Chapter 1447: Long Bloody Battle
Zhou Yiqiao only felt a huge force coming at him, and the whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the wall of the palace heavily, shaking the entire hall slightly.
He only felt a dull pain in his chest, a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Cough cough..."
Zhou Yiqiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, forcibly suppressed the surging blood in his body, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Although this scene had been expected, he was still unwilling to give up.
"I can't just passively take a beating!"
He made up his mind and quickly adjusted his posture to prepare for the impending attack.
The roar of the Caixia Bird was deafening. Zhou Yiqiao could feel the strong pressure emanating from it and the strong wind that almost tore the air apart.
Zhou Yiqiao didn't dare to resist head-on. He kept changing his body shape to avoid wave after wave of violent attacks.
However, since he has decided to fight the enemy, he will not remain so passive!
He suddenly stopped, held the sword with both hands, and gathered all his spiritual power on the Dusk Sword.
"Buzz!"
After a slight cry, a ray of inky sword light shot out from Zhou Yiqiao's hand, drawing a graceful arc in the air and pointing directly at the belly of the Caixia Bird.
This attack condensed all of Zhou Yiqiao's strength, and it was so powerful that it seemed to be able to change the world!
The Caixia Bird seemed to feel the threat of this attack. Its huge body suddenly stopped in the air and its wings flapped wildly, trying to block the sword light with the strong wind.
However, Zhou Yiqiao's sword light was like a meteor in the dark night, cutting through the sky, ignoring all obstacles and hitting the Caixia Bird's vital points.
"Hey!"
The sword light penetrated the Caixia Bird's defense and left a deep wound on its abdomen.
The caixia bird let out a shrill cry, and its huge body began to shake.
Zhou Yiqiao did not miss this opportunity. His figure was as fast as lightning and he instantly appeared above the Caixia Bird, waving the Dusk Sword again.
This time, his target was the neck of the jaybird!
"Pfft!"
With a slight sound, the head of the Caixia Bird was cut off by Zhou Yiqiao's sword. Blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing the entire hall red.
Zhou Yiqiao stood on the corpse of the Caixia bird, gasping for breath. His clothes were already stained with blood and he looked in a miserable state.
Looking at the wreckage on the ground, Zhou Yiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the battle was won.
"It's already so strenuous for Caixia Bird alone, and now Hunyu has fallen into a deep sleep and cannot use the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. What should we do next?"
Zhou Yiqiao frowned and thought to himself.
Although he has defeated the Caixia Bird, there are still more ferocious beasts waiting for him to challenge.
Judging from the reliefs on the bronze gate, the strength of these ancient ferocious beasts far exceeds that of Tenglong Jiao and Caixia Bird. It is conceivable how difficult it is to obtain their inner elixirs!
However, things have come to this point and there is no way back. Zhou Yiqiao can only bite the bullet and move forward.
After taking out the inner elixir from the bodies of the two Caixia birds, Zhou Yiqiao slowly walked to the altar and looked at the compass floating in the air. A complex look flashed in his eyes.
"Senior, the opportunity you left behind is too harsh."
Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly and put the inner elixir of the Caixia Bird into the compass, and then the same scene as before appeared.
The relief of the Caixia Bird lit up, and a phantom appeared above the altar, and together with the previous phantom of the Tenglong Jiao, it continued to rotate around the compass.
"Calculating the time, at least five hours have passed since I entered the Xuantian Secret Realm."
"If the secret realm I'm in doesn't change the speed of time, I'll be forced out of this Zixiao Palace in another hour."
Zhou Yiqiao stepped into the passage behind the altar, thinking in his heart.
To be honest, he had doubts about whether he could get the opportunity of Zixiao Palace in front of him, and he didn't care whether he would be forced to leave Xuantian Secret Realm when the time was up.
After all, judging from his current strength, if he doesn't spend a long time slowly testing himself, he will never be able to defeat the remaining ancient beasts.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. First, recover from the damage, then we can talk about other things."
Zhou Yiqiao sat cross-legged in front of the altar, took out a pill and swallowed it, then began to recover from his injuries.
Although he had defeated the Caixia Bird, he had also paid a heavy price.
If the damage is not recovered in time, the next battle will only become more difficult.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that the flow of time in my secret realm has also been changed. I can't leave this Zixiao Palace for the time being."
He stood up, loosened his slightly stiff muscles, and after making sure that his injuries were fully recovered, he punched the bronze door and entered the palace again.
"Since I don't know when I can leave this Zixiao Palace, I can only deceive myself and challenge these monsters as a means of killing time!"
Zhou Yiqiao shouted loudly, holding the Dusk Sword in his hand, and rushed towards the giant bear in front of him that was as tall as a mountain!
