Orb to block them and escape again.
In fact, Xiao Lingyu could have split the purple-gold box open after these two slashes, but he had a selfish motive, so he deliberately held back some strength. The purpose was to let the two golden puppets perform for a while longer so that they could cause more damage to the other teams and the three Nine Tribulations experts. At the very least, they could deplete more of their strength.
The purple-gold box was already on the verge of breaking, and the two golden puppets were even more furious. They charged out together, their two sabers slashing in the same direction at the same time. The two saber rays actually gathered together, causing the power of the saber rays to superimpose. The saber rays that swept out horizontally took the lives of six cultivators in an instant, including two Eight Tribulations experts.
Even Li You, a top expert in the cultivation world, had an arm cut off when he was attacked by the superimposed saber rays.
However, the two golden puppets kept superimposing their saber rays, and the cultivators could no longer form an encirclement around them. Instead, they were chased around by them and fled in all directions.
Xiao Lingyu still did not make a move. He was still waiting until the two golden puppets injured Gengjia. Then, he flashed to the side of the purple-gold box and slashed with the Silver Moon Broken Saber.
The purple-golden box burst open. Xiao Lingyu quickly put away the colorful Immortal Crystals inside it as soon as they showed up.
The moment the purple-gold box exploded, a purple-gold staircase appeared in the middle of the fifth floor, and the two golden puppets disappeared at the same time.
This time, Xiao Lingyu did not hesitate at all. He quickly led his team up the stairs to the sixth floor.
By the time the cultivators who were chased by the two golden puppets regained their senses, Xiao Lingyu and the rest were no longer on the fifth floor. The staircase also began to dissipate.
Since Xiao Lingyu dared to rush to the sixth floor, the other cultivators did not hesitate to rush to the stairs even though they knew that the sixth floor might be more dangerous. After all, they would only have a chance to leave this place if they went to the sixth floor.
Moreover, everyone reckoned that the treasures hidden on the sixth floor were the most precious treasures in this iron tower.
The sixth floor was different from the fifth floor below. There were many secret rooms here, and each room could only accommodate one cultivator.
Xiao Lingyu knew about the situation here, which was why he cooperated with the three Ninth Tribulation experts. After snatching the immortal crystals, he went straight to the sixth floor and did not split the immortal crystals with them.
By the time the other experts reached the sixth floor, Xiao Lingyu and the rest had already entered their own secret rooms.
These secret rooms were not without danger. In fact, they were extremely dangerous.
Every secret room had some kind of danger. However, if they could resolve those dangers, they would be able to obtain great benefits and leave this iron tower.
