Countdown 04:02:23.
Here is the roof of the world, the main peak of the Himalayan Mountains, Mount Everest.
Every year, countless ordinary people want to try to conquer this place.
At this moment, this steep and majestic forbidden zone of life has become the battlefield for Outer World's top experts.
The incline here even exceeds 60 degrees, and ordinary people may not even be able to stand firm, but Qing Chen, Li Yunze, and Kg are flying and leaping on the summit as if walking on flat ground, like three dancing cranes.
Facing the five-way assault of Li Yunze, Qing Chen simply jumped up with a solemn expression, allowing the massive blizzard to carry his figure to the left.
It seemed as if the raging wind was helping Qing Chen, cleverly helping him avoid the encirclement of Arthur and Li Yunze.
The three of them sprinted, fighting as they jumped and ran down the mountain, descending hundreds of meters in altitude in just a few seconds.
The thick snow layer began to fracture under their feet. Fortunately, the north slope was steep and had never been covered with too much snow, so a huge avalanche did not form.
Arthur swung his blade, but Qing Chen spun, constantly using the force of the Level 8 winds to move, like a kite with a broken string, traceless, but always at the center of the wind speed.The wind wrapped the snow and Qing Chen, as if Qing Chen had also become a snowflake.
The huge white blade force was exceptionally striking in the black storm, chopping onto the snow layer with the heaviness of splitting a mountain.
However, the blade force brushed past Qing Chen, failing to injure him in the slightest.
Another "clang" sound rang out!
While retreating downwards in the wind, Qing Chen flicked the blade with his fingertip!
The enormous force was transmitted from the blade to his palm. Arthur felt a numbing sensation in his hand, and he almost couldn't hold the long sword steady. If the blade hadn't been flexible, it would have snapped from this flick!
By the time Arthur looked again, Qing Chen had already opened up a distance of several meters, continuing to descend.
At a certain moment, Arthur and Li Yunze even had a feeling that they were fighting a Demi-God.
It was as if the will of this world was helping this Joker.
When a Demi-God's spiritual will begins to merge with the world, they can sense more than just killing intent; they can also feel where the wind comes from, where the mountains are, and where the water flows.
For example, a figure like Zhang Mengqian, after becoming a Demi-God, could even foresee hostility in advance, achieving the effect of preempting the enemy.
But Qing Chen was not a Demi-God. He was simply calculating the wind speed silently on the summit and had silently memorized all the terrain, even calculating how this gale would form circuits and fluid dynamics in every mountain depression and on every mountain body.
Not only was the wind helping Qing Chen, but even the accumulated snow in the depressions was helping him.
Qing Chen walked on the mountain slope as if on flat ground, but Arthur and Li Yunze, in pursuit, repeatedly sank into the accumulated snow in the depressions, slowing down their chase.
Before Qing Chen could even make a move, the five Li Yunzes were torn apart by this world.
This ability to utilize the environment with such meticulous detail made his opponents feel like they were fighting against the world!
Scattering and turning with the wind, this is no ordinary body!
Qing Chen released and unleashed all the depression and frustration he felt when facing Chen Yu the Demi-God.
After being severely injured, he avoided and evaded all frontal combat, and he showed no intention of participating even when attacking the Kingdom and the Future headquarters.
But that was not the way of the Knight. All the low-key forbearance was transformed into anger and killing intent at this moment.
How to kill two A-Classes while being one against two? That was to treat the world as your comrade and fight alongside you.
The wind in the sky, the snow on the mountain, all were at his disposal!
This was the battlefield he had chosen!
In fact, from the moment Arthur saw Qing Chen easily dislodge his snowboard, he knew that this Trials of Life and Death was a setup from the start.
Normal snowboards are designed to fit very tightly so they won't come off easily.
But Qing Chen's snowboard buckles were carefully designed, made to deceive people.
Could Qing Chen have calculated everything? Could he have calculated that someone would come here to kill him?
Of course not. He didn't know if anyone would come, who would come, or how many would come. He didn't even know there was a crystal dragonfly overhead.
But he knew one thing: if someone wanted to kill him, they would definitely choose to do it here.
Therefore, he had prepared long ago.
Since when could a Knight be hunted at will?
Li Yunze's main body and clones rushed towards Qing Chen down the mountain.
