Chapter 107: The Crisis of the Heavenly Ladder

  Under the fierce and violent wind, walking on this narrow sky ladder feels no better than walking on a steel wire.

  Two thousand treasure-hunting disciples were divided into four groups, each on a heavenly ladder, with hundreds of people proceeding cautiously and slowly.

  Four roads seem to lead in different directions, perhaps the outcome is all the same, a road of no return...

  Su Che suddenly realized that Fei Yun had also stepped onto this heavenly ladder and was now standing at a position of thirty or so people behind him.

  "I don't know what method she came up with, but it actually made the people from the Phantom Demon Sect choose this Heavenly Ladder as well."

  Su had a nagging feeling in his heart, to be honest, he didn't want her to follow him because psychologically, he always felt that someone could sense his location, which wasn't a good thing at all.

  "Ah"

  Just as I was thinking about it, another mournful cry came from beside my ear.

  No choice, entering the small Misa realm, the miserable cries will inevitably become the theme song of this period.

  A young man in front of him was cut off at the waist by something and fell from the sky ladder, splitting into two pieces.

  How did he die? Was it caused by some unknown force again?

  This time, many people saw clearly that in the sky, a thread of black line was floating with the wind, very inconspicuous, like dust. Just now, one of the black threads blew onto the treasure hunter's body, and at that moment, even he himself didn't notice, but unexpectedly, a thin thread as fine as a spider silk cut him in half alive.

  "Oh no, my hand..."

  Another person was slightly careless and touched an almost imperceptible black thread with his right arm, and the part below his elbow fell into the abyss very neatly.

  "Beware of those black lines"

  Someone lowered their voice to remind fellow disciples of the same school.

  There were still people staring at the black thread that was about to blow onto their bodies, but on the narrow sky ladder, there was no room for dodging and hiding, so they had to take out their spiritual flying sword and slash at the black thread.

  A light, crisp sound, like the mournful cry of a flying sword, and the low-grade spiritual artifact flying sword was broken into two sections like tender vegetables; looking again at that black thread, it came intact with the wind, lightly floating to the person's eyes.

  He indeed deserved to be in the Great Perfection Realm of Cultivating Qi, reacting quickly, with nimble thinking, spouting out a strong gust of energy from his mouth, which actually blew that black thread into changing direction and floating towards someone else.

  That's right, since these black threads can float with the wind, using the wind power to deal with it should be the best way.

  The people around him were doing the same, each displaying their skills and creating a strong gust of wind to resist those black threads. Su Che was no exception.

  However, the combined strength of hundreds of Qigong practitioners is not to be underestimated either, and this has resulted in a confrontation with the strong winds here.

  "In Xianyu, Laohei immediately reminded: 'This won't do, we can't confront the natural environment here.'"

  "I know, but what can be done in this situation?" Su Che thought to himself: "These black threads don't even dare to touch them, and can only rely on the wind to blow them away."

  Just as he was saying that, the strong wind in the high sky suddenly stopped, and the sky suddenly darkened. Those black threads dancing in the air also disappeared all at once.

  Hundreds of people on the sky ladder didn't dare to stop, taking this opportunity to speed up their progress, but at the same time, they were also paying attention to the changes around them. Of course, there were also some impatient ones who kept urging the people in front to hurry up and walk faster...

  After walking only a dozen or so yards, the crowd heard a strange noise and looked up to see dense raindrops falling from the sky.

  Black raindrops

  Without a doubt, no one dared to let such raindrops come into contact with their bodies. In an instant, everyone took out their defensive treasures and swish-swish-swish, various colored protective shields appeared simultaneously. From afar, it looked like a half-transparent ribbon was tied up with colorful balls.

  Bang, bang, bang......

  Raindrops fell, lightly striking the protective cover, although not very powerful, but emitted a rustling sound of corrosion. Everyone immediately felt that the true energy in their body had begun to flow rapidly, indicating that the corrosive power of the black raindrops was quite frightening. Each person's defensive magic tools required a large amount of true energy to protect themselves completely.

  Sizzling...

  The piercing sound of corrosion echoed in everyone's ears, and it actually corroded the protective coverings of each person, emitting wisps of smoke. Everyone was greatly shocked, and at this moment, their thoughts were similar: "This is terrible, the rate of true energy loss is so fast, even if we constantly consume spiritual pills and medicines, it's still not enough to make up for the consumption..."

  Yes, taking Dan medicine to make up for the consumption of true energy indeed requires a process of medicinal power dissolving and absorbing transformation. The true energy consumed in one quarter of an hour, even if you take the best Dan medicine, often needs one or two hours to recover.

  The current situation depends on how long this heavenly ladder is and whether it can reach a relatively safe place before the true energy is exhausted. Otherwise, everyone will be corroded into a puddle of stinky water by the black raindrops.

  However, the "everyone" mentioned here does not include Su Che, because Su Che has a certain advantage that allows him to ignore this degree of true energy loss.

