I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 263 The ferocious statue

This tree is a hundred feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, emitting a faint light. Zhao Qi guessed that this tree was the location of the illusion's formation, so he waved his sword and rushed towards it.

A sharp sword light flashed, and the giant tree fell down.

As the giant tree fell, the surrounding beasts and plants also disappeared. Zhao Qi knew that he had successfully passed the first level of illusion.

However, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the second illusion immediately appeared in front of him.

This time it was a hell world full of mountains of swords and seas of fire, with countless sharp blades and blazing flames attacking him.

Zhao Qi gritted his teeth and waved his sword in a desperate fight with the blades and flames.

There were many injuries on his body, and his clothes were stained red with blood. But he did not give up. He firmly believed that he would be able to defeat this illusion.

With his persistence, he finally found the weakness of the second illusion and successfully cracked it.

However, the third illusion is even more strange and dangerous. It turns out to be a world full of fears and shadows in Zhao Qi's heart.

In this world, Zhao Qi saw the things and scenes he was most afraid of, and his soul was hit and challenged like never before.

Zhao Qi knew that this was the biggest test of his will. He had to overcome his inner fears and shadows in order to pass this illusion.

He closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and rushed towards those fears and shadows with his sword.

With his bravery and determination, those fears and shadows disappeared, revealing an exit to the real world.

Zhao Qi walked out of the exit with firm steps and returned to the store.

He felt as if he had undergone a baptism of rebirth, and his whole person had become more mature and confident.

The sword in his hand seemed to have established some special connection with him. The faint light flowing on the sword seemed to announce to the world that it had a new owner.

The shop owner looked at Zhao Qi and nodded with satisfaction: "Congratulations on passing the trial. This sword now belongs to you."

Zhao Qizhen carefully put the sword into its scabbard and bowed deeply to the shopkeeper: "Thank you, senior, for your advice."

He knew that this trial not only gave him a sword, but also gave him a deeper understanding of his own heart. This will be one of his most valuable assets in his future spiritual practice.

He knew that he had passed the test of the sword and became its true master.

"Great! Brother Zhao Qi, you got this sword!" Lan Lingling jumped up happily.

Yi Wuxiao also patted Zhao Qi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Zhao Qi! With this sword, our strength can be improved a lot!"

Zhao Qi did not speak. He just stared at the sword in his hand quietly, feeling the wonderful connection between it and himself.

He knew that this sword would become his right-hand man on his future adventures.

The moment Zhao Qi stepped forward to take the sword, he immediately felt a powerful force pouring into his body. He grasped the hilt of the sword and waved it gently, and suddenly felt an invisible sword energy radiating from the sword, tearing apart the surrounding air.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the store door. Immediately afterwards, a burly man with a ferocious face broke in, followed by several men with weapons.

"Haha, I'm so lucky today, I actually met some fat sheep here!"

The big man glanced around the three people in the shop with wide eyes, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling immediately leaned together nervously, while Zhao Qi clenched the sword in his hand, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time. He knew that the first battle of this expedition was about to begin.

The big man didn't take action immediately, he seemed to be waiting for something.

Zhao Qi did not act rashly. He was observing the opponent's movements and looking for the best opportunity to take action.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the store: "Guests, welcome to the store. I wonder if you are satisfied with the treasures in the store?"

Everyone looked around and saw an old man walking out from behind the counter. He was wearing a green robe and holding a whisk in his hand. He looked quite immortal.

"Old man, stop talking nonsense!" The big man glared at the old man, "Hurry up and hand over the most valuable treasure in your store, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The old man did not show any fear. He smiled slightly and said: "Although the shop is simple, every treasure has its own unique value and meaning. I wonder what the customer wants?"

The big man choked at the old man's words. He glanced around the treasures in the shop with wide eyes, and finally fixed his gaze on the sword in Zhao Qi's hand.

"That sword looks good, I want it!" The big man pointed at the sword in Zhao Qi's hand and said.

Zhao Qi sneered and clenched the sword in his hand. He knew that this battle was inevitable.

"Want this sword?" Zhao Qi raised the sword in his hand, "Then let's see if you have the ability!"

As he spoke, he flashed and turned into a sword light and rushed towards the big man.

The big man did not show any weakness and fought with Zhao Qi with the weapons in his hands.

The sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded in the shop, and the figures of the two people flashed rapidly in the dim light, which was dazzling.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling were not idle either. They used their specialties to play an important role in the battle.

Yi Wuxiao relied on his agility to shuttle freely on the battlefield, causing some trouble for the big man from time to time; while Lan Lingling used her proficient spells to launch long-range attacks on the big man. Although the damage was not high, it was enough to distract him. .

The old man did not stand idly by. He waved the whisk in his hand and wandered around the battlefield, releasing some strange spells from time to time to support Zhao Qi and others.

Although his spells may seem inconspicuous, they can always play an important role at critical moments.

After the battle lasted for about the time of a cup of tea, the big man finally showed his defeat.

His movements became slower and slower, and his attacks became weaker and weaker. It was obvious that he had exhausted his energy.

Zhao Qi caught a flaw and stabbed his chest with a sword. The big man wanted to dodge but it was too late. He could only watch the sword light penetrate his chest.

"You...you actually..." The big man stared at Zhao Qi with unwillingness and anger on his face, but in the end he fell to the ground and lost his breath.

Zhao Qi put away his sword and turned to look at the old man: "Thank you, senior, for your help." He knew that without the old man's help, this battle might not end so easily.