......
Immortal Emperor Palace, Nine Dragon Hall.
As soon as Luo Fengtian returned to the main hall, he saw the mysterious man sitting in his seat, browsing the memorials of Daxuantian.
"Why, are you interested in the position of Great Xuantian Immortal Emperor?"
Luo Fengtian waved his hand, ordered the servants on the side to step back, and made a teasing remark, attracting the attention of the mysterious man.
The mysterious man looked up when he heard this, threw the memorial back on the table, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The Great Mysterious Heavenly Immortal Emperor is indeed a nice title, but I am not interested in being trapped here."
Luo Fengtian chuckled, walked over to the soft couch beside him and sat down, not paying attention to the mysterious man's disdain for the position of the Immortal Emperor.
"Didn't you say you would leave once everything was settled? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The mysterious man sneered and teased in return.
"Why, are you trying to drive me away?"
Luo Fengtian was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed.
"If you understand it this way, it's not impossible."
The mysterious man stopped joking with Luo Fengtian. He calmed down and answered Luo Fengtian's questions.
"Wait a bit, it will only take about six hours. After the Xuantian Secret Realm is over and Zhou Yiqiao's safety is confirmed, it won't be too late for me to leave."
Hearing the mysterious man's answer, Luo Fengtian's surprised expression froze on his face for a while, as if he suddenly understood something. He looked up at the other party in surprise and said.
"Did you let this kid get into the secret realm this time?!"
Luo Fengtian stood up excitedly, walked quickly to the mysterious man, grabbed his shoulders, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
The mysterious man gently brushed away Luo Fengtian's hand, stood up, with a faint smile on his lips.
“Even if I want to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm, it will cost a huge price, and of course it’s not something I put in.”
"That is how the matter?"
Luo Fengtian asked hurriedly.
"I knew the previous owner of that opportunity and made some deals with him, so that he would voluntarily give the opportunity to the Great Xuantian Immortal Emperor after his death."
Luo Fengtian seemed not to believe it.
"Aren't you afraid that someone else might pass the test of that opportunity before this and take it away in advance?"
"This test of opportunity is not so easy to pass."
The mysterious man looked like he had everything under control. He looked out the window, watching Zhou Yiqiao and others enter the square of Xuantian Secret Realm, and said with a smile.
“It’s not that I look down on you, Daxuantian. The test of Zixiao Palace would cost even Zhou Yiqiao himself a lot, not to mention you, Daxuantian and other second-generation immortals who haven’t experienced many setbacks.
"You are quite confident."
Luo Fengtian smiled and followed the mysterious man's gaze, looking towards the square.
"Then I'll wait and see if this kid is as strong as you said."
......
"boom!"
Inside the Zixiao Palace, the ragged Zhou Yiqiao was hit head-on by a giant pig demon in front of him that was as big as a mountain. He flew backwards and hit the stone pillar of the palace.
The power of this wild boar monster was terrifying. Zhou Yiqiao was like a rag doll. The moment he was knocked away, he could even clearly hear the sound of his bones breaking.
"Cough cough..."
Zhou Yiqiao coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and struggled to get up from the ground. The severe pain all over his body made it almost impossible for him to stand.
"Damn it, the physical strength of this pig demon alone is comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the fusion stage, but his cultivation is only at the early stage of the refining stage."
"How terrifying is the power of this ancient immortal cultivator?"
He spat out the blood in his mouth, endured the severe pain, took out a pill and swallowed it, while taking the time to recover from his injuries, he was also alert for the pig demon in front of him to attack again.
Fortunately, this pig demon had already regarded Zhou Yiqiao as a toy that could be killed at any time, and was not in a hurry to attack him again.
"According to the time, I have wasted at least a hundred years in Zixiao Palace."
"At first, they were just minor injuries, and I could fight again after three to five days of recovery. But after that mantis monster, every time I fought, I was almost dead."
"It would take at least several years or even more than ten years just to struggle to recover after each battle."
"Now, besides this wild boar monster, there is only a tiger with wings on its back that has not been challenged yet..."
Zhou Yiqiao leaned against the stone pillar in a half-squatting position, recovering from his injuries while thinking silently in his heart.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire Zixiao Palace began to shake violently, as if it was about to collapse.
Seeing that Zhou Yiqiao had not moved for a long time, the wild boar monster seemed to have suddenly lost its patience and let out another earth-shaking roar. It stomped its four hooves on the ground and charged towards Zhou Yiqiao like a moving mountain of flesh.
Zhou Yiqiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he dared not think anymore. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last bit of spiritual power in his dantian, and met the attack of the wild boar monster.
