Chapter 195 Guigu Changyang

Except for those who knew each other, the forty trial disciples all chose to act alone, because the rule that they could snatch the Nine Nether Crystals from each other made it impossible for those who did not trust each other to cooperate.

Xu Yang and Mu Jin whispered about whether to find other people to form a team together, which would be safer.

Just then, they saw Zhuge Yu, dressed in a green brocade shirt, standing alone not far away.

"Zhuge Yu is over there, why don't we go over and discuss with him about forming a team for the trial together." Xu Yang said.

"Okay."

The two walked forward.

Zhuge Yu turned his head and saw Xu Yang and the other two walking towards him, so he greeted them generously.

"You two don't want to form a team with me?" Before Xu Yang could speak, Zhuge Yu spoke first.

"Senior Brother Zhuge is really smart, and we have this intention." Xu Yang replied.

"You can form a team with me, but you have to agree to my conditions." Zhuge Yu said.

"Whatever conditions you have, we are both disciples of the Wood Spirit Academy, so we should help each other."

"I know that both of you are strong, but I am confident that I am stronger than you. My condition is that if you get the Nine Nether Crystals after forming a team, you must give them to me first, and I want to get two first."

"This?" Xu Yang hesitated after hearing Zhuge Yu's words.

After all, the trial period is one month, and after forming a team, you have to find five Nine Nether Crystals, which may be very time-consuming.

"To be fair, each of you will be allocated one first, and it's okay to give you the fourth one first." Bai Mujin suggested.

"I knew you wouldn't agree, and I didn't want to form a team with you. Excuse me, teammates with insufficient strength often become a burden." Zhuge Yu threw down a sentence without hesitation, turned around and left.

"Arrogant." Mu Jin said angrily.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't force others to do anything." Xu Yang comforted.

Before Zhuge Yu walked far, he seemed to have heard what the two said, but he didn't look back, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Thinking in his heart, I have already known about the competition between the two of you in the previous stage. One won by taking advantage of the spirit pet, and the other won by speculating in illusion. The trial here is not a ring. You can choose your opponent by yourself. You can take advantage of it by using your brain. What is needed is real strength. I have the family secret treasure "Green Wood Yingdan", which can completely match the strong in the real elixir realm. It is of no benefit for me to team up with you. As long as I get a Nine Nether Crystal first, I can use the Nine Nether Crystal to directly form a real elixir here. When the cultivation breaks through to the real elixir realm, the second Nine Nether Crystal will be easy to get.

Xu Yang saw that Mu Jin was a little unhappy, and smiled and said: "I am not familiar with the others. It seems that I can only team up with you.".

"What did you say, don't you want to team up with me?"

"Of course I will team up with you, because the two of us are born to be a pair."

"I agree."

Mu Jin showed a bright smile on her face again.

The two chose a direction and walked away side by side.

...

The forty trial disciples dispersed in twos and threes. There were fewer and fewer disciples near the exit of Rashomon.

In the end, only two disciples were left standing there, staring at each other with icy eyes.

One of them.

His whole body was dry and fleshless, and his exposed cheeks and arms were slightly glowing with a light blue luster, and on his back was a transparent and fleshless white skeleton.

The head of the white skeleton was placed on his shoulder, and occasionally rubbed his jaw to make a clicking sound, proving that it was alive. It was just that it lacked a light blue skin compared to its owner's skinny face, similar.

A gloomy skeleton.

A gloomy face.

A gloomy person.

…

The person opposite him.

He was dressed in gray, his face was as sharp as a knife, his blue-gray eyes were like the endless Dead Sea, his skin was gray and white like a demon, and he wore an eye-catching sheathed long sword on his waist.

The surface of the scabbard was inlaid with many gray cat's eye gems, and from time to time it emitted a faint gray mist, like a pair of fierce beast eyes hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to hunt.

The exposed hilt was covered with gray scales that seemed to be slightly wriggling.

A strange scabbard.

A strange knife.

A strange person.

“Ahem.” The man wearing the demon sword coughed twice and whispered, “Gui Gu Zan, did you participate in the evil ghost trial just to compete with me?”

After saying that, his gray hand grasped the hilt of the demon sword.

The man with the skeleton on his back glanced at the hand holding the knife handle opposite him, and said lightly: "Guigu Changyang, you have always been known as the strongest of the younger generation of the Guigu family, and the best knife master among the True Dan realm disciples of the three major families. Therefore, you have always been my target. After I came back from the Green Fire Demon Prison, the first person I wanted to challenge was you. When I knew that you had been in seclusion for the trial of the Evil Ghost Road, I became interested. Since you want to enter the Evil Ghost Road, then I will also enter the Evil Ghost Road like you to prove that I am as strong as you. And I will defeat you in this Evil Ghost Road to prove that I am stronger than you."

"Since you care so much about the title of the first in the family, take action." The man called Guigu Changyang said coldly.

"But I changed my mind just now." Guigu Zan replied coldly.

"Why? Are you scared?"

"I am not afraid of the Blue Fire Prison, do you think you are scarier than the Blue Fire Prison?"

"I will let you know how scary my magic sword is."

"You look sick now, most likely you have internal injuries. You are no longer my target now."

"Why, when did you become compassionate?"

"Defeating someone who is not worth defeating is a waste of my time."