  In the Xianyu, Laohei sat on a black giant stone, and could simultaneously transmit both the Xianyu warm current and the Heishi clear current to Su Che, merging into a magical energy that could instantly activate the medicinal power of the Dilin Dan that had been suppressing Su Che.

  Under normal circumstances, according to Su Che's current cultivation strength, it would take at least ten hours to fully absorb the medicinal properties of a single Earth Spirit Pill. However, under the stimulation of the mysterious energy, more than an hour was enough to completely convert the medicinal properties into true energy. It was also because of this reason that his previous closed-door cultivation had achieved such rapid progress.

  At this moment, Su Chu also took a Ge Ling Dan and quickly transformed the medicinal power to make up for the consumption of his true energy, which was more than enough. Walking like this for ten or eight days, he didn't need to worry about anything.

  Su Che was carefree and at ease, while others were secretly suffering, and one person was particularly unbearable.

  The guy walking in front of Su Che was a junior member of the Tianxuan Sect's ruling family, and he only had a cultivation level of nine layers of Qi Refining. In response to the current crisis, it would definitely be more difficult for him than others. Nine layers of Qi Refining and the Great Perfection Realm seemed to be just one line apart, but in reality, their comprehensive strength differed by two times or more.

  After walking in the heavy rain for a short while, this guy was already unable to hold on. Suddenly, he turned his pale face to Su Che and said: "Su Shidi, I'm not going to make it, my true energy is almost depleted, help me out."

  "Swallow a few pills," Su Che said calmly.

  Su Che still hadn't forgotten that just now, at the moment he stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder, he was almost pushed into the abyss by this bastard. Although he wasn't a petty person who held grudges, he also couldn't turn around and help him.

  That guy replied with a bitter face: "There are many elixirs, I just ate a big handful, but they can't be digested in time."

  "It's none of your business if I have a stomach problem." Su Che replied with a hint of sarcasm, not even bothering to look at him straight.

  "You..."

  That guy was stunned on the spot, his originally pale and ugly face turned into a dead ash color. He was not only suffocated by Su Che, but also meant that the true energy in his body was almost exhausted.

  "Hurry up and walk, or else the people behind you will push you down." Su Che didn't care about his reaction at all, but instead urged him again.

  If he were a good person, Su Che thought that it would be okay to help him out as long as it didn't harm his own interests. But with his moral character, why should he?

  "Alright, alright, alright!" The guy's eyes gleamed with a mad light, and although his feet hadn't stopped moving, he suddenly reached into the Qiankun bag and pulled out a deep purple orb. Gnashing his teeth, he growled, "If you don't help me, we'll both end up dead together! Do you know what I'm holding?"

  Su Che took a casual glance and guessed it, it was certainly a kind of powerful thunder bead. On that day, Zhen Zhen, who was seriously injured, used such a thunder bead to blow up the bald-headed demon cultivator with strength close to the Golden Dan period into a piece of charcoal. This thing, at this critical moment, indeed has the deterrent power of jade and stone being destroyed together.

  Su Che's expression changed suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

  "Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer." The guy lowered his voice and shouted hoarsely: "I'll count to three, if you still don't help me, we're both done for!"

  His words, however, scared the several Tianxuan Sect disciples who were following Su Che, and they immediately slowed down their pace, wanting to pull open a safe distance, lest they get implicated when the city gate catches fire.

  These few people slowed down their pace, and of course the people behind them were not happy, instantly causing a long string of people to start muttering in low voices, urging them on repeatedly.

  At this critical moment, everyone is struggling to hold on, wanting to move faster and leave this damn ladder as soon as possible...

  "Alright."

  Su Che finally nodded and said: "I can help you, but..."

  The guy in front of him relaxed his expression, thinking that Su Che had finally compromised, but unexpectedly...

  Bang

  Su Che suddenly launched an attack, his left hand using the "Qigong Quan" technique to unexpectedly snatch the Lei Zhu from his opponent's hand; at the same time, his right foot flew out in a kick, heavily stomping on the opponent's protective energy shield.

  "Ah"

  That guy's cultivation strength was originally weaker than Su Che, and at this moment he had already exhausted his energy, unable to withstand Su Che's vigorous and violent attack. It was such a simple kick that sent him flying up, and in mid-air, his protective aura dissipated like foam.

  "Ah..."

  A dense black raindrop suddenly fell on his body, and in an instant, the whole person burst into thick black smoke.

  When he fell into the abyss, trapped in thick fog, and was about to escape from everyone's sight, he had already turned into a terrifying skull with black and red stripes. But he could still scream like a slaughtered pig, which shows how terrible it is for his flesh to be corroded...

  "It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one, that's all I can do for you..." Su Che didn't stop moving his feet as he finally finished what he was saying earlier, and at the same time, he also put away the Lei Pearl he had just snatched.

  The several Tianxuan Sect disciples behind him were also silent, without any objection to Su Che's approach, because if they were in his shoes, they would do the same. That guy was indeed a junior of the sect master, but he was simply a piece of crap, unable to achieve anything good...
