God Emperor

Latest website: Zhang Ruochen stood under the stone wall, holding the Gushui Sword, pointing to the word "Heaven" on the upper left, and said: "Let's fight! This is the last time to break through, let's try our swordsmanship. Who is stronger?"

The text flew out and turned into a human figure. Holding swords in both hands, it fell from the air and struck Zhang Ruochen's head with one sword.

In an instant, the scenery around Zhang Ruochen seemed to disappear completely, and only four walls of wind could be seen rising up, completely wrapping his body.

Above his head, there was a huge war sword, with an aura that created the world, and it fell down, as if it was going to split the earth into two halves.

"A mere sword intent, you want to suppress me?"

Zhang Ruochen slashed out with his sword, drawing a long sword energy and breaking through a wind wall directly in front of him.

Suddenly, the surrounding scene immediately appeared. It was still at the foot of the third mountain, and nothing had changed.

The only difference was that the gatekeeper had already attacked above his head.

"Jianyi!"

Zhang Ruochen held the sword with both hands, and his body and sword seemed to merge together, turning into a white rainbow rising into the sky, and actively attacking the gatekeeper with a sharp momentum.

With a bang, the two swords collided together, and dense sword energy surged out, rolling back in all directions.

After a moment, Zhang Ruochen quickly fell to the ground, his legs sank into the ground, up to his knees, and there were dense cracks all around.

Immediately afterwards, the gatekeeper also fell down.

However, he fell sideways, hit the ground with a bang, and made a large human-shaped pit. There is a hole the size of a bowl at the gatekeeper's heart, and a large amount of holy light emanates from the inside of the hole.

Immediately, the body of the gatekeeper turned into specks of light and turned into a text again, printed on the stone wall.

"Break through, pass."

A deep voice sounded from the stone wall.

The big man was quite surprised when he saw this scene. He had a hunch that Lin Yue was likely to win this time. But he didn't expect that Lin Yue would kill the gatekeeper with just one sword.

He even had some doubts about whether Lin Yue deliberately pretended to be weak when he first broke through the level.

Otherwise, how could a person make such huge progress in just a few hours?

"Pah! Pah!"

The big man clapped his hands and said: "You are indeed a swordsman wizard, it really opened my eyes. However, I am a little curious, why do you have to fight three times in a row when you can obviously defeat the gatekeeper easily?"

Zhang Ruochen put the Gu Shui Sword back into its scabbard, glanced at the big man, and said, "I can only tell you that I have tried my best at every level. However, people will make progress, but the gatekeeper is always only so strong. "

In fact, it is not strange that Zhang Ruochen can defeat the gatekeeper with one sword.

Although the gatekeeper has cultivated Jianyi to the ninth level, his swordsmanship level is only the middle level with a clear sword heart. Zhang Ruochen's level of swordsmanship has reached a high level where the sword's heart is transparent.

When Zhang Ruochen broke through the level for the first time, he suffered a lot because he lacked experience in fighting top swordsmen. Therefore, he lost just over a hundred moves against the gatekeeper.

The second time he broke through the level, Zhang Ruochen and the gatekeeper exchanged two thousand moves in a row, just to accumulate experience. At the same time, he is looking for the gatekeeper's weaknesses.

Gatekeeper's weakness?

The biggest weakness of the gatekeeper is that he is not a real person, just a wisp of kendo thoughts. Therefore, the gatekeeper only knows how to attack and defend, and lacks flexibility. In other words, he will be very slow to adapt.

It is precisely because Zhang Ruochen grasped the gatekeeper's weakness, and because he is already stronger than the gatekeeper, that he can achieve the effect of killing with one strike.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not explain the reason to the big man. He just said the understatement he just said before climbing up the mountain road and starting to climb the third level of the mountain.

The top of the third level mountain is the holy place that all sword cultivators in the world admire and respect - Sword Pavilion.

Zhang Ruochen certainly has great expectations for Jiange.

"People will progress, but the gatekeeper is always only so strong. Yes, it seems to make some sense."

The big man glanced at Zhang Ruochen's back, smiled slightly, took steps, and began to climb the third level of the mountain. He followed Zhang Ruochen not far away, wanting to see how far Zhang Ruochen could go?

As expected, Zhang Ruochen was not troubled by the second level on the mountainside.

After passing the second level, Zhang Ruochen continued to climb upwards. As long as he could withstand the "power" of the third mountain, he could reach the top of the mountain.

The third mountain, like the previous two mountains, is also nine thousand meters high, but the "power" it exudes is several times stronger than that of the second mountain.

Even with Zhang Ruochen's willpower, it is extremely difficult to resist.

When Zhang Ruochen reached an altitude of seven thousand meters, he felt his eardrums were very swollen and painful, and a "buzzing" sound kept ringing in his mind.

Now, every time he takes a step upward, his body seems to add tens of thousands of pounds of weight, making his bones continue to make popping sounds, and the spine on his back continues to bend, as if it is about to be broken.

As a last resort, Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to stop temporarily, sit cross-legged on the ground, and start running the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" to try his best to resolve the power of "potential".

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen discovered that the big man was still following behind, stopping thirty feet below.

