The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 177 Everyone Shows Their Magical Powers

In the center of the main hall maze, everyone discussed for a while, but there was no other good solution. Tang Tong said: "I think Brother Chengfeng's method can be tried. After all, we don't know anything now. Although this method is stupid, it is the only one we can try now." Pan Chengfeng's face darkened, and he thought to himself: "What do you mean by stupid? If you have the ability, come up with a smart method!" Pan Chengfeng looked at the four entrances of the maze and said: "There are six of us, four entrances, how are we going to go?" Chu Xuanji thought for a while and said: "Tang Tong and I will each have one entrance, Brother Chu Hao and Martial Dao Friend will each have one entrance, and my brother will go with Master Wu. After all, your combat power will not be affected much, and we will be relieved if you protect Master Wu. How about this arrangement?"

Everyone nodded and said, "No problem." Master Wu walked up to Pan Chengfeng and bowed, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist." Pan Chengfeng replied, "Master, you're welcome. I'll have to trouble you to find another formation later." Master Wu said, "It's my job." After everyone discussed it, Chu Xuan Ji said, "Everyone please mark the way along the way. No matter what, come back here to gather in three days. Whoever finds the exit first will come back to lead everyone out." Pan Chengfeng didn't say much. He just randomly chose an entrance on the right and punched the wall. A fist mark appeared on the wall. Pan Chengfeng said, "Master Wu, let's go this way. Everyone, I'll leave first, you can do whatever you want." Master Wu followed Pan Chengfeng into the entrance. Everyone looked at each other and chose an entrance to enter.

Pan Chengfeng walked along, leaving fist marks along the way. When he came to a fork in the road, he left a mark at the fork and chose to go directly to the left. In this way, Pan Chengfeng kept walking and did not encounter anything strange. People at other entrances did the same thing, leaving marks along the way. A day later, no one knew how many forks they had walked, and finally after Pan Chengfeng stepped into a small square room, the whole hall began to shake again. Master Wu looked serious and said slowly: "Another formation has also been activated, it turned out to be the 'Thousand Illusions Mystery Formation'. It seems that something threatening is coming." Pan Chengfeng asked: "Illusion formation?"

Master Wu nodded, and said excitedly and nervously: "Yes, this formation has a very strong illusion ability, even the spiritual sense of the Void Refining cultivator cannot distinguish it. It can create countless phantoms, making it difficult for people to distinguish the real from the fake, which is very dangerous. The arrangement of this formation has been lost, and I have only read about it in books. Today, I actually encountered it!" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Master, don't be nervous. This also shows that we are on the right path, which is why we triggered this formation. Now we just need to keep going and we will definitely find the exit."

Master Wu also laughed after hearing what Pan Chengfeng said, and said jokingly: "Haha, fellow Daoist is in a good mood and can still think in a positive direction at this time. But what you said is also right. Since the formation has been activated, it proves that the direction we chose should be correct." Pan Chengfeng said: "Master Wu, on the way here, I saw that you needed to rest for three or two days. How come you persisted for a whole day under such circumstances? Why don't we rest in this small room for a while? The gravity here seems to have a great impact on you."

Master Wu found a place to sit down and said, "If it were normal times, I would feel tired even if I was only half a day away, not to mention a whole day. The situation is different. At that time, we were just on the road, so it didn't matter if we were a day faster or slower. Now, the sooner we get out, the safer we will be..." When he was halfway through his speech, he suddenly heard a clicking sound outside. Pan Chengfeng felt that the sound was very familiar. Master Wu was shocked and said, "Puppets!" Pan Chengfeng also saw that the four exits of the small room were all filled with puppets. They looked the same as the incarnation puppets in the front yard, but their eyes were not red, but green. The four doors were filled with puppets, and it looked like they would rush in in a second.

Master Wu hid behind Pan Chengfeng nervously and said hurriedly: "Fellow Daoist Pan, what should we do? There are puppets everywhere!" Pan Chengfeng looked around, then confirmed it again and said: "Master, have you noticed that these puppets seem to be lingering at the door and can't get in." Master Wu was too nervous to notice it just now, but after being reminded by Pan Chengfeng, he also noticed it. The puppets all surrounded the door and didn't dare to come in. Pan Chengfeng said: "This small room should be specially arranged by the owner of this place for people to rest. It's very humane. Now I don't think it's dangerous here. Let's have a good rest. I will lead the way later, and Master can follow."

Everyone was in a similar situation, only Chu Xuanji was unlucky. Before he even got to the room, the formation was activated. Looking at the puppets in front of him, Chu Xuanji's face was solemn, and he thought to himself, "Why are there so many?" Chu Xuanji was in front of a dark mass of at least seventy or eighty puppets, blocking the road. However, as a peak being of the Spiritualization Realm, he dared to walk alone, so he naturally had his own confidence.

