Bang!

In the ninth level, Fang Xin was shoved out of the Divine Mountain in a disheveled state, stopping at this level.

"This is Heavenly Principle! Even Li Li is stuck at Sword Six, while Fang Xin's at the bottom of the rankings, has already cleared eight levels."

A prodigy from the Jade Palace Prefecture was filled with resentment and angrily denounced the injustice.

"Look, Xiao Ran has passed the sixth level, and he also speed-completed the seventh level."

Shen Wuyou of the Hengdao Sect pointed to the commotion on the mountain and exclaimed in surprise.

"No need to look anymore, Sword Six Sword Seven are from the Qingling Palace, they're obviously letting us win."

The prodigy of the Five Thunder Hall curled his lip.

Such blatant cheating, yet the Dao-Carrying Artifact don't do anything about it.

"Forget it, the Venerable have already completed the rapid passage, and the True Saints look down upon the Divine Mountain. This competition among prodigies is hardly meaningful anyway."

Some people sighed. The best opportunities are all shared by the true saints, and no matter how hard they try, these divine beings can only get a sip of soup.

"Huh? Xiao Ran has passed nine levels."

The ninth challenger was clearly not from the Qingling Palace, and Xiao Ran's ability to pass the challenge must have been due to his own strength.

Before long, Xiao Ran broke through eleven levels in a row, but stopped at the twelfth level.

"I have to admit, this person is truly strong; they passed eleven levels."

"Hmm, perhaps Sword Six Sword Seven didn't hold back; this guy fought his way up through sheer strength."

"If that's the case, then for geniuses like us who Double Break Six, the difficulty lies in level twelve."

"Everyone, I'll go first."

The young man dressed in plain clothes suddenly spoke; he was also a genius of Qingling, the third- Upper True Disciple of the Venerable One.

He progressed quickly through the levels, persevering for a long time at the twelfth level, but ultimately succumbed to defeat.

"It's confirmed, the difficulty lies in Sword Twelve."

One of the geniuses Double Break Six levels nodded.

Following the Plain-clothed Youth, several other geniuses climbed the mountain, but they all only reached the sixth level of the Order Breakthrough, stopping at the sixth level of the Sword Disciple, and were all beaten black and blue.

"For us, the difficult part is Sword Six."

Shen Wuyou said solemnly, "His strength is about the same as Li Li's, and it's doubtful that he can defeat Sword Six."

Buzz buzz buzz!

Another prodigy who broke through level six in a single climb, speed-clearing the mountain continuously, did not stop at level six, but like Fang Xin, was defeated by Sword Nine.

"Ah!"

Some people screamed menacingly, saying they couldn't take it anymore.

This Sword Disciple from Qingling was still preoccupied with his own interpersonal relationships, while launching a fierce attack on the prodigies of other Dao system.

"This person is truly hateful. Who is willing to go up the mountain and teach him a lesson, to vent everyone's anger?"

Tang Sheng's expression was icy as he looked around and spoke.

"If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself? Why are you asking others?"

Someone said impatiently.

At a time like this, asking such a question is pointless. If he had Double Break Six, it would have happened early this morning.

"In that case, Tang, will do it on your behalf and vent your anger."

Tang Sheng said calmly.

His strength is no less than Xiao Ran's, and he is confident that he can quickly defeat the top eleven Sword Disciple.

"We can't be careless. Apart from Qingling, no one else has attempted to climb the mountain with Double Break Six. It's better to play it safe."

The Divine Axe suddenly spoke.

Tang Sheng chuckled and said, "Senior, do you not believe in my abilities?"

In the South Heaven Departmental Prefecture, aside from Wang Ping Daozhen, his talent was among the top tier, giving him a strong foundation.

Having just acquired this extraordinary Supreme Treasure, he wanted to showcase the splendor of his Tang Sheng to leave a lasting impression.

Call out!

Without hesitation, Tang Sheng rushed into the Sword One Sword Fighting Arena where Jian Yi was.

After he left, several prodigies Double Break Six in two separate events were exchanging ideas:

Do you think Tang Sheng can achieve what Xiao Ran did?

"There's definitely no problem."

