588: Chapter 588 The Room You Can't Leave

"Hey, you! Stop pretending you can't hear me!"

Long Tianxing parried an enemy with his sword, performed a sword flourish, and stepped back a few paces.

"Noise, noise, noise! Can't you see I'm busy right now?!"

A giant demon python burst from the ground, intending to swallow Long Tianxing in one gulp, but Long Tianxing seized the opportunity and jumped right in.

"Charge for me."

As the words fell, the demon python that had intended to devour Long Tianxing paused, its eyes gradually dimming, and it turned to charge recklessly toward the base.

"This big snake's Physical Body isn't weak, but its Divine Sense is lacking. It makes for a decent helper."

Coiled inside the snake's belly, he could finally catch his breath.

Ever since Xuanyuan Qingyao was severely injured and Zhou Yan fell into a coma, the coalition forces had lost their decisive combat power and could only rely on Nascent Soul cultivators like them to hold the line.

Being on the front lines, he naturally bore the heaviest burden. From the start of the battle until now, dragging his weakened Physical Body, he had already slain three Nascent Soul Stage clones and countless clones below the Nascent Soul level.

He was indeed feeling stretched thin, but fortunately, this big snake had arrived, giving him a place to rest for a moment.

"Kid, you can hear me now, right?"

Hearing the voice from within his body once again, Long Tianxing frowned, his eyes flashing with three parts confusion, two parts cold indifference, and four parts caution.

This guy always demanded a price for initiating communication. If Initial Flood Dragon was contacting him at a time like this, it either had a brain disease or it really had something to say.

"I'll only give you half a cup of tea's time."

Long Tianxing leaned against the stomach wall of the demon python and began to regulate his breath.

Half a cup of tea was just enough time for him to rest. According to his calculations, unless he encountered some trouble, this amount of time was enough to charge to the main gate.

Initial Flood Dragon first emitted a low sound, seemingly organizing its thoughts. It opened its mouth a few times, but in the end, it couldn't bring itself to speak.

"You have three minutes left."

"Wait, how is time passing so fast? Did you count too many?!"

Hearing that only half the time remained, Initial Flood Dragon panicked. At this moment, it couldn't bother to think and just blurted everything out.

"You can't break in with your strength alone. No matter how much Luck you have, you can't contend with a tangible gap in power."

"But I can help you. As long as you are willing to swear a Heavenly Dao oath and agree to two conditions, I can lend you my power immediately."

"I refuse," Long Tianxing replied indifferently.

"Very well, now we... What?"

Initial Flood Dragon seemed not to have expected Long Tianxing to say that. It subconsciously wanted to continue stating its demands, but when it came to its senses, it realized the other party had actually refused.

"What are you thinking? You're still joking at a time like this? You can't possibly intend to go deal with that guy, right?"

The corners of Long Tianxing's mouth curled up slightly.

"Good Luck can't contend with a power gap because they are mortals. But I am different, because I am Long Tianxing, and I am extraordinary."

Inside Long Tianxing's body, Initial Flood Dragon's face was practically scrunched up like a chrysanthemum.

"You are... uh, you're a complete idiot, aren't you?!"

"Did you get injured so badly that your internal organs got knocked out of place, causing them to connect directly to your brain?"

While beating against the surrounding rock walls, Initial Flood Dragon cursed angrily. It was clear that it had learned modern slang quite well.

Long Tianxing did not get angry at Initial Flood Dragon's cursing. He simply stood up inside the demon python's belly. As he turned and sheathed his sword, a square opening was cut into the giant python's stomach wall.

Long Tianxing jumped through the opening; sure enough, he had reached his destination.

"The stupid one is you."

"Since you clearly said you have a way to help me solve this trouble, that proves you still have an ace up your sleeve."

"Since you have a way to solve it, you wouldn't watch me die with you, would you? When the time comes, if you don't want to die, you'll naturally step in. Why should I sign any contract with you?"

"You, you, you!"

Initial Flood Dragon originally thought Long Tianxing was being stupid, but now it realized this little brat was purely evil!

Long Tianxing wasn't done yet. Taking advantage of Initial Flood Dragon being speechless, he twisted the knife further.

