Chapter 856: Sweeping the Tower

The gatekeeper named Black Dragon also observed the surroundings but still believed Qin Yun could not defeat him.

"Fine! If you cannot beat me, you shall not challenge me again within a year!" Black Dragon sneered, "You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin! You deluded fools have no idea what true strength is!"

Qin Yun was not deluded, so he was not afraid at all.

Everyone else also perked up, eager to see how Black Dragon would teach Qin Yun a lesson.

Black Dragon took out a black cloth and blindfolded himself, then put on a bloodstained beast skin robe, wrapping himself tightly.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yun felt a bit puzzled and asked curiously.

"I don't want your blood to stain me!" Black Dragon's voice was filled with utter disdain, "I've encountered too many of your kind who have no sense of your own limitations! I don't even want to see your ugly face after I cripple you!"

Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh; this Black Dragon himself was the one who had no sense of his own limitations, yet he spoke as if he knew everything.

"Lord Black Dragon has been with the Ancestor Celestial Dragon since childhood. His strength is far beyond what that fellow can imagine!"

"That's right. Before we came in, none of us knew that the Ancestor Celestial Dragon has been cultivating talents, and those he has cultivated are far stronger than any geniuses outside!"

"Every gatekeeper in the Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower is cultivated by the Ancestor Celestial Dragon. Although they are only at the Martial King realm, they are very young! They guard the Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower, having undergone countless battles and possessing incomparably rich combat experience!"

"Sigh, I wonder when we will be able to pass the first level! Otherwise, we'll be locked up for life!"

Most of those imprisoned here were those who had once gone astray, and after their powers surged, they went on killing sprees.

Hearing the discussions around him, Qin Yun was secretly astonished. He hadn't expected that the Ancestor Celestial Dragon had actually cultivated talents, and that this matter was kept so secret.

"I wonder if Long Yucang knows about this. If he does, he should have told me!" Qin Yun thought to himself as he entered, neither Long Yucang nor Long Chongsheng had mentioned anything to him.

After the Black Dragon put on his "battle robe," he said, "You can attack me now; consider it my way of letting you have a go!"

He covered his eyes, also to demonstrate his formidable senses.

Qin Yun felt that the Black Dragon was showing off his strength. After all, spending every day here must be incredibly monotonous, and he could only find amusement through such things.

"This show-off is exactly the type I enjoy most!" Qin Yun chuckled inwardly, then stepped into the Vanishing Shadow Ceasing Breath stance.

With just a whoosh, everyone lost sight of Qin Yun, even his presence vanished without a trace.

The Black Dragon's perception was indeed strong. No one else had detected Qin Yun's aura, but he sensed a faint hint of it approaching.

"Ha!" The Black Dragon shouted, striking out in one direction with his palm.

The force from his palm collided with a transparent energy mass in the air, causing an explosive burst of air.

Everyone quickly praised the Black Dragon's prowess, amazed that he could sense his opponent's attack while blindfolded.

However, the Qin Yun who had vanished reappeared behind the Black Dragon.

And the Black Dragon was completely unaware!

By the time the Black Dragon reacted, Qin Yun's palm was already striking down!

As he raised his palm, the power of the Ultimate Dragon Palm surged forth, waves of energy humming out from the pores of his arm, like the mournful roar of a dragon.

The Black Dragon knew the force was immense, but there was no time to dodge or defend!

Bang!

Qin Yun's palm landed heavily on the black dragon's face!

The black dragon let out a roar filled with pain and fury, his body slamming into the wall before rolling several times on the ground, spewing out much blood, which soaked his robe.

His fur-lined robe, originally meant to prevent others' blood from splashing onto him, was now drenched in his own blood.

"Is this the strength of the guardian?" Qin Yun walked over slowly.

The crowd was stunned, utterly amazed by Qin Yun's power.

Struck by a single slap, the black dragon's injuries were neither light nor severe, but they were enough to render him unable to continue fighting. He tore off the black cloth covering his eyes and glared at Qin Yun.

"Can I go up to the second level now?" Qin Yun asked with a smile.

The black dragon, who had just been pretending to be formidable, was now reduced to a fool by a single slap, and could only look at Qin Yun with anger.

"You... can go up!" The black dragon handed a talisman to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun took the talisman, activated it, and was immediately sucked upwards by a force.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the second level.

He felt somewhat surprised, not expecting the black dragon to let him proceed so smoothly to the second level.

Lying on the ground, the black dragon laughed coldly: "This bastard will surely be tortured to the point of wishing he were dead when he reaches the second level, hahaha..."

Qin Yun arrived at the second floor, where there were far fewer people than on the first floor—only about a dozen, mostly elders and middle-aged men. Among them, several middle-aged men were covered in wounds, leaning against the walls.

Especially two of the middle-aged men, their bodies riddled with shocking injuries, oozing black liquid that looked like poison!

