Chapter 15: One Step Away

"You kid want to fool me, really think that the old man is Zhuge Qing and other villagers, and he can't even recognize Yi?" Liu Tianzhi smiled and said confidently: "What you used just now is "Yi", right?" ”

"You even know what you mean. Hearing Liu Tianzhi's words, He Qiao was suddenly startled, he was a little puzzled, how could this Liu Tianzhi recognize his meaning, you know, this meaning, but even Su Shangyun didn't know it.

"Wow!" Liu Tianzhi didn't answer He Qiao, but took out a long knife from the storage ring, and the long knife was slightly withdrawn, revealing a half-foot edge.

More than halfway out of the sheath of the long knife, Liu Tianzhi's temperament changed suddenly, and he continued: "When the old man was young, the people in the rivers and lakes called him Liu Yidao, do you know why. ”

He Qiao shook his head.

Seeing He Qiao shaking his head, Liu Tianzhi smiled proudly and said: "Because the old man has always killed people with a knife, and decades ago, the old man was the first fast knife player of the younger generation in Izumo Country. ”

"Oh, it's good you don't practice guns. He Qiao said casually.

Liu Tianzhi: "..."

Ignoring He Qiao's ridicule, Liu Tianzhi's body suddenly exuded a fierce aura: "The old man's ability to break through such a prestige does not depend on his cultivation talent, but on the old man's peerless sword intent. ”

The long knife was returned to the sheath, and Liu Tianzhi regained his previous smile: "How is it, do you feel the strength of the old man's sword intent? ”

Feeling Liu Tianzhi's sword intent, He Qiao immediately reacted, Liu Tianzhi didn't know his "intention", but mistook his "intention" for something like knife intent and sword intent.

He Qiao didn't answer, his mind moved, and in the void, an illusory long knife gradually emerged. He Qiao stretched out his hand and held the long knife, and the momentum on his body changed suddenly, becoming fierce and brave.

A swing of the knife.

Liu Tianzhi's long knife was unsheathed in an instant, and it was also slashed out with one sword.

The two sword lights collided, and instead of making the imaginary explosion, they quietly dissipated and returned to nothingness.

Liu Tianzhi returned the long knife to the sheath, and then put it into the storage ring, and the illusory long knife in He Qiao's hand also dissipated.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, in Chang'an City, when did you come out with such a character. After a long time, Liu Tianzhi sighed.

Before, he just felt that He Qiao was not simple, but he didn't expect that He Qiao would be so strong, although He Qiao's strength just now was much worse than him, but it could be regarded as stepping into the peak of the Xuan Realm.

"I have no ill will towards Qingyun Academy, and I will come to participate in the trials of Qingyun Academy, and it is only because of Qing'er. He Qiao explained.

"I really can't teach you anything. Liu Tianzhi sighed again, just now, the sword intent of the two collided, and it was comparable, but his Liu Tianzhi's sword intent was based on his powerful cultivation and could only be displayed, and He Qiao was just a simple intent.

This is enough to show that He Qiao's intention far exceeds his sword intent.

Not only that, but he also had a feeling that He Qiao's knife intent was exactly the same as his knife intent, or rather, He Qiao's knife intent was made by imitating his sword intent, if it was true, it would be even more terrifying.

Imitating his own sword intent has such power, so how strong is his intent? Liu Tianzhi was a little unimaginable.

He Qiao didn't answer, turned around and continued to look at the top of the golden mountain, at this time Su Muqing had already climbed more than two hundred floors, and her speed was very fast, far faster than others.

Your trial is a test of willpower. He Qiao asked.

"Yes and not quite, talent also has some influence. Liu Tianzhi nodded.

"In this path to heaven, cultivation does not have any advantages, the higher the cultivation, the heavier the pressure, but the talent is strong enough, can be invincible at the same level, then this ladder to heaven is naturally easier for you than others, of course, as for how many layers you can reach, it depends on your willpower, cultivation, only if you are tenacious enough, can you go further. Liu Tianzhi continued.

He Qiao nodded in agreement and said, "The avenue is difficult, and the heart of the Dao is far more important than the talent. ”

"They are all a group of teenagers, very malleable, and the heart can be cultivated. Liu Tianzhi said.

He Qiao felt that what Liu Tianzhi said was very reasonable, and just wanted to open his mouth to agree, when he suddenly saw Liu Tianzhi holding a booklet in his hand, and asked curiously: "What are you holding in your hand?" He vaguely saw that there seemed to be a lot of names written on the booklet.

Liu Tianzhi laughed and said: "It's nothing, haha, young people, what they need most is opportunity, and I am creating an opportunity for them." ”

He Qiao: "..."

He was speechless now, and he remembered what Lin Yizui said, "As long as you have money, you can pass." ”

There is no doubt that the names on this booklet are all "voluntary" contributions to Qingyun Academy.

An hour passed, two hours passed, and on the ladder at this time, everyone's positions were basically fixed, and only a few scattered people were still trying to climb up.

Of these people, nearly half of them stayed below the three hundred floors, and the number of people on the two hundred floors was the largest, and the black pressure was overwhelming. And the remaining half, most of them are concentrated between three hundred and four hundred floors.

Only a few hundred people sporadically exceeded the four hundred floors.

As for those who can reach above the 600th level, there are less than ten.

And among these ten people, there are also Su Muqing and Lin Yidrunk.

Looking at Lin Yidrunk, who was standing on more than seven hundred floors, He Qiao was not the slightest surprised, He Qiao had already felt that this Lin Yidrunk was not simple.

He Qiao could conclude that Lin Yizui, who was parked on the seven hundred and seventy-seventh floor at this time, definitely hid his strength, and he had a hunch that if Lin Yidrunk was serious, it was not impossible to reach the top.

As for the one above the eight hundred floors, there was only one Su Muqing, she was standing on the nine hundred and ninety-ninth floors at the moment, but she did not reach the top.

In fact, as early as half an hour ago, Su Muqing had already arrived here.

He Qiao's prediction was right, this so-called ladder to the sky is a test of will, and this kind of test is really not difficult for Su Muqing now.

This test is nothing compared to the pain of taking the demon pill every day.

Su Muqing's strength is only in the second stage of blood refining, and the pressure caused by this ladder to heaven is not great, and it can even be said to be very small.

So her speed was naturally very fast, and in more than half an hour, she reached the nine hundred floors, and along the way, she felt that it should be easy for her to reach the top.

However, above the 900th floor, everything changes.

Above the nine hundred floors, the difficulty of climbing the ladder directly increased tenfold, and her speed slowed down because of this, but she still had confidence.

In the next hour or so, she finally reached the nine hundred and ninety-ninth floor with great difficulty.

She felt that the pressure on the 999th floor was far from reaching the limit of what she could bear, but for some reason, she couldn't take this last step anyway.
