Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

That person was dressed in white, with jade hanging from their waist, and moved with extreme speed.

As they passed by him, they didn't forget to let out a mocking sneer.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly. He didn't think the other person looked like someone in the Body Tempering Realm, so why were they so fast?

But then Li Guanqi saw two Qingfeng Charms stuck to the soles of the young man's feet!

Li Guanqi shook his head and began to adjust his breathing and stride. He didn't know how many steps were left, and he wanted to conserve his strength as much as possible.

When he reached the thousandth step, the steps, which were more than ten zhang wide, were filled with people, leaving only a narrow path about two chi wide for people to climb.

The person in front slowed down, and naturally, the people behind could only wait.

The young men and women sitting on the steps looked at everyone passing by with playful expressions.

Some even made no attempt to hide the smiles on their faces.

It seemed that these people had been incited by the words of others, and that was why they were sitting so densely, leaving only a small path to restrict people's speed.

Li Guanqi couldn't help but sneer at this scene.

"It's true that those who have been rained on want to tear up other people's umbrellas!"

"Hmph!"

Li Guanqi looked around with sharp eyes.

He saw the white jade handrails beside the steps, with a thousand-zhang cliff on the other side of the handrails!

However, Li Guanqi suddenly exerted force under his feet, and his figure instantly soared ten feet into the air.

When he leaped out nearly two zhang, he stepped on the shoulder of a young man and leaped up again!

"Wow!! How can that person jump so far?"

"Is he crazy! What is he going to do? There's a cliff down there!"

This shocking action immediately caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.

Da da!

Li Guanqi instantly landed on the handrail, his body crouched low, like a leopard preying on its prey, and he sped upwards.

However, the young man's actions caused a series of screams, but no one dared to imitate him.

You should know that on the other side of the handrail is a thousand-zhang cliff!

If you lose your footing and fall, you will be smashed to pieces. Don't expect the Great Xia Sword Sect to send disciples to save you.

However, Li Guanqi was not the only one who was bold and skilled.

There were hundreds of steps blocked like this, and if you passed slowly, others would have already reached the top.

Among this group, there were many disciples from large clans who had been honing their bodies since childhood and had also entered the Body Tempering Realm.

Some exerted force with their arms and climbed onto the wall on the side of the steps, their figures like apes, using the dead vines to instantly cross the crowd.

Others forcibly stepped on the shoulders of others to cross the crowded people.

For a time, the crowd used all kinds of methods to rush towards the summit.

"Huff… Ha…"

At this time, Li Guanqi had already reached more than two thousand steps, and his forward speed had not slowed down much.

The cloth strips carrying the sword coffin had left two long blood marks on his shoulders.

Sweat blurred the young man's eyes, and at this time, only a few people could keep up with him.

When Li Guanqi stepped on the last step, panting, the spiritual talisman on his chest also stopped burning.

Li Guanqi put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.

At this time, a strong young man came to his side and was about to reach out and pat him on the shoulder.

Li Guanqi sensed something and dodged it.

The young man was slightly surprised, retracted his hand, gave a thumbs up, and praised.

"Good fellow, brother, your physique is really awesome!"

Li Guanqi turned to look at the dark-skinned young man and smiled lightly: "Brother, you flatter me, you're not bad either."

The young man laughed, scratched his head.

"I chased you all the way and couldn't catch up. Even I was sweating when you passed through the crowd on the handrail. You are really brave!"

"By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Dong."

Looking at the young man's outstretched hand, Li Guanqi was slightly stunned.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and said softly: "Blind man, Li Guanqi."

Lin Dong was slightly stunned, then looked at the cloth strips on Li Guanqi's eyes and grinned.

"They all call me Dongzi, you can call me that in the future."

"Let's go, it should be over soon."

Li Guanqi had a good impression of this familiar young man, and the two walked side by side towards the square.

At this time, Li Guanqi looked up and scanned the surroundings, and he found that this square platform was probably more than two thousand zhang in circumference.

Behind the square, there were more than a hundred steps, and above was a huge cave formed by two mountain peaks.

Above, the stone carvings were written in a flamboyant style with the four characters 'Great Xia Sword Sect'.

Dozens of different colors of sword energy crisscrossed and surrounded it.

Lin Dong told Li Guanqi about the peaks of the Great Xia Sword Sect in his ear.

