Chapter 2182 - 2182 2172 The Way a Strong One Should Be

2182: Chapter 2172: The Way a Strong One Should Be 2182: Chapter 2172: The Way a Strong One Should Be Long Yan, of course, didn’t know what was happening on Feng Tianlu’s end.

He had already stepped onto two Floating Platforms, averaging one Floating Platform per Monster.

By now, Ouyang Zhen had encountered more than five or six monsters that are rarely seen.

After killing one monster, Long Yan actually discovered that behind this monster, in the treasure chest, there was something like the Penglai Immortal Fruit.

It should be known that the Penglai Immortal Fruit, unlike the previously mentioned Rat Fruit, is said to have the power to bring people back from the dead.

Even Long Yan, with all his experience, had never seen it before, and unexpectedly found this immortal fruit today within the Demon Suppressing Tower.

This discovery could not be said to be anything but lucky, but the exact use of the Penglai Immortal Fruit was not very well known, and Long Yan also didn’t know the effect of this thing, so he just put it into his pocket first.

Long Yan couldn’t help but sigh, Feng Tianlu truly had a lot of good things, actually having the Penglai Immortal Fruit as a reward for this Third Level.

What the rewards afterward would be, he was somewhat looking forward to.

If the Rat Fruit is simply considered expensive, then this Penglai Immortal Fruit is a priceless treasure, something that can’t be purchased even with Mysterious Lingdan.

The atmosphere around started to become tense.

Long Yan had a bad feeling in his heart.

The previous two levels each had a guardian of the Teleportation Array, and Long Yan didn’t know what kind of monster would be the guardian of this level.

As the Floating Platform marked with the character for shock slowly drifted above the first platform, Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen rested briefly on the spot, preparing to handle the upcoming battle.

Ouyang Zhen did not know what exactly Long Yan was planning to do, but instinctively he felt it was not wrong to follow Long Yan.

Having recovered some True Qi, just as Long Yan was about to step onto the platform marked ‘death’, Ouyang Zhen stopped him.

“Didn’t we initially avoid the one with ‘death’ because it’s an inauspicious sign?”

He still hesitated a bit, but wanted to persuade Long Yan.

He had a bad premonition, sensing that the place led by ‘death’ definitely wouldn’t be good.

Long Yan just smiled at Ouyang Zhen’s words, although this confused Ouyang completely, it gave Ouyang a great deal of confidence.

“If death it is, then so be it.”

After saying that, Ouyang Zhen took the lead and walked onto the platform marked with ‘death’.

Seeing Ouyang Zhen’s actions, Long Yan just laughed lightly, thinking that Ouyang seemed more timid than he had imagined.

The location of this platform required much longer travel than all previous ones.

Ouyang Zhen’s heart was continually anxious, the color of the Blood River around them started turning deeper, and some blue stones appeared at the sides.

“It seems these are the works of the previous mechanisms.”

Long Yan looked deeply at the embedded segment in the wall, likely the craft behind the earlier noises, feeling somewhat fortunate in his heart.

Lucky that he knew the Eight Trigrams’ Escape Technique, otherwise would have been stumbling around headlessly like a fly in chaos, not knowing when he could have reached here.

Neither had expected this level’s Space to be so vast.

Having floated for such a long time, they still hadn’t seen the end of the Blood River.

Seeing Ouyang Zhen clutching the jade token with a wary look, Long Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Long Yan laughing at him, Ouyang Zhen felt uncomfortable but did not mind it.

After all, in such a place, being more cautious meant having more capital to save one’s life.

During the previous cultivation in his last life, Long Yan was just as cautious as Ouyang Zhen, yet he still couldn’t defend against his own brothers.

The funniest part is, this lifetime he climbed to even higher heights, saw even more beautiful vistas, and still yearns to climb higher.

He has obtained the Martial God Array, but at the same time also encountered numerous troubles.

Looking back, all this seemed just like a dream, as if the things from his previous life had nothing to do with him.

Thinking this, Long Yan gently patted Ouyang Zhen on the shoulder, knowing that danger isn’t something you can simply defend against to prevent; only by possessing greater strength can one truly be immune to the threat of death.

After hearing Long Yan’s words, Ouyang Zhen appeared contemplative.

He had always been a genius within the Heaven and Earth Gang, and his strength amongst the God Kings was quite noteworthy, yet he felt he was no match for Long Yan, perhaps he couldn’t even withstand a single move from him.

Perhaps this was the difference between two people.

Ouyang Zhen sighed lightly, thinking how a flower grown in a greenhouse could never bloom the most beautiful flowers; without the test of life and death, one could never truly become a Strong One.

While the two were conversing, a large Floating Platform appeared before them far off, resembling another small world within the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Like the path behind this Floating Platform looked like that of a cave, which was somewhat puzzling—what could have been the original design concept of the Demon Suppressing Tower?

The two stood outside the cave, almost sure that the path chosen by Long Yan was correct, and that this cave likely led to the next level.

“Roar!”

A beastly roar came from within the cave, resembling something like a lion or a tiger, as a large figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

“This…

can’t be a Qilin, can it?”

The moment they saw the large figure, Ouyang Zhen wanted to crush the jade token in his hand and flee, because the creature before him resembled the Qilin he had seen only in paintings.

Long Yan also instantly released streaks of Golden Light from his body, and under the full force of the Martial God Array, his clothes couldn’t withstand the immense Power and shattered into pieces.

With Long Yan’s clothes bursting, Ouyang Zhen felt completely flustered.

What was happening?

Surely Long Yan wasn’t conceited enough to want to fight a Qilin?

That’s one of the most formidable God-Beasts between heaven and earth.

How could just the two of them possibly defeat such a being?

“Look closely, that is not a Qilin.”

Long Yan said softly, although the creature in front of them looked like a Qilin, a real Qilin, even a young one, would not be this weak.

Of course, this wasn’t just some illusory shadow of a Qilin, the creature before them was definitely real.

Regarding this creature, Long Yan had once seen it described in a book.

Dragon’s mouth, lion’s head, ox’s tail – this God-Beast had its own name: the Bishui Golden-eyed Beast.

Even if it wasn’t a Qilin, dealing with the Bishui Golden-eyed Beast wouldn’t be easy; however, a hint of fighting spirit surged within Long Yan’s eyes.

It had been a while since he truly fought a full-on battle, and though he had faced life and death situations before, going all out in an instant was a first.

Looking at the Golden Light emanating from Long Yan, Ouyang Zhen could only look up to him.

When he saw the blazing fighting spirit burning in Long Yan’s eyes, he also couldn’t help but shiver, wondering: is this the true face of Long Yan?

“Look closely, I may not be a strong one, but this is what a cultivator should be like!”
