Chapter 1093 Clash (Subscription Wanted)_1
```
Could it be that the two men before her were also intruders who had come here back then, but their luck was not so good, as they happened to fall at the very stairway where she now stood...
Afterward, they were bound to this place by the powerful force of the space, forcing the remnants of their souls to merge with the stairway, becoming part of it...
With this thought, Xu Sheng narrowed her eyes and said, "Presumably, both of you must have perished here, correct?"
Upon hearing these words, the faces of the two men suddenly turned grim, but they did not outright deny it!
One of the men, with a complicated look in his eyes, faced Xu Sheng and said, "Your observational skills are indeed not bad, to guess our identities from such a brief exchange. Yes, we were also intruders back then!"
"After entering this Xuanming Domain, by some stroke of luck, we found this place, but out of excessive greed, we sought to continually break through to the upper stairways, to increase the speed of our spiritual power cultivation. But then..."
Before he could finish, a look of fear spread across his face...
The other man frowned and reminded him, "We've already told you so much, kid, leave now! We can't maintain our sanity for long!"
The reason they had spoken in a hostile tone earlier was to drive Xu Sheng away, to prevent her from repeating their mistakes!
The stairways above are far more terrifying than those below, and in the entire Cultivation World, it would be hard to find a single person capable of passing through such a place!
With a smile, Xu Sheng clasped her fists and said, "Thank you for the warning, seniors, but I have reasons I must go up!"
Upon hearing this, the two men in front of her pressed their thin lips together...
They were ready to let him pass through this level while they still had some sanity left, but in the next moment, their pupils abruptly contracted, and their bodies shook violently a few times...
In an instant, the light patterns imbued with Sealing Force started to appear on their limbs and spread out at an extremely fast pace...
The intense pain made them scream involuntarily...
"Aaaaargh! It's too late!! Run!!"
"Get out of here quickly, our strength will be much greater once we're controlled, aaaargh!!"
However, after these words, the last trace of sanity in the two men had been completely swallowed up. They shook their heads a few times, and then with their inhuman, icy gazes, they looked at Xu Sheng...
In unison, they coldly shouted, "Intruder, die!"
In an instant, they both gripped the Light Swords that radiated a terrifying chill and charged at Xu Sheng, swinging their swords down at her...
Upon seeing this, Xu Sheng's dark eyes sharpened, and she instantly transformed her spiritual power into a Personal Sword to block the incoming attack...
A loud "bang!" resounded!
Xu Sheng felt an enormous oppressive force surge towards her, causing her to retreat dozens of steps down the stairway...
Even her arms were numbed by the tremendous force...
Catching a glimpse of her trembling arms, Xu Sheng's expression soured by a few degrees...
Fighting on the stairway, she had no advantage whatsoever. She not only had to fend off the attacks from the two men but also had to resist the overwhelming pressure...
If she were slightly careless, all her efforts would come to naught!
However, the two controlled men on the other side did not give her the slightest chance to catch her breath, as they stepped forward and charged towards Xu Sheng once more...
When they left the stairway they were on, an anomaly suddenly occurred...
Without any warning, a terrifying repelling force erupted, directly blasting the two men several steps away, just barely stabilizing their figures...
Remaining in place, they watched Xu Sheng coldly...
Their bodies, constructed of spiritual power, also stopped dissipating...
```
Xu Sheng, having clarified these details below, thought to himself, "So it's like this, they can only move toward the higher-level staircase, but some force prevents them from reaching the lower level?"
Unfortunately, it was impossible to make them disappear by delaying time!
As long as he did not enter that level of the staircase, the spiritual power that formed their bodies would not suffer any loss...
The only option at present was to use body movement martial techniques to dodge the attacks as much as possible on that short stretch of staircase!
As for why not kill them...
It was simple, because their essence was the soul, even if the attack hit, it would have no effect on them!
With this in mind, Xu Sheng showed no hesitation, took a deep breath, and once again stepped onto the staircase he had previously been on!
Almost as soon as his feet touched the staircase, the two armored men clenched their light swords and dived towards him again...
After getting close to Xu Sheng, one of the men swung his light sword without hesitation...
"Whizz~~~" The harsh sound of the wind rose, whipping up a gale...
If he were hit, it would be fatal!
Xu Sheng, aware of this, used the highest level body movement martial technique he knew, narrowly avoiding the huge light sword and dodging the attack by a hair's breadth...
But before he could feel any relief, the attack from the other man was already coming head-on...
Xu Sheng rolled backward, coping with an even stronger force, dodging the sneak attack...
He continuously analyzed in his heart, "Their attacks are very strong, but they lack rhythm and anticipation, and they can't use martial techniques!"
As long as he was careful and used body movement martial techniques, even on this narrow staircase, he was confident that he could last until their spiritual power was exhausted and they disappeared!
...
Meanwhile, Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, having re-entered the Xuanming Domain, followed a very safe route to the side of the secret realm they were originally in...
Their gazes swept the surroundings, continually releasing spiritual power to sense around, hoping to capture some traces of Xu Sheng!
But the result was clear, they found nothing!
Duanmu Lian said with an anxious expression, "Damn it! Where on earth did Xu Sheng go? Why can't we sense his spirit force fluctuation? Could something have happened to him?"
Zhou Qingruo, beside her, spoke in a cold, soothing voice, "Don't panic. The Xuanming Domain is so vast, and Xu Sheng is very familiar with this place; he shouldn't have run into trouble. He's probably reached the place he wanted to go to!"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lian felt not only unassuaged but even more anxious...
She clenched her fist and said, "What should we do then? If we can't find Xu Sheng, won't this trip be in vain? Dammit!"
Zhou Qingruo glanced at her, "Panicking is useless. Currently, we don't have anything that can sense Xu Sheng's... wait!"
She cut off her own words halfway...
Suddenly, those amber Beautiful Eyes lit up dramatically...
It seemed she did indeed have an item that could sense Xu Sheng!
She quickly took out her Storage Cosmos Bag, and when she looked at that familiar item...
Her heart couldn't help but feel much steadier...
