Dreams were beautiful, but the reality was … Ling Chen searched through the bushes for a long time, but did not find any Plant Immortals. Plant Immortals were demon spirits that relied on the power left behind by the God of War to gain sentience. They were not orthodox monsters, and there were very few of them. The five that Ling Chen had killed were all of them.
After searching through the huge flowerbed for a while, he did not find anything of value. Ling Chen finally walked towards the exit. The real trial should begin after he left the flowerbed. He felt more and more that this place was the old residence of the God of War a thousand years ago. Before he died, he used his power to seal this place, and it became a place for him to train his descendants.
As he walked out of the flowerbed, he heard the sound of flowing water. In front of him was a chasm that was about fifty meters wide. There was a bridge that was fifty meters long and four to five meters wide. Below the bridge was a flowing river. Everything here was close to the purest and most flawless of nature. It was easy for people to immerse themselves in the picture of nature. It was difficult to associate this place with the dangerous trial grounds. Ling Chen's footsteps slowed down, walking forward step by step. Just as he was about to step onto the bridge, a "howl" sounded out. Xiao Hui, who was originally running behind him, suddenly jumped in front of him, blocking in front of him. He arched his body towards the direction of the bridge, his eyes releasing a vigilant light.
Ling Chen's eyebrows furrowed. He bent down, grabbed a stone beside him, and threw it towards the bridge.
Whoosh …
The moment the pebble touched the bridge, a white sword ray suddenly shot out from the abyss below and hit the pebble. Before the pebble could touch the bridge a second time, it had already been destroyed into dust.
This bridge … was actually hiding a terrifying sword ray formation!! As soon as one stepped onto the bridge, there would be a large number of sword rays shooting at them. It was impossible to defend against!
This bridge, was the first stage of the trial? As expected of the God of War's trial. It was very scary.
How should one pass it?
"Howl!!"
As he stared at the bridge, Little Gray seemed to sense his master's confusion. With a soft cry, it reached out its right claw and scratched Ling Chen's trousers. After attracting Ling Chen's attention, it jumped on the spot, and then rushed onto the bridge with a whoosh.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Everything was as Ling Chen expected. Wherever Xiao Hui went, streaks of white sword light would suddenly shoot up from below. The speed of the sword light was extremely fast, like streaks of white meteors … But, Xiao Hui's speed was even more astonishing. Under his full speed, his grey body brought up a grey shadow as he rushed over. All of the sword light hit the place he had just stepped on, but were all left behind, not a single one able to touch his body. A few seconds later, before Ling Chen could react, Little Gray was already standing on the other side of the bridge. It was jumping on the spot and shouting at him … It was obvious that it wanted Ling Chen to imitate its method of rushing over.
Ling Chen really wanted to rush over like it …
However, the problem was … Little Gray's movement speed was as high as 300! And Ling Chen's was only slightly over 100! If he were to imitate Little Gray and rush over without thinking, he would be riddled with holes the moment he stepped on the bridge.
Standing at the edge of the bridge, he hesitated for a long time. In the end, Ling Chen did not try, nor could he. After a while, he raised his head and looked to his left and right. Suddenly, he saw that there was another bridge less than 100 meters to his right. It also connected the two sides, but it seemed to be slightly narrower.
With his movement speed, it was impossible for him to pass through the sword formation on the bridge before him. After thinking for a while, he strode toward the bridge on the right.
Little Gray tilted its head in confusion. Watching its master leave, it hurriedly dashed over. In just a few seconds, a gray shadow flashed by and Little Gray had already returned to Ling Chen's side. It completely ignored the sword formation, and the look of satisfaction on its face made Ling Chen's teeth slightly itch.
Standing in front of the second bridge, Ling Chen realized that this bridge was much narrower than the previous one. Its width was less than two meters, and it was made up of wooden planks. Occasionally, when a breeze blew, it would sway, and it looked like it could break at any time.
Ling Chen picked up a stone to test it. This bridge did not have the same sword formation as the previous one. However, Ling Chen did not feel relieved because of that. A bridge with a terrifying sword formation, and a bridge without a sword formation … Perhaps anyone would choose the one in front of him without a sword formation! It seemed to be deliberately guiding people to cross this bridge … Under such circumstances, it was highly possible that … there was a greater danger on this bridge than the previous one.
Ling Chen fell silent. After a long time, he finally took a step forward and carefully stepped on the bridge. Little Gray could easily pass through the sword formation on the previous bridge, but he could not! Even if there was a greater danger ahead, this was the only way.
Creak!
Creak!
Creak …
As he stepped on the bridge, the sound of the wood being pulled taut could be heard. It sounded like it could break at any time. The sound made Ling Chen's heart tremble. At the same time, as he stepped on the bridge, the swaying of the bridge became more intense, making it difficult for him to maintain his balance. Even Little Gray behind him was swaying.
"Awoo!!"
