Chapter 2177 - 2177 2167 Treasure Chest Monster

2177: Chapter 2167: Treasure Chest Monster 2177: Chapter 2167: Treasure Chest Monster Long Yan and Zhang Tiankun were certainly not willing to let things rest, but given that Feng Tianlu had already made a move, neither of them found it appropriate to continue.

Xiao Tong had just arrived from the other side of the cliff.

The aftermath of the two’s battle prevented him from daring to walk on the Iron Chain, and Zhang Tiankun still wore a cold sneer on his face while a chill intermittently flickered in Long Yan’s eyes.

Seeing that the two were on the verge of fighting at the drop of a hat, Xiao Tong hurriedly intervened, persuading them to save their battle until they had descended Green Vine Mountain.

“Long Yan, a final confrontation between us is inevitable.

I hope you won’t back down.”

“I would be glad to oblige.”

With each party having tossed out a fierce statement, and regarding Zhang Tiankun’s knowledge of his own identity, Long Yan felt no surprise.

If, after clashing to such an extent, one could not guess the identity of the opponent, that would be truly strange.

Long Yan’s identity clearly stunned all the disciples of Heaven and Earth Gang.

Who could have expected the person before them, with strength that amazed everyone, to actually be the top of the Heavenly Ranking?

One could only wonder what the person who had previously spoken ill of Long Yan thought now.

Having resolved the two’s conflict, Long Yan and Zhang Tiankun temporarily ceased their fight.

Thanks to Long Yan’s fortune, this round saw the highest number of passes ever, and the next challenge was the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The Demon Suppressing Tower is known throughout the Star Domain as the place imprisoning the most vicious and evil monsters.

It is said that whenever the major sects encounter an invincible or immensely powerful demon, they submit it to the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Over time, the Demon Suppressing Tower has thus become a prison for these demons.

Long Yan listened quietly to Xiao Tong’s explanation of the history of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The tower consists of nine levels, crafted from unknown materials by Immortal Great Powers.

It is impervious to any form of attack, ensuring no monsters could escape.

The surroundings appeared eerily abnormal, with eight huge Iron Chains wrapped around the architecture of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

In front of the door was an invisible pattern, giving the entire tower an ominous feel and emitting an indescribable fluctuation.

“Everyone, the floors of this Demon Locking Tower are counted in reverse order.

No matter by what measures you proceed, the lower the floor you reach, the better your score.

Also, take these items.”

Xiao Tong handed out jade tokens to all participants, which would allow them to quickly exit the Demon Suppressing Tower.

In case of any untoward situation during battle, these items could save their lives.

“Of course, you may also form teams to venture in.”

After finishing, Xiao Tong activated a Great Formation, enveloping everyone in a brilliant azure light.

Long Yan faintly sensed this was a connected Formation, whose True Qi linked to the other side inside the Demon Suppressing Tower, likely the sole method to enter.

The people appeared inside the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The space on the inside wasn’t large, with barren surroundings devoid of anything.

Facing everyone’s inquisitive gazes, Xiao Tong smiled and counted.

“The ninth level of the Demon Suppressing Tower has no monsters, but starting from the eighth level down, it becomes filled with countless monsters.

As for how to find the Formation leading to the next level, it’s up to your choice.”

Having said that, Xiao Tong activated True Qi and opened the Formation to the next level for everyone.

The dim blue light flickered in the air.

Zhang Tiankun cast a provocative look at Long Yan and promptly stepped onto the Formation, vanishing from sight.

“Long Yan, how about we partner up?

It would be good to watch each other’s back.”

Ouyang Zhen looked at Long Yan as he proposed, concerned that if they faced monsters as enemies and with Zhang Tiankun covetously watching, Long Yan might not be able to handle it alone.

“Alright.”

Compared to others, a martial idiot like Ouyang Zhen was more worthy of Long Yan’s trust.

Traveling together also meant mutual support, so Long Yan did not oppose Ouyang Zhen’s suggestion.

As the two stepped onto the Formation, the surrounding environment underwent drastic change.

The originally pristine walls turned crimson, and they were crackling with cracks that faintly emitted a Golden Light.

A Blood River blocked the Road, and occasionally a couple of monsters roamed around.

These monsters possessed dragon horns and beastly bodies, covered in white fluff.

Even with Long Yan’s knowledge, he did not recognize what kind of monsters these were.

“This thing should be called ‘Bai Feng.'”

Ouyang Zhen, seeing Long Yan staring at the monsters in front of him, began to explain.

These monsters were Yin in nature, fond of eating infants, but their strength was average at best.

An average True God Fifth Stage could easily overpower such monsters, so it was reasonable for them to be placed on the eighth layer.

Without the need for Long Yan to act, Ouyang Zhen conjured a dazzling golden lion behind him.

With just a roar from the beast, all the Bai Feng hurriedly scattered.

The two continued down the Road when suddenly Ouyang Zhen exclaimed in shock.

There was actually a chest here.

Long Yan glanced at it, noticing a chest hidden in a blind spot along the Road.

Long Yan didn’t care much, thinking it might be a reward Feng Tianlu created for the participants of the competition.

But then, Long Yan had a second thought, feeling that something was off.

If Feng Tianlu intended to place treasure chests, they would certainly be placed where everyone could see them.

Why hide one in a blind spot?

This location seemed like it was meant for a surprise attack.

“Get back, that’s not a chest!”

Hearing Long Yan’s exclamation, Ouyang Zhen was taken aback.

If this wasn’t a chest, then what?

Long Yan clearly saw that the chest in the blind spot suddenly jumped up, and its huge commotion drew Long Yan’s attention.

The chest, with its gaping maw, lunged towards Ouyang Zhen.

Taken aback, Ouyang Zhen desperately tried to move his legs, but they felt as though they were glued to the ground, unable to budge even slightly.

At that moment, a Magic Gun gleaming with red radiance appeared above Ouyang Zhen’s head.

Like a God descending from the heavens, Long Yan flew over Ouyang Zhen’s head, fiercely stabbing the tip of his Magic Gun into the chest monster’s torso.

Green Fresh blood burst forth from where the Magic Gun penetrated.

Ouyang Zhen stared in astonishment at Long Yan’s figure, shocked.

What on earth was happening?

Why had the chest suddenly turned into a monster?

This was beyond Ouyang Zhen’s comprehension.

The chest monster was pinned to the ground by Long Yan, struggling endlessly, but to no avail, until at last it stopped moving.

Only then did Long Yan withdraw his Magic Gun.

“This…”

Ouyang Zhen was still frozen in place, having nearly lost his life moments ago.

He felt a secret relief for having escaped death; the chest turning out to be a monster was indeed a surprise for Ouyang Zhen.

“Thanks, I owe you my life.”

Ouyang Zhen laughed somewhat self-mockingly.

He had wanted to compete with Long Yan, but now, in this uppermost layer, he had been saved by Long Yan instead, leaving his heart feeling incredibly complex.

The green blood on the tip of the spear gradually seeped into the Qilin Blood Demon Gun.

Long Yan smiled nonchalantly.

“Be careful.”
