Chapter 298 New Challenger
In the bustling city, Zhang Yang faced the young man holding a sword and with cold eyes. He had no way to avoid him and had to try to reduce the impending impact.
Seeing Zhang Yang approaching quickly, Taotie instantly turned sideways, trying to divert the sword away from his head. At the same time, his huge palm slapped Zhang Yang fiercely, both counterattacking and resisting the sword.
How could Zhang Yang let him go so easily? He turned his wrist and stabbed the tip of his sword straight at Taotie. However, Taotie blocked with his claws and prepared to attack.
"I'm going to cut off your claws!" Zhang Yang stared at Taotie with icy eyes.
"Boy, you'd better not talk nonsense." Taotie's rough voice echoed in the air.
Whether it was just a boast or not, we will know in a moment, Zhang Yang thought, and then he grasped the sword and slashed at the open claws of Taotie.
Taotie took the sword and clearly felt a stronger impact than before. The force increased several times, and the murderous aura emanating from Zhang Yang also made him feel pressured.
Despite the obstruction, Taotie had no intention of stopping. Seeing the sword about to fall, he quickly raised his other paw to defend himself.
Using its claws to block the attack, Taotie's body fell completely to the ground.
"Taotie, your doomsday has come!" Zhang Yang sneered, his words like a foreshadowing of death.
Just as Taotie was about to respond, Zhang Yang had already freed his other hand to tightly grasp the thorny whip. The whip was surrounded by a powerful aura, and its attack power increased dozens of times.
At this moment, Zhang Yang held a sword in one hand and a whip in the other, confronting Taotie's claws. While Taotie was shocked, he whipped him quickly.
The whip was filled with surging Qi, doubling its power. Whether it was the sword or the whip, as long as he could hit the Taotie, he would almost certainly win.
Taotie was thrown away in an instant, stayed in the air for a short time, and fell heavily to the ground. With a loud bang, a large hole was smashed into the ground, and even cracked, stirring up dust and blurring the vision.
The Taotie lying on the ground was gasping for breath, and his heavy breathing showed that he was seriously injured.
Zhang Yang walked through the dust and came to Taotie. Taotie was barely standing, and Zhang Yang's sword was pointed directly at his forehead.
"Now you understand, you lost this duel." Zhang Yang said coldly. If Taotie still refused to admit defeat, he would not mind making him unable to stand up again.
"I admit that I lost. You have passed my test." Taotie looked at Zhang Yang, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
It has been a long time since I saw someone who defeated him so easily. The last one was the man who called himself Xuanyuan.
"Please tell me where the next tester is." Zhang Yang put away his sword and asked calmly.
"This is the easternmost part, you should have defeated the Qiongqi in the southernmost part." Taotie looked at Zhang Yang and said.
"Yes, I have defeated Qiongqi. But how did you know?" Zhang Yang asked puzzledly, wondering how Taotie knew about Qiongqi's defeat.
"The four of us are the guardians of this continent and we are connected in mind. As long as you defeat the four of us in succession, we will join forces and use the power of all four to open the passage to the next level for you." Taotie explained patiently.
"Why are you scattered in the four directions of east, south, west and north, so far apart? How do you open the door to the next level?" Zhang Yang asked.
"A formation has been formed here since its birth. To pass the next level, the four of us guardians must exert force at the four corners of southeast, northwest, and northeast at the same time to break this formation. However, the door is open for a limited time, and the formation will automatically start when the time exceeds the limit. We call it the 'Four Symbols Formation'."
"Four Elephants Formation? Is this the key?" Zhang Yang muttered to himself, turning to Taotie and said, "In other words, after defeating the four of you, you will naturally receive the message and open the door to clearance for me?"
"That's right." Taotie replied.
Taotie is usually taciturn, and even if someone challenges him, he only speaks a few words. He is so talkative today, perhaps because he sees the shadow of Xuanyuan in Zhang Yang. He believes that the young man named Zhang Yang in front of him will definitely be able to complete the inheritance path and bring shock to this land.
"Then I just need to go to the west and the north and defeat the other two guardians, right?" Zhang Yang asked.
"That's true. However, the Chaos in the North does not distinguish between good and evil and is extremely cruel. Unless you make him completely unable to resist, he will not admit defeat." Taotie reminded kindly.
"Thank you, I will be careful. Goodbye." Zhang Yang bowed to express his gratitude and turned to leave.
"Zhang Yang, I'm looking forward to seeing how much you will grow." After Zhang Yang walked away, Taotie whispered, then returned to the foot of the mountain, closed his eyes and continued to rest.
"Taotie was defeated so quickly?" Qiongqi, the easternmost one, sensed the movement and said to himself. It seemed that the challenger this time was extremely powerful.
After listening to Taotie's words, he wanted to see Chaos. People who only use brute force can best test the results of his practice. After Zhang Yang left Taotie, he headed straight north.
This strange land has only daylight and no night. Since Zhang Yang found the treasures in the cave, he has never seen the night. From the east to the south, according to common sense, at least several months have passed.
I really don’t know how Huashe calculated the time. He was able to figure out that he had absorbed three years of natural treasures.
Zhang Yang continued on his way, taking a short break when he was tired and then continued on his way. In this land, there was no need to eat or sleep, and any discomfort could be recovered with just a short rest, just like the blood recovery mechanism in the game. Zhang Yang fought all the way here and continued to improve...
In the bustling city, Zhang Liang keenly noticed the change in the environment. The temperature dropped suddenly, and the exposed ground between the high-rise buildings was frozen as hard as stone. The sparse bushes were also covered with frost and snow, making it look bleak and cold.
