Chapter 733 Killing you is my mission!
"Don't think about it!"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and he turned around abruptly. He swung his sword to block the Ta Nu's longsword, and at the same time kicked out, sending the Ta Nu flying. His tone was filled with anger, "Get out of my way!"
The other two Tanu seized the opportunity to rush forward, their longswords aimed at Jiang Wang's left and right sides.
Jiang Wang quickly dodged to the side, wielding his sword to force back the two tower slaves, and then stepped onto the teleportation array without hesitation.
"Now!"
Jiang Wang stood on the teleportation array, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes resolute, and his tone tinged with nervousness, "System, when will the teleportation array begin? I need to hold on for three breaths, right?"
【Host, as long as you stand on the teleportation array, it will automatically activate. You need to stay on the teleportation array for three breaths. After three breaths, you will be automatically teleported to the fifth floor.】
However, the Tanu's attacks will remain effective for the next three breaths. The host must be careful and avoid being hit by the Tanu; otherwise, even if the host survives for three breaths, the teleportation will not be successful.
The system notified me.
"I see!"
Jiang Wang nodded, gripped his sword tightly, and warily watched the three tower slaves rushing towards him. "Don't come any closer! As long as I hold on for three breaths, I can enter the next level. At that time, you won't be able to stop me anymore!"
The three tower slaves still did not respond. They rushed to the teleportation array, raised their longswords, and thrust them at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang quickly brandished his sword to defend against the attacks of the three tower slaves, silently chanting in his mind, "One breath! Two breaths!"
Just then, one of the Ta's slaves circled around behind Jiang Wang, his long sword thrusting straight at Jiang Wang's back. Jiang Wang felt the strong wind behind him and quickly dodged to the side, but he was still a step too slow. The long sword slashed through his back, and blood instantly flowed out, staining his clothes red.
Damn it!
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his back, and suddenly turned around. With a swift stroke of his sword, he forced the Ta'nu back, his voice filled with rage, "You actually dared to hurt me! It seems you won't know how powerful I am until I teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, Jiang Wang suddenly exerted his strength, and powerful spiritual energy burst forth from his body. He brandished his sword, and streams of spiritual energy swept towards the three tower slaves. The three tower slaves were forced to retreat repeatedly by the spiritual energy and were unable to get close to the teleportation array.
Just then, the system notification sounded: [Ding! Three breaths have passed. The teleportation array has been activated. You will be teleported to the fifth floor shortly!]
"Great! Three breaths have passed!"
Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief, his tone tinged with joy. He looked at the three tower slaves before him, his voice laced with smugness, "Goodbye, you three. I'll be going now. You can stay here and continue being your tower slaves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the teleportation array burst forth with dazzling golden light, enveloping Jiang Wang within it. Jiang Wang's body gradually became blurred as he was teleported towards the fifth level.
The three tower slaves watched Jiang Wang gradually disappear, still expressionless, just standing there with empty eyes, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Wang felt a sudden dizziness, with the sound of whistling wind in his ears, as if he were being pulled by a powerful force, traversing through space.
After a while, the feeling gradually disappeared, and Jiang Wang's body landed on the ground. He steadied himself, looked around, and found that he had arrived at the fifth floor.
The environment on the fifth floor is completely different from the previous floors. There are no cold walls or strange runes here, but a dense forest with ancient trees reaching the sky and lush foliage. Sunlight shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.
The forest was alive with the sounds of birdsong and animal roars, but it also carried an eerie atmosphere.
"This fifth level is actually a forest?"
Jiang Wang frowned, his tone full of surprise, "This Secret Realm Tower is really strange. The environment of each floor is different, and each floor is more bizarre than the last."
"System, what is the guardian of the fifth level? Are there any more traps?"
[Host, the guardian of the fifth level is a powerful tower slave leader. This tower slave leader is different from the previous ordinary tower slaves. He has retained a part of his own consciousness, and his strength is stronger than all the previous tower slaves. He is equivalent to the early stage of the Golden Immortal in the Primordial World.]
Furthermore, the fifth level of the forest is filled with poisonous miasma and traps. The host must be careful. Once inhaled, the miasma will paralyze the host's nerves, rendering them unable to fight and making them a target for the Tanu leader.