"Besides, how do you know that you jumping out to remind me wasn't part of my Luck?"

"Originally, it was a bit risky for me to charge in alone, and I wanted to wait for Zhou Yan to provide support. But now..." Long Tianxing revealed a devilish smile.

"Now, I can only thank you for the reminder."

"Water Crane!"

Long Tianxing swung his long sword, and a crane made of water flapped its wings and flew, diving straight toward the wall made of special metal.

As the water element eroded it, the water crane grew larger and larger, and the wall gradually weakened, losing its magical reinforcement.

Long Tianxing didn't look back; he just snapped his fingers and then kicked a large hole in the wall.

Following Long Tianxing's action, several large floodlights appeared out of thin air and shone toward the rear, momentarily blinding the clones that had intended to surround Long Tianxing, rendering their Divine Sense ineffective as well.

Long Tianxing took advantage of this opportunity and charged straight into the base.

On the other side of the base, Zhou Yan and Xiao Sheng had also followed Wang Yao's tracks into the base.

Looking at the scorch marks all along the way, Xiao Sheng looked very annoyed.

"What kind of crappy sword is this? When others wave it around, it crackles with electricity, but when I try, no matter how hard I try, it doesn't even pay attention to me."

Looking at the residual traces of the celestial master sword, Zhou Yan didn't waste them; he pried off every piece, as these would be useful later for comprehending the Law of Lightning.

However, Zhou Yan had the same question: why was Wang Yao so skilled with the celestial master sword when he wasn't an Immortal Reincarnation?

He didn't even have any connection to the Dao Sect.

"Wasn't that sword bound to you? How did Wang Yao snatch it again? Last time in Kaifeng, we could call it an accident, but what is this time?"

Xiao Sheng was scratching his head in frustration.

"I don't know?"

"Kids in front of the TV, do you know?"

"A. flying boat, B. A person's 24th eyelash, C..."

"Slap!"

"Stop with the C's, wake up!"

Zhou Yan slapped the back of Xiao Sheng's head, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me?"

Zhou Yan looked at Xiao Sheng, feeling that he was hopeless, and pointed at the surroundings.

Where was the dilapidated appearance from before? Without realizing it, they had arrived in a strange, pure red space.

"What is this place?"

Xiao Sheng clutched his head, looking completely confused.

Zhou Yan also looked distressed.

Heaven was really putting in effort; was it still trying to block him?

"Just now, I asked you where the sword went again, but you didn't answer me and turned to walk into a room. I was just about to pull you back when a spatial fluctuation brought us here."

"And as soon as you arrived, you started attacking me, all while saying things that didn't make any sense."

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng was shocked. Seeing Zhou Yan covered in blood, he couldn't help but cover his mouth.

"Th-th-this, did I do this?"

"Old Zhou, I..."

Before Xiao Sheng could finish, Zhou Yan cast a cleaning Spell and looked at Xiao Sheng as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Forget it. If you could beat me like this, you could suppress this place all by yourself."

Listening to Zhou Yan's teasing, Xiao Sheng also recalled the process of Zhou Yan bringing him in.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators could be killed with a casual wave of the hand; it seemed it really wasn't something he could do.

"Then whose blood is on you?"

Zhou Yan suddenly froze. He really didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't exactly say that when he was trying to slap Xiao Sheng awake, he accidentally beat Xiao Sheng into 'Xiao Dirt' and then used the Law of Creation to instantly heal his body, which caused blood to splatter all over him, right?

"Ahem, it's been dry lately, I have a bit of bleeding gums."

"Oh, so it's bleeding gums."

Xiao Sheng didn't ponder the truth of this statement; his brain was still a bit foggy.

Relieved, Zhou Yan hurriedly changed the subject and pointed to the wall, saying.

"Look there, there are words on it."

Xiao Sheng didn't have time to think about the previous question and looked at the wall.

It was written on it: [Combat Test Room 5].

"Only one of you can leave. Now, please begin to kill each other. Determine the final victor, and the door will open automatically. Otherwise, under the constraints of the Law, you will never be able to leave."