Hearing what Lin Dong said, Li Guanqi couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Are you very familiar with the Great Xia Sword Sect?"

A simple smile appeared on Lin Dong's face, and he scratched his head and replied.

"I have been practicing martial arts at the foot of the mountain since I was five years old. Entering the Great Xia Sword Sect is my lifelong dream, so of course I know it very well."

"If I can be lucky enough to build a foundation, fly with a sword, and slay demons and eliminate evil, how wonderful!"

Just as the two were talking, a little fat man in a golden robe finally climbed the steps with difficulty.

His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and he lay on the ground with a flushed face, panting heavily.

The spiritual talisman on his chest was only the size of a fingernail.

The little fat man carefully held the little piece of yellow talisman paper, and tears came out.

After a while, the little fat man got up with difficulty, saw Li Guanqi and the two behind him, and walked towards them with a smile.

As he walked, the little fat man bent over and said with a smile: "Hello, two brothers."

"I'm Li Shengan, I secretly hid a few chicken legs, do you want to eat them together?"

Originally, Li Guanqi wanted to refuse, after all, it was not good to eat other people's things without knowing them.

But just as he was about to refuse, his stomach couldn't resist the tempting aroma and grumbled.

Li Shengan's small eyes narrowed with laughter, and he directly stuffed the chicken legs in his arms into the hands of the two.

Li Guanqi found that the chicken legs were still hot, and he heard Li Shengan say.

"I put it in my arms, don't worry, it's wrapped in oil paper, there's definitely no sweaty smell."

Lin Dong laughed loudly when he heard the words, and gnawed without being polite.

"My name is Lin Dong, this brother is Li Guanqi."

"Don't say… climbing these steps is exhausting, I'm really hungry."

Li Shengan took over the conversation and complained: "Yeah… I didn't hear that I had to climb any stairs last year, I just found someone to spend some money to carry me up."

Li Guanqi smiled and said nothing. He didn't believe that the Great Xia Sword Sect was idle and did such a thing.

Indeed!

Just as the three had finished gnawing the chicken legs, two young disciples in white sect uniforms flew out of the Tianmen Cave on their swords!

The figure of carrying their hands on their backs and flying with their swords completely shocked everyone!

At this time, there were nearly three thousand people standing in the square, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw this scene.

Their eyes were burning as they looked at the two ethereal figures.

One male and one female, the man was handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a resolute face.

The woman had a cold temperament and skin like凝脂.

Oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips.

What a stunning beauty!

Even Li Guanqi, who had always been calm, looked at this scene through his mind's eye, and his heart was agitated.

Imagining that one day he could also step on a sword and fly between heaven and earth!

Li Shengan murmured after seeing the two.

"Good fellow, Zhou Zhi, the senior brother of the outer sect of Tianjin Peak, and Jiang Su, the senior sister, are here to greet us in person?"

Li Guanqi's ears twitched, and he remembered the names and identities of the two.

According to his observation, he always felt that Li Shengan didn't seem to be from an ordinary family.

The man and woman landed gracefully, and everyone's eyes focused on the two.

At this time, there were very few people climbing the steps.

Zhou Zhi scanned the surroundings expressionlessly, and then with a wave of his hand, a huge ancient bell slammed on the stone slab with a bang.

Then the man rang the ancient bell and said in a deep voice: "Time is up! Those who have not climbed the steps can go back!"

The voice mixed with spiritual power spread far away, and countless people complained!

However, the man turned a deaf ear to this, and threw out a jade slip. The thousands of steps disappeared into the eyes of everyone!

The steps that originally existed were now a thousand-zhang cliff!

The square where everyone was standing was floating in the air.

Then, a series of mysterious light runes suddenly lit up in the center of the square.

Finally, it converged into the shape of a teleportation array, flashing with a faint light.

Jiang Su's cold voice slowly sounded: "Those whose spiritual talisman on their chest is completely burned, please step forward."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Jiang Su exuded an invisible pressure, the noise disappeared, and many people walked out dejectedly.

"Those who did not climb the mountain within the stipulated time, please enter the array."

Li Guanqi couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Li Shengan, who was carefully holding the fingernail-sized yellow talisman in his hand.

"Your luck is really good, it's just a little bit."

Li Shengan stared at the yellow talisman paper in his hand, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "God knows how hard I worked!"

