Chapter 168: Giant's labyrinth
Chu Xinghe, Luo Xianglong, and Ye Tianlang were all stunned.
What is happening? This bastard is cheating!
Otherwise how could this be happening!
"Weren't you all arrogant before? Why don't you come out of the cage now!" Nangong Yun made a face at the three of them and had a completely provoking appearance as she faced them.
Yun Xiao felt a little nervous, "Let them play with the cages! Let's leave quickly!"
If the cages were destroyed by them, then they would be facing a tragedy!
The three of them had very high cultivation bases, but the cages were strong enough to trap them for a while. So it did not leave them with much time and they should leave as soon as possible.
"Why so anxious?" Chu Tian's eyes flashed with a cunning glow as he revealed a bad smile, "If we all leave, wouldn't they feel lonely? We might as well find some friends to play with them!"
No one could understand what he said. What did this mean?
Where would he find some friends!
"It's them!" Chu Tian used his finger to point at the giant statues slowly being released from their seals, "We'll work together to attack this fellow and help him release his seal quicker!"
So he meant this.
They didn't know whether to laugh or cry at how bad he was! But since these guys acted so arrogantly, this was the punishment they deserved!
"Go!"
Yun Yao took out the Thunder Spirit Bead and the precious gem was covered in lightning. Countless snakes made of lightning lashed out, wildly bombarding the sealed stone giant. They could see countless pieces of stone falling from the giant's body.
The other six people did not hesitate to release their own attacks at another stone giant. When the attacks hit the stone giant, the rocks on its body began to fall off faster and its seal was clearly being released faster.
"They're about to awaken!"
"Run!"
The stone giants were existences at the peak of the Illustrious Soul Realm, their might was even close to the True Soul Realm.
In other words.
A single strike from the stone giant was as destructive as one from Yun Tianhe or Chen Bingyu!
It was enough to easily exterminate them, so why would they stay? After they had attacked the stone giant and accelerated the rate at which its seal was being released, the seven of them quickly ran off toward a corridor!
"Damn!"
Luo Xianglong was filled with a desire to kill as he angrily roared into the sky!
Ye Tianlang was so angry that he spat out blood. That fellow actually ran away again!
At this moment, a terrifying aura exploded forth and those two stone giants that had been attacked slowly stood up. An intense killing intent filled the air and a low roar rang out through the entire space!
Countless pieces of broken stones shot out from its body and landed on the floor like rain. This scene looked just like a landslide!
This is bad!
The two giants had awakened!
The two giants were over fifty meters tall and humans were no bigger than their large toe. There was no difference between humans and bugs to them!
After the seal had been removed from the two giants' bodies, incomparably thick armour was revealed that released a metallic glow. Those giant bodies were covered completely in iron like a can and all that was revealed were two blue glowing eyes.
"Trespassing on this forbidden ground!"
"Death!"
Their terrifying voices strongly rang out.
Even with Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang's cultivation bases, it stirred their blood and qi. The might of these giants was too terrifying!
While the two giants were shouting, they came out of the wall, gripping a two handed axe. Raising the ax high into the sky, a hurricane brewed around the ax blade and it slashed down at the three cages.
Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang's faces fell.
If this ax were allowed to fall, then they would be smashed to a pulp with the cages!
After all, this was an attack close to the True Soul Realm. Even if the Four Young Masters had terrifying talents, how could the block this attack?
At the most crucial moment!
"Sword intent turning into a dragon!"
"Break!"
Chu Xinghe gave a loud roar and the treasure sword in his hand turned into a wild golden flood dragon. It spun at high speeds around the cage and carved a hole in the cage itself.
"Go!"
Chu Xinghe directed his sword art with both hands.
The treasure sword began to turn in the air. It split into two different swords, then splitting into four different swords, then four swords turning into eight swords, and finally there were sixteen shining swords in the sky!
The sword intent soaring into the sky seemed to shake the heaven and earth.
Ye Tianlang and Luo Jinshi revealed shocked expressions, "Is this the «Imperial Sword Art»?"
The treasured sword turned into streaks of golden light, quickly surrounding the giants. When the giants raised their axes to defend themselves, the peerless might had already launched a strike.
"Cut!"
Chu Xinghe's hands gathered together.
The golden treasure sword bloomed with light, transforming into extremely sharp sword glows. Two treasure swords slashed the giants' ankles, severing their achilles tendons.
Several treasure sword charged out, turning into a single beam of golden light that slammed into a giant's chest.
Peng!
A terrifying explosion.
The giant that had been hit with Chu Xinghe's sword had been pierced through!
Those giants had incredible defenses and a higher cultivation base compared to Chu Xinghe, but even under this situation, Chu Xinghe still pierced through them.
It could be clearly seen just how strong he was!
The giant's body bent.
As if it were about to fall.
The giant ax also fell, falling right beside the three cages. The fierce shockwave hit the cages and weakened the barrier surrounding them.
This was a good chance!
Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang attacked the cages at the same time.
The cage could not handle this strength and was exploded to pieces!
"Kill!"
Luo Xianglong stomped on the ground and his golden hair began to stand up, just like a wild beast. Golden spirit energy surrounded his body and formed the figure of a giant beast.
This beast was half dragon and half tiger with a long and narrow body. It was covered in dragon scales, but it had a wild tiger's head as well as four tiger claws. It was like a union between a dragon and tiger with a terrifying might.
"Lion Tiger Double Phase!"
Luo Xianglong jumped with one hand in the shape of a lion head and the other in the shape of a tiger head. He was like a wild storm as he attacked the giant, going from his belly to his chest and finally from his chest to his head. In just a few seconds, he had actually sent out over a hundred punches.
Each fist caused a dent in the giant's thick iron armour!
