On top of the Acheron Sword Pillar, Nie Tian stood calmly. Like a lion, he guarded his territory.
The dozens of swordsmen around him were all eager and waiting for the right moment to strike.
Though Nie Tian had demonstrated his extraordinary abilities, compared to the others on the sword pillars, he was far too weak. Naturally, he became the target of the other swordsmen.
"Looks like I went too easy on them and they treated me like a soft persimmon." Nie Tian looked around and bitterly smiled.
When other swordsmen fought for the sword pillars, they gave it their all and didn't hesitate to kill.
But Nie Tian only defeated his competitors and didn't kill them.
Because of this, he was naturally treated as a weakling by others.
"Everyone, let's attack together and kill this young man!" Just then, a swordsman with a pair of triangular eyes spoke Coldly and with a dark expression.
"Alright!" Everyone else had the same idea and immediately agreed.
"Alright, then let's do it." Nie Tian was not afraid at all. Instead, he was excited and expectant. He wanted to see just how powerful he had become after the Star Mark was unsealed.
"You are seeking death!" The triangular eyed swordsman was enraged. He growled and sword intent exploded around him. He slashed out angrily. The shadow of the sword was extremely sharp and emitted cold killer's intent.
It was obvious that he didn't hold back and didn't mind killing Nie Tian right away.
Feeling the killer's intent, Nie Tian's lips curled up into a cold smile.
Since his opponent was acting this way, then he had nothing to worry about.
Hum! In the next second, the Sword in the Sky was unsheathed. A crisp sword hum pierced through the air and a wave of sword energy surged out.
Nie Tian's long sword slashed across the sky. The wrath of a demon and god was unstoppable.
Bang! Bang! Bang! In the next second, a series of muffled noises were heard and dozens of swordsmen were flung out. Some even exploded and died tragically, turning into a pool of blood in the air.
"How is this possible?" Everyone stabilized themselves. They had been seriously injured, and they looked at Nie Tian in shock and disbelief.
They were all powerful warriors in the Sword Dao, and some of them were even swordsmen in Saint Defier Realm. Yet when they worked together, they were heavily injured by a swordsman who was only in the fourth level of Sword Heavenly Disaster. This was simply too terrifying.
How did Nie Tian possess such terrifying strength?
Nie Tian stood on the sword pillar and could not help but purse his lips. He did not expect the power of this sword to be so strong.
One must know that he did not use his full strength. He only swung his sword to test the waters.
If he had used his full strength just now, these dozens of people would have died on the spot.
On the other sword pillar, a pair of eyes stared fixedly at Nie Tian. Amidst the surprise, there was an unconcealable excitement.
The owner of these eyes was none other than the young Human Emperor, Lin Fan.
"It has only been a few days, but his strength has increased so quickly. Interesting." Lin Fan's lips curled up, and his cold eyes shone with a strange light.
He did not expect Nie Tian's strength to increase so quickly.
But when he saw this, he was very happy.
Because if it was the previous Nie Tian, he would not be his opponent. The current Nie Tian finally piqued his interest a little.
If he won the bet by crushing his opponent, it would be too boring.
But now, he had some fun.
Due to Nie Tian's powerful performance, no other swordsmen dared to provoke him.
Very soon, the fight for the sword pillars came to an end. Two hundred swordsmen stood on the sword pillars and declared that they were the victors.
"Congratulations, everyone. You have successfully entered the second stage of the Battle of Acheron. Three days later, the competition will be held here. Please come on time," the Human Emperor said loudly. Once he finished speaking, he left.
Nie Tian breathed a sigh of relief. In the next three days, he could consolidate his strength so that he could perform better in the competition.
But at this time, he saw a shadowy face looking at him from afar. Doomsday 12.
"This guy, he also wants to comprehend the sword in the Acheron?" Nie Tian frowned, his heart sinking.
Doomsday 12 was a terrifying character. If he met him during the competition, it would be troublesome.
Doomsday 12's lips curled into a cold smile. Then, his figure flickered and he left.
"Nie Tian, it seems that he has his eyes on you," Yinfeng Wuwo said worriedly with a gloomy expression.
One Lin Fan was troublesome enough. Adding Doomsday 12 would undoubtedly make Nie Tian even more anxious.
"He probably won't kill me, at least not now." Nie Tian shook his head bitterly and said with a smile.
In the Acheron Monument, he had sensed Doomsday 12's killing intent, but the latter had hesitated.
Nie Tian guessed that he had some secrets on him that Doomsday 12 was interested in, which was why the latter hadn't acted.
He was also curious about the connection between the Star Origin Stone and Doomsday 12's third soul.
Soon, three days had passed. Two hundred swordsmen had gathered above the sword pillars.
As for the other eliminated swordsmen, apart from a few dozen chosen by the Human Emperor to be referees, the rest had been chased out of the Acheron Holy Land.
The following battles were only to determine who would win first. Even the losers could enter the Acheron Flower to comprehend the sword.
"Senior Scarlet Life, comprehending the sword in the Acheron Flower is too risky. I think you should consider it carefully." At this time, Nie Tian was trying to dissuade the Scarlet Life Loyal Heart.
Comprehending the sword in the Acheron Flower was too dangerous. Unless one was an extremely talented swordsman, entering the Acheron Flower was tantamount to courting death.
Nie Tian admitted that the Scarlet Life Loyal Heart was a top-notch swordsman, but his talent had not reached the peak.
If the Scarlet Life Loyal Heart wanted to participate in the Acheron Sword Comprehension, he was afraid that the result would be tragic.
"Nie Tian, you don't need to dissuade me. I know my talent very well." The Scarlet Life Loyal Heart nodded slightly, but his eyes were extremely firm. "But comprehending the sword in the Acheron Sword Comprehension is my chance. Even if this chance is only one in a billion, I cannot give it up."
Nie Tian was silent, not knowing what to say.
Of course, he knew what the Scarlet Life Loyal Heart was thinking. The latter really wanted to avenge Donghuang Zhengrong.
In order to make a breakthrough, the Scarlet Life Loyal Heart didn't hesitate to use insidious means to seize Yu Jingchen's sword embryo. It was obvious how strong its desire for revenge was.
So now, even if it knew that there was a bottomless abyss in front of it, the Scarlet Life Loyal Heart had to jump down without hesitation.
After a long time, Nie Tian let out a long breath and nodded silently.
In next to no time, the Battle of Apex had begun.
The rules of the battle were simple and brutal. The loser would be eliminated, and the winner would advance to the next round.
Of course, during the battle, the performance of the Acheron Sword Chant would be combined to avoid the battle between the strong as much as possible.
The four sword pillars formed a battlefield. In the first round, there would be fifty battles going on at the same time.
After a while, Nie Tian stood on top of a sword pillar, waiting for his opponent to enter the battlefield.
Soon, a tyrannical figure descended and appeared in front of Nie Tian.
"It's this guy." When Nie Tian saw the opponent's face, he couldn't help but sneer.
