A group of cultivators with broken tendons and bones were constantly twisting on the steel pipe. Two people in the central crowd holding the steel pipe had already passed out. Even though they were unconscious, they were still holding the steel pipe and spinning and flipping with their eyes closed. The dance moves of the steel pipe dance couldn't be interrupted. All that could be broken were their limbs.
Scared and miserable howls rose and fell among these more than thirty people. Pei Xiong was still helplessly calling for that non-existent senior. The remaining dozens of people who hadn't been affected stood on the periphery, trembling with fear and not daring to move.
At first, everyone thought this was a scheme set by the Blood Killing Hall. But now, seeing that even the Law Enforcement Elder of the Blood Killing Hall was in trouble, they were at a loss. Who on earth was this powerful person committing the attack?
Xu Shan had completely calmed down. From the initial slight shock, as the scene became more and more tragic, it turned into ecstasy! The steel pipe dance... was indeed powerful! He had originally thought that it could only be used as a means to intimidate the enemy or to stir up trouble. But now it seemed that it was completely capable of evolving into an offensive skill! Although the usage conditions were a bit harsh.
People within a radius of five meters of the steel pipe would be sucked onto the steel pipe. People within a radius of fifty meters would be sucked onto the "seats" or become waiters. He saw it clearly.
However, there was still one doubt... Xu Shan conjured up a fireball in his hand and threw it hard in the direction of the steel pipe. Unexpectedly, as soon as the fireball flew into the coverage area of the steel pipe dance, with a "pop" sound, it turned into a bunch of colorful ribbons and fluttered down from the air.
Damn it, there's more to it? Xu Shan was extremely surprised. Then he took out a flying sword he had captured in the Bone - Melting Cave and threw it from a distance. The flying sword whooshed into the range of the steel pipe dance. As soon as it reached the fifty - meter mark, it instantly lost its power and fell down according to inertia.
"Ah!!! Who the hell is attacking with hidden weapons! Don't be sneaky. Come out and fight me now!!" An unfortunate cultivator on the "seat" was pierced through the thigh by the sword that fell from the sky for no reason. He was already panicking, and this made him collapse instantly...
Xu Shan sighed inwardly. People trapped inside couldn't be attacked. Spells would turn into colorful ribbons, and magic tools would lose control. But... neutralizing the attacks would also consume his spiritual power. As a defensive means, without the spiritual crystal cores, its effect wasn't very significant. Even if there were too many opponents or the attack intensity was too high, the spiritual power of his spiritual roots might be sucked up by the steel pipe. It would be better if it couldn't be used for defense.
With a fifty - meter radius, he was completely confident that he could nail the steel pipe under the opponent's feet outside the coverage area of the steel pipe dance and then wear the opponent down slowly. However, he was already extremely satisfied with this effect, and he also had an unexpected discovery.
More than eighty Foundation Establishment cultivators trapped in the steel pipe dance consumed far less spiritual power than one Nascent Soul cultivator. And when Pei Xiong entered, he alone could be equivalent to the spiritual power consumption of forty Foundation Establishment cultivators. If there were no accidents, he should be at the Golden Core realm, but it was not known exactly at what level.
Even so, with this data, in the future, when he used the Qingyin items against the enemy, he could be much more precise.
After a simple analysis, Xu Shan squeezed out a terrified expression and turned around and ran towards the end point!
Soon, Xu Shan reached the round platform, and more than a dozen people reached it with him. Just as the noisy music ended, the steel pipe was taken back. When the steel pipe disappeared, dozens of people fell to the ground out of thin air.
All these people were pale - faced and at a loss. Among the more than thirty people in the middle, more or less, they were all injured. The serious ones had broken tendons and bones, and the less serious ones had black and blue faces from being kicked. As for the people on the "seats", after a short period of panic, they fled in all directions, ignoring the injured.
The woman gritted her teeth, looking at the chaotic scene with her nerves on edge. Xu Shan was standing right beside her. This woman had a pair of willow - shaped eyes and thin lips. She looked a bit mean, but the aura she exuded was even stronger than Pei Xiong's. He didn't know what her identity was in the Blood Killing Hall.
Pei Xiong flew back to the woman with a pale face and said with lingering fear, "Honored Envoy, has that evil cultivator left?"
The woman shook her head, and her aura didn't weaken at all. "I don't know. This person came too strangely... Suddenly attacking and seriously injuring so many people, he should not have left yet."
Pei Xiong nodded, focused all his attention, and filled himself with spiritual power, ready to face the enemy.
At present, less than twenty people had passed the trial. Except for some seriously injured people who couldn't move at all, the rest had all run away.
Xu Shan, like the others, held his sword and watched vigilantly in the direction of where the steel pipe had been before, accompanying these people to search for the enemy in the void.
After more than twenty minutes.
The woman let out a long sigh and analyzed calmly, "He should have left. Maybe it was just a whim of an evil cultivator passing by."
"Aren't evil cultivators all in the deep areas? Why would they come here?" Pei Xiong asked.
"How would I know? How many people have seen evil cultivators? I should go. You deal with the rest yourself." The woman was very annoyed in her heart. She straightened up and turned her gaze to Xu Shan. She secretly thought to herself that she was lucky. Fortunately, this good candidate hadn't been involved by the evil cultivator. Otherwise, she didn't know where to find the next one.
Seeing that the so - called Honored Envoy was looking at him, Xu Shan felt a little nervous. This woman's identity was extraordinary... What was she looking at him for?
The woman opened her mouth and asked, "You're Xu Xian?"
Xu Xian said, "That's right, I'm Xu Xian, your disciple."
"Good. You performed well in the trials. From now on, you don't have to stay in the Blood Killing Hall. Come with me to the Zhenhai Sect and be trained as a disciple."
As soon as these words came out, the people around looked envious, and the cultivator who had reached the round platform first was even more indignant.
"I want to join the Blood Killing Hall... but the Zhenhai Sect?" Xu Shan asked doubtfully.
What a stubborn person! The woman found it a bit funny. "You'd rather join the Blood Killing Hall than directly go to the Zhenhai Sect?"
Xu Shan hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Pei Xiong suddenly said, "Xu Xian, the Blood Killing Hall is one of the five halls under the Zhenhai Sect. The main sect has taken a fancy to you. It's your good fortune."
"The Honored Envoy came here personally from the main sect to select disciples from each hall. You should just go with her."
"Disciple, I'm not the most powerful. I don't know what the Honored Envoy saw in me?" Xu Shan said in a low voice.
The woman said, "That's right. Your realm is not the highest, but we've all seen your performance in the trials. The cultivation techniques of the sect emphasize compatibility with the cultivator. You are exactly the disciple suitable for the cultivation techniques of the Zhenhai Sect. If you're lucky this time, you might even get to meet the Sect Master in person. Do you have any more questions?"
Xu Shan shook his head, and at the same time, his heart was beating faster. There really were monitors. Fortunately, he had been vigilant. He had used the towel twice in the Bone - Melting Cave, but at first glance, outsiders definitely couldn't tell anything was wrong, and the steel pipe had also intimidated these two people.
Was it just his luck? Impossible! There's no way someone would be transferred from a branch company to the head office before even starting work. That's ridiculous! This was the Demonic Path in the Southern Border. There seemed to be quite a few crazy people doing human experiments. They might even want to take his organs.
After a moment of rapid thinking, Xu Shan clasped his fists and agreed, "I'm extremely honored to be able to join the Zhenhai Sect!"
He couldn't refuse on the spot. He would find an opportunity to ask later and he would know... If there really were problems, he could just join another faction.
Seeing that he was sensible, the woman rarely showed a smile. "Good, then come with me now."
