108 PK! (Seeking 1 recommendation vote!)

  Ye Chen carefully made his way through the corridor, sneaking past over two hundred yards.

  Apart from using water-based stealth to completely conceal all his auras, he couldn't make the slightest sound to startle the Phantom Beast, so Ye Chen's speed wasn't fast.

  After a brief moment of effort, he passed by several phantom wolves with sturdy physiques as big as calves.

  These phantom wolves paced back and forth in the corridor, their cyan-black fluffy fur, sturdy limbs treading on the ground almost silently, their ferocious wolf eyes gleaming with a pale green light as they looked around, their noses sniffing restlessly.

  In a long corridor, there were ten such phantom wolves.

  Ye Chen passed by the side of Huan Yao Lang with a start.

  The Phantom Wolves were second-rate phantom beasts, their strength was enough to match that of a fourth-layer Qi Refining cultivator. With their defensive capabilities and robust vitality, Ye Chen found it difficult to kill them in a short period of time. Moreover, at such close range, once they went berserk and launched an attack, they would be even more ferocious than a fourth-layer Qi Refining cultivator.

  "My current water hiding technique can only last for about an incense stick's worth of time, it's almost up!"

  Ye Chen rested for a moment in the gap between the two Illusory Wolf Heads, more than fifty zhang apart from each other, took a small sip of spiritual wine, and replenished himself with a Water Concealment Technique before continuing forward along one side of the stone wall.

  Not far ahead, three Phantom Wolves gathered in a narrow space of less than thirty or forty feet. One Phantom Wolf was crouching down, while the other two were pacing back and forth, their eyes vigilantly scanning around.

  The gap between them is only a dozen or so zhang away. Any one of them will immediately attract the attention of the other two Phantom Wolves if startled.

  "The Three-Headed Phantom Wolf has become even stronger!"

  Ye Chen furrowed his brow and patiently waited.

  But after a long time, he still didn't see them scatter, and they remained motionless in their original position.

  "Wait until they disperse, who knows how many hours it will take! Can only take a risk and try, see if we can get through!"

  Ye Chen clenched his teeth and walked over slowly.

  He bypassed the phantom wolf in front and was about to pass by the side of the crouching phantom wolf.

  Suddenly, Ye Chen's footsteps stumbled and he stared at the Phantom Wolf lying on the ground in surprise.

  That wolf-like creature crouched on the ground, its half-closed eyes gleaming with two dancing flames deep within its pupils.

  "Fire in the hole! God damn it!"

  Ye Chen was suddenly shocked and his feet fiercely exerted force, dashing forward, wanting to break out of the encirclement of the three-headed Illusory Wolf.

  Roar!

  The demon suddenly stood up, let out a loud howl, opened its huge mouth to reveal two thick and long fangs, and a faint red glow appeared in its mouth. The faint red glow grew brighter and brighter, and suddenly shot out! A swift wind blade, shot towards Ye Chen.

  It is a Wind-Fire dual-system Phantom Wolf, and also possesses Fire Eye and Gale Blade magic.

  The other two heads of the Phantom Wolf did not see Ye Chen's existence, and saw that the head of the Phantom Wolf that was lying down suddenly opened its mouth and shot a gust of wind blade into the air, looking somewhat bewildered.

  In a distance of just ten zhangs, the Phantom Wolf's Wind Blade shot over, and Ye Chen's speed was fundamentally unable to dodge it.

  A crisp "pa" sound, Ye Chen's Water Concealment Technique was shattered by the Wind Blade. The swift and sharp wind blade shot at his chest, tearing a long gash of several inches on his mid-grade robe with a ripping "hiss".

  Ye Chen's Water Concealment was broken and the other two Phantom Wolves immediately saw Ye Chen, who had revealed his figure. They instantly opened their mouths and wildly shot out wind blades.

  "Two gusts of wind blades shot over again,"

  Ye Chen felt a slight stinging pain in his chest, but he didn't dare to linger. With a loud "crack", he stomped heavily on the stone slab on the ground and suddenly shot forward, flying rapidly ahead with his speed increasing by twofold.

