Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"arrive."

The female voice of the servant Qingyue came from the front, breaking the suffocating silence in the long corridor, and also dispelled the frightening thoughts that were constantly growing in Xu Yue's heart.

The silence was broken, and Xu Yue was also separated from the strange feeling of transcendence before. He looked around, and then realized that he had followed the servant to the end of the corridor unknowingly. Looking around, he saw a vast expanse of The space at the center of the mountain appeared in his field of vision.

The huge cavity seemed to have completely hollowed out the entire Hidden Mountain Range. At a glance, the specific boundaries of the space inside the mountain could not be seen, only the deep and sticky darkness blocking the end of the line of sight.

At the top of the mountain is a magnificent dome composed of countless radioactive ores, projecting small and long gleams of light, like a mysterious sea of ​​stars in the night sky, dazzling.

In the heart of the mountain, most of the space is shrouded in darkness. The few places illuminated by fire are stone platforms. The edges of the stone platforms are surrounded by firelight and are scattered irregularly throughout the space, in high and low shapes.

These stone platforms are mainly supported by the giant rock pillars below. There are no passages connecting each other, making them appear empty and lonely in this dim space.

Apart from these scattered stone platforms, the only man-made structure in the mountainside space is the wide staircase directly in front of Xu Yue.

The stairs spread upward layer by layer, all the way to the widest and tallest platform at the top. This is a magnificent mountain road built in the heart of the mountain. Along the way, there are densely arranged purple torches on both sides, swaying with coquettish light.

"The leader's position is at the top of the stairs, but then a shadow assassin will come to give you a simple assessment. After passing it, you can continue forward."

After leaving the corridor, the servant stopped moving forward, turned around and gave instructions to Xu Yue behind him.

"Oh, how do I pass?" Xu Yue looked at the servant in front of him, his eyes slowly began to overflow with a touch of coquettish purple under the surrounding purple torches. "Kill him?"

"Your Excellency, you are joking. We are not allowed to kill each other within the organization, as long as we remain undefeated."

After saying that, the servant's devil mask paused for a moment in Xu Yue's eyes, and then left first. His figure flashed several times on the stairs and quickly disappeared.

At the entrance of the corridor, Xu Yue looked up along the back of the servant as he left, and saw a black figure spreading its huge wings at the high platform at the end of the stairs and leaping down from above.

The whistling sound approached quickly from above, and with it came a chilly and piercing murderous intention.

"You killed the white bird and destroyed the entire Asuka Gate?"

Cold questions came from above. Xu Yue looked up. In mid-air, there was a man with wings flying behind his back and his eyes covered with crossed white strips.

The two-foot-long Fang Tian painted halberd quietly appeared in his hand. Xu Yue glanced at the black wings behind the man, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Blackbird?"

"What? Are you here to say thank you for your previous revenge?"

Xu Yue's tone was a little sarcastic. Back then, the Black Bird Department was completely wiped out by the White Bird Department, and Black Bird was also expelled from the Asuka Clan after being seriously injured. Logically speaking, he should hate the White Bird Clan and the entire Asuka Clan.

But from the current decline of the Asuka Sect, Blackbird has never come to the door to cause trouble. It can be seen that he still has some feelings for the sect that taught him.

Otherwise, it would not be Xu Yue's turn to destroy the Feiniao Sect. If Blackbird really wanted revenge, the current Feiniao Sect would definitely not be Blackbird's opponent.

Even if White Bird did not choose to retreat, but guarded the sect, Black Bird, who had become one of the shadow assassins, had too many ways to deal with this sect that had long lost its former glory.

"Thank you?" As he spoke, a black dragon whip covered with thorns was whipped out from the black bird's hand and struck Xu Yue through the air below.

"I'll thank you very much!"

"Snapped!"

The black whip shadow fell from the top of the head, but Xu Yue dodged it sideways. The long whip hit the ground and exploded with a loud roar. When the whip shadow was recovered, a very deep groove suddenly appeared on the spot. The black bird could do this this time. It’s not just for the assessment.

Glancing at the nearly half-meter-deep whip mark on the ground, Xu Yue lowered his eyes slightly. With this blow alone, Blackbird's strength attribute was definitely not less than 30 points, but the speed of the attack was not too fast, and his reaction was still there. Within the speed.

Moving his vision away from the whip marks, he looked at the long black whip that was constantly coiled on the metal gauntlet on Black Bird's right hand, and said softly:

"I remember that you were defeated by Shiratori? This speed is indeed worse than him."

After the word "white bird" came out of Xu Yue's mouth, the murderous intent above became obviously more violent. Red lightning flashes appeared on the black dragon whip. The upper and lower lips of the black bird split open, revealing the sharp white teeth.

"very good!"

The cold words were torn apart by the strong wind. When they reached Xu Yue's ears, a black shadow appeared behind him at the same time, and a long whip flashing with red electric light was silently wrapped around his neck. , and then tightened suddenly.

Feeling that the whip in his hand had caught the target, Blackbird's eyes covered with cloth flashed with a trace of cruelty. The wings on his back suddenly flapped, and he immediately rose into the sky.

