Chapter 250 Courage is commendable
Zhang Liang walked in front, taking Dongfang Jun with him, quickly crossing the busy streets and rushing towards their destination.
They had no idea that a carefully planned trap was waiting for them.
...
...
After walking for a while, the little golden monkey who was originally leading the way suddenly turned around, pointed ahead and shook his head.
Zhang Liang asked: "Are there any problems ahead? Is there any danger that we need to avoid?"
The little golden monkey nodded.
Zhang Liang thought for a moment and planned to take a detour, but he looked around and could not find any other way. So he had to continue moving forward, but at a slower pace to maintain sufficient physical strength to deal with possible crises.
They moved forward cautiously, and a tombstone standing under the neon lights of the city gradually became clear.
The tombstone was the same as the one he had seen before, except for the environment. Zhang Liang slowly pulled Dongfang Jun and tried to go around it, but the tombstone didn't seem to give them a chance.
As he approached the tombstone, a cloud of green smoke suddenly emerged from the tombstone. Zhang Liang immediately felt the danger approaching, but it was too late to escape.
He pulled Dongfang Jun back, but found that he seemed to have hit an invisible barrier. He reached out and touched it, and indeed felt a thin barrier. He punched, but was hit back, and the force went back along his fist, causing him to retreat.
Dongfang Jun quickly supported Zhang Liang. At this time, a voice sounded:
"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Zhang Liang looked in the direction of the sound and saw the green smoke rising from the tombstone slowly transform into an old man in black.
Zhang Liang asked: "Who are you?"
The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry about who I am. If you can leave alive, you will know. If you die here, it will be meaningless to know me."
Hearing this, Zhang Liang realized that there was still a possibility of survival.
He quickly asked, "Senior, please give us any conditions you want, as long as you let us go."
The old man nodded. "To pass through my place, there is only one requirement: defeat me. Don't worry, I have been weak for a long time and I won't go all out. If you can withstand ten of my moves, I will let you go and reveal some information that may help you leave this place. But if you can't withstand ten moves, you will die."
After saying this, the old man stopped talking.
Zhang Liang and Dongfang Jun exchanged glances and nodded.
Zhang Liang said to the old man, "Please teach me, senior. I would like to ask for your advice. I hope you will show mercy."
The old man in black nodded.
Dongfang Jun and the little golden monkey stepped aside, leaving the battlefield to Zhang Liang and the old man.
The old man's illusory figure gradually solidified.
"Take my first move, 'Mountain and River Seal'!"
The old man raised his arms, and the power of heaven and earth gathered in his hands. Then a huge golden mark was formed, and it flew towards Zhang Liang with the power of heaven and earth.
Zhang Liang did not dare to neglect it, even though it was only the old man's first move. But he had already sensed the omen of death from this move.
"The first move of Zhenwu Sword Technique, 'Mountain Opening Move'!"
He made his move instantly, and sword energy came out from the Changsheng Sword and merged with the Kaishan Style.
The two collided, and Zhang Liang's mountain-opening style only blocked it for a short moment. The sword energy shattered, and the golden seal rushed straight to Zhang Liang with even stronger power.
Zhang Liang quickly performed the second, third, and fourth moves.
He used four sword moves before he could barely block the old man's first move.
The old man nodded and said calmly, "Not bad."
He didn't give Zhang Liang a chance to breathe, and launched his second, third and fourth moves at the same time.
Zhang Liang was extremely anxious and used his twelfth move, the "Earth Breaking Style", before he was able to barely block it.
The twelfth move was destroyed together with the old man's moves. Zhang Liang gasped for breath. This was the first time he used all the moves.
The originally endless supply of true energy could not keep up with the consumption at this moment, and only half of the true energy in Zhang Liang's body was left.
The old man said, "Be careful, I will combine the remaining six moves into one. If you can take it, you can leave. If you can't take it, you will die."
Zhang Liang nodded helplessly and quickly recovered his strength.
The old man in black put his palms on the ground, as if absorbing something.
Zhang Liang suddenly felt that the energy of heaven and earth around him was rapidly dissipating.
Gradually, a sphere formed by the power of heaven and earth condensed in the old man's hand.
Zhang Liang understood that he had to take the initiative to attack at this time. If he did not interrupt the old man's absorption, death would be his only outcome.
He used the sixteenth move of the Zhenwu sword technique, "Kai Tian Style", which he could currently practice, and stabbed at the old man in black.
The old man in black looked at Zhang Liang who was rushing towards him and said with a smile: "You are brave, but it's too late."
Zhang Liang saw that the ball in the old man's hand had taken shape and was throwing it towards him.
He couldn't dodge, if he dodged, Dongfang Jun and the little golden monkey would be in danger.
The Changsheng Sword instantly pierced the sphere, and the Kaishan Style only blocked it for a moment.
A powerful force surged into Zhang Liang's body through the sword. His defense was useless. The force broke through everything like a torrent and filled his whole body.
Zhang Liang thought he was doomed, but the jade in his brain glowed, and the violent power in his body was instantly absorbed by the jade. Although the power in his body disappeared, the damage caused by the brief contact made him even more injured.
The meridians were broken, and Zhang Liang collapsed to the ground exhausted...
