Chapter 4: Seventy-two Bronze Men!

  Rumble...

  The pitch-black gate opened its huge mouth and swallowed Tang Lin in, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

  Zhao Ziyu looked at Tang Lin's back and asked Xie Jianfeng, "I heard you two are from the same hometown, why do you look like you have a grudge against each other?"

  Xie Jianfeng glanced at her and didn't say a word.

  "Hmph, what's with the attitude." Zhao Ziyu looked displeased.

  "How long can he last?" Wang Yong asked with a slight smile beside him.

  Zhao Ziyu murmured: "Looking at him swaying back and forth on the wooden stake earlier, I reckon it's quite precarious. Who knows, he might just fall over in less than a minute."

  "Mmm." The others nodded in agreement.

  "Hmph!" Xie Jianfeng's expression was cold and proud, saying: "He can at least last three minutes!"

  Zhao Ziyu gave him a sidelong glance and said, "How did you know? What if I couldn't hold on?"

  "I won't hold on, I'll cut off one of my wrists!" Xie Jianfeng said coldly.

  Several people were shocked.

  "Aren't you and he sworn enemies?" Zhao Zi'er couldn't help but say.

  Xie Jianfeng glanced at her and didn't say a word.

  Sometimes, the people who understand us best may be our enemies rather than our friends. This is perhaps one of humanity's greatest tragedies.

  "I don't believe it." Zhao Ziyu said lightly: "Although he is only thirteen years old, with a rare talent, but that doesn't explain anything. I've heard my father say since I was young, some people are born with five flowers on their head, able to wield true energy, equivalent to the power of a second-level warrior, but when it comes to actual combat, they can barely manage."

  "Power can be obtained through eating elixirs and encountering strange events. However, martial arts skills require millions of times of bitter practice to achieve, and being older has some advantages."

  What she said makes some sense.

  Liu Hui also nodded slightly, smiling and saying: "As long as you work hard, all of you have the hope to surpass him. Our martial arts hall has had ten-year-old martial artists before, I've seen a few in the past, but in the end they all became ordinary."

  Zhao Ziyu nodded heavily, deeply in agreement.

  ……

  Iron Tower Pass, first floor.

  This is a huge elliptical room with solid marble walls all around, inlaid with night pearls and spirit stones.

  After Tang Lin entered, the large gate behind him closed heavily, isolating safety on the other side. What was presented before him were seventy-two steel-like copper men.

  These seventy-two bronze men stood randomly, and at the moment when the gate closed, two red lights seemed to flash in the pupils of each bronze man's eyes. Their steel bodies trembled, and then the eight bronze men in the front row rushed towards Tang Lin first.

  Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, these eight bronze men actually all had the strength of high-level martial artists!

  "Chi Power!" Tang Lin directly released the Chi Power unique to warriors, his palm slapped out, a white light flashed by, and this copper man's body was incredibly hard, actually absorbing the Chi Power.

  "Not good!" Tang Lin's body immediately retreated violently.

  At this moment, the seventy-two bronze men moved together, flowing towards Tang Lin like a stream of light, quickly wrapping his body in the center, and the sound of steel friction rose for a while.

  Boom!

  Tang Lin's back was punched by a fist and his body flew forward. At the same time, fists were swung from both his left and right sides.

  Boom boom boom~~

  Tang Lin's body was like a sandbag, hit by seven or eight iron fists, his entire skeleton in severe pain, his body flying backward and heavily crashing to the ground.

  "This is too strong!" Tang Lin bitterly smiled, "Don't mention lasting three minutes, even one minute is very difficult. These monsters are immune to internal energy and don't have any weak points that can be struck again, so we can only keep attacking and fighting back. If this continues, our physical strength will eventually be exhausted."

  Now think about it...

  That Zhao Ziyu, Xie Jianfeng can persist here for five minutes, seven minutes, it's really unbelievable!

  It's tough, too tough!

  Tang Lin thought of his second sister in his heart.

  "I don't know how Eldest Sister managed to clear all three levels in just half a year. The first level is already this difficult, I'm afraid the second level will be even more abnormal." Tang Lin thought to himself.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Several bronze men surrounded him.

  Tang Lin stuck to the wall, looking at the dense copper men in front of him. Suddenly, a clever idea flashed through his mind, "With my back against the wall, I only need to face the copper men in front of me. No matter how many copper men there are, only five or six can face me at the same time."

  Tang Lin immediately cast "Pure Yang Return to One" and defended himself.

  His two legs sank down, his palms slowly rotated, as if taking the air as water waves, gently pushing away, each one was extremely slow, but with a strange rhythm.

  Boom! Boom!

  Fierce iron fists came crashing down, and Tang Lin's palm hooked, pulled, and drew, deflecting these iron fists away.

  Boom boom boom~~~~

  A fist like a stormy rainstorm smashed towards Tang Lin's face.

  Tang Lin's palm pushed out, but under the pressure of this huge fist, he still couldn't exert himself freely. His body was hit again without being able to fight back, like a sandbag, and was thrown by Tongren to crash into the wall.