  He didn't have time to regret it.

  This was his first time using the Water Concealment Technique to break through, and he didn't have enough practical experience. He accidentally fell into a siege by three-headed Illusory Wolves.

  Bang! Bang!

  Ye Chen charged forward with all his might, breaking out of the encirclement of the three-headed Phantom Wolf. He let out two muffled grunts, relying on the defensive power of his mid-grade spell robe and Stone Skin to barely withstand the attack. His back and legs each took a hit from the Wind Blade, although they didn't pierce through, but a sharp pain lingered.

  The three-headed phantom wolf spat out a gust of wind blades and almost simultaneously exerted force to sprint towards Ye Chen, attempting to get close to him for an attack.

  They are wind-type fantasy beasts, and their sprinting speed is hardly any slower than Ye Chen's.

  Ye Chen turned his head and took a glance, seeing that the three-headed Phantom Wolf was actually closely chasing after him, causing his face to change color in shock.

  "We can't keep going like this and expect to outrun them! Otherwise, we'll alert the Phantom Wolves ahead on the path and be surrounded by even more of them."

  Ye Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks as he thought of this.

  He thrust out both hands and released two green air masses, suddenly turning around and slapping them towards the two Illusory Wolf heads.

  Two entwining technique light spheres struck the two-headed Phantom Wolf's body.

  The two ferocious phantom wolves were instantly bound by the two green vines, and they howled as they desperately struggled to break free. The green vines could not hold them for long, only for a short period of time.

  Ye Chen needed just this brief moment of calm.

  Ye Chen directly charged towards the Fantastical Wolf with blazing eyes, his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

  Draw your sword!

  Hmph!

  A stream of blood light shot out from the body of that illusory demon wolf.

  Slightly injured!

  However, Huoyan Huan Youlang didn't feel any pain and continued to pounce on Ye Chen, its sharp claws swiping at him.

  "Tiger Leaps Three Consecutive Cuts!"

  Ye Chen made one move after another, and the Huo Ling knife chopped down towards the Fire-eyed Illusory Wolf.

  Wow!

  Triple-layered fierce and violent flames of the blade, chopped towards the Phantom Wolf.

  This move of his was powerful enough to cut a Phantom Wolf in half.

  The Phantom Wolf seemed to know it couldn't block, so it exerted force with its front paws and agilely jumped to the left, dodging the incoming attack.

  Boom!

  Ye Chen made a single move, slashing at the stone floor of the corridor.

  That fiery-eyed wolf let out a fierce howl and once again pounced towards Ye Chen.

  At this time, the other two heads of the illusionary demon also broke free from the two green vines and pounced on Ye Chen from both sides.

  Ye Chen was startled.

  At the same time, he was subjected to a pincer attack by three-headed phantom wolves. If he were hit, he would likely be severely injured in an instant. Their attacking power was comparable to that of a fourth-layer Qi Refining cultivator, and their combined strength could be fatal.

  "Get out of here!"

  Ye Chen let out a loud whistle and twisted his waist, swinging the Huo Ling knife in his hand to draw an almost perfect arc around him.

  He instantly transformed into a fierce flame whirlwind, the Fire Spirit Knife's blade suddenly shot out nine fierce flame knife edges.

  Within a three-zhang radius around him, he was immediately covered by the explosive flames of the knife's edge. This was his most powerful move with the knife.

  "Boom!"

  "Hmph!"

  Three-headed Phantom Wolf, about to pounce, was suddenly hit by the whirlwind slash and let out a miserable howl as it was struck by several fierce flame blades, cutting it severely injured and sent flying dozens of feet away. The fire-eyed Phantom Wolf struggled to get up, swaying unsteadily towards Ye Chen and letting out a growl, with a red glow gradually appearing in its mouth as it attempted to unleash a Wind Blade.

  "Not dead yet!"

  Ye Chen's eyes turned cold, and with a swift movement, he rushed over. A tiger-like slash of his knife chopped down on the head of that Fire-Eyed Demon Wolf. Ka-cha! Finally, he beheaded this Fire-Eyed Illusory Demon Wolf, thoroughly killing it.

