Before long, a short, elderly man in a golden robe appeared on the platform.
The old man's gaze swept over Xiao Tian, Feng Qing'er, and the others, and he pondered, "I am Jin Shi, the patriarch of the Jin Shi -Gold-Devouring Rat Clan. First of all, congratulations on arriving here. According to the rules of Tianmu Mountain, you will only be able to obtain one of the eight spots for the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool if you pass our test."
As Jin Shi coughed softly, countless, densely packed, and terrifyingly numerous Gold-Devouring Rat Clan appeared around the stone steps leading to the mountaintop. They were enough to make anyone with trypophobia shudder.
"This test involves reaching the mountaintop via the sonic waves of the rat horde. You have ten minutes to prepare. According to the rules, if there are fewer than the required number of successful candidates, the remaining spots will be filled by drawing lots." With that, Jin Shi departed.
Nalan Yanran said to Xiao Tian, " Wei Zhuang, the sonic waves of the Gold-Devouring Rat ignore Dou Qi Armor and penetrate into the mind, causing hallucinations and dizziness. It's extremely strange."
"To get through, you'd either have to rely on sheer willpower to force your way through, or use sonic Dou Technique to fight your way through."
Xiao Tian couldn't help but blink. Sonic Dou Technique —why didn't he learn one back then?
I wonder if the Heaven-Equaling Divine Ability: Copper Head and Iron Arms can work, but I'm also afraid of revealing my identity.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian's eyes lit up. He could use that move!
" Wei Zhuang, I'm afraid I can't withstand so many sonic attacks. You go."
Xiao Tian looked at Nalan Yanran and couldn't help but sneer, "What are you afraid of? I'll take you there."
At this moment, in the spotlight of countless eyes, Feng Qing'er arrived, her beautiful face as cold as frost, and said in a chilling voice, " Wei Zhuang, is this your junior sister?"
Xiao Tian glanced at Feng Qing'er and chuckled, "What do you have to do with the beauties of the Wind Lightning Pavilion? What, you want a beating?"
Feng Qing'er's expression was icy cold as she snorted, " Wei Zhuang, although you are powerful, even with your strange methods, you cannot protect your junior sister within the Rat Tide Sonic Wave Formation unless you possess powerful sonic Dou Technique."
"Then I won't trouble you, beautiful lady."
Xiao Tian grabbed Nalan Yanran's hand and pulled her away, saying, "Let's get away. This woman likes to ambush people all the time; I'm afraid I might not be able to resist killing her."
Feng Qing'er couldn't help but stomp her foot, recalling the powerlessness she felt when facing Wei Zhuang, and felt extremely angry.
Meanwhile, Wang Chen of the Yellow Springs Pavilion had a face as black as the bottom of a pot, feeling that Wei Zhuang was doing it on purpose and was saying it to him.
The powerful figures around them couldn't help but whisper among themselves, looking at Xiao Tian and Nalan Yanran with astonishment.
"That person's eyes are so peculiar. I wonder what their connection is to the rumored blood-eyed youth who joined forces with Xiao Tian to kill Fei Tian of the Wind Lightning North Pavilion."
"There must be a connection, otherwise why would Miss Feng be so hostile?"
Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes swept over the whispering crowd, and she said coldly, " Wei Zhuang is Wei Zhuang, and he has nothing to do with those two enemies of our Wind Lightning Pavilion."
Many people were shocked!
Xiao Tian was astonished. He hadn't expected Feng Qing'er to clear his name. What a wonderful woman! Wow! He was so moved he cried!
Nalan Yanran was utterly astonished when she learned the truth. Looking at Xiao Tian, who remained unfazed, she inwardly sighed at how good he was at deceiving people.
"Time's up! You only have one hour left! Everyone, let's begin!"
Many people on the platform used their Dou Qi spirit to protect themselves and rushed up the stone steps. Xiao Tian only noticed that the visible sound waves within the rat swarm knocked down one powerful person after another, and many people retreated from the stone steps with pain on their faces.
Some, though they managed to hold on, bled from all seven orifices and died tragically on the stone steps!
In just half a minute, the stone steps were covered in blood!
