Zhang Ruochen stood under the stone wall, holding the Gushui sword, pointing to the word "Tian" in the upper left, and said: "Fight!

The text flew out, turned into a figure, and with a war sword in both hands, it fell from mid-air, and slashed at the top of Zhang Ruochen's head.

In an instant, the scenery around Zhang Ruochen seemed to disappear completely, and he could only see four wind walls rising up, completely enveloping his body.

Above his head, a huge sword with a groundbreaking momentum slashed down, as if to split the earth in half.

"Just a sword intent, you want to stop me?"

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

Suddenly, the surrounding scene immediately appeared, it was still at the foot of the third mountain, and everything had not changed.

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

"Kenichi!"

Zhang Ruochen held the sword in both hands, his body and the sword seemed to be fused together, turning into a white rainbow and rising into the sky, with a sharp momentum, he took the initiative to attack the guard.

With a bang, the two swords collided together, gushing out dense sword qi and rolling backwards in all directions.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen fell to the ground rapidly, his legs sinking to the ground, reaching the knees, surrounded by dense cracks.

Immediately afterwards, the gatekeeper also fell.

It's just that he fell sideways, slammed into the ground, and fell out of a human-shaped pit. There is a hole the size of a bowl in the heart of the gatekeeper, and a large amount of holy light emanates from the inside of the hole.

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

"Pass, pass. ”

In the stone wall, a muffled voice sounded.

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

He even had some doubts that when Lin Yue broke through the level for the first time, he deliberately pretended to be very weak.

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

"Smack!"

The big man clapped his hands and said, "It's worthy of being a kendo wizard, it's really an eye-opener for me." It's just that I'm a little curious, why do you have to fight three times in a row when you can easily defeat the gatekeeper?"

Zhang Ruochen took the Gu Shui sword back into the scabbard, glanced at the big man, and said, "I can only tell you that I have done my best in every level. It's just that people will improve, but the gatekeepers will always be so strong. ”

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

Although the gatekeeper has cultivated Jian Yi to the ninth layer realm, his kendo realm is only a mid-level sword with a clear heart. Zhang Ruochen's sword realm has reached the high level of sword heart.

When Zhang Ruochen broke through the level for the first time, it was indeed because he lacked experience in fighting top sword cultivators, so he suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, just after fighting more than 100 moves with the gatekeeper, he was defeated.

The second time he broke through, Zhang Ruochen and the gatekeeper fought 2,000 moves in a row, which was to accumulate experience in fighting. At the same time, he is also looking for weaknesses in the gatekeepers.

Gatekeeper's weakness?

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

It is precisely because Zhang Ruochen grasped the weakness of the gatekeeper, and he was already stronger than the gatekeeper, so he achieved the effect of killing with one hit.

Zhang Ruochen naturally didn't explain the reason to the big man, but just said the understatement just now, and then climbed the mountain road and began to climb the third mountain.

The top of the third mountain is the holy place admired and respected by sword cultivators all over the world-Sword Pavilion.

Zhang Ruochen also has great expectations for the Sword Pavilion.

"People will improve, but gatekeepers will always be so strong. Yes, it seems to make some sense. ”

The big man glanced at Zhang Ruochen's back, smiled slightly, took a step, and began to climb the third mountain, not far behind Zhang Ruochen, wanting to see how far Zhang Ruochen could go?

As expected, the second level on the mountainside did not stump Zhang Ruochen.

After passing the second level, Zhang Ruochen continued to climb upward, as long as he resisted the "potential" 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 "potential" 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 the height of 7,000 meters, he only felt that his eardrum was very swollen and painful, and the sound of "buzzing" kept sounding in his mind.

Now, with each step forward, his body seemed to gain weight by 10,000 catties, making his bones keep popping, and the spine of his back kept bending, as if it was about to be broken.

As a last resort, Zhang Ruochen had to temporarily stop, sit cross-legged on the ground, and start to run the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", trying his best to resolve the power of "potential".

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen found that the big man was still following behind, and he stopped thirty zhang below.

