Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 85: Chapter 75 Questions

"Be careful! Huijun!"

Accompanied by such a cry, Guo Huijun had already seen a team of white knights charging from the tunnel ahead. No, these were not knights!

These were knights made of white paper, just like the carriages and horses made of paper for weddings and funerals. Only their sizes were no different from ordinary knights.

Guo Huijun had such an impression at the first moment. The teams of white paper knights in front of her were mighty and magnificent, all arranged in four columns. There were actually more than a dozen teams charging out. Although these knights made of white paper moved silently, their speed was not slow at all.

"I'll do it!"

Liu Suiyun held the Tianlei Xingzhui Sword, and a fist-sized red fireball flew out and landed in front of the knights in the front team. Immediately, the fire blazed fiercely. Within a radius of about ten feet, there was a raging fire. However, these white paper knights and their warhorses were completely unaffected and continued to gallop forward silently.

"Tough opponents!"

Liu Suiyun had this feeling at the first moment. Although these white paper knights looked like the paper horses and carriages casually made by craftsmen during weddings and funerals, the more mysterious such things were, the more often they had incredible power. The fireball just now was only a test. But these knights were completely unharmed and even completely fearless of the fire.

"I'll do it!"

Now it was Xia Jingjue's turn. He didn't know where he found several iron darts and threw them out like a meteor shower. Each throw was accompanied by a startling whistling sound. But as soon as these astonishingly imposing iron darts landed on the white paper knights, they were bounced back by a mysterious force and directly fell to the ground.

"Oh, oh!" Liu Suiyun hadn't heard Guo Huijun utter this pet phrase that made him feel extremely affectionate for a long time. For some reason, when he heard this phrase, Liu Suiyun couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Oh, oh!" Accompanied by such a pet phrase, Guo Huijun had launched an attack with the momentum of a mountain. Liu Suiyun had never seen her so eager for battle that every step carried a hint of an overwhelming force. "Oh, oh, it's time to deal with you!"

Guo Huijun held a huge shield that covered her entire body in her left hand and a super large sword weighing at least a hundred catties in her right hand. She had charged into the formation of the white paper knights. With one swing of the sword, she cut a white paper knight and his horse into two sections. But immediately after, more white paper knights had submerged Guo Huijun.

"Yah, yah..." Guo Huijun had already started fighting in the charge of the white paper knights' horses. At this moment, she was not only a true female war god but also an angry woman!

Although the pleasant laughter always resounded in the corridor, more often Liu Suiyun could feel that this was a venting of pressure. He even had a feeling that Guo Huijun was venting!

Guo Huijun was venting. But she had transferred all the pressure. She even forgot herself. She only knew to fight and directly cut one white paper figure after another in front of her into two sections. She laughed so freely!

When a woman erupted, it was so terrifying!

These powerful white paper knights, even though they submerged Guo Huijun, were still pushed back by her sword and shield and couldn't advance a step.

This is the moment!

Liu Suiyun tightly held the Tianlei Xingzhui Sword, and the killing move he had prepared for a long time was unleashed: "Purple Fire Net!"

Boom, boom, boom! The extremely dense formation of the white paper knights was immediately submerged by the purple sea of fire. This was almost Liu Suiyun's most powerful cultivation technique. Many white paper knights and even their warhorses became scorched or were directly ignited by the purple fire.

And this old comrade Xia Jingjue also came up holding a large spear. Although he couldn't compare to Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun's extraordinary skills, he directly knocked a white paper knight off his horse with the large spear. Then he struck the knight's chest with the heavy spear at just the right moment and stabbed more than a dozen times in a row. Finally, he killed this white paper knight.

"Purple Fire Net..."

Liu Suiyun once again unleashed this proud cultivation technique of his, opening a passage for Guo Huijun's unstoppable assault in the formation of the white paper knights. He had never imagined that a warrior could be so domineering and charge recklessly, treating all obstacles as nothing.

But what surprised him even more was that although the Five Sacred Peaks Talisman on his shoulder was still slowly devouring his accumulation, at this time, it slowly sent back a kind of extremely gentle spiritual energy into his spiritual veins, perfectly coordinating with the Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging God Record he was operating.

"What's going on?"

Liu Suiyun didn't have time to consider his own problem because Guo Huijun had directly swept away these dozens of white paper knights like a mountain collapsing and an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. She put away the huge shield and laughed triumphantly: "Yah, yah... You are really useless. By the way, what did you call me just now?"

Liu Suiyun remained calm: "Huijun? Or should I still call you Miss Guo?"

"Whatever!" Guo Huijun had vented enough and laughed enough. "We have to hurry up. Zhaori must be in trouble."

"What's going on?"

"I know what these white paper knights are. These are paper effigies..."

"Bucket effigies?" Liu Suiyun heard this term for the first time. "Are they the guardians of Beihe Mausoleum?"

Guo Huijun walked quickly. She told Liu Suiyun: "No, these are the secret technique and personal guards cultivated by Chen Chaonan..."