"That's what the system said."
"Early-stage Golden Immortal strength? And still retains a portion of consciousness?"
Jiang Wang was shocked, his voice filled with astonishment, "My god, this Secret Realm Tower actually has such a powerful Tower Slave Commander? Moreover, it has retained a part of its consciousness, this is quite interesting."
There are also poisonous miasma and traps. It seems this fifth level is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined.
Yes, host, this Tower Slave Commander was carefully cultivated by the Secret Realm Tower. Not only is he powerful, but he can also think independently. Although most of his consciousness is still controlled by the Secret Realm Tower, he also has a certain degree of independent judgment ability, making him much more difficult to deal with than ordinary Tower Slaves.
Moreover, the poisonous miasma on the fifth level is extremely potent; even the host will be affected if they inhale too much. Therefore, the host needs to find an antidote or exchange for an antidote pill as soon as possible.
The system notified me.
"Antidote pill? Or experience points again?"
Jiang Wang couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of helplessness, "I have very few experience points left. I've already spent 150 million on exchanging for sealing talismans and illusion-breaking pills. If I exchange for antidote pills, I'm afraid my experience points will be completely depleted."
"System, how many experience points are needed for the antidote?"
[Host, there are two types of antidote pills. One is the ordinary antidote pill, which can only remove ordinary poisonous miasma. It costs 30 experience points to exchange for one. The other is the advanced antidote pill, which can remove all poisonous miasma, including the fifth level of poisonous miasma. It costs 80 experience points to exchange for one.]
"That's what the system said."
"Ordinary antidote pills cost 30, while advanced antidote pills cost 80?"
Jiang Wang frowned, secretly calculating in his mind, "Ordinary antidote pills can only remove ordinary poisonous miasma, and may not be able to remove the fifth level of poisonous miasma. If I exchange for ordinary antidote pills and they have no effect, then the 30 experience points will be wasted."
"The advanced antidote pills are a bit more expensive, but they can cure all poisonous miasma. To be on the safe side, I'll exchange for the advanced antidote pills."
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and said, "System, exchange for a high-grade antidote pill!" [Ding! Exchange successful, 80 experience points consumed. The high-grade antidote pill has been stored in the host's storage space. Please check it.]
Current host's remaining experience points: 5700 million.
The system notification sounded.
"Fortunately, I still have 5700 million experience points left, which isn't too little."
Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief, his tone tinged with satisfaction, "If I were to exchange for a few more things, I'm afraid I would really be out of money."
"Alright, take the high-grade antidote first, then find that Tanu commander and the teleportation array."
After speaking, Jiang Wang took out a high-grade antidote pill from his storage space. The high-grade antidote pill was green in color, emitted a rich fragrance, and contained powerful detoxification power.
He put the high-grade antidote into his mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a cool power spread throughout his body in an instant. His spiritual energy also became smoother, as if some toxins had been completely eliminated.
"As expected of a high-grade antidote pill, its effects are truly remarkable."
Jiang Wang took a deep breath, feeling the changes within his body, and said with a hint of satisfaction, "Now, even if I inhale poisonous miasma, I won't be afraid."
Alright, let's go find Commander Tanu and the teleportation array.
Jiang Wang gripped his sword tightly and cautiously entered the forest. The trees in the forest were very tall, with lush foliage that blocked most of the sunlight, making it somewhat dark.
The ground was covered with all sorts of weeds and unknown wildflowers, emitting a faint fragrance, but at the same time, there was also a strange miasma. If one did not take a high-grade antidote, inhaling this miasma would probably paralyze one's nerves instantly.
As Jiang Wang walked, he cautiously observed his surroundings, fearing he might encounter a trap or the Tower Slave Commander.
He walked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when suddenly he heard footsteps coming from ahead. The footsteps were heavy and powerful, indicating that the person coming was quite strong.
"come yet?"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stopped, hiding behind a large tree. He cautiously peeked out and looked in the direction from which the footsteps were coming.
A tall man was walking towards him. He was dressed in black armor, with a cold face and sharp eyes. Unlike the previous Ta Slaves, his eyes were not empty, but instead carried a hint of cold killing intent. He held a huge long sword in his hand, which exuded a sharp cold aura. His aura was stronger than any of the previous Ta Slaves. Clearly, this was the Ta Slav leader of the fifth level.