"I'm always a little worried; I'm afraid this person will also stop at Sword Six, and that would be really troublesome."

Buzz buzz buzz!

Tang Sheng's strength was truly terrifying; amidst the admiring gazes of many, he broke through several levels in succession.

His figure appeared at the location of Sword Five.

Upon seeing Sword Five's face, Tang Sheng couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Everyone thinks that Sword Six and Sword Seven are holding back, but little do they know that Sword Five is also from the Qingling Palace. It seems that Fang Xin is truly unworthy of her reputation. If it were a matter of real skill, she probably wouldn't even be able to defeat you."

Sword Five frowned. He hadn't gone easy on her; he acted fairly. Junior Sister Fang Xin had defeated him squarely.

Of course, he also knew that Fang Xin had indeed used personal connections with Sword Six and Sword Seven, there was no denying that, and he couldn't argue against it.

"Enough talk, let's fight!"

Sword Five gripped his sword, his fighting spirit surging.

Tang Sheng was still smiling, his expression arrogant, his contempt evident in his eyes.

Sword Five gritted his teeth. He was, after all, a prodigy, yet he was being discriminated against by the other party.

Boom!

Sword Five was the first to charge forward.

However, he was quickly sent flying backward in a disheveled state, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Clearly, the two sides are not on the same level.

Tang Sheng stood with his hands folded back, his opponent being Sword Five, but his gaze was fixed on Sword Six's Sword Fighting Platform, a playful expression on his face:

"Very well, before killing Sword Six, let's use Sword Five as an appetizer. They both come from Qingling, so we can't favor one over the other."

Having said that, he finally moved, unleashing Thunder attack.

"Ah..."

Sword Five roared, having suffered a severe blow. He wanted to admit defeat and let the opponent go, but the opponent gave him no chance, repeatedly humiliating and tormenting him with heavy blows.

Tang Sheng stepped on Sword Five's chest and exerted a little force, causing the opponent to let out a miserable growl.

He looked down at the other person and chuckled, "This trial is to test the geniuses of the four great Dao system. At the same time, that senior divided them into different ranks from the very beginning."

"You were captured and made a mountain-guarding Sword Disciple, which shows that you lack potential and have no hope of becoming Dao Monarch."

Sword Five was unaware of this inside story and thought that being captured to guard the mountain was an honor because that senior had recognized his talent.

Upon hearing these remarks, he instantly collapsed, his face turning deathly pale, finding it difficult to accept.

Bang!

Tang Sheng lightly lifted his foot, Sword Five's body exploded with a bang, blood splattering Sword Fighting Arena.

At the same time, he didn't forget to humiliate her. "For you, it's time to Xiao Ran with Fang Xin and Xiao Ran, after all, this is the closest you've ever been to the Dao Monarch, so you should seize the opportunity."

Buzz!

At this moment, the laws of the heavens trembled, repairing Sword Five's body.

This is one of the advantages of Mountain Guardian; no matter how severe the injury, they can recover immediately.

Sword Five could finally catch his breath, but his face was gloomy as he stared at Tang Sheng with murderous intent, his resentment growing stronger.

Tang Sheng didn't care. With his back to Sword Five, the fight was over. If his opponent still didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't mind humiliating him again.

Da da da.

Tang Sheng strode away, climbing towards Sword Six.

Outside world.

Everyone was focused on Tang Sheng's progress in climbing the mountain, and when they saw him linger at Sword Five Pass for quite a while, many people raised their eyebrows.

"What's he doing? This level is supposed to be a speedrun."

"Could it be that they want to have more fighting, to warm up before beating Sword Six?"

"That's possible. Or perhaps Sword Five is also from the Qingling Palace, and he's avenging us."

Buzz!

The sixth level emitted Order Light, and everyone eagerly awaited what was to come. It was clear that Tang Sheng and Sword Six had met.

Level 6.

"Sword Six, what do you want to do..."

Tang Sheng's figure appeared here, sharpening his knife, ready to unleash a massacre, but a large hand arrived even faster.

Tang Sheng hesitated slightly, and before he could finish speaking, a sharp sound rang out as a large slap landed on his face, causing Blood Blossom to splatter everywhere and teeth to come out with the blood.

Take a break
