Green-Robed, Long Time No See (2)

With a deafening roar, the longsword encircling its body suddenly exploded, transforming into countless sword shadows. Even more bizarrely, the broken swords scattered on the ground were also swept up by a force and hung horizontally in mid-air.

Li Wei's forehead was instantly covered in sweat. Even from more than ten meters away, he could still feel the chilling sword intent.

"This Zombie Sword Immortal is even stronger than me in the art of sword control!"

This was the conclusion Li Wei drew instantly. It was clear that the Zombie Sword Immortal must have been a powerful figure who dominated a region before his death, and therefore, he would still remember the sword technique after his death.

Judging by sight, there were at least a thousand, if not tens of thousands, of sword shadows and broken swords floating in the air. If all these swords were to rush at us all at once, there would be no other way but to Shifting Forms and Changing Positions.

In the blink of an eye, the Zombie Sword Immortal changed his hand seals and shouted, "Go!"

The thousands of sword shadows in the air seemed to be driven by thousands of masters, converging into a giant sword dragon that charged towards him.

To flee or to fight?

Li Wei had very little time to consider. In an instant, Li Wei grinned maliciously and held the greatsword 'Beast Soul' across his back. This time, he knew he couldn't run away. Although Shifting Forms and Changing Positions was a life-saving technique, relying on it too much would greatly reduce his combat power and cause him to gradually lose his strong will.

Every strong person improves themselves in life-or-death battles.

Therefore, we must not run away!

Moreover, they still don't know what happened inside the Demon-Locking Tower, or where the Green-Robed Sword Immortal went. So, under no circumstances can they escape.

Upon reaching this point, Li Wei concentrated all his power into his fist, and immediately his right fist emitted visible ripples.

At that moment, the swords were less than two meters away from Li Wei.

"Shockwave Fist, tearing through the air!"

With a sudden punch, the air within a few meters in front of Li Wei was shattered. In this shattered air, the longswords seemed to encounter some kind of obstruction and came to a halt.

Li Wei's Shockwave Fist was only just beginning to unleash its full power.

Boom!

The entire air trembled violently, and the broken swords were shattered into pieces by the intense vibrations.

Li Wei was panting heavily; this punch had almost exhausted all his strength. This Nameless Fist, obtained from the manuscript of Bodhidharma, was indeed domineering and extraordinary. However, the internal energy it consumed was also inexhaustible. But in any case, the opponent's 'Ten Thousand Swords Art' was blocked.

Seeing that the Zombie Sword Immortal was about to continue forming hand seals to attack, Li Wei directly unleashed a Finger Thunder strike.

Snap!

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a finger, flashed across a distance of over ten meters and struck the Zombie Sword Immortal. The creature seemed terrified of lightning, letting out a scream the instant it struck.

Li Wei knew that A-level combatants, whether human or monster, could not be killed by Finger Thunder alone. So, the instant he unleashed the Finger Thunder, he rushed forward, his Beast Soul slashing fiercely at the Zombie Sword Immortal's waist.

Advanced zombies are monsters with skin and bones of copper and iron, and the one Li Wei encountered was clearly the best of the best. However, its powerful defense was completely ineffective against the Greatsword Beast Soul.

Under the sweeping attack of the Beast Soul, the Zombie Sword Immortal was like a block of tofu, easily cut in two. And at the moment of its annihilation, the green light attached to the sword immortal's body vanished into thin air.

"Where did this monster come from?" Li Wei looked at the corpse on the ground and began to search this floor carefully.

He remembered very clearly that he and the Green-Robed Sword Immortal had completely eliminated all the monsters here. However, after Li Wei searched the entire 'One' Realm, he couldn't find the Green-Robed Sword Immortal. Instead, there were many more monsters, including female ghosts and Wraith. Of course, under the lightning, they no longer posed any threat.

Having located the black boundary marker in the center, Li Wei's confusion deepened.

"Something must have happened. There are no signs of damage to the Demon-Locking Tower. Basically, without a spatial technique like Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, it's impossible to get out of here. Besides, that Zombie Sword Immortal doesn't seem like a monster on this floor. So... there's only one possibility!"

Li Wei looked down and said, "The woman in green has found a passage to other tower levels. That's the only explanation!"

The Zombie Sword Immortal likely entered when the passage was opened, but the question now is, where is that passage? When I entered this place back then, I searched everywhere, but there were no hidden doors or mechanisms.

That means that passage wasn't found by blindly stumbling around or by chance.

Moreover, he himself had said back then that he would return one day, and even if the Green-Robed Sword Immortal left this place, he should have left some clues behind.

Yes, this surname is likely very common.

Li Wei immediately searched again and, sure enough, found a scratch on a stone slab.

It was a cross-shaped mark, and below the mark was a stone slab, covered in dust, probably due to its age.

Li Wei's heart stirred, and after squatting down to wipe the stone slab clean, his face lit up with joy.