"Chen Chaonan?"

Liu Suiyun immediately thought of the cultivator at the great accomplishment stage of Qi Refining who had had a fierce conflict with him. But ever since he met that mysterious cultivator from the Supreme Demon Sect, he had never seen Chen Chaonan again. Chen Chaonan seemed to have fallen in the siege of strange beasts. But how could his paper effigies appear here?

He lowered his head and carefully examined these white paper knights. As he had thought, these white paper knights were actually made by using bamboo as the frame and then pasting white paper on it. There was not much difference from the paper horses and paper carriages at weddings and funerals. He didn't know how they could move so freely. But Liu Suiyun didn't dare to underestimate them at all.

If it weren't for Guo Huijun, perhaps it would have been a real fierce battle just now. After all, the combat effectiveness of these paper horses and paper figures was not bad. At least they had the level of Bone Tempering Realm. Moreover, they were not afraid of ordinary fire. Not to mention there was a paper horse under them. If dozens or even hundreds of them charged over, it would definitely be difficult to deal with.

Chen Chaonan was a helper invited by Xu Zhaori himself. So Liu Suiyun could only start from this aspect: "Huijun, do you know the background of this Chen Chaonan?"

"Not at all. This matter was specifically handled by Zhaori!" Guo Huijun replied. "I only know that his paper effigies have very strange abilities. As long as he wants, he can even control more than a hundred of them..."

Just as she was speaking, the corridor in front suddenly changed. Originally, only four horses could run side by side. Now it became even wider. At least ten or so horses could run side by side. And Liu Suiyun soon found many traces of battles in it.

"This is the fallen flower petal left by Lao Xu. This is the fragrance he left. It was definitely a fierce battle..."

Although he couldn't completely restore the specific scene of the entire battle, Liu Suiyun could judge from the traces left on the scene that this was definitely a real fierce battle. Both sides even unleashed killer moves at the foundation establishment level. Even several stone statues holding halberds were smashed to pieces.

"The power of Lao Xu's cultivation technique and the speed judged according to these traces are really astonishing?"

So Liu Suiyun had to ask Guo Huijun a crucial question: "Huijun, what cultivation level is Zhaori now?"

"The fourteenth layer of Qi Refining. Didn't I say it already? What's the doubt?"

"This speed and the power of this cultivation technique are completely not at the level of a Qi Refining cultivator."

Guo Huijun expressed some doubts: "He is at the fourteenth layer of Qi Refining. Moreover, he got a lot of good things from Pang Tianming!"

"But the Qi Refining stage is the Qi Refining stage, and the foundation establishment stage is the foundation establishment stage. There is a fundamental difference between the two!" Liu Suiyun said firmly: "I can't understand it more and more!"

Guo Huijun replied: "Since you can't understand it, then continue to cut a way out with your sword!"

"Advance!"

After continuing to walk for about a mile or so, now Liu Suiyun had to be amazed by the grand gesture of this True Monarch Beihe. This person was known as a strong person worthy of obtaining the title of Long Aotian. He was truly worthy of it. This mausoleum was built too grandly!

And according to Guo Huijun, now it was only half of the third layer. She had once sneaked into the fifth layer with Xu Zhaori: "By the way, there is a glazed platform ahead. It is as pure as water. Passing there, you can see the situation of the fourth layer clearly. It's there..."

Liu Suiyun looked ahead according to Guo Huijun's indication. It seemed to be a platform made of pure-colored glazed. It couldn't be described as pure as water. It was completely transparent, just like the few crystals Liu Suiyun had seen before.

Because Guo Huijun was wearing spiritual armor, she didn't walk fast. But when she walked in front of this pure-colored glazed, she was completely stunned. Then she half-knelt on the ground and kept knocking on the glazed with her hands, extremely excited.

Through this pure-colored glazed, Liu Suiyun had already seen the situation on the fourth layer below clearly. This was a hall covering an area of no less than twenty or thirty mu. And in the hall, two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle.

But the camps seemed a bit chaotic. Although Xu Zhaori and An Zhiyu were on the same side, one of An Zhiyu's fellow disciples was standing on one side with a group of cultivators wearing flowery clothes and charging towards Xu Zhaori's side.

These seven or eight flowery-clothed cultivators were all not weak. At the lowest, they had the cultivation level of the later stage of Qi Refining. There was even a foundation establishment cultivator suppressing the formation. But on Xu Zhaori and An Zhiyu's side, there were only two people. But they were not at a disadvantage at all.

This old cultivator An Zhiyu, who was in his declining years, kept unleashing his ultimate killer moves. There were quite a few magic tools, talismans, and pills. But compared to Xu Zhaori's performance on the battlefield, he was completely insignificant.

Now Xu Zhaori could actually explain it with his actions: "Moving like a ghost, as fast as lightning!"

This was not something an ordinary foundation establishment cultivator could do.
