Chapter 928: Terrifying Figure
Zhang Qian's heart couldn't help but rise when he suddenly saw a figure in such a vast and empty mountain range without any signs of life. This was the underground abyss, and it was close to the depths of the abyss. In such a scary place, a strange figure suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help but be alert.
The figure had his back to him, and he could only see that he was wearing a gray, strange and ancient robe, a style that was totally out of place in this era. Zhang Qian turned his head and thought about it carefully, and found that the clothing of this strange figure was not in the style of any era.
He had seen different costumes from ancient times, prehistoric times and other eras, but the figure in front of him was completely different.
Of course, this doesn't mean anything. What makes Zhang Qian's heart beat wildly is that the other person's hair is actually short. You know, no matter which era, short hair is almost never seen among cultivators, whether they are men or women.
The figure walked forward step by step with his back to Zhang Qian, and it was impossible to tell what level of cultivation he had.
Zhang Qian thought for a while and then gave a dry cough.
"cough!"
The sound echoed in the empty and silent mountains, and a slow echo sounded.
The strange thing was that the figure acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.
"Is he deaf?"
Zhang Qian didn't believe that the other party didn't hear it.
"stop!"
He shouted softly, but the figure still showed no reaction and continued to move forward.
"Who are you? Stop pretending to be nice to me!"
The Xuanhuang Pagoda appeared above his head. With the Qingping Sword in his hand, Zhang Qian pointed the sword tip, and the terrifying sword intent of killing and trapping condensed into a stream, instantly covering the figure in front of him.
However, that person should remain unmoved and just move forward step by step.
"Interesting, I want to see what you are up to!"
Reaching out and picking up a black stone from the ground, Zhang Qian exerted a little force and threw the stone towards the figure.
In fact, the distance between Zhang Qian and the figure was less than ten feet. At such a close distance, coupled with his strength, the stone made a sound of breaking wind and came to the back of the figure's head very quickly. It seemed that the stone was about to hit the back of the figure's head.
A strange scene appeared. The figure's footsteps did not change at all, and the stone was still moving forward very fast, but the stone could not catch up with the other. It was a very strange scene.
In Zhang Qian's opinion, the stone he threw was extremely fast, and the figure was moving forward step by step very slowly, but the stone just couldn't catch up with the figure.
If it was the human figure using supernatural powers, it would be fine, but the key point was that Zhang Qian did not sense that the human figure used any supernatural powers at all.
The next moment, the stone slowed down, exhausted its power, and finally fell to the ground with a plop. Even before the stone hit the ground, it still did not touch the figure at all.
"Be careful!"
Chi!
With a slight sound, Zhang Qian's Qingping Sword stabbed out, and a slender sword light appeared.
The sword light stabbed straight towards the back of the figure. The speed of the sword light was equal to the speed of starlight, which was the fastest speed in the world allowed by the rules.
Without becoming an immortal god, he couldn't even react to the sword light of the sword cultivator, and couldn't even see the sword light coming at him. "This...!"
Before the sword light could pierce the figure, the same strange phenomenon as before occurred. The sword light was already the fastest in the world, but when the sword light flew to the back of the figure, it could not catch up with the person.
The figure's steps did not change at all, still neither fast nor slow, but the sword light could not catch up with him.
In the blink of an eye, according to the speed of the sword light, it had flown a very long distance, but it still could not touch the man.
"It's amazing!"
Until the power of the sword light almost dissipated, Zhang Qian raised his hand and manifested the Kunlun Treasure Mirror.
Swish!
A mirror light containing the great power of time and space shone out and rushed towards the figure.
However, it was still useless. The Kunlun Mirror Light was blessed with the power of time and space and could change the flow of time nearby, but it could not affect that figure.
Up to now, Zhang Qian even doubted whether this figure existed or not, and whether it was just an illusion.
"Since all my magical powers can't touch you, I don't believe that I can't catch up with you with my physical strength!"
Boom boom boom!
He took a step and ran over. Each step covered an extremely long distance, far exceeding ten feet. But it was still useless. The distance between him and the figure seemed to be a constant, always maintained at about ten feet. No matter how hard he ran, he could not catch up.
Swish!
Zhang Qian directly transformed into a red rainbow, using the rainbow transformation technique. He also secretly used the Destroying Sky Seal and looked towards the figure.
"This is!"
The Destroying Void Seal and the Rainbow Transformation Technique both have the power to see through all flaws and weaknesses. The combination of the two allowed Zhang Qian to see an extremely strange scene.
In his eyes, the rules of heaven and earth around the figure did not change at all, and there was no sign of any cultivation from this person, as if he was just an ordinary person. When he took a closer look, he finally saw some clues.
He found that the figure was moving forward step by step, actually ignoring the rules of heaven and earth, and did not affect any rules of heaven and earth.
With Zhang Qian's current physical realm, if he were to burst out with all his strength, he would be able to ignore the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth. However, in doing so, he would be directly breaking the rules of heaven and earth around him, which would cause huge fluctuations in heaven and earth.
But this figure is different. It seems that he is not a creature of this world, but a creature of a higher level and a higher dimension. It seems that he is walking between heaven and earth, but in fact he is walking in a world of a higher dimension. What he leaves in this world is just a projection of a higher dimension.
This discovery surprised Zhang Qian. He suddenly realized that this figure was not restricted by any rules of this world. He was like an existence that had transcended all rules!
"How could there be such a terrifying existence in the Xihuang World? If such a powerful being appeared in the Thirty-Six States, who would be his opponent?"
Zhang Qian knew with a little thought that this person was not restricted by any rules of heaven and earth. In other words, no matter how many magical powers he had, even if he stood still, no magical power could hit him, because any magical power exists based on rules. This person has transcended the rules, and no matter how many magical powers he has, they are of no use. This is already the most exquisite state of being unaffected by anything.
After discovering this, Zhang Qian couldn't help but start to back down. Facing such an unfathomable existence, he was not a fool. If he continued chasing, he didn't know what would happen.
However, when he wanted to stop, he found that the surrounding scenery was no longer the same mountain range as before.
It's unknown when the vast and continuous mountain range disappeared. After Zhang Qian followed the figure for a while, the surrounding area had turned into a huge valley. On both sides of the valley were towering sacred mountains. The incredible thing was that these sacred mountains were all lush and green, and filled with extremely rich innate spiritual energy. The sacred mountains were in full bloom with exotic flowers and plants, and all kinds of magical herbs and precious medicines that were only recorded in ancient books were scattered all over the sacred mountains on both sides. There were also melodious cries of cranes and the singing of various spiritual beasts and sacred birds. There was no trace of the dark underground abyss!