The puppets had no thoughts, and they rushed up in a group. Chu Xuanji kicked the puppet's head off with a kick, and then kicked it in a flurry, just like Taekwondo, and kicked the puppet's head with every move. After fighting all the way, they finally found the room. As soon as they entered the small room, they found the room special, and thought to themselves: "It seems that this room is specially for people to rest. I didn't expect that the second formation is related to illusions. It wasted a lot of my energy!" I found a place to sit down and rest to recover my strength.

Pan Chengfeng and Master Wu rested for two hours. Seeing that Master Wu had almost recovered, Pan Chengfeng stood up and said, "Let's go!" Pan Chengfeng took the lead. As soon as he faced the first puppet, Pan Chengfeng frowned and thought to himself, "It's much stronger than those outside. It has at least 15 pounds of strength. I wonder if they are the same. I hope Brother Chu is okay." The thought flashed through his mind, and Pan Chengfeng focused on dealing with the puppets. Looking up, he saw a dense crowd of puppets. Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "How long will it take to kill them?" Master Wu said, "There should be many illusions here, real and fake. Fellow Taoist, you should be more careful." Master Wu was behind Pan Chengfeng and could do nothing. He could only remind him of some things about the formation. When Pan Chengfeng heard this, his spiritual consciousness left his body and could actually extend to meters. He was shocked. The most important thing is that his spiritual consciousness can actually distinguish the true and false illusions!

Chu Hao and Wu Xunjie were also fighting desperately. After leaving the room, they were entangled by a group of puppets. They were already exhausted, and now with the influence of illusions, both of them were injured. Chu Hao hurriedly said: "No, retreat, if we continue like this, we will be exhausted to death, and there is also the influence of illusions, it will be dangerous if we get injured again!" Wu Xunjie punched the puppet that rushed over, and the puppet suddenly disappeared. Wu Xunjie staggered, and a puppet next to him took the opportunity to kick him in the abdomen. Fortunately, when Wu Xunjie was young, he liked to fight with others, and practiced a few punches and kicks. His reaction was not slow. He hurriedly raised his right knee to block the attack. Taking advantage of the situation, he returned to Chu Hao's side. Both of them were half a step away from reaching the peak of the spirit transformation. Their physical strength alone was close to hundreds of thousands of pounds. Although they were a little stronger than these puppets, there were too many puppets, and they were much stronger than the ones in the front yard before. They didn't pay attention at first and were caught off guard, so they were all injured. If he continues to be injured, his combat power will be affected, and then he will be in danger. Wu Xunjie said sullenly, "Let's go. I'll cover the rear, and you lead the way. Let's go back to the room."

On another road, Tang Tong held a handful of gravel in his hand and threw it at the puppet group. The flying stones turned into countless straight lines. Tang Tong glanced at them and knew what was going on. He rushed through the puppet group, and the fan in his hand kept drawing beautiful arcs. More than a dozen puppets fell down directly with black smoke. Tang Tong opened the fan with a swish, fanned it a few times, and said proudly: "It's just an illusion. I still have a way to deal with it." After that, he continued to move forward while shaking the fan. It seemed that among all people, except Pan Chengfeng, Tang Tong felt the most relaxed.

On another road, Chu Xuanji looked at the puppet group that appeared in front of him again, and said helplessly: "It seems that we have to take real action, otherwise we really can't get out of here." Chu Xuanji took out a short sword from his right hand and said secretly: "Sword, sword, I'm sorry to have wronged you. Now I will use it as an ordinary weapon." Chu Xuanji held the short sword in reverse, his eyes changed instantly, and he rushed directly into the group of puppets, regardless of whether they were real or fake, he would just use a sword to pass through. When Chu Xuanji stopped, there were more than a hundred puppets behind him, and only a few dozen of them fell down with black smoke. Chu Xuanji put away the dagger and said: "This mortal's martial arts are really good. This set of Yuxiao swordsmanship, plus my physical strength as a cultivator, is as powerful as any advanced magic." For this operation, Chu Xuanji practiced swordsmanship for ten years.

Each group had their own way to move forward, only Chu Hao and Wu Xunjie were trapped in the room. Pan Chengfeng cleared the puppets along the way and made marks at the same time. Pan Chengfeng now only slightly activated the Overlord Fist, increasing his strength to about 30 pounds, and all the puppets were no match for him. Master Wu didn't know how to describe his surprise. He also saw that these puppets were much stronger than those outside before, but they still couldn't hinder Pan Chengfeng's progress. The key is that Pan Chengfeng seems to be able to recognize the authenticity of the illusion, which makes Master Wu really confused. He wanted to ask, but he felt that it seemed rude to ask, and his expression of wanting to say something but stopping looked a little funny.

Everyone was trying to find a way out. Pan Chengfeng had gone back and forth countless times, and the others were almost the same. Even Chu Hao and Wu Xunjie walked out of the room, carefully groping for a way out. They were caught off guard at first, and after resting for a few hours, they regrouped and continued to move forward. Everyone felt that it was not that easy to solve this maze. It required patience, wisdom, and even more strength.
