Chapter 682: A Great Challenge
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were fixed on the upper left side of the stone wall, and in that position, there was the word "sky".
As his own sword intent and the sword intent of the font overlapped with each other, gradually, the words on the stone wall spun and flew out, turning into a translucent gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper of the first pass of the third mountain is obviously many times more powerful than the gatekeeper of the first two mountains, and it is condensed by the sword master's kendo idea.
As soon as the gatekeepers flew out, standing on the opposite side at will, they gave Zhang Ruochen a huge oppressive force.
"Beat me and you can get through this. ”
The gatekeeper's hands were closed, and the junction of the palms exuded a dazzling light.
A three-foot-long sword flew out of the light.
"Huh!"
Zhang Ruochen also immediately pulled out the Gushui Sword, mobilized the sword intent of his whole body, and injected it into the sword body together with the true qi in his body.
Suddenly, within a radius of thirty zhang, hundreds of sword-shaped sword qi appeared, like a whirlpool, revolving around his body.
The gatekeeper cultivated Jian Yi to the ninth layer realm, and Zhang Ruochen was between him.
However, the gatekeeper is condensed by the sword saint's kendo intention, and in some aspects, his ability is far beyond Zhang Ruochen.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to move, but stared at the other party with all his attention, ready to deal with all changes with the same.
The big man clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked calm and relaxed, and looked at Zhang Ruochen from a distance, "I hope you don't let me down." ”
"Huh!"
The gatekeeper was the first to strike, stabbing his sword forward and attacking it.
Both the human and the sword turned into a white streamer, like a meteor breaking through the sky, and it arrived in front of Zhang Ruochen in an instant.
Good speed.
It was the first time for Zhang Ruochen to fight such a powerful kendo master, and he was quite inexperienced. Therefore, at the first time, he was a little unable to adapt, and he couldn't think of any moves at all to be able to break the opponent's attack.
So, he had to block it with a horizontal sword, and pushed the holy qi of his whole body forward.
The sword body of Gu Shui's sword collided with the sword stabbed by the gatekeeper, bent slightly, and then formed a catapult force, which bounced Zhang Ruochen backwards.
Zhang Ruochen flew straight out hundreds of meters away and fell to the top of the cliff, looking like he was about to fall down the ancient god mountain.
Suddenly, he immediately mobilized the power of the five elements, the aura of the earth attribute, the aura of the water attribute, and the aura of the wood attribute, which continued to converge towards him, forming a cloud of three-colored aura.
With his feet kicked on the qi cloud, Zhang Ruochen rushed back and fell to the foot of the third mountain again.
"Such a powerful gatekeeper, just a sword has such a powerful power. Zhang Ruochen held his breath and secretly warned himself that he must be more cautious.
Fighting against the gatekeepers head-on, Zhang Ruochen was truly aware of his lack of combat experience, especially the experience of fighting against top kendo masters.
Qi Feiyu only cultivated his sword to the eighth layer realm, and he was able to fight against the gatekeeper for more than 2,000 moves, until the holy qi could not be sustained, and he was defeated in one move.
He had already cultivated Jian Yi to the ninth layer realm, which was more clever than Qi Feiyu, but under the attack of the guards, he was caught off guard and almost couldn't block a move.
After all, it's because the experience is too inexperienced.
In fact, Qi Feiyu may not be more clever than Zhang Ruochen, the key is that it is not the first time she has fought with the gatekeeper, so she knows a lot of coping strategies.
When the big man saw that the gatekeeper had repelled Zhang Ruochen with only one move, he suddenly showed a look of disappointment in his eyes and shook his head slightly.
Originally, he thought that there was really a kendo wizard in the sect, and he couldn't wait to meet this person, but he didn't expect that this person's kendo was so unbearable.
Could it be that Lin Yue really just got an adventure, which is why he became so powerful in a short period of time?
An adventure can indeed make a monk's strength reach an astonishing height in a short period of time. But relying only on adventure, you can never become the top powerhouse.
Zhang Ruochen was not discouraged, although just now, the attack of the guards did catch him off guard.
But now, he also has a certain understanding of the strength of the gatekeepers, so he naturally knows how to deal with it next.
"Wow-"
Zhang Ruochen controlled the martial soul and released it.
The aura of the martial soul was very powerful, and behind Zhang Ruochen, it manifested into a huge shadow with three lengths and heights. Under the mobilization of the martial spirit, the surrounding aura, like a tide, continued to converge towards Zhang Ruochen.
In an instant, the momentum on Zhang Ruochen's body climbed a lot, and the spirit of the whole person was greatly improved.
Zhang Ruochen not only refined the light of the half-saint, but also absorbed a lot of the holy dragon qi in the dragon balls. His martial soul is naturally quite powerful.
That big man was originally very disappointed in Lin Yue and was about to leave, but when he saw Lin Yue's martial spirit, a strange brilliance appeared in his eyes, so he stopped for a while.
