Volume 2: Wind Rises, Sky Turns Cold Chapter 181: Lei Chen!!

  From start to finish, Su Ming walked through the first six segments of the iron chain. He only circulated his vital energy to resist the absorption of the vital energy, and did not use any other means besides this.

  Even if it was the branding technique, it was only used when destroying the stone pillars. At other times, Su Ming would disperse it throughout his body. Without waiting for the moonlight to descend, without deploying the branding technique, and even with minimal control, he rarely exercised any of them. The only thing he used was the power of his current bloodline.

  After several months of meditation in the closed quarters of Mount Huan's Old Ancestor, Su Ming discovered a special aspect of the Congealed Blood Realm cultivators - their blood veins could be retracted and would not appear on the surface of their bodies if they so wished.

  In the first five segments of iron chain, Su Ming's Blood Line power only used about 700 lines, but in that sixth segment of iron chain, his Blood Line unfolded a complete 979 lines.

  At this moment, facing the seventh iron chain, Su Ming knew that he had to unfold some hidden methods, otherwise, relying solely on the 979 blood lines, even if he could pass through the seventh segment, the lost vitality would affect his future plans.

  "Under the moonlight, my body will recover faster... The circulation of blood is also the same, and the production of vitality will be more...” Su Ming looked up at the sky, where the moon was covered by clouds for more than half. The moon was not full, but in Su Ming's eyes, this moon belonged only to himself.

  The moonlight fell silently, refracting into a myriad of tiny droplets in the fine rain, each one merging into Su Ming's body. Su Ming slowly stood up from his cross-legged position and walked towards the seventh chain, passing by it.

  "He's starting the seventh inning!"

  "This section is extremely dangerous, and it's often a matter of life and death. I've also heard that many people have failed at this point before!"

  "What a pity... He has already consumed too much physical strength in the sixth stage, now this seventh stage, I'm afraid he won't make it"

  At night, the moonlight spilled down. Although it didn't look as clear as during the day, Su Ming's figure could still be seen walking towards the seventh iron chain. The people of Mount Hua had been paying attention all day and even at night they were unwilling to rest. Many of them chose a spot without water, sat cross-legged, discussing and watching intently.

  On top of Yan Chi Peak, the old woman, though exhausted, still insisted on standing there, supported by Yan Luan, and continued to gaze out.

  "The seventh stroke... a stroke of death..." The old woman muttered.

  Yan Lian remained silent, looking at him without speaking.

  At this moment, Su Ming did not notice that behind him, on the second floor of Mount Hua, under a roof, Han Feizi, who had arrived at some unknown time, was standing there and gazing at Su Ming's back, thinking about something.

  Everyone is gazing at the top of the mountain in the east.

  "Can he pass the seventh stage......" The Anton tribe leader hesitated for a moment and looked at the barbarian king beside him.

  "You should ask Hanshangzi about this." Andong Man Gong's aged face was calm, and he spoke slowly.

  Han Cangzi fell silent for a moment, his voice soft but firm.

  "Can."

  On top of Puqian Peak, the silent crowd also began to whisper to each other due to Su Ming's footsteps.

  "Perhaps there's no need to make a move, looking at his state in the sixth round, this seventh round, he won't be able to get through!"

  "Even if I were to walk this sixth path, it wouldn't be that difficult. This person, we've overestimated him a bit."

  "It's better to fail quickly, so I don't have to wait here any longer and waste my old age."

  The murmurs were faint, but the indifference of the words was full of sinister intent, like a barbaric art refined by Pu Songling.

  Among the crowd's conversation, only Pu (Baidu sought magic, hand-written, ear-root bookworm official YY: 3943) and the man beside him, who was as sturdy as a mountain of flesh, did not speak. The two had different expressions, with Pu closing his eyes, hiding his thoughts, while the man resembling a mountain of flesh furrowed his brow.

  "What do you think." Pu Qiongman said, this thin and gaunt old man looked at the man beside him.

  "He destroyed the stone pillar, with three intentions: one was to warn, the second was to establish his authority, and the third was to cut off his own retreat, putting himself in a situation where he had to break through this chain."

  No one does this, but he did... From these subtle places, it can be seen that this person has a certain degree of confidence, but this confidence should not be too great, otherwise there is no need to cut off his own retreat.

  However, I think he should be able to pass through this seventh trial." The man with a gaze like a mountain of flesh slowly opened his mouth.

  The dark night rain was weak, but from time to time there were still thunderclaps rumbling, and lightning flashed from time to time, tearing through the long sky, illuminating the heavens and earth in an instant. At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared, and under its brief illumination, everyone saw Su Ming on the sixth stone pillar take a step towards the seventh iron chain.

  But at this moment, Su Ming's body suddenly stiffened.

  Others couldn't see it, but Su Ming saw it in this moment. The seventh iron chain appeared at the moment his foot fell, and suddenly a person appeared.

  This person's appearance was vague, as if there was only a virtual shadow floating in front of Su Ming, floating on this Helan Mountain range, silently staring at himself.

