Leave it to me
Zhuowen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these people. He wasn't Ancestor Lu and didn't need their love or support. His goal was simple: to pass the third checkpoint and obtain the Spacetime Key.
Not long after, Ancestor Lu retreated and glanced at Yao Xiangjun. The latter frowned slightly and nodded. Holding the Spacetime Key, she stepped into the air and rushed towards the gatekeeper.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! The sounds of battle were endless. Yao Xiangjun retreated half an hour later, her forehead covered in sweat.
Shen Jian rushed out with the horsetail whisk in his hand and replaced Yao Xiangjun's position, fighting the gatekeeper.
Just like that, Ancestor Lu, Shen Jian, and Yao Xiangjun took turns to fight the gatekeeper, hoping to make the gatekeeper slack off and tire out, causing its battle strength to decrease.
The reality was just as the three of them expected. After fighting for a day and a night, the gatekeeper's movements had indeed become sluggish.
Ancestor Lu and Shen Jian's eyes lit up. Shen Jian cupped his fists towards Ancestor Lu and said, "Ancestor Lu, I've come to take the gatekeeper's head for you. This gatekeeper can't even withstand a single blow, so there's no need to fear you."
As he spoke, Shen Jian quickly approached the gatekeeper. With a shake of the horsetail whisk in his hand, endless white threads turned into a vast ocean and enveloped the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper seemed to be extremely tired. Although it kept struggling, it couldn't break free from the white threads. Instead, the white threads became tighter and tighter.
The smile on Shen Jian's face grew wider. Then, he put away the horsetail whisk and the white threads condensed into an oval shape. He turned around and slowly walked towards Ancestor Lu.
This was an inescapable net that Shen Jian had set up. In Shen Jian's opinion, the gatekeeper couldn't break free.
Ancestor Lu laughed. Just as he was about to go up and greet Shen Jian, his body suddenly stiffened and he stared at Shen Jian.
The oval-shaped sphere condensed from the white threads behind Shen Jian was smashed to pieces, and the gatekeeper rushed out.
At this moment, the guardian's form was different from before. A pair of black wings grew out of the guardian's back. The black feathers looked like they were made of steel. It was extremely strange.
With these wings, the guardian's speed was much faster than before. In addition, Shen Jian was not on guard, so the guardian instantly got behind Shen Jian.
By the time Shen Jian reacted, the guardian's sword had already pierced through Shen Jian's back. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Shen Jian was not an ordinary person. His heart was penetrated, and his divine soul was locked down by this guardian. He knew that it would be hard for him to escape, so he took out the Illusory Heavenly Bridge and detonated it without hesitation.
The moment the Illusory Sky Bridge exploded, Ancestor Lu finally reacted. Fear rose in his heart.
The speed and strength displayed by the guardian just now were much, much stronger than before. Especially the aura that was emitted, it actually pressured him to the point where he could not breathe.
Ancestor Lu had a feeling that if he were to face the current guardian, he would definitely die.
"Go!
I have to go now. Otherwise, I'll die here. "
Ancestor Lu roared in his heart. Without hesitation, he took out an escape talisman and crushed it. He turned into a ray of bloody light and disappeared on the spot. He directly rushed towards the end of the platform.
"Do you think you can escape?"
A majestic voice rang out from the explosion of the Void Bridge, and then a huge hand that blotted out the sky suddenly reached out from the energy and grabbed at the bloody light.
The giant hand was too big, and its speed was too fast. In an instant, the fleeing bloody light was caught by the giant hand.
Ancestor Lu's expression changed greatly. This escape talisman was a top-grade escape talisman of the Lu Shrine. It was unbelievable that the giant hand had caught up with him in an instant.
"Damn it!"
Ancestor Lu's eyes were red. He absolutely could not die here. He had to pass through this checkpoint, obtain the Space-Time Key, and leave this place.
Thinking of this, Ancestor Lu's entire body exploded into a bloody mist. This was not crushed by the giant hand, but by Ancestor Lu's own self-destruction.
At the moment of Ancestor Lu's self-destruction, a physical body rapidly condensed a thousand miles away. It was Ancestor Lu.
As soon as Ancestor Lu formed, he immediately took out another escape talisman and desperately tried to escape. Unfortunately, the giant hand did not give him a chance and caught him again.
However, Ancestor Lu used the same method again.
After ten times in a row, Ancestor Lu's face was pale and he was extremely weak. However, he finally escaped the pursuit of the giant hand and left the platform. Obviously, he had passed through this checkpoint.
Of course, although Ancestor Lu had passed, he had paid a great price. At the very least, Ancestor Lu's strength had decreased greatly. It would not be easy for him to recover.
"Humph!
You're running pretty fast! "
A cold snort suddenly sounded. Then, the energy of the Illusory Heavenly Bridge's self-destruction was instantly annihilated by another more powerful energy. Then, the guardian's figure appeared again.
At this moment, Yao Xiangjun had already landed beside Zhuowen. Her beautiful eyes stared at the guardian with a dignified and fearful expression.
"What's going on with this guardian?
How did he become so strong? He's even much stronger than before. "Yao Xiangjun was puzzled.
"Because this is the true form of this guardian. This guy is using your strength to break through!" Zhuowen's eyes were sharp as he said calmly.
"Break through?" Yao Xiangjun's eyes narrowed as she asked in surprise.
"That's right. Although the guardians have strange appearances, they are also cultivating at all times. The guardian of the third stage is definitely much stronger than the guardians of the previous two stages. Previously, he simply treated you all as training stones, using pressure to complete the final breakthrough."
Zhuowen sighed in his heart. He had noticed that something was wrong from the beginning. The strength displayed by the guardian of the third checkpoint was only a little stronger than Sam's.
Based on Zhuo Wen's understanding of this stage, the guardian would only get stronger and stronger. Moreover, the guardian of the later stage would be much stronger than the previous stage, not just by a little bit.
"Then what should we do now?"
Yao Xiangjun was somewhat at a loss. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at the young man in white beside her, hoping that the young man in white could make a decision.
The rest of the people were even more panicked. They were so scared that their faces turned pale. They didn't expect that the guardian had been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Shen Jian was dead, Lu Zu had escaped. Now, the only person they could rely on was Yao Xiangjun.
But everyone knew that Yao Xiangjun's strength was weaker than Lu Zu and Shen Jian. How could she be a match for the guardian who suddenly erupted with strength?
Zhuo Wen shrugged and said, "Leave this fellow to me to deal with!
You step back and stay with everyone! "
As soon as these words came out, Yao Xiangjun was stunned. Everyone behind her was also stunned.
Although Zhuowen had a good performance when dealing with the Yin wind before, in everyone's view, there was still a big gap between him and Lu Zu and Shen Jian.