Just as Ling Chen carefully walked to the middle of the bridge, Little Gray's cry suddenly rang out behind him. Ling Chen stopped in his tracks and turned his body sideways. His eyes swept across the front and back of the bridge, his vigilance at its highest. He already knew that when Little Gray cried out like this, it meant that it had sensed danger approaching.
Whoosh …
Two rays of white light suddenly flashed at the two ends of the bridge at the same time. Then, they quickly condensed into two wide barriers, firmly blocking the front and back of the bridge.
Ling Chen: "!!!!"
Two white barriers descended from the sky, sealing off his path of advance and retreat. They locked him firmly on this extremely unstable bridge that could break at any time. Ling Chen stared at the two tall barriers, his eyebrows tightly knitted together … this bridge was indeed not that easy to cross … and it wasn't as simple as just these two barriers.
After the barriers appeared, two almost identical rays of grey light flashed in front of the barriers. Then, they formed two figures covered in a faint grey light.
[Sword God's Page Boy · Sword]: Type: Undead, Level: LV15, Grade: Lord, HP: 15000. The page boy of the Sword God's page boys. It has exquisite swordsmanship. After its death, it passively inherited a portion of the Sword God's will and power, becoming an undead that guards this place.
[Sword God's Page Boy · Spear]: Type: Undead, Level: LV15, Grade: Lord, HP: 15000. The page boy of the Spear Boy of the War God's page boys. It has exquisite swordsmanship. After its death, it passively inherited a portion of the Sword God's will and power, becoming an undead that guards this place.
The two page boy undead that appeared did not stop at all, charging at him from two different directions. At this moment, a sharp cry rang out from above Ling Chen. Ling Chen quickly raised his head and saw a giant green bird that had appeared at an unknown time, diving down towards him.
[Undead Zephyr Bird]: Type: Undead, Level: LV15, Grade: Lord, HP: 12000. One of the pets that the War God raised when he was alive. It has a pair of sharp eyes, an agile body and an extremely strong dodging ability. It can control the wind element to attack. Even though it is in an undead state, its body seems to hide some kind of mysterious power that the War God left behind when he left.
Ling Chen: "!!!!"
Left, right, above … a whole three Lord grade Bosses!!
This is undoubtedly the strongest line-up that Ling Chen has ever encountered apart from the Greedy Giant Toad. Facing three LV15 Lord grade Bosses at the same time and also being on a dangerous bridge where he could fall into the abyss if he wasn't careful. This kind of environment, this kind of opponent … If it was any other player here, they would probably just choose to jump down from here.
With his current ability, facing one LV15 Lord grade Boss by himself is not a problem. Facing two at the same time can also be handled calmly. If it's three and he goes all out, he can also completely do it. But the prerequisite is that it's under an ideal environment. In his current situation, even facing one LV15 Lord grade Boss alone would be extremely dangerous.
I have to get rid of one in a flash, otherwise it would be too troublesome to be surrounded by it from the left, right and top.
Making a decision in his mind, Ling Chen steadied his body and then used his fastest speed to run towards the sword page boy …
"Flame of Rage!"
"Soul Sacrifice!"
In this extremely dangerous situation where he encountered a powerful enemy, he cast "Soul Sacrifice" without the slightest hesitation, putting himself on the brink of death. Then, he raised Soaring Cloud, and while running, he threw it towards the sword page boy that was approaching him.
"Shooting Soaring Cloud!!"
Whoosh!!!
It must be a critical hit!!
Like a silver meteor, Soaring Cloud flew towards the sword page boy with the whistling sound of the wind. It pierced through his chest and out his back, then accurately stabbed into a piece of the bridge.
-15000！
A five-digit damage number floated above the sword page boy's head. The sword page boy's body that was running forward suddenly froze and then softly fell to the ground … dead!!
This strong LV15 Lord was actually insta-killed by Shooting Soaring Cloud!
Under the state of Soul Sacrifice, Ling Chen's attack power was incomparably terrifying. But even if Shooting Soaring Cloud triggered Explosion under this state, it would still be impossible to deal over ten thousand damage … Because the damage that instantly killed the sword page boy just now was black!
In the effect of Shooting Soaring Cloud, that 1% chance of triggering instant death!
To Ling Chen, this was undoubtedly an unexpected huge surprise. The original three enemies suddenly became two. Although it was only one less, the pressure on him decreased by several times. Originally, if he was stuck in the middle, he wouldn't be able to dodge. But now, the sword page boy's direction gave him ample space to move.
After the sword page boy fell, the spear page boy and the Undead Zephyr Bird had already rushed over. Ling Chen didn't pay attention to them and used his fastest speed to run straight to Soaring Cloud and pull it out from the bridge. In the current situation, using Soaring Cloud was very dangerous because if the landing point wasn't controlled well, Soaring Cloud would fall into the abyss below. Without Soaring Cloud, it was the same as losing an arm and his strength would definitely be greatly reduced.