"Xiao Yun, the wounds on those guys are laced with special toxins, preventing their injuries from healing and causing the flesh and bone to rot! It will take many years to completely clear out those toxins!" Ling Yun'er said.

Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned. The guardian of the second floor of the Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower used poison!

The elders and middle-aged men, seeing a young man approach, were somewhat surprised.

"Greetings, seniors. My name is Long Yutian. How can I challenge the guardian of the second floor?" Qin Yun asked.

"Stand in the center and stomp the ground hard a few times, and the Poison Dragon will appear!" an elder said.

Qin Yun hadn't expected it to be so easy to engage the guardian on the second floor.

But upon reflection, it made sense. There weren't many people on the second floor, and most were injured, so they wouldn't challenge the guardian every day.

Thus, unlike the first floor, there wouldn't be as many people vying for the opportunity.

Qin Yun felt more at ease now, knowing that the third and fourth floors would likely be similar, provided he could ascend quickly.

The second floor was the same size as the first, with the only difference being the sparse number of people.

Reaching the center, Qin Yun stomped the ground hard several times.

After his stomps, a burst of white light emerged from the ground.

Then, a short young man ran out.

The young man looked rather comical, his face full of anger; he was Poison Dragon!

Poison Dragon shouted at Qin Yun, "Did you just enter the second level? You woke me up from my sleep!"

"I want to challenge you, I want to enter the third level!" Qin Yun said.

"Get lost quickly, I don't even want to fight you! You're like a clay figure, breaking apart with one hit! If I kill you, I'll be punished again!" The short Poison Dragon scanned Qin Yun with a look full of disdain and added, "Look at these guys here, aren't they all stronger than you? But now they're all like dead dogs!"

Qin Yun didn't say anything; instead, he flashed behind Poison Dragon and kicked him in the buttocks with incredible speed, sending him flying.

Poison Dragon, who had been kicked, crashed into the wall face-first, the impact was severe, and blood streamed from his nose.

This made the surrounding middle-aged and elderly men, who were poisoned and injured, react with shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

For years, they had never seen Poison Dragon suffer such a loss!

"You bastard, I'll make sure you die a thousand deaths!" Poison Dragon wiped his nose, his hand covered in blood, and immediately roared in fury. Then his body transformed into a black wind, surging toward Qin Yun.

Qin Yun knew at once that the wind was poisonous and as sharp as a blade, so he quickly released his Dragon Shield!

The black wind of Poison Dragon collided with the light barrier of the Dragon Shield, causing him to scream in agony, shouting in terror, "Dragon Shield... how do you have the Dragon Shield? Who are you?"

"Cut the crap, I'm going to the third level!" Qin Yun, enveloped in the Dragon Shield, punched the small Poison Dragon rapidly, delivering dozens of punches to his face in the blink of an eye.

Poison Dragon truly hadn't expected this bald head to be so powerful, both in strength and speed, far surpassing his own.

After being pummeled by Qin Yun's relentless punches, Poison Dragon began to wail and cry, then handed Qin Yun a talisman, telling him to go to the third level.

Qin Yun took the talisman and proceeded to the third level!

There were only eight people on the third floor, and the guardian of this floor was extremely arrogant—a middle-aged woman.

"Looks like a fine young man... Ha ha, wonderful, I haven't encountered such a young man in a long time. I'm going to drain you dry, hahaha..." The plain-looking middle-aged woman looked at Qin Yun with eyes full of a hungry gleam.

Qin Yun glanced at the eight people here, each one emaciated as if they had been drained, and he immediately understood that the guardian of this third floor was a wanton woman who could suck the life out of anyone!

All the guardians here were at the Martial King realm; the first three floors were merely at the early stage of the Martial King realm, so Qin Yun was not afraid at all!

The middle-aged woman leered and rushed at Qin Yun, shouting, "Brat, you're mine! I'm going to kiss every inch of your body!"

Qin Yun felt a wave of disgust and quickly released tree claws to grab the charging middle-aged woman.

"You... Do you want to play bondage?" The middle-aged woman became excited instantly.

"Bondage my ass! I need to get to the fourth floor!"

As soon as Qin Yun approached, he began alternating punches and palm strikes.

The middle-aged woman screamed and wailed as she was beaten, and in the end, she could only take out a talisman and give it to Qin Yun.

After obtaining the talisman, Qin Yun smoothly proceeded to the fourth floor!

There were not many people on the fourth floor, only a few.

The guardian was at the mid-stage of the Martial King realm, and Qin Yun could quickly defeat her!

Subsequently, on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, Qin Yun also passed through smoothly.

Qin Yun took breaks along the way; he had been inside this tower for more than a day!

When he reached the eighth floor, there was no one here, and there was even a staircase leading up to the next floor!

"No one on the eighth floor? Just walk up the stairs to the ninth floor? That's too easy!" Qin Yun was on high alert as he walked toward the staircase.
