Chapter 1338 - 1314: The Second Floor!

For them, Ren Feng poses an immense threat; the series of events that happened earlier has already made them vigilant.

He charged through the bamboo forest, killed Zakum, broke through the Five Elements Array, entered the courtyard, and demonstrated formidable power. Moreover, he survived the ordeal at the long table. A person like him alive will eventually be a threat, better to eliminate him sooner than later.

Cold light flashed in Anish's eyes, while Ren Feng's expression remained calm.

Sima Nan and the others were somewhat on guard. They numbered around twenty, but the experts involved from both ends were more numerous, making it disadvantageous for them in a fight.

"This item counts as the second one that I want."

Ren Feng suddenly spoke calmly.

This moment, Anish and the others were taken aback.

"By the rules, I can take three items; this is the second. Do you have any objections?"

All the experts glanced at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation.

The hall was silent for a few seconds, the atmosphere awkward, until one expert spoke: "Alright, it's considered as your second item."

The two experts who had fought with Mu Han had faces full of resentment, glaring at Ren Feng before they dispersed.

Long Yue felt relieved, seeing the surrounding experts disperse, finally able to lower his guard.

"Don't spread out too much, look out for each other, search this building, and withdraw once done."

Ren Feng transmitted his voice; their real target this time was not this courtyard but more importantly that city they saw earlier.

The others nodded lightly.

The building's first floor was almost empty of items; except for the furniture, everything that could be taken had already been removed, leaving the walls bare. Even the screen placed at the entrance had been forcibly taken down!

It's like locusts swept through, everything on the first floor vanished; previously, there was a flower pot on the high hanging chair, but even that was taken.

Everyone knew these items might look simple, yet they wield immense power.

Ren Feng was not losing out though; the wine he obtained earlier at the long table contained much more than he imagined, the space inside was vast, ensuring his safety in this relic.

Almost all items on the first floor were snatched away, and all eyes turned towards the staircase leading to the second floor.

"It's useless; we can't get to the second floor." An expert said coldly, "I tried before, there's an array on the staircase."

"What kind of array could it be?"

One expert disregarded it, casually stepping onto the wooden stairs, only to have his face suddenly change the moment he did!

Everyone watched him; the expert's expression was grave, each step up made his face look increasingly grim, as if constant pressure was squeezing him. With each step up, the pressure increased.

Halfway up, the expert still wanted to continue, eyeing the remaining five steps up, gritting his teeth as he raised his foot again.

At the next moment, terrifying pressure erupted. His face changed; he could no longer withstand it, spitting out blood and being blasted backward!

Bang!

His body fell heavily to the ground as the surrounding experts looked on silently.

"Does that mean we can't reach the second floor?"

An expert asked unwillingly.

"Let me try."

Another one spoke, heading towards the staircase directly.

All eyes fell on this person, but similar to the previous, he couldn't get past the seventh step, retreating rapidly down the stairs.

He stepped back seven times, eyes full of disbelief, and those around him felt unsatisfied, each of them attempting.

Even the best among them could only reach the eighth step, as none could advance further.

Mu Han Elder's eyes were regretful, thinking if they could reach the second floor, better treasures must be there; but unable to reach means nothing at all.

"Let me give it a try."

Ren Feng spoke.

All surrounding experts looked at him, the leading experts even moving aside despite their furtive glances, not saying a word.

Their hearts held a sliver of hope since Ren Feng had broken the Five Elements Array, this one should also be breakable.

Ren Feng stepped onto the stairs, feeling an immense pressure assaulting his entire being, yet it remained within his tolerance.

With the second step, the pressure doubled, the third step doubled again, and within just five or six steps, Ren Feng felt like a mountain was pressing on him.

Ren Feng stayed motionless on the sixth step, frowning slightly; logically, the stairs shouldn't have been designed this way, with such overwhelming pressure, who could climb it?

This staircase resembled a trial, especially focused on testing one's body, as such excessive pressure compresses bones and muscles, only those who underwent Body Refinement could possibly withstand it; anyone else would have no chance.

Nine Yang True Qi surged within him under boundless pressure, as if breaking a previous seal, muscles and bones contracting, enabling Ren Feng to bear greater pressure.

He stepped out again with resilience, finding the pressure still bearable.

The seventh step, the eighth step, upon reaching the eighth step, Ren Feng felt almost as if standing amidst a storm, on the verge of being thrown off; the fierce pressure could send a person flying!

Ren Feng's eyes flashed cold, abruptly taking out the wine jug he obtained earlier, drinking a mouthful. The fragrant liquor warmed him as his aura intensified at once, Nine Yang True Qi operating fully, his power instantly restored to the Yin-Yang Realm!

The next moment, Ren Feng swiftly stepped two steps forward in one go, reaching the tenth step, entering the second floor; the array on the stairs flickered like a shattered bubble, vanishing.

At this moment, the terrifying pressure on his body dissipated, the suffocating sensation disappeared although Ren Feng spat blood.

But he didn't have time for that, quickly scanning the second floor before swiftly seizing all useful items!

"He went up!"

An expert's eyes gleamed with joy.

And immediately, countless experts rushed towards the stairs!