In the wind and snow, Qing Chen couldn't tell which was the main body and which were the clones.
He briefly exchanged blows with them. Every Li Yunze had about the same strength as him. He was facing an encirclement by five A-Classes, with Arthur dragging his blade to the side, looking for an opportunity.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a dead end!
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew into the mountain depression. Qing Chen suddenly opened his arms and leaped, and the gale blew him up, over the mountains, over the heads of Li Yunze and Arthur!
Arthur dragged his blade into the air to block Qing Chen's path, but Qing Chen took a knife to the thigh to ride the wind!
Next moment!
Originally, Li Yunze was attacking from the mountain, but at this moment, the offense and defense switched. Qing Chen's leap had brought him back to the top!
Qing Chen laughed loudly!
Breathing.
Just as Li Yunze and Arthur were stunned, Qing Chen, at the upwind position, inhaled the world!
The sky-filled wind and snow poured into his mouth, as if a hole had been torn in the sky, and the celestial nectar made of wind and snow was poured into his mouth!
The jade pot spun!
A night of fish and dragon dances!
Qing Chen blew out all the Knight True Qi in his body with a mouthful of cloud.
Blowing out 30,000 miles!
From today on, you must understand one thing: there is a price to pay for killing a Knight.
So many people want to kill me? Then try it with your lives.
A fight to the death!
The cloud mixed with the wind and snow, and snowflakes turned into blades, scraping across the five Li Yunzes.
The expensive windbreakers, down jackets, and windproof pants all dissolved like snow meeting the sun.
The snow knives cut across Li Yunze's skin, creating hundreds of wounds. Blood seeped from the skin and quickly froze into ice.
Li Yunze was not dead, but he knew that he could no longer fight.
Today, this Knight seemed to have calculated everything, determined to kill them all here.
The Koshima expert, like that Demi-God Li Bingxi from Koshima, chose to run when he saw things were not going well.
As he ran wildly up and down, he created more and more clones.
Li Yunze knew that if he took another mouthful of cloud, he would surely die.
But he had studied Qing Chen and Li Shutong. He knew that this mouthful of cloud was a one-time opportunity.
The Knight on the mountain had no more area-of-effect attacks. As long as he had enough clones, the other party couldn't kill him.
Arthur roared, "What are you running for? He's exhausted! Kill him!"
Saying that, Arthur advanced instead of retreating, attacking Qing Chen again from below.
Li Yunze hesitated for a moment when he saw that he didn't run.
That's right, Knight's Qi was only a one-time opportunity. He had withstood it and was still alive. Why not take this opportunity to kill Qing Chen directly?
If he didn't kill him now, would he ever have another chance to kill him?
Thinking of this, Li Yunze actually returned to the attack.
But at this moment, Qing Chen gripped the Forbidden Artifact ACE-240 Universal Charger in his pocket!
In an instant, he used the only charging opportunity he had this month, and Knight's Qi, as if turning decay into magic, surged in his body again!
It was as if the tide on the Qiantang River had just receded, but in a second, it surged back again!
Li Yunze watched in horror as Qing Chen inhaled the world again, as if the moon in the sky had been sucked into a crescent.
Qing Chen smiled and blew out the cloud!
This Knight's Qi, from the day it was born, was used to fight more with less, and with the Forbidden Artifact given by Yang Yang, let your Koshima Li Clan's under-the-table Demi-God inheritance end with this generation!
The majestic wind and snow came from the sky, cutting the Li Yunze who had attacked back from below into a bloody mess. The five bodies leaned back together and fell down the mountain.
Li Yunze was in pain, roaring, and unwilling.
Arthur attacked from the left front, allowing the snowflakes to cut his body, and swung his blade!
The Kg was much more valiant than Li Yunze, knowing when to kill and when to retreat, without any hesitation!
However, the snowflakes hit his long sword like knives, and the fine snow collided with the steel knife, making a tinkling sound of metal clashing.
The long sword, which had been flicked twice by Qing Chen, shattered in the wind!
The broken blades were also swept into the wind and clouds, killing Li Yunze down the mountain.
Arthur's strike was like sending the broken knife to Qing Chen, delivering the assist for the final blow.
Blades struck Li Yunze, and the Koshima expert lay on a boulder, unable to move.
