Zhuo Dongxuan, Dai Tianwei Ascend the Mountain

"Okay! Brother!"

Ximen Zhengxiong felt a bit strange. His brother was usually very steady and wouldn't have let him go straight ahead like this.

With a little more caution, he looked in the direction Ximen Zhengxiong was looking and saw the Divine Maiden of the Shocking Heaven Tower and the Saintess of the Mysterious Moon Society surrounding a young man who looked even more ethereal than his brother.

So that's how it is!

Brother! Leave it to your little brother, and I'll definitely make you the most dazzling one on the scene.

After taking only a few steps, he heard a servant's Spiritual Sense transmission in his ear, "Second Young Master, one of that young man's clansmen is currently climbing and is holding first place."

Ximen Zhengxiong looked up and saw Xiao Xueyu struggling to climb.

He silently took note of this and walked towards the entrance of the climb.

Three minutes passed.

"This young man in the black brocade robe is so fast!"

"He's already reached the 150th floor in just three minutes."

"He's Ximen Zhengxiong, the Second Young Master of the Ximen Family. No wonder he's so fast!"

Ten minutes later.

"Wow! Ximen Zhengxiong has surpassed the Divine Son of the Tai Chi Pavilion and is heading for the 370th floor."

"He doesn't even seem to be out of breath. Surpassing Xiao Xueyu, who is currently in first place, will probably be a simple matter."

"As expected of the Second Young Master of the Ximen Family, his strength is incredible!"

Another three minutes passed.

Ximen Zhengxiong looked at Xiao Xueyu, who was standing on the 421st step, with large beads of sweat dripping down her face. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a gust of wind formed around him.

Seeing that the newcomer was only slightly out of breath, Xiao Xueyu knew she was no match for him. She moved step by step, making way for him.

But Ximen Zhengxiong rudely used his gust of wind to knock her away, saying, "Beauty, don't blame me. Blame your clansman for stealing my brother's thunder."

Xiao Xueyu's beautiful eyes widened, and her entire body flew off the steps, plummeting rapidly downwards.

If no one caught Xiao Xueyu, she would basically have no chance of survival.

However, under the terrifying pressure of Neon Light Peak, those who could fly were a tiny minority.

"What a shame! The Xiao Family of Xuanzhou City had a genius!"

"The Second Young Master of the Ximen Family is acting so disgracefully. She even made way for him!"

"We can only pray that Xiao Xueyu isn't dead after falling."

"Look, there's a silver-white light..."

Everyone looked up and saw a beam of light flying towards Xiao Xueyu, faster than her falling speed.

Finally, the light caught Xiao Xueyu and stopped. Upon closer inspection, it was a young man hovering in the air.

"Holy crap! Hovering in the air? Is he unaffected by that terrifying pressure?"

"He's only at the peak of the sixth level of the Sea Opening Realm. That's unbelievable!"

"This young man is the God of Slaughter I mentioned earlier. No wonder he could catch her!"

Whoosh!

Xiao Yao, holding Xiao Xueyu in his arms, quickly returned to his original position.

After gently putting her down, he said, "I will avenge you later."

How dare they bully someone so brazenly? Did they think the Xiao Family was easy to bully?

The Xiao Family members were all invigorated, their loyalty to Xiao Yao deepening.

Xiao Xueyu's expression recovered, and she asked with confusion, "Before he knocked me away, he said a clansman of the Xiao Family stole his brother's thunder."

"I didn't see anyone," Xiao Yao said after scanning the surroundings.

Zhuo Dongxuan and Dai Tianwei were speechless. They had seemed quite sharp before, so why were they acting so foolish now?

However, this was good, as it would allow them to secretly avenge Xiao Xueyu.

"Xiao Yao, I'm going to climb now!" Zhuo Dongxuan said.

Then Dai Tianwei also said, "Brother Xiao Yao, I'm ready to climb!"

"Then you two go!"

Xiao Yao didn't try to stop them but was still puzzled as to why they chose to climb at this time.

Ten minutes later.

Zhuo Dongxuan and Dai Tianwei, neither giving way to the other, climbed to the 450th step.

At this moment, Ximen Zhengxiong had already reached the 520th step, but he was no longer as relaxed as before. He was panting heavily, and sweat was pouring out of him uncontrollably.

"Young Clan Leader, how many steps do you think Ximen Zhengxiong can climb?"

Xiao Xueyu asked this because she had heard Xiao Yao say earlier that she could at least climb to the 450th step.

If she hadn't been knocked off by Ximen Zhengxiong's gale, she also felt she could reach at least the 450th step.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yao replied, "Based on the current pattern, at least the 600th step."

The 600th step?

Xiao Xueyu had thought it was an honor to surpass the Divine Son of Tai Chi Pavilion!

