Unrivaled Combat God was still in first place on the leaderboard with 14 points.
Yi Ke was originally in second place with 10 points, but Lin Huang had pushed him to third place.
Lin Huang's sudden rise in ranking immediately attracted the attention of countless competitors.
After all, everyone would take a look at the leaderboard when they were free. Naturally, they would pay attention to the sudden appearance of a second place.
"What's going on? Why is there a second place all of a sudden? "
"Xie Lin? I've never heard of this name before. I don't think he's a member of any grade-6 or grade-7 organization. I guess he's a member of some small organization. "
"I looked at the leaderboard three minutes ago. This guy's name wasn't in the top 100! It's only been three minutes and he's already in second place. Could he be cheating?! "
…
The competitors were discussing Xie Lin's sudden appearance in second place on the leaderboard.
Apart from Lin Huang himself, the only ones who could remain calm were the few members of Death's Scythe.
"His points are only increasing now. Is it because this guy's detection ability takes a long time?" Fallen Star mumbled softly when she saw Xie Lin's name appear on the leaderboard.
"No wonder he killed the Bug King and the Bug Queen!"
"No wonder Master Zang Tian has his eyes on him!"
Twin's two heads exclaimed almost at the same time when they saw the latest version of the leaderboard.
"Boss Xie Lin was really preparing his ultimate move earlier. He's already in second place!" Destiny was grinning from ear to ear as if he was the one in second place. "At this rate, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses Unrivaled Combat God and gets first place."
…
Naturally, Lin Huang knew that his sudden increase in points would definitely attract attention.
He did not plan to be so high-profile. He only wanted to get rid of a few unlucky fellows who were passing by before he met Sword Slave. According to his original plan, he would only encounter four competitors along the way. If all four of them had no points, he would only obtain four basic points and would not even be able to enter the top 100 on the leaderboard. However, he did not expect to encounter five competitors and the last two to give him seven points.
However, since he was already in second place and was seen by many competitors, Lin Huang decided to let nature take its course.
In any case, as long as he fought for first place, he would be noticed sooner or later. Lin Huang was not afraid of being noticed.
After taking care of five unlucky fellows along the way, Lin Huang and the War King continued on their way.
Since he could not monitor the powerhouse that he suspected to be a "Sword Servant", Lin Huang could not be sure if the other party was still in the same place. He could only use the coordinates that Warlord had discovered at the beginning as his destination and rush in that direction.
Approximately three to four minutes later, both of them finally approached the area where Unrivaled Combat God and the Sword Servants had fought earlier.
When that storehouse-like room appeared within the range of Lin Huang's Spiritual Force, Lin Huang immediately sensed the presence of an aura in that room.
That aura was clearly only at Virtual God rank-9, but it gave Lin Huang a faint sense of danger.
"That's him!" As soon as he sensed the aura, Lin Huang was certain that the other party was the "Sword Servant" he had seen in the video. Moreover, he was even more certain that the other party was a Sword Servant.
Logically, someone who had the ability to suppress Unrivaled Combat God would not stay in one place and wait for him. The only reasonable explanation was that the other party was a Sword Servant and could not leave the place where he was guarding.
Just as Lin Huang sensed the other party, the other party clearly sensed that Lin Huang and the War King were approaching.
Perhaps because he was annoyed at being disturbed by Unrivaled Combat God earlier, and now that he had encountered Lin Huang and the War King together, the powerhouse in the "storehouse" released his Sword Dao directly at Lin Huang and the War King.
The Sword Dao, which was infinitely close to True Martial Level, was driven by a strong will. Soon, it rushed toward Lin Huang like a wave.
In reality, the other party did not attack directly. Instead, he wanted to use his Sword Dao to force Lin Huang and the War King to retreat. He did not even swing his sword.
When Lin Huang saw the other party greet him so "politely", he could not help but feel the urge to retaliate. He also used his true god-level will and Sword Dao to turn into a wave and counterattacked.
The two colorless and invisible waves collided with each other, setting off a sky-shattering sound in the void.
This was a battle of ultimate Sword Dao.
Those who had not comprehended Sword Dao would not be able to sense anything unusual. However, if one were to be accidentally involved in this battle, even a Virtual God rank-9 powerhouse would be crushed to pieces by these two waves of Sword Dao at any moment.
Fortunately, before Lin Huang made his move, the War King had already secretly ordered him to retreat from the battlefield.
Lin Huang was excited to see two top-notch Sword Dao powerhouses fighting, but his opponent's face was full of surprise.
He had thought that the newcomer would be a small fry with average abilities. After all, the strength of Lin Huang's and the War King's auras was far inferior to Unrivaled Combat God's.
However, as soon as they started fighting, he immediately realized that he had underestimated Lin Huang. Although he could not determine what his opponent's true abilities were, at the very least, his Sword Dao was no less than his own.
The two waves of Sword Dao collided in the void, like two opposing waves crashing into each other. For a long time, there was no clear winner.
Lin Huang only waited for a moment. Seeing that there was no result, he immediately swung his sword.
The dark red blade sliced through the void, like a paper knife slicing through a thin piece of white paper.
Under this attack, the other party's Sword Dao finally collapsed and dispersed.
The corners of Lin Huang's lips curled up slightly as he withdrew his Sword Dao. He stomped the ground with both feet and rushed toward the warehouse.
In just a few breaths, he had passed through the obstacles of many buildings and arrived in front of the "warehouse".
Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was not a warehouse at all. It was a five-story building, just a little bigger.
With just a glance, Lin Huang spread his Divine Telekinesis and locked onto his opponent's position.
He dashed out again, leaping through a window and stepping directly into an empty room on the fifth floor.
Less than twenty meters away from Lin Huang, a slightly plump, bearded middle-aged man stood.
Lin Huang sized up the other party curiously. If he did not consider the faint Sword Dao emanating from his body, this person looked really ordinary. He did not have the aura of a powerhouse at all.
The bearded middle-aged man did not attack immediately. He was also sizing up Lin Huang, as if trying to get a good look at his opponent, who could clash head-on with his Sword Dao.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be one of the three hundred gatekeeper BOSSes in this Trial, right?"
Lin Huang asked directly. Although he had already guessed it, he still wanted to get a definite answer from the other party.
"That's right." The bearded middle-aged man nodded slightly. "I've also guessed your identity. You're not a competitor, are you?"
"I'm the participant who started this Trial," Lin Huang said frankly. He was not worried that the other party would find out about this. The other party was Great Heaven's Sword Servant, so it was impossible for him to leak information to a competitor.
Hearing Lin Huang's answer, the bearded middle-aged man's expression became serious. Even his aura began to boil. Even his beard and hair seemed to be blown by the wind. The originally decadent middle-aged man seemed to have transformed into an imposing emperor in an instant.
"Come on, let me see if you're qualified to receive the swordmaster's inheritance!"