"In the Ichthyosaurus Realm, I'm afraid there are few people's martial spirits who are stronger than him. The big man said secretly in his heart. Moreover, he could obviously feel that the strength of the sword intent on Lin Yue's body had increased a lot.
Could it be that he didn't show his full strength at all?
If this is the case, then the next battle is still worth looking forward to.
The gatekeeper held the sword in one hand, and in mid-air, drew a circle of sword qi with a diameter of three zhang. Eighty-one powerful sword qi rotated rapidly in the circle, emitting gusts of wind and thunder.
As the gatekeeper swung out, the sword qi circle set off a huge storm, enveloping Zhang Ruochen.
"Bang!"
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Gushui Sword and slammed it to the ground, and suddenly, the ground shook violently, tearing open a long ravine and extending towards the gatekeeper.
"Edgeworth. ”
The Gu Shui Sword passed through the ravines and rushed straight up from the ground, forming a piercing cold air. Even though the gatekeeper retreated extremely quickly, he was still frozen half of his body by the cold air on the sword.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen rushed forward, his fingers quickly moved forward, and a sword wave struck at the center of the sword qi circle.
Because of the loss of the control of the gatekeeper, the power contained in the sword qi circle naturally decreased a lot, and when it was attacked by the sword wave, it was shattered in an instant.
Breaking through the circle of sword qi, Zhang Ruochen immediately galloped over and quickly attacked the guard.
"Bang bang!"
The two fought quickly, constantly attacking swordsmanship, and fought equally.
After a series of battles of one hundred and thirty-eight moves, after all, the guards were still skilled, and a sword pierced Zhang Ruochen's body protection Shenggang, and the tip of the sword pierced the skin at the mouth of the heart, leaving a blood spot.
In fact, even if the guards continue to stab, they can't help Zhang Ruochen.
Because Zhang Ruochen has a dragon ball guard in his heart, it is enough to bounce back the sword of the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper didn't know this, and only thought that with the sword just now, he had the ability to pierce Zhang Ruochen's heart.
The gatekeeper withdrew his sword and said expressionlessly: "The first time you failed to break through, after an hour, you have a second chance to break through." ”
Immediately, the gatekeeper quickly retreated backwards, leaped back to the stone wall, and re-transformed into a text.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the blood spot in his heart, and smiled helplessly, although he had the ability to defend against this sword, it was undeniable that he was indeed defeated by the gatekeeper just now.
The first level of the first mountain, the first day of each month, there is only one chance to break through.
The first level of the third mountain, the first day of each month, has three chances to break through.
Fighting with the gatekeeper just now, Zhang Ruochen was not too seriously injured, but only consumed part of his true qi.
Anyway, there were still two chances to break through, Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry, swallowed the next mouthful of Mu Ling Honglu, sat cross-legged on the ground, ran the exercises, and began to recover his true qi.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen also divided a spiritual power and secretly guarded against that big man.
After all, he still offended a lot of people in the Liangyi Sect, and Qi Feiyu and Xu Changsheng might invite a master to deal with him, be careful, there is no harm after all.
"It's quite cautious. ”
The big man smiled slightly, but with a slight lift of his palm, he immediately beat Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power backwards, forcing him to retreat three zhang away, and he couldn't get close to his body at all.
It took an hour, Zhang Ruochen not only restored his true qi to its peak state, but also made full use of this time to re-digest the battle just now.
In the sea of qi, he used the heart of sword intent to break down every move of the gatekeeper, carefully figure out the subtleties, and carefully look for the flaws in them.
It seems that it is only a short time, but Zhang Ruochen's understanding of kendo has improved a lot.
"Try it again. ”
Zhang Ruochen stood up, with a sharp light in his eyes, and strode towards the stone wall.
This time, his gaze was still fixed on the word "sky", and the gatekeeper flew out of the stone wall again.
Without any words, the two fought together quickly.
Zhang Ruochen did not take the initiative to attack, he just saw the moves, and constantly observed the way the guards made moves.
Soon, a hundred moves passed, and Zhang Ruochen still seemed calm, and there was no sign of defeat.
Next, two hundred moves, three hundred moves, four hundred moves......
When Zhang Ruochen fought a thousand moves with the gatekeeper, the big man standing on the side was finally a little moved, and couldn't help but show a look of approval, and said to himself: "In just one hour, the progress is so huge, this son's understanding is too amazing." From this point of view, the second level of the third mountain should not be able to stop him. ”
has been fighting against two thousand moves, and Zhang Ruochen and the gatekeeper have not divided the winner or loser.
However, Zhang Ruochen took the initiative to admit defeat.
Zhang Ruochen took the Mu Ling Honglan again and continued to begin to recover his true qi.
It took a whole hour for Zhang Ruochen to recover his true qi and reach his peak state again.
His gaze glanced in the direction of the top of the mountain, locked on the position of the Sword Pavilion, took a deep breath, and muttered, "This time, it should be about the same!"
Even the big man was looking forward to it.
He really wanted to know, after this cultivation, Lin Yue's strength had been raised to what height?
Can you defeat the Gatekeeper?