"Found it!"

This stone slab was different from the surrounding stone slabs; its color was a jade-like white, and it was covered with mysterious runes. However, Li Wei recognized these runes; they were the unique teleportation runes found in teleportation arrays.

This time, Li Wei stepped on it without hesitation. There was a palm print-like protrusion under the stone slab, and Li Wei directly placed his handprint on it.

Suddenly, the stone slab emitted a tingling light. In an instant, Li Wei felt as if he had been thrown up heavily. The feeling of weightlessness and swaying was extremely uncomfortable, but it only lasted for a moment.

When the light faded, Li Wei found himself still standing on the stone slab, but the surroundings were clearly no longer in the 'One' Realm.

Because there were two Zombie Sword Immortal less than ten meters away from Li Wei.

There's only one path leading to the opposite side; to get through, you must defeat these two Zombie Sword Immortal.

Before his opponents could spot him, Li Wei charged forward, wielding his Beast Soul. Once close, Li Wei, wielding his greatsword, was virtually invincible. With just two consecutive slashes, he killed the two Zombie Sword Immortal.

After searching this level for a while, Li Wei discovered that it was significantly larger than the 'First' Realm, and of course, the monsters there were also much stronger.

Zombie Sword Immortal are the most numerous type of monster.

They are both male and female, and their appearances are all different, but they have one thing in common: they all know the move "Mount Shu Ten Thousand Swords Art".

Just as Li Wei was wondering why this Skill Book wasn't dropping, a green Treasure Chest suddenly appeared on the body of a Zombie Sword Immortal that had just been killed.

"Got it!"

Li Wei hurried over, picked up the Treasure Chest, opened it, and found a fragment of a scroll inside.

"The third part of the Mount Shu Ten Thousand Swords Art manual: After collecting all four fragments, you will obtain the skill Ten Thousand Swords Art!"

It's just a fragment? So, this is a skill that can only be learned by collecting all the fragments. Li Wei knew that skills divided into several fragments were actually very difficult to collect because they were randomly generated. Therefore, after killing many Zombie Sword Immortal, he might only get a bunch of identical fragments. This kind of thing often happened in games. Of course, in games, some people would collect identical fragments and sell them at a high price. Presumably, he could do the same in Shadow Street.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Swords Art is an intermediate skill in the Sword Control Method. If he could obtain it, that would be the best outcome. Even if he couldn't collect all the fragments, Li Wei wouldn't feel too frustrated, since he actually didn't lack skills.

After carefully putting away the tattered scroll, Li Wei continued onward. Of course, if he encountered more than two Zombie Sword Immortal, Li Wei would choose to detour, since they were all A-level combatants and would definitely not be as easy to deal with as he imagined.

Finally, Li Wei arrived at the center of this floor, a large open space. In the middle, just like in the 'One' realm, stood a black stone tablet. Even from a distance, the character 'Two' could be seen on it.

In other words, this is the 'second' realm.

Beneath the black stone tablet, Li Wei saw several people sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if meditating.

One of them, dressed in green and with a beautiful face, was none other than the Green-Robed Sword Immortal that Li Wei was looking for.

Around her were two men and a woman, but upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the figures of the two men and the woman were somewhat illusory, indistinguishable from those of ghosts.

At the same time, the group, including the Green-Robed Sword Immortal, also spotted Li Wei.

"It's really strange that someone could come here!" One of the male ghosts, one of the two men and one woman, chuckled and opened his eerie eyes to stare at Li Wei.

"Blood Demon, are you blind? That's clearly a demon! Haha, there are demons in the Demon-Locking Tower, what's so strange about that?" Another male ghost said to Blood Demon, who had spoken first, as if deliberately looking for trouble.

"Pah, Old Pig Demon, I told you he's human, what can you do to me?" The Blood Demon's voice was as eerie as if it came from the deepest abyss.

"You..." The male ghost, called the Old Pig Demon, was so angry that his face turned ashen and he couldn't speak.

The other female ghost opened her eyes and said to the Green-Robed Sword Immortal closest to her, "Green Conch, you've lost again. This isn't the person you're waiting for, so you'll have to stay here with us!"

The Green-Robed Sword Immortal, also known as Green Conch, remained expressionless and silent, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

After a long silence, she finally spoke, "Since this person isn't the one I'm waiting for, I'll accept my loss and stay here with you!"

But Green Conch had a completely different thought.

Inside this Demon-Locking Tower, humans, ghosts, demons, monsters, and immortals are all the same. Even if one successfully cultivates to the point of immortality, one still cannot escape.

Thinking of Li Wei, who had dragged her into this whole affair, Green Conch sighed softly.

"I wonder how he's doing. Why hasn't he come to see me in so long? Could it be that he's encountered some danger? Or perhaps he's forgotten me..." These were the thoughts that Green Snail pondered most.