"This person can actually withstand the 'power' of the third mountain so easily. Could it be that he is a semi-saint?"

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen shook his head again.

The big man's cultivation is indeed unfathomable, but he has not cultivated a holy soul. This shows that he is still at the fish-dragon realm.

Zhang Ruochen didn't know that the big man was even more surprised than him.

"This boy is really amazing. He can actually reach the position of 7,000 meters on the third level of the mountain with the cultivation level of the fifth fish-dragon transformation. It seems that I also reached this position in the fifth fish-dragon transformation. Could it be that, in In the same realm, his willpower can be compared to mine?"

From childhood to adulthood, the big man has always been the best person in the same realm and among his peers. He can leave the second-placed person far behind and out of reach.

But now, a person who is in the same realm and can compete with him has appeared, which naturally aroused his competitive spirit.

"I want to see how far you can go?" The big man showed a half-smiling look. Fortunately, he sat cross-legged on the ground and waited slowly.

In the next few hours, Zhang Ruochen would stop and rest for a while every time he climbed up about a hundred meters. He would not continue climbing until he got used to the pressure of "potential".

After spending three hours, Zhang Ruochen finally reached the eight thousand meter position.

The big man's eyes gradually became serious.

From then on, every time Zhang Ruochen climbed up, the big man's face would become heavier. Because every time Zhang Ruochen climbed up, it meant that the gap between the big man and him in the same realm would become wider.

The big man is a very proud person and an extremely competitive person. It is difficult to accept that there are people who are better than him in one aspect.

"Really that powerful?" The big man wanted to compete with Zhang Ruochen, but he thought that his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth fish-dragon transformation, so he endured it.

With the cultivation of the ninth fish-dragon transformation, even if he wins, it will be meaningless.

From day to night.

From darkness to dawn, the sun rises.

When the sun rose again, Zhang Ruochen finally took the last step and climbed to the top of the third mountain.

At this moment, his Taoist robe was completely soaked with blood and sweat, and his ears, nostrils, eyes, and mouth were all bleeding, making him look extremely ferocious.

It is hard to imagine how much pain he endured before he reached the top of the mountain with extraordinary perseverance and stood at the position where countless people can only look up to him.

Climbing the third mountain is indeed very painful, but if you don't endure this pain, how can you be the first to see the rising sun?

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, spread out his arms, let himself completely relax, let the warm sunshine shine on his body, and said with great enjoyment: "It's such a wonderful feeling."

As the exercises were carried out and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was absorbed into his body, the pain in Zhang Ruochen's body gradually disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of relief.

"This guy……"

The big man also climbed up the third level of the mountain. Looking at Zhang Ruochen not far away, he no longer knew what to say.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the big man. He could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked, "Who are you?"

The big man said: "You can't guess who I am?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "As far as I know, in the entire Liangyi Sect, only Gai Tianjiao has the ability to climb to the top of the third level mountain in the Yulong Realm. But I know that you can never be Gai Tianjiao."

"Why can't I be Gai Tianjiao?" The big man smiled, looking quite calm and natural.

"Although I have never met Gai Tianjiao, I have heard many legends about her and know that she is a woman. Moreover, she is also an extremely beautiful woman." Zhang Ruochen said.

The big man suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment, nodded and said: "Gaitianjiao is the first of the four beauties of the Liangyi Sect. Of course she is extremely beautiful. If you can praise her more, maybe she will appreciate you quite a lot."

Seeing that the big man didn't want to reveal his name, Zhang Ruochen stopped asking further and went straight to the third holy spring.

Because the big man was standing nearby, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be discovered by him if he used the space ring to collect the holy spring.

However, if only a small gourd holy spring is collected, the help to the sword will be very limited.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen decided to practice beside the third holy spring and reach the tenth level of Jianyi's Great Perfection state.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged next to the spring and drank the first gourd holy spring.

"Wow!"

In the air sea, three rivers of sword intention surged rapidly around the heart of sword intention, making a huge roar, like a rushing river. However, the sound only sounded within Zhang Ruochen's body, and monks outside could not hear it at all.

After absorbing the first gourd holy spring, the wounds on Zhang Ruochen's body were completely restored, and the blood scabs on the surface of his body fell off, revealing skin as delicate as a baby's, as if he had been reborn.

After taking the second gourd holy spring, Zhang Ruochen began to practice swordsmanship on the top of the third mountain.

While digesting the power of the holy spring, he hone his sword skills and understands the true meaning of Jianyi.

When he drank the third gourd holy spring, the speed of his sword skills gradually slowed down, but every move and every style became more subtle. The trajectory of the sword skills seemed to fit in with some kind of rules between heaven and earth. Together, the power increases greatly.

At this moment, a Taoist priest about forty years old walked out of the sword pavilion.

He had a green beard and was quite elegant. He was holding a purple clay teapot in his hand and seemed to be strolling leisurely as he walked next to the big man.

He stared at Zhang Ruochen who was practicing sword skills, raised his eyebrows, and said, "That's right. Another swordsman wizard actually appeared in the sect. He climbed the third mountain and came to the sword pavilion with his own strength. Outside. Tianjiao, who is this boy?"
