261 honing marksmanship
When Ling Haoran stepped onto the third floor of the Dao Xuan Pagoda, he immediately felt a completely different atmosphere from before. A powerful coercion came at him, as if it was about to crush him. This coercion was like a thousand powers, making him feel as if his body had been struck by an invisible hammer.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the pressure. He knew that this was the test he would have to face once he entered the third layer. He took a deep breath and adjusted his body and mind to their best, ready for the challenges that were ahead.
In the third layer of the Daoxuan Pagoda, Ling Haoran was faced with a phantom holding a full moon scimitar. This phantom was wearing a golden robe, and there was a faint golden light behind him, and his cultivation was obviously in the Jindan stage. In contrast, Ling Haoran was only in the foundation building period, and the difference between the cultivation of the two was like a world of difference.
Ling Haoran took a deep breath, he knew that this battle was going to be extremely difficult. He clenched the spear in his hand, preoccupied in preparing for the Phantom's attack.
The phantom held the full moon scimitar in his hand, and instantly drew an arc of sword light, slashing towards Ling Haoran. The sword light was like a rainbow, instantly tearing apart the surrounding space, forming a powerful energy storm.
Seeing this, Ling Haoran quickly dodged the attack of the sword light. He unleashed a "Wind Rush", and the spear flew through the air like a dragon's groan, and then quickly stabbed at the Phantom.

Ling Haoran felt the power of this knife and the cold wind behind it, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. He quickly turned, and at the same time used all his strength to defend. His spear swept out and collided with the Full Moon Scimitar with a deafening loud bang.
Ling Haoran was repelled by the Phantom's attack for a few steps, and the Phantom didn't seem to be hurt too much. It looked at Ling Haoran coldly, a playful glint in its eyes.

He collected his mood for a moment, and then stepped back to the next level of the Dao Xuan Pagoda. He knows that there are still many unknowns and challenges ahead of him, but he believes that his strength and wisdom can overcome any difficulties.