She hadn't expected more powerful geniuses to appear.

In that case, she definitely couldn't follow the Young Clan Leader's footsteps in the future.

I must become stronger!

Ten minutes passed.

Ximen Zhengxiong stood at the 553rd step, his breathing labored, but he persisted in climbing.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Dongxuan and Dai Tianwei had already reached the 550th step. To avenge Xiao Xueyu, they exchanged a glance.

Then, Dai Tianwei took the lead, stepping towards the 551st step, generating a gale all over her body, just like Ximen Zhengxiong had earlier.

Next, she passed Ximen Zhengxiong without hesitation.

Under the impact of the gale, Ximen Zhengxiong, who was already struggling, tilted to the side, falling towards the mountain.

Just then, Zhuo Dongxuan, also covered in a gale, approached from behind and collided with Ximen Zhengxiong's body.

This caused Ximen Zhengxiong to fall off the steps, plummeting like Xiao Xueyu had earlier, but much faster. He had no time to regain his balance or use his mana.

Seeing this, Ximen Zhenghao knew the two women had done it intentionally, but there was no evidence to prove it.

So, he could only go to save his brother, otherwise, his brother would surely die here.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! As expected, evil deeds have evil consequences!"

"He deserves to die for falling!"

"No..."

The cultivators dared not utter a word, nor even breathe heavily.

This was because Ximen Zhenghao was staring at them, already revealing a murderous intent.

After saving Ximen Zhengxiong, Ximen Zhenghao did not choose to climb immediately. Instead, he brought his brother back to the servants.

He looked at Ximen Zhengxiong, whose face had become much gaunter, and said, "You didn't have to do this for me!"

"Brother! You are clearly the strongest man here, why is he getting all the attention?" Ximen Zhengxiong said indignantly. He then looked at Zhuo Dongxuan and Dai Tianwei, who were continuing their climb, and asked, "Why would the Divine Maiden of Shocking Heaven Tower and the Saintess of Mysterious Moon Society team up to target me?"

"It's naturally because of that girl from the Xiao Family whom you knocked down earlier," Ximen Zhenghao revealed the truth in one sentence.

He actually knew it was more about Xiao Yao, the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Family, but he didn't elaborate further.

Because he would personally make the Divine Maiden of Shocking Heaven Tower and the Saintess of Mysterious Moon Society pay a bloody price.

At the same time, Xiao Xueyu asked curiously, "Young Clan Leader, at least how many steps can the Saintess of Mysterious Moon Society climb?"

Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, calculated, and then said, "At least the 700th step."

"And the Divine Maiden of Shocking Heaven Tower?" Xiao Xueyu continued to ask.

Xiao Yao knew Xiao Xueyu would ask this and replied directly, "The same. They are about the same."

"If they can only reach the 700th step, then any cultivator who can reach the 800th step must be very impressive! I wonder if anyone can reach the summit?" Xiao Xueyu said with emotion.

She had thought reaching the 450th step was already quite good!

But looking at it now, she was trash, incomparable to true prodigies.

Suddenly, Xiao Xueyu's gaze fell on Xiao Yao. She was now very curious about how many steps the Young Clan Leader could at least climb.

Xiao Yao seemed to read Xiao Xueyu's thoughts and said, "I haven't climbed before, so I'm not sure how many steps I can reach. However, reaching the 700th step should be an easy task."

Although the surrounding cultivators had witnessed Xiao Yao's strength earlier, calling reaching the 700th step an easy task was truly an exaggeration!

"Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Family, if you can reach the 700th step without taking a single breath, I'll eat a pound of shit."

"I think you're just here to scam us for food and drinks!"

"Get lost, you bastard! I just really don't believe he can reach the 700th step without taking a breath!"

[Ding! Sensing the surrounding people's distrust of the Host's strength, a mission is issued: Reach the 700th step without taking a breath. Upon completion, a generous reward will be granted.]

[Ding! Host, you must severely slap their faces, and by the way, make that person eat a pound of shit.]

Xiao Yao was speechless internally, but he became quite interested. He narrowed his eyes and said, "The one who's going to eat shit, I've remembered you! When I reach the 700th step without taking a breath, don't you dare go back on your word."

"Hmph! Just a pound of shit. If you can do it, I dare to eat it," the man retorted stubbornly.

Just then, the sound of strong winds rustling clothes could be heard continuously.

Everyone looked towards the sound and saw Ximen Zhenghao already standing on the first step.

"Wow! Ximen Zhenghao is going up!"

"I declare that the entire venue has now entered its climax!"

"You don't need to declare it. Ximen Zhenghao is the strongest prodigy in the Southern Wilderness Domain!"

"I believe everyone, like me, is eagerly anticipating his performance."
