Chapter 2169 - 2169 2159 Rain of Arrows

2169: Chapter 2159: Rain of Arrows 2169: Chapter 2159: Rain of Arrows The sounds around began to get louder and louder, even reaching a deafening level.

A rain of green light fell from the sky like a barrage of arrows.

The swooshing sound in the air sent chills down one’s spine, but Long Yan remained motionless.

His keen senses told him that the target of the arrow rain was not here.

“Ding ding ding!”

Many cultivators prepared to face the arrow rain by summoning their Treasures, looking as though they were facing a formidable enemy, but the arrow rain fell behind all the cultivators, disappearing upon touching the ground.

“The content of the Second Level is to dodge the arrow rain.

Each of you formidable warriors must come forward one by one to undergo the Trial.”

“The arrow rain will get stronger with each wave.

Please be cautious in your attempts.

There are a total of three waves of arrow rain, and passing after the second wave counts as success.

If among you there is someone who can withstand the third wave without injury, then in the next competition, they will receive a mysterious power-up.”

Xiao Tong squinted his eyes as he scrutinized everyone.

The rule was that simple.

Watching the many cultivators rubbing their hands together in anticipation, he cleared his throat, indicating that the three waves of arrow rain from the Great Formation would not be as simple as the initial one.

“Begin.

So, who will go first?”

“I will.”

A burly man with a full beard shouted, stepping forward.

He wanted to be the first to pass all three waves and secure that power-up.

Xiao Tong said nothing but gestured towards the burly man.

The area here is not spacious enough.

They need to go to a more spacious area to fully utilize their capabilities.

The burly man followed Xiao Tong to a spacious Courtyard, and if other cultivators wished to watch, they, too, could observe.

“The first wave begins.”

Upon Xiao Tong’s command, the burly man stood still without moving.

He was a Martial Cultivation practitioner who trained his physical body, hardly anyone could break through his True Qi heavy armor.

He summoned a full charge of True Qi and let out a loud shout on the spot.

The heavy armor formed by his True Qi elicited envious glances from those around him.

This martial arts seemed tailor-made for this Trial, making it seem too easy.

However, watching the arrogantly smiling burly man from the rooftop, Long Yan felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Especially the smile on Xiao Tong’s face next to him added to Long Yan’s unease, and Ouyang Zhen kept watching the side of Long Yan’s face.

“Brother Long, do you think this cultivator can pass all three waves?”

“One wave.”

Long Yan simply replied.

If it were that simple, it would not qualify as the Second Level.

The first level tested one’s inner determination; this Second Level certainly wouldn’t be as simple as one might think.

Sure enough, when the arrow rain appeared, the smile on the burly man’s face instantly froze.

The intensity and density of this arrow rain were entirely different from the previous wave and overwhelming for anyone to register.

The green arrow rain rapidly pelted the burly man.

The originally solid True Qi heavy armor produced a series of clanging noises in an instant, only then did the burly man remember to harness his power to deflect the arrow rain.

But it was too late; his hasty use of True Qi did not save him.

In an instant, his True Qi Armor shattered, and the sharp arrow rain left countless wounds on his body, becoming a porcupine-like figure in just a moment.

Fortunately, the arrow rain was condensed from True Qi and vanished upon contact, leaving only small wounds on the body.

All the spectators couldn’t help but gasp in shock; the arrow rain was so terrifying.

If it had not been arrows condensed from True Qi, the burly man in the center of the arena would likely have lost his life by now.

For a while, the crowd of cultivators was dead silent.

Seeing the burly man’s body full of wounds, most of whom were Qi Cultivation cultivators, who would dare to tackle such a challenge?

“Can one use an artifact for this level?”

There were quite a few in the arena who had the same idea, wondering if an artifact could withstand the power of this arrow rain.

Long Yan even cast a glance at one person who was speculated to be a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Gang.

Obviously, Xiao Tong was well prepared for this question and just casually spread his arms in a nonchalant manner.

After hesitating for a while, the disciple jumped into the arena, and from his storage bracelet, he took out a round shield the size of a palm.

True Qi was infused into the artifact like it was free, the round shield grew with the wind, and in an instant, it covered the entire body of the cultivator.

“Begin.”

Seeing the artifact above his head, the disciple confidently said, not believing that the arrow rain could penetrate a shield of an artifact.

Ouyang Zhen shook his head at this scene; this disciple was far too overconfident.

Following Xiao Tong’s command, the sky was filled with arrow rain that appeared, casting streaks of green light hammering down at the round shield, blanketing the surroundings and making people feel their scalps tingle.

“Ding ding dang dang,” the artifact shield perfectly demonstrated its defensive power.

Underneath the round shield, the disciple from the Heaven and Earth Gang felt some backlash, but it was much easier than the burly man had previously endured.

“Do you think he can pass the next level, Brother Long?”

“Possibly not.”

Without even turning his head, Long Yan just sat there with his eyes closed, resting.

If it were so simple, the struggle at the Green Luo Conference every year wouldn’t be so fierce.

Ouyang Zhen looked at Long Yan with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He had also participated in the last conference, but his performance in the Demon Suppressing Tower was not good, so he made up his mind, went into retreat to cultivate, and prepared to make a stunning appearance at this Green Luo Conference, but now he had changed his mind.

Regardless of the outcome of the Green Luo Conference, after this event, he was determined to have a fight with Long Yan.

Meanwhile, in the center, the cultivator had successfully endured the first wave of arrow rain but was now drenched in sweat as the originally smooth round shield was now pitted and dented.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine what the second wave of arrow rain would be like.

“Do you still want to continue?”

Xiao Tong smilingly looked at the cultivator in the center, asking.

The cultivator kept waving his hands; he was already exhausted, and it was meaningless to continue.

Knowing when to retreat is a virtue, so he decided to quit this level.

“Then who will be next?”

The instant this question was asked, all the cultivators fell silent, the power of the arrow rain was truly terrifying, and no one dared to stir anymore.

“Just wait a moment, Brother Long, I’ll be quick.”

No sooner had he finished speaking, Ouyang Zhen lightly stepped on the spot and flew into the arena, drawing the gaze of many cultivators towards him.

“Are you next?”

For safety’s sake, Xiao Tong still asked a question, Ouyang Zhen did not speak, only smiled and nodded.

Long Yan focused his attention on Ouyang Zhen, wanting to see how he would pass the first level.

“Begin.”

Following Xiao Tong’s command, the sky filled with arrow rain flew towards Ouyang Zhen without the slightest pause.

Around Ouyang Zhen, streaks of golden light rose, and a majestic Big Lion appeared behind him.

The Lion roared towards the Sky.