After saying that, Guigu Zan turned around and left, leaving only the sound of the skeleton on his shoulder grinding its teeth.

"Cough, cough, cough." Guigu Changyang coughed violently, and his hand holding the hilt seemed to tremble.

"Guigu Zan, there will be a battle between you and me." Guigu Changyang said, and turned away.

After an incense stick, Guigu Changyang, who was walking, suddenly stopped. He trembled, beads of sweat fell from his gray cheeks, and his breathing became rapid.

"It seems that I underestimated my injuries."

Seeing that there was no one around, he took out a pill and swallowed it, sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully took off the magic sword on his waist, and placed it flat on his legs.

After a moment, a wisp of gray breath overflowed from the Baihui point on his head. The gray mist became more and more, and Guigu Changyang's breathing gradually stabilized.

At this time, two disciples who had been in the trial in the distance came back.

One of them was a tall young man wearing an eagle feather cloak walking in front. Behind him followed a disciple wearing a fur coat and looking honest.

"Boss, you walk so majestically, I can hardly keep up with you." The little man in the fur coat said.

"Xiaoquan, what do you know? In terms of combat power, I, Chen Ping, may not be the most powerful in the Chen family, but my IQ must be second to none. Remember, this is called a quick battle and a quick decision, waiting for the rabbit." The man who called himself Chen Ping said proudly.

"Boss, are we just the two of us waiting for the rabbit here?" The little man called Xiaoquan continued to ask.

"Don't talk too much. Only five people knew this secret before. Now I tell you, it's six people."

Xiaoquan heard it and quickly stretched out five fingers on his left palm and one finger on his right palm.

After putting six fingers together, he said excitedly: "Five plus one is indeed six, worthy of being the omnipotent boss."

"You are a guy who can't count naturally, just follow me and learn more. When the time comes, we will rob him of more than ten or twenty Nine Nether Crystals, and we will definitely be rewarded by our ancestors when we go back."

"Xiaoquan can follow the boss this time, and he will definitely learn a lot. Tell my mother when you go back, and she will definitely praise me for being sensible."

"Do you know that there are so many talented disciples in the Chen family, why did I choose you to participate in the evil ghost trial with me?"

"Because Xiaoquan listens to the boss the most."

"Sensible."

As he said, Chen Ping took out a paper bag and handed it to Xiaoquan beside him.

Xiaoquan couldn't help but sniff back and forth with his nose, and said excitedly: "It's meat buns, my favorite meat buns."

Skillfully opened the paper bag, and three large white and round meat buns were revealed inside. Seeing that the boss rewarded himself with meat buns, Xiaoquan was moved to tears in his eyes.

He held the meat bun in both hands and devoured it.

"It smells so good."

"I'm full, so I'll have more energy to fight later."

"Boss, don't you want to eat one?"

Looking at the remaining meat bun in his hand, Xiaoquan hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Ping eagerly and asked.

"Sir, I don't like meat buns. As long as you behave well, you can have as many meat buns as you want."

After hearing this, Xiaoquan put the last meat bun in his hand into his mouth, eating it with oil dripping from his mouth, and his face was full of joy.

The two walked and talked, so happy, and there was no pressure from the evil ghost trial on their faces.

"It seems that there is a person sitting on the edge of the forest in the distance." Chen Ping saw Guigu Changyang sitting cross-legged in the distance and reminded him in a low voice.

"Boss, are we going to fight? Let me go first."

"Wait, I recognize this guy, his name is Guigu Changyang, he is not easy to mess with. Is he also waiting here?"

"Boss, I'll go and drive him away. He is guarding the pigs here, how can we wait for the rabbits?"

Chen Ping's eyes turned, and then he said: "Let me cast a spell to see if this man has any accomplices. What if there are several people ambushing in the woods behind him, won't the two of us be at a disadvantage?"

"Boss, you are wise."

Chen Ping flipped his wrist, a brown feather appeared in his palm, and then threw the feather into the air.

"Puff"!

The feather turned into a vulture in the wind, flapping its wings and flying high.

Not long after, the vulture turned into a feather came to the sky above where Guigu Changyang was, circling continuously.

The scene in the woods behind Guigu Changyang was clearly reflected in Chen Ping's pupils.

In the woods.

Xu Yang and Bai Mujin talked while walking.

"Among so many people, we are probably the only two who went in the wrong direction. There is a cliff ahead. We have been going around in the woods for nothing." Xu Yang said helplessly.

"Not bad, at least we saw the scenery that others didn't see." Mu Jin said with a smile.

The sun shone on Mu Jin through the gaps in the woods. She was dressed in a colorful white dress, like an elf in the sun, always bringing people joy.

Xu Yang looked at Mu Jin with tenderness in his eyes and said, "You are the most beautiful scenery."

The two smiled at each other.

...

"Sure enough, there is an ambush. There is a man and a woman hiding in the woods, talking and laughing." Chen Ping said in the distance.

"Boss, should we go over and wait for the three of them to come?"

"Let's hide first, and when the rest of us come, we will have a quick battle and defeat the minority with more people."

"Boss, you are wise."

Chen Ping lifted up the feather cape behind him, and the feathers flew all over the sky. The two of them were hidden in the feathers. When the feathers dispersed, the two disappeared.
