Chapter 279 The spirited young man
In the ancient secret realm, as soon as Xu Zhongcheng finished speaking, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Although everyone wanted to stop him, they knew in their hearts that Xu Zhongcheng was not wrong.
"At critical moments, you need to make choices!"
It’s just that in the same situation, different people make different choices.
Perhaps someone will let the weak be cannon fodder and sacrifice people who have little value.
Perhaps someone will stand up as the strongest and stand alone.
What others choose is their business.
But the disciples of the Demon Sect often have very unified choices.
Inner sect disciple Wang Tao was the first to go into battle, but now he is seriously injured and unconscious. So, the next one to go is Xu Zhongcheng, the strongest among the remaining people.
The reason why everyone did not speak out again to stop it was because they were also prepared in their hearts.
If something happens to Senior Brother Xu, then it will be their turn next.
The Demon Sect never teaches its disciples what to do, and teachers rarely use long speeches to educate their disciples, because they know very well that some words are useless no matter how many times they are said on a daily basis.
It’s better to do it at the critical moment.
This is not taught by words, but by example.
This is true from top to bottom.
This is no longer a personal choice, because countless personal choices combined have become the ethos of our Demon Sect, our attitude, and our stance!
As for Xu Zhongcheng, is he afraid?
Naturally he was afraid.
His voice was trembling as he spoke, and his hand holding the sword was so cold.
There are not many people with great courage in this world.
In life-and-death situations, fear is the norm.
There are more people in this world who are obviously afraid and timid, but still proceed without hesitation.
Xu Zhongcheng gently stroked the sword in his hand, and Lu Xun's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"If Junior Uncle-Master were here, he would be able to solve everything, right?"
He and Lu Xun were disciples who entered the sect at the same time, but there was a huge difference in seniority between them.
Like Ji Li, he has the aptitude of eight ripples, which is equivalent to comprehension level 8.
With such qualifications, no matter which sect he belongs to, he is regarded as a child of destiny!
However, the Demon Sect has a more extraordinary person named Lu Xun, so the attention Xu Zhongcheng has gained within the sect is actually obscured.
When the sun rises, the stars naturally dim.
Xu Zhongcheng once regarded Lu Xun as a target to catch up with, but gradually he began to be convinced.
In the outer sect competition, he was unfortunately defeated by Ji Li and missed the position of chief disciple, but at least he was the second among this group of disciples.
He no longer had the arrogance he had when he first entered the Demon Sect, but perhaps because the Demon Sect's teachings were different from others, he had lost all his arrogance, but still had pride.
Perhaps this is the source of his courage.
After stuffing a spiritual pill to replenish his spiritual power into his mouth, Xu Zhongcheng slowly stood up and said to a male disciple:
"Brother Luo, from now on, you are the leader. I will go and attract it later. You must find the right time to lead the brothers and sisters to run out!"
The disciple surnamed Luo nodded vigorously. When Xu Zhongcheng turned around and walked out, he couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Xu, you..."
Xu Zhongcheng stopped and turned around and asked, "Me?"
"You don't need to worry about me."
"I am the strongest here, with eight ripples, and second in the outer sect of the Demon Sect!"
The boy didn't look back and walked out quickly.
His heart was pounding and his nerves were on edge, but his face was full of vigor and energy, a long-lost look!
He suddenly remembered a famous saying of the Demon Sect, and said viciously in his heart:
"I'll chop off its head with my sword!"
…
…
The passage to the secret realm was a little dark.
It's hot here and the air is dry.
Xu Zhongcheng took a deep breath and felt a little uncomfortable.
It seemed as if there was no moisture around, and even the soil on the ground had dried up and cracked.
"When the drought demon comes out, the red ground will be thousands of miles away." Xu Zhongcheng said in his heart.
But fortunately, what is here is not the legendary drought demon, but a special drought corpse.
Yue Heshan had used his spiritual sense to explore this small secret realm and concluded that the danger level here was not high.
In fact, it is not very high, which is just right for young disciples to gain experience.
But unfortunately, before they arrived at this secret place, this drought corpse got there first!
It didn't know where it came from, nor how it entered the secret realm.
In short, its existence breaks the balance here!
The most infuriating thing is that it initially concealed its breath and hid in a coffin, making it unnoticed!
At the beginning, everyone was caught off guard by it, resulting in Senior Brother Wang Tao being seriously injured.
Moreover, perhaps because there is some treasure with fire attribute in this secret realm, this drought corpse has obtained it, causing its strength to continue to increase!
But fortunately, its consciousness seems to be weak and its perception ability is not strong, otherwise everyone would have died long ago!
"Here it comes!" Xu Zhongcheng felt a heat wave coming, and immediately rushed out with his sword, and a sword light flashed!
There was a loud bang, and the disheveled corpse actually bit towards the sword energy!
Its fangs bit off the sword energy, and then it rushed towards Xu Zhongcheng like a mad dog!
"Too fast!" Xu Zhongcheng only saw a black shadow, and subconsciously raised the sword in his hand to block, and then he was hit hard!
He flew backwards, but before that, he nailed three small swords into the drought corpse's right arm.
This successfully angered the drought corpse.
At this moment, the rest of the Demon Sect's disciples began to rush out.
They knew very well that the sooner they got out of trouble, the sooner Xu Zhongcheng could get out!
With his level of cultivation, he can't hold on!
The time he could delay was only a few breaths!
…
…
The paper crane flew quickly in the air. Lu Xun was now at level 28, and his flying speed was much faster than before.
He was very fast and did not spare the spiritual energy in his body.
At the same time, he also lifted the illusion and returned to his original appearance.
Compared to Baidi's identity, which is unfamiliar to the disciples of the Demon Sect, his original appearance can make people feel more at ease.
This is the reputation he has accumulated in the Demon Sect over the years. Now that Junior Uncle-Master has come, they will naturally feel at ease.
Lu Xun quickly arrived at the secret realm, and instantly felt the difference here.
"Drought corpse?" Lu Xun said in his heart.
When he was playing as a big player in his previous life, he had encountered drought corpses several times.
This is a relatively rare elite wild monster, and its level will not be lower than level 35!
Of course, the level cannot be too high. It is usually between level 35 and 40. I have never seen a drought corpse above level 40.
However, as an elite wild monster, its strength is far beyond that of monsters of the same level. Naturally, it is also stronger than ordinary third-level practitioners, and much stronger!
“This team will consume spiritual energy in the process of breaking into the secret realm. Plus, the team leader Wang Tao is only at the early third realm. He is definitely no match for this drought corpse.” Lu Xun came to the conclusion in his mind.
This made him feel a little anxious.
The most embarrassing thing is that he entered from the entrance of the secret realm, and he still needs to go through all the levels.
Although Wang Tao and others have already cleared the level, the level will automatically restart after they successfully clear it.
This is extremely time-consuming.
What Lu Xun lacks most now is time!
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Old Crocodile when he had finished conquering [The Turtle's Longevity].
He used very little time at the beginning, but was still only ranked second on the list, with the first place being the second senior sister.
He went to ask Old Crocodile how long it took Second Senior Sister to pass the level.
Old Crocodile told him that Gu Xiaoman only swung his sword three times and destroyed the three checkpoints directly, and it took only three breaths.
Lu Xun was ready to follow suit.
The next moment...
He drew his sword.
