Chapter 325, The Corridor Murals

“I’d like to see where else you can run!” Li Aofeng mocked, without any hesitation.

The Eight Legged Wolf Spider tore viciously toward his opponent.

Just as the Eight Legged Wolf Spider approached Qin Yichen with its sharp wind-splitting sound, Qin Yichen’s expression finally lost its ferocity. Instead, it was filled with a calm but extremely sharp light.

“Lightning God Fist… Second Earth-Shaking Punch!”

A brilliant lightning fist several times stronger than before howled forth, carrying a momentum that seemed capable of destroying everything, rushing toward the Eight Legged Wolf Spider.

*Bang!* With a huge sound, the Eight Legged Wolf Spider’s body was actually sent flying back under this punch, with Power of Lightning seeming to flicker across its metallic body.

As for Qin Yichen, several savage wounds now appeared on his chest. From the torn flesh, white bone was faintly visible.

Just before being sent flying back, the Eight Legged Wolf Spider had severely wounded him with just a few slashes.

*Poof!* Li Aofeng spat out a mouthful of blood. That punch had injured the Eight Legged Wolf Spider and caused him significant internal injuries. Though compared to Qin Yichen’s wounds, his condition was obviously somewhat better.

Cold light flickered in Li Aofeng’s eyes as he could sense that his opponent was in extremely poor condition, with even his Life Force slowly dissipating.

“*Cough cough…* You bastard, how dare you injure my Martial Soul!” Li Aofeng coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, walking unsteadily toward Qin Yichen. He wanted to fulfill his promise – to break Qin Yichen’s bones one by one to vent his anger!

“Hmm?” Just as Li Aofeng reached Qin Yichen’s front and prepared to restrain him, his body suddenly trembled as a deadly threat arose from the bottom of his heart.

This feeling had saved him countless times.

Li Aofeng immediately acted without hesitation, moving his consciousness to have the Eight Legged Wolf Spider Martial Soul shield his body.

*Whoosh!*

A green light flashed past like a rainbow piercing the Sun, leaving a bone-deep wound on his chest.

Blood flowed freely, instantly dying his entire body red.

“How is this possible!?”

Li Aofeng could not believe his defense had been torn through so easily.

Then, he saw a figure like a deity, with the momentum of a Demon God, walking toward him. The pressure made it difficult for him to even breathe.

“Die!” Finally, he heard a voice like the grim reaper’s judgment, and his entire being fell into endless darkness.

…

Outside the Twilight Tower.

“It’s been two days, about to be three days. Come, Come! Come bet on how many days Qin Yichen can stay inside!”

Various betting pools were set up, attracting countless onlookers to participate.

Near the Twilight Tower, bursts of clamour would occasionally ring out. At this time, there were still two people in the Twilight Tower, proving that Qin Yichen was still alive.

A youth at the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm able to persist for this long on the second floor of the Twilight Tower clearly exceeded many people’s expectations.

“A contestant has entered the third floor of the Twilight Tower!”

Suddenly, a solemn voice came softly from the Earl, who was observing the Twilight Tower.

“Entered the third floor!? But we didn’t see anyone get eliminated!?”

Hearing this voice, the faces of those running the betting pools instantly turned ugly.

The one who could enter the third floor of the Twilight Tower must be Li Aofeng. With no one being transported out, it also meant someone had died inside.

“Haha, worthy of being from our Li Family!”

Upon hearing this news, the Li Family Elder laughed heartily, finally feeling relieved. [Li Aofeng had indeed not given that boy a chance to crush his Life Token! With Qin Yichen dead, this saved us quite a lot of trouble.]

Compared to the Li Family Elder, Liang Hongshen’s expression was extremely ugly. At this moment, he deeply regretted why he had not clearly told Qin Yichen to just crush his Life Token and come out after entering the second floor! That way, obtaining a noble title and making the Li Family wary would have been more than enough!

“Did he fail?” Xia Zilin’s pretty face was somewhat pale. If Li Aofeng entered the third floor, she would have no hope of obtaining the Royal Seal.

Beside her, Lin Tianhui’s brows were also tightly furrowed. However, he continued staring at the Twilight Tower without speaking. Though in his heart, he did not believe that miracle creating youth, who had earned his respect, would die like this inside.

The Li Family Elder was extremely jovial right now. As long as Li Aofeng could bring back the Royal Seal, the Son of Royal Consort Li could become the Grand Empire’s Crown Prince!

Just thinking about this made him exceedingly excited.

“Let’s go.” Xia Zilin turned back dejectedly, speaking to the black-robed Lin Tianhui.

“Wait a bit longer.” A somewhat obscure voice came from under the black robe.

Xia Zilin and Liang Hongshen both looked at him in surprise.

[Could it be that he actually believes Qin Yichen had managed to kill Li Aofeng!?]

It should be noted that before entering the Twilight Tower, Qin Yichen was only at Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm. Thus, even Liang Hongshen felt that scenario to be impossible.

However, looking at Lin Tianhui standing silently there, Xia Zilin and Liang Hongshen fell silent, and the three people stood there, waiting wordlessly.

“Simply nonsensical delusions!” The Li Family Elder cast them a cold glance, snorting coldly.

Meanwhile, the Earl said nothing, just glancing at them lightly before returning his gaze to the Twilight Tower.

…

The third floor of the Twilight Tower.

What was inside, no one knew. Because everyone who went in encountered different things.

However, those who could walk out from the third floor all eventually became counted among the Grand Empire’s strongest experts!

Inside the Twilight Tower, Qin Yichen now stood in a corridor.

The corridor was not very wide; its width and height was both about two meters.

On both sides of the corridor were carved with murals.

At this moment, Qin Yichen’s gaze was fixed on these murals.

The people or beasts in the murals were lifelike, as if they were real. Even the emotions of the people and the might of the Demonic Beasts could be felt by Qin Yichen through these murals.

“What a masterpiece!” Qin Yichen sighed in admiration.

These murals roughly told the story of a Clan’s glory. However, this Clan did not practice Martial Arts or Alchemy. They mainly practiced… crafting.

At first, Qin Yichen thought this Twilight Tower might be a product left by some Puppet Master Clan, but after seeing these murals, he learned that this group was called… the Lu Ban Descendants.

Who was Lu Ban?

Lu Ban was… the Ancestor of Craftsmen. There were legends that at his peak, the Ancestor of Craftsmen could create Saint Grade Puppets!

Back then, he had once used the Puppets he created to defeat powerful Foreign Races from invading the Human Race, becoming one of the most glorious figures in Human History.
