Two-stage rocket

  Zhu Dahao killed two enemy generals and returned with minor injuries.

  Ye Chen and Qian Shanli were all smiling as they stared at Zhu Dahao, watching him make a fool of himself.

  "Hah, this one, a moment of carelessness!"

  Zhu Dahao awkwardly laughed a few times, his face somewhat unable to hold on. Just now he boasted in front of everyone, letting them see his strength, but ended up returning in disarray.

  "Alright, you guys go ahead and give it a try too! Let me see your real abilities."

  Ye Chen smiled and said.

  "I'll go first!"

  Qian Shan Li held a Qingling sword and walked steadily towards the depths of the corridor, preparing to kill a Phantom Beast. He practiced wood-based magic.

  Feng Yan and Li Qiao continued to wait.

  Qian Shanli didn't look as flustered as Zhu Dahao, and walked to a distance of about 17 or 18 zhang from the demonic rabbit. This caught its attention. The demonic rabbit let out a sharp cry and charged towards him. Qian Shanli immediately turned around and ran back.

  He ran while keeping an eye on the location of the illusory demon rabbit, maintaining a distance of about eighteen zhang. This distance was enough to prevent the water arrow magic shot by the illusory demon rabbit from hitting him, and also prevented it from retreating again.

  Qian Shanli pulled it over alone and immediately turned around to charge at Huan Yao, withstanding its water arrow while casting a binding spell that tightly bound it in place.

  Whoosh!

  Qian Shanli swiftly rushed to the front of the demon rabbit, a green light flashed, and with just one sword, he split that illusory demon in half. The entire process took less than ten breaths.

  Ye Wu looked far away, somewhat surprised and said to Zhu Da Hao "Brother Qian is so quick in killing a Phantom Beast Rabbit, much faster than you! Calculating this way, he can kill ten Phantom Beasts within an hour!"

  Zhu Dahao shook his head, "His method can only kill the Illusory Demon, and it doesn't matter if he gets hit by a water arrow. But if it were an Illusory Snake instead, the venom would be too potent, and he wouldn't dare to charge forward like that, the difficulty level would increase greatly."

  Qian Shanli killed one of the illusory demon rabbits and then retreated back.

  Next is Feng Yan, going to hunt and kill the Phantom Beast.

  Feng Yan Su

  She rushed over and caught the attention of a Phantom Beast, immediately turned back, and with just two small gusts of wind blades, she took down one Phantom Beast without suffering any damage. Unlike Zhu and Qian, who would get hit by water arrows.

  Her speed is fast, whether it's a phantom snake or a phantom rabbit, she can take them down with the "启航冇水印" method. However, her wind blade power is relatively weak and not enough to take down a single phantom snake and phantom rabbit in one go, so she has to release two blades.

  However, Feng Yan's magic consumption is twice that of Zhu Dahu and Qian Shanli. The time she uses to recover her magic will also be significantly longer.

  Finally, there was Li Qiao, a water-element cultivator at the third layer of the Refining Qi stage.

  She made her move, and with a water arrow, the Phantom Beast's speed was greatly reduced. Then she rushed over and with a swift slash of her Water Spirit Sword, she knocked the Phantom Beast to the ground. Her method was almost identical to Qian Shanli's.

  "Are you all single-spirited cultivators or multiple-spirited? Do you only cultivate one system of magic?"

  Ye Chen found it strange that all four of them were using a single set of spells.

  Zhu Dahao nodded and said, "The four of us are all miscellaneous spiritual roots! However, I cultivate the 'Fire Spirit Scripture' method, which is beneficial for cultivating fire magic, can complement each other, but has no use for other magic, so I didn't go to practice. The others are the same! Ye brother, I see you cultivating many doors of magic at the same time, what kind of method do you cultivate? Is it 'Hunyuan Scripture' or 'Five Spirits Scripture'?

  Zhu Dahao said with some surprise.

  "Cough! Li Qiao is back! Let's talk about this later."

