Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 409: Cui Tianming's Conspiracy

"Hoo... hoo..."

The Golden Horned Rhino landed in the center of the trial ground, panting heavily. After catching its breath, it began to survey its surroundings.

There were two groups of people gathered in the trial ground.

Some disciples followed behind Cui Tianming, totaling about a dozen.

A few other disciples shamelessly joined Su Jin and the others from behind, totaling six or seven people.

Lu Yu and the others didn't bother with these opportunistic disciples.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human instinct, so it's not their fault.

Besides, since Xiao Mei had a good relationship with them, they probably hadn't attacked Lu Yu before. Lu Yu ignored these guys.

The Golden Horned Rhino glanced at the two groups of people, and it was clear that Lu Yu's group had fewer people.

But it wasn't the kind of spirit beast that would pick on the weak.

So it just glanced disdainfully at Lu Yu's group, then turned its head to look at Cui Tianming's group.

"Lu Yu, how did the Tianji Tower trial become a team battle? Wasn't it an individual battle before?"

Ling Tianxin had also experienced the previous Tianji trial. Initially, it was just one person continuously challenging the levels, but now it seemed to be a completely different mode.

Lu Yu also didn't understand this point.

But Su Jin, who had seen more, guessed some clues.

"I've heard before that the Tianji Tower trial is divided into two parts: individual battles and team battles. However, team battles only exist after the twentieth level, so few people have seen it. Lu Yu, I remember you passed the twentieth level of the Tianji Tower, right?"

"Yes, I just passed the twentieth level in the last trial."

Lu Yu nodded. It wasn't a secret that he had passed the twentieth level of the Tianji Tower.

"So all of us followed his progress and started from the twenty-first level together. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse."

Su Jin helplessly shrugged and smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, they now had several Gold Core realm experts sitting here. Otherwise, they would probably have to leave the Tianji Tower in a hurry.

Although they could leave the Tianji Tower at any time, getting injured or dying here was a real possibility.

Those disciples who saw the situation was unfavorable were the first to run away. It couldn't be blamed on them for valuing their lives and fearing death. They simply felt that there was no hope of victory.

"The rewards for the Tianji Tower trial are very generous. Even if we have to grit our teeth, we should persist for a few more rounds. Let's see how Cui Tianming deals with this Golden Horned Rhino."

Lu Yu reminded everyone not to give up easily, then stood by and watched the show.

On the other side, Cui Tianming was in a miserable state.

He had been seriously injured by Lu Yu before, and even his Nine Stars Linked Treasures had been shattered. Now that his injuries had just improved a little, he had rushed to the trial ground on time, only to be treated as an easy target by this Golden Horned Rhino.

He glanced at Lu Yu and Su Jin, and it was clear that they had no intention of helping.

And those disciples behind him in the Foundation Building stage were completely useless.

This kind of opponent was simply not something they could handle!

So at the beginning of the trial, almost all the disciples in the Foundation Building stage were eliminated.

The only thing they could rely on was the several Gold Core realm experts who could support them for a while longer.

"Lu Yu, do you think you can escape this time? You're doomed in this trial!"

Seeing the Golden Horned Rhino looking at him, Cui Tianming didn't panic but instead laughed.

Lu Yu felt that something was about to happen when he saw the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, Cui Tianming suddenly whispered a few words. The Golden Horn Rhino seemed to understand him and turned to look at Lu Yu and the others.

Cui Tianming calmly sat back down and began to recover from his injuries.

"It seems like this kid can control spirit beasts? I underestimated him before."

"I see, this is their Cui family's secret beast control technique, which allows temporary communication with spirit beasts."

Su Jin's face turned pale.

Facing such a powerful spirit beast, her strength, which had just entered the Gold Core stage, was probably a bit inadequate.

"I'll handle this. Tianxin and Su Jin, you two go next. We'll take turns dealing with these guys."

Lu Yu didn't seem to care at all.

Just the Gold Core stage, his strength in the early Gold Core stage was definitely extraordinary.

Not to mention a Golden Horn Rhino, even if there were two more, he could easily take them down.

After assigning the tasks, Ling Tianxin and the others nodded, then took a step back, leaving the battlefield to Lu Yu.

At the same time, the front hooves of the Golden Horn Rhino fiercely dug into the ground, and then it charged towards them in a frenzy.

Lu Yu wanted to test his current strength and also needed to adapt to his newfound power after advancing to the Gold Core stage.

So he directly faced the Golden Horn Rhino head-on. When it charged in front of him, he suddenly reached out his hands and grabbed the rhino's horn, while his other hand pressed against its nose.

"Hey!"

Lu Yu shouted loudly, forcefully stopping the Golden Horn Rhino.

When the Golden Horn Rhino was abruptly stopped, everyone was stunned.

"What kind of power is this? This is a Golden Horn Rhino!"

"So this is the strength of a Gold Core stage expert? Truly a genius!"

"Lu Fellow Daoist is much stronger than us. Fortunately, we didn't make a move against him earlier."

The disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall exclaimed, while Cui Tianming's eyes were filled with resentment.

It was only because they couldn't attack the participants in the trial that he didn't take the opportunity to ambush Lu Yu.

But now, there was still a chance.

He sneered and secretly took out a thin needle from his pocket.

This hidden weapon was extremely small and had strong penetrating power. Even a tough-skinned and thick-fleshed spirit beast like the Golden Horn Rhino would be injured if hit.

Of course, even if the Golden Horn Rhino was hit by this hidden weapon, it wouldn't be affected much, as the object was too small.

But it couldn't withstand the poison on Cui's hidden weapon! The Golden Horn Rhino could resist physical attacks from the needle, but it wasn't immune to toxins.

Cui Tianming seized the opportunity and flicked his finger.

A barely noticeable silver light entered the Golden Horn Rhino's body.

Although Lu Yu sensed that something was wrong, all his attention was focused on the Golden Horn Rhino.

This big guy's strength was not to be underestimated. Even if he maximized the circulation of his spiritual energy, he could only barely withstand the opponent's impact.

If the Golden Horn Rhino's strength was a little stronger, he would probably...

Just as he was thinking about how to counterattack, he suddenly saw the Golden Horn Rhino's eyes turn red.

Immediately after, its power suddenly surged, increasing by more than double.

This sudden change caught him off guard, and he was directly knocked away by this powerful force.