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young man is very brave. This sword is very suitable for you. I hope you can treat it well." As he spoke, he waved the fly whisk in his hand, and the light that originally shrouded the sword immediately Gone.

Zhao Qi took the sword and bowed deeply: "Thank you, senior, for giving me the sword!" He knew that this sword was of great significance to him, and his strength would be greatly improved with it.

The old man nodded and said nothing more. He turned and disappeared into the darkness behind the counter.

Zhao Qi and others did not stay any longer. They walked out of the store and embarked on the adventure again.

However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly felt a mysterious force spying on them secretly. This force is powerful and hidden, making them feel very uneasy.

"Someone is coming." Zhao Qi said in a low voice with a serious look on his face, "Everyone, be careful."

The three of them immediately looked around vigilantly and prepared themselves for emergencies. However, that mysterious power did not appear, as if it was just testing their strength.

"I wonder where this power comes from?" Yi Wuxiao said with a frown.

"I don't know." Zhao Qi shook his head and said solemnly, "But I feel that the secrets hidden in Shadow Town are far more complicated than we imagined."

The three of them looked at each other, their hearts filled with vigilance and expectation for the unknown.

Zhao Qi put the sword into its sheath, turned around and walked out.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling followed closely behind him, and the three of them walked out of the ancient shop together and returned to the streets of Shadow Town.

The town, still dark and mysterious at night, seems to have become darker.

Zhao Qi looked up at the sky, his heart full of expectations and confidence for the future.

The night is getting darker, and Shadow Town is shrouded in a layer of mysterious darkness. Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling quietly moved towards the core area of ​​the town through the faint moonlight.

Their steps were light and firm, as if they were searching for some important goal in the darkness.

"Brother Qi, are you sure we want to come here?" Yi Wuxiao asked nervously, "This is the most mysterious place in Shadow Town. It is said that ghosts often appear at night."

Zhao Qi glared at him, with a teasing smile on his lips: "What, are you scared? Why don't you go back first, and Lingling and I can go alone."

"Who said I'm scared?" Yi Wuxiao straightened his chest immediately, "I'm not afraid of anything, Yi Wuxiao! I'm just worried about you."

Lan Lingling smiled softly and said nothing. She knew that the teasing between Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao was a tacit understanding between them and a way to ease the tension.

They passed through several narrow streets and came to a deserted open space.

In the center of the clearing stands an ancient temple. The walls of the temple are covered with mottled marks, as if they have been there for a long time. The door of the temple was closed tightly, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

"This is it." Zhao Qi whispered, "This temple enshrines a ferocious-looking statue. It is said that this statue is closely related to the secrets of Shadow Town."

Yi Wuxiao looked around curiously: "It looks like no one has been here for a long time. Do we really want to go in?"

"Of course we have to go in." Zhao Qi said without hesitation, "Only by finding out the truth can we restore peace to Shadow Town."

They pushed open the door of the temple, and a biting cold wind immediately hit them.

The interior of the temple was dark and gloomy, with only a few flickering oil lamps giving off a faint light.

On the altar in the center, there is a statue of a ferocious-looking god enshrined. The statue's eyes were bright, as if watching their every move.

Zhao Qi stepped forward and observed the statue carefully. He found that the statue seemed to be holding an ancient book in its hands.

His heart moved and he tried to get the book. However, the moment he touched the statue, a powerful force suddenly surged out from the statue, knocking him back a few steps.

"Be careful!" Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling exclaimed at the same time.

Zhao Qi stabilized his figure and was secretly vigilant. He knew that there must be some mysterious power hidden in this temple, and they must deal with it carefully.

He stepped forward again, this time he did not touch the statue directly, but used his spiritual power to gently wrap the book, and then slowly took it out from the hands of the statue.

The cover of the classics has turned yellow and is covered with ancient runes and patterns.

Zhao Qi carefully opened the first page of the classic, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the content inside.

The history and secrets of Shadow Town are recorded in the classics, including how the Viper Gang used the mysterious power of the town to benefit themselves, and their relationship with the Snakes and Ming trio.

"It turns out that the Viper Gang has been secretly controlling Shadow Town." Zhao Qi said in a deep voice, "They use the mysterious power of the town to suppress the residents and seek personal gain. The Snakes and Ming are just one of their pawns."

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling both showed angry looks: "These guys are so abominable! We must expose their conspiracy and restore peace to Shadow Town!"

Zhao Qi nodded: "That's right. But we can't act rashly now. We must first find a way to find out where the Viper Gang is hiding."

The three of them sat together and began to study the contents of the classics carefully.

As they read further, they gradually discover more about the secrets of Shadow Town and the conspiracy of the Viper Gang. Their hearts are full of determination and belief, and they must seek justice for the residents of Shadow Town!
In the deep night, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling were sitting around in a mysterious temple.

The weak candlelight illuminated their nervous and solemn faces, and an indescribable solemn atmosphere filled the air.

In the center of the temple, a ferocious-looking statue stood there. Its eyes seemed to be staring into the endless void, making people shudder.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and slowly opened the ancient book. As the pages of the book were turned, the smell of old paper hit my nostrils.

The densely packed text in the classics records the history and secrets of Shadow Town, and every word seems to carry heavy years.

"It seems that we have found the key." Yi Wuxiao said softly, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Lan Lingling frowned and stared intently at the words in the book. Her lips moved slightly, as if she was silently reciting the contents.