Lin Dong looked at the little fat man with some doubts and said: "Brother, I don't think you are short of money, why don't you get a few seal talismans or something?"

But who knew that Li Shengan sneered and said: "It's not that simple… you guys watch."

Indeed!

Zhou Zhi's figure slowly rose into the air, his eyes revealed a sharp gaze, and he said in a deep voice: "Those who take advantage of loopholes, step forward!"

As soon as these words came out, many people lowered their heads and looked around.

Humph!

A cold snort was like a huge stone pressing on everyone's heart, and then Zhou Zhi waved his hand and threw out several transparent crystal balls.

Inside were the figures of many people who used seal talismans when climbing the steps.

There were also those who directly took special powder, and so on and so forth.

Without exception, these people were also deprived of their qualifications.

One of the strong young men refused to accept it, took a few steps forward and looked at Zhou Zhi, and said loudly.

"I just took some blood-activating powder that is beneficial to qi and blood. I am already at the peak of body tempering, why should I also be deprived of my qualifications!"

Zhou Zhi suddenly turned his head to look at the man, his eyes narrowed and said in a deep voice.

"You… want me to give you an explanation?"

The young man straightened his neck and said unconvinced: "Yes! I am not only at the peak of body tempering, my father has already asked someone to help me test my spiritual root."

"I am a true spiritual root of wood and fire! Why should I be the same as a group of waste!"

Zhou Zhi's mouth lifted into a sneer, he fell from mid-air and walked straight to the speaker!

Zhou Zhi, who was a head taller than the other party, looked down at the other party's eyes and sneered.

"You think your wood and fire spiritual root talent is very high, and you look down on others, right?"

The young man withstood Zhou Zhi's gaze and felt a strong sense of oppression, his face flushed red.

But he still said: "That's right! Why not!"

Zhou Zhi turned around and looked around, and said softly: "Do some of you also think so?"

Seeing that none of them dared to speak, Zhou Zhi sneered.

"You are not as brave as him!"

"What's your name?"

The young man looked up at Zhou Zhi, his heart calmed down a lot, and said in a deep voice: "Luo Hu!"

Zhou Zhi flew back, stood in the air, and looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Those who take advantage of loopholes, the Great Xia Sword Sect does not want, whoever wants to take them!"

"If there are no other questions, hurry up and get out!"

Luo Hu's face suddenly sank, and anger rose in his heart. He felt that Zhou Zhi was targeting him!

At this time, Luo Hu happened to see Li Guanqi's group of three.

He immediately vented his anger on Li Guanqi, pointed at him and roared.

"The Great Xia Sword Sect even wants a blind man! This declining sect might as well not come!"

Zhou Zhi's face suddenly became extremely gloomy after hearing these words.

Facing the three thousand or so sect-worshipping disciples at this time, he said in a deep voice.

"The Great Xia Sword Sect accepts disciples, first look at character, second look at perseverance, and third look at talent!"

"Aren't you unconvinced? Show me your spiritual talisman!"

Luo Hu took out the spiritual talisman from his arms and threw it to Zhou Zhi. Seeing that there was still a quarter of the spiritual talisman left, the crowd couldn't help but exclaim!

Because most of the spiritual talismans that can reach the top here only have about one-tenth left.

Luo Hu looked at Zhou Zhi with a defiant look.

It was as if he was saying that it was your loss that the Great Xia Sword Sect did not accept me.

However, Zhou Zhi walked straight to Li Guanqi and said softly: "Can you show me your spiritual talisman?"

Li Guanqi touched his nose, never thought that this would also affect him.

Then he took out the remaining spiritual talisman from his arms and handed it to Zhou Zhi.

Luo Hu, who had been looking at the two, couldn't help but say when he saw the folded spiritual talisman.

"I thought it was something! It's not much different from me, there's a quarter left!"

"This can only show that his strength is not bad, so what?"

But who knew that Zhou Zhi slowly unfolded the folded spiritual talisman in the shocked eyes of everyone.

A quarter!!

But… Li Guanqi's spiritual talisman only burned a quarter, and there was still a large section left!!

The previously folded talisman was not unfolded, and it looked like only a small piece.

Zhou Zhi was obviously a little surprised…

He looked at Luo Hu with cold eyes and said.

"Aren't you unconvinced? How about now?"

"No more nonsense! Get out!"