The four clones disappeared together, leaving only one main body lifeless.
But it was at this moment that Qing Chen noticed Arthur's smiling face.
He had sensed the danger. With a flick of his finger, he turned to the side.
A sniper in white camouflage on a distant mountain ridge pulled the trigger, and the bullet brushed past Qing Chen's chest, opening a 0.5-centimeter blood groove.
A sniper expert!
The other party was able to endure in this environment of below -40 degrees Celsius and Level 8 gales for so long, waiting so long, and finally crossed the 800-meter distance to almost hit Qing Chen.
It turned out that Arthur's knife just now was not for killing, but to attract Qing Chen's attention.
Therefore, when Qing Chen's sixth sense detected a sniper, it was already half a beat late!
Qing Chen no longer stayed in place, but used high-speed movement to avoid the sniper's trajectory.
He pounced on Arthur and quickly fought with him. The two fought and went down the mountain. Arthur laughed wildly: "Does even the Master of Daybreak Joker fear snipers?!
"Laughing too early," Qing Chen said calmly.
As he spoke, he ignored Arthur's attack, just like in the Octagonal Cage, enduring all of the other party's attacks and hugging the enemy.
Behind the two was no longer the way down the mountain, but a cliff. This time, Qing Chen did not give Arthur a chance to survive. He closed his eyes to avoid triggering the Forbidden Artifact rules.
During the hour that Qing Chen disappeared during the climb, he had handed Beyond the Three Realms over to Yang Yang because of certain plans.
At this time, he hugged Arthur tightly and jumped.
The two fell from the towering snow mountain towards the hard stone slope below. Even though Arthur's palm was like a knife, inserting into his abdomen and stirring, Qing Chen did not hesitate.
His eyes erupted with golden and brilliant light.
Please scatter with the thunder!
Suddenly, a powerful electric current swept through the bodies of the two, and the electric shock tore Arthur's limbs, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
Arthur's body rapidly heated up due to the electric charge, and eventually white smoke rose from his body!
"You will die too!" he roared with all his strength.
"So what," Qing Chen said with a cold smile, "If you don't even have this courage, then don't embark on the path of Cultivation."
The two fell from the sky, and the sniper finally had another chance to aim at Qing Chen, but this time, he had no chance to shoot.
A pigtail girl in the sky brought Dayu and Zard down from the sky.
She threw Dayu and Zard away, but turned to fly towards the falling Qing Chen.
Zard gathered the sand and soil on his body in his palm, and the palm grew larger and larger. He roared: "Have you ever seen a palm technique that descends from the sky?"
With a snap, Zard used his huge sand palm to ruthlessly press the sniper to death in the snow.
At this time, Qing Chen was still closing his eyes. He separated from Arthur in the air and kicked hard on Arthur's lifeless body, using the force of this kick to fly into the sky, buying the last bit of time for himself and for Yang Yang.
Just to fall to the ground a little later.
Waiting.
Qing Chen opened his eyes and smiled as he saw Yang Yang flying from the sky to catch him in her arms.
Yang Yang quickly wrapped him in the Forbidden Artifact Restorative Shroud and whispered, "Don't talk, you are seriously injured, there is a huge wound in your abdomen. Get a good sleep, I will wake you up in an hour."
Restorative Shroud can restore broken things, even the broken bones of a corpse can be restored, naturally it can also restore the broken wounds on Qing Chen's body, as well as the intestines broken by Arthur.
As long as Qing Chen does not die within an hour, then he will not die.
Yang Yang completely wrapped Qing Chen in the Forbidden Artifact, gently landed on the ground, and waited silently holding him in her arms.
Countdown 02:09:31, there are two hours left before the crossing, enough.
Dayu and Zard came and silently looked at the wrapped Restorative Shroud: "Is he okay?"
Yang Yang shook her head: "It's all in his plan, most likely he's fine, but I'm not sure if the injury can be 100% restored, after all, some of the body tissue will be missing when injured. For example, the wound hit by the sniper, the skin tissue was torn and taken away by the bullet, the Restorative Shroud is definitely unable to restore it."
"Let's wait and see," Dayu said calmly, "He's being a bit reckless today. Didn't he say that Knights like to gang up? Why didn't he gang up this time. He insisted on us waiting in the sky, and didn't let us directly attack those two A-Classes."
