Chapter 439 Prisoners
Xiang Nan went back to find Dream butterfly and the two of them walked towards the third ring.
"There are still the last three rings, and it's really hard to say if I can make it through the third ring." Xiang Nan said.
Meng Die said, "If you have the Tribulation Finger, you can fight against the Mechanical King of the Third Ring. You shouldn't fall into the next stage."
"But before meeting the Mechanical King, ordinary Mechanical Beasts were all at the ninth level of the Origin Realm. These were the most troublesome ones."
"That's right. The Phaseless Tribulation Finger can't be used against ordinary mechanical beasts. There are too many of them. We can only take one step at a time and see how far we can go." Xiang Nan nodded.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the third ring. Every time they walked into the ring, the circumference of the ring would decrease according to the circumference of the circle, and the number of altars in the ring would decrease accordingly.
But even so, this third ring was a very difficult gap for any martial artist to cross. To the extent that such a rare altar in the third ring had not been destroyed in total, and most of them were still intact.
Xiang Nan patted Dreambutterfly's shoulder and said, "Wait here. I'll go barge in and take a look. If it really doesn't work, we shouldn't be too greedy. We just need to directly cross over to the next floor."
"Alright, take care of yourself." Meng Die instructed Xiang Nan with concern.
Xiang Nan took a deep breath, grabbed the key in his hand, and walked towards the altar. This key was the switch that triggered the altar. Only when he took it would he be able to draw out the mechanical beast. Otherwise, there would be no movement on the altar.
Just as Xiang Nan was about to walk up the first step, he suddenly heard a faint sound of air breaking coming from behind him.
The voice was very, very low and almost inaudible. Xiang Nan's heart trembled and he immediately moved sideways.
At the same time he moved sideways, an arrow pierced through Xiang Nan's trousers with a whoosh, almost hitting his ankle.
"So fast?" Xiang Nan's pupils contracted and he hurriedly turned to look.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
A soft applause sounded as a group of people walked out from the jungle behind them.
Xiang Nan was very surprised when he saw this person.
That arrow was extremely fast. According to Xiang Nan's own guess, it was very likely that it was Dong Wu Shang and the others who threw it with their bare hands.
However, in reality, the person who shot the arrow was actually a woman, and she was also a woman at the fifth level of the Origin Core Realm.
After that group of people walked out, there were first five people dressed in clothes from 80,000 years ago. These five people were four men and one woman. The first man was obviously their leader.
This leader was at the sixth level of the Origin Realm. He wasn't handsome, but he had a grand demeanor. He should have a good background, while the woman had a pretty face. She stood very close to the man and held a longbow in her hand. It was the arrow she had just fired.
Apart from that, the other three were also at the fifth level of Origin Return.
However, what was truly noteworthy to Xiang Nan was that behind these five people, there were six "prisoners" tied with ropes. These six people were actually people that Xiang Nan knew!
"Mingyue Yuan?" Xiang Nan was shocked. Mingyue Yuan was an expert at the mid-Seventh Layer of the Origin Core Realm.
When Xiang Nan fought against Mingyue Yuan in the Black Forest, he knew that this person's skill was extraordinary. Furthermore, he ate a Demon Origin Fruit and raised his cultivation to the mid-Seventh Layer of Origin Return. With his strength, he would actually be captured.
But at this moment, Mingyue Yuan 's condition was very bad. He was already seriously injured, and even one of his left eyes had been blinded. Blood was flowing out. It was obvious that he had experienced a difficult battle.
As for the other five "prisoners", one was the last expert of the Primordial Chaos Sect, the seventh level of the Primordial Return Sect, while the other four were the four seventh level of the Primordial Return Sect experts of the Crimson Tiger Sect and the Black Flag Sect.
These people were all drenched in blood and were beaten half to death.
"You" Xiang Nan took a deep breath and watched in disbelief.
Six seventh level Origin Returning martial artists were beaten like this by one sixth level Origin Returning martial artist and four fifth level Origin Returning martial artists?
"Xiang Nan!" A half-dead Scarlet Tiger martial artist was shocked when he saw Xiang Nan. "Run! Run! Run!"
Xiang Nan saved them from Dong Wu Shang once. They were already grateful to Xiang Nan. When they saw Xiang Nan, the first thing they said was that they were worried about Xiang Nan's safety.
Xiang Nan looked again and saw that the Scarlet Tiger Martial Cultivator's right arm had already disappeared! He was cut off from his shoulder!
"Are you what they call Xiang Nan?" The ancient woman smiled and pulled the bowstring towards Xiang Nan.
"Falcon Strike." The woman indifferently said the two words, and the longbow in her hand immediately loosened. A black arrow turned into a streak of light and shot towards Xiang Nan with a whoosh.
"So fast!" Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. The moment he saw the woman firing the arrow, he began to dodge.
However, the arrow's light was incredibly fast. Even though Xiang Nan dodged in time, he was still pierced through his left sleeve and almost hit his wrist.
Xiang Nan jumped horizontally and the Dragon Blood Saber in his hand fiercely slashed towards the woman.
The crescent saber light flew out and shot straight at the longbow in the woman's hand.
At this moment, the ancient leader smiled. He took a step to the left and accurately grabbed Xiang Nan's saber light with his left hand.
The saber light was actually strangled by the man. It was only buzzing and trembling, but it was unable to move forward at all.
The man smiled and said, "Xiang Nan, I heard this Mingyue Yuan talk about you, but isn't your saber strike too insincere?"
Xiang Nan took a deep breath. He rarely saw such a situation. His saber light could actually be caught barehanded.
The man calmly tossed the saber light away and patted the dust on his shoulder. "Let me introduce myself. To you, I am an ancient person."
"I am a Blue Tide Continent martial artist from eighty thousand years ago. My name is Sima Nantian."
"This is my childhood sweetheart, Chu Yue."
"The other three are all my junior brothers, and we are from the Blue Tide Continent, the Vast Mist Sect."
Xiang Nan frowned. The Vast Mist Sect had never heard of them before, but it was normal. After all, they were martial artists from 80,000 years ago. Xiang Nan said, "What are you trying to do? Why did you hurt people for no reason?"
Although Mingyue Yuan and the others weren't considered friends of Xiang Nan, they had experienced life and death with Xiang Nan before. Moreover, Xiang Nan had risked his life to save them from Dong Wu Shang and the other old monsters.
But now, it was tortured into this state by five ancient people.
This made Xiang Nan feel very uncomfortable.
This feeling is very wonderful. After all, Xiang Nan and Mingyue Yuan are people of the same generation. People of the same generation can fight amongst themselves, but it's not up to you ancient fellows to judge.
Sima Nantian smiled and said, "To be honest, our five brothers and sisters have already broken through the third ring three times. They have all failed three times."
"I heard this Mingyue Yuan say that you have mastered a martial skill called the Fingerless Tribulation, which can lower a martial artist's realm. I am very interested in it."
"If you can come and help us, we will definitely be able to break through the third ring."