  "Cough..." Tang Lin's mouth overflowed with fresh blood, and the intense pain stirred up a fierce anger deep within his heart. His eyes flashed with a cruel light, he gritted his teeth, stood up straight, and once again unleashed "Pure Yang Return to One".

  Boom boom boom~~

  Iron fists came like a stormy rain.

  Tang Lin blocked over a dozen punches, his body retreating several steps back before continuing to block. Soon, both of his hands felt as if they were swelling up and almost lost all sensation.

  His palm's skeletal structure was tempered to be even harder, but it still couldn't withstand this true steel, his skin was rubbed raw and torn.

  "It can't go on like this." Tang Lin's face was gloomy, "That Xie Jianfeng must have used a powerful body technique to wander around here and hold on. I don't have any body techniques, only brute force."

  "We can't drag this out, we must end it quickly!" Tang Lin gritted his teeth.

  "Dragon Stripe Power!"

  His right hand lifted, and a golden dragon pattern force floated on his arm. Tang Lin let out a loud roar and charged forward at the copper man in front of him.

  Boom!

  The copper man's chest was hit, and his body flew backward, knocking down several copper men behind him.

  Tang Lin roared and swung his fist at the copper man who was attacking from the left!

  Boom!

  The copper man was immediately knocked flying!

  "Come on, come on!" Tang Lin roared, swinging his right fist and punching the copper man who was rushing towards him with a series of punches!

  Smash! Smash! Smash!

  The copper men around him were immediately punched and flew out as soon as they approached Tang Lin, and for a while, no copper man could get close.

  Tang Lin's gaze was fixed on the top of the elliptical room, where there was a staircase leading to the pitch-black giant gate on the second floor.

  Whoosh!

  Tang Lin's body flashed and he rushed towards the stairs.

  At this moment, the copper men's eyes around burst out with red light, as if they had become violent, and rushed over to block the stone steps, making it impossible to pass through. Moreover, there were thirty-two copper men who formed a strange large array, wrapping Tang Lin inside.

  Boom boom boom~~

  The giant needle made of copper men was shrinking, Tang Lin's body was trapped inside, and fists were rushing in from all sides, unable to defend against them.

  Boom!

  The back of his head was punched and Tang Lin almost fainted.

  "Bastard!" Tang Lin suddenly became furious, the power of the dragon pattern on his right hand surged greatly, completely disregarding the surrounding fists, and directly punched the copper man in front of him with a loud bang.

  A myriad of changes, I shatter them with one punch!

  Boom!

  When the copper man was hit, his body flew backwards, knocking over several copper men behind him.

  Tang Lin's body flashed and he stepped on the copper man's body, rushing towards the stone steps. However, blocking their way was a wall of copper men.

  A glint of light flashed in Tang Lin's eyes.

  "If I attack the copper man above, the copper man below will grab my feet; if I attack the copper man below, the copper man above will grab my hands."

  Tang Lin looked at the copper man iron wall array, his mind racing to think of a way to crack it. He looked at the highest layer of copper men, if he could directly attack that level, there might be a way to crack it.

  But just flying up so high out of thin air is simply impossible.

  ……

  Iron Tower Pass, outside the gate.

  "Six minutes have passed and he still hasn't come out." Zhao Ziyu's expression was one of shock, "He won't be beaten to death in there, will he?"

  Liu Hui was taken aback and lost his smile, saying: "How is that possible? The copper men in the Iron Tower are all treasures from the 'Ruins of the Ancient Caverns'. Every 72 copper men form a set of treasures. After being modified by the pavilion owner, these copper men will not continue to attack as long as they sense that someone's life force has dropped below a certain level. If someone is trapped inside and struggles to survive, at most they will only be seriously injured, but not killed."

  "He's so ordinary." Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but say, "He should have been beaten to a pulp long ago. With so many copper men attacking him, even if I were to use my full strength to dodge, it would be impossible. Is he actually fighting back against these copper men?"

  Wang Yong and others beside him exchanged a glance, their expressions strange.

  What's going on with He and Tong?

  They have all experienced the power of the bronze men, although they only have the strength of high-level martial artists. These bronze men are completely impervious to pain and are covered in steel from head to toe. If one person were to continuously punch and kick at the steel, it would be nothing short of self-torture!

  Xie Jianfeng looked at the pitch-black giant door, his eyebrows furrowed, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

  Time flies second by second.

  "Eight minutes... nine minutes." Liu Hui gazed at the pitch-black giant door, his eyes filled with astonishment. "Actually managed to hold on for nine minutes!"

  The rest of them were also unbelievable.

  Especially Xu Yan, who only lasted for two minutes, had a shocked expression on her beautiful face. She deeply felt the horror of this group of bronze men and did not expect that someone in this group could last so long!

  "Huh?" Liu Hui suddenly looked up.

  "What!" Liu Hui's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with astonishment. "Actually, actually broke through the pass?!"

  ……

  Found that the recommended votes are still less than 800, embarrassing, this is unscientific, unexpectedly no change, tears streaming down my face begging for votes~~~