Yang Yang shook her head: "He only told me that if there are two or fewer A-Class experts, then we don't need to take action, we must be careful to hide in the high sky, and don't let the other party find us. Moreover, he also specifically told me that he would create the illusion of falling from a high altitude, and let me wait for that A-Class expert to die before taking him down from the air."
Dayu is a smart person. When Yang Yang said this, he immediately understood Qing Chen's intention: "He wants to create the illusion of his own death in the eyes of the North America Time Traveler?!"
Logically speaking, Qing Chen fell from a high altitude with Arthur, and his abdomen was severely injured by Arthur. There was no reason to survive.
If Yang Yang had come a little later, Qing Chen would have died.
Therefore, Qing Chen specifically told her all this, except to create a fake death illusion, there was no other explanation.
But the problem is, Dayu couldn't figure it out: Everyone is an A-Class, Qing Chen is not only fighting two with one, but also able to choose his own "death" method at the last moment?
What kind of calculation ability, what kind of strength, is needed to do this?
"What is he going to do? Go to North America?" Dayu asked.
Yang Yang thought for a while and said: "He said that the Kg has the True Sight Eye in his hand. This person must be killed recently, otherwise if the other party uses the reverse Key Gate, it may cause us a lot of threat. Moreover, this person is also one of the leaders of the Inner World's overseas invasion of the Federation. If he is killed, the invasion pace will naturally be delayed. Since Kg can come to hunt Qing Chen, Qing Chen can naturally go to hunt him. If he dies, we can buy more time."
For Qing Chen, Yang Yang, Zard, and Dayu are three insurances.
In fact, with his character, if he didn't think it was too much trouble, he would have left all the four hundred Guardians behind.
He didn't know how many people would be waiting for him here, so he had to leave a backup plan.
But before the Knight Trials of Life and Death, he would try not to use this backup plan if he could.
And all of this was foreshadowing for him to kill Kg.
"This kind of plan is too risky, a slight mistake, he will really die," Dayu said, "Why is he so sure that you will be able to save him in time?"
Yang Yang smiled and said: "We have children, why do you think?"
Dayu: "Seems very convincing."
At this time, Zard was rummaging through Li Yunze's body: "Wow, is Koshima so poor? He didn't even bring a Forbidden Artifact with him? Take it back, take it back, plant it on Whale Island. Ergou is still waiting for us at the Pearl Peak Mount Everest base camp. We will go back from that Key Gate to farm."
At this time, he ran to Arthur's body again, but this body was also bare.
After Arthur's death, the skull ring turned into a faint phantom and disappeared, not staying on Arthur's finger.
But strangely, the Forbidden Artifact that could teleport after eye contact was not found either.
Dayu thought for a moment and said: "This guy was used as a suicide soldier by Kg. He should have left for a while before to safely transfer the Forbidden Artifact away before returning to the mountain. It's a pity, planting these two corpses on Whale Island can also get Forbidden Artifacts, but it will take decades."
Yang Yang shook her head: "Qing Chen specifically told me before that he is not sure whether the Forbidden Artifacts planted on Whale Island can leave the island. Logically speaking, Forbidden Artifacts cannot be destroyed, but who knows if the Whale Island rules will override the two new Forbidden Artifacts, so he told you to plant them elsewhere."
"Where to plant them?" Dayu asked.
"Midway Island," Yang Yang said, "There are no local residents there, but it is North America's submarine cable connection station, submarine base, and naval air force forward base. It is an important naval military base in North America. Creating a Forbidden Zone there, first, because the island restrictions will not spread, and second, it can completely abolish this army transit and distribution place. Planting it here is the best choice."
"Understood," Dayu nodded: "Zard and I will handle this matter."
An hour later, there was a coughing sound from the Restorative Shroud.
Yang Yang quickly opened the Restorative Shroud, and her slender palm reached through the hem of her clothes, groping for the boy's abs: "The wound in the abdomen has healed."
She reached for Qing Chen's chest again, but felt a deep blood groove: "The wound on the chest has not been restored."
Qing Chen said palely: "You are checking too carefully."
Yang Yang's small hand moved: "Come on, let me check other places again, so I don't miss any problems."
Qing Chen smiled and grabbed her wrist: "Stop, stop, how can you treat the injured like this? Where's the black ointment, let me put some on my chest."