Although I was not able to see the entire process of the opponent killing the white bird with my own eyes, judging from Manzhu Shahua's simple description, this person did not have particularly flexible flying abilities.

Therefore, as long as he can be brought into the air where he cannot rely on his strength, the Black Bird will be sure to completely destroy him.

"stretch!"

The thunder dragon whip held tightly in his hand was stretched straight in an instant, and Blackbird's upward figure also stopped. An unshakable weight came from the long whip. At this moment, Blackbird felt that the person he wanted to pull was not a person. Human beings, but the land beneath our feet that holds all things.

‘Impossible, how could he be able to resist so quickly when he was being lifted from the back to the top. ’

Suspense arose in his mind, and Blackbird turned back to look at the end of the long whip in disbelief. He saw that Xu Yue below him had turned completely silver at some point, and the tail end of the black dragon whip was still firmly tied around the opponent's neck. The whip body extended from the back of his neck to his hand. It was stretched straight by two forces, but it failed to have any effect on the target.

The long whip did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and the opponent still maintained a standing posture, but just like this, he was unable to pull it at all.

In a daze, golden-red flames ignited from Xu Yue's body and spread rapidly along the long whip tied around his neck. The red electric light on the long whip was also instantly swallowed up in the boiling flames.

In a moment, the flames had spread from the tail of the whip to the handle of the whip in Black Bird's hand, and even tended to spread along the metal arm armor.

The long-lost tingling sensation came from his right hand. Blackbird waved his hand to disperse the pure Yangyan stained on the arm armor. Looking at the wisps of black energy overflowing and spreading on his right hand, the emotion in his eyes quickly changed from horror to fierceness.

Since he perfected the Black Bird Technique, he hasn't felt the touch of pain for many years, but even the slightest touch of this flame can make his arms tingle and his true energy leak out.

Undoubtedly, this thing restrained him very well, and even had the ability to burn him to death. Thinking of this, Blackbird's original plan of just destroying Xu Yue has changed to killing him directly.

As for the rules, the other party has not yet become a shadow assassin, and the leader will not challenge him too much over a dead man.

For the leader, except for the top seven shadow assassins, the other so-called ranked assassins are tools that can be replaced at any time.

Even the Shadow Assassin is just a more advanced and precious tool.

Tearing open the clothes on his chest, Blackbird revealed a huge cavity in his abdomen, which was filled not with flesh and blood, but with masses of weird, constantly twisting matter.

Under the erosion and transformation of the martial arts for many years, the black bird and the human species have gradually deviated. The rich black color spread out from the abdominal cavity and tightly wrapped his whole body. His ten fingers became slender and turned into sharp claws, and his lower body disappeared, leaving only black. The remnant robe was fluttering, and even his voice became hoarse and terrifying. A little red light in the black eyes stared at him thinking about Xu Yue, and the black bird said:

"What's the name of this flame?"

"Pure Kagero."

Looking at the black bird above that turned into a devil form, Xu Yue's whole body began to be entangled with blazing flames. The fine scales under his boots were retracted, and pieces of metal plates flew out of the space and spread all over the body. This tactic was still the same as before for the white bird. As for what was prepared, it was a pity that the white bird was too fast and could not be used, but it was just right to use it against the black bird at the moment.

………………

"Blackbird turns on his devil form as soon as he meets you. He looks very serious."

In the shadow hall at the belly of the mountain, Manzhu Shahua looked at the two people confronting each other in the light curtain, with an expression of excitement on his face as if he was watching the excitement and it was not too big a deal.

The figure opposite, covered in the smell of blood, glanced at Manzhu Shahua who was speaking, and then cast his gaze on the light screen. Looking at the golden-red flames wrapped around Xu Yue's body, there was a trace of blood in his eyes.

Every time he saw this kind of flame, he felt sincere disgust and a touch of fear.

The blood in his eyes dissipated, and his lips split under the scarf, revealing the blood-red fangs inside, and he faintly said:

"Now that both sides are getting serious, if someone is accidentally beaten to death, it's not a good idea to break the rules. I'll be the judge."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's laughter came from the front left. The face of the figure full of blood turned dark, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it. But as soon as he stepped out of the queue, a long knife with a green glow came from in front of him. The long and thin knife mark stopped him from taking the step he was about to take.

"Chiya, your ability is not suitable for judging, so let me go!"

"Qingfeng, you..."

The man's clear voice came from the left. Chiya, who was covered in the smell of blood, turned his head suddenly and looked at the cyan figure with two swords on his waist and hips on the left, with a fierce light in his eyes.

Ignoring Chiya's fierce gaze from the side, Qingfeng unsheathed his two swords at his waist and transformed into two cyan phoenix birds, supporting him and flying down the high platform.

Directly facing the two people, a white figure wearing a bamboo hat witnessed the whole farce. After lingering on the backs of Chiya and Qingfeng who had gone away, he finally turned to the two people who were fighting fiercely in the light screen. , the slender eyes like a fox narrowed slightly.

"It seems that our newbie who is about to join us is very popular."
