Chapter 468
"Mother, wait for us outside the tower. Master Jiang, let's go. We might be able to catch up with them! "
Gu Chen told Shen Yushu to find a safe place to hide, then entered the Underworld God Tower with Jiang Buzhuo.
The Underworld God Tower had eighteen floors. As soon as they entered the first floor, Gu Chen and Yang Zhen saw traces of the restrictions being broken.
"These two girls are not weak, especially the one with the sword. Every sword strike just happened to break the restriction's formation core. They are not simple."
Jiang Buzhuo gave his evaluation after a few glances.
Gu Chen knew that Yang Zhen didn't use a sword, so it could only be Ye Qingshuang.
Although Ye Qingshuang didn't know about formations, she had the Martial Sage Body and had outstanding combat comprehension. She was good at finding flaws.
He didn't say anything and hurried up to the second floor.
"The restrictions on the second floor are more complicated than the first. They are very interesting. Some of the formation patterns are unheard of."
Jiang Buzhuo seemed to have found a treasure. If not for the urgency of the situation, he would have stopped and taken all the restrictions with him.
Although the restrictions here were not strong, some of the techniques were clearly unique and unseen in the Kunlun Continent.
Gu Chen didn't say anything and continued to go up a few more floors.
The higher they went, the more complicated and powerful the restrictions in the Underworld God Tower became. Strands of black Qi started to seep out of the walls of the tower, forming a faint black fog.
"This is Underworld Demon Qi. Master Jiang, you have to be careful."
The black Qi was cold and vicious. It could invade one's body and damage one's internal organs. Gu Chen recognized that it was the same source as the Underworld Demon Qi that Underworld Guard Jia Lan cultivated. He couldn't help but warn Jiang Buzhuo.
"Yes. The power of the fifth floor's restrictions has increased greatly. Based on the traces of damage, the two girls are having a hard time breaking the formation. We have to catch up quickly. Otherwise, their lives will be in danger!"
Jiang Buzhuo said solemnly as he checked the remaining restrictions.
…
On the eighth floor of the Underworld God Tower, Ye Qingshuang and Yang Zhen were back to back. They were surrounded by a group of three-headed, six-armed demons.
"Qingshuang, these Underworld Demons are between real and illusory. They can't be hurt by swords or physical techniques. We can't break through at all. If this goes on, I'm afraid we'll die for sure! "
Yang Zhen's expression was a little flustered, and her words revealed a bit of ridicule towards Ye Qingshuang.
If it wasn't for Ye Qingshuang's insistence on challenging the tower, and if it wasn't for the fact that she was obsessed with making a great contribution, she wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation!
"I'm sorry, Sister Yang. I'll try my best to lure them away later. You should take this opportunity to escape!"
Ye Qingshuang held the long sword and breathed heavily.
"What are you talking about? How could I abandon you?" Yang Zhen frowned.
"I was the one who insisted on entering even though I knew that this tower was filled with dangers. I was the one who dragged you down."
Ye Qingshuang kept swinging her sword, repelling the Nether Demons that tried to approach.
"Moreover, if Madam Gu really comes with reinforcements, someone must go to meet them and inform them of the situation here. Sister Yang, don't shirk it anymore! "
After saying that, Ye Qingshuang's eyes turned cold, and the sword light in her hand suddenly changed!
Clang!
She forcibly tore open a gap in the encirclement of the Nether Demons, and then flew over!
At that moment, the Nether Demons howled and chased after her!
There was a gap in front of Yang Zhen, and there were only five or six Nether Demons guarding the stairs leading to the seventh level.
Her eyes showed that she was struggling. If she left, Ye Qingshuang would be alone and without help, and she would definitely die.
But if they didn't leave, they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer, and they would still die here!
"Qingshuang is right. If reinforcements come, someone needs to lead the way for them."
Yang Zhen gritted her teeth. Her desire to survive finally won over the short friendship she had with Ye Qingshuang. She flew down the stairs!
"Goodbye, Qingshuang. You must live!"
As Yang Zhen left, Ye Qingshuang faced the Nether Demons alone, and she was in even more danger.
The Nether Demons' bodies were in the form of smoke, and normal sword techniques couldn't do much damage to them. If Ye Qingshuang hadn't cultivated Sword Intent, and used it to attack the souls of these Nether Demons, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
But now, she was alone, and there were more than six to seven hundred Nether Demons around her. She couldn't help but feel despair.
"Looks like it's hard to escape this time."
Ye Qingshuang waved her sword with all her strength, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
She didn't expect that she would die alone in such a dark place, and that no one would remember and miss her.
But she didn't regret it. The time she spent with Shen Yu Shu was much better than when she was in True Martial Academy.
All she could do was try to kill as many Nether Demons as possible, and reduce the obstacles for those who came later.
That way, they might be able to realize Shen Yu Shu's plan.
"Die, bastard!"
Thinking of this, Ye Qingshuang's face was full of heroic spirit, and she waved her sword to kill the enemy!
"Qingshuang, you must live, you must live!"
Yang Zhen ran to the seventh level, but the further she ran, the deeper the guilt in her heart became. In the end, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She could imagine what would happen to Ye Qingshuang if she was alone, but for her own safety, she abandoned her in the end.
Thinking of how she blamed Ye Qingshuang for trying to be brave, she felt even more tormented, and wanted to turn around and save her several times.
But when she thought that those Nether Demons couldn't be defeated, the timidity in her heart overcame that impulse.
"I'm sorry!"
Yang Zhen's eyes were red, and she ran down the stairs crazily. Only by leaving this tower as soon as possible could she reduce the guilt in her heart.
She ran in a panic, and didn't even notice who was in front of her. Suddenly, she bumped into someone!
"Aiya, why are you so rash, little girl?"
An old man with a brandy nose complained.
"Who are you?" Yang Zhen's expression changed greatly, thinking that the other party was an assassin from Nether God Palace.
"Yang Zhen!"
Before she could react, she heard someone call her from the side, and she couldn't help but look over.
With this look, her expression shook greatly, and she wept tears of joy.
"Gu Daozi, quick, go save Qingshuang! Any later, and it'll be too late! "
…
Ye Qingshuang's physical strength gradually reached its limit. She felt cold all over, and her thoughts became slow and sluggish.
After the surrounding Nether Demons were killed by her, they turned into Nether Demon energy, and strands of it entered her body.
Originally, she was still able to defend herself, but as her physical strength was gradually exhausted, they finally took advantage of her.
Following the invasion of the cold and vicious Nether Demon energy, her internal organs seemed to freeze, and the blood in her body was about to freeze into ice.
She only used the last bit of stubbornness in her heart to wave her sword, trying to kill the surrounding demons.