  Ye Chen coughed lightly and changed the subject.

  He has no skills at all, but I don't know how to say it.

  Zhu Dahao turned his head and looked over.

  "My speed is also pretty fast!"

  Li Qiaozheng smiled and walked towards them.

  "Not bad! The four of you killed the Illusory Beast in a similar way. All of you are excellent!"

  Ye Chen looked at the four people and said, "The Illusory Beast in this tower seems quite stupid!"

  So silly!

  This was Ye Chen's greatest feeling after watching the four of them hunt and kill the Illusory Serpent and the Illusory Hare. If they were outside the Immortal City, in the wilderness at sunset, even if Zhu Dahu and his companions had used twice as much energy, they wouldn't have been able to quickly take down a single Illusory Hare like that.

  Wild yōu miǎn líng zhì jí gāo, yī shòu shāng, shòu dào cì "qǐ háng mǎo shuǐ yìn" jī, zǎo jiù hòng de bù zhī dào kuáng bēn pǎo nǎ lǐ qù le. Děng tāmen pū tōng pū tōng de xiǎo xīn gān lěng jìng xià lái, yòu huì cóng cǎo cóng zhòng tū rán chū lái, bào fù shāng hài tāmen de dí rén.

  As for the venomous snakes, they are even more frightening. They hide in the cold grass and weeds, silent and motionless, staring at their prey. When the time is ripe, they suddenly dart out, striking with deadly precision, tormenting their victims to the brink of death.

  In comparison, the fantasy demons inside the Demon-Suppressing Tower are of the same rank as Huan Ying and Huan Snake, but they don't have a hint of spiritual energy, only waiting to be slaughtered.

  Zhu Dahao nodded, "Mmm. The phantom beasts in the Demon-Suppressing Tower are all created by array techniques and have no spiritual intelligence. Their strength and appearance are very similar to those of normal demon beasts, but they won't retreat when injured. They will only attack if you enter their line of sight and attack range; otherwise, they won't bother with you. When cultivators enter the Demon-Suppressing Tower, they usually attract the attention of one phantom beast, then retreat to the back and kill them one by one. If it weren't for the fact that the phantom beasts are quite stupid and easy to deal with, we wouldn't be able to rush past them at all. Those big clan disciples, not a single one of them can rush to the sixth floor and obtain the Heavenly Gate Order!"

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, and already had a plan in mind. "Alright, Zhu Dahao will be the main force standing in the middle, using fireballs to deal with the swarms of incoming Illusory Beasts. Feng Yan, you'll take the front position on the left side and lure the Illusory Beasts over. Qian Shanli, provide supporting entanglement from the left side. Li Qiao, take the rear position on the right side and use water arrows to slow down the Illusory Beasts. Let's arrange it like this! The four of you will form a diagonal line, steadily advancing forward along the passageway!"

  "Yè brother, how about you? Where are you?"

  Zhu Dahu and four others were all shocked.

  "Me?"

  Ye Chen smiled lightly and put away his Huo Ling knife. "I'll take the first wave! You guys take the second wave! We'll alternate!"

  Ye Chen finished speaking and dashed towards the passage in a flash.

  His speed wasn't considered fast, and he didn't even waste any magical power. He just gave himself a golden bell cover and went straight forward like that.

  However, two small, pale red wind blades appeared on his palms.

  Ye Chen rushed out and saw four or five dozen feet ahead, four heads of gathered Illusory Serpent and Illusory Rabbit.

  Whoosh!

  Two swift wind blades, whooshing through space, emitted a faintly piercing sound, and shot out.

  "Hahaha!"

  Two wind blades accurately shot at the snake heads of the two-headed illusory serpent, directly cutting off the snake heads. The snake body that had not completely died yet twisted on the ground, but soon disappeared. Ye Chun controlled the wind blade with his divine sense, and its power and accuracy were obviously much higher than Feng Yan's.

  The other three-headed phantom rabbits jumped up in surprise, but they looked around and were bewildered. Their range of perception was only twenty zhang, beyond which nothing could be seen.