"Just as the system said, he retained a portion of his consciousness, and there was still killing intent in his eyes."
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, and his tone was wary. "This Tower Slave Commander seems difficult to deal with. His strength at the early stage of Golden Immortal is slightly stronger than my current strength. I have to be careful."
Commander Tanu walked step by step toward Jiang Wang. His steps were steady, and the ground would tremble slightly with each step.
He seemed to have spotted Jiang Wang, staring coldly at the tree where Jiang Wang was hiding, and said in an icy tone, "Come out, I've found you. Hiding like this, what kind of skill is that?"
Jiang Wang was startled, not expecting that this Tanu commander would discover him so quickly.
He knew there was no way to hide anymore, so he stepped out from behind the big tree, gripped his sword tightly, looked at Commander Tanu warily, and said calmly, "I didn't expect you to find me so quickly. As expected of Commander Tanu, your strength is indeed extraordinary."
The Tower Commander looked at Jiang Wang with cold eyes and a hint of disdain in his tone: "With your strength, you dare to challenge the Secret Realm Tower? You even made it to the fifth floor, which is a bit beyond my expectations."
But do you think you can get through the fifth floor?
Whether or not you can get through the fifth level is not up to you.
Jiang Wang smiled, his tone carrying a hint of confidence, "I'm here only to find the teleportation array to pass through the Secret Realm Tower. As for you, if you know what's good for you, don't block my way. Otherwise, I won't be so polite."
"You're welcome?"
Commander Tanu sneered, his tone laced with mockery, "With your meager strength, you dare to talk to me like that? I think you don't even know the meaning of death! Do you know who I am?"
I don't care who you are.
Jiang Wang frowned, his tone full of impatience, "All I know is that you are the Tower Slave Commander of the Secret Realm Tower, controlled by the Secret Realm Tower, and have become a tool to protect the Secret Realm Tower."
I ask you, have you retained a part of your own consciousness? Do you remember your origins?
Commander Tanu's body jolted violently, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes—pain and struggle—but it was quickly replaced by a chilling killing intent.
He looked at Jiang Wang and said coldly, "My background is none of your business! I only know that my mission is to guard the fifth level and kill everyone who breaks into the secret tower! Since you've broken in, you must die!"
"It seems that although you have retained a part of your consciousness, you are still affected by the control of the Secret Realm Tower and cannot break free."
Jiang Wang sighed, his tone full of helplessness, "I don't want to kill you. After all, you are also a human, and you still retain a part of your consciousness. If you can break free from the control of the Secret Realm Tower, you might be able to return to normal."
I ask you, do you know where the core of the Secret Realm Tower is? Do you know if there are other passages between the Auspicious Realm and the Primordial Realm?
"The core of the Secret Realm Tower? The interface passage?"
A flicker of doubt crossed the leader's eyes, as if he were recalling something, but it was quickly replaced by a chilling killing intent. "I don't know what you're talking about! I only know that killing you is my mission!"
After saying that, Commander Tanu suddenly raised his long sword and charged towards Jiang Wang. With a swing of the sword, a powerful sword aura burst forth, aiming straight for Jiang Wang's vital points. The sword aura was sharp and carried a bone-chilling cold, making Jiang Wang's cheeks sting.
"Good timing!"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, he gripped his sword tightly, and charged forward to meet the blade's aura. He swung his sword, and a powerful sword aura burst forth from it, colliding with the blade's aura. With a loud clang, the powerful impact spread outwards, causing the surrounding trees to shake violently and leaves to fall.
Jiang Wang was jolted back a few steps by the impact, his arm slightly numb. He was secretly surprised: "Such strong power! This Tower Slave Commander is indeed at the early stage of Golden Immortal, even more powerful than I imagined!"
Commander Tanu was also thrown back a step by the impact, but he quickly regained his footing. His eyes remained cold as he looked at Jiang Wang, his tone laced with mockery: "What? Is that all the strength you have? You dare to challenge me? I think you'd better give up now, so I don't have to waste my energy killing you." (End of Chapter)