"This person was able to resist the 'potential' of the third mountain so easily. Could it be that he's a half-saint?"

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen shook his head again.

Dahan's cultivation is indeed unfathomable, but he has not cultivated the Holy Soul, which shows that he is still the cultivation of the Fish Dragon Realm.

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

"This kid is really powerful, he can actually reach the position of seven thousand meters of the third mountain with the cultivation of the fifth change of the fish dragon. It seems that I also got to this position when I was in the fifth change. Could it be that in the same realm, his willpower can be compared to mine?"

From childhood to adulthood, in the same realm and among peers, Dahan has always been the best person, and he can leave the second far behind, leaving him out of reach.

But now, there is a character who can compete with him in the same realm, which naturally stimulates his competitiveness.

"I'd like to see how far you can go?" the big man showed a look that seemed to be smiling, but fortunately he also sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting slowly.

In the next few hours, Zhang Ruochen would stop and rest for a while every time he climbed about 100 meters, and only continued to climb upward until he got used to the pressure of the "potential".

It took three hours, and Zhang Ruochen finally reached the position of eight thousand meters.

The big man's eyes gradually became solemn.

After that, every time Zhang Ruochen climbed up, the face of the big man became heavier. Because, every time Zhang Ruochen climbs one step upward, it means that in the same realm, the gap between the big man and him will become even bigger.

Dahan is a rather proud man, but also an extremely competitive person, it is difficult to accept that there are people who are better than him in one of them.

"Is it really that powerful?" Dahan wanted to compare himself with Zhang Ruochen, but when he thought that his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth transformation of the fish dragon, he endured it.

With the ninth transformation of the fish and dragon, even if you win, there is no point.

From day, to night.

And from the night, to the dawn, and the sun to rise.

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 robe was completely soaked with blood and sweat, and his ears, nostrils, eyes, and mouth were also bloodshot, looking extremely hideous.

It is hard to imagine how amazing the pain he endured, and with extraordinary perseverance, he unswervingly climbed to the top of the mountain, standing in this position that countless people can only look up to.

Climbing the third mountain is indeed quite 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, stretched out his arms, let himself relax completely, let the warm sun shine on his body, and said quite enjoyably: "It's a wonderful feeling." ”

With the operation of the exercises, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth into his body, the pain on Zhang Ruochen's body gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an unprecedented feeling of comfort.

"This guy ......"

The big man also climbed the third mountain, looking at Zhang Ruochen not far away, he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the big man, couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart anymore, 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 mountain in the Ichthyosaurus Realm. But I know that you can never be a cover. ”

"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 a rather enjoyable expression, nodded and said: "Gai Tianjiao is the head 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." ”

Zhang Ruochen saw that the big man was unwilling to reveal his name, so he didn't continue to ask, and went straight to the third holy spring.

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

However, if you only receive a small gourd holy spring, the help for kendo is very limited.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen decided to cultivate on the edge of the third holy spring and impact the tenth-layer Great Perfection realm of Sword One.

Zhang Ruochen sat next to the spring water and drank the first gourd holy spring.

"Wow!"

In the sea of qi, three rivers of sword intent surged rapidly around the heart of sword intent, emitting a huge roar, like a big river rushing. It's just that the voice only sounded in Zhang Ruochen's body, and the monks in the outside world couldn't hear it at all.

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

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

While digesting the power of the holy spring, he honed his swordsmanship and realized the true meaning of Kenichi.

When he took the third gourd holy spring, the speed of the sword technique gradually slowed down, but every move, every style, became more subtle, and the trajectory of the sword technique seemed to fit together with some kind of rule between heaven and earth, and the power increased greatly.

At this moment, in the Sword Pavilion, a Taoist priest about forty years old walked out.

He had a blue beard, looked quite elegant, held a purple sand teapot in his hand, and walked leisurely to the side of the big man.

His gaze was fixed on Zhang Ruochen, who was practicing swordsmanship, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Not bad." There was actually another kendo wizard in the sect, and with his own strength, he climbed the third mountain and came to the outside of the Sword Pavilion. Tianjiao, who is this kid?"