  Ye Chen charged forward, and with a casual wave of his hand, he sent out two Wind Blades once again.

  The two-headed phantom hadn't even seen his figure before being shot through the throat.

  Ye Chen's face remained calm as he quickly rushed over, ignoring the still-twitching Huan Yao Tu on the ground.

  In just forty or fifty breaths, Ye Chen burst out with a single blow, charging over two hundred meters away. Within this range, nearly fifty Phantom Beasts were killed by his wind blades.

  This speed of pushing forward was actually not much slower than his Wind Slashing Strike.

  "It's really fast!"

  "Ye brothers, no matter how they killed these low-level fantasy beasts, the speed was absolutely fast. I originally thought that without Whirlwind Slash, their speed in killing fantasy beasts would slow down greatly! Now it seems, there's almost no impact."

  "Ye Brother's cultivation and strength at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, as well as his Wind Blade technique, made it effortless to deal with the second-layer Illusory Beast. It was even faster than harvesting Spirit Valley."

  "Go, catch up!"

  Zhu Dahao and Qian Shanli were shocked, looking at each other in unison.

  They flew quickly towards Ye Chen's pursuit.

  "You go up! Don't rush, just a normal speed will do. I need some time to recover my magic!"

  Ye Chen glanced inward and saw that his spiritual power was almost depleted, so he stopped, letting the four of them go up.

  "Alright, let's see what our brother Ye has got!"

  Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli, Feng Yan and Li Qiao joined forces to attack, advancing much slower than Ye Chen, but still quite good.

  When encountering two or three-headed phantom beasts, Zhu Dahao directly blasted them with a fireball, blasting and burning them within a small range. Feng Yan's Wind Blade could kill one, and with the support of Qian Shanli and Li Qiao's magic, they firmly killed the phantom beast on the spot.

  If it's a mythical creature, then it's even simpler.

  All the way to kill, four people on the body almost no injury.

  "It's really a great pleasure to kill! Before, I was always alone in the second floor of the Town Demon Tower, wasting time and effort. Often because I encountered the two-headed illusion snake, I would frantically jump up and down, only regretting not having two more legs. Now with four people together, although there are several times more demons to kill, it feels much easier! If only I had known earlier, I would have formed a team with you guys to conquer the tower!"

  Zhu Dahao's unexpected surprise.

  "Got it, you were only at the second layer of Qi Refining two years ago! The team formation would have stopped at this second layer anyway. Are you still thinking of rushing to the third layer or above? Besides, I didn't even know you back then."

  Qian Shan stood up and laughed.

  Feng Yan and Li Qiao both smiled lightly as everyone chatted while killing the Illusory Beast.

  Ye Chen followed slowly behind, taking a big mouthful of spiritual wine, and the meridians within his "Qihai Water Seal" gradually recovered their magical powers.

  Zhu Dahao and the other three were in their third layer of Qi refining, with relatively little magical power. Together, they joined forces to kill more than 20 Illusory Demon Beasts, but their magical power was exhausted, and they had no choice but to stop and recover.

  Ye Chen's magical powers had almost recovered, and he once again released a gust of wind blades, pushing forward.

  Three hours later.

  Ye Chen and Zhu Dahao arrived at the end of the second floor of Zhenyao Tower and saw a transmission array.

  Ye Chen appeared in the third floor rest hall of Zhen Yao Tower, and he looked at the stone monument with "Qihang Water Seal" in the middle of the hall. The golden numbers "100!" were flashing on it, and as Zhu Dahao and others appeared, this number quickly rose by four digits.

  Ye Chen was slightly startled, he wasn't slow anymore. There were still over a hundred cultivators in front of him who had passed the second layer before him.

  Ye Chen's gaze swept past the hall, where many cultivators stood in twos and threes. Many people were also crowded around the entrance to the third floor, glaring at each other in anger, seemingly arguing over something. The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be tense to the point of being on the verge of a violent outburst.