Luo Xianglong was like a dragon ascending to the heavens as he charged dozens of meters into the sky. Then he was like a bomb as he fell heavily, landing right on the giant's head.
"Dragon Tiger Fall!"
A shockwave was sent out and then the sound of an explosion was heard. The giant suddenly kneeled down and crushed the floor. It could be seen just how strong this one attack was.
"Monster Wolf Transformation!"
"Enter my body!"
"Monstrous Wolf's Raid!"
Ye Tianlang turned into several evil wolves that all charged out at the giant. Finally they launched a single attack that pushed the giant's heavy body back two steps.
The two giants shook their heads and slowly stood up.
The cut achilles tendons had already healed. The armours dented by Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang slowly returned to their original state.
Only the wound from being pierced by Chu Xinghe could not be healed that quickly!
Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong were shocked.
These giants were too strong!
Even with their strength, it was impossible to defeat a single one of them. In the crossroads, there were over one hundred giants and if they were to all awaken, then it would be a disaster!
"Trespassing on forbidden ground!"
"Death!"
The two giants once again brandished their giant axes and slashed out with a heaven shattering attack. Before the attack even connected, a terrifying oppressive pressure filled the air making it impossible for them to dodge.
A faint light sparkled in Chu Xinghe's eyes.
His hands directed his sword art.
The sixteen golden treasure swords soaring in the sky once again turned into golden streaks, once again surrounding the giants' feet. The edge of the blades were cutting the giants' leg muscles as they moved up.
The two giants immediately lost their balance.
Another sword quickly flew out and cut one of the giants' wrists.
While the giant was losing his balance, the ax also fell from his grip and slammed into the giant beside him.
Hong, hong!
This one attack's might was too strong!
The three young masters were sent back several meters just by the wind coming from it!
That giant's chest that was hit exploded and the light coming from its eyes slowly disappeared. Finally its skin turned back to stone and it became a giant statue once again.
When the giant pulled his ax from its comrade's chest, this giant that had turned back into a statue turned into a giant pile of rocks.
"You have killed a giant puppet! You have awarded five trial points! You currently have ten trial points!"
A voice sounded out in Chu Xinghe's mind.
Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong revealed shocked expressions.
He really was Chu Xinghe. The giants were so strong, but it was a puppet so it was not perfect and they had very slow movements. It was impossible for the three of them to defeat a giant, but Chu Xinghe had used an indirect method to make a giant attack another giant.
Using the giant's strength to eliminate another giant!
Of course, this seemed very easy, but it was actually very hard to achieve!
The sword art Chu Xinghe displayed was not the Chu Family's «Soul Sword Secret Art», but rather it was his ancient inherited «Imperial Sword Art»!
What was the Imperial Sword Art?
It was a sword with imperial intent!
Killing an enemy from over a thousand li away!
This was an ancient and powerful sword art. The sword was controlled by Chu Xinghe like his arm, allowing him to be very flexible in controlling his attacks!
"There's still one left! Let's take care of him!"
"As long as we exterminate this roadblock, we can chase after them and chop them into pieces!"
Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang hated Chu Tian to the depths of their bones.
With the giant blocking them, the two of them did not dare to pass.
Chu Xinghe knit his brows and said, "With just our strength, would it be easy for us to defeat this being? We shouldn't waste too much spirit energy here and go on another path!"
Ye Tianlang was very unwilling as he angrily shouted, "We're going to let them go?"
Chu Xinghe coldly said, "Since we are in the giant's labyrinth, we will eventually run into them. If the other giants awaken, then we need to run if we don't want to be eliminated!"
Actually Chu Xinghe did not think that with just their power, they could survive in this trial space.
Putting himself in danger just to chase down those pieces of garbage was not sane behaviour.
There were several hundred giants all around them!
If the giants were to awaken, then it would be ten times harder for them to escape!
What could they do even if they passed the giant in front of them?
This giant would definitely chase after them and with Chu Tian's cunning, it was hard to guarantee that he would not awaken a few giants along the way. Once they got attacked from both sides, the three of them would be trapped. Then once the other giants awoke, the three of them would be completely eliminated!
"Alright! Let's go!"
Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang were not ordinary people.
Although they were very unwilling, they would not lose themselves because of anger. The three of them turned and charged forward in the other direction. The corridor was very long and with giants awakening around them and some even having different awakening times, some could awaken early and be a serious threat to them.
Chu Xinghe looked to the side and discovered something.
A treasure sword soared out to the dead giant's remains and pulled out a few things.
A map!
A key!
Chu Xinghe opened the map which had completely marked all the areas of the giant's labyrinth. But there was some ancient writing on it that Chu Xinghe could not understand.
But with this map, it would be much easier!
The three of them did not stay and rushed off in the opposite direction.
Too bad!
This was the true meaning behind the trial space!
When the participants entered the trial space, it would be impossible to face the giants that were at the True Soul Realm. Even if their cultivation bases reached the True Soul Realm, it would be hard to wipe out all the giants.
The giants' bodies were too big, so it was hard to release a fatal attack. As well, the giants had a self recovering ability and as long as a single strike could not kill a giant, it would quickly heal itself.
Surviving in this environment was too difficult!
Right now the trial was still in the lowest difficulty.
After the trial space was opened, it would constantly change and grow worse as time passed. In the end, more giants and monsters would awaken, as well as more traps being laid. The monsters in the trial space would slowly become stronger as more time passed.
In the end.
The giants' strength might surpass the True Soul Realm and they would no longer move this slowly, rather they would move like they were flying. They would have more and more moves as well as peerless extinguished skills that people would not be able to defend against!
In addition to the giants that would be ten times stronger, the environment of the space would slowly deteriorate until the trial could no longer continue!