Zhang Liang realized this and immediately activated his inner strength to protect his body. Although his body was immune to the cold, the discomfort he felt could not be ignored. He had just activated his inner strength and had not taken a few steps when he felt a hidden murderous aura approaching.
He stopped and looked around vigilantly. Although he saw nothing unusual, he could not be mistaken for the strong murderous intent. Since the other party was unwilling to show up, he could only force him to show up. Zhang Liang closed his eyes and began to concentrate his internal strength.
A pure white light shone from his forehead and gradually spread throughout his body. The enemies who were watching from the dark saw that he had his eyes closed and thought that they had an opportunity to attack him, so they all got ready to pounce on him.
A few people who couldn't bear it anymore had already started to fight, but although Zhang Liang had his eyes closed, he sensed everything. He opened his eyes and released his concentrated internal force, knocking away those reckless opponents.
The first few monsters that were hit fell to the ground, and the other beasts lurking in the dark seemed to be provoked. They jumped out of their hiding places one after another, some jumped out from the bushes, and some broke out directly from the frozen soil.
These beasts are similar in appearance and are obviously from the same tribe. They look like cows, but their fur is blue-black, they have an ivory-like horn on their heads, raised bone armor on their backs, and short, strong and powerful limbs.
They appeared in groups, and Zhang Liang concluded that they were not the gatekeepers, but some minor characters. "It seems that they are just some minions." He muttered helplessly.
"You ignorant boy, how dare you insult our Si monster clan!" The leading Si monster obviously heard Zhang Liang's ridicule and immediately fought back.
It pounced on Zhang Liang, who dodged it easily. "Are you called Si monsters? Looks like I'll have to change your name to dead monsters today!" He said, gathering a large amount of internal energy in his palms, and with a little force, pushed towards the Si monsters.
A large number of Si monsters were knocked to the ground by the impact of the internal force, but a few still resisted and struggled to stand up. "You don't know how to live or die!" Zhang Liang pulled out his long whip and whipped those Si monsters that were still able to stand one by one.
All the Si monsters fell down, Zhang Liang put away his whip and continued to move forward. He did not kill them, but temporarily restrained their movements to prevent them from following and harassing him, just as a warm-up.
As he walked, Zhang Liang found that the temperature was getting lower and frost and snow covered almost every corner. The Chaos Beast should be nearby.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Liang heard a few strange roars, which sounded like a smile but not a smile, and it was difficult to tell the emotions. The sound was getting closer and closer, and soon appeared in front of Zhang Liang. He looked at the huge beast that looked like a dog and a bear. This was undoubtedly Hun Dun.
Hun Dun was fat and fiery red, with no facial features on his short, thick neck. "You are the gatekeeper Hun Dun, right?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Yes, it's me. Are you the new challenger?" Chaos twisted his body and replied.
"Well, my name is Zhang Liang." Zhang Liang replied.
"It doesn't matter what your name is." Chaos didn't care about insignificant people.
"Then let's get started." Zhang Liang didn't want to waste any more words with Hun Dun.
"You don't know what life and death are." Hun Dun saw that Zhang Liang looked down on him and thought that this young man was too confident.
In fact, Hun Dun received the signal from Qiongqi and Taotie at the beginning, but he did not take it seriously, thinking that the failure of Qiongqi and Taotie was their own problem, not Zhang Liang's strength. Qiongqi and Taotie were also weak at ordinary times.
Hun Dun did not take Zhang Liang seriously as his opponent and only wanted to teach him a lesson. As he slowly walked towards Zhang Liang, the grass turned to dry grass wherever he passed.
Zhang Liang noticed this change and immediately became alert, waiting for Hun Dun's next move.
Hun Dun leaned forward, ready to attack Zhang Liang at any time. Zhang Liang decided to take the initiative and rushed towards Hun Dun with his sword. At first, he just stabbed Hun Dun tentatively, wanting to see Hun Dun's skills and find his weaknesses or strengths.
Hun Dun looked at Zhang Liang waving his broken sword and rushed over, wagging his tail proudly, preparing for the next move. Zhang Liang approached Hun Dun, and Hun Dun suddenly raised his butt and pounced on Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang was startled, and quickly steadied himself, dodged to the side, and stabbed at Hun Dun with his sword. Hun Dun realized that he had missed, and was about to turn around, but found that Zhang Liang's sword was stabbing at him.
Hun Dun quickly turned his body slightly to avoid the sword. After landing, he was angry because he missed the attack and blamed Zhang Liang for dodging the attack. Hun Dun was so overbearing and unreasonable.
Zhang Liang found that Hun Dun's body was very flexible during his first attempt. After injecting his internal energy, he began to plan his next step. Hun Dun was angry at Zhang Liang's evasion and sword, and rushed towards Zhang Liang again.
Hun Dun's jumping ability was very strong, and Zhang Liang's sword was ready to strike before Hun Dun approached him. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, no longer actively attacking, but just waiting for Hun Dun's action.
Seeing that Zhang Liang did not move, Hun Dun thought that he was frightened and stupid, and he was so proud that he forgot about dodging the sword just now. Zhang Liang looked at Hun Dun's changes and felt that it was indeed a brainless creature that only knew how to use brute force.
I only need to stay still to lure it into the trap. This guy's IQ is really simple. Hun Dun raised his butt and pounced on Zhang Liang again, thinking that Zhang Liang could not dodge this time.
Who knew that when Hun Dun approached, Zhang Liang raised his sword and retreated. Hun Dun saw him stabbing with his sword again, and turned his body to the right, but was scratched by Zhang Liang...