  "A faint voice, 'Su... Ming...' came drifting in, and was transmitted into Su Ming's ears, causing his calm heart to have a shock at the moment he heard this voice. 'Lei Chen!' Su Ming immediately recognized that this voice belonged to whom!"

  At the moment he said this name, the vague shadow suddenly became clear and quickly appeared in front of Su Ming. It was a figure that made him feel unfamiliar, but those eyes were familiar!

  His face was twisted in agony, standing there in a daze, with countless tiny wounds all over his body. Black insects could be seen crawling and burrowing into those wounds. He looked extremely old, with his right eye blinded, yet at this moment, it gleamed with a fierce light, but his left eye stared blankly at Su Ming, revealing an incredulous expression.

  "Su Ming...... is that really you...... this...... this......" The figure's body trembled, his expression even more painful, as if the pain his body was enduring at this moment was unbearable to him. Moreover, on his brow, Su Ming also saw a circular mark.

  This mark was pitch black, and there was a dark aura emanating from it, as if it had pierced through his entire skull.

  "This is impossible... it's not you, you're not you! Who are you?!" The figure suddenly let out a loud roar, staring fixedly at Su Ming, and then took large strides, rushing straight towards Su Ming.

  A powerful aura burst forth from his body, and under this aura, Su Ming felt as if the entire world around him was about to solidify. A strong sense of oppression accompanied by an aura of death descended upon him like a giant hand pressing down, causing Su Ming's body to shudder.

  "Lei Chen......" Su Ming muttered to himself, his heart racing with excitement. He had never expected that the seventh segment of the Yan Mountain chain would lead to such a scene!

  "This is false, I am in the Chuan Shan chain, this is the materialization of my heart's illusion..." Su Ming did not have a confused mind, on the contrary, he was extremely clear-headed at this moment, but it was precisely this clarity that made his heart tremble.

  "Who are you, after all!" Lei Chen's low growl was already within ten zhang of Su Ming, a fierce and savage aura pounced on him, and from Lei Chen's right eye, a crazy killing intent burst out.

  "Lei Jiao" I am Su Ming... Su Ming was very clear-headed, but the clearer he became, the more fearful he felt. What he feared wasn't Lei Chen or the heavens and earth, but a feeling that couldn't be put into words!

  "I am Su Ming... I am Su Ming..." Su Ming muttered to himself, watching as Lei Chen approached with a ferocious expression. His right hand swung in a fist, which suddenly stopped just three inches from his own face.

  His pause was because Su Ming said a sentence at this moment.

  "You once said we would change..."

  Lei Chen's body trembled, his blood-red eyes filled with a mixture of ferocity and incredulity, even more terrifying, staring blankly at himself.

  "It's impossible... I'll bury you with my own hands... Is this an illusion again?... Another illusion that has been entwining my cultivation..." Lei Chen let out a mournful laugh, his right fist retracting before suddenly smashing into his own chest. A dull thud echoed through the air as Lei Chen's figure suddenly dispersed, once again becoming indistinct and gradually fading away from Su Ming's sight.

  Su Ming's breathing was rapid, he had walked through the first six segments of the Yan Mountain chain (Baidu seeks magic, ear root book fan official YY: 3943) without such a change, under Pu Quan's gentle words, he had never been like this before, but now, he could hardly control his own breathing, panting rapidly.

  "Is this an illusion or reality!"

  "Is this just my illusion... or Leizhen's destined fate..."

  "Is this really my truth or Leichen's truth! Leichen's appearance has changed greatly, and his cultivation is even more powerful. Is this just my imagination..."

  Su Ming's body trembled, as if he was trapped in a nightmare and couldn't open his eyes.

  At this moment, the city of Handan was in an uproar, and the commotion caused countless people who were sitting cross-legged to stand up again, making Yan Chi Department, Andong Department, and even Puqiang Department all startled.

  They all clearly saw that at this moment, on the seventh section of the Handan Mountain Chain under the moonlight, Su Ming was walking forward, but his walk was completely different from before. He seemed to have forgotten that he was on the Handan Mountain Chain and that there was only one iron chain beneath his feet, not a flat road.

  At this moment, Su Ming looked like he had lost his soul to everyone. He seemed to have lost his spirit, and although he was walking, it was as if he were a walking corpse. At one point, he even took a step that almost made him tread on air.

  This is absolutely not something a sane person would do!

  "It's like this again! I remember someone telling me that everyone who walks on this seventh section is like this!"

  "What secret is hidden in this seventh paragraph!"

  "It's done! He almost fell just now, but fortunately the wind is light and the iron chain isn't swaying much... Ah, the wind is picking up!"

  Like a sudden stormy wave of discussion, at this moment a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared and had an instant pause, but saw that the seventh section of iron chain in the howling wind was violently shaking, causing its speed to also have a shake.

  And at this moment, a flash of lightning that split the sky made the discussion rise from its pause with an even stronger voice!

  Because in that instant when the lightning illuminated the sky and earth, they clearly saw Su Ming on the iron chain, his right foot stiffly raised, one foot... fell empty!
