Chapter 172 The Great Array of Ten Thousand Swords' Life and Death
On the second level of the Trial Tower, Xiao Chong, with bruises and swelling around his eyes, was desperately trying to fend off the attacks of the last two groups of iron men.
These last two groups are different from the previous ones; they are not activated in pairs, but rather all four Iron Men are activated simultaneously.
Normally, the Iron Men's attack speed and power increase as the game progresses. Now, with all four Iron Men attacking together, their momentum is like a storm, with their dense punches and kicks moving so fast that they are almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
Fortunately, after training with the previous seven groups of Iron Men, Xiao Chong has gradually adapted to this high-intensity attack.
Of course, the so-called adaptation does not mean that his movements can keep up with the changes in Iron Man's punches and kicks, but that his body has become stronger and stronger, and he can barely endure being hit by Iron Man.
With the instincts he had developed over the past few days, Xiao Chong could withstand six or seven out of ten of Iron Man's attacks, while the rest landed squarely on his body.
One punch, two punches...
Xiao Chong dodged left and right, blocking in front and behind...
Once, twice...
Xiao Chong was overwhelmed and kept getting thrown around...
One day, two days...
Xiao Chong frowned, his teeth clenched, and with immense willpower and courage, he pressed forward relentlessly, without looking back...
When thirsty, I would drink a couple of sips of the cold water I brought with me.
When hungry, I would chew on a few bites of the dry food I brought with me.
When you get tired, stop and replenish your energy cards.
When I get sleepy, I take a nap next to the Iron Man formation.
Once awake, he threw himself back into the fight against the Iron Man formation.
Xiao Chong has decided to fight the remaining four iron men to the bitter end; he vows not to leave the tower until this formation is broken!
at last……
When the fourth soft "click" came from the Iron Man's body, the last Iron Man stood still, and the countless fist shadows vanished into thin air.
Xiao Chong was also drained of the last drop of Yuan energy in his body, and he collapsed onto the sweat-soaked ground with a "thud" and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, I had no idea how much time had passed.
My head is still a little dizzy, and my energy hasn't fully recovered yet.
But this is no problem for me. I'm not only a martial artist, but also a third-grade mind master, and I have a Yuan Power card on me. I can just replenish it.
Xiao Chong sat down on the ground, took out a Yuan Power Card to replenish his Yuan Power, and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
An hour later, Xiao Chong stood up, feeling refreshed, energetic, and full of power again. Even the injuries and bruises on his face and head from the Iron Man Formation had disappeared.
We must strike while the iron is hot; if we don't do it in one go, we might not have the courage to come in next time. Recalling the inhuman suffering he had endured these past few days, Xiao Chong secretly made a decision and stepped towards the top floor of the Trial Tower.
The third level is for swordsmanship training, a fact already known from Ma Rulong, but upon entering, Xiao Chong was still awestruck by the sight before him.
The four smooth, mirror-like walls are densely inlaid with all kinds of swords, large and small, long and short.
None of these swords had hilts; originally, one end of the hilt was stuck into the wall, leaving only the blade, which could be long or short, exposed.
The longest was over five feet long and wider than a palm's width; the shortest was no more than two inches long. They were more like daggers than swords.
Without exception, these swords, whether long or short, all radiated a chilling light, and were definitely not wooden training tools.
"hiss!"
Looking at this terrifying sword formation, Xiao Chong gasped, "I really don't know what the grandson who set up this sword formation was thinking. If we make a mistake and can't block it, we'll definitely be torn to pieces by ten thousand swords!"
As Xiao Chong hesitated about whether to continue, he suddenly noticed a wooden sign with words on it standing nearby, and a set of leather armor on one side of the sign.
Walking forward, one sees a wooden sign that reads:
The Ten Thousand Swords Life and Death Formation consists of three layers. The first layer involves single swords firing in rotation; the second layer involves a hundred swords shooting in unison; and the third layer involves ten thousand swords unleashing simultaneously.
On the wall behind the wooden sign, there are three different buttons, labeled with the first to third levels respectively.
"That's more like it. If he had unleashed a barrage of swords right from the start, Ma Rulong would have been a porcupine by now. Would he still have a chance to challenge me?"
Xiao Chong muttered to himself, but his hands were not idle either; he picked up the leather armor.
The leather armor felt extremely light, and I didn't know what kind of animal hide it was made of, but it felt very sturdy.
Xiao Chong tried it out. The leather armor was full-body, and he could even put his head on it. There were only two small holes in the area of his face and eyes, which were just enough to see what was happening inside the tower.
"If we're going to play, let's go all out this time. If we follow the rules step by step with protective gear, we'll inevitably lose focus. How long would it take to learn that way?"
Considering his powerful physique, Xiao Chong took off his leather armor and threw it aside. He then took the Immortal-Slaying Sword that he had brought with him, pressed the first button, and slowly walked to the center of the four walls to stand still.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of cold light appeared, and a short sword shot out from the wall in front of him, heading straight for Xiao Chong's chest.
Xiao Chong remained calm and composed, observing the approaching short sword, and raised his hand to meet it.
"Ding!"
The short sword collided with the Immortal-Slaying Sword, making a crisp sound as it was knocked away. However, the way the sword formation was arranged was unknown; after being knocked away, the short sword did not fall to the ground. Instead, it seemed to be drawn back into its original position by an invisible thread, trembling slightly.
"That's interesting! This design is novel and unique, and the degree of automation is quite high."
Xiao Chong had just uttered a compliment when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him. He slightly turned his body and glanced at the spot, only to see another short sword attacking from behind.
"Ding!"
With a swift swing of the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the short sword was unsurprisingly knocked away and, just like the previous one, stuck back into the wall.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
One sword after another, long or short, flew out from the sword formation and shot towards Xiao Chong at a fixed frequency.
Xiao Chong kept swinging the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, deflecting the swords one by one. By the end, he no longer needed to look with his eyes; he could judge the direction of the sword formation's attacks simply by the sound of the wind.
"That's not quite enough! Let's try the Hundred Swords Barrage to see how powerful it really is."
After training with the Iron Man Formation, Xiao Chong's reaction speed was incredibly fast, so he was naturally no match for this level of attack and activated the button on the second level.
This time the difficulty was indeed much greater. Before he could even stand firm, the sword formation was activated, and more than a hundred swords shot towards him like a sudden rain.
Xiao Chong dared not be careless and focused all his energy on dealing with the situation. After a flurry of frantic swings, the Immortal-Slaying Sword blocked all the swords.
Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the sword formation did not stop, but another group of a hundred swords shot out, blocking one group after another.
Gradually, Xiao Chong's speed began to falter, and he was pierced by several stray swords. Although he was physically strong and avoided vital points, the power of the sword formation was immense, and he still winced in pain.
When the last few sword formations were activated, the speed at which the swords shot out was even faster, and the rain of swords seemed to attack him simultaneously.
Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Xiao Chong was terrified. He rolled on the ground and escaped from the sword formation.