  "Water hidden!"

  Ye Chen ignored those two half-dead illusionary wolves and used a Water Concealment Technique to envelop himself before suddenly disappearing in the corridor.

  Those two seriously injured Phantom Wolves got up, revealing a fierce glow in their eyes as they searched everywhere for Ye Chen's whereabouts, but to no avail. Without the Fire-Eyed Phantom Wolf, they couldn't find any trace of Ye Chen.

  Keep going!

  Ye Chen in Demon Tower 4th floor, advancing.

  "The First Channel! A Flame-Eyed Illusory Wolf."

  "Second Path! Two-Headed Flame-Eyed Phantom Wolf!"

  "Third Tunnel! Two-Headed Flame-Eyed Phantom Wolf!"

  Ye Chen sneaked all the way.

  He has killed five Flame-Eyed Illusory Wolves and several ordinary Illusory Wolves.

  He found that the four-layered Town Demon Tower had a considerable number of Huanyang Wolves with Fire Eyes.

  About one or two out of every ten Phantom Wolves have Flame Eyes.

  Moreover, near each Fire-Eyed Phantom Wolf, there are always one or two Phantom Wolves wandering around. The difficulty of killing a Fire-Eyed Phantom Wolf is about twice that of killing a normal Phantom Wolf. Even with his strength, he can't avoid getting hit by one or two Wind Blades.

  "The Water Concealment Technique also has its drawbacks. Traveling stealthily like this, although it can avoid many of the Illusory Wolves, but once the Water Concealment Technique is broken, it's easy to get caught in a pincer attack by the Illusory Wolves from both front and back!"

  Ye Chen's biggest headache was being attacked by multiple Phantom Wolves, which greatly increased the risk of rushing to the fourth floor. The effect of the Water Concealment spell on tower rushing was also greatly discounted.

  "The fourth floor of the Demon Tower is much more difficult than the first three floors. Only from the fourth floor onwards can one truly test their worth to seize the Heavenly Gate Order!"

  Ye Chen thought to himself.

  But for him, everything was under control.

  Encountering the Huoyan Huan Youlang, if the Water Concealment Technique is ineffective, he still has Entwining Technique, Stone Skin, and Tiger Leaping Knife Method to deal with the second-tier inferior Huan Youlang. As a fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivator, his strength still holds an absolute advantage. If not for wanting to spend less time and conserve spiritual energy, he could have simply killed them all along the way.

  In a short time, he had passed through three passages on the fourth floor of the Demon Tower.

  And this is only a small part of his strength. The fourth-layered Phantom Wolf was unable to bring out all of his strength.

  Other realms.

  The fourth floor of the Demon Tower, second passageway.

  Wang Zhuo Zheng exerted great effort to kill a Phantom Wolf, pulled out his spiritual sword, and gazed at the corpse of the Phantom Wolf as it gradually disappeared. A warm, confident smile spread across his face. "Ye Chen, that little brat, is probably still in the first passageway, using all his might to rush through! With him being just a mere 50th-ranked hut owner, a lone cultivator, he dares to make a bet with me? When I get back those 500 pieces of spiritual stone, my previous purchase of the Seven-Leafed Spiritual Ginseng will be equivalent to having only spent 300 pieces. What a bargain!"

  The fourth floor of the Demon Tower, second passageway.

  "Wang Zhuo is probably rushing to the second passageway! I don't know where Ye Chen rushed to, but his strength should be a bit stronger than Kong Xi's!"

  On Bai Yu's pale and delicate face, a cold and stern expression emerged. With the Qingling sword in hand, a burst of cyan sword light enveloped the injured Illusory Wolf in front of him, ready to reap its life. Yet, he could still spare some attention to think about other things.

  The fourth floor of the Demon Tower, the first passageway.

  Kong Xi killed with some difficulty, having just finished killing the ninth head of the Phantom Wolf. "I've killed nine heads of the Phantom Wolf! This passage is almost open!"
