Chapter 1227: 1227
After walking through the stone gate, the scene in front of the four immediately changed into a vast void with thick grey stone pillars .
These pillars were extremely long . The bottom and the top of the pillars were so far apart that they seemed to be connecting the heavens and the earth . The countless pillars were neatly arranged, each separated with the same distance between them .
“This is the maze, a powerful illusive formation . We will not be able to fly out of this void without certain skills . Follow me!” Liao Yunjian said loudly .
Liao Yunjian then stepped on the void and started shuttling between the stone pillars .
Su Mo and the other two followed him, not daring to slack off at all .
Liao Yunjian led the three in and around the stone pillars . Although they seemed in disarray, they were actually following some kind of a rule .
After about a minute, the scenery around them changed again . They were now in a passageway, and the door to the Flaming Devil Earth Palace was behind them .
“Crack!”
A crisp sound came from Su Mo’s feet . Lowering his head to look, he found that he had stepped on a skeleton .
When he looked up, he noticed that there were numerous skeletons lying on the passageway, no less than a dozen .
“Why are there so many skeletons here?” Nie Qian asked in shock .
“These are the disciples of the Academy who got stuck in here! I was stuck here for almost a year as well!” Liao Yunjian said with a sigh .
He had once come here with two of his fellow disciples, but he was the only one who came out alive .
“Let’s go!” Liao Yunjian shouted as he continued to move forward .
Su Mo walked in the rear and collected all the storage rings that he could find on the skeletons .
Liao Yunjian saw what Su Mo was doing and secretly shook his head as his eyes flickered with contempt .
The group moved forward along the passageway for a while before coming to a stop at a smaller stone door .
Liao Yunjian glanced at Su Mo and Nie Qian and asked in a deep voice, “This is the second trial . Are you two ready?”
Su Mo and Nie Qian both nodded .
Unlike Nie Qian who had serious expression, Su Mo was secretly excited . After all, Evil Spirits could be really good fodder .
“Let’s go then!”
There was a hint of excitement in Liao Yunjian’s voice as well . The four stepped forward and went through the stone door .
“Swish!”
Their surroundings shifted and transformed, bringing them once again into a vast void .
This area was incredibly wide and seemed to have no end .
In the distance, there was a black palace floating in the void . It looked like it had traveled through time and had lived through eternity .
The black palace’s Demonic Qi soared up to the sky like fire beacons, twisting the whole void .
Around the palace, countless illusory Spirit Builds were dancing and roaring, making jarring noises .
These Spirit Builds all had different shapes and forms . Some looked like humans, while others looked like beasts .
“Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!”
“Cackle Cackle Cackle!”
The illusory Spirit Builds burst out in eerie laughter after spotting the four people . Some Spirit Builds even rushed toward them .
“Brother Nie, Su Mo, I’ll leave it to the two of you . Miss Han and I can only get into the palace if you guys distract these Evil Spirits!” Liao Yunjian said in a hurry .
Nie Qian nodded and immediately punched toward the flying spirits .
“Rumble!”
The fist radiance smashed into the Evil Spirits and caused a huge explosion .
Nie Qian’s fist radiance was extremely powerful, blasting away a large number of Evil Spirits with just one hit . Some of the weaker spirits were instantly crushed and blown into ashes .
Su Mo also lifted up his palm and sent out an enormous palm print, instantly blowing some spirits away .
The Evil Spirits were angered by Nie Qian and Su Mo . Thousands of spirits swooped toward them, covering the sky with a huge black shadow .
“Cackle Cackle Cackle!”
Chilling peals of laughter arose from the Evil Spirits .
“Brother Nie, I’ll leave it to you guys!”
Liao Yunjian signalled to Han Ying and then dashed to the side at the speed of light .
They were going to seize the opportunity to enter the palace while Su Mo and Nie Qian distracted the Evil Spirits .
The countless Evil Spirits swooped toward Su Mo and Nie Qian .
Nie Qian did not waste a single second and started attacking fiercely . He punched out iron fists nonstop . Fist shadows filled the open sky and stormed in all directions .
Although the Evil Spirits did not have any sophisticated attacking methods, they were not weak . Their mad assaults tore all the fist shadows into pieces .
Nie Qiang’s expression changed as the spirits attacked . He started to back off while attacking . There were too many spirits that it made his hair stand up on end .
“Cheep Cheep Cheep!”
“Cackle Cackle Cackle!”
The eerie laughs were piercing through their ears . Nie Qian’s attacks had already angered all the Evil Spirits, causing hordes of spirits to surround him .
At the same time, Liao Yunjian and Han Ying had already reached the palace . Since the Evil Spirits were distracted by Nie Qiang and Su Mo, they had no opponents blocking their way .
Even though there were some spirits around the palace, they did not stand a chance against Liao Yunjian .
“Brother Nie, Su Mo, hold them off!” Liao Yunjian shouted with an obscure smile on his face as he and Han Ying rushed into the palace .
“Rumble Rumble Rumble”
Nie Qian continued to attack the Evil Spirits coming toward him, but there were just too many of them . Barely managing to kill a few, he could not defend himself from the spirits that had surrounded him . All he could do was keep retreating .
“Brother Su, why aren’t you attacking?” While drawing back, Nie Qian noticed that though Su Mo was just standing beside him, not making any moves . This angered him .
“It would be no use even if I did . These spirits cannot be killed!” Su Mo said sullenly .
“What?” Nie Qian looked around in disbelief . His eyes were suddenly wide open .
He realized that the spirits that he killed would always come together once again after getting crushed .
These Evil Spirits were indestructible!
Nie Qiang suddenly started to panic . Since the Evil Spirits cannot be killed, they had little chance to survive the attack of this many spirits .
Even if they managed to withstand for a while, it would not last very long .
“How can brother Liao not tell us this beforehand!” Nie Qian’s face turned pale while he anxiously tried to think of a way to get out of the encirclement of the evil spirits .
Su Mo rolled his eyes, scorning Nie Qian’s intelligence .
“He just sees us as cannon fodder!” Su Mo said calmly .
“What?” Nie Qian’s expression darkened . He was not stupid . He fully understood Su Mo’s statement .
“That asshole!” Nie Qian howled in outrage . He turned and asked Su Mo, “So what do we do now?”
Nie Qian did not stop fighting as he asked . He used both of his hands and sent out countless fist shadows to fend off the spirits .
“Leave it to me!” Su Mo chuckled . A shadow behind him began to rise and form an enormous black vortex .
Su Mo let out his Devouring Martial Soul .