"I'll help you apply it," Yang Yang became excited when she saw that Qing Chen was fine.
After applying the ointment, Yang Yang handed Beyond the Three Realms to Qing Chen. Qing Chen put it back on his wrist and said, "Please take me back to the top of the mountain, my backpack and snowboard are still there."
Yang Yang flew away with him, picked up the snowboard on the mountain, and returned to the top of Pearl Peak Mount Everest.
Qing Chen slowly opened his backpack and took out a new set of snowboard buckles. This set was intact and had not been tampered with.
Yang Yang was stunned for a moment: "You want to continue the Trials of Life and Death challenge?"
"Yes," Qing Chen nodded and carefully put on his equipment again: "We are about to cross over, we have to explore the Fire Seed Company's secret base underground, and we have to face the pressure from the Demi-God, of course we have to complete the challenge before crossing over. An hour is enough."
Yang Yang thought for a while and said: "But you still have injuries on your body, you haven't seen how pale your face is, it's not too late to wait for the wound on your chest to heal."
Qing Chen recalled what Sherpa had said: The difficulties that appear on a journey are just a test. Since you have decided to set off, you should not be deterred by wind or rain.
Otherwise, you will blame the bad weather today and the bad luck tomorrow. When will you reach the end?
Qing Chen put on his snowboard, sat on the edge of Pearl Peak Mount Everest, looked at the black storm sweeping overhead, and said with a smile: "In the beginning, I climbed Qingshan Cliff, and someone shot me with a crossbow from behind, and I could continue to climb up. At that time, I was thinking, what else do I have to lose? A barefoot person is not afraid of someone wearing shoes."
"Later, I was no longer the penniless kid. I possessed wealth that many people would never achieve in their lives, and organizations and forces that many people could not establish in their lives. So, later I always hoped that my Trials of Life and Death could be more stable, and I must carry out the challenge in the best state, without distractions."
"But now I find that when I get involved in the core of two worlds, that kind of opportunity simply does not exist. There will always be people who want to jump out and set up conspiracies for you, and there will always be people who want to hinder your progress. I can never wait for that opportunity without distractions."
Qing Chen: "On Whale Island, I brought out so many Knights. I thought I was going to teach them some principles, but later I found that they taught me many things. I watched Hu Jingyi, that idiot, pass the Trial of Heart and climb Qingshan Cliff, and then I realized what detours I was taking this time. Sure enough, the process of challenging the Trials of Life and Death is to pass the Trial of Heart again and again."
In this life, every stage has different inner demons. In this journey, Qing Chen has broken the inner demon of cherishing his life after going from a poor boy to the son of a wealthy family.
The pursuit and encirclement along the way were also seen by Qing Chen as part of the Trials of Life and Death.
Knights are born to face dangers and challenges.
Qing Chen stood up, looked at everything down the mountain, and turned to look at Yang Yang with a smile: "Thinking about it, I'm really ashamed. Sometimes I'm not as good as my disciple Hu Jingyi."
Saying that, he turned on the Knight Reverse Breathing Technique, and the ice-blue pattern did not bloom on his face. The real ice-blue pattern was hidden under the mask.
This Breathing Technique will last for an hour. During this time, he will not be able to use the Knight's abilities, and even the cloud in his body will shrink into his heart.
The next second, he reversed the Breathing Technique of Myriad Gods Thunder Technique. In just an instant, the thunder plasma in his body shrank into his mind.
Both Breathing Techniques last for an hour. Within this hour, Qing Chen is a completely ordinary person. Even if an F-Class were to kill him on the road, he would probably die.
Qing Chen put on his goggles: "Where is life going? I can't die, so I'll keep moving forward!"
After saying that, he suddenly jumped from the top of the mountain and landed lightly on the snow slope below, sprinting towards a new life.
Although his body was broken, his spiritual will was rich and intense to the extreme.
Yang Yang sat on the top of the mountain with her chin in her hands, looking at the boy with shining eyes. She knew why she liked this person.
Knights are born with a special personal charm. By their side, you can see a different world.
Yang Yang didn't look any further, because she knew that Qing Chen, who had been transformed again, would surely succeed.
Presumably, the next time they meet, the other party will already be an A-Class Knight.
